Last night, Paris Papers.to the 25th inst. reached
The only article of any importance they cun-
t lin, is one which inspires us with a hope that an-
other engagement has taken place in the Mediterra-

to,vr

11i3:,.

The article to which we allude is dated from
Niinits, and states, that a heavy firing was heard
on the t3th ultimo, at Atuerncrtcs, which lasted
four hours. Our Readers will recolleet that it was
from Nismes that we first heard of our late success
in the.Mediterranear.

We are happy to have it in our power to contra-
did the report which appeared in some of the
Morning P,:pers respedin6 the loss of the Alexandria
frigate. That vessel is maw, and has been for some
time past, at Sheerness.

We this day submit to our readers a very import-
ant p trt of the correspondence which took place be-
tween Mr. JACKSON and Mr. SMITH. It appears
that we were perfectly accurate in the statement
.tvilich we made some time ago respecting the rup-
ture of the Negotiation. It arose from the.circurn-
stance of Mr. JACKSON having asserted that the
4.nerican Government was acquainted with Mr.
ERSKINE'S InstreEtions, and consequently knew that
I.e had not the power to conclude such an arrange.
client as he a&ually signed. We are strongly inclined
to think that the American Government were looking
for an opportunity of breaking off the Negotiation,
otherwise it would not have seized with so, much
avidity upon an expression which certainly did not
convey an untruth, and which we haVe no doubt
Mr. JACKSON was justified by the f#l, in using.--r
No argument, however, that we can use, can put
the cpiesti4n in .so clear a light as Mr. JACKSON'S
own Letters, particularly the one written on the
4th Nov. •to which therefore we beg to dire& the
particular attention of our Readers. They will no
doubt vite.v with patriotic pride the manly and Weld-
'lied languaee of Mr. JACKSON, as more strikingly.ob-
servable in the following passage, in answer to. the
pitiful cavils and narrow-minded policy of the Ame-
rican Miaisteee:— .
, Without minutely calculating (says he) what
may be the degree of pressure felt at Paris by the dif-
feti nce in the price of goods, whether landed at Ha-
vre or at Hatubargh, I will, in myeturn, appeal
to your judgment, Sir, whether it! bre. -not a strong
and solid rcason, worthy to gukle the councils of
a great and powerful Monarch, to set bounds
to that spirit of encroachment and uniVer'sal domi-
ron which would bend all things to its own stand-
ard ? IS it nothing, in the present state Of the world,
when the agents of France authoritatively announce
to their viEtirns, ". that Europe is submitting and
surrendering by degrees," that tee world should
know that there is a nation which, by that Pivne
goodness so strongly appealed to in 'the paper to
, •. _.6 • • '
I allude (..13G8RAU S Pfocjwiation to
the Cltalonians), is enabled to falsify the asserticre ?.
is it not important at such a moment; that Europe
and Ain'erica should he convinced, that, from what-,
c-.Yer countries koeourable and manly resistance may

have been banished, it will still bet found in the Sow:-
reign of the British nation, and in the hearts el his

• The Letter from Lord MINTO and the Council of
the Bengal Presidency to Sir GROAGE BARLOW, part
of which we inserted yesterday, is one of the most
able compositions of the kind that has ever been sub-
mitted to the Public. To say nothing of the very
elegant and expressive style in which it is written, a
consideration slight, indeed, compared with the
forcible arguments and constitutional truths with
which it abounds, it must be acknowledged that it
is so clear and forcible, as to bid, defiance to objec-
tion and cavil. It is deserving also of high com-
mendation for the prudence and liberality by which
it is characterized throughout. A clear line of dis-
tinaion is drawn between those unexperienced young
men, who cannot he supposed to be sufficiently ac-
quainted with mankind, and the duties of their pro,
fession, to be guarded against those praised vete-
rans who
_employ their experience in the world,
not for the promotion of the service, but the grati-
fication of self-interest, or views of private pique
and revenge. To the forioer description of persons
it may fairly be inferred, from the tenor of the Let-
ter, that all proper lenity will be shown, and the
sense of the dangers which they have escaped will
most probably operate upon their future condu&,
and induce them to render themselves as cenver-
santas possible with their professional duties, in or-
der to atone for, former errors. But the instigators
and promoters of the mutinous proceedings which
have drawn forth this masterly composition, will
doubtless meet the fate they deserve, and be wholly
discarded from a service upon which they have en-
deavoured to bring disgrace, at the hazard also of
essential injury to the State 'by which they were em-
ployed. It is not however for the temporary ap-
pliCation of the dOtarines and principles which the
Letter in question contains, that it is entitled to warm
commendation, as it is a comprehensive develope-
ment of the essential principles of military duty
which may be eminently useful at all times, and
therefore we trust that it will be widely circulated
among Military Officers, upon whom it cannot fail
to impress high notions of what is due to the service
in which they are engaged, and the country which,
by every consideration of honour, patriotism, and
interest, they are pledged to defend,

