AMERICA.

We have received New-York and ether American
to the 14th ult.—The temporary ferment
excited by the intelligence brought from this country
by the Pacifit, has in part subsided, and the language
of the American Journalists towards Great Britain
is at least teniperate, it not friendly. Trade has be-
rm to revive in New York, and many vessels were
loading for Europe. The American sloop of war
Enterprize has been ordered to sail for the Texel,

where she is to be stationed, for the purpose of infor-
ring American vessels at what ports of Holland cr
the North of Euvepe they may land their cargoes
in safety. Nothing was known at New York at
the date of these papers respecting the disposition
of the American Government, in consequence of the 1
dispatches brought by the Pacific. The appointment
of the Entcrprize for the Texel was, however, consi-
dered as auguring an acquiescence in the late mea-
:ute4 of the British Government respecting neutrals.

Utters from Rotterdam, of the 13th instant, men-
tinn, that General ARMSTRONG, on the part of the Go-
"eminent of the United States, had arranged with the
Ministers at Paris, a Commercial Treaty, the coOdi-
tions of which were all agreed and determined ; and
it remained only for the ratification of the Ruler of
France and the American President. The letter adds, '
that one of the duplicates had been forwarded to lklit-
TOLEON for his approbation and signature.
It will be recollected that the Edict of BONAPARTZ
'rnitibits any American vessel from entering the ports
3f Holland which has either been received into a Bri.
ash harbour or has spoken with a British ship. The
iettcrs to which we have just referred notice that this
cider is pat in ((tee with the utmost rigour, and that
!..f. matters of the Republican vessels are ordered to
5i 7,n au instrument, declaring 'that they have cow-
p.ad with this mandate.

THE GRAND EXPEDITION.

It is now reported thar the whole,. which, with some
troops expected from Ireland, will exceed 45,000 meh
in the different quarters.
It is generally understood, that one or the first ob-
jects of the Expedition will be a descent on the island
of Walcheren.

" CHATHAM, JULY 16.

" Yesterday, the Guards were to have embarked; the flat-
bottomed boats were all in readiness for the purpose, and the
men under arms in the barracks, expecting every minute the
word to be given for marching to the dock-yard, instead of
which they were all suddenly dismissed ; the boats were consider-
ed as insufficient for the purpose, and the embarkation was de-
layed to this day, which commenced about two o'clock, and was
entirely completed about three. The men went off in the highest
spirits, cheering as they left the wharf, and the band on shore
playing in excellent stile—" GOD save the King!"—" Britons,
strike home !" &c. The vessels went off with a fine wind, and
they were all soon cut of sight.

" Several of the workmen of the yard were sent for to-day to
get mat of store, masts, sails, &c. to send immediately toSheerness,
the Namur, the guard-ship there, being ordered away on the Ex-
pedition. The Nereus has her sails bent, and wilt go dawn to-
morrow ; every exertion is also making to get away the Active.

" DOVER, JULY is.

" One transport only now remains here ; she is intended to
receive on boat,' a cargo of the Congreve Rocket% and wilt accom-
pany the GI at.d Expedition."
" DEAL, JULY te.
" The Light Brigade of the King's German Legion is not yet
embarked, there being no ships fur them. Deal is in great bustle ;
Reserve expected to ail to-night ; Lord CINATHAM not yet came,
though expected."

" RAMSGATE, JULY 16.

" Since my last several horse-ships have come into this harbour.
Yesterday morning, orders came to the General commanding here,
the Marqu's of Hosrrzey, to commence embarkation at R arm-
gate immediately, and consequently the following regiments em-
barked yesterday, viz e—
" The 6th regiment Ist battalion. commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel WADE, upwards of 900 strong; 50th ditto, Colonel
WA [JEER, about 1 Oen ; 91st Highlanders, (from Margate, 2f.c.)
Lieutenant• Colonel DOUGLAS, POO.

" These gallant fellows marched on the Pier in great spirits,
cheering as they passed, and also after they had got onboard their
respective vessels. Early this morning the transports with the
above regiments sailed for the Downs, where they will remain
until joined by the other regiments.

