concern, that the oacial commualettims between his Majesty's Minister in Anterici Mid thiGovernment of the United States, should have been Interrupted, f i e it was pOtsible for his Majesty, by any interpo skim' of his authority, to manifest his invariable dis position to maintain the relations of amity with the United States. u I am commanded by his Majesty to inform yon, t h a t I have received from Mr. Jackson, the most' po sitive assurances, that it was not his purpose to give offence to the Government of the United States, by any expression contained in his letters, or by any part of his conduct. The expressions and conduct of his Majesty's Mi nister in America having, however, aspeared to the G ov ernment of the United States to be exceptionable, die usual course in such cases would have been, to convey, in the first instance, to his Majesty, a formal comp l a i nt against his Minister, and to desire such redress as might be deemed suitable to the nature of the alledged offence. 46 This course of proceeding would have enabled M t Majesty to have made such arrangements, or to have o ff e red such seasonable explanations, as might have ;precluded the inconvenience which must always arise from the suspension of official communication between the friendly. powers. His Majesty, however, is always disposed to pay the I nmost attention to the wishes and sentiments Of States in amity with him ; and he has, therefore, beat pleised to direct the return of Mr. Jackson to rngland. IS But his Majesty has not marked with any ex pression of his displeasure the conduct of Mr. Jack son, whose integrity, zeal, and ability, have long been distinguished in his Majesty's service, and who does not appear on the present occasion, to have com mitted ally intentional offence against the Government of the United States. " I am commanded to inform you, that Mr. Jack son is ordered to deliver over the charge of his Ma jesty's affairs in America to a person properly qualified to carry on the ordinary intercourse between the two Governments, which his Majesty is sincerely desirous of cultivating on the most friendly terms. 41 As an additional testimony of this disposition, I am authorized to assure you, that his Majesty is ready to receive, with sentiments of undiminished amity and good will, any communication which the Government of the United States may deem beneficial to the mu tual interest of both countries, through any channel of negotiation which may appear advantageous to that Government. I request you will accept the assurances of the high consideration with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant, (Signed) 44 WELLESLEY." Wm. Pickney, Esq. &c. &c. &e. The New York Papers contain the following Pro. donation, addressed to the inhabitants of Cuba, by the Governor : PROCLAMATION. It is probable that the invasion of Andalusia will deliver Spain from the chains that were preparing for her by the ferocious usurper, and that, ere four months elapse, the French forces may consider themselves fortunate if they be permitted to retrace their steps across the Sierra, as they have ignominiously done in Gali cia. Mot happy inhabitants of Cuba, and most loyal subjects of Ferdinand, there is no cause for terror or despair. Our beloved Monarch finds more glory in reigning over your hearts than in contemplating the extent of his dominions. If the peninsula is to fall, let it be the inheritance of the pusillanimous and the diffi dent ; shall we not reserve for our beloved Sovereign, Ferdinand VII. the Empire of these vast territories, and of millions of sub jects, to whose happiness he will contribute ? Shall we not pre serve amongst us the holy religion of our ancestors, the sacred depot of the laws, liberty, abundance and happiness ?—Let Napo leon by violence and robbery become Lord of the sell of the peninsula of Spain ; but let Ferdinand VII. be Sovereign of the Spaniards ; the Continent of America could, without inconve nience, admit the whole population of Spain, and our fellow-sub jects, with extended arms, would hasten to receive their unfortu nate and worthy brethren.

Ac cording to , orders lately received 'fiont St. Peters. burgh, ,the army is immediately to march for the Banks of the Danube; because the continuation of the war between the Porte and Russia, is considered ion/table. • An article from namburglt states, that the scheme of marrying FtuatbuiD the Vllth to the daughter of LUCIEN BCOIAPARTE, has .been abandoned, and that she and her father have returned to Italy. American papers to the 29th May have been re ceived, but the ant, novelty which they present is a copy of the correspondence between Marquis WEL LESLEY and Mr. PINKNEY, relative to the recal of Mr. JACKSON, from which we have given some interesting documents. The American Government, as appears by their official paper the National Intelligences-, are dissatisfied with the mode of the concession. The fact is this: there are people in America resolved to seek hostili ties with England ; but we know by numerous letters that all the respectable and wealthy people, particu larly in the Northern States, highly approve of the conduct of our Government —if they disapprove at all, it is at the concessions we have made to men whose threats ought to have been despised, and whose measures of enmity against Britain have been pro ductive of nothing but calamity to the Americans themselves, and particularly to- those engaged in commercial pursuits. This conduct of the American Government has been most ably and freely exposed in a pamphlet recently published at Boston. Three grounds of complaint are stated in the Offi cial Paper—First, That Mr. JICKSON is not to be succeeded by a Minister of rank and talents, but by a Charge diAffaires.-2d, That the recal of Mr. JACKSON is not immediate.-3d, That no expl is given of the disavowal of Mr. ERSKINE'S arrange ment. An article from Boston, May 28, states that Cap tain PLACE arrived at New York on the 22d, from the Havannah, with information, that two days be fore he sailed, that port was open to America ; and it was said the Government and Council had deter mined to take off the ad valorem duty of 34 per Cent. on imports in American bottoms, and to fix the duty of 15 per Cent. on dry goods, and 10 per Cent. on provisions. This regulation was supposed to be in consequence of the news of the French being nnr Cadiz, and it was believed that in the event of the enemy being successful, an independent Government would he es'ablished at the Havannah. The Washington letters confirm the report of dis sentions in the Republican Cabinet. The PRESIDENT and Mr. &Mil/ have differed, and the latter has left the seat of Government. Dispatches had arrived at Washington from France, announcing •the appointment of General Demount:lt as Minister to the United States.

