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. August 14. 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 his dominions, who have left the kingdom with out having taken the oath of allegiance, to pay the rents into the royal treasury, on the pain of forfeiting double the value. 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. Liverpool, ylurv.st 11, 1807. 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 August, the British frigates Thames, of 32 guns, capt. 1 ay lor, and Diana, of 32 guns, cap tain M a ling, ware taking on board seven millions ot Spanish dollars.—V.
