Extract yf a letter* received 5y «Ar/* Sa
vannah. arrived at Amelia. to e gentle
man in Charleston, dated, Liverpool,
January VO th, 1810.
• " It does nut appear, that the refusal to
negotiate with Mr. Jackson, it ctuisidererl
by enr government as a sufficient cause foe
war, nor do we apprehend that his dismis
sal from the country would be thought so;
bar it seems to be gaining pretty general
belief, that the American and French go* -
ernments have made up their difference*;
and if so, we do not see how this middle
State of things between jieace and war.
can be kept up between this country and
America. A greater latitude is said te be
given by Bonaparte, both in imfffffts and
exports, which was at first reptMinted as
a relinquishment of the Berlin Milan
Decrees, but we apprehend Mutls done,
it Is more With the view to embroil us with
America, than any thing else, and there
fore not likely to tend to the removal of our
Orders in Council, which are the great
obstacle to our being friends with America-
The first however, was, that
the repeal of the Orders in Council was a
eertam consequence; and had not the first
accounts received here, been upon a Sun
day, we have nodoubt the effect upon the
market, in American articles, would have
been very great j as it was, a considerable
sensation was experienced, which has hard
ly yet subsided.
"The quantity of American produce
known to becoming forward is so great,
that nothing but the expectation of war, or
M embargo, will enable the markets to
support the present price*, which, in most
of the leading articles, yield a very hand
some profit upon what they can be import
ed for ie a circuitous channel { and the
consequence is, that seldom a day passes
without some fluctuations.”
We should not thus early have called
the attention of the publick to a report that
the British government had officially disa
vowed the conduct of their Minister, Mr.
Jackson, if it was not now travelling the
rounds of our democratick papers for elec
tioneering purposes. It is said to have
arisen from a letter addressed by our Min
ister at the Court of London to our Secre
tary of State, giving information of the fact.
It was at first declared to be a pompous of
ficial letter, from which it is even now de
graded to a private and confidential one.—
Our Secretary of State is stated to have
made known, the intelligence himself
through his darling channel, ndt through
the medium of Congress, but through a
medium more authentick, the columns of a
democratick newspaper. In the midst of
all this diplomatick, confidential and pri
vate communication, the letter itself, if it
ever had an existence, is’neatly folded up
in the bureau of the Secretary of State.—
The publick demand it, they are told it is
private and confidential; they then begin
to doubt it, and the intelligence pops upon
them as official. So that the confidential
‘ er diplomatick nature of this letter in re
serve, depends not on the contents ef it, but
according to the credulity or incredulity of
the publick mind. But the report is stated
to have originated from Mr. Smith, and is
therefore authentick. We beg leave to pro
nounce the word therefore a non-aeyuiter,
even if it did originate from that quarter.
We can but recollect the time when the
same infallible Mr. Secretary Smith de-
that Mr. Jackson had insulted our
government by hh assertion that our gov
eminent were acquainted with Mr. Ers-
Jafar’* incompetency to act. After the cor-
Capt.VinaU.wbo arrived here yesterday,
from Cadis, ha* politely favoured us with
the papers of that city to the 94th January.
Vte have not been able! to procure trans
lations from them. ' But from a cursory pe
rusal, they are found to breathe the same
language, to express the same hope, and to
hold the lame tone of defiance to their
French invaders, which marked the earliei
periods of tbeh opposition. A paper of the
23d January, contains a very animated pro
clamation of the Superiour Junta to the An
dalusians* announcing the approach of the
French towards the Bloms Morena, and
calling upon them to rise en masse to pre
vent their ravaging the fields of Andalusia.
This proclamation is dated at Seville the
20th of January. Other articles appear to
be emanations of the same spirit; one from
Murcia, dated the 15th January, says, “ the
retreat of the enemy has not lessened our
activity; but on the contrary every exertion
is making to convince the execrable tools
of Napoleon, that if they dare invade this
province, they will find therein a valiant
and generous people, resolved to imitate the
immortals of Saragossa and Gerona, and
who have sworn to die rather than become
the slaves of the most vile of all tyrants.

