W. FAWKENER.
From a Late London Paper.
The interview between Bona
parte and the Deputation from
the Magistracy of Hamburgh,
affords another striking proof of
his hatred towards this country,
as well as of the uniform intem
perance of his conduct. He re
fused even to receive their pro
posals, and treated them with
the utmost rigor and contempt.
He told them, that he conceived
the measures he had taken,
“ were the only means of forcing
Great-Britain to make peace
and that, therefore, nothing
■hould induce him to depart from
them. In vain they told him that
thirty houses had already failed
in Hambuigh, in consequence of
those measures. His unfeeling
answer was, “ So much the bet
ter, inasmuch as it will ruin
many more than that in England.’’
Still they told him that a perse
verance in those measures would
reduce the whole Citv of Ham
burgh to bankruptcy ! His
answer was again, “ So mnch the
better : then you will not be able
to-carry on your commercial in
tercourse with Great-Britain !”
Against this brutal exultation,
they ventured to oppose the
dreadful effects which would
arise from the whole commerce
of the world being stopped !
Hi* replv was, “ 1 wish ic to
come to this pitch, that there
should be no commerce at alt !
The land only shall be tilled, and
there shall only be an exchange
of linen against cattle, and of
grain against cloth ! 1 lie fourth
century must be ivived, before
the world can be reduced to its
proper state 5” He said he should
be culled a Caligula and a Nero.
He cared not for that, lie allow,
ed that his own sea-ports would
be ruined, but he could not help
it. Me detl.tred that the Depu
tations, which he knew were on
the road to him, from Muntz,
Bordeaux, &c. &c. Stc. with
remonstrances again t hts De
cree against the English, should
not be admitted into his pre
sence. After repeatedly cal
ling Hamburgh “ Une Vile
Angloi ie,” he concluded with
these remarkable and never-to be
forgotten words—‘‘England must
be humbled, and dealt with in a
very different manner from that
in which she hitherto has been
treated I Russia and Frussia are
at war with ine, but upon fair,
and very different ground.;; my
conduct to them ts, therefore,
very oifferent from that to
England. Have 1 not Berlin in
my possession—and have 1 m
iircted on that city the. smallest
injury l Was not every tiling in
ni_\ power l Were not the men,
women, and children, at my
feet; and might £ not have sold
them as slaves ? £ have not done
it yet ; but, mark my words, it
may yet come to pass l”
1 ne distressed situation of the
City of Bremen, was very aptly,
tiiougii unsuccessfully, represnt
cd to Napoleon, by Air.

British house of Lords.
ii'eJuesdttjf, Jan. 14.
On Wednesday General Gas
coyne wished to know from Lord
Ho wick, whether the American
Mon-importation Act against this
country had undergone any ai
teration. He aidnssed ni.nsett
to the noble Lord for such ex
planatiou as might m tke it gene
rally known il the trade coulu be
rnmed with safety ; r.r if it was
still atteiVed with all its recent
ha7nrd of confiscation, in order
that if there ’v ;s no risk the be
nefit of rhe trade should be en
joyed universally ; and if ihr.e
was risk that no individual should
want wnrr’ngto avoid it.
Eon! Ho’tv ink said that if the
treaty concluded recendv should
he ratified, ns there was every
reason to expect it would, th-
Mon-Importation act would he
repealed of course, and all pro
ceedings had under it would hr
reversed. This was all the infor
mation he could give. He had
also now to stare, that there cer- j
tainly was in this treaty a full re
servation to his Majesty of -he
right to exercise restrictions e
quivalent to those which neutral
nations may suomit to allo.v the
enemy to exercise by their means’
against the commerce of his ma
jesty’s subjects.
Her Prussian Majesty, we fear
has fallen a victim to numerous
calamities which havelktelv been
accumulated upon her house.
She was attacked by a nervous
fever, the consequence of exces
sive anxiety and fatigue, against
which unfortunately, the delicate
frame of that high spirited wo
man was not proof.

by the house.
The house then proceeded
to confider the amendment of
the senate to the bill repealing
the duty on fait, and continu
ing the Mediterranean fund.
[ Fhe firfl amendment repeals
only the aft of the irnpofing
an additional duty of eight
cents per bushel on fait: the le*
cotid amendment repeals the
2d feHiou ; and the 3d amend
merit continues the Mediterra
nean fund until the 3
cent her, inltead of the end of j
the next feifion of congress. J
The queltioo was taken by
ayes and noes, on agreeing to
the fir It amendment ot the fo
liate, and it was loll—ayes 15,
noes3s. Theother■ amendments
were ado diiagreed to. Mr.
Randolph movedthat the house
infill upon the bill as it ori
ginally pa fled ; and contended,
that the (enate had no confHtu
tional right either to dictate the j
objehls wihch fliould be taxed,
or the quantum of taxes which
should be imposed. Mr. Ran
dolph afterwards withdrew his
motion. Mr Early moved
that the boule adhere to their

taken cn this motion, and it
j was carried in the affirmative—

on the table.
Considerable debate arose
on agreeing to the amendments
made by the senate to the bill f
to prohibit the importation of;
Haves; when the qudtion was j
