The following account of an entertainntent which has been given to him on the occasion of his ap proaching departure, by the citizens of Wasbingtoli, best show the estimatinn in which he is held in that quarter, and evince the satisfactory manner in which ho has con ducted the important diplomatic affairs which have been trusted to his chatge " At a Meeting of a numberof the citizens of Washington and Al:tu bers of Congress, held by public notice, on Thurs da y evening, the 24th of February, HMI, it was " Resolved unanimou-ly— That this meeting has learned with un feigned regret, that the Right Honourable Charles R.

Admiralty, Friday, April 22. A tiel;!ittit has been this day received announcing a glo ?Mos rictnry ga;t,cd by Admirals Grey and Althorp, com mr.nt:ing the constitutional sqradron, o‘er the combined of the anti- rt 4tmers and horottghmongers in St. Ste phen's Bay. On 'canard his Majesty's ship Reform, anchored of Thorny used, April 22. have the liononjakamensistupicate. for the information of the' friends and stirteotters of the British constitution. the details of a splendid victory gained over the combined flotilla of the borongimumagers, under the command of Admirals Peel and Wharuchiffe, in St. Stephen's Bay. At six, p. m. on the 21st of April, Admiral Wharaeliffe having formed the Mansfield advice-boat, the Carnarvon steamer, the Newcastle trader, and the Londonderry fire ship, in order of battle, with a flotilla of small craft iu the rear, I directed the Richmond and Burdett to watch the enemy's movements. As half-past six Admiral Wlowitcliffe hoisted signals for a general attack on the vessels ruder my command, and endeavoured to annoy the Royal William, the leading ship of our squadron. Seeing the intended manoeuvre could not succeed during the night, I worked op to windward, and in the morning had the weather-gage of the enemy. The Royal William having taken a fine position for the purpose of bearing down, and breaking the enemy's line, 1 despatched the Lord Faux, the Lansdowne and Melbourne to act as tenders, and support the Royal Standard. Admiral Wharncliffe, finding himself to leeward, and in a desperate position, commenced a running fire. The Lon donderry made sail at the same to get alongside the Rich mond, but in the attempt was nearly blown out of the water by the skilful pointing of the Richmond's guns. The Lon donderry, endeavouring to exhibit a coup d'etat, found she was only making a coup de desepoir, and finally re ceived a coup de jarnac. The Richmond and Clan ricarde were engaged yard-arm and yard-arm with the Boroughmongering [flotilla, when the Lord Vaux ran in and fired a dreadful broadside upon the enemy. She then tacked and stood off again for a more combined movement. The Londonderry, rushing with too much precipitancy into the heat of the action, blew up, and her guns going off at the same time, the explosion, which was heard far from the scene of action, struck terror into the enemy. The Mansfield opened a cross fire, and endeavoured to parley, but was silenced by the Royal William, which came up in gallant style to put an end to the engagement. I The thunder of her guns soon made the horoughmongers :um from their quarters, and hide in holes and corners. Victory finalty clowned the brave reformers, and the enemies of the constitution were crushed to rise no more. PERFORMANCE OF SACRED MUSIC. PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY, ST. GEORCE'S FIRLDS, SURREY.

Al I. 071111111 •Rt COUNTIIIIIIIL The following petition, save the Londonderry Journal, by the Grand Jury of this county, 13 of whom appear to be Justices of the Peace, is an instance of the wide diffusion of sound and humane principles among the educated portion of the community. We suspect that in all legislative bo dies there is a strong partiality to capital punishment, arising from its cheapness and compendiousness, and also from the fact that the acts which have been declared to be crimes are such as are seldom committed but by persons between whom and those in whom the legislative power is usually vested there is little sympathy or community of feeling; but, of all criminal codes, that of England is preeminent for its barbarity. Of all banking establishments, the Bank of England has alone remained insensible to the inhumanity and absurdity of thepresent laws. Its conductors or law officers seemed at one time to take even a morbid delight in the number of individuals, men, women, and boys, who were immolated to its vengeance. This may appear a most uncharitable im putation ; but how else are we to account for the refusal of the Bank to improve the execution of its notes, the clumsi ness of which holds out, even to the most illiterate, the strongest temptations to forgery ? " We will not alter the workmanship of our notes," said the Directors, " until we discover the model of one which is proof against imitation" —as if tiny thing which is made by the bands of man may not be intitated by man ! The gibbets continued to groan under the load of the Bank's victims until 1820, when cer tain London Juries revolted from the task of serving up to its banquets of blood, and sternly refused to give credit to its witnesses. Since then there has been a surcease of ca pital prosecutions on the part of the Bank. The changes which Sir Robert Peel introduced into the forgery laws, are atrikingly characteristic of the man. Sir Robert, though um row minded, is made of penetrable stuff, he is not altogether insensible to sound principles. He even in some instances, adopts those principles, but then he ne ver fails to adulterate them with the leaven of his own early prejudices. MI his measures are compromises between bigotry and liberalism. When he deals with an evil of any kind he only removes what is most offensive on the surface, but leaves all its inherent virus untouched. If he can only screen an abuse frnm the most vulgar obloquy his loftiest aim is accomplished. " To the Flonnurahle the House of Commons, In Parliament Assembled. The Petition of the following Members of the Grand Jury, assembled at Londonderry, Lent Assizes, 1831. Humbly Sheweth— That your petitioners feel persuaded that the existing laws relating to forgery serve, in the majority of cases, to defeat the objects of jur. dee, and to enable the delinquents to escape with impunity. That a mitigated punishment, when uniformly enforced, proves a much mote effectual means fur the prevention of crime than sanguinary enactments ; end, from reference to the laws of the Gaited States of America, they are convinced that an eff e ct u al secondary punishment may be estab lished.

