His Majesty's Ship imperieuse, in the
• Gulph of Salerno, Oct. 1 i , 1811.
Silt—l have the honour to inform you, that his
Majesty's ship under my command, this morning
attacked three of the enemy's gun-vessels, carrying
each an 18-pounder and 30 men, mooted under the
walls of a-strong fen, near the town el Possitano,
in the Gulph ot Salerno : the Imperieuse was an.
chored about eleven o'clock within range of grape;
and in a few minutes the et.emy were driven from
their guns, and one of the gun-boats was sunk. It
however became absnlutelv necessary to get posses-
sion of the fort, the fire of v.-11kb, though silenccd,
yet (from its being regularly walled round. on all
sides) the ship could not dislodge the soldiers and
" that: of th&vessels' crews, who had made their escape
on shore and taken shelter in it; the !taring' and. a
party of seamen were therefore landed, 811 e: led .on
by the First Lieutenant, Eaton Travers, and Lieu-
tenant Pipon, ot the Royal Marines, forced their.
way into the battery in the most gallant style, under ,
R very heavy file of musketry, -obliging more than
treble their numbers to fly in all directions, leaving
behind about 50 rneu and 50 stand of arms. The
guns, which acre 24-pounders, were then thrown over
the cliff, the magazines, &c. destroyed, and the two
remaining gun-vessels brought off.
The zeal and gallantry of all the officers and crew
hi this affair, could not have beeen exceeded, but I
cannot find words to express my admiration at the
Dialing in which Lieutenant Travers commanded
and headed the boats' crews, and landing party, set-
ting she most noble example of intrepidity to the
oihcers _and men tinder hin,,
Owing to b, filing winds the ship was unavoidably

FRENCH COMMERCE.

MENEM/ BETWEEN BONAPARTE AND THE COUNCIL
GENERAL OF SIANUFACTURLI AND COMMERCE ON TiDt

24T11 Or MAY, 1811.

The Emperor alighthig from - his horse, after a
grand review, which lasted near three hours, gave
audience to the Council General of Manufactures and
Commerce.

1 he Minister of the Interior.—W I have the ho..
nour to present to you the Council General of Ma-
nufactures and Commerce—Mr. Martin, President,
Mr. Fermium, Vice President," &c.

His Majesty.—" How do you get on with your
manufactures s'nce I saw you at your worisbops ?
You still complain, do'nt you ? You do not circu-
late accommodation paper ? You—
M. Fernauz.—" I endeavour to regulate my en-
tetprizes according to my resources, and to have no
occasion for paper."

His Majesty.—" It is a bad expedient—things
should never be forced—many have created _fictitious
capitals in that way, and employed them in trading
with England. I will not suffer such conduct. You
should confine yourselves to the commerce of the
Continent. France, Italy, soon a great part of Spain,
Holland, and the territories of the Confederation of
the Rhine, afford a sufficiently extensive vent for the
products of your manufactures. English bills are
discounted here. The son of Mr. Martin (pointing
to M. Martin, jun.) has been dealing with :he Eng-
lish—he has discounted English bil6—he has failed;
and in his fate you may see what will befal every
one that has dealings with England."

