By way of ushering in the New Year, the ama teurs of the fist had a full day's sport cut out fur Monday ; no less than three tights, which had been made some lime, having been fixed to take place. These matches were decided on Monday on High gate Common, in the presence of a very numerous field. The first match fur 40 guineas, was be tween an Irishman of the name of Christie, who never fought a pitched battle before, and a second rater of the twee of Burn. This battle afforded but very little diverson. Christie could neither give nor stop, and his adversary, although he possessed some science, bad no gift at hitting, and but suspicious bottom. After a hugging bat tle of forty minutes, Burn was declared the vie. tor. Richtnati, the black, and Blake were the se. conds. The second battle war betwixt two well known boxers in miniature; the one of which was Bal. lard, a Westminster lad, and the pupil of the ve. terra Caleb Baldwin, and the other Charles Bran. awn, who has combated with Dixon and others. This was a good battle, which consisted of real fighting for three quarters •f an hour. Ballard is a stout man, but of inferior stature to his ad. versary, who set to in the best form. By agility and strength, with science on both sides, 13allard was enabled to put in blows of force, and although Brannam hit °fleetest, the blows of his adversary were so planted on his body, that he gave in when sitting on the knee of his secoud, unable to rise. Brannam hail another disadvantage, he lamed himself iu both hands iu the early part of the cent est. A third and sanguinary battle, which lasted 35 minutes, took place betwixt two brethren of the lust. The combatants were sturdy, determined, unscientific men, and they displayed plenty of bottom. The looser was two stone light►st, and be fought resolutely, and exchanged many blows, but strength at length presided. There were. several Gentlemen amateurs of distinction on the ground, and a multiplicity of persons went to Acton by mistake, as the matches were first fixed to take place there, and altered at ten o'clock ow Sunday misfit.

Mrs. S. had been to church in the morning, and had gone through her occupations of the day as usual; in the after. noon she appeared to be drowsy, and retired, as the family thought, to bed: Mr. S'had not missed' per' ten minutes, when he haitened to her bed room, but she was not there, and art immediate search was made out of the house, when a stable. door, behind the premises, was discovered to be locked, with the key inside; the door was broke open, and Mrs. S. was found hanging , by a small' cord, arid quite dead. No particular reason can be assigned for her having committed this t unhappy deed of suicide.

" At our first interview (on tke 29th June) verbal communication was not discountenancedi but commended : for, after I had made myself un. derstood as to the purpose for which the interview had been requested, you asked me if I thought of taking a more formal course ; but immediately ad ded that you presumed I did not, for that the course! had adopted was well suited to • the occa sion. My reply was in substance, that the free. dem of conversation was better adapted to our subject, and inure likely to conduct us to an ad. vantageous conclusion, then the constraint and formality of written intercourse, and that I had nut intended to preseut a note. At the second in. terview (en Ilse Stild July) it dist stet emiev .to me that I had any reason to conclude, and certainly I did not conclude, that verbal communication had not continued to be acceptable as a preparatory course, and it was not until the third interview (on the 29th July) that it was rejected as inadmis.

The explanations which you request from me upon that subject shell be given with candour, and I will proceed, accordingly, to lay before you an abstract of the communications which I add to his Majesty's Government relative to the unofficial conversations which I had held with Mr. Madison (then Secretary of State), Mr. Gallatin, and myself, st the time and upon the occasion al. luded to by his Majesty's Secretary of State (Mr. Canning) in that part of his instructions to me, of which you inform me you have received a printed letter from Mc. Pinkney. Upon referring to my dispatches, addressed to his Majesty's Government of the 3d and 4th De. cember but, in which these commenicatiops are , detailed, I conclude that the Conversations alluded to must have been held some days previous to that period, and were to the following effect : Mr. Madison (then Secretary of State)" is re. presented by me to have tinted various arguments tending to prove that the United States had exert. ' ed all their efforts to persuade the French Govern. went to withdraw their unjust restrictions upon neutral commerce, and that recourse :night have been had to measures of more activity and decision against France that: mere remenstrances, but that, in the mean tin e, Great Britain had issued her Orders in Council, .before it was known whether the u n it e d States would acquiesce in the aggresious of France, and thereby .rendered it impossible to distinguish-between the conduct of the . two Betli gerents, who had equally committed aggressions against the United States. After some other observations, Mr. Madison is stated by me at that time to have ialded; that as the world must be convinced tlat America had its wain. taken all the means in her power to obtain from Great, Britain and France a just attention to her .9gtatcaca neutral power, by representations and reMoustrances, that site would be fully justified iu haviug fectkiirse to hostilities with either bellige sdnt, and thLthe only hesitated to do so from 'the slitiWiltylor contending with both ; but that she tunic. be driven even to endeavour to maintain her rights against the two greatest powers in tee world, unless either of them should tell* tbkir leitril.tiona upon neutral couiwree; in vitguitcaia . - * I .i ' • 4:4 • II
