"We invp been favored • ith the sight of
a letter fr- m a respectable source in Lon-
don, of the 10th lilt, which contains the
following important passage :—
" We have it through a chasnel of con-
fi.lencc, that the Cabinet have come to a
determination to declare the whole of the
ports of Fiance, Holland, and their depen-
dencies, (with the exception of the Baltic)
in a state of Blockade. Ships having first
touched in a p irt in this country are to be
exempted, and are to be permitted to pro
ceed under licence. The colonies of the
' enemy are not to be put under a state of
blockade ; and neutrals are still to be carriers
first calling in a British port, and paying a
duty. These we believe are the outlines.
The proclamati n will be in the Gazetts
of Saturday [_Nov. 14.3 From various cir-
cumstances, we have no apprehension what-
ever, of a war with America.
A letter from Natnz, dated the 7th Nov.
received in this city from a respectable
house there, says, " The only cause of the
great rise of produce in France is attributed
16 the king of England's late proclamation
respecting seamen, and the apprehension
that a war between Great-Britain and the
United States will inevitable be the conse-
quence. Markets are very good for Ameri-
can and colonial produce."

Croat app • hensions were entertaisfd at Bor-
deaux, that at* embargo would be laid on all
* America:!, vessels in French ports.
4. By the above arrival we have reef ived
BordeaUx papers to the 6th November, and
Paris papers 10, the ist. The following on
\ a tiasty perusal, appear to he the only arti-
cles worth translating. It is stated under
the Petersburg head of the 30th September,
that almost all the English vessels had quit-
ted Cronstadt with the greatest expedition,
some with but half their cargoes, and others
¦without any, under the impression that an
¦ embargo was to be laid. The same occurred
at Riga. The Russian merchants addressed
, a petition to the minister uf foreign affairs,
requesting information, whether under ex-
isting circumstances, it would be prudent
to continue their commercial relations with
England, the answer was, that for the fire-
sent, he did not know of any thing which
was likely to interrupt their usual com se
of business, but that he was v,holly igno-
rant of the intentions of the british on that
subject.
Accounts from Lower Saxony, as late as
! y the JOth October" state, that since the block-
ade of ths Elbe and Weser has been raised
by the British, a great number of vessels
ftoia the Aimsrican,- suteS) lja.de«l with cc
I kmia! droduce, had entered the- Elbe. They
I h-.irt not yet r^one up to Hamburg, as all mer-
| cliandize must be accompanied by certifi-
I cates from a magistrate of the place from
whence the cargo is brought, and attested
by the French consul, resident there. But
as these formalities could not have been
known in America at the time of their de-
parture, a decision must be had before these
vessels can be permitted to proceed further.
These arrivals will have considerable influ-
ence in the market. Prices at present high.
EXPEDITION AGAINST INDI\.
Fmtikfcr , October 23.
A few days ago a repjrt wos in circula-
tion and generally credited, that a plan had
been concerted between Prance and Russia,
to send an expedition against the Indies,
for which Persia is to furnish S0.000 camels,
and that the French ambassador at the Per-
sian court, M.le general G.irdanne, who is
on his way is charged to adjust all dtffi r-
ences between Russia and Persia, and to
make the necessaiy preparations for the ex-
pedition, which nvill ruin the commerce of
the English in the E st I idies.
Cassel, October 19.
It is reported at Saxony, that a great ex-
pedition, is forming, whose destination is
the East-Indies—and that France, Russia,
Turkey and Persia are concerned in it.
Rotterdam, Oct. 16.
The American c msn' has addressed a
pressing note to the masters of all Ameri-
can vessele in p rt, informing them that
all the c mtinertai ports are about to be de-
clared in a state of blickidc. This ne*s
has caused a great sensation among the mer-
chants. Nobody is willing to sell coonial
produce, but they are retained under the ex-
pectation that prices > ill rise.
Hamburg, Oct. aft
Extract of a letter just received from Riga.
The greatest exertions are making to e-
rect new batteries, and put the old ones in
a complete state—it is conjectured an attack I
is leared from the sea. '
The Swedish admiral, Cederstrora, arri-
ved at Copenhagen on the 13th of October.
The object of his mission is not stated"
Calliboy, under her cotnmanrler, capt. Har-
ding, gallantly maintained the honour of
her flag against a much superior force, and
obliged the Pirate to sheer off. The brave
Harding, who lost a leg early in the action,
would not stir from the deck, but ordered
himelt to be lashed to the mast, * here he
continued encouraging his men till he lost
his right arm ; a shot through his body re-
lieved hira, soon after, from his agonies, and
stamped his fate with eternal glory.

