HOSTILITIES BETIFEEN ENGLAND AND

AMARICA.

The Sy/eis cutter arrived on Saturday at Ports-
mouth, and landed Lieutenant Disuav, with dis-
patches from Admiral 13 , command 'r of
the British squadron on the Caast of North
n•.-
rica, announcing an glion to bare bean f4ught
off New York, between His MAJIIST T'S ship
L‘orrd, and the American frigate Certsht, am in
which the lacer, haviag fifteen men kiiled, and
several wounded, was compelled to strike her co-
lours, and has been carried to Halifax. Lieut.
Dane v atrived at the Admiralty, atsout twelve
o'clock on Saturday, when Crofiiteil was -ram,-
diately called, and a m✓_•iiug of Cabinet ;Ministers
took place a►to:diugly, at the Foreign °Mee, in
Duwai:tg-street. The summons came to Lord
ELoow, while in the House of Lords, and Estl
CAMDEN was sent for post. Lord FIAWILLSOIJItT,
Mr. CANNING, Lord Carr ISIMAGM, and the King's
Advocate, Sir joy tt NICHOL, were also present. the
substance of the dispatches Was also communicated
to HIS MAJESTY at Windsor. The Leopard is an
old hr.,y gun ship. The estarrelloion is a forty-tour
gun frigate, the c.•.ck vessel of the American navy.
We have not learned the circumstances which led
to th;:. anion, but we think it has been probably
the result t f a premeditated hostility on the part of
America, and as such may be regarded as the
eotamencensent of an American war.

We hare f:ceived New York papers to the 13th
ult. inciliaive. The trial of Col. Butte continual
suspended. in coasequenee of the non-arrival of
Gen. Vs'n rtrYsorr. The General sailed from New
Orlea;.s, for Norfolk, in the Reetnic schooner, and
was dr:vm into the Ilavannah, from whence he
sailed, on the Ist of Jiine. On the 3d of Jure, the
AT rortatv for the United States proposed t‘;at the
Grand Jury should be adjourned to the 16th, to
afford time for the General to arrive. Mr. BURR
obit Ara to I its deity ; hat the Court. aft:r some
discussion, agreed to adjourn the Grand Jury to
the 9tt. ult.

We bay. recelv A Dutch Papers to the VI inst.
co.:taihing the Nils news to the 17th. It is stated
in letter. from that city, that expeditions prevailed
ciere of Box iPAST es speedy return; that the an-
niversary of his birtit-sky, the 15th of August, will
be cekhrated with extraordinary festivVy ; and that
preparatims are making at the military school, for

probably be compelled to stoop to that degradation.

The existing embargo inclults the trading ves-
sels to Scotland. and even the Maga.. Iloys. The
Mast-rs of the latter p,titiosed the Privy Council,
on Saturday, for a release from it; which was
granted, upon condition that they should enter into
a bond with the Commissioners of Customs, to for-
feit three times the value of the vessel, if it should
sail beyond Ramsgate Pier. The order was issued
wits great secrecy, that it migil not alert the im-
press service; and. at the same t me, a great °em-
ber of Press-warrants were isswid from the Admi-
ralty. The number of men impressed from Wed-
nesday to Saturday, amounted to 2300. On Pa
day the tender was quite full, and the men after-
wards impressed were taken to the Tower. The
Watermen's Company have been required to fur-
ni..h hOO men, and all the members, consisting of
Lighternsen and IVaterries, have received' notice
to attend the Rulers of the Company, is order to
ale& those who eaa be best spared. •

Of the two expeditions preparing in our ports,
that at Yarmouth is certainly destined for the
Baltic. The other wall sail from thil Downs, but 't
destination is merely the *labial of boojeaure. We
do not think it is Boulogne; Antwerp, Flashing, or
the Helder, would be a more probable point of at-
tack. Both expeditions will take out troops, but
that in the Downs will have the greater somber.
The troops to be employed in it will amount to
20,000, about a fourth of which will consist of ca-
valry. Several of the regiments have already em.
barked, mad the remainder are upon the coast, or on
their march to it. The whole of the infantry, con-
slating of t vele. battalions, are yr be on board by
Wednesday; and the whole of the cavalry, nom.
posed of five Regiments, will be alba by Friday ;
immediately after which it will proceed to its desti.
