The following is understood to Be the sub
stance of the late regulations in France, in
consequence of the revocation Of the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES, and also as respects the
commerce OF the United States.
American vessels sequestcred in the ports
of France since the Cd of November last are
released.
American vessels, coming from the United
States and laden with the produce of the u
nited States, will be admitted and received
in all the ports of France, on payment of the
legal duties. Their cargocs must be accom-
panied with certificates of origin delivered by
the French cOnsuls; and the vessels must in
return take an equal value in French, wines,
silks and other manufactures in certain fixed
proportions.
Tobacco is not prohibited but that article
being under special direction, it must on
its arrival be deposited and it greater guam
titles arrive than the direction (regie) can
purchase, the transit through France to Ger
many and other European countries will be
permitted.
Sugar, coffee, cocoa, and other colonial
Erofacfs arc admitted only in vessels having
Permissions for that purpose.

The brig Logan, Capt. Hammett, arrived
1T Boston on Saturday evening from Lisbon,
bringing file e Portuguese papers to the l1th
June. They arc the latest that have been re-
ceived, and give, besides the official detail Of
events, already known here, the following re-
cent operations:
:" That the greatest part of the French ar
my under Marshal Soult, had retired for
Llcrcna, maintaining the advanced posts of
ITS cavalry at Usagre; that on the 18th May,
a body OF the cavalry Of the allies, under
General Lumley, had brilliant affair with
the enemy's cavalry ut Usagre, in which the
French were defeated with great loss; that
the siege of Badajoz was prosecuting with vi
Sor; and that breaches had been made in
tort St. Christopher, and the eastern side of
the Castle that Massena's army had sudden
y denied from Tormes, on the Sd June, and
were taking direction towards the fords of
the Tagus, in New Castile''
The above particulars are from the dcs-
patches Of Lord Wellington, dated on the 3Oth
May and 9th June, at Gramicha. The lat
ter movement IS evidently intended to afford
some relief to Soult, whose only security is to
get INTO the interior of the country, with the
hope fbeing joined BY Massena's army, or
eventually OF shutting himselfup in Seville.
Bat Le IN Me1ico.-Capt. Head, of the brig
Cosnlopohte, arrived at this port yesterday,
in 33 days from CampeachY, informs that
there had been hard fought battle in Mexi-
co, between the Government troops and the
revolutionists, in which the former were de-
feated with great loss.
Capt. ii. further states, that 500 volunteers
had embarked on board two transports at
Campeachy, which were to sail in few DAYS
for Mexico, to join the Kings forces.

The following extracts from the London
Courier, agree so exactly with the para
graphs in the British prints in America,
that we conclude they flow from the same
common polluted source.
l. "War with America is her own seek
ing-and on her head be all the guilt and
shame of it.
3. Ii she links herself in unnatural ALI
ance with France, &c. on her head be the
crime and the punishment of so monstrous a
policy. Not that it comes upon us unexpect-
edly--she allied herself in sentiment with
BonaParte when she viewed with indiHer-
ence his Infamous invasion of Spain.''
To analyze such stuff, would afford some
amusement Their worships pass over Bri-
fish pillage, impressment and murder, as no
provocations and then, forsooth John Bull
is to punish us for our sentiment ;"-for
not going to war in favour of the Inquisition
Wing.

a Destructive ERE,

Broke out in long range of wooden stables
near the market, in .NeW6uyrytiort, on the
night of May 81, which spead most rapidly
through the adjoining streets, which were
the centre of commerce. Its ravages have
been great in State-street, Market-square,
Mechanics-Row, Pleasant-street, Middle
street, Water-street, Centre-street, Liberty
street, &c. There has, perhaps, never
been a fire in this country attended with such
accumulated devastation, and such general
distress, as the late conhagration in New
bu rryport. The loss of property in goods
and real estate, cannot be estimated at less
than two millions and it is presumed that
many hundreds of individuals are left COM
pletely destitute of house or home, or the
means OF procuring support for their wretch
ed families"
In the list of houses burnt, VIC perceive the
Post Office and Custom House, in State
street.
Circumstances, says, Mr. March, (who
communicates the account to the Boston
Gazette) justify suspicion that this has been
the work of an insendiary." d.
