The Empe xor it appears, 1 >ad demanded a paftport for his vefTels bound co Tnpoli with fupplies, and in cafe of a rcfufal threatened a .declaration of war againft the United States. Commodore Morris, it is pre Aim able, will never agree to grant inch pail ports. It is not improbable therefore that our corned in the Mediterranean may be of a more ferious nature chan was m full contemplated. BALTIMORE, Augufi 5. Capt. Burr, who arrived at Kew-York, cn Saturday morn ing lad, in 17 days from St. Thomas's, informs us, that juft before he failed an American brig arrived there from the Ri ver La Plata, with intelligence that the Spaniards had feized 15 fail of American veflcJs, and taken their cargoes. Our in formant did not learn the name of the brig, but underftood fhe had made her efcape from the Spaniards by feme ftratagem ; and the current opinion .at St. Thomas's was, that a general confifcation of American pro perty in South America would lake place, and that a rupture between the two nations would follow. RALEIGH, (n. c.) Augufi 9. The fchooner Dlfpatch, capt. Swain, arrived at Wilmington, in this date, on Monday lad, from St. Kite's, via Sc.

In the de partment ot Girond, Bourdcaux, 80,000 votes were given, and not a Angle “ no” appeared,— Grain it appears will be in de mand in Europe, owing to the late frofts and great droughts. The king in council on the 12th of June, prohibited all exportation of grain from Great Britain until the firft: of June next. The quartern loaf had been rai fed by the lord mayor to one Hulling. September l. Capt. Andrews left Marfeilles 5 1 and Gibraltar 45 days ago; he heaid nothing at Gibraltar of the reported fight between the Bofton frigate and the Tu nifians. It was uncertain there what the Emperor of Morocco in tended he was fitting out his veflels, but it was not knov/n for what purpolc ; he had in vited back the American conful, but he had declined returning.
