BAYONNE, July 31.
Every thing on our shores wears a Warlike
aspect. We are in daily expectation of seeing
I'i each troops who are to form an army of
10 000 men, for the purpose of c * pelting Por
tugal to shut her ports against the English.
PARIS, August 6.
Letters from Hamburgh state, that a Russian
squadron is to join the Danish fleet, in order to
shut the Sound against the English. It is said,
that for the same purpose a corps of French
troops is to proceed to Denmark, to act in con
cert with the court.
The Cardinal of York bequeathed, a short
time before his death, to the king of Sardinia,
all his jewels, worth about foil- million of francs,
and his title and -claim to the crown of Great
Britain.
I he king of Holland is now at Tarascon, and
drinks the water of Uffat. He is much better.
The Queen is at Cauterets, where she drinks
the waters of that place. The prince Beneven
to, and the secretary, Marret, arrived hereon
the first.
A letter from Copenhagen, dated July 18,
says, “ The council of war has not yet decided
upon the fate of the pmcqnils and accomplices
in the late troubles which ha\ 4f}akcn place in
that capital. It is prosecuting its inquiries with
activity. The regiment of cavalry of Zealand,
stationed in the suburbs, continues to send pa
roles into the city.”
li is said that the marshals cf the empire,
commanding the different corps of the grand
army, are named dukes, and receive their titles
from estates in Poland, which they are entitled
to sell, and exchange for others in France. The
genei.ds Walter and Savary will obtain the
same favour. M. Champagny, the minister of
the interior, will also be created a duke.
The peace has been promulgated in all the
cities of the empire with the greatest solemni
ty, and amidst unanimous and loud repeated
cries ot —long live Napoleon tile great! Eve
ry wheie the public joy and gratitude have
been manifested by spontaneous illuminations,’
and devices and descriptions suited to the oc
casion.
August 8.
A deputation from the senate, with the pre
sident Lacepede at their Ifead, and both the
Praetors, with the marshal duke of Dantzic,
and M Clemen de His, went yesterday to St.
Cloud, to congratulate the king o l Westphalia,
A deputation from the Tribunate was also ad
mitted to an audience of his majesty.’
LONDON, August 12.
A mail from Gottenburgh arrived yesterday.
The private letters by this conveyance state,
that the emperor Alexander arrived at Pcters
burgh on the 17th ult. but that his arrival was
not announced by any discharge of cannon, or
any other demonstration of joy. The mail con
tains an account of the military operations at
Stralsund to the 22d ult. but we had previously
received accounts so late as the 30th, at which
time the fortress had not surrendered. The Ger
man legion did duty for tire first time on the 21 st.
On the same day lord Cuthcart left Stralsund
for Rugen.
The private IcTirsbY the Tonningen mail
which arrived on Monday evening, state, that
the recent proceedings inspire hut little confi
dence in th adherence of Russia to the inter
ests of Great-Britain; and indeed, the circum
stances imparted by Mr. secretary Canning, in
the house of commons on Monday evening,
have considerably damped the hope of those
among us, who, on the first blush of the sub
ject, expected from the Russian overture a
pacific result. The friendly intentions mani
fested towards this country in one of the arti
cles of the tieaty between Russia and Fiance,
have, from circumstances w hich remained to be
explained, been suffered to remain a dead let
ter in respect to us, who were the declared
object of it. We cannot help observing, that
Bonaparte, far from having lost sight of Ills
favorite object of hostility against Great-Britain,
appears by the last letters from the comment
to be mo e intent than ever on the establish
ment of anew law of nations, securing the
lineity of the seas and the‘independence of
every flag Whether Russia will ultimately
be induced to enter into these interested views
of Bonaparte against the naval supremacy of
Great-Britain, is a question upon which we are
at present of withholding our opinion.
The continental politicians, however, are less
backward in pronouncing their decisions upon
this subject: and it is even asserted, that so de
termined is Napoleon upon die universal recog
nition ol his favorite principle, that the French
troops will remain in Germany until the full
accomplishment of his object.
The passengers who came over in the last
packet from Tonningen, state, that previously
to the sailing of the packet, an express had ar
rived, with instructions for ail the English ships
lying at Tonningen, to proceed down the river,
below tire battery. This is considered as a pre
cautionary measure to secure the shipping, in
Case the French should by force or stratagem,
got possession of tlie battery which commands
the navigation of the Eyder.
