S that he had, after receiving. instructions from.
Government, waited en the, Marquis Witte.-
LEY, whose reception was frank and friendly,
and who impressed him with .4 persuasion that
we should have no cause to be dissatisfied with
field course of his Government, on the, sub-
jects of our conference." It was agreed, how-
ewer, that an official letter should be presented
Mr. PlttamsY. Then follows this letter,
dated the 2d January, 1810, which is very long,
and relates chiefly to a history of Mr. 'Sack-
,s's conduct, and concludes with a demand fur
recall. The neat is the reply of the Marquis
it,,,,ssuly, which we give at length, and 'on
ihich 11SS MAJESTY consents to recall Mr. JACK..

gained of all intentional offence. It goes further,
for it makes this concession, while, almost in the

Tread with extraordinary velucity in every direc-
tion. We could not learn, upon the move aiiXious
inquiry, that it was entitled to any credit. The
door of thh Baronet's house in Piccadilly was beset
in the evening with Crowds of people, anxious to
hunt the particulars ; bid they were assured by the
potter that there wbs not the slightest foundation
for the report. Another rumour was also in theta-
lation, stating, that the Baronet had determined to
withdraw ainiself entirely from all political hfraira,and
public pursuits, and to ratite into private hie. The
delicate state of his health givev some roasistency
to this report.—At all events it is more probable
than the story of the duel. •
