FROM THE AURORA.
ADVICES FROM EUROPE,

AOPICES FROM EUROPE.
We have receiveda more than u suaI vari-
Nety and mass of private correspondence by
the recent arrivals from Europe much of
what relates to Spain, some of what relates
to England, and a smaller portion that relate
to France, was before received thro' public
papers.
The principal topic which we find touched
upon, is what relates to commerce. it is the
principal because it is the only point in which
we coac into contact with the powers of Eu-
rope.
All our accounts concur in the sentiment;
that there will be general and very spec
|dy exclusion from all commercial inter.
course with the ports of Europe in connex-
ion with France; that this exclusion will
extend to IS every flag avhich does nor suh
fsrf the rights Of nentrais." BY this ex
preston we should clearly understand the
flag OF the U S., as being the only neutral,
even if there were not other letters and O.
ther facts which render it. distinct and IN :
questionable.
We are in possession of not merely the
names but the particulars of the transact
ons OF numerous persons in France and En-
gland, who are concerned in traffic of the
American flag, that has exposed the fair
commerce of the U. States to great porti-
on Gifts present sufferings, and which threat
ems to p luce stagnation the most fatal
to our fair trade; if not worse consequences.
We are in possession of the following facts,
and If we are not very much mistaken, the
executive will have been furnished by this
time with the original evidence under the
hands of the parties concerned. -
1t is fact, that persons passing from En-
!, gland to France with American passports,
and protesting TO carry dispatches from our
minister in London, to our minister at Paris,
have carried to France British licenses for
safe. |
That men employed as consuls of the u.
States. have been engaged in this nefarious
traffic.
That this traffic OF dishonor is carried on
at L'Oricnt, at Morlaix, &c. that princi-
pal partner and party in this trade, is MIR.
John Atkins, Of Austin Friars, who is one
of the sherifhs of London at this time, and
that one of his correspondents is noless than
Mr.. Washington Morton, of New York !,
that this Mr.. Atkins, sheriff of london, is
one OF those who regulated the British SNUG
Cling trade with Holland under forged pa
pers and the American flag last summer.
That these loyal Americans, about whom
tie equally loyal Evening Post of II. York.
and Ledger, of Norfolk, have made so ma
ny lamentations (; and who have dwelt with
so much pathos on the stories of the equal
ly loyal Palmer, and Hopkins, and FoLger !;
we say that these loyal Americans have in
the true style of their patriotism, carried
on trade in French licenses also that
they have procured these licenses by various
modes of x. Y Z diplomacy, and passed
them off for Pargent, with the utmost compo-
sure, as the English licenses. and 70, ged pa
pers.
