-AMERICA,

. . .
WASHINGTON., JULY 31.-;;-Mr. Ersloi- the Bri
tish arrived in this city fin Driday last. In
our paper of this day will be found a copy of the in-
structions produced by Mr. Calming in the 8: itish
Parlianieot as the basis on which the late ati.ange-
sment was entered" into by Mr. Erskine. It appears
to us extremely improbable that these were the only
instrumiuns,on which Mr.-Erskine proceeded in the
negoci.rion at this place,--arid -for these reasons
Mr.,Erskine, in his first letter, as a preliminary to .
any overture for his•renewal of intercourse', oticruil
What was deemevi adequate. satisfaCtion for the affair
of.the Chesapeake...—Where, in these instructions, i 3
any instruCtion relative to the atfair of the Che
peake?• It is nut even mentioned ; and the pre-
sumption is that there was a previous-communica-
tion, the, confidential nature of which possibly pre-
vented its publication. Indeed, in the instruCti ms
published, a " toraler disr,wch". is twinioned, the
Contents of which, however, are not designated.--:,
Again ; these instruCtious 'require._ a formal recogni-
tion by the United States of ,threeconditioo, to one
at least of which the Government. of the United
States could never accede. It may be doubted wh.2-
titer Mr. Erskine 'would so far have -deviated frem •
positive instructions as to make an air.:ngement
without the recognition of
,any one of 'then. Mr.
Oakley, the bearer of the dispatches which e c t o_
basis of the arrangement made in this city, arrived in 7
the United States in the Rosamond, on the 3d ( f
April, •which
.ves el brought London dates on the-
gth of February. The instruction published- are
dated.the 23d of January, at least t 6 days prior to
_the
departute of Mr. Oakley...from London; and in
this no mention is made of Mr. Oakley, who was
selected as. the bearer. It seems to be a rational de.,
duEtion, that Mr. Oakley was selected as the bearer
of instruaions of a subsequent date, also possibly
of a confidential nature, and therefore not publish-
ed. About the time that Mr. Oakley sailed also, the
Ministerial Speakers in Parliament, and the Mniiitei •
rial Prints, conveyed the idea that the British
nistry confidently expected an amicable adjustment
of atl differences with America.—Did tiny (xpeCt it
froth the instructions now published ? Did the,
expel it' from the requisition of humiliating con—
ditions from us, in consequence of which th,y would
do us the favour to tax us no longer ? The idea
absurd. In short, it is evident that these were not
the wily instructions given to Mr..Erkine, although
they might have.composed that part of. them w,acn
it has deetned politic to make public.—(i atiOna