HIS EXCELLENCY
GENERAL JOHN ARMSTRONG,
JAinisttr Plenipotentiary of the V. States of
America :
We, the undersigned American masters
aud supercargoes, now in the port of Nantz,
have the honor to address your excellency
on a subject which naturally concerns us,
not only as friends to the sufferer, and as
Americans, but as being liable ourselves to
be in the same predicament ^L
We th*refor« with one voice earnestly so-
licit the interference of your excehVncy t«
procure the liberation of Mr. John Kennedy,
master of the ship Missouri, of Philadel
phia. He is a man, who through a quiet
and just discharge of his duty, in a dan-
gerous professsiou, during a long series of
years, has at length attained the means of
providing for a wife and a large family of
children. He is imprisoned on account of
allegations made by people, some of whom
he does not know ; allegations, the eontsnts
of which he is ignorant, nor any mode of
trial given him whereby he can manifest his
innocence. Thus he is deprived of the
means of supporting his family, and their
very existence endangered. Every vessel
engaged in the trade to France may have
men n b lard who canbecorrupted ua secrete
runaway s.
As this inv lv»s a question so important
not only to ourselves, but to the owners oC
the ships under our charge, your Ex ellency
will p rceive its con>eqnence, and wt»h
what reason, we bring the case home to our-
selves We hojpe you will not deem our in-
terference improper, confiding that you will
he pleased-effectually to grant us, and his
just cause, your aid, and soliciting your Ex-
cellency to favour us with a speedy reply,
We are,
With sentiments of much respect,
Your Excellency's
Most obedient servants.

FEDERAL GAZETTE.
S \TURDAY, DECEMBER 19.
On the subject of a memorial from the Bri-
ti^h merchants in Russia, the National In-
telligencer has the following very liberal
remirks :
The following articles are taken from a
late Paris Argus. Th« remarks which pre
cede the memorial are those of the editor.
The contrast between the unlimitted rights
of the foreign merchant who resides in this
country, and his restricted privileges in Rus-
sia, is here most strikingly exposed. It
appears also that that government, consider-
ed as acting at present under an enlightened
policy, has determined to withdraw the
greater part of the privileges heretofore
granted to the British merchants, who pro-
probably in that' country as in this have
abused the confidence reposed in them, and
the benelits conferred upon them, by disse-
minating opinions and fomenting parties
hostile to the true interests of the country
that cherished them. Does it not, in the
present stare of the world, become the United
States, to direct her attention to this subject ?
Who will undertake to estimate the degree
of political evil—not to say any thing of j
pecuniary loss -produced by the deep stake i
of the fovvign merchants in our commerce ? 1
No one can be more friendly than the
writer of these remarks to the enlightened
policy of leaving industry and enterprise
unfettered by political regulation. This
freedom of pursuit is the boast the glory of
republican institutions. But there arc obvi-
ous considerations which may perhaps ren-
der it expedient to modify or quality this
abstract principle in its application to a fo-
reign merchant. The foreign merchant re-
sident among us is differently circumstanced
from all the other members of the communi-
ty. \ merchant is proverbially the citizen
of the world. He neither does, nor can, as
a merchant, feel that attachment to the coun-
try in which he lives, which is felt by the
planter the mechanic or the cultivator of
the liberal professions. Much less will he
feel this attachment, whose dominant pre-
judice, that derived from the place of his
birth, which the strongest minds find it hard
to shake off. constantly carries him in ima-
gination to the scenes of his youth, and -Us
his mind with the powerful recollections and
associations that relationship, love and
friendship inspire. If these remarks apply
with great force to foreign merchants gene-
rally, how much more emphatically may
they not be applied to the British merchant,
who, according to the doctrine recently pro-
cl zmed, still continues a subject, although
he may have resided the greater part of his
life in this country, and who. if taken right-
ing our battles against England, is exposep
tu the punishment inflicted on high treason ?
Is it not but too probable that on the occur-
rence of a war with that power, this des-
cription of men would transfer their riches
to their native country, and thus at the very
moment that required the exertion of all our
resources, weaken us in the same degree in
which they would strengthen our enemy.
These remarks might be rami'ied. They
are, however, sufficient to illustrate the im-
portance of the-subject, and it is to be hoped
that they will draw the attention of the
public to it. They will at any rate have
the effect of demonstrating our liberality ;
and will prove that we have set an example,
which, if universally or even generally fol-
lowed, would promote no less the interests
than redound to the honor of the great fa-
mily of mankind. But the example, thus
set, not having been followed, a system, on
the contrary, of partiality and piracy having
been substituted in its place, and the arm of
power having long since supplanted the law
of right, it is worthy,of consideration whe-
ther policy as well as justice do net recom-
mend the repelling aggressions thus wantonly
inflicted on our rights by regulations that
shall react on the aggressors.

As I have neither time, nor inclination to
enter into a newspaper discussion with the
Editor of the " The hig" respecting the
numerous falsehoods- which have been pub-
lished in that paper, iii regard to my official
conduct, I have deemed it my duty to com-
mence a prosecution against him. This will
give him a full opportunity to prove the
truth of his assertions ; and until the i^sue
between us shall be tried, I respectfulh re-
quest a suspension of the puMic opinion.
