LONDON, •
THURSDAY, Stefan: us 10. .

We have received New York papers to the 7th
last, from which we have made copious extrads.
The PIISIDISIT of the United States has issued a
proclamation, appointing the 46th of °Roller for
the meeting of Congress, and assigning 4` great and
weighty matters, claiming the consideration of Con-
gress." as the cause for convening this extraordinary
session. The great and weighty matters alluded
to in the Proclamation, are well known to be the
circumstances attending the late affair between the
Lesperof and the Cheseteale, and the maritime rights
claimed and exercised by the British cruisers. The
American Editors speculate, that the tiers:we,
which has brought over the Initruaions of the
Pa &sons? of the United States upon this suhjea,
would arrive about the beginning of this mouth ;
and as the Pass' cans evidently expeas the answer
of our Government before the day appointed for
the meeting of Congress, we may presume, that
he does not calculate upon a long discussion. In
the mean time, the fury of the American people
appears to have abated, and they await with patience
the determination of Congress.—We stated, in a
former paper, that Mr. Ensues, our Minister to the
United States, had complained that what had passed
between him and the American Government upon the
tolled had been misrepresented. In the explanation
which has been published. to corral the false ac-
count, it is diatinely stated, that the seamen claimed
by the Leopard were native•botn citizens of the
United States, and the report of Commodore .B As-
ane, in which they arc described. is referred to as
evidence of the fa&. The B. itish Officers and sea-
men, made prisoners at I yiihaven, have been re-.
stored to their respeSire ships ; and though we find
in the New York papers plans for the defence
of the coast, and des•:cep for destroying ships.
all in contemplation of a was with England, and
proceeding from a hostile spirit. they appear to be
merely the speculative amusement of idle indivi-
duals, in which the Government takes no interest.
The yellow fever. it is said, has broken out among
the crews of the Spanish vessels at the Havannah,
and some Americans at that place.

The American Government, we understand, is
willing to concede the right of snatch for vas. un-
der certain circumstances; but never to allow any
ve‘sol, bearing their a lg, to be scanted for wen ;
a: d hle suggested some nolatioas for identifyits

Amain. and liiehla sauna. For Ws
we understand. it proposes that Wald chaff

before whom nU coutplainu shall be bear;
pasted. and every seaman given ap to that
witch he is found to belong.
According to the American Laws. eves
of an English vessel is liable to.a Mae of lt
for every -American seaman found on be.
ship. The hoe, we are informed, was p 4

there are in the American trade upward' or
British seamen, and that this country has in it;
ploy 15,000 American seamen. leaving a LA
of 13,000 in favour of America.