THOUGHTS on MR. ERSKINE'sARRANGEMENI4e

(FROM ANOTHER AmERtCAN 'PAPER.)
It is time duty of those who have any influence in
society to be slow in forming a judgment on rrie3i.
!uref; which are connected with-the public interest.
'While the throng is noisy, with applause and hop..,
virth dread or detestation, they are 16 hazard no
sen.iments, not even conjectures, unwarranted : by
p:ain, admitted t.cts, and ought to rleskt the •delu:r
sons of their own prejudices, as well as to avoid the
arts and intrigues of hot-headed pattkans. It is
equally a Jury to prevent the influence of: friitid and
passion in society, and topromote that, equanimity,
whicn prepares men for acceding to What is right;
rathenahan insisting on all they wish.
Has this duty been performed at a moment When
every quarter.of our country has been stimulated by
those pests of society, who work for contusion, and
riot_only in ruin, to clamour about our ill-fated ar-
rangement. with England ? 00inions, a. iooio' as
first impressions, l4ve been written, printed, ret,tat4
ed, and adopted in leS.s time,. and with -less
gati liven it reqn'ires to decide on he ci,l,wr or
cJai. fete chit-chat of ihe Exchange or Of a dimmer
party ha, s,,ti4led inany.-:--o; hers halve taken Counsel
from their fears- and their suspiciens---=,others have
rage railed from their baser prejudici, and nrereierons
partiality ;---most, however, seem to have fOr4otten,
tliat now was the proper 'hue hir that dispis,ioned
consideration, which our fortunes may (4ie tiny foyer
upon us, in spite of our dreaMs or our pas;ions-.
That the tfubjg& of our present • relatioes rm it h
England should be -properly considered well un-
derstood, it is rst to be observed, that -there is cid-
thing to affed or alarm us in a single fact; that hag
come to our .knoWk‘d.V. Suppose all Mr. Erskine')
arrangements to be ditsavoWed by. England, we are
still in a much better situation titan we were k:le.
months since. The ocean is opens to US,' and our.
art and enterp:ize will sectire to us.as•nemey wive .;•,
tig„ as „e expected orti}e repeal. of Ot.-embargo,
in the present conflict of time world. All obstaelel
'to a 'fair explanation with Great Britt n ate .re,
noted. The tennernent fur the attack On time
Chesapeake,:whieh would be satisfactory to the 004
vernment, is knosvn ; and other,sujects, dependent
as much on the poll, y of France:ai: the imperious
duty of Englimi,,May be coolly discuSsed and add%
cabry adjusted. • .
Why, then, all the alarm and anxiety, and vexa...
tibn, that we meet, and hear, ant' see? Has i;e
English Government given us any cause fur it On
the contrary, when its Minister has vinlateu his in 4
structions, and granted us terms beyond the enter f.
of his authority, it has very honourably raiffitql iii
inofficial arrangement, so tar as to• secure us flow
any loss from enterprizes founded on time ;luau=
thorised concession of its agent. Do you find such
holiour, in the Corsican, Or. would not his perfidy
have appeared in the annihilating a cornmerre
which, under such a mistake, 'had been phiced
within his grasp /
This sentiment is not confined to party., It
gett,:ral. E.. en Duane and Honestus, and all • the.
French wiiters, admit, that if Mr. Erski:l6 had no
other instructions than those which have been puti-
lished, we Drive no around of'complaint against the
English Ministry. ;round
says, with the sane it mkt
that he called Wigh ngton au 4.assin and atiatas

and A.,!arng a trafor--." We undertake to say, and
desire thit it may be remembered, the Brirish Go-
vernment has suppressed part of Mr. Erskine's in-
struaions, which would bear Mr. Erskine out the
whole letigt h and measure of the engagements
which he has made to our Government." Is not
this. a complete admission by these who rail against
England, that from the instruaions which are now
disclosed, Mr. Erskine was not authorised to do
what he has done, and that they do not bear him
out the whole length and measure of the engage-
- talents which he has made to our Government. This
is all that is asserted or insisted upon by those who
pray for the continuance of an honourable peace be-
tween this country and England. They only say,
that in the present case, England is no more hound to
ratify the inofficial arrangements of Mr. Erskine,
than Mr. Jefferson was to ratify the treaty of Messrs.
M.mroe and Pinckney. The necessary conclusion
of this- reasoning, and the consequent acquittal of
The English Ministry, can be avoided only by deny-
ing that we have seen Mr. Enkine's instrudions,
and asserting that Mr. Canning first authorised him
to make the arrangement he has made, then dis-
avowed it, and finally has suppressed his instruc-
tions. Now as it can be proved in a word, that
such conduct would be as stupid ant: knavish as the
greatest tool could imagine or practise, it is incre-
dible that any man of common sense should listen
to it for a moment.
Can any man imagine a motive for such a course
of policy ? Has England gained any thing by it ?
Has not her Ministry now to encounter, in its full
force, a jealousy, which her enemies have always
fostered ? ales not that pdpular suspicion, which
grows out of feeling and disappointment, and which
you can scarcely eradicate by words or aetions, court-
- terbalance any unaccountable advantage that Eng-
land might have proposed ? Are we in a better hu-
mour to make great concessions to her, after such
important ones have been made to us for nothing ?
Our produce was afloat, and entered her harbours as
naturally as it left our own. Six-pence on a bag of
cotton, gained by a direr trade, could not be the
price for which the English Ministry were willing to
sell the impartiality cf this country, which they
have been labouring so many years to acquire. Be-
sides, as the minority in Parliament had insisted on
a total repeal of the Orders in Council, the Ministry
had nothing to fear from a modification of them.—
It is impossible, therefore, to find any motive for so
touch duplicity, even if it could be conceded ; but
what chance was there for concealment in this case ?

