BY THIS DAY's MAILS.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 8.
There are three'gun-bOats ashore in the
Cove, to the Westward <•£ Sandy Hook ;
and one on Staten island—all high and dry.
Bordeaux, Oct. 15, 1.S07, 10 o'clock P. M.
" William Lee, esq. American consul
in Bordeaux, has received a letter from ge-
neral Armstrong, desiring him to advise all
masters of vessels to quit this port in as short
a time as possible. The like advice it is
said, have been given to the consuls at the
other seaports—BONAPARTE WILL
HAVE NO NEUTRALS—Americans
will have to fight for or against him."
IMPORT AN" V.
Last evening the British ship Messenger,
capt. Jamieson, arrived at this port in 2c
d;ivs from Greenock.—The editors of
the New-York Gazette have received re-
gular sets of pipers to the 4th Nov. from
London, and the 7th from Greenock.
They contain the importrnt news which
follows. More details to-morrow.
It appears by the Courier, of the 22d of
October, that the British government have
issued a proclamation, declaring the attack
on the Chesapeake an unauthorised act.—
As our papers are irregular we have not the
one which contains the proclamation. Several
of the London papers, however, observe of it,
and say. '¦ his majesty's ministers have aban-
doned a valuable right without an equivalent."
And that the proclamation concedes too
much to America ; other papers advocate
the pacific tenor of this proclamation.
The Globe, of the 22d of October, says,
that some individuals connected injthe ship-
ping interest, applied to government lor
information respecting our dispute with
America. One of them, received from the
highest commercial authorities in the ad-
ministration, a letter, expressing the opinion,
that thee is every reason to indulge the
expectation of a speedy and satisfactory
arrangement with America.
There was a great bustile along the French
coast, at our last dates, in preparing boats,
&c. .for the invasion of England ! Troops
were daily arriving at Boulogne, Dunkirk,
&c. The invasion of England ts considered
as a pretence. When the grand army was
collected at Boulogne two years ago, Bona-
parte meditated the subjugation of the con-
tinent.
It is asserted in the Sun, of the Q6th of
Oct. that the Prince Regent of Portugal,
his court, treasure, &c. had embarked for
the Brazils, with 18 sail of the line. Ttiis
is mentioned in Dutch papers of the 24th of
October. Some doubt it.
Most of the British forces evacuated Zea-
land on the 14th of Oct. The embarkation
of the whole force was prevented by a gale
on the 18th ; but completed on the 20th.
The British parliament was further pro-
rogued to the 17th of December.
Lieutenant Barry, whose trial we noticed,
was shot on board the Hazard, the 19ih of
October.
The Toulon squadron is said to have put
to -
ver, landed from an American vessel, were
sent after him, as he left town on Friday.
By the same conveyance that brought the
Dutch papers from which . e yesterday jjave
extracts, a number of private letters were
received, dated the 17th inst. They con-
tain, however, nothing of political impor-
tance, if we except the following 1 ircular
letter, addressed by the American consulate
at Amsterdam, to the merchants of that ci-
ty, of which the following is a copy :
'¦ I have to request, that you would has-
ten the departure of any Amei ican vessels
which may be to your address, with all ex
pedition.
(Signed)
S. BOURNE,
; American Consulate.
Amsterdam, Oct. 15 1807."
The letters which.alfu.de to the above,
state, that the American c nsul received his
instructions from general Armstrong, at Pa-
ris, with an explanati n that he was led t
the measure from the consideration, that as
it was knointo be the intention of the
emperor of the French to act upon the De-
cree of the 21st Nov. 1806, with tne ut-
most rigour, there was every reason to sup-
pose that England would retaliate, and
would soon order that all vessels found com-
ing from, or going to such ports as were
under the influence of the French, would
be de.-med legal captute.
But some of the letters give no credit to
the reason assigned for the consul's commu-
nication, but state, that Bopaparte, having
attempted to promote a rupture between the
British and American governments, which
he is apprehensive wiil be averted in spite
of all his efforts, has threatened the Ameri-
cans with hostilities.
Which of these is the true cause for the
notice that has been given to the American
merchants in Holland, we cannot decide ;
but the first isliableto doubt, for if the con-
duct of Great Britain, either real or proba-
ble, had excited any apprehension that the
American vessels would be seized by us, in
that case, the communication of our inten-
tions would have been conveyed to Amster-
dam, not by the American Ambassador at
Paris, but by the American Ambassador at
Lond n. Nor is the second reason satis-
factory. America has shewn no disposi-
tion to court the friendship of this country
at the expence of a rupture with France.—
It is evident, therefore, that whatever may
be the subject of dispute between Bonaparte
and America, it is a dispute that relates to
themselvss exclusively, and that affects the
vital, or, which is the same thing with
them, the trading interests of the latter
country. In fact, if America is disposed
to quarrel with France, the mere decree of
Bonaparte against her commerce is cause
amply sufficient, without looking to the con-
sequences likely to ensue from that decree
on the part of England.
The same letters mention that grounds of
dissatisfaction begin to appear between
France and Russia, but do not mention what
these grounds are. If they do not exist they
soon will. Napoleon's plans for rounding
the^territories of his newly created kingdoms,
cannot be executed without cutting & carv-
ing upon parts and parcels belonging te
Russia. He will acquire what he con by
negociation, and when Riissia becomes tir-
ed of giving, will take what he wants by
force. They must game] sooner c* later,

