Arrived fhip America, Lehor, from
Amiterdam. She failed on the 18th
Of Auguft, by permiiIion Of the
Dutch government, with Mr.. Baker,
charged with dispatches from Gen.
Armfrong, our Miniaer at Paris,
who had made repeated applications
for a veflel TO fail from France with
out effect. 1t will be recolleded that
this gentleman was the mehenger
from our government to France by
the St. Michaels. Nothing has tran
fPired refpeding the nature Of thefe
dilpatches but capt. Lehor, and his
pafepgers give no information that
would induce belief Of any favora-
bic change on the part Of France to-
wards this country. On the contra
ry, they fate, that previous to their
leaving Amaerdam, advices had been
received of 70 American veffcls be-
ing condemned at Paris, under the
decree Of the aft Of Novennbcr,
1906.
Mr.. Baker landed at New-Caftle,
and Immediately proceeded to Walh-
ington with the difpatches.
