one man witb ha: access to you, can tetl.yoe this ?
or, have you been told, and cuuld nut comprehend
it ? How is all this ! Come, and tell your
ivijured Country fume, ina be honest, and
the may forgive you ; put you right, and suffer
you to remain where you are ! Why ! Be
honest, and you may remain. Nobody loves those
wits() want to succeed you in power. Nothing but
hatred of you can make- any man wish to accept of
them! If you will not conciliate America, for ith
own proper object, be friends with her—to
.win
England! If you will eat do justice to Irish
claims, because of their own proper merits, do so
to gain England !—But if you will not do these
things from some motive, then England must go to
the Throne, to remove you, and that with a voice
the Throne will nut reject if it could, and cannot

We arc assured, that when the French Officer
from the shore visited the Flag of Truce, and
learned that. Mr. POWELL) the American Secretary of
Legation, was on board, and was the bearer of dis-
patches from Mr. Pummel. to Gen. AitusTaomo,
he observed, that he had orders not to suffer any Flag
of Truce to enter the port of Calais, unless she
came with a Messenger or dispatches from his BRI-
TANNIC MAJESTY. May it not be conjectured, from
this remark, that there was an expectation at Calais
of a Flag of Truco from our Government,and that a
most e
respectful
attention had been directed to b
paid to the communication ?

Our Readers will be shocked to find what the de.
t.til of th. loss is, in the affair of the attack made
by the Dreadnought's boats, the other day-1
Master's Mate, 2 Midshipmen, and 12 seamen and
marines, killed : 2 Lieutenants, 2 Midshipmen, and
26 seamen and marines, wounded ! We shall never
cease to reprobate such wanton waste of the blood
of our brave seamen and marines I

We have seen another letter from an 'Officer who
was in Gen. CnAuvutto's action, which states—
that the affair was truly disastrous; and that the
division was near being wholly lost. Gen. CRAU-

for this

The following private letter from Portugal, of a
later date, by fire days, than the advice. by' the
I,ishon Mail, is in town. It is of considerable im-
portance, as indicating a state of affairs at the
mouth of the Douro, very different from what has

been represented :-.-
" OPOItTO, SEPT. I.
" I am sorry to say, that there have hem) some. disturtauices
in this City, in consequence of the posting of several lihelt
wino persons in various depart inents of the State, W Bich has
occasioned the arrest of same individuals, wan are said. to have
o.rretanottenee with the french. In abort, I am afraid that all
our endeavours, jointly is ith uur allies, it ill not prevent the
enemy from invading us.
" A Spanish Captain has just made his appearance in oar
town. Ile sass he comes to join tlie.deserters, who are en-
listing, themselves to serve In the Spanish army ; but from all
appearances, and judging by the company he frequents, we
have ai doubt tkat lie is a partizan of the !reach, aid. there

" Ilte Count de BA FiLitiq AON is MUIV at Lisbon, and it is
reported that be is about to embark fur the Brazils. This.
Nobleman was formerly known to be an i.:titnate friend of
Mars:ial hottur ; and it is imagined that the rumour of his go-
ing to the Brazils is merely a cloak In cover his future opera-
tions, us he has not told any part of his estates or property in.,
this town.

" Tne French are in great force in the environs, of Ciudad
Rodrigo, and we are much afraid that they It ill soon pay us.n
visit. We are in utter ignorance of the operations of Juaois
tinny, whith has entered Tra Los Atones."

We have undoubted authority to state, that if a,
person sends a thousand guineas to llamburgh, he
buys with it a Bill of Exchange upon England for
12001. That constitutes the' profit of export,
thpngh gold is the same priee at ll►mburgh as at
London. Why is this sn > Because the person
buying this Bill can get nothing fur it here but
Bank-notes, which 11001. of notes he must give if
he wants to get his 1000 guineas back again. And
what do.•s this s!cew but a depreciation of BANK.
NOTES ? it is true, indeed, the buyer of the Bit
of Exchange upon England, may pnrchase English
goods with it, but thus he can carry them to no
profitable may kat on earth.

We have copied CORBETT'S Third Letter en

We have said that the contraction of paper is
already beginning to be felt—for we observe that it
brings the guineas back into circuldtion. A Coun-
try Banker requested a friend of ours to take charge
of a box of guineas from his shorn) Sussex, to his
Banker's in town, because he had received of late
double the quantity that he wanted, and that he
usually kept.
Several of the Officers who were badly wounded
in the action of the 24th of July, on the frontiers
of Portugal, arc, it is said, to come to England,
and officers to go out from their second battalion.,
to supply their places until they are fit for duty
again.

The Masters of the American vessels at Christian.
sand, in Norway, have published the following an.
serer to the reasons given by the Danish Prize
Court for condemning the llannah) of Boston) as
we stated in a former Paper:— •

" We, the undersigned Mastersof American ve:sels, now in
the part of Christiathand, having heard with astonishment that
some of tile principal charges brought against the American

out the aid of a se %taut.

" We therefore feel fully authorised to assert, that we have
frequently made vottges from America to Europe without ei.
