would be 10 indisposition on the part ofhls
government to the enforcement by the ma
val power Of Great Britain Of, the regula-
tions Of America with respect to France.
and the countries to which these equations
continue to apply, but tf1athis government mt.
was itself aware, that without sach enforce- T
ment those regulations must be altogethe r
nugatory; aatter myself that there VIII
! be no difficulty in obtaining a distinct and
Official recognition of these conditions from
the American government. :
For this purpose you are at liberty to-
communicate this dispatch in esteus0 to the
American Secretary of State.
Upon receiving, through you on the part
of the American government, distinct
and official recognition of the three men
toned conditions, his majesty will lose no
time in sending to America formal and
regular treaty.
As, however it is possible that the delay
which must intervene before the actual con-
clusion ola treaty may appear to the Anne
rican government to deprive this arrange
mept of part fits benefits, am so autho-
rize you if the. American government be
desEouss Of acting upon the agreement be-.
fore it is reduced to a regular form, (either
BY immediate repeal, Of, the embargo, and
the other acts in question, or by engaging
to repeal them on a particular eay1 to assure
the American government of his maiesty's
READINGS to meet such a disposition in the
manner best calculated to give it immediate
effect.
Upon the receipt here Of an official note,
containing an engagement for the adoption
by the American government of the three.
conditions above specified, his majesty will
be prepared, on the faith of such engage
ment, either immediate (if the. repeal shall,
have been immediate inAmerica) or on days,
specified by the American government fos
that repeal, reciprocally to-secal the orders
IN council, without waiting for the conclu-
sion Of the treaty ; aud you are authorized,
in the circumstances herein described, to
make such reciprocal engagements on his
ma;esty's behalf.

GEORGE CANNING.
Latest from France.

Last evening arrived at this port, the ship
Hope, capt. Humphries, IS days from Bor-
deaux. The Hope has brought upwards OF
50 passengers, aud sailed by special permits
sion. Capt, II. has furnished the editor of
the Mercantile Advertiser with Paris papers
70 the 9Th OF June inclusive but upon a has
t. perusal, we do not find that they contain
any thing new.
We learn from the captain and passengers
that the dispatch ship Mentor, capt.. Ware,
remained at L''Orient, waiting the orders OF
gen. Armstrong, our minister at Paris anu
that the y. S. brig .Syren, was to be imme-
diately dispatched from L'Oriens to Eng
land-that no account of any new battle be-
tween the emperor Bonaparte and the Ncf-
duke Charles had reached Bordeaux-ts1at
the affairs between America and France re-
NAMED in stqtu quo.
In addition to the above, a passenger In
the Hope, has favored us with the following
extract Of letter, dated the, 18th. June, from
Bordeaux, which was sent to him just as the
Hope was leaving the Cordoyan.
'sIhe commissary Of marine at Roche
fort, has lust written TO the maritime pre-,
feet at Bordeaux, not to grant any mere
clearances to American vessels, as they had
lust heard chat the commercial intercourse
between America and France had been sus-
pended by law of the American Congress
on the Goth day of May last.
The Hope saaed from the CoTdoYan On
