us ; a few weeks will determine what degree. of
success, if any, attends his transatlantic negocia-
tions. We believe a Special Messenger is expect-
ed from Madrid, and confirmed Peace, or a Breeze
of War, may follow his arrival. Spain complains
We have not..donesufficient to restrain privateers,
or to prevent aid going from the United States to
her revolted Subjects.
In this posture of the relations of the two
countries, it is not probable our Government has
taken any step that has an unfavourable bearing

upon it.
ST. NI A v's, SEPT. 30.—The Spaniards have
probably relinquished their attempts to repossess
Amelia, for their militia have returned home.

(From the New York Evening Post of the 6th Oct)

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. MARY'S, DATED
THE 20TH ULT.

" The Spanish force have made their appear-
ance once more on Amelia, to attack the place ;
hut disappeared almost as soon—the guns of the
Patriots were too heavy for them. I am afraid
►he province is gone for ever from the Spaniards.

" Commodore AURY arrived on the 17th inst.
with a ship and brig (prizes), filled with sugar
and coffee. Another ship has just arrived, said
to be loaded with dry goods, wine, &c.—A great
deal of property, sugar, &c. hare arrived here from
Amelia, and been-entered. nave seen some goods
bought bere at half their cost in Europe."

A retort is in circulation, which we believe to
be premature, that Daniel D. Tompkins, Vice-
President of the United States, is appointed Col-
lector of this port, in the place of Davi,d Gelston,
Esq. _ . _

(Front the sane Paper, Oct: 3.)

The City Council of Savannah have removed the
quarantine, which the Mayor of that city lately
imposed upon vessels coming from Charleston and
the West India Islands, where the yellow fever
prevails. Indeed, after being well inoculated, it
seems little better than absurd to continue to qua-
rantine Charleston, especially as the learned Phy-
sicians of both places continue to resolve, in spite
of experience, that the disease is 710 i contagious.
The board of health at Charleston, (South
Carolina) reports 69 deaths, from the 14th to the
2lst of September. Of this number 35 died of
yellow fever.

A letter from Savannah represents that place as
being perfectly restored to health !

Letters from Montreal, of the 22d ult. state,
that the frost had began very early this season,
but the Corn was so far advanced that it had re-
ceived no essential injury.
Large quantities of specie still continue to ar-
rive in the United States ; almot every vessel
from England brings more or less of this valuable
produce.

We have bad occasion to style The British Press
a legitimate Opposition Paper in contradiction to
one which affects to be the leading Print of its
Party, but which its former Party must now spurn
:. with contempt, if that Party are real friends to the
sound Constitutional doctrines of THE WHIGS
of former times. Au Evening Paper we find,
Which has long possessed the character of being
pre-eminently Ministerial, started a subject re-
lative to the Royal Family on Monday- -night,
• which was eagerly seized upon by The Morn-
, Eng Chronicle of yesterday. We treated the in-
troduction of such a topic at the present mo-
ment as most indecently premature, even ad-
-1 Miffing that it might become the subject of ulte-
rior consideration. We declared also, and we
repeat the declaration, that no Member of the pre-
sent Government would suggest or sanction a
topic leading to discussions of the most delicate
l-and important nature, while the country is in-
volved in distress and misery, under the most la-'
mentable deprivation by which it ever was visited.
We inferred, therefore, that people might begin
to doubt- whether an exclusive share of Mini-
sterial confidence was really possessed by a Paper
which could thus obtrude a subject which must be
-an outrage upon the feelings of the Royal Family,
and from which Ministers must revolt with disgust.
'But though we commend The' British,. Press as a
I,
`Paper of Opposition, and not of Jacobinism, and
are gratified in finding that it joins .with us in re-
' probating the introduction of the topic in ques-
tion ; we are obliged to charge it with misrepre-
sentation, when it says this day that THE SUN
" accuses the Opposition Papers of having com-
menced the topic." THE SUN did no such-thing.
It censured The Morning Chronicle for having
adopted the topic from the Evening Paper of the
night before; and, on the contrary, censured that
Evening Paper, generally deemed ministerial, for
having originally obtruded a subject so repugnant
to the national feelings at present, and which,
instead of being approved by Ministers, must have
excited their must decided disapprobation.

We are sick of the contemptible whining, and
absurd falsehoods, of The Morning Chronicleon the
subject of OLIVER, and we doubt not that the
