We are sorry at the same time to understand, that
Mn Tatcuutrou's mission to Stockholm is not likely
to be attended with the desired success. This failure
is the consequence of reArsing subsidies, till something
more than promises evince the sincerity of the par-
tial solielsing them. We think the members entitled
to praise for their prudent precaution after the many
disappointments they Dave experienced on former
occasions, by placing too much confidence in the
parties with whom they were entering into alliance.

LONDON.

We yesterdiy noticed the arrtbal of a vessel from
America, with intelligence from that interesting
gnarter to the 18th April.; and we have this morn-
ing been favoured, through the 'kindness of a friend
at Liverpool, with sets Of Papen, brought by the
above vessel.
Every article contained in the American Papers,
both fed:ral and democratic, tends to confirm the
Idea repeatedly held out in our columns, that there
will•be sio way. Im fact, Commissioners, to arrange
the basis of a permanent and friendly treaty between
the'tWo Connuies, may be daily expected in Lon,.
don. tke mean time, the Non-importation Act
will 'certainly be partially repealed..—The British

'4‘ NATIONAL- INTELLICENCEit, APRIL it.,
I" The Bill for admission of goods belonging to
American Cithens, which were purchased prior to
February 1811, was under consideration yesterday
it is due, however, to our mercantile friends to inti-
mate to them, that this vote is by no means decisive
In favour of the Bill ; and to caution theln against
being too sanguine in their expbctitions of its pas-
tage ; should no'cliange 'take place in the present state

adjournment of Congre's's to the 20th June, has been
propostd by Mr. Bibel., and it it ptobable *ill be ac.
ceded to.n

Nothing definitive has yet been settled in the affair
of the new ministerial arrangements, and we can
therefore state nailing but rumours. It is now said
that Marquis WELLEsur and Mr. CANNIWG have
most decidedly refused, in writing, to join the pre-
sent Ministers ; the terms upon which they were to
enter office, namely, the abandonment of their opi-
nions on the subject of the Catholic claims, being
such as they could not reconcile to their sense of
public duty.

In this ease Lord LIVERPOOL will be First Lord
of the Treasury, and of course Premier. The Chan-
cellorship of the Exchequer has been ascribed by ru-
mour, successively to Mr. VANSITTART, Mr. HES.
KISg6N, Mr. CHARLES LONG, and Mr. BRAGGE BA-

the House of Commons.

Ottier accouats state, and (for the sake of the
country and•the popularity of his colleagues, we trust
they have more probability on their side) that the
Noble Lord intends to repose himself, after all his
toils, under the shelter of a peerage. Should his
Lordship finally retire from public life, therefore, it
is probable that Mr. CANING will come into office.
With respect to Marquis WELLULEY'S recent re-
signation from office, the causes which led to it are
amply detailed in the following demi-Official statement
