PHILADELPHIA, March 13.
Extract of a letter dated, London Jan. 12.
"It is pretty certain, that our ministers have at length come to some determination respecting the orders in council, as there is a quick sailing vessel under immediate orders, waiting for despatches for America. It becomes every day more and more manifest, that Bonaparte does not intend to repeal his decrees, if our orders in council are rescinded; but that he intends enforcing, as far as he can, by the operation of these decrees, the Russian pretensions to establish the law of neutrals in 1780.
"Happily for Great Britain, and happily for America too, I think, England has it in her power to frustrate the designs of this consummate villain on the ocean at least."
