The following is the, determination of the Prince Re gent respecting Sir Robert Wilson mid Captain Hutch inson—and, whilst the whole country acknowledges the • mildness of his Royal Highness, the parties themselves must add, to that feeling of contrition which we hppe they have, a deep sense of gratiaude for the moderation displayed by the Prince Regent; unexpectedmoderntion it must be to Sir 11. Wilson, who in the following paragraph of hislett cr to LordCrey, published in thez`xt of Amu sat ion, contemplated a more seriws mark of his Sovereign's dis pleasure: " lle does not dissemble the unpleasant conse quences of his cnterprizc—hc was not ansbitions to be imprisoned, or to lobe his Commission: but Alie-was re signed on both points."

"In the instance of Major-General Sir IC Wilson, the I'rinee Regent Blinks it mrcessary to express his high displeasure that an tftficer of bisf-Aantling iii kis Majesty's service, holding the comm is s ion amt , reeeiving the pay a Major-General, should Lamest een so muntindfid of what was due to his professitin,as" , ..ll as to the ()over 1111 l mit under whose protection he had vokmta rily placed himself, as to have eugageil in a measiii e the declared o bje c t ofvvhirh was to counteract the laws and defeat the public justice of that country. Nor does his Royal Hielmess consider the means by which this measure was ac'' ollIpliACII as icisrepre hensible than the act itself. For his Royal Highness cannot admit that any ciriminsti.nee could justify a British Officer in having obtained. under false pretences, passports in feigned names from the Representative of his own Sovereign, and having Made use of such passports for himself and a subject of his Most %Christian Majesty, tinder sentence for high treason, disguised in a British Uniform. not only toeltude the vigilance °lithe French in., venime nt, but to carry him in such disguise through the British lines.

THE NATIONAL REGnittt MUNGO PARK. -.......- Every circtimstence that can elucidate the fate of the ex• plover of Africa is hetet esting, although, from the length of time that has elapsed since he was last heard of, the probability of his being in existence is so as scareelv to afforil the most distant ray of its being realized. The following i-, however, It singular coincidence, and there call be nu doubt but the white men therein menti o ned might be Park, and pro bably his fellow-traveller Lieut. Marty.; particularly as it is known they embarked on the. •Niger with only three of their companions, and also that nu pvrsons, as is there described, conid ',assails , he in the interior of that country, and !similarly situated, Lint them. The manner in which this information has been obtained is rather singular, but there seems no reason to doubt of its correctoess. It appears that some time Since a gen tleman accidentally observed in Loudon a seaman whom he hail seen at Cadiz, w here he sell kuown from his having been in Africa, mid at •rombuctoo, a city winch no white person benne has beeu able to reach, although it is the great object of European research. This seaman, whose name is Robert Adams, be longed to the American ship Charles (and is a native of America, born on Iludsoies river), and was wrecked Oct. 11, ale, near a small place called El Gazie, on the African coast, to the northward of Cape Blanco; and, with the rest of the crew, made peipeoers by the Mborsi After some short time the whole were cm %eyed by the barbarians across the great desert to tiondenny,' thence to 'lombectoo, experiencing the greatest fatigue and hardships. After a slavery itt various places Mr four years, and undergoing every erne{ treatment, he a as so fortunate as to have his ransom effected by Mr. Dupuis, the consul at 3101:adore, front whence lie most to Fez; obtained a rssage to Cadiz, a here he remained mail peace with the United States was concluded, and tiltimate:y arrived in Lou. don. He states, that among the negro slaves at Wed noon (where, fr his being it a bite new, he attracted great notice) was a %101114111 who said she came from a 'duce called KAIMO lung may across the desert, and that she had seen in her owu country alike men, 114 white as " bather" (meaning fist. white aid:), and in a large boat with two high sticks in it, with cloth upon UK at, and that they rowed this boat in a manner dtflerent front the custom of the negroes, who use paddles. In stating this, site made the motion of rowing with oars, so as to leave no doubt that she had seen a vessel in the European fashion, and matined by a bite people. Admits at rived at this place August e 3, tall. and remained there till September lola. Of the slaves purchased at 'I ombnetoo and other places, and brought by the atoms and Arabs across the great desert, come from countries sery far to the eastward ; it is therefore not improbable to suppose, that the place from whence this woman came might be the kingdom of Ghana, or (7ano, on the Niger, lying between the loth and lath elerres E. Latitude. Supposing this correct, the curious tt l.rtmon of this person will anon, reasonable ground fur conjecturing that Park Imee made lintlier pi ogress on the Niger time Wire the 'Mile states he parted a tit him; and as Paßl.'s death by drowning, together with his companions, unly occurred the day after the guide gave lip his charge, he could not have made any great progress in his voyage. The time that intervened beta elm the depar ture of Park (ram tiansanding, :tor: he embarked on the Niger the 17th of November 1503, and his reported death at Sills either in Mardi or early in April 18013, would greatly ad. mit of his having reached a territory inure distant than Kamm. That this enterprising traveller has met his death is almost certain, but the time, place, or circumstances under which it occurred, are enveloped iu mystery, and rest alone on the bare assertion ofhis guide, who, it moist be recollected, was trot an es c.aituess of the event, hut obtained the information from others. . _ At Wed-noon, the only witite person whleh Adam found there was a Frenchman, who had been FilipUrtekl'll and taken into slavery. The temptation which had brew held out to this man, as is invariably done by the tollowers of Alalimuct to all Chi i•• tians who unfortunately fall in their power, etas too stron4 for him to resist. Ile had therefore turned 31aniiinetan, and was in consequence circumcised, by winch means he was immedi ately removed from slavery, allowed to Marry, and was the fa ther of several children. At this place he had resided twelve )eal-. and obtained a livelihood by malsiii,7 guuponder, which was purchased with great avidity by the Moors and Arab, all of %%1111111 were entirely ignorant of the process used in its mann rieture. This secret the Frenchman studiously kept from them, and alwass made the gunpowder :thole in a room of his house, to %%tacit no one rise had access. It is repo:ted he is since dead. STA 'NW.