M. Fernaux.—" Our ma nufactures have become
so flourishing under your Majesty's reign as to of
ford a surplus for other markets, and those may be
easily opened, notwithstanding the maritime war, by
underselling the manufactures of England ; and thus
the contraband trade. instead of being carried on to
our injury, would, from the very nature of things,
be turned against England, and in our favour."
His Majesty.—" That is not practicable. You
must limit your operations, and not fail into the in-
convenience of tco extensive and dangerous a com-
merce. I will have no contraband trade, pro nor con.
It would still turn to the advantage of England—
England, which we ought to combat. I vanquished
her at Jena, because th.: King of Prussia would not
make common cause with the Continent. He wish-
,ed to profit by commerce, whils: the other nations
suffered. I destroyed his monarchy : it was a great
' power. I pursued my conquests as far as Tilsit
there I stopped—l might have gone farther—to Wil-
na—but I made peace with the Emperor Alexandcr,
because he promised to accede to the Continen-
tal system, and to make common cause with me for
peace or war, against England—a measure which
had become necessary. I was desirous cf peace—l
' still wish for it, but with less ardour than formerly.;
because it is now less necessary fcr me. It would
have been greatly so, had I remained the mere sue,
cessor of the Kings of France. Like them, I should
have been on my knees before that powers for in short
he who has no other choice must submit to necessity.
11 am not the successor of the Kings of France, but of
the French Emperors; andias such I have the power
of subjugating England. lam the Elephant. Den-
mark habitherto conducted herself very well, and I
have resPEted her. If I have subjugated Holland
land the Hanle Towns, it was the English that corn-
pelled.me to do so. What occasion have Ito make
conquests and to extend my dominions? Are they
not already sufficiently extensive, and am I not
suili-
ciently powerful ? I even offered to the English to
preserve the King of Holland, if they would agree to
restrain the war to *hat it ought to be, and to what
it was before the treaty of Utrecht : but no—they
would respect nothing. I was compelled to annex
Holland, in order, on the one hand, to obstruct the
inlets of their merchandize into the Continent, and
on the other, to enable me to establish a navy, which
lam about t., create. I shall shortly have one. I
may, indeed, lose one or two naval battles, as hal al-
ready happened, because they are better organized ;
but, at last, I shall accomplish my purpose—in three,
in four, or in six years. In the mean time there must
be no commerce with them in such articles as are
prohibited ; and the merchants that attempt to con-
tinue it will repent their conduct. They may dude
the vigilance of the officers of the Customs ; but I
shall be sure to catch them, whether it be in two or
twelve months after ; they shall not enjoy a momtut's
tranquillity."

M. Fernaux.—" Sire, as we can no longer have
any markets abroad for our manufactures, it is of
the greater importance to preserve those which we
already possess ; and we entreat your Majesty not to
permit the Commercial Treaty with Italy to be an-
nulled, which would bz the result of the adoption of
the proposed new tarif. It• would double the duties,
and greatly diminish our exports, by favouring the
smuggling of foreign articles into that kingdom. I!
its design be to encourage the manufactures of that
country, your Majesty knows, that never Were they
so prosperous as since the Treaty cf Commerce took
place. Every one is satisfied with it."
His Majesty—(after a short intcrval of medita-
tion)" But, whilst there is an actual glut cf your
commodities, the consumers cemplaia that you sal
your cloths too dear."

M. Fernaux.—" The best expedient for making
them cheap is to remove the obstructions to their ex-
portation from the Contineut, and to encourage the
establishment of machinery, which would diminish
the price of labbur."

His Majesty.--44 But there would still be a mono-
poly."

M. Fernaur._" Sire, there can be no monopoly
where there is a competition among seven or eight
towns employed in the manufacture of cloths, and in
each of which there are from 25 to SO rnanufactoriei
striving to undersell each other. Besides, if a parti-ii
cular fabric yielded too large a profit, numerous com-
petitors would set up in the same line, who would
sell their commodities it a lower price, and wages
would thus be reduced to their proper level."
His Majesty." There are persons who, to create
a monopoly, put bills into circulation, and establish
a paper money—such as M. rauin—persons who
apply to the foremen of different establishments, and
set them up _ as manufacturers by advAncing them

rmoney. for two years at an enormous rate of interest.
Taenable them to give these usurious credits. they
themselves are obliged to become borrowers. Is this
the WU to carry on commence ?"

