UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK, DEC. 4.---We are certain, that SCMO

important change is in agitation, but we do not pre-
tend to know its extent. We believe, however,
that the report of the Committee of Foreign Rela-
tions, a sketch of which we give this day, is very
from conveying. the sense or feelings of the honour-
able reporters, or their superiors. Their policy
may be good, and we hope good way come out of
evil.

Yesterthy, in consequence of an order from Go-
vernment, the specie that had• been shipped in the
Hornet tor the purchase of French Goods, was re-

landed.

We learn, by the brig Champ/in, in seven days
from Savannah, that about 50 of the French priva-
teersmen'who had been lodged in the Savannah jail,
had been- released, and sailed in a schooner for
Charleston, in company with the Champlin,—lt
appears that these men, having been enlisted ar
Charleston for the two Fieoel) privateers lately burnt
at Savannah, had so recently arrived froth that Place,
that they had not yet gone on board the privateers,
and were not, dire'clly, engaged in the fracas that oc-
curred between the Ameriatif.-searnea and French
.privateersmen. On this account they were rele.abea,
and had gone back to Charleston.
By the Triton, trom Calcutta, we have received a
Oarnptilet, containing the new commercial regula-
tions, by which it appeals, that all foreign shpt,
froth the 30th of May last, have' to pay double
duties on their imports and exports. The export
duty on piece goods, is 7i per cent—ard ihe dulls
on imports, from 10 to 20 per cent. according to the
articles.

The last National Intelligencer contains the fol-
lowing article, which appeals to have been clielated
by no less 2 person than the PRESIDEN7 himself, if
not written with his own hand :

We. have seen with no less surprise than .
con-
cern, an attempt in a Baltimore Federal Paper, to
make an impression that, while a tone of great de-
cision is assumed in the Message to Congress, and its
all the public acts of the Government, a .secret sup-
plication was intended to be made to Cleat B,
by a communication which, was to be forwarded to
that country by the Hornet. Nothing is more re-
mote from the fact -than such an insinuation. We
.
are confident that all the acts of Guveiument ate
in 'strict unison ; and' that the instructions winch
may be given to cur Ministers 'abroad, will corms-
pond in every circumstance with the tone- assumed
in the Message tc Congress.
"It is known that the- Hornet is now ready to
take dispatches to our Ministers in Europe, particu-
larly to these in Fiance and England, audit is e.N.,
pecred that she will sail in a lew days. The ;mi.
Lade taken by the Government is of a character not
to be mistaken, and there is every teasoo to believe
that it is one .whic!t the Cungress will maintain and
the nation approve.-
GAURIEL DUVAL, Esq. the present Comptroller a

SAvANNAU, - Nov. B.—La Vengeance and La
Franchise, Frenci: privateers were burnt in this port
on the 15th inst. As this transaction will undoubt.
edly excite considerable interest throughout the
United States, we present to our readers as corre& a
narrative as we believe can be obtaineJ, of the ca►ases
which led to it.

POLICE,.

MANSION HOOSE.—Charlotte Magnay, the wo-
man in whose possession young Dellow was found
at Gosport, arrived in town yesterday morning,
and was brought up for examination in custody of
Win. Barber, the Bridewell-keeper of Gosport, who
stated, that in consequence of his having seen
some hand-bills delivered about Portsmouth and
G,sport, advertising a child lost in London, giving
a description of the child, and offering a reward for
its restoration, he made inquiiies,andin consequence
was informed, that there was such a child at the
house of a woman in Gosport, which there was
strong reason for believing out to be her own. He
went accordirtily to the residence of the prisoner,
and inquired if she had not a child :ibout three years
old. She answered, that she had. He then asked
her if that child was het own. She answered in the
affirmative. He then cautioned her to be correct in
her answers, as he had reason to believe it vas not.
She replied by --icknowledging the child was not her
own ; and said she had found it in the streets in
London, sell had br tught.it home with 11A- ; that
she had taken every possible care of it, and had
bought it a quantity of clothes. He desired to see
the child. S,,e brought it out of bed to him, and
shewed him the clothes she had purchased for it.
He found ihechild answeri..g to the description in
the handbill ; it was clean and comfortable, and
seemed to have been well taken. care of. He told
the prisoner she must come with him before a Ma-
gistrate, and-bring the child ; to which she most
readily consented ; and in consequence of the Ma-
gistrate's order, the child wrs brought up to town,
and restored to it parents.. The prisoner's d•seliing,
he said, was 1-1,4 t and coinloi iable, and fit for any
respectable tradesmen.

