will be materially annoyed. If great reinforce

the present generation."

office has been chosen."
" P. S. VVe are just informed that gen. Lace

" Malaga, Jan. 23.
" Two officers of the Volontaire frigate, ar
rived here last evening horn Gibraltar, and
mention, that they carried from Mahon four
French deputies that had been to see lord Col
lingwpod, and landed them on the coast of
France near Marseilles, in the night time.—
That the object of their mission was a perfect
secret, hut that it was generally believed they
had carried ptoposuls from the south of France
and part of Italy, to declare themselves inde
pendent, and soli< ited they should he consider
ed neutrals by the English."
The brig Somers, capt. Fletcher, has arrived
at Kennebuck from St. Bartholomews. He
informs that he read London papers of Jan. 23,
which stated that the French decrees were re
pealed, and that the orders in council would be
revoked. If capt. F. saw a series of papers it
might not be . n a paragraph in the latest that
he founded his opinion. Although we hope
the edicts arc rescinded, we fear the idea has
been produced by the decree of Jan. 3.
Phii.adelkiiia, March 28. •
Monday-hying the birth day ot the Em-'
Ueror of Rossra, the Russian Envoy gave a
party, and bad,the front of his dwelling il
luminated by-a*- transparency representing
the cities of'St.'Petersburg and Archangel,
and an American vessel in full sail, the
crown and • the
whole surmounted by a
letters A-I. Some citizens stopping
to
look at t^e transparency took up
a notion
that the putt ng of thé crown over the Ame
rican ship and coioTtrs was improper; this
notion ripened into an opinion that it was
intended as an insult, and the ferment be
came general. About this point of time
a young man, an officer in the U. S. ser
vice, came up and imbibing all the indig
nation of those around him, he discharged
two pistol balls through the transparency.
He was apprehended this morning, and
bro't before Alderman Kepple, who on
motion of the District Attorney, hound the
officer over, himself in 3000 dollars, and
two sureties in 1500 dollars each. In the
course of the examination, the officer with
characteristic boldness and strong feeling,
declared, that he thought it his duty as an
American officer to bring down all crowns.

The following is an extract of a letter from
a gentleman near Princeton, N. J. to
his friend at Lofig-Hill, dated Feb. 23th
1310.
'"An interresting incident occurred near
Princeton some weeks ago. 'i he cold Sa
turday a number of students were skating
on Scuddtr's mill-pond ; one ol them nam

water, whtre it was from 10 to 12 feet
deep. In struggling to get out, be broke
the ice fur some distance rouud, but did
not succeed, and became at last so exhaust

LATEST FROM SPAIN.
Captain Taylor, of the ship Caledonia, arrived
at Philadelphia oil Monday, from Cadiz, states,
that the French army, alter passing the Sierra
Morena, had taken Seville—drove ihe whole
countrv, ai masse, before them into Cadiz—cap
tured Port Maria, the watering place, opposite
the city of Cadiz, where they were fortifying
themselves. They had been fired upon constant
ly from o British two decker and 4o gun boats,
but without success. A flag had been sent into
Cadiz to demand its surrender to its lawful sove
reign and friend, king Joseph—the answer re
turned was, that the loyal people of Cadiz, knew
no king but Ferdinand.
•
The junta were at the head of Cadiz Bay, at a
small place railed lliea. The French and Span
ish men of war him their sails bent, and were
ready for sea, to the number of 17. The Biitisli
admiral, Purvis, with about 12 ships of war,
was at Cadiz, and appeared to have the principal
direction. Cadiz being so much crowded with
people front the country. Water was very scat ce,
and all 'business at a stand.

IMPOR TANT^r IF TRUE !
The following information (says the Bos
ton Gazette) from London to a gentleman
ol this town, is handed us by one, who is
incapable of knowingly abusing the public
confidence for a single moment. It is un
questionably derived Ii4>ai an authentic
source ; and our readers, (vtj think, may
perfectly rely on its truth :
?
'' In a formal communication from Lord
Wellesley to Mr. Pinkney, the conduct of
bur Executive and proceedings of Congress
subsequent to the late négociations, Are cen
sured in the most unequivocal manner.
It is asserted by the British Cabinet,that
Mr. Jackson had behaved only as his duty
required ; that the charge against him is
ty
absolutely groundless ; and that he, as well
as his king and country, are treated with
an unprecedented rudeness and grossness
by the U. States.
" Lord Wellesley, beginning with the
offer to renew Mr. Jay's treaty, recites a
series of acts, proving the sincere and uni
form desire of G. Britain to meet the U.
States on iair and friendly conditions, all
which have been met with a contrary spirit
by the government of the United States ;
and, he says, that now it is the belief of the
British cabinet, that every overture at con
ciliation, on their part, must be unavailing,
because our government is resolved that no
adjustment of differences shall be made—
and he adds, that although they are dispos
ed to receive propositions from ui, yet it
cannot be concealed, that none can at pres
ent he expected.
Lord Wellesley took this occasion to
, I
remark, that the British government are
fully sensible of the great part that is assign
ed them to act in the present eventful peri
od of the world ; and to declare, explicitly,
that all the means which God has gracious,
ly given them, shall he used so far as is ne
cessary,to resist the establishment of a des
potism, which would be more terrible than
any yet known in the history of nations."
[That the above should be the sentiments of the
British government towards us, we by no means are
disposed to doubt, even after the disposition expressed
by Lord Wellesley to Mr. Pinkney. But as this arti
cle never burst upon the world until the eve of the
Massachusetts election, we think it aukwardly squints
towards a vankee fabrication.]
