The ship Calo, Captain Phillips, arri
ved at tins port yesterday in 48 days horn
the Isle of Wight.
To the politeness of a commercial house
in this city, the Editors of the Courier are
indebted, for a regular file of the London
Morning Chronicle from the first of Decem
ber to the sixth of January inclusive,_
brought by this arrival. From these papers
we have made the extracts in the preced
ing columns. It may be observed that the
Morning Chronicle is an anti-ministerial
paper, we cannot therefore expect to find in
it the language of the government as res
pects the rupture of the negociations be
tween our administration and Mr. Jackson.
The few remarks on the subject, however,
which these paper:; furnish, we have given
in ill's day's paper.—When the article from |
the AationalliUclligenccr was first published
in London, it will be seen that the language of
Ibis paper was very warm against the mi
nistry ; but after the correspondence ao- j
peared, very little is said on the subject. •* J
From capt. Phillips we learn, verba,ly, i
that the conduct of Me. Jackson was ap
proved of by the government, and apparent
ly by the people of England, although there
were many persons who thought him an un
lit person to have sent to this country,
owing to the existing prejudice against
him, and the known warmth of his temper.
Mr. Powell, 'an American Messenger,
probably despatched hy Mr. Pinkney with
intelligence of the rupture of the negociati
ous between this country and England, and
who had sailed from the Downs in a cartel
for Calais, had returned, n<«t being permit
ted to land at that place. Ife was given to
understand that Morlaix was the only port
o.jen for cartels. And he sailed again on
the 3d January for the latter port.

London, Dec. ?3.
We this day give the official notice of the
rupture of the negotiations between this
I country and the United State*, as publish
*1 by the American government itself.
Our readers will s«*e that the account wc
g?ve ojf it was correct. The gross and in
lulling conduct of our minister is uncipiivo
cully stated as the cause of the indignation
expressed by the American government —
We cannot state the particular words used
I by Mr. Jackson, that have produced this
j mi st tint .it.nyue interruption to all inter
l-outse; ihcagii we have heard i>v junior.
that they were such as in private life could
not be tolerated among gentlemen. Mr.
Krskine was said to have exceeded his in
structions iii the complacency of his bchavi- i
our towards the states. Has Mr. Jackson
iaken the contrary course Sc outraged all de-1
coruui Irom the fear of having over civility j
imputed to him i Certain it is that on his ;
appointment this precise termination of his
embassy was foretold.
December 27.
The New York packet has arrived at Fal
mouth, after a voyage of 2i days. The let
ters and papers by this opportunity will be
delivered in the course of the morning. On
board this vessel Mr. Oakley was a passca_
ger, and immediately on his reaching town,
waited on the Marquis Wellesley at the fo
reign office, where he delivered despatches
trotn Mr. Jackson, inclosing the address of
the president of the United States to Con
gress, which opened its session, according to
appointment, on the 27th of last month_
vyc ueueve mat tnc copy ot lue address to
which we have alluded is the only one in
town, but wc presume that with our letters £c
papers of this day, \vp shall receive a faith
ful transcript of this important document.
Doubts have been idly entertained, and
hastily expressed, if the authenticity of our
intelligence regarding the rupture of the ne
gociation between the British envoy anil the
American government. The information
we before reluctantly gave is now fully con
firmed, and if we are rightly instructed, Mr.
Oakley is of opinion, that Mr. Jackson has
been guilty of some indiscretion during his
intercourse with the republican secretary ;
yet iu a matter of this delicate and confi
dential nature wc do not in the present ear
ty of the business pretend to perfect
accuracy. Whatever may be the sentiments
of this gentleman, we persuade ourselves it
will be found that the irritation and ultimate
suspension of all intercourse between the
diplomatic agents of the two states, origi
nated in the cause we have already assign
ed.
On Sunday Mr. Mayntz, the Austrian cou
rier accompanied by Mr. Powell, the secre
tary to the American Minister at this court,
embarked at Dover, on board the Elizabeth,
capt. Hayward, which immediately saikd
for Franee.
December 28.
We received yesterday letters from Phi
ladelphia to the 25th ult. and from N. York
to the 3d inst. Those from Philadelphia
state that a good deal of irritation had been
excited, and it was supposed the non inter
course acts would be superceded by the em
bargo system. It is added, that the repub
l:c would act upon the defensive in all its ci
vil and commercial regulations, and would
not engage in hostility with this country, if it
Were possibie to a' - id it.
The New York letters speak much the
same language, and those from mercantile
houses recommend the cessation of all ex
ports from England to the U. S. in the pre
sent critical situation of our affairs.
Dutch letters have been received to the
date of Sunday last, the twenty-fourth iu
stant, in which the important fact is commu
nicatcd of the incorporation of Holland with
France.
The lix-J.o.te of the situation of France for
this year, is worthy of attention, chiefly on
account of the light which it throws upon
the ulterior views and objects ^f Bonaparte.
