I'm the list of contraband which it recogni-

gress. We therefore presume that she was
not captured under the pretext of her hav-
ing contraband goods on board Her cargo
was legal it was owned by American mer-
chants, chiefly by Maj. Bays himself The
capture was an Infringement of the neutral
rights OF America: & if allowed by condem-
nation, as we hope it will not be, we shall
consider the Berlin decree to have been re-
Sived. We are glad to find that the Amer
ican shipper had the patriotic precaution to
ascertain before his vessel was cleared out.
that her cargo was strictly legitimate.

The loan authorised by the late act Of congress
will not be more than half filled up This is said to
have been produced by an impression that another
would shortly be offered at S,per cent. Mr.. Gala
TN IN his report appeared sensible of this at the
commencement OF the session & recommended that
the government should not be tied down as 20 rate
OF interest. Should A new loan at such an advance
OF interest be authorized, honor and policy would
dictate the extension of the two additional per cent
to those who have been so liberal as 10 come for
ward at lower rate OF interest than is common to
the meanest banking institutions The propriety OF
dout'.ns the expenditures recommended by the
president and reported by the committee of for
eisn relations begins to appear more obvious.

that since the French persist he is reduced to the
painful necessity Of retaiadng their conduct. He
declares that in the provinces Of Murcia list. There
shall be no quarter given to French officers or SOL
