The Steyr arrived on Monday at istempool, with.
Papers down to Saturday, the
,Lltb of January, and
letters one daytigter. Only one 'ground of differ.
ence subsisted between the Americenr Peep's and
their Government, and that the latter have elost
wisely removed. Before the actual period `for the
operation of the Non•rmportation Ant, many pur-
chases had been leade, and several large contracts
entered into, bona fide for American account. The
imporation of these goods, being British manufacture,
will be permitted under due and satisfactory proofs,
Thos is the whole of the popula.lon of a vast Con-
tinent reconciled to all the acts of their Govern-
ment ; and ate hate the authority of the firs' mercan-
tile characters is this country to add, that accounts
from France POSITITILTItiteI that the Constitution
frigate tee% out to America a defensive Treaty be,
tween that country and France. Wcapprehend that
it is now too late even for the cowardice of the :di-
nistar to avert a war!