None.
If the English Ministry has deviated in the least
from the straight line of honour, we must know it.
Consider for a moment into what hands they have
committed their fame and fortunes. In order to
prove to this country their sincere wish to preserve
peace with us, and the fairness of their negociations,
the present Ministry have made all their offers to us
through Mr. Erskine, who is decidedly in the oppo-
sition. A greater pledge of their friendly disposi-
tion could not be given. Mr. Erskine then is their
political opponent. Lord Erskine is at the head of
the Opposition. Mr. Erskine will not be very ready
to submit to disgrace to aid the policy of those to
whom he is opposed.
Lord Erskine will not, for the honour of his fa-
mily, suffer such a charge to rest upon his son with-
out retuta ion, if it can be refuted. • Mr. Erskine
has his instiui..'tions in his pockt,tt, and it they will
bear him out in what lie has done, will he keep them
close wvlten their exposure will confound his oppo-
nents, and support his claim with propriety, and
justice, and duty ?
This reasoning, and these remarks, are not drawn
forth by the Billingsgate of Duane and Honestus,
and that class of beings, whose professional labours
are libels on men, and misrepresentations of mea-
sures. But there is another class of men who dare
riot repeat this absurd charge, yet are willing to sup-
port it by hints and surmises ; men, who have a con-
flict between their vanity and t heir malignity, yet strive
to gratify both ; both men, v 4 ho shun the disgrace
of propagating falsehood, which they wish to be be:-
Lev: Li. To the admirers of such men, as well as to
those who have been too hurried or agitated to con-
sidL r the subject, these hints are particularly ad-
dressed.

NEW YonK, Ace. 2.—Mr. Canning's disavowal
of Mr. Erskine's proceedings, in the case of his ar-
rangements with this Country, created no little con-
:stet-nation here.' America was quite unprepared for
inch a disclosure;—the destruction of one of her
cities could not have caused more alarm. When it
was reported Mr. Erskine had acted contrary to his
instructions, and that England would not courne•
nalKie w hat he had dune, et ery one's looks pour-
:rayed distrust, not knowing whether the British
IVltnistry were to blame, or whether the blame
rested. wholly with Air. Erskine. Some persons
were a little more reasonable than others, but the
generality excl.,imed loudly against the conduct of
the British Adioinistration. For a few days it was
very unpleasant for a native of Great B itatn to walk
is the st eras. Frequently, in passing any of the
gr:alpes at the corners of the streets, where small
traffics of ten or twelve persons assembled for the
inscussion of their important change, I have heard
paany of them observe, in an ill natured way, " that
:pan is an Englishman." Their anger has somewhat
abated but at one time we were apprehensive of ex-
periencing the like confusion as prevailed when the
Chesuleuke trig:ite was fired upon, when it was al-
most at thp hazard of an Englishman's life it he made
this appearance in public.
Tnelialtimore Paper, of this day's arrival, goes so
far as to state that 'Mr. Smith concluded the treaty
with Mr. Erskine before he saw his instructions, and
villa Ws Mr. E. to have acted without any attention to
is eiders. This may be a mis-statement ; yet we
are very much inclined to believe it, thinking that our
Government could not have acted so inconsistently.
lt has always been understood that Mr. Erskine leans
little towards America, and was- anxious for a
&ottleinent. During the last Sessions, he invited
to b.s house several of the Members of Congress,
who, atter they had dined, introduced the subject of
the late happy termination of our countries 'differ-
ences. One of the company went so far as to ask
-Alr:Erskitie, whether he thought what had been
done would be ratified by
,his -Government ? It is
said Erskine answered, that they could ridt do
ptherwise, for England knew the value of American
friendship too Well to disapprove what would add so
vp.49h to ' the happlupss of both naoous and 0104-

over, he could ass'ire them of her good intentions,
knowing that she considered this country of vast
importance, and wished by all means for a recon-
ciliation. There ‘l, ill be much difficulty in per-
suading this Government to accept of any terms
materially different from the arrangement which has
already been concluded, although it be owned by
Mr. Smith, that he was aware of Mr. E's proceed-
ings being unauthoriset'. It is the general opinion
that Mr. Jackson will not be able to bring matters
to any reasonable conclusion. Business is quite at a
stand,,excepting the sales at vendue, where a few
goods are disposed of, but at considerable deductions,
at a loss of not less t han 40 per cent. You , wAt,
ere this, have received accounts of the yellow fever
committing its sad depredations, but be under no ap-
prehensions of my safety, for whenever its ravages
increase, I will leave the city. As yet we have but
few cases, but at Brooklynn, a small village on Long
Lland, opposite to us, there have been several cases.
All communication is stopped, in consequence of the
appearance of this disease.

