WEDNESDAY MORNING, 0cto6sr SO.

The Foreign Intelligence by the arrival at
Newly rl brings very little to interest the
politician. We are glad to fnd, however,
that il contains no confirmation of the account
so positively given in the London Courier,
early in September, that measures OF retaila-
ton against this country would be adopted by
the British government Yet II such mea-
sure as the prohibition of cur produce had
been adopted, as stated, we do not see that 1t
must OF course nave produced war ltwou.d
be a Nor intercourse regulation, Z system
Of internal policy which we have urged our
own right, and that of every other nation, to
pursue at pleasure: we therefore could not
consistently make it q pretext for war; altho'
our men Of gar would have rurg it in the
ears of the nation as untleniable proofo the
inrefcrate hostility Of the British government
towards Us.
Another proof of the correctness OF the
English journals will be found in Tie inso-
lent paragraph respecting the trigate Presi-
dent. Ii is incredible that the Editor OF
London paper can be SO extremely ignorant
as that article might lead some TO suppose.
The whole of it was fabricated BY thewriter
merely for the purpose &C venting his spleen.
There arc war-hawks in England as well as
in America.
Should the report lie wcll-foundcd, that Be-
nsparte has demanded Si,esia Of the king Of
Prussia, even the nominal reign Of the Latter
may be considered as drawing to close.
His fall will not be regretted, since it will
add little if any thing 10 the power Of b.
nspartc, who is at present virtually the sove-
reign OF Prussia. Her nonarch's overthrow
will be lust punishment FOR the treachery to
which it is probably owing that Europe now
groans under the Corsicans yoke.
Of Affairs in Spain * Portugal, our accounts
are but limited. Indeed, the state of things
in those countries has long been political
Stumbling block That Bonaparte could ac-
coSnplish his views ina short time, if he Sc
riously undertook the business, appears tob
generally admitted; even some OF the Br1-
fish prints seem to look upon the cause as
hopeless. Why then does Bonaparte delay
Does he really think it his best policy to draw
out the resources of the British government
by continental campaigns !? Would not the
Latter be On their guard against such ascheme!
Or have they gone too far to retreat without
disgrace Has the French Emperor other
projects in contemplation! Is there pro-
liability of another coalition against him /? Or
does he propose to harrass the patriots of the
peninsula, until, broken down by protracted
warfare without the prospect of close, they
will fall an easier prey? All these things are
possible; but whatever may be the fact, the
crae,ties exercised by Bonaparte's destroying
legions in Spain and Portugal must forever
render the French name detestable among
those gallant people,

HAMBuReH, Sept. J..
We remain in the same disagreeable pre-
dicament as belore-No business going for
ward, and we cannot stir without being watch
ed by our present government. The fne
buildings here called Fimbeckne, where all
the wines are deposited belonging TO the,
States, has been taken possession OF by the
French, and converted into prison. The
other day a large quantity of merchandise
coming from Switzerland was taken by the
French in this neighborhood, and the owners
were Obliged to pay 81 per cent. to have their,
goods returned. A:current report prevails,
tia: Bonaparte has demanded OF the king OF
Prussia, Silesia if SO, adieu that unfortunate
monarch.

The indignation expressed by the Englisi,
Editor at the appointment of Joel Barlow, is
natural enough. They cannot think highly Of
a man who was so jealous for the destruction
Of all crowned heads, and of the British mo-
march in particular. And in truth, unless the
Great Napoleon considers Barlow as great a
bypocsite as himself, he cannot regard our
ri.yfniilg ambassador with vcry favorable eye.

From Petersburg, under the date of the

OF such ships as shall arrive in any of the
ports OF Russia are to be examined and
decided upon by the Governor. or superior
officer at such port, by which The necessi-
~ of sending such papers to St Petersburg,
will IN future be dispensed with, and the in
fluence of the French party rendered nuga-
tory. The authorities are to decide on ships
in ballast in three days, and on such as
have cargoes the time is extended to eight
days letter from Petersburg also states,
that the Emperor had issued Decree. an

qGence OF the hourishng condition of the

cree of the2d OF Feb. last year and also
taking offthe capitulation tax of so copecks
per head, on aPpanages and seignoraI es-
states. Tne real state of the case doubt
less is, that taxation in Russia has reached
its maximum and that if the government
had attempted to increase the imposts, the
revenue, instead of being bettered, must
have been diminished.

Government have reached the highly
gratifying intelligence OF the capture and
DIES ruction of the whole OF the rear guard of
the French army, under the command OF
Marshal Ney, who is himself among the
prisoners. The action which terminated
IN this glorious achievement, took place on
the BIS uitimo, and was fought by the Bri-
tish and Portuguese troops under the COM
mand of Marshall Beresford. The French
re-rguard unde, Ney, originally consisted of
$4,000 men, but by the previous captures
& furnishes had been reduced to 5000,
being he number taken OH the glosious slst
OF March.
Marshal Beresfo had co.pperated in so
mastery manner with Lord WelliDgton's
army, that Ney found it impossible any
longer to continue his retreat, and was there
fore cut off from the main body.
