Our countrymen at Sicily were highly gratified at receiving, m Loud on prints ol ihc 5 h id Jan. oifieialaccounts ol trie coriciufion of a Treaty be iween Great Britain and I America ; the more so, as the Pa is papers a few days pievious had represented the negociation as likely to fail, & a rupture between the two countries as aimoit unavoi dable. At the fame time there was conliderable murmuiing among the Brittfh on the oc tet fn>:t ; for though the con ditions of the 11 caty were un known, yet there was a general impit-lfi n that the Anteiican conumlli mers had got the ad vantage m the nego.iation,and that the honor and iriterdt of Old England had not been properly maintained. BuiiiitL at Naples and Leg horn was ext emely dull and nearly llagnated at the former place, by means of the con tinual contributions levied on the metciiaiits by the new gov ernment.

Extrrcl of a Jotter from Kingston j Jam. dat'd April 11 1807. j “ I arrived here on the 7th instant, after a passage of 22 tlavs but had the mortification of be ing robbed :nd plundered off Cape Maize by a French priva teer, or pirate, of almost cveiy thing I had on boatd, or they could take awns fro n me / and for mv consolation, they told me provided the', - thought the brig and cargo worth 40C0 dolla-s in St. Jaco de Cuba, where they belonged, they would send her in, and make a prize of her /bill lumber was worth nothing there, which you may be sure I was not very sorry for ; they say they at e authorised to take all vessels bound to St from English ports ; and indeed, they capture all they full in with, and send them in, provided they are worth any thing j and those that are not, *hey plunder of c\try thing they can lay their hands upon. Extract of a letter from Captain Lovett, of the ship Connecticut from N. For/c, arrived at Sur • riuam, dated March 1 5th 1807, to his correspondents in this city. “ 1 arrived here in a pafTage of 30 days after having been ashore on the Mud banks to the leeward of that river, wi:h the lots of my ftnall bower, dream cables and anchors. The next day after getting off the mud bank, was boa.ded by a French privateer of one gun cailed the L’Efpede, capt. Mofee, or Morris, from Gua daloupc, who obbed me of all my spare- cordage, blocks, hanks, fpurryarn, {'pars, and both my speaking trumpets, (which the captain took himfelf) taking and destroying evety thing they could lay their hands on, They also broke open my desk and took all my money whilst I was on board the privateer. Took my paflenger and all his bag gage on board hisveffel, under pretence of his being a British iubjedf; and after having de tained him until 9 P.M. opened l.is trunks robbed him ofabout 103 dollars w orth of clothes, and then lent him again on board the ship keeping three of my bell men who were Spaniards and Italians, faying that he had orders from the Fiench government to press into the service the lubjefct# of Spain, Italy, and Portugal. In this (filiation he left me about ten o’clock at night with only one man and three bovs, one of whom had not been a r hie to do duty for 1 o days pre vious; and with great exertion and perfeveranc., we gained this port in three days after. Captain Edwards, of the Ship Sampson, has favoured the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a hie of Cal cutta and Madras papers to the 21st of January. They afford nothing new.
