" Many Itinch journal have afforded, that the
Ojai of the &feast
.lint on Toefday len to the Se•
nate, was to communicate an Imperial decree, prohi-
biting all correfpondence with the Britith iflands,
and the confifcation of Briti& property, public and
private, which might be found in Frame, or on any
oldie territory occupied by the French troops.
" We expert the publication of the documents
and Gfficiil pieces, which may throw more light
upon, and give more importance to this meafure.—
As we run a ague of erring as to the details; until
we have the whole before us, we !bell only fubmit
the following refleeions, fuggeßed to us by the firfl
idea which this news prelents, with caution and
difirutl. This decree, brought shoot by extraordinary
eircumflancm—by an exaggerated abufe of the new
maritime legillation adopted by England, cannot be
confidered but as a reptilel ezercifed by an enemy
whole patience and generofity England has at length
exhaufled. This decree Teems to outrage the ideas
generally received, in which one is not accufloined to
hear filch language from the mouth of the Conqueror
of Aufterliti llnd. Jena s but the opinions hitherto
adopted refpernhig the maritime code, and the ap-
plication that England has made of them, were falfe
in themfelves i foreign to the law of nations, con-
trary to humanity, and repugnant to the prefent ci-
vilization of Europe.
" Continental wars, in the infancy of fociety, and
during the invefions of the barbarians, were ezatily
what the maritime wars cre at prefent with refpea
to civilifed nations.
" Ooe may feel anorrifbment, but Rill ibis Is no-
thieg beyond firia truth—in thefe ferocious wars,
the property and the perfons of the vanquifherl palled
levet to the conqueror—individual was never dillin-
rithed from public property. Force was .the only
aw acltiowledged. We read the hißory of 'bete
calamities with horror. and yet we can Rill look upon
limes teeth trar.qoillity in the preterit mat iiiyfre wars.
The Eugllth pillage individuals of their property with
*spurn., t they treat their perfons as naves—they
even pay no regard to newish. ThoLegiflation of
die laiglins 1,. in every terpern, the legiflation of pi-
rates or barbarians.
" If every power polkaed the means of refinance
neatly equal.they would foon feel the meellity of
recurring to principles left, defirullive of all fociety,
of all veapneal eqrsmerce, of all common indunry.
They would coon diningurfh, as they have done in
the Continental- war, between the perfon of the na-
tion, and public and private property. But England
moll conveniently' oppofes every developement of
fo:ial ideas, es in this relpell the Pets up an exchifive
fytlem of morals and laws for herfelf alone. En-
tirely Reed aloe one objed, fubjeding die greaten
interefts of 4repe to commercial avidity, the hes
cxhaulled their fubflance, devoured their . capitals,
and, Rriuliy (peaking, has conquered the indultry of
the Continent.
" We have leveret limes thrown nut fame hefty
ideas relative to this g. adual ufurpation. This would
form the matter rather .1 a volume, than article
in a ncwlpaper. In re.umiag our ideas upon this,

cubjeft, wa may oblerve the •dvantap England has
bad over all the nations on the Continent. She has
never had but one °Nett, which was to proceed with
a firm and uninterrupted progrtfs. Other States
have been diltrafted with the aoimety the has excited.
among them relative to intrigues and foreign Ince-
refts. France alone, being in a fituatisn to pre•
vent the ufurpation of commerce, and able to under-
rate the caufe with fuccefs, has been the particu-
lar objeft of her enmity and hatred. The French
marine has only Bourithed at intervals, hecaufe at
the moment when it might have freed Europe from
the maritime yoke of England, the latter always
called forth enemies to ward off its blows.—Every
maritime power has been a !pedal object of attack
with the Englith ; but the hatred the bore eo France
has furvived the ruin of all the reit which the has
defiroyed.
4. Why have Aufiria, Ruffia, and Nutria been fo
often in alliance with England ? It is becaufe AuAria
is not a maritime power. Daring the fisort interval
when Jofeph 11. witted to have at marine, be excited
the ill will ofthiEnglith.
~ As to Pruffia, England taw Frederick I. and his
fuceeffors pars from the Margraviate of Brandenburg
to a kingdom of the firA order, without regret, be-
canfe it would difreember the Hans Towns. whole
concurrence and maritime confederation might isave
been dangerous to her.
u Refpcaing Ruffin, which advances with the pace
of a giant, and which already weighs fo heavy upon
the Weetern and Southern States of Europe, Eng.
land has not been alarmed ; the (huts her eyes upon
remote dangers and fooeOffive ulurpations. She fa-
vours the fyllem which defrays the equilibrium of
Europe, in hopes of gaining a powerful ally in the
North—a kind of bugbear to (Tooth her rivals ; and,
above all, with the hope of having a treaty of corn.
*scree, a hope completely realifed. She is not oon-
tented with carrying Ruffian merchandize—the her-
felf has manufeetured•articl es of the firit occeffity out
of them-; and thus, far fifty years pall, received the
benefits of freights, broketags, and iodultry.
" For this fhameful ccmfideration, England has
contented to the redudlion of Sweden and Denmark.
Perhaps the was charmed with the idea that the two
Powers, who commanded the important palthge of
the Sound, (hould be weakened in loch a manner, as
never to be able to difpute it. Eisfides, the has fan
with pleafore tome ;famed neutral cities, under des
name of free and Imperial cities with Out protealow,
and which the has looked upon as her depots, and ea'
offices for her clerks.
" But the moment has arrived to flop the couith
of thefe maritime ufarpstions. The efforts magenta
of to defiroy France have a► length tended to being
her into contaft with her enemy.
•, The afcendancy the has gained on the Contineat
will fufpend its quarrels, and bring back the midden'
to a point more important in refpett to the pro/pe-
rky ol mations, than the acqoifition of Come provinces,
grid the advantage they may offer to the pride of their
Sovereign.
" France, compelled to contend with different
anns, ought not, however, to abandon the field of
battle : the traveller whom robbers may attack with
pifiols, may defend hirnfelf with the (word. The
'reach Government, in bacithing the;Englith into
their own i(land, makes ofe of the right they have
given her. She will refume the ancient code, the an-
cient privileges of the Conqueror, till England than
adopt a maritime -regulation conformable to the new
code of war between civilized nations."
MADRID, NOV. sr.
Letters fromGr evade mention a fecond earthquake,
but do not contain any details of the firll, which gives
us reafon to hope that the accidents have not been fo
fatal as we have been taught to expect. They (peak
much of a journey which the King intends to make to
Valentia, a country to which he is extremely partial.

