A private letter from Paris, dated J w e 24, received in the Cit) via Holland, ftates, that the rapid return of the. French Emperor to St. Cloud from Compiegne, was oqcaffioned by intelligence fent to him exprefs by the Minifter fOr Foreign ^AlFair^^ in confcquencc of the arrival of couriers from Peterfburgh and Vienna. J t was othetwife his intuition to have vifited the Coaft. T; ‘ Letters were on Ayfednefday re-ceived by a TefpeCtable Marcantile Houfe in the ci|yj ftating that a large Danifh fhip fuppofed to be laden .with Britifh goods^ has been cap tured in the Mediterranean by the enemy, and fent Into Leghorn. This affair, It is not .unlikely, will caufc fdme cxplanauan to be demanded of the French Government by the Court ofDenm.ark; though in thepfefent ftate of Continental Politics, it would be vain to look for any importannt refult, however fal lacious the pretence upon which the feizure alluded to was made. Ju’y 7 - It is highly obfervable, that, in the fpirlted remonffrance of the emperor of Ruffia, re- fpeding the arreft and affallination of the duke D’Enghein, at»d the violation of the German territory, jhe fpeaks of the Ufurper only by his quonfim title of the Firft Cohful. The departure of general,.Hoiideville, the French Amhaffador, f^om Peterfburgh, which is fuiiy confirmed by the laft rnails,, is anoth er fymptom of the growing diffatisfadlion with which RulTia and France at prefent re- <;ard each other. Thefe circucnftances coming in adciition.tothe reports of the ftrojag arma ments which Ruffia has in motion at Cron- ftadt and at Corfu, induce fome of our co te mporafjes to believe that an immediate war between the two powers is inevitable. To this inference how^ever, we cannot poffibly affieot;. TheEmperor Alexander may afliime a port of lofty difdain towards ?wosiUike brother Na- P^J^^fl-which the iaite.r may hibft acutely feel, but, which he has not themeans to relent. On the other haml, the cold policy of Cather- irc, though fubverted for a time by the de ranged ambition of Pauh is ffill prevalentin the Gabindt.of St. Peterfburgh. The difpo- fitiori of the Emperor Alexander we believe to be great and magnanimous. It is the du ty of our Minifters to avail .themfelvcs of his fentiments, which, in proportion as they arc adverfe to France muft be favourable to this country. It wquld demonftrate a ftratige want of prudence indeed, if, ihough equal in ourfelves to the conteft, we fhould refufe or neglect to avail ourfelves of an efficient co^ operation. July 14.

It was always one of the moft flattering of the promifes made to the people by the demo crats, that as fqon as they got into power this unfortunate and infulted clafs of men fhouUi command their eariieft attention. T h e y would foon take meafures to ftop the impreli- ment of t iis uffefui and abufed and nieiiuni- ous C:afs of our fellow citizens.

N o , they/have not forgotten it but iliey have indeed poftponed it, as yea (hail hear— On the 27th of February laft, a bill was brought into the Senate of the United Siaies, providing for the “ Protection qf the Anitri- can feamen.” Now you are to recollecl, that a great majority of the Senate are true, ftaunch democrats* the very men who prom- ifed to do forhuen for American Tiilors—the bill, therefore, paffed, you think, without ai.y difficulty. Lo ! the firft thing we hear is, that Mr. Nicholas, one of the Senators from, Virginia, that ftate fo very friendly to cem- merce,- and of courfe to failors, got up, auvl moved to poftpone the further ccnfideraikm of the bill rill the firft Monday in ------ De cember next ! This motion was advocated by the democratic Senators from Georgia and Tenneffee, and paffed in the affirmative of two to one, wanting a fingle vote. Thus, afpr nine years of continual clamor, the firft moment a motion is.made on the fub- jefl, the ftate of Virginia has the bill thrown under the table. And how do the democrats prote^ American commerce arid American feamen ? Ihey difmantle our infant navy ^ they difmifs the beft commanders, and tarn adrift the failors by management, they force the able ft fea-officer in the country to with draw from the fervice, and live in ictivcmciit,, and as a complete defence againft the imprelT- ment of American Teamen by the Engliih fleets, and their capture, impriTonraent, and death by the French, they fend forth Gun- Boat No. I, with a two & thirty pounder in- her ftern.
