Between Dungeness and Dover, a.
bout half past 10 at night, observed a
small sail la shore Of US, hauling up on
our larboard quarter. AT quarter be-
fore IL, perceived she was three mas
ted Lugger, and soon after hailed US in
broken English, where have you
come FROM" answered from Boston.
$ Are you an AMERICAN 7" l an
swered, ! AM.-They then ordered us
10 heave too, and instantly began firing
musqnetry, which they repeated, volley
after volley in consequence of which
all the people and the pilot left the
deck, with stearing sails flying, and our
hawlyards, sheets and braces cut away
by the shot. They then attempted
boarding, but missing their grapplings,
they shot ahead, and commenced firing
musquetry again, making second at
tempt, in which they likewise missed !;
they then got out small boat, and a.
bout fifteen men came on board, with
cutIasses and pistols, and drove the two
mates and myself down the companion
way, placing two men over us, and put
ting ost all the lights they then at
tempted making sail on the ship, but
not knowing what to do, with sails fly-
ing in all directions, some of the yards
braced aback, and some forwards, they
found it impossible to get steerage way
on the ship: At a quarter past IL, the
privatser fired three muskets, and they
began Immediately clearing away the
boat from the stern, which perceived
from the windows, and in few
minutes saw the boat full of men, leav-
ing the ship, and Immediately jumping
on deck, found they had left US. AT
this time cutter commenced firing on
the privateer, and chased her over to
the coast of France. The confusion
they had put the ship in, made it some
time before we could get sail upon her,
when we bore up, and in about two
hours came too in the Downs.
The privateersmen in the boat soon
found her filling with water, (for the
plug was out) and instead of going over
TO the French coast, were obliged to
run ashore at Folksfone, Seven attem-
pied to swim from the boat, and were
drowned eight got on shore, and were
made prisoners blythe cenlinel on the
beach,"
The above men were put on board

LATE FROM ENGLAND.

ne snip OTOlt, arrived at ~. YORK,
on Monday last, brought London pa
pers to August the 2sth. Their con-
tents are not very interesting. The
Squadron under the command Of Sir
Joseph Yorke, the sailing Of which ex-
cited so much alarm in this country
from the accounts that its destination
was Halifax, had returned to Ports
mouth. Its stated, It's destination was
to cruise in the latitude Of the western
Isles, for the homeward bound China
feet, which has reached England in
safety.
The Little Belt after having been re-
paired at Halifax had arrived in Eng
land.
AT the last dates, The King was alive,
but no hopes were entertained ofhi re-

hopeless.
II was reported, Parliament would
convene the last of October to take off
the restrictions on the Regent, when it
was expected some changes would take
place in the Ministry.
The French fleets in Toulon and
Antwerp are ready, and have lately
been maneuvring as tho their intention
was to put to sea as soon as the Brit
ish ships leave their station---an event
likely soon to take place, as they have
experienced much bad weather. The
French have in these ports, at Goree,
and in Texel IS sail of the line.
Bonaparte has granted to 100 French
vessels now loading in his ports, Licen-
ces to trade with England.
Amongst the passengers in the
Orbit is an intelligent gentleman, who
has been travelling for two years on the
continent. He informs that the dis
tressed situation of the people of Ger
many beggars all description. The
oppressive French system he thinks,
must ere long produce revolution in
every country under the dominion OF
tina tyrant Napoleon, for symptoms Of
disafection are visible in every quar-
ter"
The late accounts from Cadiz are not
very favourable, owing it is said to a

before the place,is estimated at is 900

SIR,
Ibaye had the honor to receive your letter
Of the 22d of this month and to lay 1t before
the President.
The assurance which you have given of
your disposition TO reciprocate, III our COM
munications on the important subjects depend
inc between our governments the respectful
attention which each has right to claim, and
that no departure from it was intended In your
letter of 26tA July.hss been received with the
satisfaction due 10 the frank and Conclliatory
spirit in which it was made.
learn, however, with much regret, that
you have received no instructions from your
government founded on the new proof OF the
revocation of the Berlin and Milan DEGREES,
which was communicated TO the Marquis OF
Wellesley by the American Charge deS Al
flares at London, in document OF which
had the honor to transmit to you copy. 1t
might fairly have been presumed, as have
before observed, that the evidence afforded
BIZ that document, of the complete revocation
ofthose DEGREES, so far as they intcrfered with
the commerce OF the United States with the
British don,inions, would have been followed
by an immediate IT peal ofthe orders IN coun-
cil. From the reply OF the Marquis OF Wei
lesley, it was d, least to have been expected
that no time had been lost III transmitting that
document TO you, and that the instructions &C
conpanying it would have manifested achange
in the sentiments OF your government on the
subiect rhe regret therefore cannot but be
Increased IN finding that the communication
snich had the honor to make TO you, has not
eSea had the effect of suspending your efforts
IA v;Idicate the perseverance OF your govern
melt N eaforCing those orders.
Eregret also to observe, that the light In
which YOU have viewed this document, and
the remarks which you have made on the SUD-
iect generally. seem TO preclude any other
view oithe conditions on which those orders are
to DC revoked, than those that were furnished
by YOUR former communications. You still
adhere to the pretenuon that the productions
and manufactures Of Great Britain, when neu-
tr.iizcd. must be admitted INTO tue ports OF
vourenemies. This preteniion, however vague
the language heretofore held by your govern
ment, particularly by the Marquis OF Welles-
lev. IN MS Communicates with Mr.. Pink
ney, on the subject, was never understood to
have been embraced. Nothing indeed short
OF the the specific declarations which you have
made would have induced belief that such
was the case.
/ have the honor to be, &c. &c.
