The following particulars are given in a letter
from a respedable house at New York, dated Au-
gust '4.'3.
" We are in hourly expeaation of the arrival of
Mr. Jackson, your Envoy to our Goveinnient, who
is to patch up the matters in dispute between Eng-
land and us. Some persons, when they heard of
the non-ratification of Mr. Erskine's engagements,
wete,,as you know, extremely violent, and were for
immediately dispatching Mr. Erskine back to Great
Britain.

" When they first learnt that it was expeaed that
matters could be composed, and that Mr. Jackson
was appointed to try his hand at another treaty,
their rage seemed to increase : but refieaiijna good
deal' cooled them-, and they began to open their eyes,
and, to see their own ,real interests.- -

"How much more to our mutual advantage would
an honourable peace be than' a bloody war, which
could henefit neither of us. This must lie plain to
every man .of common sense.

" According to‘the.date when Mr. Jackson sailed
frotriTtigrand to negociate here, he ought by this
thine to have arrived. Some letters'are reported to
say, that he_ has already reached Baltimore; but this
account has been so often repeated that we are com-
pletely tired or it. - - . •
" Notwithstanding the
.ferment 'the ;condu& of
your Cabinet at fiat created, now people have had
time to consider of it, the general disposition of their
Minds is -pacific ; and Mr. Jackson will, 1 dale say,,
set things in a right .point of view."

other division of the army is near Campo Mayor and

hood. The army is extremely sickly,—about 7000
sick, wounded, &c. The light cavalry is almost
dismounted; a remount of horses for the 14th and
16th arrived from England, under Major ARCHER.
That fine regiment the Ist, or Royal Dragoons,
commanded by that excellent Officer Gen. SLADE,
landed and marched into Belem- (ten days from
Cork) 700 strong, in high. order. Scarcely a trans-
port in,the Tagus, and only the Badleur and' Semi-

army, direCtions have been given to -hire all private
praetitioners. London physicians get two guineas
per day, And surgeons and apothecaries in .propor-
tion.

and several other Gentletneu of that *department, are
ready to embark from that port in the next packet
for Flushing, to arrange and establish barracks there,
upon the usual establishment, and under the same-
reotriaions in this country,
