It is not generally understood that British •essels,
which may enter the ports of the United States after
the Ist 01 December next, from any of the ports in-
cluded in the late Order in Council, will be liable to
be confiscated.

The Act of May the 6th, 1822, gave authority to the I
Presidt nt to open our ports for British vessels from the
colonies on principles of reciprocity; but the 6th Sec-
ti,u of the Act of March the it, 1823. says, " that if at
any time the intercourse between the United States and
any of the above enumerated British Colonial ports
should be prohibited by a British Order in Council
from the time the same shall commence to be in force,"
the Act of the Ist of March, 1823, shall cease to °pea,
rate in their favour, and the Act of the 18th of April,
1.318, shall revive and be in full force.
Toe Act of the 18th of April, 1818, which is thus
virtually revived by the late British Order in Council,
is very positive, declaring " that the ports of the United
States shall be, and remain, closed against every vessel
owned wholly or in part by subjects of his Britannic
Majesty, coming from any port or place in a colony or
territory of his Britannic Majesty that is, or shall be,
by the ordinary laws of navigation, closed against ves-
sels owned by the citizens of the United States." And
furthermore, " that every such British vessel entering one
of our ports, shall, with her tackle, cargo, &c. be for-
feited to the United States."

COPENHAGEN, DECEMBER 16.—The Commercial Ga-
zette states that the ship F.rtuna, of Apenrade, which

the 1101 of June it was taken by force frotu that harbour
by the Brazilian fleet, and carried into Monte Video,
and on the 29th of August, to Rio de Janeiro, to say

A very sanguinary contest took place on Wednesday
oiglir, on the grounds of Mr. Bradshaw, at Worsley,
L ocashire, between some poachers and the game-
keeper and a,sistarits. It seems that the gamekeeper was
on watch along with some other men, and that they
fell in with several poachers, who tirade a desperateae-
sistance to the r flogs which. were made to take them
into custody, during which the gamkeeper was shot in,
the groin, and one of his assistant, was much hurt by
a blow on the head with t. e Out-end of a musket. The
poachers effected their escape, but we understand that
the man who shot at the gall ekeei er is known, and that
an active search is making for hum. The gamekeeper,
whose n.me is Peer Beery. lies dangerously ell.
