LONDON, July IS,
Louis Bonaparte, we suppose, will
Immediately quit Holland. This may
surprise some, who observe, that he has
nominated his wife regent, and his son
his successor, as they must necessarily
be in Holland, it would appear natu-
raj that he should remain with them.
But those argue in this way, do it un-
der the belief that he and his wife have
lived together and that he Considers
her children as his own. The fact is,
that they never have lived together
that the marriage was forced upon him
by his brother--that from that time
they have never resided together.-
Lately when both were at Paris, on the
OCCASION of Bonaparte's marriage, Lou
is lir,d at his mothers hotel, and his
wife at another. Her children have al
ways been considered as the children
of Bonaparte, and not of Louis.
Hence Louis, in resigning the crown.
said---S 4 give it to you, Napoleon
Bonapsrte, and to your's.-.to your son
who passes for mine, and to my wife,
by whom you had this son.

French papers recevr' s,nct our last,
contain a re:cr' rom Champagny, duke

Ought your majesty to confirm this d.spo-
sition taken by the king of Holland 81
This question is made the Introduction to
a detailed statement, impressing the adj
vantaees and necessity of the Incorporate
on of Holland with France. The Dutch
natibn was, it Is said, 5urthened with n
debt and taxes beyond all due proporti-
on=-,he incorpcr alton is to cure al, this.
AT the erd Of the present year the French
and Dutch taxes are to be put upon the
same foc~ng; but in the mean time the
interest OF a great part of the Dutch debt
is reduced to one third of its present rate.
This IL, in fact, a seizure of two thirds
of the property ofthe public creditors af-
fccsed by it, and in a country where the
public debt constitutes great part OF the
property OF the}people, will of course be a
relief by means of absolute ruin. Again,
it is said that the freedom Of commerce
is checked b. the separation If the sove .
rfe:sn.y OF TIE mouths of the great rivers
of the Freneh empire, from that of their
course, and by the barriers and the lines
of custom houses and Gus ON duties on the
frontiers, ect. All these evils are TO be

BALTIMORE, September 8:

The following letter from an intelIi -.ne
Anne rican gentleman IN England, 90 his
friend in N. York, and published in the
Columbia, strongly points out the absurd
conduct of our government in raising the
non-intercourse act and adopting III ,coa's
submission bill. Our rulers should reflect
hat the government of Great Britain ans
become remarkable for her observance Of
the punica fides, and that necessity and
interest alone, Invested of honor or strength
IS the governing principle of her cabinet.
Under such circumstances there can be 40
DOUBT but that measures could have been
adopted and enforced which would have:
compelled Great Britain to accede to an
hoDourable arrangement with US. by giv.s
ing an indemnity for the past and security
tor her future good conduct, so long as We
have At in our power to compel her to re-.
sped it.

in the hands OF Messrs. Dicks, Orr and
Clark. The vessel arrived ia.e in the e.
ver;ng. ard early next morning he applied
TO those gentlemen and oltainel bills drawn
| by them in their own favor and blank en-
dorsed by them on David Dicks, Esquire,
Church Street, London, for the amount. On
application to the Duke of Manchester for
the arrest and delivery of Brown, he stated
the case to De lone in which he did not
think he could interfere with prupri-
! ety.
| warrant was obtained from the Mayor
| to apprehend ard bring Brown before him :;
bat 1t was not of authority sufficient to
search for him, nor could one OF that des-
cription be obtained. The bills are adver.
tised, and Information has been transmitted
to oar minister at the court Of St. James, to
eHdeaVor TO stop the payment of them. In this,
our agent at Jamaica seems inclined to be-
iievc. hs will succeed. ~ few days before
tile departure Of 65 from Jamaica, Brown
sent TO the Commercial agent of the
United States, that he should prosecute him
for defarling his character by the adver
tisement he inserted In the newspaper
MeSsrs. Dicks, Orr and Clark, house
OF great responsibility in Jamaica, seem anx-
lous to do every thing to sop the payment
o. the bills, in order that he may be enabled
10 refund the money pow in their hands.
The commander Of the Feiucca, Watson,
Iciaimedprctcction as 4 British subject. lie
was taken before the assistant in lge Of the
supreme court and tried. The Judge, John
Jacques, Esq. after hearing the cause of his
detention, ordered the Martial on the back
of the writ of habeas corpus, to remand
him. The officer who had charge of him
could not Immediately convey him on board,
because he had TO attend an election. He
confined him in prison, & Watson attempt
ed to escape. He then put him in the stocks.
Unfortunately Judge jacques was a candidate
for the Assembly, and the adverse party
seized the opportunity Of exciting the cia-
Nor of the mob, by representing a British
subject confined TO be sent for trial to a
foreign government. This placed the judge
in a singular dilemma. He must eitherrc-
lease Watson or lose his c!eclion-he chose
the former.
villain named Allen Kennedy. who
owned the Feiucca previous to her arrest
by this vessel, has received from Brown a
bout 400 pounds sterling, which he says
is to indemnity him for til: vessel and car
go-yet it is pretty weN known the latter
bid not belong to him.
He told me that Brown was at private
boarding house in the West end of the town
but he would not inform me what house
and added, that as they were country men,
he would not inform against him. This
fellow offered the bills after they were adj
vertised, ar discount TO the drawers, which
was rejected with indignation.
No doubt Brown'w in jamaica when
sailed.
