CORRESPON DENCE. (We should have declined to insert the follow ing Correspondence, from a sense of political duty, io these levelling and seditious times, if it had not been freely circulated, partly in print, through out the County of Buckingham, and been the subject of general conversation. Nay, the sub ject has even been introduced in a Satirical Novel*, and it is surprizing that it has not before found its way into a Public Journal.) " THE METROPOLIS.

" The following Letter, received by the Bailiff of Buckingham from the High Steward of the Corporation, is respectfully made public for the information of those Gentlemen who have been accustomed to attend on the business of the Sessions, I' By their obedient, " and very humble Servant, " GEORGE NELSON, Bailiff. 4. Buckingham House, April 3, 1819. " I have found out that the number of Persons who dine at the dinner given by me at the Quarter sessions for the Borough awl Parish of Buckingham has very much increased, owing to improper persons having heen invited, by different people, I think it right to mention to you that I have given directions to my Steward, Mr: PARROTT, to give the invitations to the dinners, in future, in.my name to the following Gentlemen, viz. :—The Bailiff for the time being, tad the Burgesses of the Borough and Parish of Buckingham, the Recorder, the Town Clerk, and t lie Gentlemen actually empanneled upon theittry, together nit') atty Magistrates for the Borough - _ tpat resident within the 13orough who may attend the dinner, and that none others but those in ' vi;ed in my name wilt be admitted to that dialler.

" MY LORD-1n answer to your Lordship's getter of the 3d inst. I have to observe, that Mince toy late Election to the Office of Bailiff, I have not attended nor invited any person to a owner at your Lordship's expence, as 1 could not reconcile it to myself to accept of so great a fa vour, ater the gross and illiberal treatment my self and the Corporation have received from your Lordship. " I will take care that your Lordship's Letter shall be made public ; and remain, " My Lord, " Your Lordsh;p's most obedient Servant, " GEO. NELSON, Bailiff. " The M-arqness of Buckingham, Hir,n Steward of the Corpora tion of Buckinghatt." (No. 3.) " Buckingharn House, April 6, Isis. t 4 The Marquess of Buckingham returns to Mr. I.` , lsou his very ill judged and improper Letter. Ihe Marquess of Buckingham was induced in writing to Mr. Nelson to pay an attention which he felt was due to Mr. Nelson's situation of Bailiff of the Borough of Buckingham. Lord ISlckingliarn did not require the insult which Mr. Nei on has offered in return, to prove to him how entirely misplaced any attention would have been towards Mr. Nelson individually. The Marquess of Buckingham only thinks it necessary to say, that k , hen Mr. Welson states him to have treated the Corporation of Buckingham in a " gross and illiberal manner," Mr. Nelson states an untruth. " Mr. Nelson." (No. 4.) " Buckingham, 13th April, 1819. "The Bailiff of Buckingham, in reply to the Alarquess of Buckingham's charge, that be has stated an untruth, begs leave to explain what he alluded to ' 4 as gross end illiberal treatment," The Bailiff of Buckingham, presuming that from being unaccustomed to such conduct, he may have given it an erroneous construction. " A body of Gentlemen having joined in sign ing a request to the Marquess of Buckingham for continuing an old servant of that Body in a situa tion wherein they had placed him, the Marquess of Buckingham, forgetting all his professions of obligation and friendship, positively refused the trivial favour, and conferred the office on a per son generally obnoxious, and reported to be a CMIIIN WI informer. This the Bailiff of Bucking ham begs leave to consider as illiberal. " A short time afterwards the same Body were , c•; , ,ited on by the Marquess of Buckingham's Szewasd, not collectively, but individually, and requioed to state, whether in the event of the death of Mr. Miller (a Member of that Body, then in the list stage of illness), they would vote for Air. Newman to succeed him, an instant an swer tvas peremptorily demanded, no time , for de libration or consultation given, and thosu who would not comply wi;h the extraordinary man d4te, wcre, by the M4rquess of Buckingham's ostler, called upon to relinquish their gowns, and on refsisal, stigmatized by the sante authority, as " luq " Gentlemen or " Men of Honour," 'Phis the Baili:1 of Buckingham, with deference to the Marquess of Buckingham's superior judgment in such matters, considers " Gross." Tth- Marquess of Buckingham." (No. 5.) " Arington, 15th April, IBIS. " The Marque's of : Buckingham returns Mr. Nelson his Letter. With Mr. Nelson's opinions he has nothing to da, • and the Marquess of Buck is not rest}' olisible to I►lr. Nelson for 1:k The : , i garquess of Buckingham only tLif.l;s it neecssar to repeat, that Mr. Neilson, to iting thai.l.lie,*.„3l. treated the Cot puration of Boa i.q,-;nam7vvikk ; gross illiberality,' stated an imtroth, rAid he " is nappy in knowing that the (~Q fp ; , ,f iAt iou agreei whit him iu opinion. As i: 'is not Lord Buckingham's intention to carry on any correspondence further with Mr. Nelson, he thinks it right to inforo hint, that any future let ' tors which Mr. Nelson may send hint %yin be re ' turned, under a blank cover, to him by the post." * * *The above Letter ends the Correspond ' once betwixt the High Steward of the Corpora tion and the Bailiff of Buckingham. At a subsequent Quarter Sessions for the 80. rough and Parish, held on the Nth of April, when the Bailiff and the other Members of the Corpo ration, with the Recorder, were all present, atter the basinesi of the Sessions was over, a Letter was read, which was received by one of the Mem bers, front the High Steward, stating that he was convinced that they would all agree that the Bailiff had been guilty of gross behaviour towards him, in writing him such abusive Letters, and that it highly demanded their censure, and if they were of that opittion,thev would sign a vote to that effect,on a form which he bad sent for that purpose. After a good deal of discussion amongst them selves, respecting the propriety or impropriety of the Bailiff's conduct, and which was the most re spectable and ostensible character of the two in their public situations, the vote was signed by only one of the Aldermen. On the Recorder seeing that the vote of cen sure was signed by only one, and not likely to be signed by any other, he observed to the Members present, " What am I to say to my Lord, why n see him at the County Sessions in a day or two." One of the Aldermen replied, " Tell him, that if he treats us in the respectful way be ought to do, that we will be friends with him, and do all in our power to serve him—this is, in my opi nion, (observed the Alderman) a sufficient ac knowledgement for the,Bailiff and the rest of us." In consequence of the representation matte by the Recorder to the High St eward, the following Letter was written in answer " Stowe, April 26, 1819. "MY DRAR Sta,—Your very obliging Letter of the 20th inst. reached me during the Quarter Sessions, and consequently I have not had the op ' portunity of answering it before. It is highly gratifying and satisfactory to me to have an offi cial communication made to me through you, that thq letter addressed to me by the Bailiff on the .51.1 i inst. is unanimously disapproved of by all the Alambers of the Corporation of Buckingham. " Anxiously wishing to perpetuate the har mony between that Corporation and my family, it is most gratifying to me to feel, and to be officially informed, that it is the unanimous wish of the Burgesses of Buckingham to join their exertions with mine in attaining that object. —My feelings of attachment towards them are grounded in lone friendship and intercourse with them, and I am confident that nothing can ever shake that union which subsists between us. Endeavours like that which has called forth the disapprobation of the Corporation, may be made by misrepresentation, mischief, and falsehood. But lam perfectly con vinced, that, like this attempt, they will all prove abortive. I will request you, my dear Sir, to communicate this Letter through the Bailiff to the Corporation, and to believe the truth, with which I am always, " Your's very sincerely.

