In your paper of yeRerdsy morning you have un-

paragraph
4" The paHengers on board the flip Ambition late
~ arrived from Cherburg, are not little iurpred to

zette as having reported fome news from France.
They allure the public that they never had any
conversation upon the politics of France, either on
board or after their arrival in this city,
1t is neceilary for ME here fate, and which can
prove, that the death of Chappe and the Imperial de-
cree declaring the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte

fbe Pangeyy in The d16ition for publication. What fol-
France, had verbally from one of them, which was
declared to in the prelence of Captain Skinner on
board the Ambition. Yours, &c.
