SEPTEP•IBER 2.—The accounts which are receive,
from all sides announce the result of the active host;
lity carried on against the commerce of the Englisl
Colonial produce is-every where confiscated, whetlic
it case in Turkish or American vessels, or is ai
companied by pretended certificates of origin frot
the French Consuls in America, ar Patras, or at Go
tenburgh. Universal vigilance is awakened, an
such papers are known to be false. In Russia, i
Prussia, in Mecklenburgb, in Italy, and at Naple
confiscations rapidly succeed each other ; and ti
Continent is actually supplied at English expense.-
The circumstances of that power ;row more periloi
every day. With the activity which the Continent
Powers exert to seize every thing in the shape of c
lonial produce, it is not at all doubtful that the co:
=tierce of England is beginning to feel the dangers
its position.—Moniteur.
We are authorised to repeat more distinctly th
which we have already stated in many of our form
papers, that no French Consul gives or has the pow
to give a 'certificate of origin for colonial produi
and so every cert;ficate which is produced as su
must be false and fabricated. A vessel, pretendil
'to come from New York, lately arrived at Pete
burgh with a false certificate—She has been con
cated.—Thid.
The French Agents, and those of the Alli
Powers, every where confiscate Colonial produce.
