MR. RUSSELL TO MR. HAMILTON.

DEAR SIR;—.I have learnt with much regret
and disappohTtnient, that Lord Castlereagh has
directed you to inform me, that it is not in hii
power to give an immediate answer to the last
letters which I have had the honour to address
to him. The object of those letters was of a na-
ture ;o require an early clec'.sion. Reluctant,
however, by- any precipitancy . on my part, to.
protract the present . unhappy relations between
the two countries, I ':Jeg you to aequainthis Lord
ship that I shall remain in tow!; until Sunday (the
20th inst.), when, unless some special and satis-
factory reason be assigned for a longer delay, I
shall consider it to be' my duty to, proceed to Ply-
mouth to embark for the United States,
I am, dear Sir, :

with great truth and respect,
your obedient servant,
(Signed) JONATItAN RUSSELL.

N. B. Sent at 3 o'clock.

LORD CASTLEREAGH TO MR. RUSSELL.

Foreign Office, Sept. IStb, iSI2

S/R-Under the exnlanatiOns you have afford-
ed' me of the nature of the instructions which
you have received from your Government, I haw?,
as on the preceding occasion, been induced to lay
your letter, of the 12th instant, before his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent.-

His Royal Highness commands me to express
to you his regret that he cannot perceive any sub-
stantial difference between the proposition for a
suspension of hostilities •which you are now .di
rected to make, and that which was Contained
in your letter of the 24th of August last. The
form of the proposed arran.gement, it is true,
is
different ; but it only appears to aim at execut-
ing the same purpose in a more covert, and, there-
fore, in a more objectionable manner.
You are now directed to require., as prelimi-
nary to' a .suspension of hostilities, a clear and
distinct understanding, without, however, requir-
ing it to be formal on all the points referred to in
your former proposition. It is obvious that, were
this proposal acceded to, the disCussion on the se-
veral points must substantially precede the under-
standing required.

-This course of proceeding, as bearing on the
face of it a character of disguise, is not only felt
to be in principle inadmissible, but as unlikely to
lead in practice to any advantageous result ;as it Resnlved,—That a Committee be appointed td,
does not appear on the important subject of in bring in a bill vesting the powers of rttaliation in
pressment that you arc either authorised to pro- certain cases in the President of the United'StateF,-
pose any specific plan, with reference to which i The House resolved itself into a Committee of
the suspension of that practice could be made a I the whole, Mr. NELSON in the Chair, on the
• i • .-
subject of deliberation, or that you have received I Bill for continuing the Mint ;. 'which was gone
any instructions for the guidance of your con- through, reported to the House, and ordered to
some duct on of the leading principles, which
be engrossed for a third.reading. And the•Housu
such a discussion must in the first instance 1 adio„ri„d t,. Monday.
involve. .
'I ....--..—.. '

Under these circumstances the Prince Regent
sincerely laments, that he does not feel himself
enabled to depart from the decision, which I was
directed to convey to you in my letter of the
instant.

The ship Rose was driven nn. shore on ii,,lanteso
Bay, Jamdica, during the gale on the 13th of Oc-
toiler, but it was expected.would he got off.
Five" basking sharks were last week seen oil
Brighton. A whale was seen between that place
an d' Newhaven .

I have the honour to be, Sir,
• yoUr_triost obedient Servant,

CORN-EXCHANGE, DEC. 30.—We had but fell
fresh arrivals to-day ; the Market was, in gener,A
very dull ; Wheat was heavy at Mondav's prices
superior qualities only of grain we.re ls. per guar
ter dearer.
