From the Repertory of Friday last.

Our Foreign Relations.

The brig St. Michaels arrived in the Chesapeake Bay, the 6th inst. in 43 days from L'Orient [France]—Passengers, Mr. Nourse with dispatches from England, and Mr. Wilder, with dispatches from France. The Report is,

THAT BONAPARTE ADHERES TO HIS DECREES: AND THAT GREAT BRITAIN IS DETERMINED, WHILE HE DOES, NOT TO RESCIND HER ORDERS OF COUNCIL.

Let the base lie, circulated in the most positive manner, by Jeffersonians, for electioneering purposes, that the Embargo had produced its effect, and would therefore be raised, be recorded as a caution in future.

An American vessel at L'Orient from Martinique, which had not been "visited," was sequestered at the former place, just before the arrival of the St. Michaels.

Lucian Bonaparte has left his usual residence, near Rome, it is supposed for Paris.

The city of Hamburgh has been ordered by French officers, to make preparations for the feast of Napoleon, which will cost the treasury 100,000 marks; in the mean time many of the inhabitants are without bread!

Mr. Baker, our messenger from France, in declaring that "France is not more hostile than she has been heretofore," confesses, that no concessions are to be expected from Bonaparte.

This confirms all the federalists have advanced; they have ever said, that all our submissions would rather increase his demands—and if we do not soon form an administration which by resisting, will teach the tyrant to respect our Independence, we may soon expect to see our country allied openly to France, as she has long been secretly; there is even too much reason to fear that terms of surrender are already sent by the infamous pirate Haley; and when Congress meet, war with England must be prepared for, unless the loud voice of the people outweighs the dread of Bonaparte. Let the electors look to it, and select such men to represent them, as have no partiality for France, or dread of her tyrant.

The arrival of the St. Michaels, at last, does away all the electioneering stories circulated by Mr. Jefferson and his partizans.

The plain state of the case now is;—we can have no accommodation with France; for she will yield nothing to us, while we have surrendered our Independence to her. We have no accommodation with England, because we refuse all reasonable terms; while she has proffered every thing, consistent with her honor.—Boston Gaz.
