STOCKHOLM, Aug. 8.
Letters from Paris state, that the follow.
ing notice lately appeared in several French
newspapers -
American ships frequently make their
appearance in the north seas and the Baltic,
furnished with pretended certificates OF ORR
gin, of the French consuls we have au-
lhori,y to state, that the said certificates are
forged, and that the holders or bearers
thereof are guilty of forgery. The said
papers are evidently fabricated in England,
for his maJesty's consul ceased long ago to
grant similar certificates"
1t is understood that French licences will
be required for the introduction into France
of colonial produce and East India pro-
duce, which licences, it is added, will spe-
city that one third of the return cargo must
consist Of brandes. TO this our ministers
will not agree, because, they will not injure
the West India planter, whose sale of rum
would thereby be considerably abridged.--
Several merchants waited yesterday on the
Board Of Trade, and had long conference
with earl Bathurst. His lordship informed
them of the determination to which we have
Just alluded, and added that licences were
printing and would be ready for delivery in
a few days, allowing the expectation Of Z.

coffee and sugar; this last article to be in.

country or colony i, may have been drawn.

stones, and one third in wine.

land?
Intelligence to the 18th inst. has been re.
ceived from Dunkirk, which states that
Bonaparte has expressed his determination
not to grant any licences for the importation
of East India produce, before the ed of
November, or until the British government
has made known lis determination with re.
spect to the orders in council. There can
be no difficulty or hesitation respecting
them-and our ministers may notify that
the enemy having declared his intention of
revoking his DEGREES on the 1st of Nov. the
operation of our orders in council conse.
quent upon these DEGREES, will cease from
that day. AS to abandoning the blockade
of his ports, they will take no notice of
that condition, which Bonaparte himself i,
perfectly sure we shall not comply with.
If he hope that he shall so ingratiate
himself with America, as to induce her to
go to war with us, we think he is no. very
likely to succeed for what can she gain !;
or rather has she not every thing to lose by
it? Where are her means of annoyance