A letter from St. Petersburg, dated July
5. (14)says,-‘In consequence of the non-renewal
of the tieaty of commerce between Russia and
England, and of some recent laws passed here
respiting foreigners, it is my intention to leave
this country immediately. Some of our nier
comts here have thought proper to become
what i, called foreign guests, and to pay for it
a tax of 1 400 roubles pet’ annum ; but 1 have
judged it prudent to quit until a change for the
letter takes place.”
A Russian officer arrived at Milan on the
Istii ui’. brought ordets from his sovereign for
the cessation of hostilities between the Turks
and Ruosiuhs, in the Adriatic and McditcTfan
eau.
Bonaparte, not content with revolutionising
the continent, appears now resolved to revolu
tionise the heavens. The university of Lcip
sic has resolved that the stars in the sword and
girdle of Orion shall be m future called, “ The
Stars of A r a/ioleon.”
Letters of a late date, we understand, vverg
yesterday received from IJuenos-Ayres. The
greatest apprehensions prevail there that
place would be shortly attacked by our forces.
Most of the inhabitants had retired into the
country, few’ remaining except such as could
assist in defending the place. The Spaniards,
it is said, were resolute in their determination
to resist our troops to the last.
The British ships which were at Tonningen
were, on the 7th, by the commander of the
Sparkler gun-brig, lying in the Eyder, ordered
to proceed immediately to Yarmouth.
The convoy from the Humber for Tonnin
gen has been countermanded.
Os course the commander of the Sparkler
gun-brig, must have received sonic intelligence
of a hostile intention on the part of the Danish
government—for no French troops vvefe near
Tonningen. The French have not yet. at least
no information has been received to that effect,
entered the province of Holstein. Tonningen
is in the province of Schleswin. Bernadette,
according to the last Tonningen Marl, was at
Kcil, in Holstein, where the prince royal of
Denmark was, to whom, it was generally believ
ed, he had carried a message from Bonaparte.
It may he, that in consequence ofth. t message,
measures have been determined upon to ex
clude our trade from the Danish pin ts, and to
stop such ships as were in those ports.

Mr. Sheridan’s motion on the state of lie
land came on last night, and was negatived up
i on a division by a majority of 76 to 33.
I King Joseph has passed a decree, compcl-
I 1 ling the agents of all the proprietors of lands in

DIFFERENCES WITH AMERICA.
The following resolution and circular letter
have been drawn up by the American Chamber
of Commerce of Liverpool:—
At a general and very numerous meeting of
the members of this association, held this day,
it was
Resolved unanimously , That the following
circular latter, prefixed to this resolution, be
printed, and that the Vice-President (in the
absence of the President) he requested to sign
the same, on behalf of the American chamber
of commerce in Liverpool, and to transmit a
copy thereof to Philip Sansom, esq. chairman
of the committee of Ameican merchants in
London.
[circular.]
Sir—A meeting of the members of the A
- chamber of commerce, at this port,
has been convened this day, for the purpose of
Staking into consideration the present serious
and critical state of affairs, as relating to the
intercourse between the British empire and the
1 United States of America.
| When it is considered Low essentially the
| vital interests of both the countries are con
| ccrncd in a maintenance of the relations of
| amity and commerce, and particularly at the
it present juncture, it must be the wish of every
| sincere friend to his country, whether Briton or
| American, these relations should not be inter
j rupted, unless such interruption be rendered
inevitable by some imperious and irresistible
necessity, arising from that regard which it is
incumbent on every country to pay to its honor
and its interests.
If the manufacturers and merchants of this
kingdom shall be convinced that the conduct of
the British government'towards the United
■States of America has been, and continues, such
as becomes a government desirous of preserv
ing the relations of peace and amity ; and if it
should now be found that these relations can
not longer be preserved, without compromit
ingthe honor and thereby sacrificing the best
interests of the British empire, it is hoped there
are no sacrifices or privations to which the ina
nufactuiers and merchants will not cheerfully
submit, in order to prevent such consequences.
