Or afai,s Nth England,


Great complaints have been made ard
with great justice, OF the inscrusible secrecy
of the government ia regard 70 our relati.
ons with Great Britain. Notwithstanding
the millions of properly a. hazard and not
wiihstanding the pegplexing embarrass
ments which necessarily result from the
present equiyoCal state O! things, by which
every one is deferred from entering into
any excessive commercial specnlations, the
merchants have DOT been able to obtain so
much as hint from the governments as
TO the probable resul. of the pending neo
20 cia,ions, nor any insimasion Of the
course of conduct which ;sNwopld be pru.
dent for them to adopt. This system OF
secrecy, however is not without exceptions
Though no Information is given to those
most deeply interested in receiving it.
To those whom the president LOVES
he communicates. Within the present
month Of Oc,ober he has written 70 TIL O. (,
MAS PAINE at NJ. York. that nothing
decisive has occurred on the subject of,our
affairs with England ;-bus that all little
Circumstances which have come TO the
knowledge of the government were anfG-
yorable to their wishes for peace
Cur readers may rely on the authenticity
Of THE statement Il comes 20 as through
such channel that We canpotbe deceived
and we challenge contradiction.

An occurrence Of yeferday has
excited fome interct, ariGng from
the recollection Of a recent circum-
tonce we ihail state to our readers
the particulars Of the occurrence of
yeitcrday, as they have been related
to us, and as we believe to be cor
rect,
II French seaman, belonging 70 the
French flip L'Embeteux, the ship
that was detroyed by the Britifh on
this coat, had Tome time Gnce en-
tered az Baltimore on board one Of
the Gun-0oat8 IN tie fervice Of the
United States. Yesterday he defer
ted and got On board the tender Of
the French ship IPariot declaring
his with To return into the service of
his c0ur ry. The officer command
ing the gun boat dilcorered, and &C.
manded the leamaa, when the French
officer retutcd 10 deliver him. Some
dilcuGion was had, when the Amer
lean officer departed, under an ex-
pectauon, or promfe thar the man
should not be removed until me af-
fair could be represented 70 Commo-
dore Decatur. While the officer
was on board the ChefaPeake waiting
she orders Of commodore Decatur,
and for letter which he was then
writing 70 the French commodore,
the Patriots boat pahed WITH the
feaman in queaion on board, upon
which orders were iflued by the
commod re, to mao one Of the Chef
apeake's boots and purfue the Fl ench
boat, with orders T. his CihCer TO
endeavour to prevail on the French
office, to return and come along6de
the Chelapeake, bu. TO bring the de-
ferter back Al all events Upon the
boats getting alongGde fome alterca-
ton enluGd, partly, we underltand,
by accident, and without deGgn to
iniure or offend.
The French officer, we under
fand agreed to return to the Chefa-
peake. Afterwar fome correspon
dence took place between Commo-
dor Decatur and he commander Of
the Patriot, the contents Of which
we are not informed Of. We un-
derfand that both officers adhered,
the one in refuGng, and the other in
fitting, the re!slt however is, that
the man was taken and carried on
board the Chelapeak where he now
remains until the Plcafure ofg vern-
ment ihall be known.
Such is a concile fate Of facts, as
they relate to this unpieafant buff
nefs, on which we mean to offer no
remarks, except 70 repeat what we
have done upon another occafon,
that the emplo yment Of foreign fca-
men, particularly deferters, will gen
orally Be productive Of mitchell; and
it IS to be lamented that the officers
commanding, are not inyeted by
government with pawer to act accor-
ding to the juitice of the cafe when
they are iatlShed,