1 he idea, it seems, was never entertained
of ereoting Poland into a kii-gdom. No
change is to be made in the political relati
ons of the Confederation of the Rhine, or in
those ot the Helvetic confederacy. The
IIunse-Towns are to retain their indepen
dence—but it need hardly be observed, that
in Napoleon’s dictionary the word “ inde
pendence” has a meaning very different from
its ordinary sense.
Holland,it appears,is to lie added to France
because it already is an extension of the ar
teries of the French empire. But, besides
this figurative reason, and whatever others
may exist in the breast of Napoleon, one
obvious object of this union is the more effec
tual obstruction of the commercial inter
course with England, which in the separate
state of Holland it has been found impossible
to prevent. The wish and intention of Bo
naparte to protect the Turkish Empire,
which was hinted at in his speed; to the Le
gislative body, is here unequivocally menti.
oned—and this no doubt, will stop the march
of the Russian troops. This is only one a
mong the many proofs, that there is no c
quality in the relations between France and
Russia.
Bonaparte while lie affects to have the
greatest regard for the feelings andlrtterejfs
of Alexander, evidently expects from him o
bedience as implicit as t'.iat which he receives
from the meanest of his vassal sovereigns.
In addition to the state of Spain, fjapolton
making a virtue of necer iity, declares that
" he will never oppose the indr tendence ot
the continental nations of America, provided
they enter ihlo no connection with England.”
I his i i another instance of the singular no
tion which he hasrt independence. ’ But for
tunately, though he should succeed in Spain,
it v/111 be out of hiu power to keep the colo
nics in a state of dependence, contrary to
their own inclination ; Sc even if they should I
not be disposed to accept independence on 1
the condition which he imposes. Our fa
mous expeditions, of course, form a very
prominent feature in this expose. Altera
declaration, that Napoleon severely punish
es those “ who calculate the danger, when
victory alone should occupy their minds;”
it compliments Lord Chatham, who, •• like
a wise and prudent man, instead of exposing
hi * army to danger, tv, re destructive, than
the plague returned to England.”
This compliment is very properly guard
-... .... .v i^.uuiuo, ma. wiougn our nootc |
| genera’, had the " wisdom and prudence” to
avoid the French, he had not the good for
tune to save his arm'' from the pestilence of
VVa'.ciicreii, which Napoleon tells us wat!
less destructive than ^ contest with hisj
troops would have been, a circumstanced
however, which may be reasonably doubted
The truth is, that Bonaparte fc’t himserltj
disposed to compliment in tiiis instance, bed
cause, as lie oij a former occn.ion scores
sed himself, the genius of France acuating
our government, had conducted our armies
int> our peslih r.tal island, where it melted
■j * ’ • t » • •.
away independent of any loss or exertion on
his part, and without securing a single va
luable object for this country.
\Ve this day insert a copy of the nics
sage of the President of the If! S. of Amt ri
ca, to Congress, It will t>e seen that aeon,
siderable part of it consists ci observations
on the relations between the American go
vernment and this country. The mission ot
Mr. Jackson is of course propiinently allu
ded to, and it is with no small astonishment
we find it stated that this gentleman “had
received no authority to enter into cxplan...
tions relative to cither branch of the en
gagement disavowed, (that of Mr. Erskine)
r.or any authority to substitute proposals as
to that branch which concerned the British
Orders in Council ” Supported as this as
sertion is by the official authority of the
President, and thus solemnly communicated
to the Legislature, we scarcely know how to
believe it. Is it possible to conceive, that ;
when in consequence of the disavowal ot an j
arrangement made by one minister, another '
lias been sent, that the latter should have no !
authority cither to enter into explanation, or 1
to substitute a proposal respecting the most 1
important point :n negociatiou ? It the is the
case, what necessity was there for Mr. Jack
son to cross the Atlantic; it surely Wv-uld
have been better that lie should nave re
mained at home, than that ho should have
gone where his presence, under such cir
cumstances, coiiM only tend to iucrease the
irritation which before prevailed. The way
in which the subject is put by the American !
President, involves the mission of Mr.J .ck
son in an unaccountable mystery. Either
tlie former has deliberately deceived the
( Oug -ess, which catiuoi reauily be believed,
or the latter has been sc lit on an pi rand in I
which it most have been known before he j
went, that it was impossible for him to sue j
cectl. A negociatiou under such circunistao i
cest was more than useless; it could only
generate an angry and a hostile feeling.——
We stated a few days since the immediate ]
cause of all communication being broken <■»:
between the American government and >>. :
Jackson • and we find it pointodly alluded to ■
in the passage, where it is stated that
forgetting the respect due to ail govern- j
ments, lie (Mr. Jacksqn) did not refrain from .
imputation's on this, ivhich required that no
farther communications should be received
from aim.” These “ imputations” are ex
plained in the circular letter of Mr. Jackson,
u> the British Consuls in America, to mean
the assertion made by him, that the guvern- j
men? ol ihe l uited States knew the matter
•ir.d Ca.ch'. ot Mr. Erskine’s.insti uctio
they having been submitted by Mr. Er.-,kii.e ;
to tiie American Secretary ol State. It was
me •nsequenee of ’his charge being pressed
by Mr. Jackson, that the American govern
tnenf Jirok. off all communication with him.
ihe imputation, therefore, made against
that government, was a breach of faith, in
concluding an arrangement with Mr. Er
skine, knowing that his instructions did m.t
go to the extent of warranting the. Treaty.
