Extract 1f letter from Bordeaux, to q
respectable mercantile house in this cify,
dated the 27th Of March, 1908.
The Usage arrived at Torrent on the
odd inst. in % days from New-York, and her
dispatches having gone on to Paris ;. We
are anxious!y waiting their result. which
am very appreheusiye will not be of very
satisfactory nature, rs this government will
not probably suspend the operations of the
late DEGREES OH the American commerce I'M
less the United States will join the confede-
racy against England. 1t is also to he feared

A schooner from Matanzas was yester-
day seized in this port for violation of the
Embargo acts She was cleared out from
Baltimore, but the particulars of the proce-
dures we have not yet learned"
BY the arrival ofthe brig Prudence, which
LETT Bordeaux on the LIST ult. we have been
put in possession of file of Paris Moniteurs
down to the 22d March. There is not trace
| in them of the revolution which was then to
take place in Spain; not word of the visit
that Napoleon was apparently on the eve
OF paying to that devoted kingdom. A mys-
FERROUS veil hangs immovable upon every
scheme Of that arbitrary ruler Of Europe.
We will extract from them, tomorrow,
the speech delivered by the arch-cnancellor
in tile senate, on the 18th March, when he
communicated TO that passive body the sta
| ttte by which Napofe II had established, NOT
political body of nobility, but distinctions
similar to those which are elsewhere the
characteristics of noblemen. These titles, as
it has been observed confer no authority, and
can of course, have no other tendency but to
render his own more respectable.
This new law deserves the attention of e.
very observer, since it constitutes am essen
tia alteration, or rather, ADDS a considerable
strength, to the permanance of power in Bo-
naparte's hands and we think it our duty to
republish it as having been altered IN the
English newspapers. (L'Oractc.)
