TriUP.SDAY, MAY 14. 1812. We this inioning received New York Papers to thc sth ult. Three Conntnisstoner are to be sent to this country, with the ultimatum of the Ame rican Government. Mr. BAYARD, of the Se nate, Judge LIVIGSTON, and Mr. RuFus KING, are mentioned as the Commissioners. The American Government be g in to acknowledge that the Berlin and Milan Decrees are not repealed, EUONAPARTE having refused to give Mr. - BARLOW any official and written declaration of their repeal. Private letters state, that the embargo of ninety days was to allow sutli,i , nt time for the ultimatum of the Gov. vermnent of the United' States to be sent to Ergo land, and for the answer thereto to bv. returned. We are happy to state that thw ansvp-r. given id 41',c numerous inquiries madeyesterrlayat Mrs Pitt• CLVACS was, that .;lie was well as could possibly be expected. Her situation for many hours after she received the Lew.; of Mr. PERCEVAL'S death wa3 such a, to elcite the most serious alarm in the minds of her family. Lord - REDESDALE, who is married to Mr. PERCEVAL'S sister, was considered as the most proper person to communicate the fatal intelligence to her.--His Lordship performed the painful task with every possible delicacy and pre caution. When she was apprised of the dreadful event, she neither wept nor spoke, nor appeared to be sensible of any thing that was afterwards said to ber ; she remained in that state from 6 o'clock on Manch!) , evening till 11 o'clock on Tuesday morn ing during that interval her relations and friends endeave‘e - ed to rouse her, and, if possible, to excite her to teas, by mentioning the circumstances of Mr. PER CEVAL'S death to her, but in vain. At length her situation excited such serious apprehen sion, that it was determined, the only remaining exredient, to take her to the iom where Mr. PER CEVAL lay, in hopes that the ~;ght would produce the desired effea. The experiment succeeded— the moment she saw the body, she burst in tears. It is proper to stale, that Mrs. PERCEVAL, as soon as she became sufficiently composed to speak' upon the subject, and all the relatives of the late lamented Minister, expressed the strongest wish that no proposition should be made for a public funeral. It is with pleasure we 2(13, that we learned this morning, that Mrs. PERCEVAL had some sleep dur• ing the night, (all, we believe, that she has expe rienced since the dreadful calamity) ; by which she has been in some degree refreshed ; and that she and the family, are as well as could be expected in their deplur?.ble situation. We are glad to find that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT came forward yesterday to express his(- sentiments, respeaing the atrocious murder of Mr. PERCEVAL not because we doubted that he did not feel the deepa;t horror on the occasion, but for the reason we mentioned yesterday, and because the miscreants who applauded the murderer, likewise shouted BURDETT for ever." It was, therefore, - highly itnportar.t that they should know that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT viewed that aa, which they so loudly and so infamously applauded, with the ut most detestation and horror. A true Bill was this day found by the Grand Jury against JOHN BELLINGHAM, for the Murder of the Tight Hon. SPENCER PEECEVAL. It is understood that an application will this day be made to put off the trial. We are ltappy to state, that the accounts of the distuibances in Hull have been very much exagge rated.—A private of tie Carlow Militia has been committed to gaol, for slightly wounding a Mr. WaronT;; it appears that he was very much in toxicated at the time, and expressed the most sin cere contrition the next day for what he had done. —We think it right to add, that the condth both of the officers and privates of till Carlow Militia has been most exemplary, since that regiment has been in Hull. The rabble of that town have, to the disgrace of the charatler of the country, repeatedly insulted the soldiers, and the ofllcers, in the streets, and have endeavoured to provoke them to outrage, by the most despicAVe national reflections. We have no doubt that tie Magistrates will exert them selves to pot a stop to such shameful conduct, by vinishing the offenders with all the severity of the w. The LORD CHANCELLOR bad several interviews with 'the-PRISCII 'UDEN?, at Carlton House, yes terday. The Dukes of hoax, CLARENCE, CUMBERLAND, aid CAMBRIDGE, 'jilted the Paisley tEGENT yes terday.

