Our Readers will 'team% with what caution
we viewed the declaration of the Minifier on
Tuefday, in the Houfe of Commons, and which
our contemporaries have generally confidered as
that the difpute with France was
nearly terminated. It may be fo, but certainly
the words of the Minifter did net warrant the eon-
ibrudicm generally put upon them, and the Public
will fee by what palled in the Rapti of Commons
ha night, that Mr. Ainn Gros' denies having even
intended to hint what the nature of the promifed
communication would be,and rays exprefsly that he
could not, beeank he did not then know hinsfelE

an intit

The dad of this explanation has been to deprefs
the Stocks a little, and if fomething more pacific
than has yet beta made public does not foon tranf-
pire they will probably be much lower in a short
time. The 3 per dents. st One o'clock, were at
661 for the May Account, andst 6ti for Money,
and were Rill looking downward.
We yefterday received American papers to the
2 tft of March inclufive. It appears by an official
mote of the Spanifh Minifter to the United States,
that for the moment the Americans are to receive
Tome fatisfadion refpeding a place of depofit for
their goods on the Spaniffi bank of the Miffiffippi.
The Marquis de Casa. YRAJO lays, that the con-
dud of the Intendant of New Orleans was merely
a perfonal ad. He admits, however, that it is
inconvenient for the Spaniards that New Orleans
Mould any longer be the place of depofit, and that
it is defirable that another fhould be fixed on. In
the mean time, be takes upon him to give the
Americans the ufe of New Orleans, as before.
Some accounts fay that the port is again open
to the Americans, but others ay it is only for
fuch articles as the Spaniards need. Thofe who do
not think the letter of the Marquis fatisfadory, alit
why he did not do before what he takes on hirofelf
to do now, and even doubt whether he' has any
authority in this matter, as he is only Minifter to
the United States? Befides. fay they, are not the
French coming,and will they refped what the Mar-
quis does on his own refponfility ! The warm heads
think it would have been better to have feized
Leuifiana at once. In truth. the Americans are
not likely to get much fatisfadion. They are too
powerful wow to receive as a boon what they can
extort by force. They will find, or make caufe of
complaint with any pofieffor of Louifiana, and
we hope they will find the natural boundaries of
the United States are quite in the oppofite direc-
tion to the French aanire/boundaries of Louifiana.
A pufillanimous weak Government may curb their
ardour for a while, but they will follow the pro-
grefs of population and of Rrength in fpite of it.
—Many treat Alt. Moitoe's embaffy to Paris.and
Madrid with ?tuition. This Gentleman, we have
already informed oar Readers, is appointed Am-
bafador to the Coutt of London.

The reports of the French having landed in
Louifiana we know to be untrue. A Preget} had
failed thither from St. Domingo.
Accounts from St. Domingo Rate. tkat on the
s 9th Nebruary the Negroes made a fierce attack on
the Cape, and, after a long conteß. were repulfed.
They took Fort Belair, and had they known how
to work the guns, would have battered the town
to pieces. Some reinforcements had arrived.
It appears by accounts from Hos Woos. that the
Spaniards have not interfered with our cutting
subogash fa. Governor BAILOW is arrived.
