day being fixed for the decision but we do
not expect that it will be favorable after the
l',dgc having given it to be understood, that
w. <lie to decide, it must be against the
captured ships without the Orders in Coun-
Gil wera repealed, with a retrospective
clause reliev;ag the property then under
the juNs ction of the court. He does not
believe in the repeal of the Berlin and Mi
Ian DEGREES and we can hardly suppose
that the United States will admit, under
the present arrangement, that they have
ceased to violate neutral commerce, or that
their partial abrogation, with conditions an
neXed, will induce the continuance of the
non-importation law against this country,
without also extending it to France. Some
intelligent Americans in Paris think that
the Emperor would make considerable
concessions from his present policy in your
favor, were he sure of its being the means
OF involving you in war with this Country,
and It is with this view only he is now ma
noeuvering, without giving up enough to
Cause the Orders III Council to be with

friends will have put any thing in his power;
indeed there is no great inducement for them
TO hazard shipments to that quarter at pre-

been able to maintain in the Peninsula, has
probably been the means of preventing a
rupture this summer in the North of Europe,
as it would seem the physical force of France
is at present unable to hold what she had
assumed, which will necessarily make the
emperE adopt more conciliatory measures
to Russia nor has Russia been able to hold
an elevated tone; the Turks have kept her

but is most severely felt by such articles as
are altogether unit for home use. Since the
Prince OF Wales's accession to the Regency,
he has become very popular it is generally
believed, that in more than one instance the
ministry have been overruled by him, and
should his majesty not be able to resume the
kingly office before Feb. next, at that time
all restrictions cease, and it is more than
probable, that then the Princes own imme-
date friends will supercede the present in
cumbcnts, who do not appear to possess his
confidence.
