IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE PROM AMERICA. We have. received Ncr.v York Papers to the 19th of Mardi, which convey intelligence from Washing ton to the 10th. The Commercial Advertiser of the 11th, contains a document, bearing to `be the copy of a Message sent by President M.+Disou to the genii te aid House of Representatives, in which the Briiiiii"GoVernment `re accused or having fomented dissatisfaction hi several American States against the Government of that country, " for the purpose of bringing about resis'ance to the laws,and eventually, in concert with a British force, of destroying the Union, and forming the Eastern part thereof into a political connection with Great Britain,'.'—Bad as we consider Ministers to be, we cart hardly persuiide ourselves that they have been so profligate as to lay themselves open to the charge here made so formally against them, WASHINGTOV, MARCH 9, 1819, The following is the Copy of a Message sent by the PassiewiT s this day, to both Houses of COO.. —gre9lll— TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE O ItrP4ESENTA TIVEO OF THE UNITED STATES. I lay before Congress copies of certain documents erhich remain in the Department of Stale. They prove, that at a recent period, whilst the United States, not- Itltstaintling the wrongs sustained by them, ceased not to observe the laws of peace and neutrality towards Great Britain, and in the midst of amicable professions sad negociations on the part of the BritishG overnatent, through its public Minister here, a secret agent of that Government was employed in certain States, more especially at the seat of Government, in Massachu setts, in fomenting disaffection to the Constituted itutboviiies of the Nation, and in intrigues with the disaffected, for the purpose of bringing about reslst since to the laws, and eventually, in concert with a British force, of destroying the Union, and forming the eastern part thereof into a political connexion with Great Britain. In addition to the effect which the discovery of such a procedure ought to have on I the public Councils, it will not fail to tender more daar.to the hearts of all good citizens that happy I ;info* of these States, which, under Divine Provi- I • *knee, is the guarantee of our liberties, their safety, their tranquillity, and their prosperity, • (Signed) 43ttis MADISON. I nirch 9, 1812. - This Message was accompanied with the documents p A% Lich It was founded. I have not perused the e...cuments, but understand they contain the corre spludence of the Earl of LavraeooLand Sir James Own, late Gpternor of Canada, with a oertaits Captain Jots flEsay, who is the secret agent spoken of, and Who hits himself made the disclosure to the • 4orrringetit, and given them the documents, al. l leging as the reason, that the British Government had I refused to give him his reward. The Message has produced considerable sensation in Con- I gre..i.s, and will probably strengthen the war party in and out of Congress. It is believed by seine that IlcsaY is endeavouring to impose on Coyernment for some sinister purpose. This, if tree, may be difficult to prove; and the imposing pud positive manner iq which the Message is sent to cougress will have a powerful effect in inflaming the public mind, It had been determined, I under.. ;tend, by a majority in the House, to suspend the farther proceedings on the taxes until the arrival of the Hornet. This was done, it is believed, to secure the concurrence of several Members, who agreed, that if the flornehljd not bring out a repeal of the Orders in Council, they would immediately unite in voting me taxes and deolariag czar. Such, I am told, had become the state of things in the House, when the PitzsinstaT's Message and the accompany. it 4 documents were received—what effect these may produce in relation to ouf war Immures ) a few clays mill preht•ly 4409% THE STAMMAN. 13arbadoes-Journals to the 7th ultimo have &Mr.. ed :—they do not convey much intelligence, but the private accounts state, that very great embarrass-, merits prevail in that quarter.

Yesterday a telegraphic dispatch was received at the Admiralty, announcing the arrival of the Maid stone frigate, with intelligence from Spain; but no thing had transpired as to its nature whey our paper went to press. Private letters, by the Mail of Sa turday, mention, that Earl WELLINGTON, imme diately after the reduction of Badajos, proceeded, with two divisions of his army, into the interior of Spain, iu quest of SOULT. It it stated that 20;000 men wer' employed in the assault, from midnight till.' seven in the morning. The Fusileers behaved most no lily. " They attempted," says a private letter, " to carry the place by a preach made in the wall, opposite where we were last year, in the most dashing manner, and each time they were repulsed, returned to the charge with fury.
