We have this day continued our Extraas; from
.the dmerican Papers which arrived yesterdny. they.
confirm the account which we gave on Thursday, of
14e arrival of Mr.; Rose at Norfolk, in Virginia ;
'414 state, that before he landed he informed the
Commanding Officer of the Port, that his Instruc-
tions were not to land until he received assurances
that the Oaken! and Crew of the Ship in which he
came should be received' with hospitality; and put
on the same friendly footing as the Officers and
Ships of France, or any oilier Country in atilty
with America, The Commanding Officer not.
instructed how to ad in this case, sent 'off
nlniss to Washington, and an answer was,re-
"fled, which proving' satisfaclory to Mr. Rosa, he
landed,' and proceeded 'On. the journey to Washingt-.
t"' The Political disputes in America appear to
grow every day more violent. Mr. RANDOLPH has
Publicly accused General WiLKINSON of being a
l'anish Pensioner, and General WILKINSON, in
return, Challenged Mr. RANDOLNI, who very pro-
-1,,r1y refused the challenge until the General had.
Vindicated his charafter.

" The Empire of the nrazils) founded upon its
own proper. means) would have soon nothing; to
derhand, nothing to fear froni England. No
Power of the Old World, though supported by the
aid of the English Marine; would be able to effect
there a successful invasion, or a permanent con-
quest. A nation safe from this apprehension, it
always independent. It can neither receive laws
from a foreign force, nor be long blind to its own
interests, nor be negle&lul of its own resources.
The more populous it becomes the more necessity
it will feel to develope itself, the less will it admit
foreigners to gather that which it may gain for its
own account. Thus the Brazilian will soon learn
to manufaeture the raw cottons and hides which
he sent to the mother country. Already have
English. artificers set oat in great numbers to esta-
blish mantifadories and tanneries in the Brazils.
But these artists, will soon. become the children
Of a new country ; their labour will" enrich it,
and contribute to detach it from the alliance of
England.. Thus of the two hypotheses which
we have proposed, neither is favourable to the po-
litical or . mercantile speculations of the English
Government. Either the Brazils will remain
in their Tresent state, and the loss of Portugal
is without compensation; or the Brazils will be-
come a great enipire," and then England will:not
be able to maintain there its commercial domi-
nation. In whatever point of view it is looked at,
it is always_to her the loss of an immense colony ;
and, should the House of Braganza return to
Europe, as the event which made it leave it must
inevitably change its relations, England must stilt
have to deplore the result."

In consequence of the very heavy fall of snow
yesterday, the Mails did not arrive this, morning time
enough for us to receive our regular Port Letters.
Yesterday the Prince of WALES visited their MA..
JESTIES and the PRINCESSES.,

It was the Rev. HUGII PIERCY; whom the Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY presented to her MAJESTY/
and not the Rev. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON.

Lady KEITH was presented to her MAJESTY, upon
her marriage, .at the Drawing-rooth.

„ The Duke of 13enroan and Colonel FOSTER were

Sir JOHN SrewiaT, the hero of Maida, is appoint-
ed to the chief command 'in Sicily. Wherever he
has commanded, he has • not only supported the
honour of his country in arms, but he has conciliat—
ed the inhabitants by his affability, and his attention
to their comfort and welfare.
Some accounts are said to have been received
froM Adinral DUCK'CORTH, who, is 'stated to have

Generals RALEiANI and.CASSiDA, hostages from
South America ,on the pari .of,the Spanish GoVern-
ment, and several other Spanish Officers in their
suite, were entertained on Thursday in a -most
splendid and sumptuous manner, at. the Spring Gar-
dens Coffee-house, by a numerous assemblage of
British Officers, who lately served at Monte Video
.and Buenos Ayres, Captain Caiiama. • (late British
hoStage.at, BUenos Ayres), in the Chair. ,The even-
ing passed.orf with the greatest harmony; and sol-
diers, heretaore rivals in the field, having passed
many hours cordially together at the festive board,
parted with mutual tokens of respect and esteem.

' ROYAL AcAuumy.-The vacancies occasioned by
the death of the late Mr. °PIE and Mr. GILPIN,
two admirable Artists in their respeetive depart-
' ments, were on Wednesday last supplied by the
eld&ion of Mr. HowAitp and Mr. PHILLIPS, who
are now Royal Academicians. Mr. Flowann pus-
sessekconsiderable merit in subjeCts of allegorical
description, as well as in the portrait line ; and Mr..
PHlLtars in the latter province has shewn very re-
spe6table talents. •
HAPPY ESCAPE.- .On Thursday night last, the
'Countess of CLARE returned to her house in Saville-
row, about 12 o'clock, after passing the evening
with Lord and Lady FITZGIBBON', her son and
daughter; shortly after Which her Ladyship-retired
to ber apartments, Which are situated in the back
part of the house. About two o'clock, she was
greatly alarmed by, the cracking of the.roof of the
,house; shortly after a large stack of chimnies were.
bloWn down by the high wind, which forced in part
of the roof and the ceiling ef her, Ladyship's bed-
roorn, when near a ton of brick, together with the
ceiling, fell in, and literally buried her Ladyship. In
this perilous :sitnation she remained till after four
o'clock, when she was released by her domestics.—
The, whole Of the back roof, together with the sky-
light of her Ladyship's hack drawing-room, are
completely demolished. We are happy to state that..
her Ladyship did not sustain
.any m.tterial injury,
and was,able yesterday ,to receive tlitf-vi.,its of her
private friends,
