The following is said to be the substance Of
the anonymous communication, addressed to
CONGRESS-, Oh the seventeenth instant, by Z
writer who protested himself to be a ioreigii-
or, and desired his communication might BE
read with closed doors;
" That the United States were in great dan
ger from France and Spain, that Bonapalte
would invade us as soon as he was at liberty
in Europe, that he kept many spies III the
country, some Of which the writer was ac-
quainted with. The writer urged tie neces-
sity OF providing speedily f.r the etfectual de-
fence OF the United States, and recommend
ed, that, as we have no generals OF our own,
Moreau should be placed at the head OF an
army. He stated that many French officers
were disguised with the emperor, and would
willingly engage in our service. The writer
promised that his next communication should
be from Bordeaux"
The following cases were adJudged in the
Fnglish court of admiralty during the month

Lima, Esd September, 1906:
/" Yesterday arrived here an express,
which lief, Areguipa on the 18Th inst. with
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser., 1806-10-06

leyi nd, and demanded in an inter
! lew. The French Miniiter for
foreign affairs, under the pretext Of
the preauie Of buGnefs declined fee
ing bis lordfhip until the Saturday
or Sunday following. Another re-
port which was circulated yel;erday
but which we have reafon to believe
is wholly unfounded, was that Lord
Lauderdale, finding thar there was
no probability of fucceeding in the
Negotiation, had before BaliIico left
Paris, demanded his Pahports and
finally it was faid, that treaty Of
alliance, offeniiye and defenfive, had
been concluded between France and
Ruilia, and that thew were to act VII
gorouhy together againif Great Bril-
tain, if the latter did not content to
d peace with France, Such were
the reports circulated yeferday with
great confidence. The effect they
produced we have already ltated.
When we received the intelligence
of the conclulon of a feparate peace
between France and Ruliia, we ex-
prehed our opinion, that it would
produce a material change in the
tone ofFrance TO this country, That
change has we underfand, taken
place and although We do not take
upon ourfelves to fay that there is no
probability of peace, we have reafon
10 believe that it is comfortably d.
minifhed.
The dispatches which were yef-
terday tent off to. Lord Lauderdale
were, we have DO doubt, OF. a deci-
FIVE nature it is therefore likely that
the negotiation will be brought to
Deceive iilue, one way Or the other,
in a very ihort time. With refpea
to the report of an Alliance, often
five and deleniiye, between RuiIia
and France, we are not ,difpoied to
attach any credit to it. The arrival,
however, Of Lord @. L. Cover, our
late Ambahador at St. Peterfburgh,
in England, before his fuccehor, the
Marquis of Douglas, had left this
Country, probably tended to induce
many pertons to believe the report.
