From what l could recolleCt, / nave
been strengthened in the opinion which |
communicated to you in my last, that Mr..
FoX's note of the 10TH was drawn wirh a
view to a principal question with the United
States, mean that of the trade with enc
mies colonies. 1t embraces, it is true, other
objects, particularly the commerce. with
Prussia, and the north generally, whose
ports 1t opens to neutral powers, under
whose flag, British manufactures will find a
market there. In tins particular especially.
the measure promises to be highly satisfacto-
~ to the commercial interest, & it NAV have
been the primary object of the government
You Will observe that have not consider
ed the note as reply to mine, or as being
any way connected with them. Ii was not
communicated to me as such, and it was e.
Violently improper for me to consider it in
that light. In directing the publication of
az, l nave expressed no sentiment on the con-
tents, but lett them to the criticism of the
pubic.
With respect to the delay to which am
exposed, it is utterly out of my power to ex-
plain toyou the cause. have no reason to
Change the opinion, which have heretofore
expressed OF Mr.. Fox's disposition on the
subject, though have had no late commu-
IS
untavorable, but it may be otherwise account
cd TOR, and on principles which are quite
natural and therefore presumable. He NAV
have experienced more difficulties in the
Cabinet than he had expected Many of the
members may be indsposed to an arrange
1nent on such terms as can be accepted, and
most of them willing to postpone any decisi-
on, until the result ofthe proceedings in Con-
gress is known. Under these circumstances
he may find it most eligible to avoid any
further communication with me for the pre-
sent.
1t becomes therefore very difficult, mot
altogether improper, for me to press the bu-
siness at this time. 1t seems to be my duty
to postpone such pressure TO the same epoch,
that is, till the final proceedings of congress
are known. | shall doubtless receive with
them the Instructions of the President on the
whole subject, which beg 70 assure YOU,
shall use my utmost c~ertions to carry into
effect

thorlsed a loan to be made to the amount of
100000 dollars, in sums to individuals. not
exceeding 100 dollars each. The loans are
to be general, and to extend to every county
to be secured by mortgage on real estate

DOWNING STREET., Nav is, 1906.
Fhe Undersigned, his majesty's princi-
pal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has
received his majesty's commands to &C
quaint Mr. Monroe, that the, king taking into
consideration the new and extraordinary
means resorted toby the enemy for the pur-
pose of distressing the commerce of his sub
jects, has thought fit to direct that the neces-
ace OF the coast, rivers and ports, from the
river Elbe to the port of Brcst, both inclu-
sive; and the said coast, rivers and ports
are and must be considered as bockaded !;
but that his majesty is pleased to declare,
that such blockade shall not extend to pre-
vent neutral SHIPS and vessels, laden with
goods not being the property of his majesty s
enemies, and not being contraband of war,
from approaching the said coasts, and en-
entering into and sailing from the said ri
Ters and ports, (save and except the coast,
rivers and ports from Ostend to the river
Seine, already in state of strict and rigor-
GUS blockade, and which are to be consider
ed as so continued) provided the said ships
and vessels so approaching and entering lex
cept as aforesaid) shall not have been laden
at any port belonging to or in the possession
OF any of his majestys enemies, and that the
said ships and vessels so sailing from the
said rivers and ports Except as aforesaidl
shall not be destined to any port belonging
to or in the possession of any of his majesty's
enemies, nor have previously broken the
blockade.
Mr.. Monroe is therefore requested to ap-
prize the American consuis and merchants
residing in England, that the coasts, rivers
and ports aforementioned, must be consi-
dered as being in a state of blockade, and
thatfrom this time all the measures author
isedby the law of nations, and the respec-
tive treaties between his majesty and the
different neutral powers, will be adopted and
executed with respect to vessels attempting
to violate the said blockade after this notice.
The undersigned requests Mr.. Monroe to
accept the assurances of his high considera-
ton.

The exaction of 154, 900 rails destined for
Madrid by order of the tyrant Murat, has
been prohibited, and for greater security a
formidable guard is placed over the trea-
sury. 1t is said the French intend making
movement with part of the army from Ma
drid, but who can believe they will be SO i'm
prudent? Where can these miserable Deo-
pie go without being routed. The people of
Madrid will not lose a moment in throwing
OF the yoke, in spite of number of vile "a
duators who are attached to the court and
ministry.
after the ceremony of swearing allegiance
to Ferdinand 9TH, at Grenada, 200 persons
repaired to San Geronimo to celebrate the
event. On :heir receiving the inform alton
OF the arrival there of the governor of Ma
laga, they Immediately seized him, and pla-
ced respectable guard over him to prevent
any outrage to his person. AS this visit was
suspicious, at the petition of the people, the
mail was examined and two letters were
found from Napoleon and Murat to this
wretch, naming him general of the four king
doms OF Andaiusia, and giving him hopes Of
speedy assistance Of fifty thousand men,
which were to be added TO those already en-
ployed i'll the subjugation of Spain Hardly
were the people informed of this iniquity,
when they rushed upon him & murdered him
with every kind of arms, dragged him thro'
the city, & after tearing him in pieces, burnt
him to ashes. The magistrates have condem-
ned this conduct fthe people, and are taking
measures to prevent such atrocities in fu-
ture.
