Our object in the preceding remarks has been to kw, that there erNts in the American government hostility towards this country, independent of any measures which the British Government may pursue; and from whatever causes this hostility may be thought to proceed, none will deny, that it has ma. n if este d itself in conduct, in such a manner as would just ify the most hostile feeling on thi part of the British Government. One of our American Journals, of the latest date, tornsins the following paragraph *The Revolutionary Party in New Spain augments in strength na y day; and according :o the most recent advice', the intelii yew that Mexico has fallen is confirmed."

The probabilities of war breaking out between Sweden and France increase every moment. The seizure of Stralsund by the latter, is stated to have been followed up by the capture of a number of Swe dish vessels at Dantzic ; the Swedish Resident has .been ordered away from Hamburgh ; and it is said to be the intention of NAPOLEON to occupy the whole tithe Prussian coast as fir as Memel. The Cover rsr of Stralsund was ordered to resist the entrance of tue French ; and, for not having done so, he was or dered to Stockholm to take his trial; but instead of e beYing this order, he is said to have gone to Paris s'a fact, which, if correctly stated, leaves no doubt ((the itifamous treachery of that Officer.

To that report. Mr. PERCEVAL gave, in clear and unequivocal lan guage, a complete and absolute contradiction. He not only retains his own private opinions on the Catholic claims, but while he continues in his preseat situation, he will consider Catholic Emancipation as a ministe rial question, to be resisted as heretofore, whenever ills brought forward, by the whole weight and influence of Government.—Such is the advise he has given to the PRINCE REGENT—and that ad"ice has been accepted. . Should his Royal Master ever be of opinion, that the advice he has given is not for the benefit of the country, he is ready to make his bow and retire from office.— This declaration is so explicit and manly, that even those who condemn the principle on which Mr. PER CEVAL acts, as absurd and pernicious bigotry, give him 66 credit for the firmness and stoutness with which he asserts it, and frankly confess, that a dif ferent conduct would have lowered him in their esti mation."—lt is, however, asserted as a fact beyond all doubt, that his Royal Highness the PRINCE Re- GENT did authorize a communication to be made to the friends of the Catholics, that resistance to Catholic .Emancipation should no longer be made a Cabinet measure, but that EVERY MAN holding a place should vote as he pleased upon it. We infer from all that has been made known on this point, that Ministers are willing to ad mit into office men who may be in favour of Catholic Emancipation, and to allow them, oft that question, to vote as they please. The Duke of BEDFORD had an audience of the PRINCE R.r.orwt on Friday last. alt was granted at the desire of Ms Grace, who, as it is generally known, was anxious, as a Peer of Parliament, to represent to his Royal Highness, at this most momentous crisis of the public affairs, the alarming situation in which Ireland would b e . pl ace d by hi s Royal Higi ness's recent determination with regard to the future administration of the Government ; and likewise the calamitous effects which would most probably result from the eiSapptiintment of the Catholic body, who had hitherto looked to the PRINCE'S accession to the unrestricted exercise of the Royal authority, as the retied at which they would be freed from the disabi lities under which they labour. I'hc Duke of BED ',mini's this instance followed the same course which he had adopttd when he returned from Ireland on the conclusion ti his Vice-Royalty in 1807, when he thought it his Fury to lay before his MAJESTY the views which he had been enabled to form of situa tion of that country (luring his Government of it."— Norssies Chronicle. DOCTOR GA RT SHO RE. Died yesterday morning, about three o'clack, at his house in St. Martin's.lane, in his 81st year, MAX. weal. Gattrustione, M.l). &IL and A.S. M. R. I. the oldest member of the London College of Physi cians, and a subscriber'to'all the literary and chari table institutions in London and Edinburgh. As a physician his loss will long be remembered by the numerous poor who daily availed themselves of his gratuitous and experienced advice : as a benefactor to society, and the philanthropic friend to the young or inexperienced, his death is even still more to be deplored. During a considerable part of his life he regularly distributed nearly a thousand a-year to the necessitous or unfortunate, who never once appealed to him in vain. In him economy WaS a priuciple, the result of just reasoning, which the ignorant or fre• judiced did not always comprehend : but his heart and hand often gave where his prudence condemned. To literature and science he %vas a devotee, and a most liberal patron ; to the poor a benefactor, and to every good man a friend. His sincere piety and unostentatious beneficence will hallow his memory, while his charity and liberality surpassed even his fortune. As his life was active and beneficent, so ,was his death tranquil and happy; and he retired from this world in a gentle repose. Unfortunately it is not the lot of humanity to possess many men with more of the virtues, and fewer of the vices of society. As a zealous and efficient friend he was perhaps never surpassed—and, entirely devoid of all secret impulses of vanity or ambition, his greatest delight was in the exercise of benevolence and kind offices to mankind. The Antigalliras Monitor says, that it Was sating to SIMoN that a French Officer of the name of DUTACHE, on parole at Odiham, was shot on his arrival in France. A party of prisoners were ready to set off in a cart from the elepot, trader the direction of SIMON, among which number was DUTACME; however, SIMoN Wish ed him not to go till next time, which caused some words between them. He was, shortly after, at the intercession of some friends with the Transport Board, allowed to return to France. In the mean time, one of SIMON'S convoys of deserters was apprehended on the road : he took it into his head that DyTAcus had occasioned it; he therefore immediately wrote a let ter to the French Minister of Police, charging Du- TACHM with having betrayed his countrymen, and of bring an English spy. A copy of this letter was found amongst SIMON'S papers. The unfortunate Du• TAC/18, on his arrival at Morlaix, was, in consequence of this denunciation, shot, without even the form of a trial, as the letter to the Minister of Police arrived be. fore him. The charges against Saone and his associates •are quite sufficient to send them before a court-martial; but our Government has thought proper not to push the matter any fu: :her, and has determined simply to treat Stator► as • prisoner of czar who has broken hie parole, and to confine h:m is Dumbarton Castle, where he will not be able to pursue his system of Propaganda fin-then As to his associates (thosq that are aliens), tiley were sent off, on Friday last, in a cartel, from Portsmouth to Morlaix, via...— DESGUZIMAIS, an artificial Corist, residing in St. James's street.

Seven of them were executed on the 11.5 th; twenty-five were under close confinement ; and the whole of the garrison were daily employed in Courts-martial. The EUPHRATES and MONARCH had not arrived at St. Helena when ' the ACTRON left. It is supposed they must have encountered souse heavy gales of wind.