4. This morning the 38th regiment Ist battalion arrived here
from Deal, and immediately embarked, and sailed for the Downs.
The embarkation of the above regiment was done in a very little
time; the transports had been very judiciously placed, and so
arranged by the harbour-master, Mr. FrNMOar, whose zeal in
the service has been long conspicuous, that the men easily got on
board, and left the harbour at one o'clock this morning, vs itlo.ut
the slightest accident.
" RAMSGATE, JULY 18, 4 c:Cluck, P. M.

" PArt of a detachment of the Waggon Train, are at Oda
moment embarking, but it is too late fn ro to obtain the pa. ti-
tulars of each ship, as they have just begun to move on board
the 12th Light Dragoons are to embark to-morrow, and one
Troop of Waggon Train is expected from Canterbury to club
bark with them. No ships have arrived to-day."
" NORTHFLE ET, JULY 17.

" About seven hundred of the Royal 'Waggon Corpa have em-
barked from hence, with their horses, on board transports, and
sailed this day for the Nore, to join the first division of the eapedi•
tints.

" Colonel WOOD, having four companies of the Royal Artil-
lery und^r his command, embarked this morning, at Gravesend,
on board transports, and immediately sailed for the Note.

" Transports are continually passing from Deptford and Wool-
wich, with ammunition and stores for the same place."
" HARWICH, JULY is.

" The whole Transports at this place still remain waiting
orders. A frigate i; exi•ected to take the Staff Officers on board
to-morrow, when the whole fleet will most likely proceed."

" PORTSMOUTH, JULY IS.

We are very sorry to hear that there are some hindrances
which wlll delay the Expedition for several days more—they are
said to be in the Medical and Corqmissariat departments. There
is no want of either of these corps, if we may judge by the rum-
ber of Gentlemen who are attached to these department'. con-
stantly in the street'. The ordnance, and every thirg relating to
it, was complete, and on board several days ago. The Navy have
done thtir duty, as every body acknowledges.

" We heir that Sir EIRE and Lady COOTE are going for a
little time to the isle of Wight.
rd PAGET is arrived, and General Gowen is expected.—
General GROSVENOR, who was expected, does set come here, it
appears."

hays, one of the grandest spectacles the mind can eosesive, se thr
eye ever witnessed.
" The naval part of this' expedition is enormotis. It consists
of thirty-six sail ache line, and ninety-five sail of frigates, sloops,
gun brigs, and 'bomb and fire vessels ; besides upwards of 200
sail of gun boats, Which hive been fitted up with a carronade for
the purpose. Sir R. S nen can s: is the senior Admiral yet ap-
pointed to command the naval force, with Admiral; OTIVAT and
Lord Coaimett.
" The object of this immense armament, now that all commu-
nication with the Continent is prevented, may without impro-
priety be mentioned, and although we cannot speak to a certainty,
yet from the nature of the prepar.vions there is scarcea loubt of
its destination. The naval part of the armament sac. takulated,
next to covering the descent of the troops on the Wand of Wal-
cheren, for an attack by sea on Flush'ug, which, fronetthe fire of
thirty men of war, aided by biter:es on the land side, must fall.
—Having thus secured a place of arms, it is supposed that the
troops will be re-embarked and landed on the Continent, and
march by the banks of the Scheid to Antwerp, while the nume-
rous flotilla of frigates, gun-boats, fit e-vessels, &c. will force its
way up the River. The object in this case will be the de-
struction of the enemy's shipping, of which there are eight sail
of the line, besides numerous smaller vessels, in the dock-yarc's
at that place; independently of the diversion this may occasion
in favour of Austria.
" 'What the ulterior progress of the armament stay be, will
probably depend on the coarse of events; but with such a force
as at least 30,000 men, a subsequent attack on Boulogne., by tra-
versing the Netherlands and entering France on that side, while
the lieet covers the coast, may be in the scale cf probability; and
frenfllise great number of pontoons attached to the ordnance
branch, it is evident that the scene of action will be in a country
intersected by ditches. There are also stronger circumstances
which justify the above statements :—ln the general orders issued
by the Earl of Cu oTnom, which are extremely able and persri-
cootie, it is stated that the officers of the Commissariat deter-
, morn are to give receipts of a peculiar form to the Chief Magic-
trate or Burromarter of the different towns, &c. from whence
they may have occasion to make requisitions, but that no requ;7
sitions are to be made but such as are required for the public ser-
vice, as the troops will be ordered to pay with money for girl
provisions they may want, which shall not he supplied by the
Commissariat; and should any officer make any requisition from
the inhabitants, and give a receipt on the Commissary, such re-
ceipt is to be duly discharged, and the officer giving the same,
will he required to make it good, besides being made subject to j
cersere for clisobed:rece of orders.

