We have an aecount OF British ship Of
war being tainted by; putrid provisions lodged
IN the lower tier, to which the Bilge Water
had cot access ); and the sickness OF the. crew
eausing her to return to port, where she IN
derwent q throrough cleansing upon the most
approved system that she then returned on
d.. her cruise. mSl was obliged to return again
on the same account that she underwent a
second cleansing, and returned to her station /;
that the same disease again attacked the crew
and again they were constrained to return to
port. Probably, in this case, the Biigc Wa.
tel afforded no indication of tie cause.
French Pri7dteers.-It requires more
than ordinary patience to hear ofthe dspre-
da,ious which are committed upon our
commerce, by Frenth piivateers in the
Wes; Indies, and upon our own coasts, and
even in sigh, at our ports. The question
tia, occurs is, where have these pr,yatcers
been fitted ,. The answer must be, in the
/ United States. The priva.e.rs alluded to
re mostly small vessels, which are not
om France, nor have they ever been in
rance. These vessels cannot carry more
S(lhan two or three months provisions for
their equipage. Guadaloure, the only pos
session France had left, has been nears'y
Jour months in the HANDS OF the British, and
il is six months since it was closely block.
AIDED. Now from where and from whom
have these cruisers obtained provisions and
other supplies necessary 70 have enabled

SIR,
have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter under date the 25th
inst.
On the cad of February, 1903, his ma.
~jesty's minister in America declared to the
government of the United States " his ma,
Iesty's earnest desire to see the commerce
OF the world restored to that freedom which
IS necessary for its prosperity ; and his rea.
diness TO abandon the system, which had
been forced upon him, whenever the enc.
my should retract the principles which had
rendered it necessary"
Lam commanded by his majesty to re.
peatthat declaration, and to assure YOU that
whenever the repeal ofthe French DEGREES
shall have actually sakea effect, and the

previously to the PRONUNCIATION of those de-
crees, his majesty will feel the highest sa-
tisfaction 10 relinquishIDg a system, which
the conduct of the enemy CO mpelled him TO
adopt.

consideration, Sir, your most obedient and

Dispatches from Mr.. Pinkney, our mi.
mister at London, were received by this ar.
rival, and forwarded to Washington by yes
terday's mail.
The United States sioop of war Hornet,
had arrived off Falmouth, and Lieutenant
Spencer had reached London with the des-
patches from our government.
The brig 1ammaa nash, Captain Sto.
rey, had also arrived at London, IN the re.
markable passage CT 16 days from New.

The regency of Spain has published an
order, declaring the Caracas. in conse.
quence of the revolution there, in a state of
blockade. This order, however, ompre-
bends only a part of Caracas. Two Span
ish sail of the line have been sent out to en-.
force the blockade.
LONDON, Sept. 6.
General Armstrong lately presented Sc
veral OF his countrymen at the Thuilleries.
Bonaparte addressing one of them who had
lately returned from England, said 6rus-
qaement, Do you think the British will
permit your vessels to navigate the ocean
you see have removed their apologies for
obstructing your commerce? To be a great
nation you should sustain your flag, and
sustain it by your cannon" Without wait.
ing for a reply be turned to general Arm
strong, and asked him if he was not going
home, aud when congress would meet?
and then passed to another part of the cir
Gle.
A treaty of commerce has been ARRANGED
with the deputies from the Caracas, in the
4th article of which, we understand that G.
Britain on her part, engages to protect the
trade OF those settlements against any hos.
tile attempts that may be made to destroy
II; a singular embarrassment, thus arises
from the late blockading proclamation of
the regency of Spain.
The fall in the price of English cloth is
perhaps the greatest ever known. The

were sold at two guineas per yard, are not

shire cloth did not fetch above IS. per

BALTIMORE, Oct. II.

Captain Dawson, who arrived this morn.
ing from Carthagena, reports that there
were disturbances In the interior of the
Spanish provinces. He is unacquainted
with particulars being only informed that
a partial engagement had taken place, in
which the +" Independents" OF St. Fee had
repulsed an advanced detachment of the
a loyal" Mexicans. Both armies marshal
obstinately under the patriotic banners of
Ferdinand Vii.
Captain d. brought three 4 white, two