The following are extracts : " PARIS, JULY 26.—The King yesteiday did not go out, but his 11lajesty teceived the Duke of Orleans, and the English, Spanish, and Neapo litan Ambassadors. The King also held a Court, sv:,ich was numerously attended. His Majesty's heahh is in a satisfactory state. Letters from Munich of the 16th inst. say, "Dia Chamber of Deputies will be dissolved on the 20th or 22d inst. in tha name of his Majesty, by Duke William of Birkenfeld, who is commis sionvd by the King for that purpose. " From Wisbaden it is stated, that Loening, who attempted to assassinate M. !bell, died on the 18th, in consequence of the wounds he had given himself in endeavouring to commit suicide. " Accounts from Bonn state, that some Of ficers, with an Agent of Police and several Gendarmes, had arrived there, and that on the Isth instant they arrested three Professors of the University, M. M. K. H. Arndt, and the two brothers Welker, whose papers were all sealed up. The Professors were allowed the city for their prison. At Cologne a writer has been arrested, and an emplo,4 of justice at Erberfeld. Several arrests are also said to have taken place in other quarters. Two persons have been taken into custody in the Duchy of Nassau. " The Government, it is understood, has re ceived the most satisfactory accounts from Rome. " The War Minister, the Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr, has (pitted the waters of Neris : he pro ceeds to the department of Puy de Dame, and makes a short stay with General Becher. From thence, it is said, he goes to the waters of Mont (I'ol.. " According to accounts from Berlin, the Police continued to be very active. Seals were put on the I Ith inst. upon the propertyof a bookseller who had left the city. In tie night of the . 10th, the alarm was given to the Huhlan Guard, that an attempt was making to release by force, several persons who had been arrested ; the Royal Guard ran to the aid of the Hublans, the assailants were re pulsed, sod some of them were apprehended.

It is even added, that the Mutiny is favoured by the Com mander-in-Chief, the Count d'Aziszat.. Letters received this morning from St.Tbomas's, of the 27th June, mlntion, that owing to the con fused state of the Main, all business was in a state of stagna , ion. No accounts had been received from the different armies up to that date. We learn with great astonishment; that tbe Endyntion British ship, bound from Gibraltar to Genoa, was taken seven leagues from land by a Guertin Costa, carried into a Spanish port, and condemned. It was reported in the City this morning, but not credited, that an account had arrived by the Leeward Island Mail, of Porto Bello having been retaken by Al' This morning we received Jamaica Papers to the 13th tilt.

One report stated, that ha had gone to St. Anereas ; another, that be had arrived in this city incog. ; a third innocent hoax was played off, that this valiant Knight of modern times had re-ap peared in all his glory, having obtained a great prize in the l3ucauier Lottery from the inhabitants of Trinidada da Cuba ; and now it is currently reported that he has directed his course to the United States. Be the fact as it may, a little time must clear op a,ll doubts; unless indeed the flying spirit of our Hero should have driven him lions these seas into the Great Pacific Ocean, in order to shelter himself under the wings of a more able leader, and thus accomplish the object of the warm inviation of the Panamenians. The great Commander of In dependent Bands acted wisely in the memorable leap he took : He knew well that another Knight's reasoning was sound and convenient, inasmuch as he did not wish to he a counterfeit— " A dead man is only the counterfeit of a living one." " He that fights not, but rums away, " May live to fight another day." "We learn from Santo Domingo, that the French Admiral on the Windward Island station was cruizing in a ship of the line, with three fri. gates, and two brigs, to windward of Porto Rico ; one of the brigs bad gone into St, Thomas's to obtain supplies. " When the Wasp left La Vera Cruz, every thing was quiet there, and the Insurgents did not offer any annoyance to a free communication with he interior. " The Wasp left lying at Vera Cruz the Asia, Spanish 74, three corvettes, and a brig of war, also the Spartan frigate, of 46 guns, which had arrived there from Plymouth.
