A morning paper of this day Rates, that a on Mon-
day laf letters from Hamburgh and Bremen, dated
the 19th ult. were received in Hull, by fever .1 refpea-
able houfes, Rating the arrival there of the Joleph,
Beata, Lauda, and
_loose Margaretta, from that
port, without any other interruption by the French
than till they paid the duty at Stark, which formerly
was received by the Eleaor of Hanover. Thefe
letters further Rated, that the inhabitants of there
torts were allured that their neutrality would be
obferved ; and that Englifh goods in neutral
wails would be allowed to enter as afual. In con-
fequence of this afforancei neutral velfels began load-
ing here on Wednefday, for Hamburgh and Bremen,
and the demand for colonial produce confequently
greatly hxreafed.—Other letters which have fince
been received, dated the aI R ult. corroborated the
Ratement above given."—We have no doubt of this
intelligence being correa—but for this very reafon it
is the more neceltsry we fbould caution our Com-
mercial Readers not to be milled by overlooking
another circumßance• namely, that on the aoth the
French Government ilfued the decree (given in the
STAR of the aBth ult.) prohibiting the importation
of Delta commodities direffly or indirealy a into the
ports of the Republic." This decree could not be
known at Branco or Hamburgh at the date of the
above letters, and therefore it is impoffible to infer, as
yet, what coaßruaion will be put epee the words—
" Potts of the Republic."
