LONDON, AUG. 20. If Bonaparte revokes his Decrees, our Orders consequent upon those Decrees will be revoked also; but if he supposes that we shall abandon any part of the old maritime Law, he will find himself completely mistaken. He has said, that from and after the 1st November his Decrees are revoked, and our Government, taking notice that the enemy has announced his Decrees to be no longer in force from and after the 1st Nov. may notify, that from the 1st Nov. our Orders in Council, adopted in consequence of those Decrees, will cease.—Courier.

On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. The subject of deliberation was supposed to relate to Bonaparte's late decree.—Ibid.

On the operation of the late French commercial arrangements, we have a few particulars by two ships, which arrived on Saturday from Ostend and Dunkirk. The following is an abstract from one of the letters:—

"PARIS, AUG. 11. We have a hope of obtaining the release of a great part if not all the American property and ships seized in the ports of France."

Another from Dunkirk notices the practical application of the new indulgences to Americans, and announces, in a postscript to the letter, "That two ships from the United States had been released from sequestration."

The following extract of a letter was posted at Lloyd's, on Saturday:—

"DUNKIRK, AUG. 10, 1810. The American vessels which had been detained here, are ordered to be released."
