was saved from a Spanish vessel bound from Ba-

repugnant to the principles and practice of the
French Government, all the papers is the employ

our Executive have had the effrontery to diem

grant a special permission to the Avon to make
entry and land the treasure of which she had taken
charge. After such gross contumely, the &emu

pared for every kind of abuse and insult from the
French Papers, which they have been in the ha.

LONDON:
WEDNESA3y, AUGUST 8, 1810.

A coseurattow of Merchants waited yesterday
•e the Board of Trade. Their object was to
ascertain the intentions of Government on the sub.
ject of reciprocal intercourse with France, so fre-
quently demanded of late ; and which, it has been
represented, would prove highly beneficial to
Great Britain. 'Licences for the importation of
mines and brandies hare hitherto been refused ;
but the Board signified yesterday, that if France
would consent to take one-third of the tannage
6f any vessel bound to her ports from England,
in colonial geodes British mannfaetures, and
NO India piece goods, Government would
consent that one-third of tire cargoes of vessel,
bound to the ports of Greet Britain from France
showid consist of wines, wheat, &c. to the utter
exclusion of brandies. Tie Deputation was given
to understand, that no direct proposition would
be made to France by Ciornenment on this sub,
ject, but that they would sanction the operations
of merchants having obtained the approbation of
France. it is reported that the Fat'scu La-
nnon has, through the Commercial Board,, at
raris, communicated to oar Government the terms
an which he will permit a reciprocal trade between
the two *Antrim, to which an answer of a cond.

expenditure of these niters, is more than the
whole amount of the Reruns Committee's saving !
—God use us froth such Reformers!

IN General SAARAZIN'i reply to the FRENCH
Emeseon, there is much internal evidence of the
truth of its several accusations against NAPOLEON.
There isalso that kind of proof, which arises from
the affinity of the charges with the character of the

racier, although sometimes ieceassfally preserved
in a romance, is very seldom to be found in a fic.
tion assumieg to be mere matter of fact. We are,
therefore, compelled to give a considerable credence
to GENERAL SA RRAZIN'S statements; and we shall
be extremely glad if they have the erect of adding
many and many to the number of Englishmen
who hate the character of the French Tyrant.
