"I wrote you few days ago, announcing
to you ny arrival here ia twcpsy eight days.
The markets continue very bad, there was a
sudden rise in cotton few days ago, the best
Louisiana having sold Tor 2o5f the 100 lbs.
but it has fallen again and we have now no
price. The English have been buying up
large quantities in the South of France, and
if wba, is reported is true that this govern
ment have made treaty OF commerce with
England, in which the manulatured coilons
of that county will be received here and
French silks admitted into England, our trade
will suffer to this country, as the English
merchant will undersell the man uiacsorer OF
France, and thus that branch which was be-
coming very fourishing here will decay.
1t is with great pain that state TO you how
unpopular we are IN this county with tho
Royal party. We are forbid wearing our
Eagle, and 1t is dangerous for aa American
10 be seen as such at the Theatres, where the
English airs, 4" God save the King" aud " Rate
Brtfansta" are sung every e'eniDG with ap-
pleuse.
enclose you piece which appeared here
the other day agains, Us, and copy OF an
answer said TO be written by our Consul, Mr..
Lee. One OF our CiIizeDs, Mr.. Sasportas, of
CDarlestor, D. {. had quarrel some days
since az the Theatre with Royaiist, who
called HIM out The next day. When he came
on The ground, he found several people there
with bis antagonist some OF them were Of
the Royal Guard ia uni(or m they all fell on
him wiIh sticks and swords, and CO, and maui.
ed him in shocking manner. Mr.. Sasportas
is in bed with his wounds, and though our
Consul has applied 10 all the auihorities, no
justice can be obtained, and this assassin
walks about the streets, and Is complimcnted d
for killing jaco6in .fmerie0n :
At the head of this faction opposed 10 the
Americans, are several OF the English and
Irish houses Of this city. The young men of
which houses ran of to America in the time
of Napoleon to avoid the conscripticn, and
were there treated with Kindness, which they
now repay by heading the Royals,s against
us.
This party have threatened to pull down
the arms over the door of our Consul, and
they Nave attempted by threas to force him
to haul down the American flag and hoist the
white one. Not succeeding in this, they en-
deavored to force him to hoist the white flag
ground and kept up bis own colors and arms,
which with the illumination of his house he
said was sufficient.
Many Of the Americans are forced to serve
in the National Guard, and to do service in
the palace. Your friend Mr.. Andrews, re-.
fused, and four soldiers were sent to arrest
him, but he fed TO the Consuls house, who
protected him, and demonstrated against the
violence Of the measure with success.
Vipe les .fngiais--a bos les Americans, is the
cry to be heard every day here but these
things will change before long. L, is impos-
sible Aey should remain in this state. AT

brains out, as the Paris papers say. AT Toul.
