NEw YORK, AUG. 2.—Mr. Coles, the Meszenger
to France, in the Syren, pased through this-city
yesterday morning., on his wa.yr,o the city,pf Wash-.
ington. The Celerity with which Mr. Coles tra-
velled, .has led to the.opinion that he it the bearer of
important dispatches froth. France.. Added to this,
we understand that at the time of liis 'departure fOr
France, it was hi's intention, in case the
.state of:Our
affairs would perthit, to remain in that country two
or three years. His sudden return, therefore, does
not augur favourably to the hopes of a.good under-
standing with the French Government. Several
late letters concur in alluding to the probability:of
Mr. Armstrong's speedy return honie. .:Every 'infer-
matibn from France increases in hostility to this
country. A recent letter from Paris positively states
that Mr. Armstrong's luggage was a ottrally shipped
on board the Mentor, and that he wag to embark
immediately. The French Government, .it is said,
Will give facility and safely to our commerce on no
Other terms than our withdrawing froth all connec-
tion with Great Britain. The American property in
France, it is apprehended, will be sacrificed the
moment Mr. Armstrong withdraws from the coun-
try. To what a deplorable, humiliating condition
are we reduced ! At the approaching meeting of
the Heads of Departments, it will fortunately hap-
pen that the Cabinet is in possession of very late dis-
patches from France as well as England. They will
be presented with a whole view of thk.., existing state
of our foreign relations.

NEW YORK, AUG. 3.—The Mayor of this City
-has issued a Proclamation, interdicting, under heavy
penalties, intercourse with the inhabitants of B rack-
lyn, on account 'Of the prevalence there of a pesti-
lential or infe63ions disease.

'Mr. Erskine, the British Minister, arrived at
WaShington on Friday last.
The Syren, Captain Gordon, which btought Mr.
Coles, the Messenger, sailed from L'Orietit the 14th
June. The dispatches from Mr. Armstrong are said
to be of an unfavourable nature.

-There is some doubt of Mr. Jackson's meeting
with a welcome reception at Washington. It is
said that Buonaparte, suspeeting Mr Jackson to. have
been concerned in a conspiracy against him, gave
notice to the Powers of Europe some years since,
that he should consider the acknowledgement of
that Gentleman in a diplomatic chara&er, as a de-
claration of war against him; and it would seem
this is' now thrown ont to deter the President from
receiving the new Minister. Trusting to the pro-
verbial politeness of Mr. Madison, we are confident
that even if Mr. Jackson presents himself in a ques-
tionable shape, he will speak to him.
NEW YORK, JULY 29.—Christophe, the Presi-
dent of Hayti, on the Ist of July issued a General
Order, in which he details a vietory he had obtained
about the middle of June, over the army of his
competitor, who had assembled the whole of his
disposable force before Maribas. General David
Trois, who commanded the troops of Petion, was
Icilled in the engagement. Petion himself narrowly
escaped.

(FROM THE NEW-YORK JOURNAL.)
" The mask is now off, and every silly expecta-
tion of redress from British Justice is defeated. No
more do we hear it urged, that Mr. Jeffersan could
have settled amicably trine mouths ago. The dupes
who gave into this dodrine now perceive they are
entrapped, and acknowledge :that perfidy which we .
have so long and so' unavailingly predided., But
months, perhaps years, of embarrassment must atone
lor'their credulity and precipitation. Britain is now
supplied---she is no longer dependent—her hungry
traffic, once destitute of the, means of support, and
her extended navy, once in want of stores, has now
a temporary supply.
Will we indulge a hope, from the unanimity
which seems to prevail, that there ate yet measures
of vengeance in store for us that may reach the vitals
of the common enemy of mankind? Every eye that
we meet is marked with contrition, or glistens with
resentment. England is apparently without an ad-
vocate. There are indeed those who lisp something
like palliation for her conduct. The Editor of the
Evening Post, who has for sonie years been. the con-
stant and unceasing 'apologist for England, has al=
ready laboured through three long E4Says, under the
title .of " The case fairly and • &tinily COnsidered,"
to convince the nation, that if Mr. Erskine has ex-
ceeded his orders, the• Ministry of England are not
bound by his ads.
" There is scarce an ideot in creation, who would
for a moment believe that the British Ambassador
had surpassed his instructions. No, itt worse than
perfidy that can thus misrepresent it. He dared'
not contravene them ; be could not have miscon-
ceived them; the proposition was specific and defi-
nite—" Remove your Non-intercourse, and we will
remove our Orders in Council." This is a subjeEt
on which there can be no ambiguity ; it is clear and.,
distind as the sun at noon day. • Nay, Government,
it is said, have seen Mr. Erskine's instructions.--
Time after time, assurances have been given by that;
Minister, that his arrangements would be finally ad-
hered to, whatever might occur previous to their:
passage to England.• Can there be any doUbt of his
instructions, when, after promulgating the new Or-
ders in Council, issued in April, and which excited
a degree of alarm, Mr. Erskine still persisted in the
declaration, that the preliminary arrangement would'
be ratified when known?. Stupid, ignorant, or.
iniquitous must he be, who can answer affirmatively.
From the commencement of our controversy
with England, to the present moment, we have
been fixed in a belief,• that nothing but a stedfast
and vigorous opposition to her tyranny, by•
every Means of retaliation in our power, would in-
duce her to respect our rights.--Convinced of a
predetermined hostility to our ,commeree-of a ;
rooted enmity to our prosperity, growing out of our
revolutionary struggle—of her alarms-at ,our increas-
ing strength, which threatens, and will one day
overwhelm her northern colonies, we have not fail-
ed on every occasion to dire& the attention of the
people to each new outrage committed by her agents.
Because we have been thus sedulous in awakening a
just jealousy towards England, we have been charged
ny the minions of England with a predilection for
France, although in every remark relative to foreign
nations, we have preserved the most scrupulous.im-
partiality, except where the interest of our own
• country mingled in the discussion. W,e have .-Vith-