The Danish privateer which captured the Arch-
angel ships is taken and carried into Leith by the
Snake sloop of war.

Badajos Diaries of the 27th tilt. being two days
later than those previously received, have just ar-
rived ; the only article of interest in them is the fol-
lowing :

TALABAN, AUG. I.B.—An Officer of the Placen-
tia Volunteers, who has arrived here, and who left
Puerto de Banos the tith inst. states, that he saw
at the said place the division of Sir ROBERT
SON engaged with the French from the loth to
the itth, and that it became necessary for him to re-
ale towards the Sierra de Francia, by the town of
Montemayor, i❑ the road of Ciudad Rodrigo,
that in the attack the regimens of Seville and
Merida distinguished themselves greatly, repuls-
ing the French cavalry, and causing considerable
loss to the enemy, who afterwards proceeded to
Salamanca in number 15,000 men, with correspond-
ing artillery, leaving in Placentia 3000 infantry and
about 2000 cavalry.

He adee,l that Sir R. WILSON killed two French-
men with his own hand, that the Marquis
DE LA ROMANA was at Benevento on the Ist of
this month, pushing his advanced posts, compo,ed
of the cha6seurs of Castile, and the Q;ieeti's
within a few leagues of Salamanca.

The said Officer carries a passport from Si► Ro
ZERTWILsoN, and proceeds for our head-quarters.
—(Diario de Badajos, Aug. 26.)

The Editor of the Morning Paper, upon whose
extraordinary assertions and remarks we yesterday
animadverted, has not thought proper to explain
himself further. Upon a few points, however, we
think it right to make some additional observations.
When we abstained from answering the bold
statement, relative to the concealment of important
intelligence from the highest authority, we really
conceived it to be impossible that such an assertion
could meet with crecht in, any quarter. Its absur-
dity, we thought, would furnish the most complete
reply. But as t here really appear to be sonic persons
who either believe, or pretend to believer this
strange story, because it has not met with a formal
contradi&ion, we now state, that we believe it to be
one of the grossest fidsehoods ever hazarded by in-
veteracy. The delicacy we expressed upon the sub-
je& arose from our unwillingness to enter into a dis-
cussion as to what had passed between our Sovereign
and his Ministers, and most particularly as to the
personal motives and opinions of that Personage, the
introdudion of whose name into political controver-
sies is as totally inconsistent with free discussion, as
with the respe& due to his exalted station in the Coup-
try ; and we did hope and trust that such feelings
did not require to be " particularly stated."

We did, and do, consider as an instance of al-
most unparalleled audacity the insinuation of the
writer before us in respect of Loyd WELLINoToN's
Peerage ; but tipon the whole subjeat we felt it the
less necessary to speak in detail, because our strong-
est feeling was that of astonishment,at the bold pre-
tensions of the Editor of the Times to information
upon matters nec.'ssarily confidential, and his allu-
sions to the contents of a letter, which, according to
him, had been equally concealed from King and
People !
In regard to Lord CASTLEREAGH, we utterly dis-
claim ,
(and we, means ourselves, and nobody but
ourselves), any intention of imputing to: his Lord-
ship, in the smallest degree whatever, the result cf
the late campaigns, either in Spain or Holland.--L
When we used the tone of slight disapprobation,
wa were thinking of something. very different from
that wl4ch, The Morning CliroOde pretends to ap-

-ptehend. It has long been our opinion that the to.
ble Secretat'y has not done justice to himself and his
office, in suffering personal and delicate motives to
interfere with the just exculpation, which he pos-
sessed, of his oflicial,condua in regard to some for-
mer military measures. Let The Morning Chroni-
cle refled upon this, and be grateful for the- for-
bearance which their friends have experienced.
On the subjel of Changes of Administration, we
can only notice, as the rumours of the day, that the
Duke of PORTLAND'S last attack, and general state

of health, have induced him to wish to retire from
the Treasury; and that other consequent changes
are spoken of, particularly in the War Department,
to which, it has been reported, a statesman is to be
called, whose energy and decision are almost pro-
verbial through the world. But these are mere re-
ports. This, only, we can venture to assert, that
the changes alluded to, if they take place, will have
no sort of connexion with the present state of our
military affairs.

