ALIEN ENEMIES.

The following is the copy of a Letter received by
a Merchant in the City, from one of his Majnstys
Under-Secretaries of State, in answer to att
cation for a passport in favour of a French super.
cargo; and as we understand that the rule will be
strictly adhered to, we think it right to give the
measure publicity, as it may be the means of pre.
venting personal inconvenience to parties who mpf
feel desirous of visiting this conntry. We feel plea.
sure in so doing, as we are satisfied of the evirji.
envy and propriety of this measure:—
" ws, tr ALL, Nov. 41,
GEN.TISNIEN,—As the French GovernrmA

fuse to permit British merchants and supercargo;, to
land and proceed into the ieterior of France, for t.,
prosecution of commercial objects, I am directed, tv
Lord StnsgoCTll, to apprise you, that it has li,vo
dunned expedient to place French merchants and ss.
percargoes under similar prohibition; and I am to
express to you his Lordship's regret, that, under this
decision, he cannot comply with year regiteit ;i1 Mr.

the late Election at Cork. For Mr. MITCHUM;
though his seat has been suspended, by the question-.
able conduct of the poll, enjoyed alone all the popular
triumph of the day : and while his opponent disap.
ip,ared unattended, but by his Counsel and his clerks,
Mr. HUTCIUSSON, in spite of all his endeavours to
the contrary, was taken from the hustings by the
citizens, and as if anticipating the events of the Pe.
tition, he was CHAIRED through the city with ex.;
traordinary eclat ! Nay, more! The chief people of
the city, Messrs. LUSLIES, LUMLEY, TRAVIRS, C.

specific purpose of paging all the expellees of Mr. H.

logy. Our narrative was that of a person, who garrit
•anitet fabdles ; hut in the substance and genuine
merits of the case, we repeat ow entire belief of the
truth of our statement. We believe, for instates,
that Lord MthitA. never saw or heard from any of
the Ministers on the subject of his appoiutment, uu.
til it was a fixed and settled thing; that they not
only did not suggest it, but objected very strenu•
ously aglinst its taking place ; in short, that it was
, the spontaneous act of a High Personage alone,
without nuy previous communication to or from hit
• official advisers. if we are misinformed on these
points, it will be easy enough for our censor to set
us right. He has only to state to whom, by name,
his Lordship considers himself as obliged in this
transaction ; what overtures were made to him by
any of the Ministers ; and at what time, and whe.

such a favour at their hands alone, oa any consider.
