AMERICA.

By the Robert Burgs American Cartel, or ac-
cording to other letters the Fair American, which
reached Liverpool on Wednesday, from New York,
after an astonishingly quick passage of only eighteen
days, we have received New York Papers announcing
the nomination of Messrs. CLAY and RUSSET, to join
Messers. BAYARD and ADAMS, as Ministers to treat at
Gottenburgh with Great Britain.

Mr. JEF;RIES, of Edinburgh, has returned by the
Robert Burns to this country with his newly married
spouse.

By the above vessel we learn that the American
frigate President, Commodore Roam, is still roving
about. Some time ago he fell in with the 36 gun
British frigate ORPHEUS, which he contrived to rake
twice, killing 62 of her brave crew. She endeavoured
to keep him engaged until her consort,-a 74 gun ship,
copld come to her assistance, but as soon as equal
force began to make its appearance, Mr. ROGERS, as
usual, took to his heels, and got clear off.
Some of the New York papers state boldly that,
from the known character of Messrs. CLAY and
•Rvssst,, it is apparent that Mr. Mantsos is not serious
in his desire for Peace.
The Speech of the Governor of Massachuset's, at
the opening of the House of Representatives of that
State, is decidedly pacific towards Great Britain, and
baldly censures the American Government.
A great outcry has been milled in all the maritime
States against MAblsow, by the general embargo.
The PRESIDENT'S party 111,-.Congress is still so
- powerful, that a Motion to print the Correspondence
with France, has been negatived by a great majority.
Congress has also negatived several Motions brought
forward to repeal or modify the Embargo.

The Americans have published some correspon-
dence intercepted in Canada, with a view to shew
how much alarm at one time prevailed among the
British Officers there for the safety of that Province,
—The publication of these documents can have no
other effect than to heighten the magnitude of the
recent services performed to their country by the
British Heroes in Canada.

•We are unable to confirm or contradict the report
received yesterday froM Bristol, on the subject of the
fresh laurels achieved by Lord WELLINGTON'S army.
No acenunts more recent in date than the 23d ult.
are in Town direct from head-quarters.
A letter from Ustaritz, of the date of the 23d
ultimo, states, that the army was getting ready for
a start, and that in a few days the supplies would
be arranged for that purpose. It was rep orted
at the outposts, that SOULTIS army had not heard
from Paris since the 11 th ; also that three divi-
sions had left him for some other service, it was
supposed for Lyons, in which direction, it was under-
stood the Austrians were advancing. Our heavy ca-
valry still continued on the Ebro, but Don CARLOS'S
division of Spanish troops had been brought up so the
St. Juan de Luz river.

Yesterday the Princess of WALES took an airing in
Hyde Park, in an open carriage, accompanied by a
Lady in Waiting.
It gives us pleasure to have it in our power to con-
tradict the report which appeared in a Morning Paper
respecting a principal Actress of the Theatre Royal,
Covent-Garden. On enquiry, the report alluded to
has been proved to be a malicious falsehood.
In the Coup of King's Bench, on Thursday, upon
the motion of Mr. Scam-rt.?, a rule was granted,
calling upon JACOB PRESTON, Esq. Mayor of the 80.
rough of Great Yarmouth, in the County of Norfolk,
to sbew by what authority he claims to be Mayor of
that Borough.
