STOLEN LETTERS.

L is impoliible to publih the following com.
munlcation, without comment upon the in
famous and djb0a:R tranfaetion which 1t re-
cords. This communication comes TO as
from re!pc Gable, perhaps authentic fource.
Had WilldumeZ'S letters been intercepted on
the high teds, on board of French veIel,
not i doubt can exit that they would have
become EnglIih property by the Laqvs of
eVaT, and might have been dlipoied &C.
cordlDg to the wifhes of the Eugnih a.
geHiS. The 8afi0nal letters thofe ad-
dreiied to the miniHer Of marine and to
General Tuuesu, might have heen feized
examined and publi,hed. The laws of
eiphizea war would have protected the
letter to Con-. Barney from public and
profdne dicoiure.
InHedd of floating on the high feas, they were
dtpohted at Norfolk. Innsad OF beng
captured IN an e1eDly'J bottom, they were
found within the limits, ON the foil and
under the root of neutral country. What
theu is the tact. Not that thefe letters
were intercepted ON the lea but Rlie1
on the land purioined from the box in
which 1t was iaiely iuppoGed they would
be tate their ieas broken, and their con-

Their 1t was not executed by the agents Of
the fame cabinet, which purloined the pa

then returned them to his Bureau.

IMPERIAL DECREE.

Letters have been received az Savannah, by
the ihip Eliza, from Liverpool, TO the sIft OF
Dec. They Rat that premiums of iniurance
on American vefsels 20 and from England had
r'ien from l-2to 8 and 10 per cent.
The Eneliih Channel is fad TO be j4f,jgel by
French priyatesrs.
The following paragraph appears in Paris
print Of Dec. Ia.
:" in execution of the decree which places the
br't'ih lies in Rate of blockade, Barbary vel
lei gong from Morocco to London, with cargo
OF fk'ns, almonds, cocoa, &c. has been detained
by the privateer lie Malouin, capt. Geoffry, who
TENT her to Cherbourg, where fhe entered on
the 9th of this month";"
This is one intance, in which the imperial
decree is interpreted to mean an actual, poftive
blockade. Again we declare, that never was
a more extraordinary and ambiguous itate-psper
putlfhed.

Tic as the admired performer of the arduous character
oil IosNo NoRvAL, is at prefent under the tuition of
DIR. Haler, who is well known to be protector of
lrltrae talents and iearningI hee talents and this
learning, and ali his time, he devotes the honora
bic occupation OF intrucing youth the rate of his
terms of coure high proportion to the fcience
which he communicates TO his pupils. The laif time
DOUGLAS was performed, according to the rules of
the Theatre, there could be po ponement and the
evening being very bad one, the houie was rather
thin; Mr.. Barrett LOFT by that nights performance

iuch deitiny, little Barrett this night throws him.

whh as ardent deiire emulate the deeds of his
aneeitors; and fall with deepelt regret that he is
cut off in the career fgory, he has ever done on
any former oecaioD. His dying ieene is indeed
affecting beyond all powers of defeription". From
Mr. Green's known abilities, it is confidently antici-
