out 6 them, as lung as the variance between Eug:and and the
United States is kept up, and we contribute to the reveztoe hews
by paying the tariff duties. It is agreed on all hands, ttot the
Emperorh policy is not to afford evidence of the repeal his
berets, lest it should produce the repeal of the Orders in Comte
Ni; and by this policy, the people here do not disguise that they
are ''plguinc, that we shall be gradually led into hostilities with
England. But from recent communications from England, an
apprehension entern.ined, that she may be constrained, fur her
own sake, to re:i".lnitsh her Orders in Council, In which event,
there CIO hardly be a ddutit, but that all .American property I
within the Emperor's grasp, will be seised, not merely on ac-
count of its magnitude, nor from ef.hilty to us, but from a fazed
itaoh.tinn to give a fair trial to his falourite plan of subduing
England, in which, circ4imstances every day snake him niore and
mote sanguine; for politicians here undertake to ProVe, that the
neutrality of the United States would be more pernicious than
their enmity to the success of this system. Although I cannot
see into this, yet the idea seems co rooted, that I would not trust
to any effort Mr. Barlow can make to the Government here, to
abandon it—and so long as it prevails, cur merchants will be
subject to insecurity. Hence you will infer, that the relations of
the United States at this moment, are not viewed by this Govern-
ment as neutral towards EuglAnd."

IBM THE BALTIMORE COMMERCIAL GAZETTE OF THE

JOEL BAR Low.--We understand, that notwithstand-
ing the exterior studied reception of our Minister. in
order to answer the present policy of the French Go-
vernment, no man is more odious at Paris. His former
personal demeanour, and unfavourable standing as
an individual, have risen up against him ; bo far
from the applause which is contained in the Empe-
ror's answer to his Address, as sent here for publica-
tion, having been actually bestowed, the reverse sen-
timent is felt in its fullest force. His brain-sick and
disorganizing pamphlets, and his song of go God save
the Guillotine," which, contrary to his public denial
when in this country, is said to admit of living proof
against him at Pair., have rendered him obnoxious
beyond the hatred. which is felt for mere French Ja-
cobins.

Mr. EWERS, the Messenger, arrived this morning
with dispatches from Cadis ; but they are not of so
tecent a date as those which have been already com-
municated to the public.

The PRtECE REGENT Will hold a Privy Council

Yesterday there was a meeting of Irish Noblemen
and Gentlemen at the Tharched-house 'Tavern, to
receive the Report of the Committee to whom the
Petitions in favour of the Catholic claims were en-
trusted. The Petitions were handed in, which were
signed by a number of the most respectable persons
connected with Ireland by birth and property. It
was understood that the Petition' to the Lords was to
be presented by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and that
to the Commons by Mr. PONSONBT. We understand,
however, that the Irish Catholics arc desirous that
their Petition, and the Petition of the Protestants in
their favour, should be presented to the PRINCE RE.
oisr, before the question of their claims shall be
brought forward in Parliament.
Never were cordiality and harmony more happily
prevalent between the Catholic ar.cl Protestant gentry

the merchants and manufacturers of Perth.
It is a melancholy fact, that at this time nearly

Papers attd letters have been received from Cadiz
by a private• ship, the former to the 13th, the latter
to the 20th of last month. The intelligence tends to
she* the extrt.ine distress of the french for provisions,
and the advantages likely to be derived from the
forward movements of the allies on the south side of
the Tagus.-:-Tlte following is an extract from one
of our letters :

" CADIZ, MARCH 19.

" The capture of Valencia is an unwelcome event, but it is
not so pernicious to rile cause of Spain as has been conjectured.
'rhe*Govertment here having refused to ratite the capitulation,
the French wilt not be able to convey their prisoners to France,
and great numbers of them will effect their escape.
" Nine battalions vii the enemy have been removed from the
besieging army before this fortress. The French are in great
want of Rrovisions, and our own troops being sufficiently sup-
plied, we bntertain no doubt that Badajoz will tall, and the con-
sequence of this success will naturally be, that the enemy must
abandon the lines before LUdiz."