We are glad to find that the observations which
we yesterday made upon the Jacobinical sentiments
and language of the chief Opposition Paper have
worked some reformation. But thy Paper in question
very wisely endeavours to confine its exculpation to the
Emperor of RUSSIA, of whom it says it has been
been accused of speaking with " unbecoaling.harsh-
ness." This is a very tender way of explaining its
mode of describing the victims of BUONAPARTE's
overwhelming violence, which has pulled so many
Sovereigns from their thrones, whom that Paper
denominated " sceptred fools hurled from their
thrones by the just decrees of Providence." It was
impossible that such inhuman language, to say
nothing of the resped and courtesy which all
liberal men are disposed to shew toward; the illus-
trious victims of adversity, could be acceptable to the
beads of Opposition, however anxious they may
naturally be to regain their posts, and therefore we
trust that the feelings of this generous Nation will
not again be shocked by expressions that could only
be expelled from the Regicides of France, at the most
dreadful period of their revolutionary chaos.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Duke of PORTLAND'S BOalingtOrl`
house, and continued sitting until six o'clock. •
Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses AU-
GUSTA and SOPH lA, accompaniei by Lady TH YNNE;
Count MUNSTER, General FITZROY, and Colonel
DESBROW, took their
.usual ride i❑ Windsor Pak,
and returned to the Palace at noon.

Lord COLLINGWOOD, we learn, by letters from
his fleet, is coming home soon. We-regret to add,
he is at present in a very ill state of health. He has
been out more than five years, without once setting
foot on shore. His Lordship has accumulated an
in;tut-nse fortune—it is said upwards of 200,0001.
in prize-money. Sir J. T. DUCKWORTH is named
as his successor.

The Aancy, BRUCE, from Malta, is arrived, after
heating off a French privateer, off the Eddystone, on
the 4th inst.

Three London colliers were captured off the Spurn
on Friday last.

From Rio Janeiro we have received letters of so
recent a date as the 3d ultimo. The French frigate
which is said to hare artived there with overtures of
peace from BtioNAPARTE, was originally destined for
Guadaloupe ; but finding that isl.ind blockaded by a
British squadron, she proceeded to Rio Janeiro,
adopting the expedient of assuming this diplomatic
charader to the Prince REGENT, in order to prevent
her falling into the hands of her enemies. This ar-
tifice has been unsuccessful, and, as we are informed,
she has been seized as 11tvful prize.
The arsenal of Ferrol is, as far as beauty and con-
venience-ican make it, mo,t complete, and defended
by a single-tier battery of 120 pieces of cannon, of
32 pounders. The store-houses are capacous and
well fitted; the basin is extensive and land-locked,
with slips for thirteen sail of the line, but there are
two only now on the stocks, where they have been
seasoning for nearly ten years.
MR. GREVILLE.-Yesterday, as this gr..rtleman
who is so well known in the fashionable circles, as
Proprietor of Argyle-street Rooms, was driving along
Grosvenor-place, he met with a serious accident
near Buckingham-gate. He went out about three
o'clock, in a new curricle, with a new horse, and
a new servant, who drove him. As he approached
Buckingham-gate, the horse ran away, and one of
the wheels of the curricle coming in collision with a
rising ground, the vehicle was .-upset, and Mr. Gre-
vine and his servant were both thrown out. Mr.
Grevilie was actually pitched into the air, as if shot
from a gun, and thrown upon his head, in which
part he received great injury, the crown being much
cut, and a very severe contusion on the back of the
head. Some gentlemen, who witnessed the acci-
dent, immediately ran up to his assistance, and con-
veyed him to the 3d Guards Hospital, in the neigh-
bourhood, from which he was shortly after carried
to Surgeon North's, in Lower Grosvenor-place,
where he remained last night. Mr. Grevilie had
been previously ill with a rheumatic gout in his
feet and hands. He was not, at a late hour last
night, in a state -to be removed to his house in
Argyle-street. The servant escaped with a very
slight hurt.
One of the richest lodes of copper that has been
seen for many years past, has just been discovered in
the neighbourhood of Padstow ; it is of fine grey,
are, three feet thick, and worth from 80 to 1001. a
fathom ; and is only 15feet below the surface, while
the levels are such as .to admit, with ease, of an edit
at 40 fathoms. Rocks of grey ore are to be seen on
the spot, of 2 cwt. each, and worth 401. per ton.

