Owe between the Secretary of State and Mr. J sox, we understand that Mr. JACKSUN had stated, that the dispatch from Mr. CA NN !NG to Mr. LRswe.rc, of the 123t1 January, WAS the only dispatch by which the clinditions were prescribed So Mt. ERSKINE for the cowl:wino of an arrangement with this country, on the matter to which it re. lated,—that Mr. Sarin, in his reply, had acined Mr... Taco. fox that no 'tech declaration had ever before beta made to the Government ; and added, that if that dispatch had bees emninunicated at the time of the arrangement, gsr iif it had been kinisin that the propositions contained in it were the only ones on which he was authorised to make an arrange. ment, the arrangement would 110 i hare been made,—that, not witletauding this assurance, Mr. J vcitso N, indecorously used a laNuage implfiag that Mr. ERSKINE'S instruc tions acre at the time made 'mono to this Govern ing in, —that in Mr. 111111T1I'S answer all intimation was distinctly given to him that each an insinuation was inadmissi ble, and especially after the explicit a..severation of this Go vernment. that they had no such knots ledge, and that with witch knawledeo each an arrangement would not have. been made—that in Mr. J ACKSON•i nest letter the same gross insinuation having been reiterated, and even auravated, it only reinained„ in order to preclude opportunities, which had been thus abu'ed. to informs. Mr. Jacasno, as Mr. SMITH did, that no further communications a ould he received from hint, and that the iteer::•ity of this determination nook' with out delay be made known to his Government, with an assur ance :o it, at the.- ne lime, that a ready attention would be given to any eninniunications affecting the interests of the lull nations, through any other functiuuary that may be sobsti toted." WE are vsured, on authority which we have. reason to believe unquestionable, that the loos of the Sl:dniarils, in the battle of °cane, amounted to 8000 killed, 15,000 wounded and vizi:loess, and 67 pieces of cannon.

TOE march of the French troops into the Swiss territory has excited surprise, ev , oi on the Conti neht of Europe, where the vices and immediate objects of France may be presumed to be in ge neral sere correctly known than they arc in this country. That the introduction of these formi dable friends among the peaceful Swiss is nut rod. come, may be easily conceived. The Foreign Journals concur in describing the unexpected visit to have produced a strong sensation. We are hourly told of the brutality and excesses of the French soldiers, the arrogance of the of. Berra, and the iurariable horrors by which the progress of their armies is marked.. With refe rence to Spain and Portugal this may be a correct description: the French troops have committed innumerable outrages on the persons and property of the inhabitants of the Peninsula, who arc in the interest of FLUDINAND the V 1 ith ; but the people of the Peninsula are not remiss in retails tion. Although it has hitherto been found lin. possble to supply the regular troops with arms, it is well known that every peasant has arms, of some description, without which, be uever moves ; and wherever an advanced French Par. ty is surprised by the Peasants, no man is left to tell the talc, and the bodies of the victims are invariably interred on the spot. In this way thousands of the French troops hare disappeared from the commencement of the c.,n. test. We, however, see ho reason to suspect even, that the conduct of the French troops, in entering the Cantons of Switzerland, will be marked by any such scenes of outrage and bru. tality. For whatever political object they may have entered Switzerland, the preservation of the friendship of the inhabitants is clearly the natural policy of France. It has been conjeetttrad, that in the Cantons of Switzer land there existed a stroug party in the interest of Germany, which, bad the French been less ra pidly successful at the opening of the Arvettrian campaign, would have Mem/ themselves. To this party is imputed the having supplied the Tyrolese with arms and gunpowder. Whatever be the oc. easion of the quartering, of French tr,oops in Suit. I zeriand, we shall, at th, remote period, leery the object of France, and that may, in some degree, teed W.Alteclove the ketteral views of that colossal DAY AT ONKOTLOCK. Osimiusti tipre aus.

The Persian Ambassador is said to be an ex cellent poet ; nor need this to excite servile, for the genius of no Asiatic nation is more congenial to poetry than that of the Persians, and in the annals of that country there arc many well n esta i blished instances, where the iiighest aim in the State have been conferred on individuals, solely on account .if the sublimity of their poetical talents, The Court of Pei sia is the must refined sad po lished Genii in Asia, and though, perlialls, its political power may be less predominating now than it was in former hunts, it is certain, that Persia still bears 44 a mighty name" is Asia.

SioooNs is proceeding with great spirit in the conduct of the new Theatre at Edinburgh. Ile recently revived The Winter's Tale in itute City, in so magnificent a stile, as to occasion a very judicious and elegant critique, %s hie; ap. peered in The Edinburgh Evening Courant. Ott Saturday evening levant (aloes escaped from the County Goal of Waterford, by removing two cross bars from one of the loop-holcs in the lower cells' ward, and sealing the walls by marmot of a rupe.ladder thronn over by persons in Tim. as's.hill. Another prisoner, who had just been in the act of ascending the ladder, when it broke under him, was te•cured by the gaoler.— Five of these fellows wer4 some weeks ago sync to the county from the city prison, from which it was apprehended they would have escaped, having several times attempted it ; the other three belonged to the county. From a deliberate euilsith ration of the facts, a view of the prison since the escape, and the character of the keeper, little, if any blame, can he attached to him.