Another letter front an Officer at Head-quarters,
of the latest date, says, that the French are not in a
condition to concentrate: their forces, in order to re-
lieve Badajoz, from the want of provisions. It
assures that Badajoz will surrender, that after it is•
reduced, the Allies will proceed against Seville, and
that such an enterprise, evcn if unsuccessful, must
occasion the raising of the si.tge of Cadiz, and if suc-
cessful, must produce the entire evacuation by the
French of the fertile province of Andalusia.

Other letters, adverting to titre miserable condition
of that part of the country, observe, that wheat is at
the enormous price of 360 rials the Fanega, which is
nearly double the price in times of unusual scarcity
during the last fifty years. It i s distressing to add,
that in many houses in the neighbourhood of the
Isla, the inhabitants have died from the want of suf-
ficient nourishment. ' The French had made some
further experiments in throwing shells into Culiz,
and five of them had reached the place, which, how-
ever, had done no material clamage.

In thf, Journals it is mentioned, that 8000 of the
enemy had proceeded fromVailatlolid towards France,
exclusive of the division of Rocca, and that 1800
sick remained in the hospitals of the city. Tie corps
of the Count of NIONTLIO, according to intelligence
from the interior of Castile, had penetrated as far as
'Burg° de Osna.

On board some of the transports, which arrived
with the last convoy at the Motherbank, are German
recruits and deserters, from the French army.

Monday se'nnight a Court-;martial was held on
board the GLADIATOR, to try Ms. THOMAs GERRARD,
Gunner of his Majesty's sloop VA trowt, for drunken-
ness ; which being proved, he was sentenced to be
dismissed from his office as Gunner, and to serve in
any other situation that the Commander-in-Chief at
Portsmouth shall think fit.

The Court next proceeded to try Lieutenant J.
BRowNE, Commander of the SYLVIA cutter, and Mr.
JOHN SHARP, the Pilot, for running the cutter on
shore, in coming from the Downs to Portsmouth, on
the mor❑ing of the 23d. The Court having com-
pleted the enquiry, was of opinion that blame was
imputable to Lieut. BROWNE, for neglect of duty,
and he was sentenced to be severely reprimanded ;
that great blame was imputabh to Mr. SHARP, the
Pilot, for inattention to his duty, and altering the
course during the night, and did sentence him to lose
all pay due to him for his services in the navy, and
to be rendered incapable of ever serving as a Pilot
hi the Royal Navy again.
Musco PARK—Extract from the Calcutta Monthly
Journal, for June, 1811 :—" No certain intelligence
has hitherto been received of the fate of Mr. Mungo
Park ; but it appears by the English papers, that the
accounts of his safety are still doubted. We know
not whether the lotlowing circumstances, as commu-
nicated by Mr. Pearce, in Abyssinia, to Captain Rod-
land, at Mocha, in a letter, dated Antalou, the 29th
of December, 1810, are calculated to lessen those
doubts or not. The person alluded to is either Mungo
Park of Mr. Horneman, who has been sent by the
Diletanti Society on a similar mission. A friend cf
Mr. Pearce's, who has a relation, a merchant, in the
Shoa, Calla, and who left Efat three manths ago,
saidi that some strange white man had arrived in the
country of Shoa, and was expected at Efat with an
intention to proceed thence to Tigri. Since this in.'
formation, Mr. Pearce heard, that a white man was`
seen beyond Meta. Mr. Pearce had obtained leave
from the Ras to proceed to 3hoa. in consequence
of a letter addressed by Captain Rudland to the Rae
Welleta Selasse, orders had been given, that in case
Mr. Park entered the territories of the Ras, every at-
tention was to be shewn him, and every ailliStialte
afforded him to reach Masse►wa."
