From a F,Hxk,en (K) sapr, Of tie ,di.a,
LoSyGsra. The following very important
Inflammation was obligingly haaded Us this morn-
ing by the Hon. ohm Brown, who arrived
from Warrington city on Toefday evening.
Two days before he left the feat Of government
(Which was on the 4th ult.) difpatches had been
received from Mr.. LivineAon, cur ambairadof
AZ Paris. in which Il is Rated that IN conieqoenco
OF dip!o nstic note prefented 20 him. On the
fubjett OF the late irregular procsedios st New
Orleah', he received srarances, from the French
minifer Of foreiga sfaip. that France wouId
lreipea the rights OF Amcrics--that me had re-
ceiscd Loui6ana from spaia, fabjetl 70 fuch
aipulstons as arc cootained in our treaties, with
that povef--and that fbe wifhrd 20 cultivate,
with the Anesicsns, a fpirit of hsrmony and
good will. The French miniAer further sifnsed
Mr.. Livingaon, that as foon a. the era couiul
arrived i~ho was expected at Paris the next dsyl
an official note containing thele ien,ircnis.
hould be delivered to him 10 forward TO his
government.
No doubt can be entertained Of the sn,ken-
ticiiy OF this intelligence, as Mr.. Brown rcceiv-
ed il /,om ,5e P,shI~f b,syjfjf, and la, aafboy5E
ed 1 10 mSks. IL tsbIe. Mr.. Jcffcrfon further
obierved, that although the rc-eRabl!hmcnt Of
things on their former footing was all we had
right 10 odemand--expcriencc has fhewn il would
NOT be fuficient 70 enforc the protection OF the
~cnern commerce, or 10 refors confidence TO
the minds OF our cisizcns--thc government
would therefore make every cxeriion in its
power to obtain one entire hde of the MiiliGppi.

the sejeant major of each company tb,. y
nages every thing in it. Their pav i Aa'
Try irregular, and their maintenance We,
nalen detestable; with the exception Of s ~

OF the soldiery forces them into scenes y

The cavalry was in great repute du,;,.
the wars OF Spain and Italy. Like The ~
fantry they have degenerated, and are jues
rior to those Of other nations.
The listlessness and ignorance which h..
pervaded their other troops, are visible al,o
in the Spanish corps of artillery and en-.
gineers. Their guns are clumsy, heavy
and badly keptup. The cannoaeers are ca
paole Of ihnprovement-they are possessed
of GOODNESS and frmness.

Ger who claims the rank OF major, obtains
that oflieutenant colonel, because an offci.
Gus clerk at the war Office, after making re.
searches, discovers examples favorable to
those WHOSE interest he wishes to advance.
The Spanish army is capable of being
brought to excellence, sooner and more ca.
silly than many others, because it possesses
in itself courage, nigh points Of honor, and
a spirit of subordination, and frmness in

recently made its appearance, giving an
account of the different armies Of Eu-
rope. 1t is written by an officer on the

abias in favor Of the English, and pre-

is allowed to contain much valuable and

BREMEN, June S,

Il III O'Clock at'mg6t3
g Yesterday evening French general
inferred this city. He immediately waifed
n the chief bu.gomaster, and desired,
khat all English property here, under what
kser denomina ionir might be, should be
y ken possession of: And that all English
tailors at present in this place, as we'll as
! II other persons bslongipg to the English
ktrylee, should be put ui,der arrest. As
leon as this dsnland was made, tie oftl-
Ter who come with IT. went away to &C.
berll Morsier.'
WHAT answer was given to this inso-
bent and audacious request, we are
hct informed---and what number of Eng
|ish person what quality of English pr,
berty, might be at this time IN Bremen,
he cannot pretend TO calculate. But, be
hat as it may, this outrage will not be
confined to British subjects some pre-
Iext will soon be found TO involve the ma.
hives themselves in the conhscarion.
There IS little doubt but the same mea-
Iae viii take place at Hamburg, which
t.y, it was generally thought, would es-
tape the danger that threatened it-but
We are sorry 10. add, that such an expetta-
lion must be disappointed, as the French
troops took possession of it on Sunday
last, the 18th instant.
