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. We h ave received Hamburgh papers id the 1 ft, j Paris to the 6th, and Dutch to the Mth inst. A letter from Ahona, dated September 30th, an nounces the conclusion of a Treaty between Prance and Denmark, in confeqwencc of which B.BRHADOTtE is to enter Holstein to afSft the Danes.

The premium of infuranc? on vessels bound to Riga, Revel, Peterfburgh, &c. has risen from foi • to fix guineas per cent ; but a like advance has taken place in regard to vessels bound to Stockholm ; so tint the increased rifles of navi gation at the ensuing feaion of the enemy’s pri vateers in the Baltic, 8: c. hate probably moryhh fiuence in the rife of Runla.

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.
