Saturday afternoon, the chairman and sub
commute of the American merchants had a
m eting with the president of the boardof trade,
when his lordship (Bathurst) communicated
to them the determination of ministers in re
gard to the navigation of neutral flags under the
present systpm of blockade.
Mr. Sansom, the chairman, immediately af
ter Jcaving-the treasury, convened a meeting of
the committee of American merchants, and
made the following report on the subject of the
recent orders in council:—
*• London Tavern. November 21.
“ That American vessels cannot sail in any
instance direct from the ports of the U. States
to any port of the enemy in Europe. Ameri
can vessels may proceed from the ports of the
United States to the ports of the colonies be
longing to-the enemy, and direct back to the
ports of the United States. The order does
riot prohibit them from going direct from the
ports of this kingdom to the colonial ports in
the West-lndia islandr belonging to the ene
mv ; and it is not intended to prevent them
from proceeding from this kingdom with colo
nial produce to the enemy’s ports, whenever
parliament Shull have decided on the duties to
be imaosecl on such exportation.
”A nerican vessels may continue to trade from
the ports of this kingdom to the ports of the en
e .ny, and from the ports of the enemy to this
hmgdom, and from the portsofhis majesty’s al
ii.l-, to the enemy’s.ports, but not ftom tlieen
in ’s to the ports of his majesty’s allies direct,
nor from America to the ports of his majesty’s
allies, with colonial produce.
“ There is reason to believe that an order in
council will issue, regulating the periods at
which notice shall be considered to hate been
received of the orders in council, of 11th in
stant, in the United States of America, by
w hich regulation, vessels that shall have clear
ed. or shall clear out from any port in Amer
ica. before the 20'h of January next, shall be
considered to have cleared out before notice of
the order ; and vessels which shall clear out
between the 20th January and the 1 Oth of Feb
ruary, will Ire liable to be detained, subject tc
the question, whether they had began to be lad
en before notice had arrived at the port from
whence they sailed. From the 10th of Feb
ruary all Ymei iean vessels wiiFbe considered as
having begun to lade after notice, and will
thereby be subject to the provisions of the a
foresaid orders.
Certificates of origin will not be required
to he delivered up. which may. be on board
vessels which shall have sailed previous to the
notice of this qfdcr, at the port they sailed
from.
“ There is also reason to believe, that no doty
is intended to be hud on the re exportation of
any articles which are the produce of the sod
of neutral nations, with the exception of cot
ton ; and that,the trade between this country
ami ‘.be ports of the enemy’s colonies, by iteit
t 1 .is, will be regula'ed by licence, and confined
to tne export of British manufactures, until the
meeting of p arliament ; and that the trade be
tween this country, by neutrals, with the colo
nies of Ojie ene nv in the Wcst-lndics and
South America, w H lie placed on ‘he same
footing. John Okay, Secretary ”

Intelligence was yesterday teceivccj that a
mtmbcrVuf American ships, which were about
to enter the Fexel, were stopped lay our block
ading squadron, huid received the “ warning”
which tiie iate.orders of council prescribe. In
consequence of which warning, the Americans
direct ed their coin so tor c.ngland; but it is
S!. that lest they sirouid not follow that
course, and come into an En lish port, a Iri
gate was sent to looK. after hem. This state
ment, if correct, is a very clear expression in
deed'of the jealousy entertained as to the dis
position of the Americans to comply with our
order of council.
intelligence from Lisbon of the 12th, and
from the mouth of the Tagus of the Istli inst.
arrived yesterday The most important fact,
of which we have become possessed by these
arrivals is, that the Russian fleet, consisting of
seven sail of the line and thtee frigates, had,
previous to tne 12,h, entered the Tagus in two
divisions. Somp accounts say, that they pro
ceeded under false colors, having entered the
harbor under the di-guise of the /latisli flag.
If this latter circumstance be correctly stated,
the emperor Alexander must, since his inti
mate acquaintance wish the Corsican, have
deeply studied in the school of hypocrisy.. Not
long since, we believe, a request was made to
our government, that the Russian squadron
might be permit ed to winte, in a British port;
and there is no,,- oo much i eason to feu l- , that
tin; proposal was nilide not in siuceify, but
for lbe purpose of thriving our government

TILE CANADIANS.
from the 11 .\on n Star” ( jiubikhcd Bt Danville f
Vermont of December 21.