NAPLES, NOV.i.s.
They write from Capri that the north winds have
done much damage there. Eight veffels were lately
driven on Chore, and among others a polacre, laden
with proviGons from Palermo ; and a (mall armed
veffel, employed as a cruizer upon the co.+ Capri
is (bort of provifions. It often happens thhe they do
net know where to get (applies for the garrifon,cons-
poled of 800 men, Calabrians and Sicilians, and who
do not conceal their difcontent.
The following are the particulars of the lad pro-
ceedings on the :or& of Fra Diavolo, the wretched
agent of the Court of Palermo and Sir Sidney Smith:
.• For (even' days only a fraall party of the ma-
lefallors attached to his fortunes remained with him,
with whom he endeavoured to reach fozne of tbeEag
Hs (hips. From the mountains of Sarno he defcen-
ded to Callellamare. Not being able to efcape from
that quarter, he proceeded to Salerno, and followed
the'coaft, from whence, Come days before, a large
boar, probably intended to receive him, was difita•
vered. Being purfwed by the provincial guard 41(
Monte Camino, he took fhelter in the mountains of
Olivaro and Campagna. Vito Adeliazi, bis Lieute-
nant, .was killed in the houfe of a peafant near that
towntby two national guards, who wounded another
of his companions.
44 On the zsoh ult. S. Belardi, of Palermo, ano-
ther officer of Fra Diavnlo's troop, was met by a
patrnle of the national guards, and WA' not put to
death, in confequence ofhis promiflog to difoover
to them a hidden treafure. He then conduced
them to a myrtle grove, about a mile off where
they found a great banner, richly embroidered by
the hands of (teen Caroline and her daughters,
which Fra Diavula had• received from Sir Sid-
ney Smith, as the dandard of general infurreaion
and mafracse. Near it another Englifh flandard was
found, which Belardi declared bad been given to Jo-
feph Pezza, the younger brother of FraDrav clo.—
This wretch having fuceeffively loft all his compa-
nions, fled with a tingle brigand from the neighhoar.
hood of Campagna, and paffed near Eboli, through
the midfl of a French detachment, without being
kaolin by them. He was wounded, barefooted, in
rags, and walked with difficulty. He went to the
' village of Baronife, near San Severino, to buy w
pair of (hoes.. The apothecary, who was a corporal
in the town guard, feting an unknown perion in
(tech a (tate, began to ftifpeft him, and afked him
who he was ? His anfwer was, .1 that he was a Ca.
labrian who was waiting for his companions. The
apothecary invited him to hit houfe, where he was
immediately arreded and condn'ted to Salerno. He
was there identifl:d by a ftrjeant in the Ntefogian
ithatiy."

Yellerday his Haisary came to town, and the
Speech to be read to both Houfes of Parliament to-
morrow was settled. It is underllood that it allodes
to the general Rate of our affairs, and the profpefts
which they hold out. It (peaks with confidence of
the refources and the ability of the Country to fur
port the tooted, and to bring it to a fuccefsfel ;flue.
It elludes to the events which have occurred fine'
Parliament was left affembled, the Capture of Buenoa
Ayres, the failure of the Negotiation, &c. The
Speech will be read by Lord Gwent' and Laid
