We ate happy to see the pro
gress made by Congress towards
providing such means as may be
necessary for counteracting the in
jurious U[>erationi on our commerce
of the British regulations relative
to tiic trade between the (J. States
and the British colonies. The mis
chief has gone on too long uncheck
ed and unredressed. Whether it
has or has not resulted from an in
fiingement of the convention of
London is not necessary, now, toi
examined. If it has not, we fear
that our negociators were outwitted
in that memorable compact. But,
at all events, if we have no - reason
to complain o nKose "regulations,
the British government can take no
umbrage at ours. We begin, then,
>wich pcrfect fairness, this new tvar
of (ommerdal regulation.
Buti" why should this be so ?
Each nation professes to desire no
thjngfeyt the most perfect recipro
city u| its commeTcial intercourse.
On the part of the British govern
ment, it js riot 'allcdgcd that any
undue advantage is enjoyed by us :
while on the other hand, it is man
ifest to alt that under- the present
system our shipping interest is suf
fering a vital'" injury. We could
mention nUme rous facts which we
Jiave fr^m persohsin whose repre
sentation* the utmost reliance is to
?be placedj which go to prove the
grcKrmschKf which has already re
? u 1 ted to the shippings interest, and
the speedy ruin with ? which a large
portion is threatened. That, how
ever,, is unnecessary. The mer
chants of New- York have already
come. forward to seek redress x and
the wrong is too sensibly felt for us
to doubt that the like remedy will
bg sought by thy mrrchann of all
our other ports.
The bill reported by the cotnr
mittee oft foreign relations, and
?ow before the hous? of Represcn
intercourse wtrh thr ports or places,
1 ?f wWch the vessel* of
J?!? S. are jwt ordinarily per->
Rutted to enter and trade," is, in our
opinion, the effectual remedy in our
power, ft is; perhaps, a severe
s is necessary j and it
Wdl remove the evil, We seek no
thing but what Is jiist and equitable
Mthe New-York memorial:
observe*, "foreigners want our
bread, qur cotton, onr tobacco,
out lomber, or our naval stores, we
only ask to be allowed fair and
reasonable share in the . carriage of
them ? and we are willin?
,1 u* Participate with us
in the benefits of their produce and
manufactures to this country. Our
wish is that all the - restrictions, be
fenunttd, or th?t they rendered e

The Consul of the United States,
resident it Naples, has received a
letter from the Minister of Foreign
Affairs for that Kingdom, stating
that the King had ordered all ves
sels coming from that part of A me

known to exist, th6uld be subject
to a refusal on entering his domin

Frafict. ? We have been favored
with the perusal of a letter from
Nantz, of a recent date, received
by a gentleman in this city, from
which we have^madc the following
extract t " I havi the pleasure to in
form you that Chateaubriand is in
disgrace with Louis 1 8th, in con
bequenoe of having been detected
in a conspiracy against the lives of
the acquireurs of the national estates,
with the view of reinstating the an
Relent nobility and clergy in their
former possessions. ? It is not known
what the king intend to do with him j
but it is certain that he has been
dismissed from the ministry/' ?
<% There is at present much com
motion in La Vendee and Britany.
We have great cause to fear that our
unhappy country will soon become
again the theatre of civil war. But
I turn from this painful subject to

country whete 4*e-can breathe the
air of liberty, unmolested by the
despotic power which oppress his
native land /' Telescope .
Female Duelling. ? We under
stand that last week a point of hon
or was decided between' two ladks,
near the South-Carolina line. The
derails of this grand affair have not
yet readied town. It Is said that
the cause of quarrel, was die usual
one in such casts* vis. 7 ove. The
object of the rival affections of
?these fair champions, was present
on. the field, as the niutual arbiter
in the dreadful combat. He had
__fhe grief of beholding- --one-of-t-ke
suiters for his* favor fall before lib
eyes. She was wounded ? true, wc
understand,, not mortally. The
whole busilu^i was managed y/ith
altriie inficxibility and decorum
usually practised or. such occasi
ons. The conqueror is to be im
mediately married to the innocent
second, conformably to the previ
ous conditions of the duel.

yielding a virtuous independence* to the

in a masterly manner, those principles
which unite ?our federal compact, and
serve as the basis of that constitution which
