The lolioivmg note was this morn
ing received by the Collector of our
port, from the French vice consul
in this place :—
Savannah, 1st Jan. 1812.
“ The Vice Consul of F» ance, in
Savannah* to Mr. A. S. Bulloch,
Collector of said port of Savannah.
“ Sir,
From the odious encroachment
committed in this city, on the flag &
the subjects of his imperial majesty,
having proved the nullity in which
the French consul is placed ; in order
to fulfil his functions and protect the
French subjects, I have received
orders to retire.
“ When the unwarrantable crime
shall be punished ; when the law pro
tecting strangers will be re-establish
ed, with respect clue by all civilized
nations ; when, finally, the authori
ties of this port will be able to offer
security to vessels, and to the sub
jects of France, it is probable that
I shall be ordered to return and con
tinue my functions.
Your most humble and obedient*
servant,
LE MAROIS.
CSavannah paper.J
From the Freeman's Journal.
The following instance of awful
vengeance, will contribute to show
what N ipnleon will have to en
counter, and the determined resolur
tion he will have to subdue, before
he can bring Spain into that abject
au' c is .ion in which he holds the rest
of continental Europe. I give it, in
substance, from tiie mouth of.a Span-
nil gentleman and distinguished pa-
•ri >t, of unblemished character,
who as-isted in performing the last
sad offices to the introped hercine.
Vheu the town of Naval C irnere,
a out t liny-five mdes south of Ma
il’d, was taken, by tbe troops of the
Imperial Spoiler, among the horrid
butcheries that succeeded, was the
inhuman masacre of the father and
m nher of a lady, named Mariana
,S im iniego. Alter the tumult of
blood and murder, had in some mea
sure, subsided, Gen. Veluci, and six
ol his officers, entering the house of
the above lady, demanded refresh
ment. Probably the resolution then
first struck her mind. In a short
time the meal was ready, and they
prepared to eat, when one of the offi
cers suggested the probability that it
was poisoned, (for sometimes, when
villages were deserted, whole vine
yards were poisoned, and numbers
died by drinking,) but the firm and
fearless Mariana, to avert suspicion,
offered td eat with them, and accord
ingly they all sat down together.
After the meal, Mariana said to
Veluci, 44 You murdered my father
and mother, and in return I have
destroyed you. In a short time you
will all be dead and indeed in a
few hours they all, all expired ; a
dreadful sacrifice lo the maues of
her parents* and the freedom of her
country. But to crown all, the in
trepid Samaniego, soon fell dead a
mong her lifeless guests.
While it is impossible to tnourn
for the fate of the minions of Napo
leon, we cannot but lament the desti
ny of the heroic maid, and heave a
sigh of regret, that a country once
the greatest in the world, should be
come a prty'to rapine, cruelty and
blood.
THE GENEROUS MASK.
A beautiful woman of Bordeaux
mourned for her husband, who had
embarked in a vessel that was ship-
wrecked. Many loVers, attract
ed by her youth and beauty, waited
on her to make her the offer of their
hands, as soon as the news was con
firmed that her husband had perish
ed. The lady observed a great deal
of circumspection in her conduct ;
however, wishing to give an ans.ver
to the offers of her lovers, she invited
them to on entertainment at her house
on one of the last days of the carni
val. They were at play, when an un
known mask, disguised ns a Genius,
prestnted himself, and sat down to
play with thp lady, 1!» lost; he
in,listed up ,ij o aying more, and he
lost again. Fortune went against
him ten or twelve times in success!
on, for he seemed to shake the dice
so that they might turn up against
him. Others ol the players tried
their fortune with him, hut they did
not find their account in it. The
sat down again, and gained an im
mense sum of money, which the
ltiask seemed to lose with an air of
gayety, and apparent pleasure that
astonished the spectators. Some one
said, loud enough to be heard, that
he gave away with prodigality, and
did not play. The mask) raising
his voice* said, that he was the geni
us of riches ; that he cared not for
them, unless he could share them
with die lady ; and that he professed
nothing that he was not willing to
fulfil. As he spoke, he pulled out
several purses * some filled with
gold, and others with diamonds,
which he placed before the lady, pro
posing to stake them against the
mo3t trifling sum she would choose
to hazard. The lady, embarrassed
by this declaration, refused to play.
Theydidnot know what to think
of this adventure, when an old lady,
one of the company, whispered to
her neighbor, that the mask was the
devil, and that his riches, his dress,
his discourse, and his subtilties at
plav, made it evident enough. The
generous player heard it, and pro
fited by it. He assumed the Voice
and manners of a magician. He
spoke of several things that were
known languages, performed many
slight of hand tricks, and concluded
by saying, that he came to demand
one of the company, that had been
given to him ; protested that she be
longed to him, ;lnd that he whs go.
ing to take possession of her, never
more to quit her. Each one regard
ed the lady, who was quite at a loss
what to think of the afTair. The
women trembled, the men smiled,
and the genius continued l*> amuse
himeslf. However, the scene con
tinued long enough to give them
time to send for persons, who be
gan to interrogate the spirit, and
were ready to exorcise him.
The mask turned the whole into
ridicule, with so much spirit, that the
laugh was entirely on his side. At
laftt he threw off his mask, and the
scene was concluded by a cry of
joy from the lady of the house. It
was no other than her husband, who
having gone to Spain, afterwards
went to Peru, where he had become
enriched, and returned to Bordeaux,
loaded with an immense treasure.
He had learned, on his arrival, that
his wile intended giving an enter
tainment to her friends. This favor
able opportunity for disguise had
made him wish to be present at the
entertainment, without being known.
He had assumed for that purpose,
the most fantastical dress he could
find. The assembly, composed of
his relations and friends, congratu
lated him on his happy return, and
left him with his lovely and happy
wife.—Port Folio.