SIR,

Herewith I inclose, for the information of the
Leas Commissioners of the Admiralty, a letter
from Capt. Marshall, of his Majesty's sloop Lynx,
detailing the particulars of Ow capture of three of
the enemy's lugger privateers, by the Monkey gun.
brit, and the boats of that sloop, in which great
praise is due to Lieutenant Fitzgerald, commanding
the Monkey, for his judicious maniigoment of-that
vessel, as also to Lieutenant Kelly, and the officers
and men employed in the boats of the Lynx.
I have the honour to be, &c.

SIR,

His Majesty's Sloop Lynx, off
Dais Head, Aug. 13, 18n9.

I have the honour to inform you, that yester-
day, on my way to resume my station, his Majes-
ty's gun-brig Monkey in company, (after leaving
the Melpornene's convoy) I saw a lugger to the.
S. E. to which I gave chace, and on standing in
shore discovered two others, who immediately
weighed and anchored within the reef off Dais
Head, where the other joined them, and drew up in.
a line, hoisting Danish colours, the larger one with
springs on her cable. The water being too shoal to
enable the Lynx to get within gun-shot of them, at
four P. M. I ordered Lieutenant Fitzgerald, in the
Monkey, with the boats of the Lynx under Lieu-
tenant Kelly, first of the sloop, to attack them.
On the approach of the brig, the luggers, opened
their fire on her, which was not returned till she
anchored about half-gun-shot from them, (just at
which time she took the ground, but was got off
without damage), and aftet two. broadsides, the.
luggers cut their cables and ran on shore, where they
attempted to scuttle them k but by the weli-direeted.
fire of the carronade ip the launch, they were in-
stantly driven out of them, boarded, and their own
guns turned on them before they were enabled to
do them much injury, and by five o'clock this morn-
ing the whole were afloat again. The enemy once
or twice attempted to annoy our people with mus-
ketry, but they were ifistantly dispersed by the ma•
rives of the Lynx.

To Lieutenant Fitzgerald, of . the Monkey, great
credit is due for his conducting the brig through a
very intricate channel, with the wind on shore, and
for the very judicious manner in which she was\
placed.- To Lieutenant Kelly, and the officers and
men in the Lynx's boats, great credit is due; and
it gives me particular satisfaction in adding, this lit-
tle piece of service has been performed willow a
single man being hurt on our part. Before the
Danes quitted the largest lugger, they placed a
cask of powder clo,e to the fire-place, wish tho
evident intention of blowing the vessel u:), and as
it was not discovered till some time after she was
taken, the escape was most providential : this dis"
graceful mode of warfare should be known, to uO
guarded against.

I have the honour to be, &c.
J. W. MARSHALL.

DOVER, SEPT. 12.—The Enemy's privateers wet°
so daring this morning, that they captured thres
brigs and a ship, the former supposed to be trans
.
ports, the latter an American, which they carried cifl
in triumph. Two sloops of war, lying in the roads'
gave chace, but, I am sorry to say, without succe-s"
as the former were seen to enter Calais, and the 131'
ter Boulogne. Kid it not been for the men of war
going after them so promptly, in all probability
many other ships then passing by this place Would.
have shared a similar fate.

On Monday the Officers of the garrison of Dqver
gave a Concert, at the Assembly Rooms at that
place, for the laudable purpose of contributing t0"-
wards the Fund for the Relief of the Widows and
Children of the Non-Conitnissioned Officers and
soldiers who so nobly fell in the late actions in Spain
and holland. We are happy to state that it was
fully attended, upwards of 501. having been colleet"

that this lamlahle example may be genOally fb./-