" Should you see any publication on that subjeta [disclo3ures made to Government] at any time, I give you full liberty to repeat all I have told you, and be particularly careful to repel with indignation any insinuation the spirit of party may suggest, that my political mission, or the papers connedted with it, contain a single line that can expose any turnan being in the United States to censure. (Signed) " JOHN HENRY." [Document accompanying the above Report.' FRIDAY, MARCH 13. Count Edward de Crillon, sworn-This depo nent knows Mr. Henry; he dined with him at Mr. Wellesley Pole's iq September, and afterwards at Lord Yarmouth's ; met with him also at different faeltionable Clubs; deponent fell in with Mr. H. subsequently .by accident ; deponent had ordered his servant!' to procure him a passage for America ; they met with Capt. Tracy, of the ship New Galen, of Boston, at the New London Coffee House ; after agreeing with him on the terms of passage, Capt. T. applied to deponent to know if he was ready to embark the next day, as the ship would sail on the following morning, deponent said no; that he should send his servants on board, but should take a post-chaise for Portsmouth and pass over to the Isle of Wight, where he should wait for the vessel. On the day following he went accordingly to Ports mouth, but before his departure he received a letter from Captain Tracy, couched in the following terms:—." Sir, you must go to Ryde, where you will find a Gentleman called Captain Henry, wait ing for the New Galen : I shall send a boat ashore for both of you." Deponent went to Ryde, but did not find Capt. fl. there; thence he proceeded to Cowes, and inquired of the American Consul " if the IVesu .Galen hied passed ?" fearing that she had sailed without him. The Consul informed him that the ship was detained in the Downs by head winds; deponent returned to Ryde, and remained there three weeks alone, before Captain H. ar rived. Captain H. came to him and told him that the ,ship was badly found, and advised him to to Liverpool and take the packet ; deponent refuses, having paid his passage, and his trunks being on board. Captain Henry, three days after his arrival, fell sick, be kept his bed twenty-two days, during which time he was often delirious, frequently uttering the name of Lord Liverpool. The deponent having two servants, one of them attended on Mr. Henry during his illness ; he-was visited by Mr. Powell of Philadelphia,. a Mr. Wil kinson, or Dickson, of the British army, and a Mr. Perkins, of Boston; he received above two hundred letters from a Boston house (Higginson's) in Finsley-square, that had lately stopt payment.- 7 He refused ta take the letters, giving them to the Captain. Mr. Henry was also visited by a Mr. Bagholt, who brought him letters from Sir James Craig. Henry refused to receive those letters.-- He recovered from his sickness. Deponent oc enpying the most agreeable house in the place, Henry's physician asked the favour of an apart ment for him till he was ready. to embark.—Atter eight weeks detention, the wind became fair and the vessel ~eailed. The day before her departure, Mr. Bagholt arrived at Ryde, with letters from Lord Liverpool, to .Sir G. Prevost, and to Mr. Henry, who, when he saw the seal of the letter addressed to him, said, throwing it on the table, " that is a letter from Liverpool, what more does he want of me ?" He appeared to be much agitated, and retired to his room ?" Mr. Bagholt re turned that night to London without taking leave. But the wind coming fair the next morning the ship sailed. Mr. Edward Wire and Mr. West, both of Boston, and a Mrs. Thotnpson, of London, were passengers in the ship—Henry at first appear ed very low-spirited, took a cabin to himselt, and mostly dined alone. in good weather he employ ed himself in shooting with pistols, at wbich •he was very expert. One dark night, abnut t° 1 1 " o'clock, the witnes s was walking on deck furici dejected, when Henry accosted him, " Count Cr'' lion, (said he) you hpve not confidence in tlt et you are unhappy ; confide your "sorrows to me." -- He spoke so kindly, that deponent made hint in part acquainted' with his situation. He replied, " one confidence deserves another : I will no va tell you 'my situation. I have b een V er y , treated by the.
