This place isso completely overstock-
ed with colonial and American pro-
duce that SPECTATORS are afraid to
make an offer; and an Order of Coun-
Gil prohibiting allvessels (Americans
alone excepted Sfrom entering or lea
wing SwedishpOrts, with a British Ii
cSnce, has puSan end to enterprise of
every kind, apd a perfect stagnation of
business ls'the consequence. This
measure of the British has been produ.
ced by the Swedes excluding British
vessels from th.ir ports since the Oath
April.
An express was sent to the Adj
miral with the following question: eli
American vessels carrying their own
produce either direct from America
or hence, were likewise subject to such
licenses! 70 wbich he returned this
answer in writing ;--'t have to inform
you, that conceive the regulations
were meant to include all vessels indis-
crimipately, & that Americans should
be, provided with licenses" Thus the
ports in the Baltic, eastward Of the
Seaw and the Maze of Norway, may
be considered in state of Blockade.
The news is IN crude state, and un-
digested as yet, and every person at a
loss. Some conference amongst A.
mericans. will no doubt soon take place,
as there are a number Of vessels prepar-
ed to sail higher up, and stopped 10

from the Admiral.

aletter from Hamburger, dated 22d inst.
stating that a new decree 1.-THE Ram

rambullet OF Bonaparte has been pub
Iished, which conhscates all American
property imported into France and her
dependencies, since goth May 1909 ;
and orders the proceeds to be placed
In the treasury. The writer's give n
as their opinions that it will be acted
upon in all the Danish, Prusssian and

LATEST FROM 5CADIZ. 81,

Captain Bolen, who arrived at this port
yesterday. in SIS days from Cadiz, informs,
that about the 25tii of May battle was
fought by the English and Portuguese ar
mics against the French in which the lat.
ter we're defeated.--The communication
between the besieging army of Cadiz and
Madrid was cut of. The English troops
IN 'Cadiz were preparing on the Cd of June
TO make sortie on the French, in conse-
quence of the news of their defeat on the
frontiers of Portugal, expecting that the
British and Portuguese army would attack
the French troops besieging Cadiz.
The brmbardment of Matagorda from an
opposite fort was so severe, that the French
had dismounted their cannon AT that place,
and the people in Cadiz we're 10 very high
spirits, and IN full expectations of getting
rid Of their invaders. Flour was s 90, but
the recent arrivals of four American yes
sells had reduced the price,.
Capt. b. further informs that 5000 troops
had recently arrived, and that when he
sailed Is transports were beating in.

We have already remarked, that by
some strange mischance, all The nego-
Citations between this country and
Great Britain, come to the ground.
Various instances have been mention
ed in proof of this remark. For some
reason or other, our administration
thought it expedient, that the people
should be led to expect speedy adjust
ment ofall our difficulties with that ma
ton. BY some means, it is of no i'm
portance what, our government has
been for years possessed oil considera-
bic advantages in negotiating with G.
Britain. Twice they have put it in
our power to treat win them az Hash
ington, instead OF being obliged to do it
al Lond,n. This ought to have been
considered and treated as fortunate
occurrence. Ii placed the negotiation
in its whole progress under the eyes of
our government. Iilis advantage, al
though, thus repeatedly in our pos
session, for some reason best known
10 the administration, has been given
up, and future negoclalion, it would
seem, must be carried on, if carried on
al all, across the Atlantic. Besides ali
this, we are In an awkward situation

THAT there is a sinful conformity to the

any serious person. Notwithstanding the

to which the hearts Of all men are still sub.
Ject, proceeds that diversity Of opinion res
pecting the commands and prohibitions re-

c'slngu.ssna with exactness between duty &

Any company, or conversation, or sports, or
