BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.

BOSTON, June 26.

At the moment when a negociation is pending between this country and France, when (if the opinion of some well informed person is correct) in all human probability an accommodation before this has taken place, and every difference is adjusted. When strong professions of friendship were made to this country, and a new negociation solicited with all the ardour of sincerity; Why, asks every man of reason and justice, are depredations continued? There is not the shadow of a doubt but Buonaparte, while praying of friendship, amity and respect, for America, was at the same moment, confirming and authorizing anew the hostile conduct of the West India free-booters. The captures are fresh wounds by the same hand, which pretends to accept the olive branch of peace. Are these evidence of the pacificatory disposition of this terrible republic? Are these the manifestations of their love of justice, their moderation, their conciliatory professions? Well then may the robber console his victim by the assurance that he has spared him his life. If such be the mode in which our Gallic friends exemplify their professions of amity, may the Lord ever defend us from their French bliss.

While we feel indignant at the insults and aggressions, which are daily committed on our commerce, and rights by the French, we cannot repress our feelings at the unjustifiable capture of our vessels by the British. The instance of the seizure and detention of the Juno detailed in the ship intelligence reported by captain Hills, is a circumstance of such an aggravating nature, as to excite the liveliest resentment, and to injure, in an essential degree, the friendship which each nation ought to cultivate.
