POSTSCRIPT

ADVERTISER is indebted for Bristol pa
pers to the 18th OF October, Liverpool pa
perS to the lSt, London papers, to the 5O,h
OF September, and 4 number of valuable
DidF.ne articles.
Captain Doane informs US, that he left
London on the Cd October, at which time
the United States schooner Revenge had
arrived at Portsmouth from Falmouth, to
take on board Mr.. MONROE, who was ex-
Pectcd there in a few DAYS, and whose bag
gage had been packed up a week before.
IL WAS rn'Ncrrd, captain ID. adds, that the
f1yAt 81 search, rs 1t was called, would not
b" reiiIqulshed by the 3riIjsi government,
either as 1t respected ;nerchan. vessels or
ships Of war; and that ;hc prospect Of an
accommodation between Great Britain and
tac United States was gloomy. The for
MGR bad issued orders to de,ain all Ameri-
can vessels bound 60 or from the ports OF an
enemy; and had raised the blockade OF the
Fms, Weser, and Elbe, about the Goth of
Septc Mbcr He states, also, that the ex-
petition 20 Madeira had not sailed, but
was rcndeAvoused off Cork and that anu-
ther expedition, TO consist of 10000 troops,
was fitting out, destined Gas supposedly for
South America.
The latter conjecture is in a great mea-
sure confirmed b. an article in the London
Star OF thu 2Sth of September, which noti-
ces the meeting OF cabinet cCuncil on the
Friday pre- ocding, which continued in Close
elaboration until three O'Clock in the
morning. The proceedings had been con-
cc;iled with great care bur it was ru:nor-
Cd, that, among other measures decided
upon, was the recapture oF Buenos- hvres,
as Indispensable requisite to wipe OF the
stigma brought upon the British arms bv
the surrender and evacuation Of their con.
quest N ,hat quarter. For this purpose
the expedition mentioned By captain Doare
was tti'nts out, that the conquest might no:
be attended with proCrastnation One
great Cause of the slowness vt lhcir military
operations hitherto is said tn be the rith-
meucal nicely with which the force mas been
Cd c'lia:;ed for The accomplishment If the
jntendsti n:ieCt--nct allowing Il single man
more tHin was Thought iudispeEs bly, ne
cesSdry This SYSTEM, ia the present iu-
stance, is TO be abandoned; and the gov
eminent is encouraged to adopt vigorous
operations from the success which has at
tended their operations before COpenia-

writes 10 Captain Stevens, under date of
Assn September "alihough NJ, Monros's
departure for Americ., may look like nos
= . T.
ncy VIII act liz his stead learn tIIat this
g"ferwneHt have determined to search all
neutral ships ior British seamen and It is
said proclamation will be issued in 4 day
or two to that effect" This proclamation,
however, had not appeared OIL the SOih.
We collect from our London and Bristol
papers that the DuIch government have
jaserilicted all intercourse with England.
Regulations are drawn up with that seve-
rIty and strictness which characterize eve
~ proceeding dictated under the influence
OF the Emperor Napo.con in matters rcla-
tive 70 Hrl.ah commerce. The design OF
the Emperor is to exclude England entire
~ iTam the continent If Europe and no
ch."c" appears 10 BE- ief: her ;.ut to iIeht
HIM wNh his own weapons, and DESTROY a
once eytry "cssige of q system ofneutraiitY,
and this 1t Is understood IS the dcterm ma
tiDn OF the English government.
g We arc Informed" Saws tn. Star Of the
18th, sand we believe our information is
correct that our government has resolved
70 rets!latc Gu France by u pr clamation,
eE ctly OIL the mo.ici OF the french decree
oY Ghck1,,e. Not only tine coasts %! France
a1d lrGy, but OF every tcropcan Stale NJ
der the Influence and coniroul of Napoleon
'--as also all foreign dependencies 80 cir
cumSel1ced, will be declared in state of
blockade, y all vessels going 10 or coming
from my OF them, Will De declared legal
prizes.
"rhs will tell at once the clamors of A.
the rnericans rcspectinglhrir right to tr;ldr
with thc French misunderstanding or pre-
tending TO carry their produce TO an AmerI-
can pur,, and afterwards 10 re-ship the.
Same for Bordeaux and other Preach
ports.
- We understand that the definilive an
swcr given by Minister'S u Mr. Monroe
(whohas net yet taken MS departure,) was
exactly conformabic to the primo pies that
ave about IS he ahop;ed. Mr.. Monroe, il
seems, was instructed to declare, that
should the British government refuse 10
colcede the points demanded by America,
tho Non Importation Act would lmmedi-
ateiy DC enforced. The reply was, 81 am
commanded by his Majety 10 inform YOU
that the issue of such AN order by the n ne.
Tican government will be considered and
held as declaration Of var"
" ON tive prints respecting the right ot
search, MIR. Mcaroc was informed, that
this country will maintain lis rights not on
~ respecting goods but seAmen--not even
excepting American SLIPS OF war"
"lt appears that by the occupation Of Tea
land, tue British forces nave anticipated tho
measures of Bondpirte, with respect 20 thar
island. The KHghauscn ship Minerva.
Euhier, master, has arrived az Shcrress
from Bordeaux, from whence she sailed Il
