EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NEW YORK, DATED
FEB. 10, RECEIVED BY A MERCANTILE DOUSE

IN GLASGOW.
" The Trident having been detained by adverse
winch, 'll e have now to inform you, that intelligence
has this morning been received from Washington,
upon very resdectable sources, stating that an ar-
rangement has been co.?cluded bt-tween your Mi-
nister and our Government, anteing to form a
Treaty, to be th:;! same in substance as that nego-
e'ated some time past at London by Mr. Munroe,
the exception of the Appendix, on account of
which our Government then rejected it.
" We hope, and we have good grounds 10 belieye-
the report to be true in substance. To-morrow we
stall probably be better informed."
According to the Return made to the House of
Commens, the number of the whole Local Militia
force, enrolled and serving at the Lie period of .train-
:mg and exercise, was 10,189 serjeauts, 9995 corpo-
rals, .5237 drummers, 202,983 privates.
Fifty vacancies are reserved in the Royal Naval
Asylum, Greenwich, for the orphan sons of sea-
men who perished in the ships lost in the North
sea, and in the Sa/danha,l.vhich was recently wreck-
ed on the coast of Irelend.

The-Volage frigate, Capt. MACKAY, now at Ports-

the newly appointed Governor of that Settlement,
will go out in the Volage ; and she will take Gen.

Music. —The Hanover-square • Rooms were
crowded last night with a splendid audience to the
Fourth Subscription Concert of HARRISON, BAR.
TLEION, and GREATOREL We lament that we
have neither time nor space to render a full account
of this fine selection and adequate performance. It
contained the first act of HAYDN'S master-piece, the
Oratorio entitled Tice Creation, in which Mrs. LACY,
Messrs. HARRISON, BELLAMY, and EARTLEN/AN,
sang the solo parts in their best manner, and the
Grand Choruses produced gre it effect. Madame
CATALANI was received with vast applause, which
she repaid by tinging " Della tromba," the compo-
sition of Pucorn, in a style of elegance, power,
and expression, that captivated her hearers.—
WILBYE'S Madrigal, " Stay, Corydon," in six
parts, with a triple choir ; " Donald," harmenised
by Mr. GREATOREX and " Come live with me,"
by the worthy veteran WEBRE, were among the
favourite performances of the evening. Little KING
was much applauded in " Let me wander not un-
unseen," (HANDEL); and HARRISON and BARTLB-
MAN gave the Manuscript Duet of MOZART,
" Dove scorre," we may say, inimitably. It was
listened to with profound attention, and unanimous-
ly encored. The great Chorus, "He gave them
Hailstones for Rain," was also repeated. On the
whole, no performance this season has given more
satisfaction. Se‘eral Noble Directors of the An-
cient Music, and very many of the Nobility were
present.
A fracas happened on Wednesday
much
at the
Ancient Concert, which has excited much conver-
sation in the higher musical panics. It seems that
CATALAN' was to have sung very early in the first
act. but did not enter the orchestra till it was,
nearly ended. She was saluted by general marks of
diapprobatione and also from the Directors' box,
where were the PiIINCE REGENT, the Duke of
CUMBERLAND, the Archbishop of YORK, and the
Earls FORTESCUE and DARNLEY. CATALAN! im-
mediately retreated. Her husband expressed great
resentment, and some controversy took place be-
tween him and the Noble Directors. She went

through her part afierwards, but with great discom-
posure, and has since addressed a letter on the sub-
ject to the PRINrE REGENT, who teterred the rnat,!.

:er to the Noble Directors.

THE EARL OF UXIIIKDGE.—This Nobleman, who
had long been in a declining state of health, died
last night, at his house in Old Burlington-street.—
The death of this Nobleman was hastened by an un7
lucky event, u Melt happened a few days ago. Two
of his servants were helping him to walk from one
room to another, and one of them quitted his
Lordship's arm in order to shut the door ; the other
servant had not strength enough to sustain his mas-
ter-singly, and they both fell ; in consequence one
of the Noble Lord's tibs was broken, and• he .lin-
gered till 'yesterday, when lie was released from all
mortal sufferance. His Lordship, was born June 18,
1744, -and married, April 11,.1767, JANE, eldest
daughter of ARTHUR CAMPUGNE, Dean of Clon-
rnacrois, iit Ireland. He is succeeded in his titles
and honours by his eldest son, HENRY WILLIAM,
Lord PAGET.
