The Inconvenience which the cntn.

Ties are deemed neither few nor small,
We are excluded, for example, from
the largest part of the daminions of fn.

any Of our ports. We are subject in their
Colonies, 10 an alien tag, in eHeEi,s for sci.

OF all It's natural productions and manulac.
'u'ed commodities and all other goods,

purchased territories and colonial settle.
mcn;s; though at the same time, we are
excluded from the equal carriage Of our

Dalmatia by the last accounts the
French were making great progress In
Daimatia. And such has been the event Of
French conquests, that important chang,
es are expected from the entrance of this
euserprising people upon the northern por.
eion of ancient Greece. Of the condition
OF the whole. country the accounts are vari.
Gus, and the information very uncertain.
Some travellers give very distressing pic
ture, while others distinguish the invaders,
from the ancient inhabitants OF the country.
Should the Turks be disposed to rstre to
their native Asia, for which they still ex-
press fond partially, the Greeks may vet
be a nation. The condition of Dalmatia,
is not the most happy in the present dlvi-
sious OF the country. 1t became subject to
the Romans before the christian era, but
never enjoyed serious quiet till the times
of Augustus. During the inroads of the
northern nations it was exposed to every
evil, and tho conquered by Justiuian, i.
maintained afterwards an independence OF
the Roman empire, till by inheritance it
fell to the kingdom of Hungary. The We

To my great regret cannot permit my.
self TO enter into the details which l had
promised you respecting the CELEBRITY of
our operations, on account of the rapidity
Of the events which hurry Us on; and the
favourable opportunity which requires
hasteto take advantage Of the terror which
successes impfess. Let it suffice TO you
for the moment, to know that the island OF
Santa Margarett, Barcelona, and Cumana
are in our possession, and that at the mo-
ment in which ana writing tc you, the ar.

barbarry of the Spaniards has .rayished

bered by you. His first aide.de.camp,
whom you we'll know, joins with his com.
mander and myself 10 wishing you every
kind of prosperity.
We request you instantly to communi
cate our progress to his majesty the EN-.

20 give him will be dated from Caracas.
Forget us not, my dear friend, and be-
