FROM FRANCE.-We have received
regular files of French papers to the fifth of
June, and have .perused letters of similar
dates. A letter from Bordeaux, dated in
June, gives gloomy account Of trade; the
writer says, ~ am IN France, and shall say
but little about politicsm!- prudent.
Another of the 5oth of May, mentions the
decree Of the Esd of March, "sequesterlng
all American vessels and cargoes there
or that may arrive in France, or the coun-
tries under her control which the en-
peror declares to be in retaliation for the
non-intercosrse act" We have had some
TRANSACTIONS made tor this days paper;
but the French files are generally quite
uninteresting. We are assured by an in
teiligent and respectable passenger in the
George Dyer, that no favorable accounts
need be expected from any quarter where
the: French arms prevail. He accounts for
the temporary safety of our property In the
North of Europe, by stating the necessity
Bonapa,te was under Of ordering 10000
troops from the borders Of 'Holstein ,(Den.
MARK &c. to>Spain; in which latter place
he has more to encounter than was anticl-
pa,ed. The, gentleman alluded to has no
doubt Of the intended fell swoop," which
will sooner or later involve all American
property within the reach Of Bonaparte's
agents. Our short respite is owing to the
fact we'll known in France, that the northern
people will not execute his DEGREES against
American commerce, unless there is a
French military force adequate to enforce
obedience. They confidently expect that
such force will line the coasts from Glib
ral,ar to Cronstadt that we cannot much
longer find safety in Denmark or Prussia,
any more than we can now in France or
Holland.

CALL FOR PAPERS.
Mr. Mosely rose to Offer a resolution call
ing for information. He quoted the mes
sage of the President OF the u. = at the
commencement of the session in relation
to our affairs with France. The President
had referred the House to the correspon.
dence laid before them to shew the state
OF our affairs with France. Now this COR
rcspondence consisted of latter from Mr.
ChampaSny, which Mr. Armstrong, in an
extract of a letter from MIN, declares
to be the de6nitive answer Of the Enpe-
ror OF France to the propositions made to
him by the American government. What
these propositions were was not any whe re
stated. Being DESTROYS to obtain infor-
nation on this subject, he moved the fol-
lowing resolution,
Resolved, That the President of the u
IS. be requested TO cause to be laid before

cept s,sca parts thereof as may in his
opinion require secrecy.
Mr. Rbea, (T) moved an amendment
calling for infor nation as well as to q reat
Britain as to. France.

would involve AN absurdity ). because the
