e The astonishing success which has at
tended the arms Of the emperor Napoleon
in Germany cannot fail of producing con-
sequences on the political situation Of this
continent which will be felt even in your
distant and hitherto happy country: Lean.
didly confess to you, however, that unless
it brings about general pacihcation, l see
but little hope of relaxed measures with re-
spect to the American trade On the part Of
the French government /; for while ITS OBJ
iect is the humiliation. of its enemy, which
can perhaps only be effected by closing up
every avenue of communication with the
continent, however circuitous, il is proba-
bic that the prohbitory system will not only
be persisted in, but even be enforced with
more rigor than cper.
=" From the moment that Tuscany was
annexed to France our foreign commerce
has been subjected to the same regulations
with the other ports of the empire. The
only advantage which remains to us is the
freedom of our ports which has been pre-
served and will in all probability operate in
favor of the place should business revive
again.
Among the strong political measurcswhich
have characterized the present war,the nom
importation Of colonial articles is the most
prominent, and it is point which according
to appearances will be obstinately maintain
ed. The king of Naples has made some
partial exceptions in favor OF the Americans
lately arrived there /; this and their condi-
tional admission into Holland, have excited
general dissatisfaction, since it appears hard
that the benefits of neutral trade, if at all al
lowed, should be equally enjoved thro'out
the empire. The disadvantages attending
such partial federation has been represented
to government in SO striking point of view
that their cannot be doubt but that these
dispositions will be Immediately counter
manded."

q arrived here after a passage of AZ
DAYS from Madeira. whence sailed On The
2sth May, bound to Trieste,but in the gulph
Of Venice was informed Trieste was in pcs
session of the French, in consequence I
put into this port (beins about IS leagues
from TRIESTE for information. IN eonse-s
quence of the French having possession Of
Trieste. many of its inhabitants have fed
for safety to Furne !; and although this place
nerer was considered of much consequence
a commercial sense, yet there is reason
now Is suppose, from he circumstance ola
srea; many commercial characters having
come hitner, that it will in short time, be-
como of some importance lie point of trade.
6 With respect to markets they arr very
bad and as i, relates to sugar and coffee
neither of which articles I might add, would
sell !; for they are perfect glut here but
loowooG and cotton areSin demand, and in
fact they are the only articles will sell to a
nv advantage. The !schr, Camelion. of
Philadelphia, is here, loaded with sugar
and coffee, besides three masted schooner