After which, 1.50 of the 2d Regiment, and 150 of the 3d Regiment, were ordered to hold themselves in readi ness for foreign service. Portugal is mentioned as their destination. Yesterday afternoon, the Bth kegiruent of the. Loyal London Volunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel THORLEY. Commandant, mustered at their head-quarters, Dra pers'-hall Gardens, Throgmorton-street, and were in spected by Lieutenant-Colonel ADDENBROK E 0 when they went through their evolutions with punctuality and good order, to the great satisfaction of their respective officers. The Royal Perthshire Militia arrived in Leith roads, on Saturday, from England. They were im mediately landed and quartered in Leith. A detachment of the 73d Regiment at Portsmouth. have embarked to join their Regiment in New South Wales. About a hundred of the 82d likewise em- barked on board transports to join their Regiment in Portugal. The East Suffolk Militia march into Portsmouth on Tuesday next for garrison duty. The Durham Militia,• which has been at Ports mouth more than two years, march for their ow•nn county. About a hundred recruits have just joined this Regiment at Hilsea Barracks. The first battalion of the Ist Buckingham Regi ment of Local Militia, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel STRICKLAND FREEMAN, previous to their hav ing been dismissed from duty, were inspected by Ktjor-General C. C RAWFURD an d C o l one l A UBREY . at High Wycemb, who severally spoke in the highest manner of their very great proficiency in point of discipline ; and declared that they were every way capable of forming a part of the regular line, in case of an invasion. This flattering approbation reflects much credit on the Lord Lieutenant, the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM. and the Officers of the corps who have exerted themslves so much in bringing this battalion to such a pitch of improvement. Thursday, the first Regiment of Ayrshire Local Militia, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel KELSO, on permanent duty at Ayr, received their colours from the Colonel, accompanied by a neat and energetic address. The ceremony of consecration was performed by the Rev. Mr. Ann, in a prayer excellently adapted to the occasion. The 3d Regiment of Royal Lanarkshire Local Mi litia, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel JOHN GEDDES, marched into Glasgow on Saturday forenoon, and commenced their 20 days training and exercise. The Court of Inquiry, which sat at George -strut, Westminster, upnn the charges Preferred by a pri vate of the 2d Tower Hamlets Militia, against Cos lonel MATHEW SMITH and Adjutant Wm.

Bombay Castle, August 5, 1809. The Governor in Council has received with much concern the report of the death of Lieutenan: Cheyne, on the 17th of July, from the wounds sustained h• that gallant officer, in the honour able di,chargot of his preasional duty, in the storm of Mafia, on the 7th of the same month. By the Honourable the Governor in Council. SHEERNESS FORTRESS, JUNE 27, 1810. A false and most insidious paragraph having ap peared in some of the daily Papers, stating that four companies of the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion, when embarked from the Tower on the 15th instant, had huzzaed and cheered Sir FRANCIS BURDETT—Bcg you will insert this, being a direct contradiction to so infamous an asperson, myself and every Officer pre. sent with the detachment, positively assert and pledge our honours on its truth, that we never heard the name of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT mentioned by the Officers or by the men. _ By some error or accident a vessel, containing two companies of the detachment, grounded, when on the eve of sailing, and the Field• Officer commanding the detachment, knowing that the men were unprovided with any rations, or provisions, came off; and stated that he had ordered bread and cheese and porter to be sent off for their use. On, and for this kind atten tion, the men, on his going on shore, cheered him. This will be vouched if required by every Officer of the detachment. VERAX. All vessels ready for sea at Plymouth have been ordered to proceed to sea with all possible dispatch. Their destination is supposed to be the Tagus, in order that they may be ready to assist in removing our army, should the French advance into Portuga with an overwhelming force ; but, although this sup_ position is certainly not irrational, it is nevertheless not improbable that they may be intended to watch the armament which is said to be preparing on the Coast of Brittany. Four ships of the line and some frigates are to be sent out immediately to the Mediterranean, as a naval reinforcement is necessary to prevent an attack on Sicily and on the lonian Islands, as an expedition is is in great forwardness, said to amount to 40,000 men, of which MURAT, King of Naples, is to have the command, and, which have been collecting for some time past on the coast of Calabria. A strong squadron, under the command of Sir ED WARD PELLEW, will sail, in a few days, on a secret expedition. We forbear to mention, for obvious rea sons, the probable destination of this armament, or the port at which it is to assemble. The Report of the Committee on Sinecure Places will afford much information of importance to the Public. Lord ARDEN, the Marquis WELLISLEY, and , several other. Noblemen and Gentlemen, were exami- , ned before the Committee ; and some Parliamentary proceeding is to be. adopted on the subject next Ses-. ' sion. The evil of granting sinecure places has risen to a shameful height, as many hundreds are provided for out of the national purse, who have no claim whatever en the public.
