The following article is extracted frOm.a Morn-
ing Paper : " A report of livery singular nature has
been communicatedlo us, which we in like man-
ner- communicate to the. public, but without in
any degree pledging oUrselveS for its truth. The
statement is this ----.that very recently, a -.)linister
of State wnited on an illustrious
..Vemale, and
after expressing how much he felt at being the
bearer of thelnessage be was about to communi-
cate to her, proceeded to inform her, that he
came, by coipmand of her husband, to state to
her, that he thought her visits to the issue of their
marriage were too •frequent„ and to request they
might. be less so in future, and not too long at
one time. The illustrious mother then called one of
'her attendants into the room, who at her request,
wrote Own the substanbe of the message, which
was read to the bearer thereof, and acknowledged
by him to be correct. The attendant then, 'by
his Mistress's desire, signed the paper ; after
wbie,h, the Minister of State, on the same request,
also signed it." .
The new Pantomime of Jack and, Jill, or The
apwn's Disasters, wam repeated last night, at the,
Lyceum, and fully confirmed in public favour.
It is indeed so good a Pantomime, that though
it is peculiarly fit forthe holiday, folks, at Christ-
mas, it is capable of affording great amusement at
any time. .

The new Drury-lane Theatre is wider in the
stage by ten 'feet than that at Covent-Garden.---A
canopy, it seems, is .to be over the Ores--boxes to
prevent any annoyance from the upper regions.
But perhaps John Bull may not approve of this
skreen, as he is fond of seeingfine sights.
We are sorry to announce the stoppage of ano-
ther Banking House, yesterday morning—the
parties concerned in which,. are also extensively
interested- in. some ' branches of Foreigri'Com-
merce. A hope is confidently expressed, that the
suspension of-payment will not be perthanent.
The headless body Of a female was
,found last
Tuesday, in Tory-hill bog, in the county of Kil-
kenny, covered with turf. AbOut ten days be,

with long yellow locks, lying in -a field, but his
story was discredited. Much inquiry .and 'exa-
mination is
_going on, • but" all endeavours to

It-will appear from the above statement, which
is undoubtedly correct, that if the members pre--
sent front the states north of• the*Delaware, had
voted against war, the Bill could not have passed-.
—The number of Members who votc.l for the
Bill north of Pennylvania is 185 add this to 49,
and it makes G7—subtract it from 79 audit Nljies
: so that if this war is finally commenced.l
war which is to ruin the commercial States, the
Northern people may-blame their own represert-
tatives for the calamity. We are happy, however,
to have it in our power to state that but three of .
the Representatives from this State were so logt,
to the feelings of humanity and the,interests
their constituents, as to vote for the measure.--
The names of those three men we shall put upoll•
record, that they may be avoided at another'elec-
tion : they are, Sage, Pond, and Avery.

ON THE ORDERS IN COUNCIL..

MR. FOSTER TO MR. MONROE.

" SIR,

" Washiagtwi, June '4,, 1312.

." Since I had the honour of seeing you at
your Office, yesterday, I liave perceived an article
,in the public prints, stated to be extra..3ted front
an English newspaper, and purporting to be an
official declaration 'of his' Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, that the Orders in Council wia
be, and are, absolutely revoked, from, the period
when the Berlin and Milan Decrees shall, by
some authentic act of
,the French -Government,
publicly promulgated, be expressly and uncondi—
. tionally repealed. A considerable time has elapsed
since, by order of my Government, I had the
honour of urging to you the expediency of procur-
ing such an authentic act froth the French Govern"
ment, and 'in all probability the above declara-
tion may haveheen issued in the confident expect'
4tion,
,that the Government of the United States
would have been able to, produce it ere this.

At all
_events, Sir, considering the important
nature. of the above-mentioned article, and the
probability, that I shall have soon to be the orf,-;an
of sonie official communieationta the American
Governtnent.in relation to it; I cannot but trust,
that no measure will, meanwhile, be adopted bf
the Congress; wlaieh would defeat The endeavour