" Five tons of specie, consisting of Si •f silver, and 1 of
gold, We-e vscortecl to Ramsgate by a party of the Life Guards,
on Sunday !ay., in order to be shipped there to accompany the
expediria.:."

Upwards of GO men of the corps of gunner-drivers,
and 100 horses, left Hull last week fur Woolwich.
We understand they are to form a part of one of the
expeditions now fitting out.
In consequence of. an intimation given by Lord
Isluhottavc to the Commander of the River I'cncibles,
a muster of that body tool: pLce yesterday, whenl
near 300 of them volunteered their services *upon the
expedition now departing. The Fencibles of Dept-
ford and Greenwich have also made a tender of their
seryices, which has peen accepted. The same bounty
of 50s. as well at the same allowances which were
granted to this valuable body of men for their services
at Copenhagen, is to be granted them on the present
occasion.

The Embargo is enforced with the greatest strictness i
at all the regular out-ports, and it certainly was the
intention of Government, that from no creek what-'
ever should vessels be permitted to put to sea) till the
object of the embargo had been attained. But we
must remark that there have been some omissions.--*
Thus at Lyme a strict Embargo has been enforced,
extending even to fishing Lows, while at Bere, an ex-
tensive fishing-place only seven miles distant, upwards
of 20 sail of smacks, and other boats, are allowed to
stand off six or seven miles to sea, without interrup-
tion. As this cannot have been the intention of Go-
vernment, we trust that those iti whose department
it may lie, will apply a remedy.
A letter received in Glasgow from Jamaica, dated
3d June, says, " An expedition of 1400 men sails to-
morrow morning, under the command of our Lieute-
nant Governor, for the reduction of St. Domingo ; it
is thought it will not hold out long."
Liuetenant-General Sir GEORGE NUGENT has been
appointed to the command of the Kent District, in the
room of Lieutenant-General Sir Join HOPE.
The 2d West-York Militia marched on Saturday
last, from Brabourn Lees for Chatham barracks, to
supply the place of the brigade of Guards, which has
been embarked on the expedition. .
Monday se'nnight, the 31 regiment of 11li3-Lothi an
Loot! Militia cempleted their pet manent duty of 14
I days. They are a fine to of men, and very expert
1 in their exercise and evolittions.
On the 2Stla ult. the Peebles-shire local militia,
commanded by the Right Honourable Colonel Lord
ELMANK, assembled at Peebles for '3B days training,
i when every man of the regiment was present. except
two who were drilling in other counties. The con-
duct of the regiment has been highly creditable, or-
derly, and correct ; and the Magistrates and inhabi-
i tnnts of Peebles have done every thing in their power
to make the quarters of the corps comfortable. .

FOOT RAC E.—Another match is made for 1000
guineas, between JoNEs. who performed a wonderful
match against WILLIAMS, on the Hereford Road, and
a person of the name of EDWARDS. The match is
eight miles, and is to take place at Newmarket on the
21st of August. The winner is backed to go the dis-
tance in 45 minutes.
A Gentleman of the name of Howe started on Sa-
turday morning at Cliff Common, Somersetshire, to
do the_Bar lay match of 1000 miles in a thousand

the minor, Peter Horrocks, at Mr. Eisdale's, in
aker•eitreet, but, on the cor.trary, had remonstrated
against them ; that he ILK; nevei formed nny concert.
ed scheme with his dauglaer or Mr. Eisciale to facili-
tate the intercourse between the parries; that as far
as language could go he had done ev'ry thing in his
;power to prevent the visits of Peter Horrocks at his
own house ; and that he never had encouraged the
connection in any way, nor wits at all desirous that it
should be kept up. He further stated, that his site.
. ation was very unpleasant, inasmuch as his daughter,
now only eighteen years of age, whose affections had
been engaged, was e)nstantly liable to all the horrors
of a prison, in case the minor, who had every opportu.
pity of visiting the neighbourhood of Goring,.should
be enabled to have an interview with her.
Sir S. ROMILLY said, that this affidavit was open to
