INTERESTING.

'
Aletter from Bermuda, ofthe 28th April,
contains the following extract of a letter
from Mr.. Bills, Chairman of the Court Of
Directors of the East India Company.
He says Notwithstanding the sudden
decline hat has taken place of all articles
of American produce, | would advise you
to retain. Ihave had an explanation with
ministers-there is nothing comprised to his
Majesty's government in the Dispatches by
the schooner Bramble to effect the CONNER
cial interests. The American commission
ers must have full powers to effect even
their temporary interests. Before we can
enter into any kind of negotiations what
ever, they must relinquish their supposed
right of claiming British born subjects by
right OF adoption, but more particularly of
seamen.

not to believe the capture of Paris il was
London news and therefore not entitled to

IN vain longer to deny it
On the arrival a few DAYS since of the

their favourite in power has just been made
at charleston, and those grave gentlemen,
the editors of the National I~ntelligencer,
have been at the trouble to issue a scrap

have oeheld enter our capital the Emperors
OF Germany and Russia and the King OF
Prussla~-as prisoners of war-together with
all their suite composed of twenty thou

The Charleston paper containing this
news is dated " May 20, IL o'clock, n. M "
1t must be recollected that the distance
from Savannah to Charleston is 100 miles,
consequently somewhere near two DAYS
must have elapsed from the receipt of this
letter at the former city until its publica

we have seen a letter from a gentleman O.

and post-marked the 25th of May, which is
entirely silent on the subject, although it
does mention the arrival of the James Mon
ligence in substance, as will be found un
der the Savannah head in a proceeding
column. From these circumstances w,
have not the least doubt but that the Who'll,
is a NEAR fabrication, put in circulation
with a view OF keeping up for a short TIM
