NEW AMSTERDAM, 
Saturday, July 16, 1814. 
The Pilot Boat which arrived this morning from Suri Surinam, 
nam, Surinam, brought our Mail for the month May, with intelli intelligence 
gence intelligence to the 25th of this month. The lateness of the hour 
at which we came in possession of the papers prevent our 
making any selection this day, but we propose issuing a 
Supplement on Wednesday next, with the most interest, 
ing points which the London papers contain. The Pre Preliminaries 
liminaries Preliminaries of Peace were not signed on the 25th May. 
The privateers have done much mischief on the coast of 
Demerary, reported tu have taken 7 and burnt 1 vtssels. 
in face of the fort. The privateer off Surinam chased a 
vessel into that river. There is a report that two sloops 
of war had sailed from Barbados for Surinam. 
The Mail to be forwarded to Europe, by the Queen 
Charlotte Packet, wil. be made up at the Post Office here 
precisely at 2 o'clock on Friday the 22d iust, after which 
hour no letters will be received. 
Wc are happy to learn that our Dispatch Boat is save 
arrived in Demerary—- so that we soon may expect her 
here. 
AMERICA. 
REPEALOF THE EMBARGO ANDNON-IMPOR ANDNON-IMPORTATION 
TATION ANDNON-IMPORTATION ACTS. 
Extract of a Letter, sent express from H ashington, to 
Neu-York, dated April 7, in the Evening, 
“I send an express to New. York, with thie letter, 
that it may be in season to go by the Chauncey. 
“The House of Representatives have this day, by a 
very great majority, passed a Bill repealing the Embargo 
and Non-liupoitation Laws, which Bill will pass the 
Senate in a day or two, by an unanimous vote, or nearly 
so. The free importation of British manufactured goods 
will, after this weik, be al owed into a I the ports of the 
United States, in neutral ships, on accounts of persons 
residing in neutral countries.” 
The President’s Message bear ample testimony of the 
humbled tone and demeanour of the servile adherent of the 
lately tyrant of France ; and as these were so strikingly 
manifested before the Despost’s overthrow was effected, 
or at least before any advice of that event could have 
reached America, w e may reasonably expect that a due 
knowledge of it will produce unqualified submission on 
the part of Mr. Madison, as the only means of saving 
him from the effects of our provoked vengeance, if not also 
those of the resentment of the people of the United States, 
whose confidence he has so much abused, and whose in. 
tcrcsts he has sacrificed to his own prefidious purposes. 
Paris, May 19.—The peace is signed: such at least is 
the universal assertion; and every one pretends to have 
received his information from an authenticsource. It has 
not yet been published, it is added, because the ratificati ratification 
on ratification of the Prince Regent of England is waited for. The 
following, occording to report, are the principal conditi conditions 
ons conditions of a treaty which must constitute the happiness of na. 
tions:—Guadaloupe, Martinique, and St. Domingo, to 
be restored to France, who will also recover the Isle of 
France, and have two factories on the Malabar and Coro Coromandel 
mandel Coromandel coasts; one half of the ships and artillery in for fortresses 
tresses fortresses now occupied by the allied armies, to be restored 
to her: a pert of Belgium to remain her’s, together with 
all the districts «u cl used within her territory, such as 

Mulhausen, the Contat, &c. There shall be no talk* 
either of contributions, war expences, or any other extra, 
ordinary imposition : no picture, nor any monument of 
the arts, will be removed. * 
Madrid, May 6.—Most of the Grandees have follow followed 
ed followed the example of the Duke del In fa nt ado, and King Fer Ferdinand 
dinand Ferdinand is surrounded with the principal chiefs of the no nobility. 
bility. nobility. Many prelates also repair to that youg monarch. 
The Cortes appear determined to persevere in their sys system 
tem system of rigorously giving the law, and hold up their con constitutional 
stitutional constitutional charter philosophically decreed in the Isla 9 
which was sheltered from ail the dangers of war. 
Gen. Lacy, of Irish origin, has been placed at the head 
of the troops which the liberal party has collected to sup support 
port support its cause. 
However, the arrival of the King is announced for the 
14th inst.; so that the struggle approaches its close. Fer Ferdinand 
dinand Ferdinand has the most beneficent intentions; but opposi opposition, 
tion, opposition, instead of weakening, only inflames the pretensions 
of each party. 
Hanover, May 6.— His Royal Highness the Duke of 
Cam budge will depart in a few days for Holland, whence 
he will return with the Hered. Prince of Orange into Eng England, 
land, England, fur the marriage us her Royal Highaess the Princess 
Charlotte of Wales. It is not known whether that Prince 
will afterwards go to Pari* as it has been announced. 
The Duke of Clarence has struck his flag on board the 
Impregnable, in the Downs, and returned to town, advice 
having been received that the Emperor of Russia and the 
King of Prussia did not propose leaving Paris before the 
Bth of June. 
The Allied artniesareon their march home; and the de departure 
parture departure of the Crowned Heads from Paris for London has 
been delayed only hy the temporary obstacles that occur occurred 
red occurred to the signature of the Treaty of Peace, but which by 
this time have been happily removed. The Emperor of 
Russia lately visited Prince Eugene at the Castle of Saint 
Leu, at Montmorency, where he dined with him, his mo mother 
ther mother and sister. This is the first notice of Josephine and 
the ci-devant Queen of Holland, that we have read in ths 
Paris Papers.—The Emperor of Austria is now styled 
Emperor of Germany. This is as it ougt to be—the 
Emperor Francis is, by all means, entitled to resume hia 
former rank and influence in Germany, the Empire of 
which will be restored under the powerfull suspicesof that 
Monarch.—There is no further mention of Bona; a/tu. 
The French Government is assembling a gnat military 
force at Lisle, and apparently they do not wish to let tra travel 
vel travel ers pass through Flanders. Three English Gentlemen 
returning from Paris to England, by Brussels, last week* 
though provided with passports, countersigned hy Lord 
Castlereagh, were stopped by Central St. Cyr, and no* 
suffered to proceed. They were obliged to return ami 
take their journey by the direct route to Calais. 
By some of the French papers it is again assorted that 
Peace is signed, and that the publication of the Treaty on only 
ly only waifs the ratification of the Prince Regent of England. 
By it, we are told, Guadaloupe, Martinique, St. Domingo* 
and the Isle of France are to be restored to France, who 
is also to be allowed two factories on the coasts of Ma Malabar 
labar Malabar and Coromandel; she is to have a part of Belgium ; 
no monument of the arts is to be taken away, &c.—From 
the nature of the terms, we may conclude that this is but 
another premeture report, and that these rumours express 
only the wishes of the writers. Such terms are etp.ally 
inconsistent with policy and with justice. 
Lord Walpole arrived at Hanover, he is to go to Pa» 
tersburgh in quality as Ambassador from England. 
A corps of 1400 lancers is to be raised at Hanover.
