Mr. 111AINTZ, the Austrian messenger, left London

yesterday morning on his return to France. He pas.
sec.! through Canterbury in the afternoon on his way
to Dover, where a Flag of Truce had been for some
time in readiness to carry him over.—lt is thought
possible that he may return to this country in about
ten days: if not, it is expected that the Secretary to the
Austrian Embassy, now here, will proceed to Paris.
The Secretary to the American Minister also left
town yesterday for Dover. Orders reached that port
yesterday morning to have a vessel in readiness to
cl'.rry him to Calais or Boulogne.

Ey an American vessel, the HARDWARE, arrived
:,t Liverpool, New York Papers to the 17th ultimo
have been received; from which it would appear,
that the Negotiation between Mr. JACKSON and the
American Government has received some interrup-
tion, or been entirely broken off.—On this subject, a
New York Paper of the 16th says :

44 By the Philadelphia Stage, which arrived at tight last night,
we obtain the following important information :—The Negotia-
tions between our Government and the British *Minister, (Mr.
lackiun), are entirely broken off."

The correspondence which led to this unfortunate
result is not given in the Newspaper alluded to, but
th. Editor expected to receive it next day.

Letters from Liverpool state, that Mr. MADISON
having, in the course of an interview with Mr. JACK-
sex, made use of some expressions, conceived by the
l:qter to be derogatory to the character and honour
el this country, he retorted, and required an expla.
nation ; a-nd that the President refused this satisfac-
t;on, and in tlle conclusion told the British Minister,
that if he ‘VOre disgusted at what had passed, he was
at liberty to take his departure from the Republican
territories ; t) which proposal a ready consent wits
ven by Mr. JACKSON.

Letters from New-Vark give the story a different
complexion. According to them the British Mini-
ster, in a conference with the American Secretary,
had remarked that the latter, though !tetrad seen the
instructions of Mr. ERSKINE, had made an arrange-
ment with that Gentleman inconsistent with the,
orders received from his Court, Mr. Surru's reply
evaded any answer to the allegation; that the instruc-
tions and the arrangement were contradictory; he
simply remarked, that he had not seen, and in the
ordinary course of his diplomatic duties could not
ye seen the m4ndate under which Mr. TusioNa:
Thus the Matter was pissed by for some

•
time, until the slibjeet was again resumed, when Mr.
JactcsoN repeated his assertion, that Mr. SMITH had
been apprized of the instructions to his predecessor.
The renovation of this offensive business led to a con-
sultation in the American Cabinet, which terminated
in the notice to the British Minister, that if his So-
vereign were desirous of any conciliatory negociation
with the United States, it must be proposed by same
other person less obnoxious.
Such are the rumours. They produced a consi-
derable effect at Liverpool, where large purchases
of cotton were made.

Letters from Tarragona of the 15th ult. from Car- I
thagena of the 25th, and from Gibraltar of the 6th
inst. arrived yesterday. They all speak of the con-
sternation and dismay produced throughout Spain
by the unlooked-for submission of Austria. The
accounts from Murcia describe the inhabitants of
that Province to be in such a state of alarm, in
consequence of the discomfiture of the Spaniards,
on the Plains of Ocana, that all business was sus-
pended, from this cause, at the port from which the
letters ate dated. The Supreme Junta was very un.
popular in that part of the country. The accounts
from Gibraltar state, that the residents in that for.
tress were consoling themselves with hopes that the
army of La Mancha would again re-assemble be-
neath the frowning summit of the Morena, and afford
protection to the Southern division of the Peninsula,
A Spanish paper, speaking of the peace with Austria,
says Spaniards, abandoned by all the earth, can
securely depend upon the exertion of their own valour.
Let them die (say they) a thousand deaths—let them
expose their country to become one vast desart, rather
than consent to be the slaves of the most detestable
tyrant that PROVIDENCE has permitted to thin the
ranks, and destroy the happiness of mankind !"

A Gottenburgh Mail, which arrived this morning,
brings the following intelligence :

ST. PETERSBURGH, NOV. 22.

In the night between the Ist and 2d instant (old
style), the bridge over the Neva was carried away
by the floating ice ; the communica4ion was broken
off till the 7th, since when the ice has become filed,
and can be passed without danger. At Cronstadt
there are upwards of 140 merchant vessels, bound to
different neutral ports, frozen in. It is not yet
known whether it will be possible to remove them
through the ice into the open sea, some worsts beyond
Cronstadt. The troops who return from Finland are
successively arriving. No recent accounts from our
army in Moldavia have been published.

SCHAFHAUSEN, WOV. C 7.

The marching of the division of La Grange into
this city and district has, as may easily he conceived,
excited a strong sensation. Another corps of troops
is spoken of which will enter the Lesser Cantons.

ELSINEUR, NOV. so.

A ship laden with coffee, sugar, and other Colonial
produce, which had been sent" to Wismar by a foreign
vessel, was lately confiscated in that place, because
it was ascertained that the pretended Danish ship's
papers, produced by the master, were 1141se, and had
been fabricated in England.
