We mentioned yesterday the arrival at Plymouth

F, on the 13th December, the election" for Presi-
was nearly over; and Mr. MADISON'S return
considered certain, the State of North Carolina
entirely in his favour. Dr. EUSTIS had re.
his situation of Secretary of W.ir ; and there
but little doubt that General ARMSTRONG would

of the war was, it is said, ensured.—To-day
continue our extracts from the American Papers
' yesterday.

Letters from Cadiz, of the 23d ult. state, that the
ship Washington, laden with flour for the
of his Majesty's troops at Cadiz, and with a Bri.
licence on board, was captured by his Majesty's
GRAMPUS, Captain BARRIE, and sent to the West

Twenty-two ships had lost their anchors and cables
the harbour during a storm. Of three ships rim
shore two were wrecked. A man of war and a
'chant vessel were drivets out of the port. Two
:kets from England had arrived.

It is reported, but with What truth we Ithow not,
Ministers and the East India Company have
womised the great question at issue between
Their Calmer is to be renewed for a ivry
Ated period—the trade to be then thrown open
ithout farther ceremony.

The following Circular shews how anxiously the
French Government regards every thing connected
with Commerce. It was addressed to every agent
(alias spy) for the French Government, throughout
Europe and America

(CRCULAR.)
" MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
"

" Saa—His Majesty having determined to direct the efforts
of the Administration to the imprevement of commercial legis-
lation, and the discovery of the best means of Increasi i.g the
prosperity of our agriculture and our industry, by procuring fw
that produce agreater exportation,

You are cafJed upon to contribute to ths a ccompllshment of
dere paternal views of his Majesty, by the information which
your sitution enables you to collect on the present state of the
ezisting commercial relations between France and the count!),
in which you reside; and by the observations which your seal
and knowledge may suggest to you, on the measures to be taken
for facilitating and multiplying these relations.
" I have the honour of specifying to you the points to which
it is requisite you should principally direr your attention :
" 1. ("fur maritime commerce, carried on by means of licences
granted by Government, and the means of forming a positive
opinion on the advantages and inconvenlencies of this system.—
I desire, therefore, to be informed unity of the arrival of vessels
bating licences in foreign ports; of the nature of the cargoes;
of all the circumstances of their navigation; whether they have
conformed in England to those arrangements which they should
have made for the success of their operations, either with refer.
cnce to the English Government, or the merchants of that coun-
try; of the species of facilities which the English Government
afford to ships having licences, the motives which determine
them to grant those facilities, and the conditions which they iro-
iose. I desire also to be informed of the obstacles which the
zuthorities of the country throw in the way of the admission or
sale of our merchandise, imported by virtue of licences, and
of the discontents and complaints to which our licences give
rise, on the part of foreign governments.
" 2. What is the price current of wheat; according to the
measures used in France ? Observe and make known the re-
markable variations which it experiences, point out whether the
country has in this respect a superfluity, or is deficient. In the
first case, what are its accustomed places of export ? in the se-
cond, from what country, and by what way does it derive its
grain ?

" 3. Are the wines and brandies of France consumed in the

entry ? What are their present prices ? What were their
prices before the interruption of commerce ? Let me have a
price-current.

" 4. What species and what quantity of French manufactured
wicks does it import ? Does the insufficiency of the manufac-
tures of the country, or its cnimercial relations, give rise t., or
permit these importations? Does derive a profit from
her commerce; what is it, and how can France succeed to the
same advantage ? This, it will be seen, must be briefly set forth,
<ral as much as possible founded on facts, not conjecture.
" 5. What are the difficulties encountered by our manufac-
turers in the country ? What is necessary to be done to remove
difficulties, and favour the importation of merchandize ma-
-tured in France ?
" 6. What nations can enter into competition with us in the
• of manufactured goods? What species of advantage have
over us, either in their commerce or their Industry ?
1. What are the raw materials which France exports to, or
from, other countries ?

" 3. What is the price current of colonial produce ?

" Amongst these questions there are some which it will be
easy for you to answer by means of the Bulletins circulating
amongst merchants. I propose to you others, Sir, as the habi-
tual object of your study and your researches.
" It is important, in order that the intentions of his Majesty
may be fulfilled, that you should frequently correspond with me

on our conunercial interests, taking care to state nothing but toil-
tioe facts, gad from documenk of the bat authority.
" 1 invite you to transmit to me, without delay, those which
you &Aye, doeinku, already procured relative to this point,
