other intruders—and the Continent of Europe
will at length return to that state of repose
from wfiich it was awakened by Engrand...and by
England alone.--England began the war by
breaking the Treaty of Amiens---and she must ter-

and if the final result of all these disasters shall
so terminate...the tears, which the calamities of
war have produced, will be at length wiped away
by the return of PEACE.

A new Decree, dated Paris, the 12th inst. has
madi its appearance in HoUxnd, by which Arne.
rican produce is again admitted into Holland ; but
it cannot pass from thence into France, unless it
be accompsuied by tickets of origin. This is no.

'rho San Falgenzie, of 70 guns, and the Astrea

The Hon. Coeastaxa Jon !latent had proceeded

quantity of speaks which the British Government
had eoutracted far with the Spanish Government.
Letters have been received from Cadiz, of the
20th nit. Through these we learn, that a vessel
