REPORT .I) PACIFECATION OF AMERICA.

The following letter, said to have been received in town,
from Liverpool, state 3 the arrival at that port, at a late hour
on Tuesday eliciting, of a vessel from North America, with
intelligence, " that the Proclamation repealing the Orders
in Council had been received in America with acclamations
of joy in every quarter where it was made known, and that
Mr. • President MAnlsux bad been constrained to issue
Proclamation, declaring America and Great Britain to be at
Peace. War liras also immediately declared against France,
and the popular indignation against MADIS:iN and his fac-
tion was raised to the highest pitch."
Pleased as we should be to find this report true, we do not
think it hitherto entitled to much ci edit. 'We even doubt
the authenticity of the Liverpool letter, as from the cor-
respondence we have established with that place, we ate cer-
tain, that had such a vessel arrived with such inte:Lgence, it
would have immediately been communicated to us. We ra-
titer suspect it has been fabricated here for intetested pur-
poses. However, it is not impossible that the American
people should have at last perceived the corrupt partiality
of their Government towards France, and should have in-
sisted on the recal of the Decimation of War agactis us.
We have always contended, that the hostile. disposition cf
America against us, was that purchased by N APOLEON anion:;
the Members of the Executive and tl:eir party, and did not
exist among the people. Should this repart prove true. it
will confirm uu.r surmises, an 4 shew, that American patriot-

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

BELLlNciinm. A letter from this determined and
desperate assassin to a friend in Liverpool, dated Isildy
11, 1812, the very day on which he perpetrated his
clime, concludes with the following paragraph, sufficiently
significant of the wicked purpose formed and cherished
in the villain's mind, and contemplated with so little re-
, pugnance or remorse as merely to be talked of by him in
a light and sporting sort of style :
~ I wish my affairs were come to a conclusion—every thing, in point
of law, is in my favour; but Mr. l'EacKva t a:l4 the Ministry have
shown themselves more inclined to favair Lord Go%YFR than do p-
rice to me : however, as I am resolred on having justice, in roie of
tired, I will re•?i shortly play a court caril to compel them to finish the
game. lam yours sincere7y, .'JOHN BELLINGHAM."
Fuesday evening, about six. o'clock, a youth about eighteen, the Pu-
pil of a surgeon and apothecary, in Charlotte street, Bedford-square,
put an end to his existence, in the open fi-..lds by the road-side, leading
' from Tottenham-cottrt-road to Camden-town.
Tuesday morning, a dreadful fire broke out at a house of ill-fame in
Gutter-lane, by which the same was burnt to the ground. Two unfor-
tunate persons, the one named Wats. n, who had been rider for a cflmercial house in the city, and the other, a woman of the town,

POLICE.

.........„..._ .
MARLBOROUGH :c' tan!: T.
A strange occurrence took place at this Office on Wednesday evening,
which excited considerable alarm. Two of the Magistrates were con-
versing together in the absence of business, when a genteel looking
man approached the table in an assumite4 attitude, with his hat on, and
carelessly threw a pamphlet on the tal;lc, demanding that it should be
perused, and the grievances therein complained of redressed, or '• he
would do for some of them." On his uttering the last expression, he
drew from a side Is 'cket a knife, u 'sheathed, such as is used for slaying
cattle, and then left the room, pointing it at the Magistrates. The in-
'ruder immediately made his escape. lie again made his appearance
at the Office )..stcrday, and was immediately taken iiAti custody, and
•, handcuffed. On searching him, the knife which he presOted, in his
threat to the Magisl rates, was found. The prisoner underwent an ex-
'amination yesterday before Mr. CON NANT ; but he assigned no other
reason for his alarming conduct, than that he sought redress for in-
juries, which were stated in the pamphlet. The prisoner's name is Le
lTurc, and he is a French teacher at an academy, near London. The
pamphlet is written in a romantic style, complaining of want of re-
dress for injuries, the nature of Which are not even stated. He had
written several letters to the Government Offices, and complained of
neglect in his applications at Bow-street. His whole demeanour implied
a degree of insanity. He was remanded to safe custody until another
day. The prisoner is of French parents. but born in England, has been
a French mariner, and an English soldier, and states himself to have
rendered services to Government.

BRAZIL MAIL.

A Mail from Brazil reached town yesterday. The
letters from Rio de Janeiro are to 10:11 April ; but their
contents are not of much importance. They state, that
a rencontre had taken place between a Portuguese ship
of war and two blockading vessels in the River Plate, in
vhich the former had the ascendency. Very little notice
is taken of the reported misunderstandings between the
Portuguese Government and the Junta of Buenos Ayres,
which induce a belief, that the reports on that subject
have been greatly exaggerated. Letters from Buenos
Ayres to the 22d March, have also been received by the
Mail from Brazil, which are alsti silent on the same sub-
ject; k.ut they state that the Government of Buenos
Ayres had signified its intention of reducing the duties
0.1 goods imported from Great Britain, one third of
present amount.

AMERICA.
The attention of the country is at present divided be-
tween the unprecedented state of our Executive Govern-
ment, and the pi o,pect of an approaching war with Ame.
rica. I)4:itches have been received in town from Mr.
Fovsr.a, which are understood to contain intelligence of
a decisively hostile nature. Although nothing has trans-
pired from which the precise •tendency of these official
communications can be deduced, they are said, on the ad:
thority of private accounts accompanying them, to con-
t.,in information that Letters of Mitrque and Reprisals had
actually been issued, rind orders given for the sequestra
!'"n of British property, and the detention of British sub-

he will only gain partial and temporary relief; if he expe-
rience an overthrow, in all human probability his authority
trill not long survive the shock. The heterogenous mass
winch he commands be likely to contribute to his de-
s!-action, and the enslaved nations of Germany will at last
rise in vengeance on their spoiler. Sweden, who has hi-

FROM THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE OF JULY 25.

