FROM EUROPE.
Monday, Hly II, 1903.

The last accounts from Europe inform,
that Mr.. Nourse twhose arrival in England
was mentioned III cur last) the bearer Of
dispatches to our Minister, Mr.. PInckney,
at the Court Of ST. James, has left London,
on his return 10 the United States. 1t APP
pears by the latest intelligence, that affairs
between this country and Great Britain re-
NAMED much the same Accounts from
Holland state, that on the 18th Of April,
Bonaparte issued another decree against
American commerce, which goes to make
AZ oty resse5s legal subjects Of capture which
are found at sea, subsequent 70 that date.
We hsve little or no doubt Of the correct
ness of this intelligence.
After the commission of so many insults
and aggressions as have been committed Oh
the citizens and property of the u States,
and which we are doomed to suffer, ewing
to the defcnceless and unprotected situation
Of our commerce, is it not matter OF aston
ishment, that there should be q single adj
vocate for that policy which suffers it to
continue Yet there are many so blinded
BY party views and party prejudices, that
they still continue jealous supporters OF a
system of measures which daily undermines
and destroys the independence and prosper
ity of the United States---Their opinion is,
that Bonaparte can do no wrong"-A de-
mocratic member Of Congress has declared,
that " whoever is opposed to Bonaparte, IS
an enemy to his country, and to God ! "
An editor of a democratic paper, who advo-
Gates the election of Mr. Madison to the Pre-
sidency, declares that the French govern
ment has treated this country with modera-
ton and friendship Mr. Randolph has de
cEared, that Mr. Madison has said, "France
wants money and must havS it,"

MORE FRENCH FRIEND SHIP
Ev0 rTCHCu arned schooners, the
Exchange, capt. Bonnasson, and Jeune
Estelle, capt. Carvine, arrived at this
port on the 18th ult. from Barracoa, via
st. Mary's River. One of them had
on board cargo of Coffee, which was
either sold or left in the hands Of their
agents In this place. They were per-
mitted to take on board such a quanti-
ty OF provisions as was deemed by the
proper authority, sufficient for their
voyage, and then sailed again on the
3oth ult. When they arrived here
they We're reported to be commanded
by capt. Youx and capt. FelIir.
Yesterday morning, letters were re-
ceived in town, by express, from St.
Mary's, stating, these same hrirateers,
who had received the rights Of hospi-
tallty in this port, had arrived in the
River St. Mary's, and had piundered
the brig Charles, of Baltimore, Of -four
to the amount Of 6o0o dollars. Capt.
Brownlow has forwarded his protest to
a mercantile house in this city, and has
requested that an attachment might be
laid upon any property which might be
found In the hands of their agents here.
This, we are informed, was done yes
terday but whether any thing will be
ultimately recovered to indemnify the
owners, Is yet to be ascertained. Capt.
Brownlow, in his letter, says, this
business IS the most villainous transac-
ton, and its equal he had never heard

ANOTHER DECREE !
BY. OUR FRIENDS"
ESfra1q Of a lett. from London dated May

ob, 1905.
The Mary, Kimball, and another fhip.
which failed from Ramfgate about weeks
ago have returned from Holland with their
cargoes. They were or 10 days in the
TereI, and expected to get leave to land their
cargaes. when a NEW DECREE of Bona
parties arrived, on the 2sih April, at Amfer-
dam, declaring ALL american vs1si5 captured
after the date Of the Decree 9th April 10 be
goci Prize becaafe none could be legally at
iea, Blu, muft lie carrying on a Britifh trade"
According 70 the above Decree, the Empe-
TOR aHd King undertakes to fay, that no A.
merican vehes can now legally be at fea, un-
leGs engaged in carrying on Britilh Commerce.
But this i only the particular pretence for
t5iI hottie mealure againlt the u. States. All
American veflels that are now at fea are le-
gally 70, becaule the Embargo Law did not
require the velIels ihouId return therefore
they are under the protection of the United
States; but even all that are out, are not en-
gagged in Britifh Commerce, as fome are on
the N w. Coat, fome at Canton, fome at the
T. Of France, fome at Batavia, fome in the
River Plate, &c. &c; many have failed with
ipeciaI Permiihons, iome are employed in the
fiheries, and fome in the coating trade. The
terms of the decree, as we hear Of them, are
general the apologias for the French, how
ever, may fay the hihermen and coaiters are
not intended. That we are to learn. But if
no veaels wers 10 be liable to capture under
this new decree, but vefels engaged in Brit
ifh Commerce, why was it iffued face the
Berlin and Milan Eecrees directed that Amer
lean ve1els fhould be captured if engaged in
that Commerce; if found going TO or coming
from any Britiih place, or place where the
Brit;fh had troops; having Britiih merchan-
die on board ; having paid duties at Brit
lin Cuftom houte or been examined by a
Britiih cruizer. Now under what circum-
frances, are the few Americans not in port, to

Hon Samuel Dexter delivered to an uncom-

and pathetic
FHNERAL ORA1TON
The friends of Mr.. Ames, who cher
ish the most sacred regard for his
memory, were highly gratihed that
Mr.. Dexter consented to pay the last
sad tribute of respect to his remains,
by pronouncing an Grafton. No task
is Of more difficult execution vet Mr..
Dexter left nothing to desire. 1t re-
quires congenial feelings, talents and
virtue, to do justice to those we would
commemorate.
Such were the benevolent feelings,
the splendid talents, and the pure vir-
tues Of the deceased, in every relation
OF life, that the Hottest strains OF elo-
quence could not be miss applied for
they would not swell to panegyrick.
Mr., DEXTER unites all the requisite at
tributes to pay due honors to the mem
DRY of his illustrious friend. His Ian
guage is gorgeous, his arrangement is
logical, his delineations are exact, his
conceptions are comprehensive, his re-
Elections are profound, and his manner
is dignifed. Without any design to
overrate his great and original inteIlec-
tual powers, we view him as one Of the
first orators of our country.
The ConcoWse of citizens was
great beyond example. Every heart
seemed to swell with grief; and every
eye glistened with sorrow. "A solemn
sllertce proclaimed that +" the loss Of
such man at such time," was ire
parable to his country, his family, and
his friends.