Indian Ireaties.-Some time past, Mr..
Harrison, governor of the Indiana terrific.
ny, negotiated a very considerable ~cession
of land from the Indians, inhabitinp III,
Wabash. This cess:on is made the cause
or prctexs OF an hostile spirit which IS pro.
pagated by the celebrated prophet, and
which may, not im~probably, eventuate in
another Indian war. The prophet has en-.
gagged a number of tribes IN a con!edrracv
which protests against the ~cession az void.
and maintains tina, all the Indians of he
continent compose but one nation, thar
IN ofCdt DPtiit gave TIC idldS 10 all, and
that, consequently, they can be aliena,ed
only by common consent. ! he new oos;.
ton IN the law of nations, is at variance
with al the titles heretofore acquired from,
the Indians, TO establish which, the con.
currence of the actual occupants has been
considered sufficient. The other princ;.
pie would, in fact, render any Indian Dur.
chase imPracticable, because the consent
OF the numerous tribes distant, dispersed
and unknown, as many of them are, could
never be obtained. The rule which has
formed the basis of public contracts, is NOT
only just but humane.-The settle meut of
the whites have extended more and mare
upon the Indian lands, ever since the dis.
covery of the continent, and that they
should continue to advance i. the law If
nature of this hemisphere. Hence. if Il.
ties cannot be procured by contract and
purchase, possession will nevertheless be
obtained by force, TO the destruc,;on-af
the indians, instead of promoting tEeir
comfort and happiness by the gradual IN
ct the arts ct civil life.

The preparations Tor receiving Bona

gentleman who left that country a few days
ago, are carried on with extraordinary ac.
tivity, and on a scale Of expense that will
bear heavily or the inhabitants. Some
hundreds of artizans Of various kind. W ere
employed to render the palace appointed
for his residence as magnificent and com.
modlous as possible. Several houses had
been RACED tor enlarging and improving the
view from thence. The accommodation
and satisfaction of Bonaparte were not a.
lone consulted /; but care was also taken TO
provide for the personal convenience of
those who accompany him in his journey.
Bills were affixed to several houses be.

been obliged to remove, for the purpose Of

The failure of the banking house a. the
west end OF the town, caused a run on the

which they now limit their discounts. A
house, well known for its liberality in &C.
commodations, lately refused to discoun,
an exceptance ofone of the Oldest and most
respectable banking houses in London.
The late convuision in the mercantile
world has given rise to a p~rojsc, of a new

millions, under the title Of " The Com.

Since the union OF Holland, the maya.
zines of Hellgoland find no longer any vent,
and are quite choaked up. The quantity
OF merchandise which is lost is inconceiva.
bic. Every moment we see new magazines
formed, but all are full, and most Of the
bales remain unpacked. This example is
singular, and shews to what q degree the
distress OF England extends. Under this
point OF view, it cannot be doubted but that
the union OF Holland is a terrible blow to
the commerce of England aud it remains
to be asked, why thar measure has heen so
long delayed? 1t is evident that if Holland
had been formerly united, England would
have sooner experienced the horrible crisis
in which her commerce is now placed
bankruptcies succeed each other in Lon.
don. Her exchange loses 40 per cent, and
her bank paper has ceased to possess the
character proper to that kind of paper. 1t
is now only a paper money, which is every
day further discredited.
twenty vessels of war, with 600 mer.
chantmen have entered the Baltic, having
no other object than to smuggle and deposit
the eargoes of these ships on the continent.
The Danes have captured so, the cargoes
OF which are estimated at 90 millions. The
Russians have ccn6scsted 80. These YES.
sells sail under false colors they have false
papers. false destinations, and false French
licences they call themselves Americans,
Spansards, and Hsmburgers they have G.
ven false certificates of origin from French
c~ohsuls. They stick at nothing but all
this only succeeds in part ; and il, as is re-
ported, Russia carefully interdicts the en-
trance of colonial produce, and if French
troops occupy M~aclenburg, where English
merchandise has so good a market, and
where the contraband trade is carried on
with such activity, English m will

THE WESTMINSTER MEETING.

Either in point Of number or apparent ar
dor Of feeling, this meeting has certainly had
no parallel within our recollection, or even
in tie records of history. The whole Of the
immense square of the palace yard was
literally filled; there could not, indeed, have
been less thar 10000 persons present, the
majority of whom wore in their hats pla
cards, upon which were inscribed " The
King, the Laws and Burdett." Along the
sides Of the square were coaches filed with
ladies and gentlemen, among whom were
number OF fashiouables and members of
both houses of Parliament. The windows
Of all the houses within view were also crowd
ed. Atemporary hustings was erected oppo-
site the Kings arms tavern. About half
after twelve o'clock the high baiIiff made
his appearance, accompanied by lord Coch
ranc, Mr.. Wardle, Mr. St6rch. Mir. Wishart