M. F.-46 Sire, the manufacturers are not to be
classed with such merchants, nor with sinugglers.,.
His Majesty.—" I have nevertheless granted ;hem
large-mtcours, and would have assisted them with
still greater advances, even to an unlimited anent,
had I seen nothing more than a glut. But I have
obterved, that in many instances it was unsafe; and
in many others, that I was promoting the designs and
coosmetce of my enemies more than the interest of
my own subjects; and upon this point I have tnne4
greater reason to complain of Irenchmen than of
the Hamburghers and Dutch. It was their tempi"
and petulance that induced them to trade by way of
the Baltic ; but that will not happen any

M. Sire, we have farther to entreat arc,
in order to prmote the sale of our manufacture,,
t•liat•you would establish a commercial treaty uith
the kingdom of Naples, upon the same basis as that
with. the kingdom of Italy."
His majesty.-44 In compliance with your requegb
I have already caused the duties to be reduced."'

M. F. 44 They have been replaced upon theirfoi,
mei footing. To mike this re-establishment c f heavy
duties take; it has bean decreed that the productions
of French industry only shall be admitted for con.
sumption in that kingdom—an illusory favour in re-
turn for that gave a preference to the cottons
of Naples and France ; for since foreign ccmmoditiet
were exchided.iri.m• the 'titian territory, they cowl
only be obtained by clandestine consignments from
England; add these heavy duties encourage seLy
int-LAU lent importations from the e!epots in hialta and
Sie4y."
His Majesty.—" That is not iiglit—(meditating).
We now !lase -cottons ; we shall soon have sugars
and indigoes. lam told, that the beet root sugar
of a•very good quality, and that it will not cue.,
higher than I f. 10 c. rer lb."
M. Attegucs.—" Sire, in the leloniteur it mas
cputed at l f. 49c. per kilogram."
M. Sugar is only 7 sous at the Mammal
and the attempts to produce it here must displace
s-me other branch of cultivation. There is, Picked,
reason to fear, that the manufactures of Europe will
be transferred to North. America--:that the trade
with India and South Ameriea will entirely taketbe
route of the Pacific Ocean—aid that these unforte.
nate wars .will cause Europe to lose all that supeno.
r:ty .wh;ch:the arts-have given stover the otherquat-
leis' of the glebe and which have rendered them its
ttiblitaries for so many ages."
His Majesty-i-(in a tone of firmness and vigour).
". That is true; hat •to whom should this evil be at-
tributed.? .To none but the English. Was it nut

WINDSOR, JAN. 12.-.• The Archbishops Of CANTeR•
IVRY and YORK, the Duke of MowritosE, and the
Earls of AYLISFORD and WINCHILSEA arrived yes-
terday, and examined the Physicians as to the state
of his Majesty's health. The examination was short,
fur no material change had occurred in the course of I
the week—though upon the whole the account was
not so favourable as on the preceding Saturday.—
Dr. JOHN Wain returned from Lincolnshire yester-
day, to resume his attendance ; but he goes to town 1
to be examined by the Committee of the two Houses
tomorrow.—The following is the Bulletin :

Yesterday the Dukes of YORK, CLARENCE, and
CAMBRIDGE, visited the PRINCE REGENT.

Tie Earl of WINCIIILSEA has begun to examine the
household as to the nature of their different employ-
ment and the emoluments arising therefrom, previous
to its being finally arranged as to their MAJESTIES'
and the PLUNGE REGENT'S household.

The Catholics of Limerick met on Monday last,
and voted Resolutions on the subject of the Catholic
question, which, like those previously voted at Cork,
are a mere echo of the Resolutions of the Dublin
Meeting, which we gave at fell length.
The Lords c f the Admiralty have caused an in-
quiry to be made at Portsmouth respecting the Su-
perannuated Warrant Officers, and those belonging
to ships which are building, wiih a view, it is sup.
posed, of dispossessing such of any situations they
might hold on board the prison-ships, it being incom-
patible with the regulations of the service for them to
receive the emoluments cf two employments.
The Armada, 74, Capt. A. MACKENZIE, is fitting
at Portsmouth for foreign service, it is supposed for
the Mediterranean. The Abouk r, 71, Captain G.
PARKER, is ord: red to cruize off the Isle of Bas. The
Furieuse, Capt. MOUNSEY, takes a convoy to the Me.
ditertanean—and th2Zenubia, Capt. A. MACKENZIE,
