NEW YORK; Nov. 25.—in. the circular publish-
ed by this man; he lamely attempts to extenuate his
conduet, by saying; that he Meant " to give no of-
fence."
If he did not, why did he reiterate the
scandalous falsehood, and twice, in, a. deliberately
written .note, repeat the offence ? h appears evi-
dent :hat he was sent here for the special pur-
pose of idoing what be hds Haccdmpliebed ; to
widen-, instead of healing, the breach between
the:. two cOuntries. His Master, Canning, in-
strueted him :to blacken the fair fame of his
worthy predecessor ; and, if possible •to roll
the 104, of: infamy from oft ;the shoulder, of,,,the
British Cabinet on the head of Mr/.. Erskine, 'in -or-
der to enacle. them to support, ,a little longer, their
totterin ppularity. In this attempt he has com-
pletely, faikd ; for Mr. Erskine, has furnished the
Seeretarrof State with documents, to prove that he
was warranted to propose and conclude the arrange-
t'etent which took i)Llce in April. These documents
will, next week, be laid before Congress, and will
convince theivorld of the duplicity of George Can-
ning,atad the impertinence of F. J: Jackson.

MESSRSDI/NBANI AND HAWKINS—On the 17th
A done last,:i took my departure from -Block Island,
bound to St. Bart's, .We were steering-E.B,E, and
a southerly 'wind was blowing, very hrisk ; the sky
was cloudy and squally, accompanied with rain,
sharp lighttung, loud thunder, and -rough sea: At
-three days,' sail from. Bleck latanc, in Lat. 30:
ion. 70. 25. W. At eleven on.clock at night, a sharp
and tanceitnnion noise was beard astern of the vessel,
resembling somewhat the report of a piito!, at two
distinct and .ciiliert tit times. A 'few minutes after
this noise, the. Clouds .separated over,bead,. in the
shape of afrig rainbow, and at that moment a stone
fell on ouT deck, And at the same time a large quantity
fell in the water and r our' lee, at the 4-listarice I
should judge of a6out twelve feet. Ju about five or
six seconds atterwards, the fog rainbow descended
the horizon. I suppose, from the quantity that
fell in the water, that had they fallen on boatd,
should. have suffered material\lhit3ry. Thu -§tone
thaufell upon the neck I have preserved; it -weighs
above Six ounces, is of the colour of iron, -ind ap...
pears to be impregnated- with. copper. Whether
this stone was drawn up by a water-spout, which.
• bin a little astern of as, I leave fol, Others to judge.
The.weattier still continued very thick and cloudy,
attended With rain; sharp lightning, :heavy thunder,
and a. rough sea. The stone may be seen and ex,

osity, by c.allitT at the residence e±. the subscriber,
