TUESDAY, OCTOBER IL.

The St. EIichaels arrived at Baltimore
on Saturday last from L Orient, which she
left the 2hst August, bringing dispatches
both from Mr.. Pinckney and Gen Arm
strong.
The contents will doubtless be made
known to Congress, which is soon to meet,
with any further communication which may
be previously received. In the mean time
there is reason to believe that no final deci-
sion had been expressed by either of the bel
hgerent governments, onthe appeal made by
the president thejustlce policy ofrescind
ing their illegal edicts, under the authority
vested in him by the act of congress, to sus-
pend in whole or in part the embargo laws.
Notwithstanding the manifest interest and
sound policy which plead with France, to
concur in the equitable views of the United
States, her infatuated attachment to the par
ticular system she has adopted against her
enemy discourages reliance, at least ton her
setting the example of changing it.
1t is understood, that appearances were
at first favorable to the expectation that the
British government would yield to the un-
Objectionable arrangement contemplated by
the President of revocation of the orders
of council as they regard the y. States, and
of the embargo as regards Great Britain J;
and that there was moreover disposition
indicated to resume the affair of the Chesa-
peake, with view to some effective step
towards its accommodation, particularly the
restoration Of the seamen still detained In
captivity, to which it was admitted there
could be no reasonable objection. At a lat
Ger date, the apparent disposition to concur
in the contemplated arrangement had under
gone change. Difficulties were started as
unexpected as they were irrelative and In
suspicious. Whether further explanation
and reflection would lead to the result due
to the fair and friendly views of the United
States must soon be known. AS the offer
to remove the embargo as relates to Eng
land on her revoking her orders as they re-
late to the Y. States, leaving the embargo
in force as to France if she adheres to her
illegal DEGREES, takes away absolutely the
sole pretext on which the British orders are
expressly founded, to wit the acquiescence
of the U. States In the French decree and
as her wishes would be gratihed with the
whole of our trade in case France refused
to repeal herdecrees, or a removal of all IL
legal Instructions to a general commerce
would take place, in case France agreed to-
repeal them, England may still be expected

ment of hostilities by the patriots against

We are assured that intelligence was re-

A rumor was also in circulation, that the
alliance between Sweden and England is In
terrupted.
The day before yesterday, the Spanish of
hcers and soldiers at the military depot at
A.tona and the vicinity, took the oath OF
allegiance to their new king, after the new
constitution had been read to them. No
thing was heard but acclamations of long

French general Dupas gave grand enter
tainment to the officers. After dinner the |
health of the new king was drank, and re-
peated several times with unbounded APP
