MISCLLLANEOUS.

We understand that the space between St.
Clements and the New Church in the Strand has
been recommended as a fit place for the New
Post Office. The situation is centrical, and near
the Offices of Government. The scite would
comprise Holywell-street, Wych-street, and
Lion's Inn, and the opening would be a com-
plete sequel to the great improvements about
at Temple Bar.

By some American Papers to the 22d of Oc-
tober, it api)ears that Mr. MADISON has entirely
f'iled in, his attempt to stem the tide of public in-
dignation by the publication- of the Correspond-
'euce relative to the Negociation whilst the Nogo-
ciatinn was going on. _Macy of the leading Mem-
bers, both of the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives, are more disposed towards him On
account of this very publication. They say, that
it justifies them. in accusing him of wishing the
failure of the Negotiation : nor indeed is the opi-
nion that the terms we demanded were inadmissi-
ble so universal as it was at first desrribed to be by
the friends to Msnison in America and Europe.

important by this opportunity.

by the English Government in the nomination of
Catholic Bishops.
