Most Excellent Senior,
The troops under my command had
scarcely taken positions, at and in the vicin-
ity OF Brunnolas, ON the 18th inst. when the
enemy's advanced guard, consisting of be-
tween and 600 men, appeared before us,
but not choosing 10 approach near to our po
sitions. they reiterated; and on the follow
ing day body of about 5000 Infantry and
$50 cavalry, came by the way of St Dalmay,
having come through the thick woods that
cover all that part Of the country They
came upon our advanced posts in front of
this place, upon which the firing common

sufficient. While brigadier Henriquc O.

chiefly of the grenadiers of New Castle, the

TO abandon, leaving their camp eeuipag- 8,

you you in the annexed copies of ofieial doeu
ments, we have much TO interest our atten
ton, and to induce our closest investiga'
ton Of the circumstances, which may dis.
tinguish the carrying into effect the 'Provi-
sions of this ,.esv and most important policy
of the French ruler. Affecting as it neces-
sarily will the future maritime engagements
fthe merchant. Of the United States, and
obviously holding out to them most ex,
tensive and profitable branch of trade, (for
years controlled, 1ersecuted and intefdicted)
as well as the restoration Of thei, CONNER
cia[ rights, we contemplate this decree as
deeply involving rhe mutual interests Of our
respective countries. We are aware that
America is yet simsrtidg under the ,tysan.
mic and Unprecedented robbery committed
on the widely extended property Of her
merchants; the plan, policy of France may
render its d,crees retrosbecti5e, and direct.
ing compliance with its provisions, restore
the sequts:ered properly to its owners
Master now in a formal, as well as e ectuai,
manner Of Holland, this circumstance may
aid the work of reconciliation with the u.
States the debts owing to tina. country and
alluded to by the American minister at Pa
ris, can now be placed on new ground of
liquidation. The critical circumstances IN
which the colonies Of Spain in South Ame-
RIGA are placed, and the dispositions some
of them have evinceG, & the advances they
have made to strengthen their independence
by an alliance with the United States, are
important suxiliaries at this moment to the
lure which the French Emperor offers to
your government. France has lost all her
colonies, but she will doubtIess prefer hav-
ing the produce and the articles she wants
through the medium OF America, to that of
the only power of Europe now independent
of her control. Our orders in council was
avowed to be founded on the promuigation
of the Berlin and Milas DEGREES; those be-
ing rescinded. we may expect the former
will necessarily be given up, but much anx-
iety is naturally excited in the question OF
the policy which our government may now
adopt: The field of enquiry before us is
extensive as it is interesting id euery sense"
An Irish gentleman having a party to

turned the Ribernian, "then have made

they dc rescind they will not renounce their
blockading system. Perhaps, to proven {
any plea on our part for restoring the non
intercourse, they will rescird. Butin Ell
Their case the blockading system Wilt cons
tinued /; and, one of the conditions OF the
revocation of the DEGREES being our res'sf-
ance to what the French call violation OF
our neutral rights, our French Americans
will feel themselves bound to take coercivc
measures to resist this blockading. Per-
haps the first proposal will he to arm our
merchantmen knowing the British will
resist our violating their blockading orders;
and that such resistance can probably be
made cause Of open war ; and consequent
ly an alliance with France.
