,PriSate Correspondence Of the Register

BORDEAUX, Jan. II.
Since my last, various and contradictory
reports have circulated, relative to a system to
be adopted for commercial intercourse between
the United States sAd France and her allies
The subject, Ihave good reason to believe, had
been entered upon at Paris but from the late
orders to sequester American vessels and car
goes, ~ the neighboring ports Of Spain, it was
naturally concluded that this government had
resolved, rather to encresse, than relax its rlea-
sures Of rigour.
Letters from Paris, moreover, announce,
That the american property sequestersd in the
ltahan ports, has been ordered for sale.

Adams had arrived with dispatches aud the
