Mr. Forbes, the American consul in Ham burgh, has made it known to his countrymen, that American vessels have full liberty to sail from the Elbe, in ballast, or with such mer chandise as is not prohibited, certified us such by him.

Captain Chase arrived at New-York from St. Vincents, informs, that the town of Grena da was burnt down on the 9lh April.—Charles ton paper. The cargo of the Prussian ship Louisa, Haves’ captured on her passage from Baltimore to Amsterdam, was restored to the claimants on the 3d of March, by the court of admiralty, • on the payment of the captors expences incud sed in taking examinations and depositions,—.A. One hundred and fifty-four American ves rels arrived at Liverpool, in England, from the first of December, 1806, to the 21st of March, 1807. On the 14th of February there ware 137 American vessels at Liverpool.— ibid. The London Times, of the 21st of March, contains the following articles : “ The gales ol wind which destroyed the Ig nitor., fire-vessel ; Prospero, bomb ; and we fear others of his majesty’s ships, made a wreck of no less than 55 vessels, between Cape D’Aipre and Dieppe ; to the latter place be tween two and three hundred English, who •were saved, have been marched prisoners. The gale of the 18th of February will be an epoch among naval men, lamentably memora ble to those who are, or may be stationed off the coast of France. “ Boulogne exhibits a singular appearance to those who have been accustomed to recon noitre it during the present war. Not long since, it was the depot of all the best and finest troops in Bonaparte’s army ; now there is not an appearance of u formed soldier in the place ; merely a very few conscripts of the depart ment. Lately, the position was deemed of the utmost importance, and shells were thrown even on the possibility of their reaching our cruisers ; now the batteries, whenever they have occasion to work them, arc manned by a few sailors from the flotilla, which is at present dismantled. The vessels from Ambleteuse and Vimereux have escaped into the harbour of Boulogne, no doubt for the purpose oi being BAD HABITS. There is an obstinacy in bad habits which renders it difficult to throw them off, or alter them to advantage-—the steady habits of Con necticut arc of that cut. In England thev arc so much in the. habit of considering the U. S. as English dependent rchmiis , that a Livcapcol price current, thus remarks on the article of cotton : Foreign cottons arc lower in importation than American This however is not wonderful, for the prints forwarded from our sea ports to England, and they are about three to one of that cast, are as much British in their publications as if they were actually written and printed at the ex - per.se of the English cabinet—on every occa sion at English, Scots, and other clubs—the first toast is “ the king.'’ as if there was only one king, and our ebuntry a kingdom ; in the same spirit wc see articles of news couched in this royal and courtly style—“ his majesty’s ships”.—"• his majesty’s navy”—“ his majesty’s army”—“ his majesty’s order in council,” fee. &c. the addition of Britannic or British is nev er thought ofi It is not therefore Wonderful that there should be persons in England dupes enough to this infatuation, to believe that the Executive of the United States would receive such an in c.nmbvance of dishonor as v.'ns attempted to he foisted on us by the lute article called by way of distinction a treaty. But in the notice wf the cotton it is worthy of remark, that Drwrara a colony actually in possession of the British is ranked as foreign, while the United Mutes are reckoned as Br it ish or Domestic ; J)emrra>-a, they are witling to give up at a peace; but they sicken at the notion of ever .1 .indorsing America, hoc!.- or La crook. They ! -aguish nf.er America almost as much uc Ccq-gc 111. after Uur.cocr ; we have heard some to ties net very ler.g rgc, dwell with some delight on an old Jacobite tune, which begins or ends with this line : “ And the king win have hr; own again.” The burthen of this song was that the house of Stuart was to have England again ; the ,srr- L'ility which is inseparable from the humiliat ing obedience of men to monarchs, lenders tl:e transfer of serviiitv always easy ; general Frazer who was killed at Saratoga, was (lie loy al subject of George 111. though his Ether was the famous lord Lovett, who was belteaded ior his stedfast attachment to the principles of he reditary succession and the house ot Stuart. f i:h us the terks all range under whatever party they find assuming ai library power-—or approaching to the old lory or Jacobite notions o f gov e rn m e nt . —Au rare..

Ch vrlestov, May 12. Captain Taylor, of tne brig William and Mary, trom Amsterdam, arrived yesterday, in forms, that reports pt evaded there a few davs before his sailing, that the emperor of France and king of Italy was expected at Berlin ; and that on the Bth of March an action took place between the French and Russians, which was represented to have been very sever, 15,000 men having been left dead on the field. It 1 was, however, doubtful who had gained the vic | tory. During the actioo.it was •fcserted, that i fi*:: French bud lost several general officers and wr.3 obi’gsci lo retreat.

The dispatcher, which government received from Ireland on Saturday last, arc stated to be of a very Unfavorable nature: the counties in the north arc in a state ol awful discontent. Never, indeed, did the country requite a more delicate tnar.-genient.
