CAPTAIN Horn,.who arrived here yester-
dav, sailed from Lisbon on the 18th ult.
at which time the report was, that the
siege of Badajoz was raised. and that the
British troops were on their retreat to
Lisbon, being in want Of provisions. 1t
was also reported that the siege of Cadiz
WAS raised, and that the French troops
were on their march to join Soult near
Seville, who was pressing forward for Ba-
daioz. We have seen a letter from Lis
bon containing similar information. The
whole, however, rests upon report.
A letter ofthe 14th of June, from an
intelligent merchant, observes, "The re-
port Of to-day is, that the English have
! raised the siege of Badajos, and that the
English are falling back to their former
strong position. 1t does not, however,
aDpear to receive credit, and all are san
snine in their expectations of the final
expulsion of the French from both Por-
! tGsal and SPAIN"

LATEST. FROM FRANCE.

Arrived yesterday, brig Fox, Capt. Cullen,
in 90 days from Bayonne, which place she
left on the 18th March. The verbal s. writ.
ten news BY this vessel are of such nature
as almost to extinguish hope. Not only was
the American property (Which was faithfully
promised to be restored on the I'd February
lot given up OIL the thirteenth OF March,
but all American vessels arriving In France,
were refused an entry, were put Under SCI
questration, aid their papers sent to Paris.
On the eighth day Of March, the Director
General of the Customs announced to the
merchants of Bordeaux, that the French En-
peror had adjourned the expression Of his OPT
Mon respecting the admitting American ves-
sells to entry. Another letter states tia. the
director general of the customs had declared
that 10 more applications for admitting Amer
lean vessels to an entry, would be received.
Of course they will remain under sequestra-
ton. The vessels which sailed from Ameri-
ca under Napoieon's special licenses, were
equally sequestercd with those which had
none--no distinction being made.
No American vessel is permitted to leave
France, except under special license, which
it is very difficult to procure, and costs large
sum.
6 What the event will be (says letter
which we have seem no one en- teli--but be.
ware, and advise your friends also to beware,
of shipping any more property to this ccurb
try"
From all we have been able to gather by
this arrival, there appears not the least psUba-
bility OF Napoleon restoring American pro.
perty, or resembling bis Berlin and Milan De-
crees, which are still in most rigorous ope-
ration.

Cofee.Housc Rules, or Ruies necessary to be
observed in all C96ee-Honses.
In the first place, no politician has any
words, to read it as SLOW as if he was perus-
ing some long labored metaphysical tract, or
some other studied composition.
All newspapers Especially when the coffee
house IS iuil OF company should be constantly
read with 4 little polite, genteel, well bred
hurry.
ror any one to enter upon regular re.
reading oi the advertisements before he has
delivered the paper to another gentleman, is
b. no means the thing because it not only
discovers little Or no genius for newspapers,
but at the Same time it creates Il very consi-
dcratie Stasnation lii the general stream Of
politics, ane. may possibly SAVIOUR Of the Nfvis

he should re vastly Cautious how he breaks
out into any sudden, instantaneous, vocLcrops
oh or oh !! or any other laconic expression I;
because such sort OF laconisln is often too
much of the startling kind to the rest of the
company, and is fruitful of bad consequences
in all political assemblies.
TO hold paper quite snug and quiet in
one hand, and to read another at the same
time, is very injudicious, if not selfish, and
paptakes of what the ingenious gentlemen OF
the law call a monchoiy.
To peep over gentleman's shoulder in

AS for the act of bowling, either at coming

yer see the necessity or proprlety OF 1t. 1t
seems to make no difference between apublic
and private room, and every body knows that
a mlsapplication Of good manners degene-
rates into no manners at all.
But not to be too serious;
In order to preserve proper decency and
de.orum, no ore should loll upon his chair,
or incline too much either to the right hand or
to the left. Because a considerable number
of lollers at the same time, according TO my
rule of pcrspective) makes a very awkward

LAW CASE.


On Monday last, at the Circuit Court of the
United States before Judge Livingston, came
on the Trial of Capt. Nathaniel Williams, Of
the ship William-Tcll, on charge of muir
dcmng upon the high seas, one Christopher
lowell, d seaman on board the said ship.
Counsel for the prosecution, .Messrs. Baldwin
and Sampson for the Defendant Messrs.
Wells, Emmett GARDENER aid Edwards
This interesting trial continued from twelve
O'Clock at noon till eight in the evening. By
that time the innocence of the defendant had
been made so manifest, that his Counsel decli-
ned examining the rest OF his witnesses. and
proposed to submit the cause to the Jury, un-
der the charge of the Court without argu-
ment which being assented to the Judge III
very clear * explicit manner declared that
the indictment had not been supported, tor
that the testimony did not lmpute to the de-
PENDANT - lice of anv kind express or implied {;
and that as to the cause of TOWELS death, not
one witness on behalf of the prosecution was
worth rush That he had fallen victim to
scurvv as the defendant had very satisfactorily
proved.
Upon another indictment against capt. Will
liams for the murder Of another seaman, John
f1utChlrS, the ATTORNEY lux tilo" ~ osetto,
being satisfied Of the impossibili9 of sustaining
the charge, entered a Mile t'rosegui.
The complaint against capt. Williams had
been preferred last November, and he was
committed by the Police Justices. Judge
Livingston however, upon statement OF facts
on behalf of capt. w. being submitted to HIM.
admitted him to bail. Since that time capt:
w. has been with his family in the State OF
Massachusetts. The principal witnesses In
his behalf were, William Mackey, his mate
Jeremiah Shepherd, passenger and superear-
go, and Gibbs West; who had ventured his
life by cening on board the William Tell a.
bout 80 DAYS before the end of her voyage al
though she was then almost wreck. But