1 lift nenessarily involves a question of fact,
open which it is impossible to decide, with
out further information; but at al! events,
it remains to t>e ascertained what necessity
there was for pressing and reiterating this
point, until the irritation it produced ren
dered useless all the powers of the negocia_
tor. Mr. Jackson, in Ins circular letter,
says, that his conduct was that which his
duty imperiously enjoined him to adopt._
Unless, therefore, it is meant to charge him
also with acting contrary to His instructions,
his mission must be considered as a most
remarkable one; according to his own let.
ter it was his duty (of course directed by his
instructions) to urge an incidental point,
which could only produce irritation; and
according to the President’s message, he had
no authority to emer into explanations, or
make proposals relative to the main objects
of negotiation.

The late political revolution in Holland,
has produced an alteration in the policy re
cently adopted by the board of trade. Li,
censes were yesterday, alter a cessation of
two months, granted to ships proceeding in
ballast to France, and returning with grain,
hour and burr stones. Licensv s were also
delivered for the use of such foreign vessels
as had before brought these coinmodi. ies,
permitting them to load with British manu
factures, and British or foreign colonial pro
duce, and to depart with suoli cqrgots to
France and Holland.
Yesterday a bag was delivered at the Post
Office with letters from Tonningen to the
2d, from Hamburgh to the 21st, and from
Heligoland the 24*.h inst. Those from the
Eyder mention that the severity in the. exe..
cution of Ijie Custom house regulations, had
been greatly increased at all the D - nijh
ports, nnd they add, that three ships under
American c l airs, had been seized with
property supposed to consist of British
merchandize to the value ol 100.000/ ster
ling. '
^ December 30.
Some Hamburgh papers reached town yes
terday, from which we have given a few ex
tracts. A grand ceremony is talked of as
likely soon to take plage at Frankfort, and
it is rumored that Napoleon intends to he
crowned in that city ernperor of the West.
Some letters came to hand yesterday from
Rotterdam, more favorable iii their contents
than that we quoted yesterday. It is suppo
sed that the corn ships from that port will
sail in the first fair wind, without obstruct!
on from political interferance. Some eonfu
sion had arisen in the liar bora of Holland &

The reinforcement of five thousand men
under orders for Portugal, is, it stems, to
j.bp countermanded, £c the troops are to be sent
to India. From this circumstance, as well
as liont a variety of others, it appears, that
the mutiny i:. India, if it may be so called,
is of the most serious description—-aftef
considering the manner in which thedispuie
between the civil and military officers was
conducted, this is not to be wondered at.
The authority of the Directors, from causes*
neither remote in their origin nor difficult to
be appreciated, does r.nt carry with it that
weight which it once possessed. It is no se
cret now in India, that the Directors may
take one side and the lioaiil of Control an
i other—and that whoever is supported by the
j Board of C ontrol, has nothing to fear from
the Board if Directors.-This state of
u.in^s, however, cannot l>e viewed without,
the greatest apprehension* for the safety of
our Indian dominion*, when it is considered,
that the most alarming example i* thus he'd
out to the native troops, upon whom the de
fence of these extensive pnr.sri.siou* must it*
a great measure depend, it is probable thaj
Lord Wellington, who, according to all ap
pearances. must soon be deprived of his oc
cupation in Portugal, will be sent to India 'q
terminate, I possible, this dangerous situa
tion of affairs, with a high commia'ion, like
that of Lord Cornwallis, appointing him
Governor-Genet I and > ’.omjnaiuler in Chief
ot the forces at the same time. Jf I^ord
Wellesley remain? in power, no onei-eedbe
at u U»s to predict thy fate of the Lust-India
Com pany.
A paragraph from Payonne mentions, that
upwards of .10,COO troops had passed thro*
that city in the course of a week, for the I'y
r mites, and that every day soldier* conti
nued to arrive, who proceeded in the same
direction. Quarters had been ordered for
nine thousand men, who were expected oq
the 29th ult. In the snme article it is said,
i that prisoners in grt kj numbers had h ft the
]Spanish frontiers for the interior of France^
and that they wery treated with the great
est hurnanhy. Hy an article from Muliick
it appears, that the Tyrolese were Mill in
arms, and had entirely cut ofi a j arty o?
Ha vat ian soldiers.
