Amelia Island is not yet taken possession of by the forces of the United States ; and if the following article may be considered authentic, some hesitation exists on the part of the American Government as to its further proceedings. (mom THE PHILADELPIII% PAPER OF THE 29th DEC. " IMPORTANT.—We learn from a correct source, says the Nov York Gazelle, that all Government proceed ing.s relative to the Floridas are for the present suspend ed, in consequence, it is believed, of orders received by the Spanish Minister from his Government. " The ilavonnah Journal, of Dec. 2, contains a let ter from Field Marshal Pascual de Linan, to the Vise my of New Spain, inclosing the dispatches of Col. Fran cisco de Orrantia, on the subject of the.. defeat of Mini on the 9th October. " The Georgia Journal of the 16th December con tains the official dispatch confirming the entire loss of the small detachment of General Gaines 's army." We have private letters from Bombay, which com municate to us in a more detailed form than has yet been published in this country, the arrangement made with the Pcishwa. He cedes to the British Government territories yielding a clear revenue of S 4 lacs of rupees —25 of them fiat to the Bombay Presidency, by our occupation of the country from Panwell, or l'anwelly, 27 miles E. cf Bombay, to Demaun, on the coast N. of Bombay—a line of territory about 80 miles. We are to occupy besides, the Bassein and Jambosvn and its pendencies, and also have the Peishwa's share of tribute from Kattywar. . _ The remaining nine lace of rupees go to the Presi dency of Madras. These are provided for by cessions in the Carnatic and the forts of Darwar and Kishelgur. The important fort of hmednuggur is also ceded to us with land around it to 2000 yards. It was taken by General Wellesley on the 12th of August, 180$, and ceded to the British by Dowlut flow Scindia, at the treaty concluded in December 1803. In April 1804 it was restored to the I eishwah. The possession of this fortress gives the command of the city of Poonah, and attords the best entrance into the territories of the Peishwah and the Nizain. Certain pasture lands are alskgiven us fur our troops in the Deccan. On our parts we are to augment our subsidiary force to 12,000 men. The Peishwah is also required to main tain irregular horse and toot, amounting to 8000 men, to be officered by Europeans. In addition to the above intelligence, it is known that large field forces are on foot after th e Pindaries, under Sir Thomas Hislop and Sir John Malcolm, Brigadiers Doveton, Smith, and Floyer, Sir Johu Malcolm is aseociated with Sir Thomas llislop in the conduct of political affairs. The Marquis of Hastings is also up the cou:: try.—Courier. The French Papers of Tuesday last have arrived.— They contain the continuation of the discussion upon the Recruiting Law, in the Chamber of Deputies. The examination of the general principle of the measure is at length closed, but there still remains a formidable scope for debate iu the thirty articles of which it it composed, and the numerous atuendments that have been superinduced. The French Minister of Marine has received a des patch from Cayenne, dated the iSth of November, from Count Cam Saint Cyr, Administrator of that colony, stating, that on the Bth of that month he had taken possession of C • a;•e:itic and French Liu.ytume in the name of t h e King. PEP. 1 FINE ARTS. CH tUCEIt'S CAN rEKBUItY PiLORIMS. The appearance of the long expected print from IV!r. Stothard's charming picture of this subject, has called forth critical and descriptive accounts on all hands. Much as we admire both the painting and the print, we will not venture an observation of our own upon either, but we catmt forbear presenting our readers witi; the fol lowing able letter, written by the late John Hoppner, Esq. ILA , at the time the picture was first exhibited. It acquires additional importance, when we reflect that Mr. Hoppner, as a critic, was not distinguished for that suavitur in mod°, which sometimes stamps a sus• vicious character• upon the most able critique. To RICHARD CUMBERLAND, Esia. ', May 30, 1807, _ _ . " DEAR SIR,—You desire me to give you some ac count of the procession of Chaucer's Pilgrims, painted by Stothard, and the task is a pleasing one ; for the praise called forth by the merits of a living artist, from a rival iu the pursuit of fame, is, I feel, like mercy. twice blessed— " I bleiseth him that eves, and him that takes•" " The painter has chosen that moment for his pic. titre when the Pilgrims may be supposed to have dis. engaged themselves from the multitude that bustle in the environs of a great metropolis, and are collected together by Harry Baillie, their guide and host. The scene is theretOre laid in that part of their road front London that commands a view of the Dulwich hills, where it may be supposed, the host could, without fear of interruption, proclaim his proposal of drawing lots, to determine who should tell the first tale. He is re. presented standing in his stirrups, and appears to ex ult in the plan he has formed for their mutual enter tainment. You see the group gently passing forward —all are in motion—yet too well satisfied with each other to be eager fur their journey's end. The features of each individual are touched with the most happy discrimination of character, and prove the painter to have studied the human heart with as much attention, and not less successfully, than the poet. " This intelligent group is rendered still more inter. ening by the charm of colouring, which, though simple, is strong, and most harmoniously distributed through out the picture. The landscape has a deep toned brightness, that accords most admirably with the fi. gures ; and the painter has ingeniously contrived to give a value to a common scene and very ordinary forms, that would hardly be found, by unlearned eyes, in the natural objects. He has expressed too, with great. vi vacity and truth, the freshness of morning, at that season, when nature herself is must fresh and bloom ing—the Spring ; and it requires no great stretch of fancy to imagine we perceive the influence of it on the cheeks of the Fair Wife of Bath, and her rosy compa nions, the Monk and Friar. " In respect of the execution of the various parts of this pleasing design, it is not too much praise to say, that it is wholly free from that vice which the painters. term manner; and it has this peculiarity beside, which I do not remember to have seen in any picture ancient or modern, that it bears no mark of the period in which it was painted. but might very well pass for the work of some able artist of the time of Chaucer. This effect is not, I believe, the result of any association of ideas. connected with the costume, but appears in a primitive simplicity, and the total absence of all affectation, either of colour or pencelling. " Having attempted to describe a few of the beau ties of the captivating performance, it remains only for me to mention one great defect—the picture is, not.. withstanding appearances, a modcre one. But if you can divest yourself of the general prejudice that exists against contemporary talents, you will see a work that would have done honour to any school, at any period. " I am, Dear Sir, &c. " Jour; HOPPNER." We have to state, that upon the appointment of Mr. Robinson to be Treasurer of the Navy, the salary an nexed to chat office has been reduced from four to three thousand a year. We understand that the Right Hon. F. Robinson is to have a scat in the Cabinet.—Coarier. STRATHFIELDsAv.--Sotne erroneous statements hay ing appeared respecting the negociation for the purchase of the estate belonging to Lord Rivers, for the Duke of Wellington, we are induced to give, from a correct alum, a brief detail of what has hitherto taken place relative to the intended purchase :—The estate of Strathfieldsay having been offered to the Doke of Wel lington, Mr. Wyat was scat down to survey it, who valued the propeaty at 405,C001. including the timber. The Duke of Wellington then went to Strathlieldsay, and took a rapid view of the estate, of which he highly approved. The next question to be considered was, how the money should be paid, so as to leave a sufficient reserve for building a magnificent house. It was pro posed, that Government should buy all the timber itpoa the estate, which was not considered by Mr. Wyatt to be ornameatal. A person was, in consequence, cm plovcd to value the timber, who marked off between 9 and 10,000 trees, which arc estimated to be worth, at on average, 101. each. Thu bargain has thus been made; and we believe its completion only waits the payment of the money to Lord Rivers, upon the urvai terns being gum: through. _y. .701 TUE ENtiIIING NEE".