We beg you to feel ossified, when you shell have returned to your native noun. try, .hat you have left beyond the Atlantic a large circle of friends, by whom your elegant hospitality, your ever ready benevolence, your frank and cordial minnt.rs, and your truly estimable character as a gentleman, a scholar, and member of society, will always be held in true teuirmirrance.

GEnsr.suex—l Sad it a difficult task to acknowledge, in language congenial to my feelings, the communications which you hare been delegated to make to me of resolutiuos passed on the 24th instant, at a meeting of Members of Congress and Chianti of IVashington. ex. pressive of their regret upon my approaching departure from the Untied States; of the good opinion which they have been pleased to fora of my conduct while residing among them as his Britannic Majesty's A/ h olster ; and requesting my company at a public bail, to be given on Tuesday next. The unbounded kindness and regard manifested in your leuer, and in resolutions which it conveyed to me, so far exceed any sentiments of filendship and good will that I can presume to leave inspired during the delightful social intercourse which I have so long enjoyed, that 1 must be permitted to attribute the distinguished honour conferred up..n me, rather to my official character, and to that good feeling which happily subsists between our respective nations; ldn. drrd in origin, kindred in language, and in wise institutions of Go vernment. I have witnessed with joy and admiration the United States teeming with happiness and prosperity, and it is my prayer that their citizens may long enjoy the blessings of their social and political conditions, and continue to bee great and happy people. I shall return to the presence of my sovereign with pride and confidence, after the noble testim on y which you have given, that I have executed the duties of the enissioo, which his Majesty graciously entrusted to me, to your satisfietion. I beg you, gentlemen, to be assured, that I entertain the most grateful sense of the manner in which you have discharged your duty as a coal. mitts delegated to make known to me the resolutions passed on the 24th instant • and I accept, with pride an d pleasure, the distinguish e d invitation which has been offered to me. I have the honour to be. with the highest consideration and regard, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, CHARLES R. VAUGHAN. General John P. Van Neu Hon. J. Johnston, and Hon. S. P. Carson. THE BALL TO MR. VAUGHAN. We noticed in our last the entertainment given to Mr. Vaughan, the British Minister, who is about to leave our country to return to his home. The incidents of the even ing were of the most gratifying nature. Amongst them nothing was more admired than the frankness and felicity of the brief address by Mr. Vaughan, in which he has acknow ledged the kindness of a toast given in honour of him as the guest if the company. Having heard it attentively, we ven ture to offer the following as a substantial report of it : " I sin sensible of the very Battering termo in which the Mayor of Washington has. proposed to you to think my health ; and I rise to offer my most heartfelt thanks to the Members of Congress, and to the citizens of Washington, whu have been pleased this night, to give me a splendid and cordial tranifestation of theinvegard. I am, indeed, for tunate, in having conciliated their good opinion, end won their esteem, while faithfully discharging my dudes as his Britannic Majesty's Minister. " I think that i read, in the cheering countenances before me, that generous spirit of conciliation which obliterates all recollection of an cient animosities. God grant that the friendship and union betWiell the United States and Great Britain may be as indissoluble as their mutual interests can make it, and as affectionate as it ought to be be tween nations kindred in origin, in language. in free and wise institu. tions of government.