If, on the -contrary, the manufacturers and
merchants of this kingdom shall lie convinced
that-the intercourse, which has now subsisted
for more than twenty years, between the Bri
tish empire and the United Stales of America,
with so many, and such progressively increas
ing advantages to each, is in danger of being,
interrupted by an assertion to claims, incompa
tible with a due regard to the equal rights of
both countries, or by unjust conduct on tbe part
of either the British government, or of any per
sons acting under its authority, it then becomes
a duty to exercise that invaluable privilege, the
essential bulwark ol the British constitution—
of respectfully making such representations lo
the government as the circumstances of the
case may require.
And as ihese circumstances nray be such as
to render it highly important that the persons
making such representations should act with
promptness, and in concert, I am requested
lo inform you that, if such circumstances
should arise, the members of the American
chamber of commerce in Liverpool hold them
selves in readiness to correspond and co-ope
rate with the manufacturers and merchants of
Gfeat-Britain and Ireland, for the attainment
of the important objects herein mentioned. I
have the honor to be, sir, your obedient ser
vant,
Joirv Richardson, Vice-President.

Savannah,
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 180?.
We’understand, (says a Philadelphia paper
ot the 23d lilt ) that the board of health, in con
sequence of information of the unhealthy con
dition ol'Charleston and Savannah, have direct
ed that all vessels arriving from those ports
Shall come to at the Lazaietto, and he subject lo
all the necessary quarantine regulations. Al
though the salubrity of our air, and period ol
the sbason afford us strong assurance of safety,
this measure of precaution was highly neces
sary and” judicious.
Yesterday a mce ing took place between Dr.
Stark andcapt. Gordon, of the Chesapeake, in
consequence of a dispute on the subject of
commodore Bui ton’s conduct. Several sfiots
were exchanged without effect. The affair
terminated in the doctor’s icctiving a wound
through the arm from lieut. Ciane, the fiicnd
of capt. Got don.— Norfolk Herald.
Thomas Stockdalc, a citizen of the United
Stales, and born in Hartford county, Maryland,
arrived at Alexandria on Sunday morning last,
by land, from Lyn-llaven Bay, having about
eight or nine days before made his escape
from the British ship Tamar, captain Robin
son. He states, that they sent him, with two
officers and five seamen on shore in disguise,
to procure fresh provisions ; that while the
officers were ri a farmer’s house J procuring
them, the said Siockdale, with ( t\vo other sea
men, (Englishmen) made their escape through
the country. ihe two Englishmen went to
Norfolk, and he having been registered as a
seaman in the collector’s office of Alexandria,
made his way there, after havingbeen on board
said vessel for three years—lie never accepted
any of his majesty’s bounty.
The formers at Lyti-Ifaven Bay are in the
practice of furnishing the officers of the British
ships with fresh provisions, in consequence of
their going on shore and calling themselves
Americans, being in disguise as such.—Alex
andria pa jit r.
Extract of a letter from a commercial house at
lit■ Thomas, dated August 24.
“ Our mai ket for provisions lias been very
dull for some time, ow ing to an embargo being
laid on those articles by the government ; but
as the alarm about an embargo in America
seems to have subsided, they have concluded
to permit the exportation of those articles a
guin. \\ e are in hopes it will make business
brisk again in a few days.”
Cotton Manufactories. —There arc se
venteen buildings erected upon the streams in
the neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island,
in which are, already, six thousand and i.incvy
spindles in operation, and in which there will
shortly be an addition-of fourteen thousand and
twenty-six, making in the whole, 20,116 spin
dles. These manufactories arc all within 30
miles of Providence, and seven-eighths the pro
perty of the citizens of that state.
The Danish navy, which it is presumed the
British will take possession of, consists of three
siiips of 84 guns, nine of 74 guns, one of 70.
and two line of battle ships nearly finished
three of 64 guns, three of 44, four of 64, two of
32, one of 28, two of 20, and three or four
small brigs or luggers.
British East-Indiu Company. —A Mr. Cree
vey slated, in the British house ol commons on
the 16ih of July, ill t the last accounts of the
company shewed, that there was an excess of
about two millions in their foreign expenditure
over their revenue, and a loss of 2,200,000/. in
their trade at home.
From Vera Cruz we learn, that on the 21st
