These imposts are to be exacted, not according
, to the ievoiee price, but agreeably with the rate of
merebandize at Paris ; or, in th►► technical phrase,
(avatars"; in the capital of the country into which
they are introduced. Letters from Paris (brought
by the same conveyance), which are to the date of
the 9th insta►tt, state, that this Decree, ►ruder the
constr►►ctiun it has received, is retrospective in its
operation ; and that on the obedience of the pro-
prietors to its conditiuns, the sequestration of all
American ships and cargoes is to be taken oft It
had been practically acted upon in the ports of St. ,
Sebastian and Butardeaus, "where the confiscation
of American
.vessels had been superseded. It is
also stated, that a ship from the United States,
laden with cotton, had entered the latter port,
and had been permitted 19 discharge her cargo,
on cot►fprming to the requisitions of the new tarif.
A letter from Paris, of the 7th instant, afterspeak.
ing of this Decree, goes on to say, that the opera-
tion of the celebrated Berlin and Milan Decrees
would cease on the Ist of October. A kiln from
Antwerp, on the contrary, nye, that event will
not take place till the lst of November. Thereat°
other letters, which make nut the smallest allusion
to the rescinding of the Berlin and Milan Decrees.
'this includes the whole of what we have been able
to gather respecting this ezttaurdivary event.—

Some persons have demisted the sethaatiaity
of this account ; but we believe the Decree
to ho geonine.---It is certainly ailed, upon
herr. And, although our modern mcrchsnts are
too easily led into enterprise, (owi to the general
stagnation of regular trade) yet, t e lessons they
or,i,
have fur a long time been receiving a should sup.
pose would bcitet some caution. Sugar, we ander-
' stand. rose yesterday 10 per cent., and other cola.
Dial produce la proportion, in consequence of the
toy large purchases made in thin articles, by
!louses that bare been in the habit of trading to
the Cuotinent.—'fbere is, unquestionably, some-
thing ia this new policy of the French Emmen,
that at Inc sight strikes the NNW with extreme
surprite. At the very moment wise* he had
our Commerce paper at his feet. to relieve
it in any degree from the pressure of his former
policy, is indeed astonishing. When we look
nearer, however, we may End some of tho mu.
tires, at least, which have inftuenced him in
the present measure. This Decree involves fin.
MOOe advantages to NAPQLI,II ; and, woeful as WI
passions are to others, he knows bow to subdue them
to his own interests. lie hos done enough for the
final destroetion .ad Winglisb commerce, to permit

little longer Ilate. Ile knows that my Lord WEE.
LOLA/ and Mr. PeeceVAL, and Mr. Fiona, can du
enough fur him, through their iguoranc,eand mem
ranee in wrong, without his immediately elt euding,fis
a while, to his direct schemes for our ruin. Ile has
come to a kind of pause in his own altaies, which.
calls for ens of those master-strokes of his policy
which beats down all before it. Holland is to be
conciliated. He has no aujmosity against Holland
as be has againit Spain, and Holland is of more
importance io him In his wider views than all his
ether acquisitions. If be can consolidate that
country pith France, In any thing like con.
corrence of feeling and objects, be hes dune
more for himself, and more against England, than if
be had annexed all Germany to his Empire. lk
knows the way to the Hollander's heart, and as he
wishes to do so, he mil/ win was not wil.
ling, moreover, that England should tiud a ready
market its America, and this very Decree may shut
us front those :hum. To deprive as of America,
is, to him, nest to his winning Holland. In those
two objects, therefore, there is motive enough for
his Decree. But, there aro others, working with
them. The moment he saw he could conciliate
the French Nation, without absolutely letting go of
his held open England, he would not fail to
do au; and he will bo as proud to raise up
the Commerce of France, as he has been iu
bumbling ours. But it is not France only,
but the whole Continent he now gratifies, with ap.
parent'grasiousticss. Lo a word, be gains almost
every thing, and loses scarcely any thing, by this
sompected, this sudden masters of himself.—
.England might still be saved, if some here would
adopt that greatest of all dominations, the subjec.
'too end leadery of self !

BY a letter from an .ofieer In the late hine feet
we learn, th* the piracies'committed by th Lad rents
es the coast of •China, which .110100 rear ago were
very incousiderai(le, have new become, seriously
alarming to the Chinese Government. Some years
ago they were trifling in their eumberend power, but
there are now near 2000 vessels firiM:the Ladrone
Islands, solely employed in acts of p)rikey on these
coasts, and up the rivers, ea which racy commit
every species of depredation, plundering andireival
ins vithiges. The force of these vessels is fro*
twenty to thirty guns, and some of them with beey
tween two and 300 men. They sail in fleets of all
hundred, and sometimes of several hundred salt,
and there is nothing in the feeble Government of
China to resist their attacks. They have era
threatened to pay a visit to Canton. It is this whisk
calls for the attention cf the British Governitent ;
for an attack on a place in which there is deposited
so much English property, and for which, slur's*,
the absence of our Indiums, there would be 14 i
adequate defence. The menaces of this most (4.
midablo and dreaded enemy may alio bring thi Chi..
nose Government to a sense of the otoligations they
may owe to Great Britain.
