There arc variourßeports in the City, respect.
ing the Put Enemies Message to CONGRESS, and a
great •deal of anxiety is necessarily occasioned'
by . the uncertainty of our commercial con.
nexions with America. Our Readers will see,
in a subsequent column, a communication from
Mr. GALLATIN, to the merchants in America,
on this important subject. That will create
new uneasiness among our merchants and mane.
facturers here. To Ali we are sorry to add,
that authentic intelligence (as we believe) respect.
ing the PRESIDENT'S Message, is in onr posseision.
From our vary valuable Correspondent in Liverpool,
we have by this post received-a letter, which SURES,.
that the Amulet'a ship, the Lasaiiar assivall at Abet

port on Saturday Last, brings the Message, of
which the following is the substance :—The
PREOHANT alludes to the Act passed at the close
of last Session, and speaks of it as hating
induced Franco to repeal her Berlin and Mi.
lan Decrees, which are mentioned as the ONLY
pc,caL►3 affecting neutral commerce ; and then no.

tiers the renewal of commercial intercourse with
Erauce, consequent upon the rescinding of' those
Decroes. He goes on to say, that it might have
been expected, that France would also have made
reparation for American property confiscated ; but
that this expectation had not been fulfilled.
He then proceeds to state, that the British Go.-
vernment hail notified, through the American Nli-
Ritter in London, their willingness to repeat their
boxions Orders, as soon as neuvat commerce
.dittidd he ACTUALLY restored lo its former footing ;
and.that it had been communicated to the English
Government, by the American Government, that
not only the. Orders in Council must be aban-
doned, but that England must ALSO ABAN-
DON the GENERAL and ILLEGIIIKATE BLOCKADES)

enforced by her various Orders in Council. Such
is the substance of.the PRESlDE'sesSit.bsrge ; which,
,coupled with Mr.. Gam.attst's late communication,
is quite disheartening enough for 'our merchants.
My Lord Wtst,t.zst,cy gives
,no answer to the mer.
chants applying to know if Guveromentwill relax
their policy in this matter, and endeavour to conciliate
AXERICA ; and it is said, his Lordship dues not
feel himself competent to gilts any answer, under
present circumstances. We hope this latter part of
the intelligence is true. His Lordship will feel
truly, and constitutionally, if be declines to au.
thorize any act of the Executive Power, under the
present suspension of the REGAL Functions.. :But,
who dares now to say, that no material laconic..
silence has arisen, or arises, from such sospea.
skin, unremetticti Y America is to be lost to
us by the delay, and no material disadvantage
follows I. This reasoning may become my Lord
.Or Mr. PERCEVAL it may become,
but there is not a man of COMMON SENSE in this
country who will not spurn at it, with indignation !

This day arrived three Mails from Anholt, and
two from Heligoland. We have made some ex.
tracts from the Papers brought by them. It ap-
pears, that -the emperor ALEXANDER is raising
160,000 men, expressly to occupy the frontiers of
Poland and Finland ; and it is stated, that a demand
has been made to the Court of St. Petersburg'', to
restore Finland. ALEXANDER might have foreseen
his approachinedangers some time since.

Yesterday Government received dispatches from
Lord Wer.t.tractora, dated' the 17th. instant. No
material change had taken place in the positions of the
two hostile armies. There had been some skirmishing,
Main. FLNWICK, of the Bag,' was killed in one
of these etairs. Ile best the enemy and took fr
them a considerable convoy of cattle, but the Ma.
jar was unfortunately mortally wounded, and seven
men were killed. It is now said, th.►t elle report
of the Attics being distressed for provitions 7,Y the
noti.orrival of supplies. from England, is Brut true.
