rApuudent iu this city, dated Washingtoo, March 9.
" A private letter from Mr. Punkney has been
received, by the Secretary 01 State. He expect:d
to have sent au official note from the Marquis
Wellesley, but it did not reach Falmouth in time
for the Packet. I understand, that an the arrival
of the dispatches carried out by Mr. Oakley, an
extra meeting of the Cabinet Council was held—
and that the second day after, there was an inter-
view between Mr. Pinkney and the Marquis—that
the Marquis assured Mr. Pinkney that the conduct
of Mr. Jackson was disapproved of by the British
Government; and that a new Minister, of respect-
able rank. would be sent oat to the United States,
in an extra frigate. In the mean while, the rela-
tive svuation between the two government'', would
not he materially affected. The Marquit intimated,
that lie was not trammelled with the acts of his pre-
decessor ; and, upon the w hole. from his openness,
and urbanity of manners, appeared to be disposed
to cwine to art amicable arrangement."
