II From London haher Of My 49,.
The report which was spread yesterday of
an order which it was pretended had been gi-
ven by the admiralty to seize all the American
vessels which were in our ports, was without
foundation. But We believe that Instructions
have been given TO our cruisers to detain here
after SUCH American vessels as shall notb be
destined for England, or for the ports ofwhich
the British government has net expressly ina
terdicted, the entry to their vessels by these
Instructions.
Further, the government of the u. States
appear to yield at this moment and to shew a.
micable rather than hostile dispositions. Pre-
sideAt Jefferson has lately issued procIaina-
ton, prolonging the importation. Of British
goods, to the second Monday In December
next. The treaty concluded between Great
Britain and the United States, has been sent
back by the American government, to 30 re-
yised, and submitted to new discussion and
there is great appearance, that the difficulties
will De alnieably adjusted between the two ma
TORS.