We have delayed to publish our information
respecting the feelings of the Canadians on the
question of war between the United states and
Britain, lest we should favour a*'immediate
rupture. \Vc cannot for such considerations
preserve a longer silence since vre draw our in
formation, not from a tew ii dividuuls but Horn
the concurrence ofa ! i icspectable characters
who are frequently visiting this place from
Lower Canada. We cap state with confidence,
that, except their newspapers, which are pub
lished under the eye of the provincial govern
ment, and which teem against the U. States,
for the double purpose of blinding the Can
adians and meriting the favour of his majesty,
George the third, on the question of war,
is a unanimity among the Canadians against
Britain as great as that among the people
of the United States at the commencement of
the revolution. The Canadians feel a pride
in the American name) and are waiting the fa
vourable crisis for exchanging the appellation
, of subjects —a softer name of servitude which
they brook indignantly—for that of independent
freemen , an honor to which they aie not insen
sible.
We predict, on sources ot information to be
relied on, and we call our readers to remember
in the event of war, which may God avert, the
conquest of Canada will be the fruit of her own
efforts, and will not require the aid of a single
, man or cent on the part of the United States.
The Canadians already cease to regard with
confidence the effusions of their gazettes on the
approaching rupture Their goals are filled and
running over with subjects arrested for disaf
fection to orders for arraying them in a warlike
posture against America, and republican papets
circulate to a considerable extent in both pro
\ vinccs.
SAVANNAH,
Thursday Evening, January 23, 180S.
V Ihe citizens of Baltimore have been long ce
lebrated for their spirit of euterpri ze—should
they, as it is.,idte\e*they will, embark apart
j of tlteir large capitals iti establishing tftanufaC
toriewof cotton and wool, there is every pros
| pect of a branch of commerce opening to this
; Country which was not thought of, peril tps,
j when.the embargo was laid on. It Is well’
f k-.own, that by muck the largest, part of the
cotton that was spun in England, was sent to
the continent in yarn, where it was manufac
tured into cloth. As this business is now totally
cut.off front England, nothing seems to prevent
its being transferred to the United States, but a
disposition to undertake it. VVe have the finest
streams in the world, to erect mills on—thous
ands of hands can now be collected to carry
them on—models of all the machines, with their
latest improvements, aye in our possession—one
of (the staple articles can be had at a price, per
haps, not by. one-third as. dear as the English
manufacturer paid for it, and our country ovei
flows with provisions. With these advantage.,
it wouid .tea wonder f the emigiitued citizen:
of Marti nd, shou and they proceed i.> the busi
ness, do not succeed co an extent little thought o
heretofore. It is a thing most certain, that
’ is. out of the power of ali tne machines that ca
be erected for many years, to-glut the call id-,
cotton vam on the continent of Fair me, and tin
qua'.ti y wanted fi.f* home consumption will be
considerable— City Gaz.
During our .revolutionary war, the ladies
vied with-the.oilier sex in true patriotism.—
1 Hey with cheerfulness denied themselves tit*
use cl tea, and those oilier delicacies and insu
res to which they had been accusto cd, but
w hich the patriots ol that clay thought it the
I duty and inteest ul the nation to abstain from
! Instead of yards and o her idle amusements.
they employed their rime at the spinning wheel
, and other branches of domestic manufacture.
I bitch conduct was praise-worthy in the highest
[degree; and it is with-pleasure learned, now
I our cotmtty is again threatened with war, that
; the ladies of this district are about following aw
example so worthy of-imitation. .Ladies of the
first fortune iii Ike district, despising, at :.ur.h
; an era, the extravagancies of fashion, and the
, frivolity of what i,s called amtlsciuenf, are set
ting examples ol useful industry. It is hoped
the example will be follmyeil by .their sisters
throughout the union
Dr. Le /?afon, a gentleman lately from Mi
chilimakinac, and wh • has resided there for’
the last five years has lately left this city for
Philadelphia, New-York and fins'on, lor the
very laudable purpose of forming a company
! of American merchants front those cries to
‘■ embark in the Fur Trade of our northwestern
{ frontiers. We hope the enrerprize ot Dr Le
| Aaron may be crowned v/ith every possible
i sircccss in this important object. It is the on
j ly meahs by which the current of that valuable
* and lucrative trade can be diverted from Catia
| da to the United States, and it is the only way
j to acquire such an ascendancy over the savage
; mind, as to ensure a pacific disposition on the
part of the Indian tribes. VVe are happy to
learn, that every disposition has been manifes
ted on the part of the government to encour
age and sunport this important object.—'Na
