facJc upon the Chesapeake with the difpleafureof
th? Britiffi government. This once granted, a
ioug with the-renunciation of aiLcTaim of light
to vst ships of war, ivfe hav.arded an opinion that
the friendly relations between the two countries
•>uulifilot receive any farther intemrotion ; and!
?s> this opinion we adhere. The find of these !
two points was publicly conceded fame days i
The recal of admiral'Berkley, within
*hcfe Command* anti by whole direrit and imme- j
authority, the affair of the Ghefapeak'e took 1
cannot Be confideted in any other light
than as a f-iCrinot to the wounded honor of the
Americans in that particular case. The second
great point of djfpute, which is the general ques
tion, appears, by a proclamation in the Gazette
of Saturday night, to be also completely f*t at
reit for ever. This proclamation, of which wo
give a faithful copy, requires all Britufi seamen !
in foreign fcrvice to leave the fame, and join Brit -
i:h ships or return home; it also commands alb
captains of our ships cf war to flop every such
person, being a natural born fubjerit of this king
dom, from entering into the fcrvice of any for
eign state : and to seize, take, and bring away
all fitch perfonsfound employed in any foreign
merchant ships ; but enjoining all commanders,
to permit no man to go on board of such veffe's
in amity with us, to seize such persons for whole
difereet and orderly demepnor- they cannot an
swer. This inftrurition is, hovfever, confined to
merchant (hips, and does not extend to ships of
war. In the case of Vessels of the later deferip
tiou, namely, Ilvipa of war, the right of visit is
not allowed ; but our commanders (lull require
of the commanders of foreign ships, to'releaie
and difeharge such British seamen ; and on refu
fal, to transmit Information thereof to the com
mander of their squadron ; who is to transmit
information to our minillor, at the feat of gov
ernment of the state to which the foreign (nip
(half bclong, or to the lords of the admiralty, that
the necessary steps may be taken for redress.
Here the right of visiting (hips of war, in the
precifc manner it was exercised by the Leopard, |
in pursuance of the orders of admiral Berkley, is
completely given up, and another course pre-j
feribed in its plLce. This amounts to a com~ :
plete abandonment of all claim to search neutral
(hips of war—nor does it itop here j for the re
commendation of great care and caution to be
observed in the search of merchant vessels, is an
ibdireci admiflion, that the complaints lo repeat-’
euly urged by the Americans, of irregularities
Committed by oqr cruisers in the search of their
merchantmen, are well founded, and consequent
ly the prefca'ution recommended against their
recurrence, is a farther concelTion to America.
Under all these circumflanccs, although the re
cal of our seamen to their Country’s fcrvice, upon
the gi ound of especial difficulty and dang r be
the prominent.and mod ostensible feature ot the
proclamation, it is an official declaration cf the
code of maritime rights which we mean to ob-
O
serve in oar kite eco u rfe.with America, in rela?
lion to the several disputed points as well as com-’
plaints, that Lave been brought into dilcuffiou.
These points embrace the conduct of the Leo
pard, “the alledged'irregularities committed on
the seamen ot neutral merchant vessels, and the
arrogated claim, of a right to visit neutral ships
of war. And, as in all these three points, the
proclamation of our government has given full
fitrisfadtion, by the recall of admiral Berkley, the
injunriting of regularity in the search of mer
chant veffels,’ and, the abandonment of the right
In iearch ships of war, we do repeat that we
filed confider the proclamation as a declaration of
i amicable a. juftment of all our differences with
America.

ENGLISH ADMIRALTY COURT.
Lon don, Sept. 29.
This day fir William Scott, pro
ceeded to the adjudication of’ the fol
lowing cases:
Minerva, Caldwell, mafler—This
veflcl was under American colors, la
d?> with various merchandise, and
hound from New-York to Amllerdam
The only quefiion was with relbefl to
a quantity cf hiJes, viz. whether they
was bona fide imported into America.
It appeared that they were brought
fiom South-America in another Ihtp,
; arvi put on hoard the Minerva from
j New-York., without being hr ft landed.
The Court held this to be a mere tran.s
{fiiipment, and not a bona hde impor
tation into America, and pronounced
the hides to be fubjetd to cotififcation,
but restored the Ihtp and iremaiiider
of the cargo.
Herald, Done, master—This was
also an American vefiel laden with
various merchandise, bound from
Norfolk, in America, to Bremen, and
was captured on the ground of a
breach of blockade. The Court was
of opinion, from the documents pro
duced, that the blockade of Bremen I
mull have been known in America!
previous to the failing of the vefiel,
and therefore condemned the ship and
cargo.
New-York, November 23.
Capt. Riley informs that when he left Nantes,
which was on the 10th October, the situation of
affairs between the United States and England,
had occasioned considerable stagnation in the
j freighting business, though money was very
plentiful. The ihaniifa&orieS were in a flour
j idling Condition; commerce received all the sup-1
port which the government could pay to it> and j
the charadler given to the French by their Em
peror, on his return from Til fit—that of “ a
great people.’’ The Canal Napoleon, intended
to unite the Mediterranean and the North Sea,
j by means of the Rhine and Rhone, was in great
! fo'rwardnefs. Fourteen fhipS of war were on the
! Hocks at Antwerp only, where alto fix fail of the
i line were launched. Since the capture of Copen-,
