Paris, Oct.

A Convention of Amity and Commerce, between the French Republic, and the United States of America, was signed the day before yesterday: (October 1st.) by the French Plenipotentiaries, Joseph Buonaparte, C. P. Claret, Fleurier, and Reudorer, and the American Commissioners, Oliver Ellsworth, W. R. Davy, and W. V. Murray.

(Official.)

It was less necessary to revert to the past than to revive between the two nations useful and honorable relations: the treaty has fulfilled this object. The French Ministers convinced that the prosperity of America, could not but add to the prosperity of France, have been led particularly to consecrate maxims most favorable to the rights of neutrality, and most conformable to the regulations of 1778. The first Consul in restoring force to that regulation four months ago, fulfilled the wish of justice, and of Europe; and undoubtedly it will be delightful to him to evince to himself anew, faithful to his principles, by ratifying the treaty concluded by the Minister of the Republic, at a moment in which Europe resounds with the violation of neutral flags. The American Ministers on their side appreciated the advantage of being allied to a nation governed at length with wisdom and firmness. Every thing announces that a strict and durable friendship is about to reanimate the neutral commerce of the two nations.