they have amended the Bill sd as to
reduce the proposed number from
25 to 15 or 16,000-—I cannot say
how it will end—-The executive o-
p nion is understood to be in favor
ot the latter or a smaller number 1

giments can be filled and the new aL
so in a very short time, unless en-

FROM ENGLAND
Yesterday morning, the well known
and fast sailing ship Pacific, captaiii
Stanton, arrived off Sandy Hook, in
the very short passage 6f 27 days
from Liverpool, which port she left
on the 21st of November*
Capt. S. sent up a few letters in th4
pilot boat Brothers, one of which the
Editors of the Mercantile Adver
tiser were permitted to peruse, da
ted at Liverpool, Nov. 20th, 1811,
which stated in substance, that 44 the
king of England was alive, but was
very ill; that the Orders in Cow
cil had become very unpopular with
some of its warmest original advo*
cates} and it was expected that when
the Prince Regent came into full
power, the Orders in Council would
be revoked.”
From a Liverpool Price Current if
the 20th November.
“ There is, we think, considera
ble reason to believe, that while we
are precluded Jrom shipments to the
American market, out imports must
ot consequence be so much restrict
ed, as to cause the present prices to
be maintained—We quote upland
cotten 12 a 14d N. Orleans 12 12 a
16 1 2, Sea Island Is. 4d. a Is. Ud
stained 12d. a 15 1 2d. Wheat 15s.
a 15s- (id. per 70 lb. Flour 60 a 63s,
bbl. Pot Ashes, N. York, 40 a 41.
Pearl do. 43 a 44. Tar 30 a 31.
Rice 32 a 35. Staves 30 to 401.-^
The circumstances which have caus
ed the advance in cotton, have like
wise produced a similar effect oa
most other articles of American ex
port.
“ Grain has hefcn progressively ad
vancing throughout the kingdom,
and as the prices appear likely to be
maintained, we think that wheatj
flour, and rice, are deserving of the
attention of our friends. Naval
stores are likely to support the pre
sent prices. But little is doing in
the article of tobacco.
“ There have been rumors fqr
some days of licences to trade being
granted by the French government jr
but we believe the report is without
foundation, or at least, that the tefms
of thfc exchange of commodities will
prevent any material advantage tt>
our markets.
4 ‘ We believe that it is intended
very shortly to make applications to
government for the repeal of the Or
ders in Council.”
Since preparing the above and at
a late hour last night the passenger^
came up from the Pacific, and have
favored the Editors of the Mercao,

ber, and Lloyd’s Lists to the 15th*
