AUGUST 90.
From the Lo1don Courier.

A conspiracy against tke life of Bona
nortc is said to have been discovered at Bre-
ds, and two of the principal persons en-
paped in it arrested.
i is reported that flag of truce arrived
on Saturday at Dover, with dispatches re-
)stiye to a cartel--We doubt the report.
No Dover letter has beer received this
morning mentioning such an arrival.
1t seems extraordinary that any person
should deny that Bonaparte has been the
first TO condemn his commercial restrictions,
and TO confess that they have utterly failed
in producing the effect he intended. oh
one and the same day he opens his ports tor
the importation of those commodities which
he cannot procure but from the power whose
commerce he had sworn to destroy, and
with whom he had interdicted every species
of intercourse and he notifies to the Anne
rican minister that because America has
repealed her non.in.ercourse act, and open.
ed her ports to French commerce, his Ber-
lin and Milan DEGREES are revoked: as if
these DEGREES had been the consequence OF
the offensive measures adopted by America,
which measure having been Withdrawn, the
DEGREES are also Withdrawn.
If he revokes DEGREES, our orders conse-
.quent upon those DEGREES will be revoked
also: but if he suppose that we shall absn-
don any part of the old maritime law, he
will find himself completely mistaken. lie
has said that from and after the DIST Nov.

this sacrifice to the principle which deter.,,
mined the Americans to impose the emDar-

resolution of interdicting themselves the
use of the sea, rather than submit 70 the
laws of those who wish to become itsty-

merce Of France, whilst it authorized
trade with Spain, Naples and Holland that
lis 10 say, with countries under French intiu-
ence, and denounced conflscatlon against all
French vessels that should enter the ports
of America. Reprisal was a matter OF right,
and commanded by the dignity OF France,
circumstance upon which it was impossl'
bic to make any compromise. The seques-
tration Of all the American vessels IN
France was unnecessary result OF the mea-
sures taken by congress.

The ports of America are open to French
commerce, and france is no longer inter
dicted TO the Americans. In short, the
congres engages to oppose such OF the BEL
liperent powers as shall refuse TO recognize
the rights of neu,ra!s.
In this new state Of things, | am au-
,horized to declare to you, sir, that the de-
cree of Berlin and Milan are revoked. and
that from the first of November, they wlll

that in consequence of this declaration tie