The Persian Ambassador 7-sstit:'r'ily paid a visit to
the Bank ; his ExcelL:]i.): wa.:,m.tended 6ir Gott
0& sELEY and On. alighting from
his carria2e, he was z -at the entrance in
Prince's-street, by'the G9vern, and Directors, and
escorted throu;n tie Hall, which was e-;vered with
a superb carpet, to (tie iwerior. Inc Kink Volun-
teers were drawn up in the Court, and saluted his
Excellency as he passed, thtir band performing
martial music. Ills Excellency Was conducted
through the various Offices by the Governors and
Directors, folloued by a numerous train of Ladies
and Gentlemen. The procession was proceeded by
six Beadles of the Bank with their silver-mounted
staves, in their proper costume. The two City
Marshals with a number of Peace Officers, attend-
ed to keep order, and prevent the obtrusion of the
crowd, who gained admittance, and nearly choaked
up the passages.' The whole routine of the Bank
business in the Various offices was explained to his
Excellency ash© passed, ancl with which he seemed-
highly gratified.
About two his Excellency, with his suite, enter-
ed the great parlour, where refreshments were pre-
pared for them in a very superb style. During this
entertainment the bud continued playing in the
court-yard, to which his Excellency seemed to at,
tend with great pleasure ; and at near four. be took
his departure, expressing his high satisfaction at the
polite hospitality he had experienced.
Thursday Prince STAHREMB ERG, accompanied by
his two Secretaries, Messrs. PROVOST and AGNEAU,
had a conference with the Marquis 'WELLESLEY and
the CHANCELLOR Cf the EXCHEQUER, at the Fo-
reign Office.
The Secretaries of the Austrian Ambassador left

bark for Calais.

The eagerness with which BUONAPARTE seeks to
centre in leis capital. all the finest productions of art
is well known, and, the following anecdote will fur-,
they exemplify it:---'. very fine painting", (the wo-
man taken in adultery) was taken frotn France during
the troubles of the Revolution, and was purchased
by,a gentleman in Kent for 20001. BUONAPARTS,
being desirous of making his
,colleaion complete,
sent an agent to this country with .direttions
to purchase the pie-lure, though it should cost
10,0001. The tempting offer made no impression-
on the Kentish Gentleman, who told the agent that.
he chose to keep the. painting. The agent returned'
to France, but soon came over again with almtht -
unlimited powers respecting the purchase; he wait-
ed again on the Kentish Gentleman, and grahally
increased his-otTer io 30,0001. without effeet: At
last the Frenchman offered 40,0001. adding " You
may naturally suppose thy employer is no common
purchaser; it is, indeed. no other than the Emperor
NAPOLEON."--" What !" exclaimed the Gentle-.
man, `• is it BUONAPARTE who wants to buy the.
picture ? Now, lam very glad you have told me so
much, for d-n me if he, shall have it for his
crown." The agent departed, wondering how a
man could refuse so much money.
Mr. CLIFFORD told the Company at the dinner.
on Thursday last, of the hateful political principles
and designs iroptued to him; but, in the warmth of
his eloquence, he 'whotiy foigot to disavow those
principles and designs, contenting himself with 'de-
