ARMISTICE CONCLUDED.

In our Paper of Saturday we anted our opinion
1. ,
that the Argo': Newfpaper, found in the open 'boat
drifted out of Boulogne and forwarded to Govern-
ment, containing an account of an Armillice having
been concluded between the Emperors Faracts and
Navossos, was really what it profeiled to be, and
not a forgery as many of our contemporaries main-
tained.

By French and Dutch papers received yeßerday
by Government, the former' to the 19th and the
latter to the 24th inftant, the opinion we gave is
proved to have been corral. The 3oth and 31R
Bulletin given in the Argo:, are aaually found in the
Moniteur ; and in the fame journal publithed on the
18th inR. is inferted the 3sd Bulletin and a copy of

nsh !ism concluded, and that even Atttittiti has

ac.-e.3ed to it.

Ire will rot dwell on the fulea. We are llill in

want of tome neceffary information which the Ham-

burgh Mails, of which three are now due, may be et-

petted to furnifh. But we apprehend that already we

have enough before us to roufe the energies of even the
befotted,to the danger with which this country is

row threatened. This is not a time to talk of what

slight have been done or fhould have been done

by our allies—but what ought to have been 'done long
ago by ourfelves.—lf this country fhould fuller by

want of preparation, it has not been for want of
warning. Thole who !hall longer negleft to call forth
the phyfical powers of the kingdom, will have much

to anfwer for, and we shall owe more to them ror

any mil-chief that may befall us, than to all the open

cr (etre machinations of our iinplicaLle enemy.

We have received New York Papers up to the
29th ult. On the 24th there was a ineetiog of the
Chamber of Commerce in that City: when it was
refnlved to prefent a remonfiratice to the Govern.
ment on the violence committed by France and
Spain on the Ameticio trade. This fubjeCt con-
tinues to excite much ditiontent and anxiety in the
United States. The frigates lately returned from
the Mediterranean, and which were to be paid off,
are ordered upon immediate fervice in the American
teas. The Congrefs and Conliellation frigates, which
bad proceeded to Wathington, there to be laid up,
have, in confecoence of counter-orders, returned to
Hampton Roads, and were, on the ald ult. on the
point of failing on a cruise. The Adams had failed.
and four other frigates were under orders to follow.
The objeEt of thefe arrangements is not clocla'red;
hut they are generally tinderflood io be for the pur-
pofe of protetting the commerce of the United States
agtinft thol'e acts of violence of which the Ameri.
eans complain. Of there complaints, the Englifh
a':e as frequently the fuhjeft, as the French, or the
!Spaniards, but not with equal juilict. With the
magnitude of the frauds PraCtifed again 4 This coun-