Mrs. Dellow; the child's mothei, attended with
the little fellow in her alms, and the hat and feather
on, which were describLd iu the forni,r ; rosecution
to have been bo;;At for hiFn by MN. Russel, the
person then alleged to It ,ve taken him away, who
was tried at the last Old Bailey Session for the sup-
pose.; offence.
The: LORD IViATOR- asked tier if any part of • the
clothes in which the chit I cunt, back to, her, was
the s—ne he bad on when taken away. Site an-
swered in the negative,
His Ldich.nip t' Lit asked the prisoner, if she
wished i.) say any thing in h-r defence.
She re ;lied, that sh,, had no unorero say than to
acknowledge she had taken the child from a little
girl in the street, • had bought for him sonic ca,kcs,
had brought him home with her, and had taken the
greatest care ut him ever ..ince.
The LORD I‘,l/omit then 'emanded her, tube
again brought up on Mo•lclay : but at the same
time desired she ought remain in the Mansion
House, until the crowd, assetnbled uti the outside,
should disperse.

The Banker's Clerk, apprehended. on We'cinei.
day evening, for embezzling 14001. the property of
his employers unclerwviit a priva'e exacninalion
before the Loup MAYoa, and was renlanded for a
further examinatiou.

Ihrtobr-HALL.—Thomas Ifs/cite, a man in sailor's
apparel, was charged on suip,eion of being one of
the persona concerned in the late atrocious murders
in ilatclitf-highway: •

His accuser was a goal-porter, named Harding,
who stated, that on Thursday evening, he went into
the Blue Pump public-house, in tiie Borough, to get
a.pint of beer, when he saw the prisoner sitting in
the tap-rourn ; there was something singular in his
appearance, which excited his curiosity, and he en-
deavoured to enter into conversation with him, by
asking him if he was a sailor. The prisoner denied
that he was, saying he• had never in.his lift: been
uelow the Nore. .There was a woman in company
with him, who, on hearing the witness ask this
question, applied a very disgraceful epithet to him,
asking what buswess it was of his ; accusing hitt at
the same tittle sit wanting to make a property of
the prisoner. White, after this c;uversation, ap-
peared very restless and uneasy, which increased the
witness's suspicions, who at last [old him that he
very much resembled the description given by
Tuner of the person he saw on the night of Wil-
liainson's murder ; to which the prisoner confessed
that he was there, and ul;on this acknowledgment,
the witness thought it his duty to give him in
charge.

Tire account which the prisoner gave of himselt
was as follows ;—He had been a seaman in his
Majesty's service for 20 years, and having been
wounded, was discharged, with a pension ; he had
since been a voyage to India, and vi•as.again entered
on borrd t:ie Cuffmis Last Indiaman,. now lying at
the Note; be came to town on Thursday morn-
ing, for the purpose of getting his impress money,
and 'intended to go to Greenwich yesterday to re-
ceive his pension ; he had accordingly engaged a
bed at the publie-house, whete,he was, in company
with a female, when. Harding entered, who pro-
posed to him to toss for some liquor, which he
declined. Harding accused linnof being concerned
in the murders ; upon Which be said, " It you
think so, yuu had better
.detaiu rue;"- but he never
acknowledged being one of the murderers, as Hard-
ing had stated.

Several persons, prest.nt in the tap-room, bore
testimony -to the truth of this statement, upon
which the Magistrate discharged him, obicrrjog,
tixrc was no fulludation lur the charge.
