vessel TO load and he knew where lie could
send her so as to clear six dollars per barrel
on -four; for that -four at this period could
be purchased here at eight dollars and might

tear entertained respecting the dissolution Of

yout That 100000 dollars are loaned to the
people of this district by the bank OF the u.

Tnns!nIOa.

SIR,
Since our last conversation relative 20 the
certificates Of origin given by the Consuis Of
H. NJ. in the United States, have collected
and read over the different orders Of my
Court on that subject, and asked OF the
Consul General Of France those which he
might have received directly on this part of
the service, 40 essential for the SECURITY of
your expectations.
1t results from the instructions which
have received directly, and from those that
have been sent 20 the Consul Cen9lal, that
the Consuls of ii. NJ. in the u. States do
not deliver, nor must not hereafter deliver,
under any pretext, any certificate Of origin
to American vessel, destined for any port
other than those of France thst they deliv-
e: them, and will deliver them hereafter TO
all American vessels destined for The ports
of France. loaded only with tie produce of
the u. States that all the certificates ante
rior to the last instructions attributed to the
Consul5 OF II. NJ. and which it il pretended
were given for colonial produce, Inst evil
IDENTIFY came from Englaed, have been chal-
lengcj as false, (argues Dc faux inasmucb

pronounced, Of fAvoring the commercial re-
lstiOns between France and the United
States in sli the objects of traffic, Which
shall evidently proceed from their sgricul-
ture and manufactures.
You will readily perceive, Sir, that in
giving this latitude 10 the mutually adyan-
tageous relations Of the two friendly 2eople,
the Emperor cannot depart from the system
Of exclusion against English commerce,

An additional message was received

5000 copies OF the documents commu-
niCGted by the president this day were
ordered TO be Printed.--At half past 3

day are Of more importance than any
thing which has appeared before the

be happy to forward copies were it
practicable, but it is imtossi5le--I can
not get 4 chance to read them, much

in full force and virtue, IS under the
present DEGREES many Of the produces
Of America (such as cotton and tobac-
COZ were prohibited the French ports,
and that on other articles the duties
were SO high as 10 amount 10 prohibi-

From me CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Capt. DYER, from the Cane Coed
Hohe, says the loss Of the British Fri
gates,' sc. at MaurHRs, was owing 10
the unexpected arrival Of three French
Frigatcs of the Isle Of France the day
the British forces entered, and who
captured the Vessels which would
have escaped after the first frigste got
OF shore and it vas found the Island
meant 10 make a vigorous resistance.
Ii was from the circumstance ofthosc
French Frigates being out that they
feared the Capture Of Admiral Bzn-
TIE, who left the Cape in a singlc fri
gate. These accounts being received at
the Cape induced the Decentralization
ofthe troops at False Bay, TO wait the
arrival of the reinforcement from En-
gland.
Great fears we're entertained Of pro-
perty al Bourbon.
