The French Government having refused
to Gen. Armstrong, any one of the scques-
tered American vessels to carry home their
crews, the ship Ann was chartered by Mr..
Lee, Consul a, Bordeaux for this purpose
the day before she sailed an order was re-
oeived at the Police Office of Bayonne. to pro-
hibit all foreigners from leaving France,
without special permission from the Minister
OF Police at Paris the Ann being nea rly rea
dy for sea, fortunately got under way before
this order could be carried into effect at St.
Jean de Luz.
His Imperial Majesty appears to be much
1ncenccd at the late accounts from Amcri
ca. AS soon as the report of the repeal of
the Non Intercourse Law reached Paris, the
Duke OF Galore addressed note to Gen.
Armstrong, marked with an unusual degree
of anxiety to have ascevtaincd the fact of
the repeal, and few days afterwards the
American cargoes sequeStered in Spain,
were advertised to be sold at auction on the
list of August those seized in Holland and
the North OF France were sold at Antwerp
IN June. The probable amoupt OF proceeds
would exceed Eight Million of Dollars.
A letter from he advocate General of the
Customs a, Paris, stated the Emperor had
decreed on tn 26th June, that the compro..
missed vessels who had resumed the Ameri
capfag, shouidb be re sequestered Several

We can get but little information that
can be depended on. We only know. that
the last fortified town in Spain, near the
frontiers of Portugal, Ciudad Rodrigo. has
plain round 1t of or miles extent ; tut
so fearful were the Brit sh and Portuguese
armies OF risking general battle, that they
have suffered II to be starved out for want
or the necessary succours and, in conse-
quence, obliged to surrender, although the
ARMY was IN sight of il The whole time OF its
siege. We, however, believe there will
be some hard battles fought before the Il l.;
fish leave this Country for as Lord Wei
lirgton is at the head of the army here
and MS brother is Prime minister at home,
the existence of the present ministry will
depend on defending this country"