LATEST FROM SPAIN.
prottibence,
These are our grounds for doubting the
truth of this report, even if it is traced
•up to the Secretary of State, so long as this
letter so often called for, remains in the
Secretary's bureau. Opposed to this re
port, is a certificate signed by very re
spectable names that they had seen a let
ter written by a man of undoubted veraci
ty that he had seen a letter from Mr. Jack
ton stating that by recent advices received
from his government, they declared them
selves perfectly satisfied with his conduct.
If we credit both of these reports, and the
latter is surely entitled to as much confi
dence as the former, we are prepared to
believe that the Marquis of Wellesley, Mr.
Canning's successor in office, told two sto
ries, diametrically opposite, vis, one to
Mr. Pt'ninry, that the British government
had disapproved the conduct of Mr. Jack
ton, and the other to Mr. Jackion himself,
that they warmly applauded his conduct.
But the Editors of newspapers are contin
ually regaling the publick ear* with letters
stated to have been received from mem
bers of Congress, confirming the intelli
gence. This is proof positive to be sure.—
We have still the misfortune to doubt in
'he first place whether such letters were
-•ter received ; and secondly, that even if
1 hey have been, that the fact is establish
ed as our political opponents contend.—
Nothing is easier than for democratick
Editor* to procure a letter from members
of Congress by way of stamping authenti
city on such reports, whether those mem
bers ever wrote any, or not. In the next
place, it is a degrading and humiliating
fact, that sundry members of Congress in
stead of attending to their duty, and turn
ing their attention to the affairs of the na
tion, are often employed during debates on
the subject of which the salvation of their
country depends, in writing idle and con
temptible letters to their constituents, for
the purpose of augmenting their party and
securing another election. Reports of this
kind answer very well electioneering pur
poses, and after election they are no more
thought of, but buried in the general mass
of the falsehoods of the day. The thanks
of their constituents are undoubtedly due to
those who seem sent to Congress, if we
may judge from their actions, for no other
purpose, but to supply the Editors of their
party with reports at the rate of six dol
lars a day Admitting however a report
so equivocal, suspicious and questionable,
to have all the solidity of fact, it proves
that the English never meditated hostility
against tMs country ; that they have ever
been sincerely desirous to cultivate harmo
ny and a good understanding, and that the
violent measures which Congress have
adopted, were intended' to provoke the na
tion to a war, and to throw the whole
blame of their own actions on the other
party.

On Tuesday evening last. Mr. Ogilvie
gratified a respectable audience assembled
at Ammidon’s hall, by delivering an Ora
tion oh War, accompanied by sundry re
citations from the most eminem-poets. We
rejoice to find that the Orator’s health and
spirits were so far confirmed, that he was
capable of appearing like himself. The
audience felt the magnetick versatility uf
tbe Orator's powers, which was capable of
attracting smiles or tears at his command.
The proceeds of the night were generously
given to the Lyceum which is now in con
templation. It is hoped this second in
stance of the Orator's benevolence will not
pass without emulation. Wherever he

To the Editore of The Rhode-Itland American.
Do now, Gentlemen, not forget to pub
lish me next paper, the’ 1 don't believe you
did forget it. It must have come to hand
too late. And that Introduction ! I don’t
think you /nt’d it, for I don't. I got my
friend to write it, as thinking he knew best
what was proper, and so I sent it, tho* 1
never lik'd it. It was Criticut Scriblenus.
I guess you know who I mean without put
ting his proper name: to write such things
you know, under one's proper chiistian
and surname, and without choosing a hand
some poetical name, would be to lose more
than half their beauty, and wit, and fancy,
and taste. Pray, Gentlemen, don’t omit it
again, and if you hav'nt set the types,
you may print thia as an introduction in
stead of t’other, or else print them both.
Only think now! Edwin has been out
ever since last Saturday, and mine’s not
printed, when they have been preparing
and fitting near a twelve month, and were
really intended for one another as much as
ever we were. They might have been
printed in the same paper, but that would
have been very outre, and without any kind
of taste, as much ns for two lovers to live
in the same house.—Had it only come to
hand in time, or you had not forgot to prim
it, they would have been both oot, and
the young men and women of genius in
town would have been talking about them ;
one saying here I think Almira excels—
another, I titink Edwin is preferable—
then perhaps they all agree they are both
excellent, and there is no such thing as
giving preference where both are complete.
Perhaps some more captious, or envious,
picking faults here and there, which amidst
the general praise would only render the
pleasure mure enchanting.
(t/* The Editors beg leave respectfully
to mention to tJieir fair Correspondent,
that the first side of the paper was im
pressed before her invaluable favour was
received. They are incapable of disrespect
to the fair sex, more especially when a
fine pot-tick genius and a beautiful face
proffer their united claims to regard, as in
the,instance of Almira.

The following Prox has been agreed
on as the one best calculated to ensure suc
cess at the approaching election. Gentle
men who wish to behold the triumph of
Federal principles in thia State for the
course of another year, we are confident
will lend it their sanction and support.
Our political friends are too enlightened
and patriotick to suffer a cold and petrifick
indifference to paralyze their rfibits. Let
them remember that it is not only a right
which freemen enjoy, but likewise a duty
incumbent on them, to exercise the right
of election. If the exercise of a leg.il right
is neglected, the most seriously impouto.nt
consequences may happen ,o the welfare
of their country. If the people are worthy
to enjoy their own freedom, they are like
wise bound to preserve it from violation.
Election Is but a name, a shadow, a mocke
ry, if those who dislike tbe present politic
al system uf democracy do not exercise
that right to obtain redress which the con
stitution of their country confers. Nothing
is more unmanly and dastardly than to re
pine a whole year and complain and not
dedicate one day to obtain an alteration.
To thoae who complain, censure and re-

if there has been any thing not customary
