been much altoniihed at the outcry railed .againft it here. I am perhaps, too humble an individual to be clafled with any party; but Sir, I fhould deem myfelf exceedingly culpable if I did not ftateto the public the fafils which I learnt in,. Great Britain, and which are To notorious there that 1 am furprifced they arc not current here. It is confidered in England that Bonaparte is abfolute mailer of the land of Europe, and in order to counterbalance his power the Englilh government have, determined to make themfelves fole mailer of the seas. Toeftecl this the refolution has been taken by the cabinets of St. James to seize all the ships in the known world

Thus, fir, the vcflels and goods of the" very people whom the Britifh are pretending to ferve, are imperatively ordered to be de tained, and tell allured will be finally condemned and fold for the benefit of the cantors, and of the EngiifH Exchequer. It is alfo generally believed in Eriglapdy 5c that is one caufe of the great rejoicing there, that all the French mips of war in the Spanfh ports together with the whole Spanilh navy, will fall into the hands of the Britifh ; and it is well underllood that private orders have been fent to the Britifli admirals commanding on the coaHs of Spain and Portugal,

and another, get hold of, jiift as.the moment Bonaparte has got the

the French emperor has laid vio

'J' hie feizure of the Dunilh navy was the commencement of the bufinefs; r.nd the orders in council were intended to Ctttch all nur ships out at sea end carry them into English ports, ri he embargo, in almolt a miraculous manner, faved th'm from being captured and detained. 1 was ai Lloyd's in London, three days afttr the orders were pnblifhcd in the ofiicial Gazette, when I heard

a gentleman offer a bet of five hundred guineas that in twelve months from that day, the United States of America would not own one hundred fail cf merchant veflels. The bjt wasrejecAed by the party

to whom it w;is made. I he Khglilh miuifiry argue, that if they can get polf-iiion of the fhipping of other nations, thole nations will have to commence building anew, and in the mean time Great Britain will be enabled to profccute an cxehfive navigation and univtilal tr.ide. In tlu: order i fined by his Britannic maieflv for taking off the

blockade from the ports in the pollonion of the Spanilh oppolition to iinap.i, te, is die following palfae : 4i i'he blockade of all the ports ofSpu r '-xcvpt st;;h its tfhtr be st HI i'l tve . ion or ttmlcr the conurl oj V,;u, Ihall be forthwith imiU -d.M The viy exf'tic': marie, is a deep .-.rtiticr.
