" In order to render still more compete our melluances, which
have for object the interruption of all commerce with England
and her colonies, and reader alt the attempts she may mate to
I hifringe them nugatory, we have judged right to decree as fol-
lows:-.-Front the day of this publication, all importation of co-
lonial goods from Russia is prohibited without exception—so
that all colonial products arriving by land, from Rifssia,
into any of our proviuces, whether they have or have not
paid in Russia the Continental 1 arif, or others in existence,
and although they may .be accompanied by unsuspected certi-
ficates of-origin agreeably to the Cent nental System, shall be
immediately confiscated, without any formalities whatever, for
the advantage of our treasury. In return, the trade in all other
merchandise but colonial produce, between Russia arid our States,
continues to be permitted as heretofore.
" All our faithful subjects, particularly those employed In the'
Excise and Customs upon the frontiers, must conform to the pre-
sent ordinance—and in order not to curb by this ordinance, the
commerce carried on in the interior of the country, with the old
colonial products, or those coming from France or other States,
which obst'rve with the most rigid strictness the Contineutal sys-
tem, eve order all our officers of Excise, from the present time, to
give to senders of goods above described of snore than a quintal
weight, a particular attestation in tierman and French, stating,
that such merchandise did not proceed from Russia, in contra-
vention of the present decase. lu places where there are com-
mercial commissaries, these attestations shall be presented to
them. We impose upon them, as well as those employed in the
•Excise, the indispensible obligation of ascrnainitig m the most
exact mauner the origin of these goods, before they a►edtspatched
into the interior of the country. (;,igned)

GENTLEMEN—The independence and tranquil-
lity of our counjry is again menaced, and important
circumstances Lave rendered your assemblage neces-,
sary. Whether the Power, whose ambition has so
frequently desolated our fruitful plains, will listen to
the admbnitions of reason, a short time will show :
in the mean while, it is incumbent upon all to mani-
fest their devoted attachment to their country, and
their particular affectioo to our Great Protector, by
rallying around those colours, which his genius hiss
so often led to victory. Gentlemen, remember that
we owe the independence of our country to t
greatest of heroes—that he merits our gratitude, oue'
affection, and tie most profound devourm:—let us
then be prepared to follow, either in the North or the
South, the bright career of glory which his genius
may trace." • -
1n an order of the day, Prince Poniatowski cow
cludes his address to the soldiers as follows ;
" Fellow Snld;ers—Remember the trophies which
your brethren have gained in Spain under the ban-
ners of the Great Napoleon—emulats their deeds,
and merit the highest reward...the thanks .01 tbo
Fangerur el the Vouch."

to comply with his wishes. I need not acid 1.:ow very
flattering it is to receive from his Excellency Pie
assurance of the approbation of his Majesty's Sem,

have rendered. If the nature of the service in which
lam to-be engaged will require no other disburse-
ments than for my individual expenCes, I do not ap.
prehend that these can exceed my private resources.
I shall be ready to take my departure before my in.
structions can be made out. I have the honour to be,

" Montreal, February 10, 1009.
a SIR—I have the honour to ackn7wledge the re.
ceipt of your Excellency's letter of instructions, the
letter of credence, and the cypher for carrying on my
correspondence. I have bestowed much pains upon
the cypher, and am notwithstanding this, deficient in
some points, which might enable me to understand it
clearly. I have compared the example with my owe,
exemplification of the cypher, and find a differencsin
the results ; and, as the present moment seems fa.
vourable to the interference of his Majesty's Coven.
ment in the measures pursued.by tht federal party in
the Northern States, and more especially as the As..
sembly of Massachussetts is now in Session, I think it
better to set forward immediately, than wait for any
further explanation of the means of carrying oe a se.
cret correspondence ; which the frequency of safe
conveyances to Canada will render almost wholly ea
necessary. Should it however be necessary at any
time, I take leave to suggest that the index alone fur.
nishes a very tale and simple mode. In if there is*
number for every letter in the alphabet, and partite.
Jar numbers for particular phrases—so that when I •
do not find in the inslex the p articular word I want.
can spell it with the hgure, which stand opposite to
the letters. For example, ii I went to say that ',troops
,are at Atbany," I find under the letter “ T" that
number 16 stands for " coups," And number 125f0r
Aihatiy." The intervening words " are at" Imps
ply by figured corre-ponding with the letters to 4014
words. It w ill be necessary to provide aping lode;

lency, and send it (rem Montreal by mail. I will be
careful not to address your Excellency in the body of
the letter, nor sign my name any of them. They
will be merely designated by the initials A. B. *

a sir—l have remained here two days, in ordek
fully to ascertain the progress of the arrangemesa
heretofore made, for organizing• an efficient °pewit
tion to the general Government, as well as to become .
acquainted with the opinions of the leading Peoples
relative to the measures of that purty which has dn.,
ascendency in the national councils.
" On the subject of the embargo laws there viol

" I learn that the Governor of this State is no*