The enemy, availing themselves of General ilallasteros'z, absence,
re-appeared in the neighbourhood of the Rock, en the night of Sunday
last, to the number of from 4 to 5,000 men, commanded by General
Villat, and have ever since continued at Los Barrios, demanding ra-
tions at Roche and Algesiras. and driving or carrying to Medina all
th ! cattle and grain thty can find in the adjacent country. On their
approarliing Alge-iras the day before yesterday, they were fired upon
from the Bay, but this did not prevent them capturing a detachment
of 118 invalids, who were proceeding from that town by land to Ta-
riffa. Prince de Anglonos de Viieon is in the vicinity of the last men-
tioned place The other two divisions of the fourth Spanish Army, one
under the command of General Ballasterost and the other under the
Marquis Cuevas, are at Yunquera.
An action is reported to have taken place between them and the
French, and an order to have been sent to Caceres, to get 1000 beds
ready' for the Spanish wounded. By the latest accounts that have
reached' the garrison, Generals Leval and Rey occupied Cour Monda,
and the environs, with 6000 men, and General Courroux was marching
towlirds Ardulis, with Sumo.

cleared up through the medium of your widely c Tculating

be, I conceive it is not likely to aflcct the credit of vaccina-

bear in mind the old sayings, that they should do as the
Doctor directs, and not as be does. If the fact should appear
to be, that the inoculation of the son of Dr. Jetmer with the
small-pox took place through a doubt of the merits of the
discovery, it may detract considerably from the credit due
to Dr. Jenner himself, and invalidate his claim to public
gratitude, however his discovery may merit universal admit

St n,—Your well-grounded and salutary conitillints again, the dark
spirit of niggardly (economy, or swindliug muin pnlv that had blown

full effect (see N. It. No. 2f9,) and I beg jon to accep7, publicly, my
thanks, and those of many of my friends, whom that suppry
considerably annoyed, during the whole of the winturl v months,
It must be grarif:;ing to you that your suggestions shonld ha' e reshot(
its wonted light to that noble structure. and it adds a •aluable instar.-e
to the numerous proofs which we have already of the utility of n, w 4.

men who alone can remedy the e%II c,nuplained of. lILw many insults,
lohberies, and, perhaps, murders and suicides, may be prevented by
having re-illumined that hequented place, is incalculable as they must
heretofore remain in the'ela-s of mere possibilities. Certain it is, how-
ever, that security is restored with light. and trust this useful restitu-
tion will prove a lasting benefit for the passengers, who ciliumt help
being grateful to yen as the occasion IA it. As for myself, whe:.evee
[
cross the bridge at night, I cannot but think of the .National Itcgister.
whose paragraphs do nut only enlighten n.y mind but giois also light to
my steps. I intend to present you.'at another time, with some lute.

POLITICAL

lIICII PRICE OF CORN.,

•
When any great calamity psses heavy on the popula-
tion of a country, though nothing can be more obvious than
that no human wisdom could by possibility have wholly
averted it, it is still rarely seen that the great body of the
people arc sati,fied that thCir affliction arises solely nom the
visitations of Providence. Though no•doubt can exist tha,
the seasons have proved unfavourable, or that other circum-
stances beyond the controul of man have in part produced
the evil, still it is suspected that that evil is aggravated by
human means, and that a portion of the community arc ac-
tively employed in-endeavouring to build their fortunes on
the general distress. At such a period, the writer who
wishes to be popular has only to give an object to public
indignation to make clamour appear rational; and outrage
not unjustifiable. We trust that our general conduct will
wholly exempt us from the suspicion of being actuated by
such a motive, when we call the attention of our readers to
the present high price of corn, and we wish it to be con-
stantly borne in mind that it is our object to enquire, not to
condemn ; that if the statements we shall have to make, and
the observations which may accompany them, should appear
to bear against the interests, or against the conduct of any
class of men, it is not our wish to throw on them unmerited
obloquy, and it is hardly necessary for us to add, that if any
one thinks he has reason to complain of an attack, our
columns will be thrown open to his defence.
We have chosen the present time for the discussion of
this subject, as being that at which it is least likely to inflame
the public mind ; as being that at which it has the best
chance of being calmly listened to, and at which the defence
qf the party, in some sort accused, will have every probability
of being dispassionately heard: The sl►ouls of triumph in
which all classes have joined with the patriotic enthusiasm
characteristic of Englishmen, combined with the joyful, and,
we trust, well•founded anticipation of an abundant harvest,
have happily, in a great degree, done away those heats, and
removed those differences which had previously kept the
public mind in a state of dangerous ferment, and put an
end to those divisions which had disturbed the great family.
The public feeling, thus restored to its proper tone, will
be mote impervious to the effects of suchlen irritation, will •
be prepared serenely to weigh, and deliberately to judge.
The high price to which the necessaries of life have ►isen
in this country, and more especially that of provisions, is
a subject of great importance, and one which calls for
the most se► ious consideration. N% hen the price of articles
of luxury is encreased, the augmentation is not only to be
borne, but it may even deserve to be encouraged to a certain
