After long and repeated conferences between the
Members of the Board of Trade and the Merchants
Intetested in the commerce with France, the difficul-
ties attending the interchange have at length been
removed, and the last and most serious impediment
has been disposed of under the subsequent arrange.
ment.

It is now admitted, that the parties may commence
by the import from France, on the condition that the
commodities so introduced are to be warehousedl
under the joint lock of the Crown and the Proprietor,
as a security for the exportation by the same ship
employed in the import.
To the value of .45 per ton on the admeasurement
of the vessel, is to be the smallest amount imported,
to entitle the parties to the benefit of this intercourse.
The limits within which the trade under such cir-
cumstances is allowed, are from the harbour of Caen
to the river Ems inclusively.
The articles to be exported under these British li-
cences, according to the understanding with the Court
of France, comprehend almost every species of mer-
chandize, British manufactures, in the restricted sense
of the phrase, excepted.
The ship employed in this commerce must be of
the burden of 100 tons and upwards.
The French goods to be received, comprised in the
catalogue now formed, are the followi.:g :
Seeds, Cheese, Fruit, Bristles, Porcelain, Rusbev Clinker,,
Thread, Tapes, Perfumery, Flax, Linens, lawns, eambricks,
Silks' raw and thrown Lace, Quicksilver, Flax and Linen Yarn,
Jewellery, Bronzes, iiooks, Drum, medicinal (nut dyeing.)
Licences were yesterday granted for St. Peters-
burgh, notwithstanding the hostile appearances in the
North of Europe. It is to be assumed, from this cir-
eumstance, that Ministers ate of opinion that ALEX.
ANDER will continue favourable to British commerce,
and that France, notwithstanding her immense host
of preparation, will not, by conquest or influence, be
abie to disappoint the intercourse which these licences
are intended to assist, before the returns to the mer-
chant are completed.
Notwithstanding the seizure and condemnation of
a ship in a Swedish port belonging to a British trader,
(mentioned in our Paper of yesterday) we know it to
be a fact, from indisputable authority, and we state
it with great satisfaction, that an arrangement is con-
cluded by Sweden with an agent from this country
ander which all the ships seized in the like situation,
with their cargoes. are to be surrendered to the
owners, a bones being paid to the Swedish Govern-
ment in consideration of such surrender.
Extract from the Borten Cauinel of the 15th ult.—
.! The ship Olive Branch, Captain BRADLEY, of and
for Philadelphia, from Hull, with a very valuable
cargo, has been captured by a Nench privateer.—
Some insurance on the above vessel has been done in
this town. She had a Danish licence, and a Sound
pass 1 but her being valuable will be a strong reason
for the French to condemn her."
