b, Feb. 15, 1810.

My Lord—ln pursuance of the intimation which I
had the honour to give to your Lordship a few days
ago, I beg to trouble your Lordship with an inquiry
whether any, and if any, what blockades of France,
instituted by Great Britain during the present war,
before the Ist of January, 1507, are understood by
his Majesty's Government to be in force.' I am not
able at present to specify more than one of the block-
ades to which this inquiry applies ; namely, that from
the Elbe to Brest, declared in May, 1806, and after-
wards limited and modified ; but I shall be much
obliged to your 'Lordship for precise information as
to the whole. (Signed) WILLIAM PINKNEY.

Foreign Office, March 2.

Sir—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of the 15th ult. whether any, and if any,
what blockades of France, instituted by Great Bri-
tain during the present war, before the Ist day of Ja-
nuary, 1807, are understood by his Majesty's Go-
vernment to be in force I have now the honour to
acquaint you, that the coast, rivers, and ports, from
the river Elbe to Brest, both inclusive, were notified
to be under the restrictions of blockade, with certain
modifications, on the 16th of May, 1806; and that
these restrictions were afterwards comprehended in
the Order of Council of the 7th of January, 1807,
which Order is still in force. (Signed)

My Lord—l have had the honour to receive your
Lordship's Answer, of the 2d instant, to my letter of
the 15th of last month, concerning the blockades of
France, instituted by Great Britain during the pre-
sent war, before the Ist of January, 1807. I infer
from that-answer that the blockade notified by Great
Britain in May 1806, from the Elbe to Best, is for
itself in force, and that the restrictions which* esta-
blished, rest altogether, so fAr as such restrictions
exist at this time, upon an Order or Orders in Coun-
cil, issued since the Ist day of January, 1807. I infer
also either that no other blockade of France was in-
stituted by Great Britain during the period above-
mentioned, or that, if any other was instituted during

MR. SMITH, DATED PARIS, APRIL Irf IV&

The day before he set out he gave me a ship to carry
myself and family to the United States. Tie Minister
recommended that I should not pin myself down to

it proper for me to stay somewhat longer than I now
intended. The treaty between France and Holland

this day in Holland. lam assured that it contains
the following article :
All the merchandise conveyed into the ports of
Holland on board American vesgels, since the Ist day
January, Ibo 9, shall be put under sequestration,
subject to the disposition of France, according to cir-
cumstances, and the political relations with the United
States."

You will see by the copy enclosed of a decree rsf
the King of Napier, that he has put his gains beyond
the reach of Negociation. The ports of Prussia .0e
open to our commerce. Avoid both Prussia and Den-

being yet detained, I am able to inform you, that on
the 11th instant the Emperor directed the sale of all
the American vessels taken in the ports of Spain, and
that the money aring therefrom should be placed in

Hero, and has ordered that the case be brought before
the Council of Prizes, where condemnation necessa-
rily awaits it. I send a copy of a note upon which

readers are m.w in possession of the dispatches re-
ceived by the John Adams. The National Intelligenc,r
on this subject, remarks, that though they add little
to the information previously received. they place that
information in the most unquestionable shape, by
giving. it an official stamp. The hope that our fri-
gate would not have been suffered to depart with suer
unwelcome intelligence is dissipated ; and nothing re-
mains but the manifestation of the naked purpose of
the French Government to pursue what it considers
its line of interest, without regarding our interests or
our rights. It is possible that prev;ons to the depu--
ture of General Armstrong someamicable propositions
may be made ; but they ought not to be expected,
much less relitd upon."

It is his opinion that the Fxecuuve will call Congress
together, and that with little other expectation than
to resolve an open hostility with France by allowing
our merchant vessels to arm, by granting letters of
marque and reprisal, and by repairing and increasing
our navy. Our situation with Great Britain he thinks
will remain in stay quo. As to the embargo, he has

Within these last few days some circumstances of
'a suspicious nature, connected with the death of the
late Crown Prince, have been reported.

In consequence of the late unfavourable rumours
in circulation respecting Countess Piper, (the sister of
Count Fersen) that Lady has addressed a memorial
to the King, demanding trial, which has been com-
plied with.

No less than five attempts have been made to set
this city on fire, but thank GOD, without succels.—
We continue quiet at present, as every precaution is
taken to prevent the assembling of a mob.
The cavalry are incessantly patroling, and after 11
o'clock no one is permitted to walk the streets, unless
provided with a. card de securite. Cantonments of
infantry are in every quarter of the city.