Louis XVIII and suit bnjed yesterday at
Yarmouth in consequence of orders to the
collector of the customs at that port, bro't
down from the secretary of state's office by
Mr., Ross, Mr. Canning's private secretary',
and the honorable Mr. Uagot. The illustri-
ous yisitprs will, we understand, proceed to
EHyrood House. There is something so
extravagant in the idea of his majesty coth
ing here a< his own amb; ssjo'or, and without
any previous communication with our court,
to engage this country in a new plan for
the restoration of the Bourbons to tht throne
of France, most people are inclined to tre.,t
it as a fabrication, for the purpose of injur-
ing his cause, and completely extinguish-
ing any little ray of hope that may have re-
mained Of that once brilha.it prospect. A
private letter from Paris, in our preceding
columns shews that th? public mind in
that city is perfectly reconciled to the new
order of things, and in such case, England,
though possessed of the p -wer, which »he
has not, has no right to interfere with the
internal government of France.
One of the fi st manufacturing bouses in
Lancashire has stopped payment. It appears
from the statement submitted by the con-
cern to their creditors, that they owe about
350,0001. and have poperty and debts to
the amount of ifio 009'. being, of course,
nearly 200.000I. minus. 600 poor people
will immediately be thrown out of employ-
ment by this failure.
The fervtr.t gun vessel, with a large con-
voy from Portugal, arrived yesterday, at
Portsmouth. They sailed 13 days ago,
and have br ught home the greater part of
the British merchants and families. The
quantity of wine brought home in this fleet
is estimated at 2000 pipes. The Narcissus
frigate, the arrival of w hich, in the channel,
we mentioned yesterday, with a fleet under
convoy, from Oport >, which place she left
on the 15th, parted from the above convoy
on the 30th last, off the Lesard, with the
vessels for Bristol, &c.
Great inconvenience having been,; felt,
particularly by the British merchants, from
the order of the Portuguese government,
which allowed three months additional grace
to bills of exchange, it was revoked by the
following
EDICT :
" It being represented to me, that the
indulgence I granted by my royal decree of
the 27th ult. in order to av iid some losses
which the change at Lisbon might experi-
ence, on account of actual circumstances,
militates against the utility of the trade in
general, I am pleased to ordain that the
said decree be of 110 effec.. The board ol
trade, &c. v. ill therefore nuke this decree
public.

ment for sale, took occcasion to observe,
that the circulation of this print, as to num-
ber of papers and subscribers, excuded that

time that the editor of that paper had no
w isli to sell a part of the establishment, we
looked upon, his public statement only as
the consequence of much »erb,il boasting,
having gone uncontradicted. It had been
the practice of that gentleman to boast no
little of his acquisitions since the decease of
a rival morning print. Confidei t th;t u e
had rooie daily subscribers than he had, it
was thought but fair to induce him to make
a public declaration to that effect, which he
has this morning, by acknowledging that
he issues only " 1224 daily papers." He-
has the candor and politeness to t:ike our
statement ("upwards ol thirteen hundred")
as correct ; we feel no less a confidence in
his veracity.
