Two ships have arrived from Havre with consign-
ments of 500 bales of silk from that pov. By those
vessels letters have been received which state that the
-number of licences granted by Bouxesareezeeeds all
former periods, they have been sent to all parts of the
Continent. The writer further adds, and explains
the cause of BONAPANTes generosity,“ Owing," he
says, ~ to the great probability of a war, when great
resources are wanting to fill the Treasury, the licences
will be very productive in point of bringing in large
sums from the duty on goods imported by the said
licences. This is a mode of commerce which the
Emperor always resorts to in such periods. He fur-
Ither says; it is likele that a new duty will take place
lon the goods bring imported."
Intelligence is received that the TIRIMIDSDOOS and
POICTIIIts, which were left by the DIANA in pursuit
of the L'Orient squadron, have returned to their sta.
'aim off Brest, haying lost sight of it in thick weather
the second day of the chase. From their taking
a N. W. direction, it seems probable that Brest
was their destination, and their object in going so
, far to the westward as 9. SOi'might have been to
I avoid our cruirers. Having got so far, however, to
the westward, they would find it very difficult to re-
gain the French ci ast in such strong easterit winds.
