Upon examination they were-found to consist of four letters ; two of wt\>ch were addressed to per sona at that time filling situations in the government of France, and the bthers Cq two ladies. A paper also accompt|nie4’<he letters^ wh<ch were carefully sealed, requesting whoever should find them to forward them to, their respective addresses. Mr. Kdws under these circumstances, as well as in observance of the sentiments which should animate an officer and a gen tleman,, did not feel himself warrant ed in-opening the mysterious papers, but-.carried them in the stau. they wtre found to the Governor of Neyv South Wales, at whose disposal he was anxious _ to place them. The governor, however, considering Lieut-Edwards as best entitled to the mem of the discovery, submitted to him the propriety of transmuting them tt, the British govetn’t. This suggestion was adopted, and Mr. Edwards lonvarded the letters, un opened, with an account of the man- ner.in whichthey were discovered, by the Dromedary store-ship, to his fa- necessary, but where the incentives, to exertion dre sufficiently powerful, it is unnecessary. Levant cottons imported by sea, are subject to a du ty of &V1 francs per quintal—the same by land tb 300 francs. Cotton raised in no other parts, except the Emperor's dominions,ran be export ed by land, a part of Turkey in Eu- ' rope excepted ; consequently cotton produced in every part of the’French dominion, is subject only to a duty of 300 francs. Naples has the ad vantage of importing, subject tb the old duties, and the remainder of the Empire at 300 iranesjper quintal— Americans at 800—and other pow ers at b(X>. Imperative necessity may co'mpel‘the“impo‘rtatiKn'of a (ew articles under, existing duties, but commerce, which always requires encouragement, tf designed to flou rish, must languish and even perish under such oppressive restrictions.

By Bonaparte’s Decree of 1 the 5th of August htst, we may readily dis cover what v are thb prospects of A- mericans respecting their commerce with Europe.' Neither an Embargo, nor a non-intercblTrse can as com pletely exclude us from the trade of the continent, as the oppressive du ties laid on thjT importation of arti cles produced in the United States, and exported for foreign market. If 800 francs per quintal, which t6 about $257 per hundred weight, or 8 2 57 cents per lb. be the duty on the im portation of Cotton, what can the planter expect to receive, when it is considered, that freight and other expences are to be deducted exclu sive of his price ? Had we the privilege of entering the Baltic, we might enjoy at least a partial trade independently of France ; but even this advantage is denied us. Den- maijf commands the entrance into the Baltic—her duties are equally oppressive. Cotton ^/rom Cayenne, BruxijUSurinam and Georgia long staple, are subjept to a duty of ‘800 francs—those from Naples, to former dutigS' Why this difference ? Doubt less fo epcourage the cultivation of Cotton in Italy, the most suitable part of the Emperor’s dominions for its .production. Nothing can more effectually promote commerce in one ? qt and destroy it in another, than r-dsirtroying the balance of duties, be pasty exonerated have not only a premium for their industry, but a certainty that jto other power can ri val.them. Competition is sometimes Despatches from our Minister at the court of St. James have been re ceived by the Secretary of State So late as the 5th November, (three days after the operation of the revo cation by France of her Decrees) “ no step had been taken by Great Britain towards a revocation of her Orders in Council, nor any move orient indicative of a determination jo revoke them.” A letter,from a member of Con grass, dated the 14ih instant, receiv ed in Augusta, says, “ No plan is yet digested in rc gapd to our foreign relations. In the event that the orders and blockades, shall not be revoked, nothing more will be done, in my opinion, than to enforce the non importation act. which takes place On the 2d day of next month. Much, however, will depend on a developement of the po licy of France towards us, which at present is of a doubtful character. “ The question of renewing the Bank Charter will probably be con sidered to-morrow, and I believe its failure is almost certain.” A bill has been before.the Com mittee of Foreign Relations, and was expected to be reported to Con gress on the 15th instant, for carry ing into effect the provisions of the ’act of May last relative to Great- Britain and Frauce. It may there fore be expected, that commercial intercourse between this country and Grcat-Britain will be prohibited after the 2d of February, unless the Orders iu Council shall have been repealed.
