It is said that Ministers have at lengdi resolved to give America a foretaste of what she may expect from a perseverance in her outrageous conduct to wards Great Britain. The granting of Licences to import American produce is suspended, so that all Commercial Intercourse between the two Countries may now be considered as nearly at an end. While we applaud the vigour which thus levels a chastise ment at the American democrats who have hurried their country into a war, we acknowledge that it would give us much satisfaction to see some discri minative arrangement adopted, by which those States which have manifested an amicable disposition towards this country, might be exempted from the interdict. —The Federalists have fought many a hard battle, both in and out of Congress, for the true interest of both countries, and, if the measure be at all practi cable, should experience from us, even in war, a re. turn of friendship. IA similar system of commercial discrimination, applied to Europe, might also, perhaps, be advan ; tageons. NAPOLEON, whenever he wants revenue licences a limited number of ships to sail to British, Pmts. VA return with prescribed cargoes. Prohibit all trade with Old France, but permit a regulated I trade with the people of Holland and Flanders, of Genoa and Leghorn—with those countries which are only Frock by compulsion. A cii bas come to our knowledge which proves incontestably, that the information received in France on the subject of Sicily, does not wholly ema nate (as the article from the Paris Papers, received Yesterday, would insinuate) from u fugitives," or the "Journals of Palermo and Messina." Lord WILLIAM SZNTiNcic recently intercepted a letter from a certain 'personage to BoisAPitara, in which the writer gave a minute description of the British force in Sicily, and implored the assistance of an army to reconquer the Island. The writer of the letter (who could not deny the hand-writing when it was eshibited), was instantly ordered by Lord Wm. BENTINCK to prepare to quit the Island. The Editor' of the Motsiteur, whose ar ticle we gave yesterday, has more than once evinced au eager desire to replace Sicily under the paternal , care of his Government. j A vessel has arrived from the coast of Asturias, by which letters have been received from ltibadeo to the 11th instant. A proposition has been made, which will probably be extended to each of the privileged ports of Gallicia, Andalusia, Murcia, and Catalonia. At Cadiz, which is the most distinguiilied of those favoured harbours, it has been recommended • by a powerful body of the native merchants, to convert that place into a free port. It has been at last disco vered, that the but thensome duties imposed, without I materially augmenting the revenue, have greatly de `creased the trade, and by the rival intercourse of Gib- I raltar, where no such impositions are exacted, the commerce of this once magnificent depot has been nearly destroyed. . The letters state, that the number of sick in Sou Lr's army alone, amounts to 7000, but that the fever among the British forces has nearly disappeared. The retirement of DALLASTEROS is attributed to some intriguers about his person, who have imposed on the openness and honesty of his nature, and who have awakened all the prejudice and arrogance of the Spaniard, while they put to sleep the liberality and moderation of the Patriot.

After dinner the 'Royal Party attended a Concert at Prigg's Coffee-room, given by the General and the German Officers.

The Prince rested for the night at Copdock, about Nu miles from Ipswich. • The Serjeants at Mace, and others who attend in the procession, and are engaged in the ceremony of, the Sovereign's meeting Parliament, received orders yesterday to be id readiness for next Monday or Tuesday. Tuesday morning, at eleven o'clock, Lord Gwr ma, as Lord High Chamberlain, Sir THOMAS Tye wittrr, as Usher of the Black Rod, a Yeoman Usher, and 12 Yeomen of the Guards, attended at the HoOse of Lords, according to custom, since the days of Guy Faux, to examine the vaults under the House s the last cellar they came to is occupied by a wine merchant —some of the inspectors tasted the contents •of the pipes, to ascertain that they did-not contain gunpowder.

MUNRO, late of the 44d Regiment of Foot.' So uncobtmon a spectacle in that part of the country' attracted a great concourse of spectators. About one o'clock, the unfortunate man was taken froze the■ prison, and led to the place of execution, attended by the Rev. Mr. T. FRASER, and the Rev. Mr. D. MARTIN. On arriving at the place of execution, after prayer and praise, in which the prisoner appeared to join most fervently, he addressed the surrounding multitude in the Gaelic language ; after which he mounted the drop without the least trepidation, and, after delivering a most impressive prayer, he was laUnched into eternity without a struggle. Through out the whole of this awful scene the unfortunate man displayed the most heroic firmness and Chris tian resignation, and spoke with a clearness and con. sistency that astonished all who heard him. The body, having hung the usual time, was carried back to the prison, and given to the surgeons for dissection, in terms of his sentence. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE EXPEDITION AT ALICANT, OF THE 22D OF OCTODER. 6C We have bad little to do since our coming here, but you are not to suppose that we are quite idle. The French have been hovering about the country, and have at least kept us awake t they are certainly active enough. On the 7th, we could not hear ol'a Frenchman within 30 miles ; but about three in the afternoon of the Btit t the Calabrese posts. in front of, San Vincent were suddenly burst through by a strong detachment. These wild Calabrese behaved admirably through the whole affair. Six hundred of the French 4th hussars, and 1500 infantry, ap. peared in 4 moment on the beiglillts above San Vin cente. The German brigade, - In the town ; turned out, threw their rifle companies under cover, and, as the French cavalry advanced, gave them so steady a fire, that the infantry appeared to have been deterred, and they remained peaceably upon the hills. {'he cavalry, in pushing on, fell in first with a patrole of a corporal and six men of the %reign troop (a troop raised by Sir J. STUART, from the foreign regiments of foot in Sicily). The corporal without hesitation, charged the head of the column, and when surrounded, cut his way out, with only a few sabre wounds. Captain kOLJAMDE, of the 20th light dragoons, who was in advance with 4.0 of his regiment, on coming up, was instantly charged by the troupe d'ilite of the 4th hussars, (all members of the Legion of Honour): he not only stood the charge, but retnrned it in the most spirited manner, dashing through and through them. The appearance 'of the 20th dra goons, who were riding up to his assistance, imme diately sent the French to the right about. He bad 12 men killed or wounded. " On our landing here, we were given to under stand that we were to be under the Marquis of WEL. LINGTON'S command. This was conjectured to have been rather perplhing at head-quarters ; and the gossip of the expedition—for I can give you no other —says, that the General found himself not perfectly able to reconcile the orders which he had brought, with those which he had received. The responsibility which his situation threw upon him, great bodily ex ertion since his arrival, and a constitution already much impaired, made him so ill, that he was ob liged to return to Sicily. He was, L believe, a very able and amiable man. 46 You have probably seen some account of it to tile expedition of ours against Denia. 'rim French, in their usual style, made a grand affair of it, and of course drove the English into the sea, &c. The simple story is ; five companies of the 81st, under the command of a Major Waraanotta, with the gre nadiers of DE Roues, the whole directed by the QuarteriMaster-General DONKIN, embarked to recon noitre the castle of Denia, and, it feasible, to take it. They landed before day, drove in a party of voltigeurs, and summoned the Govemor. As he refused to sur render, a; the place was found to contain 800 French, and as a Lugs force was in the neighbourhood, the General though perfectly secure of ilemg able to storm the place, thought it Clot worth the probable loss, and, after some - aright skirmishing, ve..emabarked the detachment. They had five killed, and 15 wounded, two of them taken. A Captain names was slightly wounded in the' shoulder, and a Lida. Batirsui through theme. The French, admit that they lost a LielfteC;d= a Captain, and about 15 men their lust was h y much more.
