PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 13. OnWe:lnesdny arrived in this city. hie Excel lency Don Louts 1)i Osts, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from FECDINAND VII. to the Ci:ited States, accompanied by his suite. Also Don BART IIoLoMEW RENtilit4ET. Consul from Ilia CAIIIOLIC MAJESTY, for Phila delphia: The detention of the Afriraine frigate, and oleo that of the British packet at New-York, have ex cited mach speculation, and conjecture: We ,do not doubt that it is the wish of the British Minister to convey to Isis Government, the aentlitents and daspasition of the American Government at this particular juncture, and, we believe, thet, before this day, Mr. SIIITII and Mr. JACKSON have had some serious and impsirtant discussions. The time has arrived when the two Governments should come to explanations, that, in one way or the other, may put an end to the doubts and uncertainties, which have so long attended their relations. If we look to the angry fulminations of The National Irtelligre(rr, unsl the scurrilous invectives of the Demote aim Papers, and particularly those of theta which sire supposed to possess the con fi•lenee, Al they certainly do the patronage of the Adinini,tration, we cannot in candour say, that our hopes of any amicable adjustment are sengwilie. It, unfortunately. the present attempt at adjostreeiit should fail, we believe no other will be made, and the consequence will b., what has been so lout; desired by the democratic party in this country, and a considerable putty in tile ether. ‘Ve need othr no argument. or Miser relicts, to prose what are and have long been the tiros of a vast majority of the democratic party in this country. In Great Brit'.u, there has been • powerful party, who have been at all times desirous fur a war eith this country, composed chiefly of the nary, the shipping iaterest generally. and more tvi r ticu holy the East and West-India interiests.—Op p.rsesl t• this party, hare been the army, the *hole manufacturing interest, and theme interested ill the American trade. These latter, exclusive of the int policy of war with this country, addressor:lllle Mier estsmid fears of the nation, and reasoning from what they apprehended to themselves particularly, per haps over-rated the importance of oar commerce. In these apprehensions. the West take Coloniespar took lar g e ly. We are assuvrtd. by very imelligent persons. who have recently visited &Hain, and by others who have visited her West India Colonies, that a great change has taken place, the number of our friends have diminished, and the opprehen uns once existed, have ceased. .Those ar goinents which were OuCe with so much appearance of reason 'Addressed to the apprehensions of the na tion, are now abandoned, or treated with contempt. The manufacturers have diacoveren that our ember goes m.(l non-intereourses,did not ruin them,and the tl'est-India Colonists have found that they slid not starve. The latter hate been compelled to the Lite. of means a hie), they did not know were in their pos scission. Commercial warfare, for that was the kind of war waged, has always. the effect of draw ing forth resources. which nothing but necessity could &scoter. Every person who had any know ledge, derived from personal observation, foresaw and predict'd the consequences that would result from the impolitic system of commercial restric tions adopted by the'ate administration. The ef fects upon ourselves were certain, upon the other party, they were at least doubtful. There is, however, a ?cry large proportion of the people of England, who are averse to war with this coun try. and so we believe is the povernineut.—lii making this assertion, we would not mean to ascribe any great share of mnderation to the British Coternmesit, but her interests are so manifestly promoted by peace with the United States, that she cannot. we should think, be brought to enter into a war, if it can be avoids d. But if the irritations which have exisdell so long, are um checked by ad amicable adjustment, and that speedily, we believe it will not be in the power of either government to ret.train a temper which will not be liatitbed bet by war. tau these considerations erefeel DO stscostates desrtt If solicitude fur dm result of those segatio. • thus, which have, so doubt, been opened at Rub• inston.—(lVorfiaGaiette, Sept. to.) , A Paper of Saturday evening, and several of tie, Papers of yesterday, 'copying from it, state, that. soon after the arrival of the ilfrkaine in the Chesapeake, several of the crew deserted in one of her boats ; the men were claimed by Captain Itanouvr, but the American teat seemed to be the judges in the case; for, thongh there appeared every disposition in the Government to reature the men, .they were never given up, and it was attributed to the influence of the mob.
