DUKE OF CADORE, DATLD PARIS, FEB. 21, 1810.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 18.
. Mr. Jackson and his Lady laft Boston on Tuesday
for New York.

NEW-YORK, JUNE 20.

It is pretty Certain from recent letters received from
the seat. of Goyernment, that there will be no extra call
ofCongrese ; and it iralso certain, that there is no idea
utWashington of another embargo fo- non-intercourse.
The great folks at the Op of our affairs, will not run
the risk of getting to the hotiom by pursuing unpo-
pular motives.

" The Minister Plenip lentiary of the United States
has the honour to submit to his Excellency the Duke
of Cadore the copy of a letter this instant received
from Bayonne, and begs from him an explanation of
. the circumstances mentioned in it. The Ministerial
dispatch, under date of the sth inst. is arrived at St.
Sebastian's, bearing an order for the immediate trans- .
portation in small vessels, of all the sequestrated
American cargoes, to Bayonne, to be pl.tced in the
Custom-house there. This news is public .at St. Se-
bastian's ; but what is not so as yet, is, that the same
order says-Ist. That these cargoes are to he sent to ,
Bayonne, whether the commodities of which they are
composed may have come from English commerce,
or from the produce of the soil of the Uidited States. 2:11y,
That they should be sent to the Custom-houses of that
place to be sold there.
" The Minister Plenipotentiary offers to his Excel. ,
lency the assurances of his high consideration.

" Paris, Feb. 18, rsto.
SM••••I wrote a few lines to you yesterday an-
nouncing the receipt and transmission of a copy of
the Duke of Cadore's note to me of the 14th instant.
After much serious reflection I have thought it best
to forbear all notice at present of the errors, as well
of fact as of argument, which may be found in the
introductory part of that note : to take the Minister
at his word—to enter at once upon the proposed ne-
gociation, and, for this purpose, to offer him a project
for renewing the convention of 1800.
" This mode will have the advantage of trying the
sincerity of the overtures made by him, and perhaps
of drawing from him the precise terms on which his
master will Bccommodate. If these be such as we
ought to accept, we shill have a Treaty, in which
neither our rights nor our wrongs will be forgotten ;
if otherwise, there. will be enough both of time and
Occasion, to do justice to their policy and• our •own,
by a free examination of each. .
" I have the honour to, he, Sir, with very great
respe,ct, your most obedient and very humble servant,

under the auspices of those whom the people have se-
lected as the depositories of their power, cemented by
union and harmony, and with the benignant interpo-
