WE recei'ed this morning Amer ieaa Papers Xo the
6th_ult. It, is stated in the New-York Paper of the
2d. ult. that. a French Squadron.of three Sail'of the
Line was seen crazing on the iqth May near Saint
Domingo ; and on the 2.1 d of May another Squa,
drop of five Sail of the Line, supposed to be French,
Vas seed considerably more to the Northward.
The reports respeEting M}RAND, are still contra,
diEtory. It is stated that two of his Schooners had
been. captured by the Sp4oiarcis, and that his own
ship, the Leander, had had a very §eyere engage-
ment with a Spanish Sloop of War, which he beat
off. Other acCotints state, that he effe6ted a landing
iti Cumapa, without opposition. •

As it is understood that several Battalions of Bri
fish Troops have received orders for embarkation,
for the purpose of reinforcing our Army in the,Me-
diterranean, and that two Battalions of the Guards
also are under orders for fOreign service, the retort
which we mentioned yesterday, that the pacific Ne-
gotiations had been broken off, gained additional
strength from this circumstance, and lowered the
Funds. There is, however, no mason for giving
any credit to the report that Negotiations have ceased,
cg ik is nctt to be supposed that Ministers would
put a stop to any measures they had in view respe&_
ing intended operations abroad, in the present state
of those Negotiations, whatever might be the ulti,
mate result.

THE Debate last night TU:tiie Upper House, upon
Lord ViSCOUrlt MELVILLE'S Motion. respeeting the
recall of .Sir GEORGE BARLOW from the Government
Generalship of. India, .was of an animated kind, and
gave scope to the ,talenfq of several of the'Peers,
among whom Lord GRENI'ILLE partiCularly distin-
guishedhitriself. I,p -the course of his Lordship's
speech he took occasion to pay very high cornpli7
ments to Marquis WELLESLEy, for his ‘•` brilliant
splendid, and useful Administration of India;" and
stated that Sir GEORGE PARLOW had co-operated
with the Marquis in all his.measures. Hence it is
to be inferred, that if it were not deemed necessary
to excite the respe& and confidence of the Native
Powers, and support the ihterests of the Empire, by
the. -appointment of a person o.t distinguished rank
to the* situation of Governor-general of India, Sir
GEoltoE would have been coiminued in tshat irnpor7
tint station. After a long and pot uninteresting
cliscgssion, Lord Mm...viLmo was induced to with-
.draw his Motion.

The American Intercourse Bill, Which has excited
oo flinch atteptiob in the Commercial World, was
read third time last night in the House of Com-
mons., and, after a warm Debate, pa.ssed with a Ma-
jority of fifty-five.
