AMERICAN STATES.

The Windsor Castle packet has arrived at Fal_
mouth, from New-York and Halifax, after a passage
of 19 days from the latter, and SI days from the
lamer. Mr. JACKSON arrived at Washington, the
scat of Government, on the 17th alt.• and had been
farourably received. He has already had several in-
terviews with the American Secretary of State, but
not official, his introduction to the President being in
po'nt of etiquette, necessary previous to entering on
formal negociations.

The President was at his country seat in Virginia,
and wls not expected atWashington until the meeting
of Congress, is November, so that no adjustment
betwenn the British Minister and the American Go-
vanment could be expected until that period.

By the above opportunity we have received Ame-
rican Papers to the 19th ult. They state that on
Mr. JACKSON'S arrival at New York he wrote a letter
13 the American Secretary of State, announcing
Li. intention of arriving at the seat of Government
•iie next day, and that he would improve the first
..pportanity of requesting an interview. &c. The
I):traciEvr, (7he Washissgtose Public Advertiser says),
rot expected until the last of this or the begin-
.ring of next month. Several seamen had already de-
-;:rted from the AFIUCAINE, which had caused some
thturbance. These papers say, " that a Court Mar-
!,ll is sitting at Halifax, on a number of mutineers of
the British government brig Columbine.—lt was said
:hey had determined to murder the. commander
',C.iptain HILL), and run the brig into New York,
ilicre they were so foolish as to expect protection."
AFRICAISE, with Mr. JACKSON and family on
b,,ard, arrived at Norfolk, in Virginia, on the 29th
(if August. Mr. Jactraom was officially received at
as the successor to Mr. Eitannut on the

REVOLUTION IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The SNAKE packet, Captain ToosersoN, has arri-
.ed at Falmouth from the Brazils, after a passage of
70 days. She brings mails and passengers from Rl°
aneiro.

It was confidently- reported at Rio. Janeiro, when
the SNAKE came away, that a Revlution had bro.
.!.:rt out at Buenos Ayres, the people having unani-
nxucly declared themselies an independent. nation.
—As a consequence of this bold:measure they had
ezi)elled the new Governor sent from Spain, and his
..iherents, and we are sorry to add, that the English
Laving falle7l under suspicion, were also ordered to
the South Amerkan territories, which have thus
en cicclared independent.
Lvirces and his family were daily:expected at Rio
'neito, whtte a peat quantity of dollars and other
-,117- tiles had arrived on his account. It would seen',

therefore, as if this celebrated character had thought
it wise to withdraw with as much property as possible,
to avoid the impending tempest.
To the list of eight sail of the line, and the LOIRE
frigate, destined for the Black Sea, to co-operate with
the 1 u. ks against the Russians, as given in the STAR,
on Thursday, is to be added, the CENTAUR, 74 guns.
This squadron is to be under the command of that
gallant and experienced officer, Sir SAMUEL HOOD.—
The squadron is fitting out in consequence of prmis-
sion having been obtained by Mr. ADAIR, our Am-
bassador at Constantinople, for a strong naval force
to proceed through the Dardanelles and the Bos-
phorus.

The most recent accounts from the Tagus are to
the Sd instant.—The head-quarters of the British
Army were still at Badajos. The troops had been
rather sickly, but were recovering fast. When the
27th regiment, which were on their march, should
join, the effective British force, under Lord WELLING.
TON, would not be much less than 30.000 men. His
Lordship was hourly expected at Lisbon, to take his
seat as Head of the Regency. From the last ac-
counts of the French army, Marshal SGULT was at
Placencia ; Marshal NET, at Salamanca ; and Mar-
shal VICTOR, at Talavera de la Reyna. The British
ships of war in the Tagus were—BaRLFEUR, 98, Vice-
Admiral BERKELEY, Capt. Sir T. HARDY ; TRIUMPII,
74, Capt. Liszse ; NORGE, 74, Capt. RAINIER ; ZEA-
Lois, 74, Capt. Boys; Jasper and Growler brigs. The
Semiramis, Captain GRANGER, had sailed for Oporto;
and the Dotterell for Ireland. The Portuguese have
fitted out the following ships, which are ready for
sea :—Queen and Maria, 74's ; Amazon and Pearl,
frigates ; Hare, Rcryamin and Serpent sloops ; and
four store-ships. There wer.. two sail of the line,
and two frigates not fit for sea. Several large ships
were loaded and lading for the Brazils. Captain .L
HALSTEAD, and Captain SULLIVAN, of the transport
service, have returned to England, leaving Lieut.
FLEET WOOD in charge of the remainining transports
in the Tagus • which, after the next convoy had sailed,
would not exceed SO sail ; consequently, it was not
considered necessary that any officer above the rank
of Lieutenant should remain there in that employ.—
The next division would be ready to sill on the 10th
instant.

The long expected alliance betwen the Duke of
DEVONSHIRE and Lady ELIZABETH FORSTER took
place on Thursday last, at Burlington-house, Chiswick.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. PRIDDY,
Chaplain to his Grace, in the presence only of two
Gentlemen from Doctors' Commons. Owing to a
blunder committed by a person who was sent express,
in a post-chaise and four, for certain necessary docu-
ments, the marriage ceremony was delayed until mid.
night. The intentions of the parties were kept so secret,
that no branch of the House of Cavendish was prepared
for the event. Expresses were sent off on the following
day on different routes. Yesterday arrived in town
Lord and Lady MORPETH, Countess of BEA3OROUGH,
&c. Lord and Lady GEORGE C IYENDISH are expected
this day. Lady ELIZABETH FORSTER was the widow
of the Hon. JOHN FORSTER, of the ilhistriousliouse
of FERRARD, who were descendants from the Earls
of ULSTER.

The Marquis of SALISBURY intends giving a superb
entertainment on Wednesday next, to all the neigh-
bouring Nobility and Gentry, at his country seat.
Tuesday last the Oxford_ troop of Yeomanry Ca-
valry, commanded by the Hon. I'. PARKER, were in-
spected in Port Meadow, by Colonel AUBREY.
Monday last the Oxford regiment of Volunteer In-
fantry, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel CURSON, com-
menced their five days duty for this month ; on Tues-
day they were inspected by Colonel AUBREY ; and on
Friday:. letter from Colonel KANE was read on their
parade, thanking the Officers, Non-commissioned
Officers, and privates, for their uniform steady and
soldier-like behaviour, during the time he had been
Inspecting Field Officer of the district.

Wednesday the Bullingdon troop of Yeomanry
Cavalry were inspected, on Bullingdon-green, by
Colonel AUBREY. The troop will dine together on
Wednesday next, at the White Hart, Dorchester.
Some accoants have been received from Ceylon,
which state, that the dissensions among the natives
had subsided ; and that a number of the weaker
party had been sold, together with their families to
the piratical states of Borneo. The King of Candy
has made some new military regulations, which pro-
mise to be of public utility. It is said that some
French Agents, from the Isle of Bourbon, have lately
been on a secret mission to that Court ; but that the
King had dismissed them, with a declaration that he
was determined not to extend his foreign connexions.
The discipline and good conduct of the British troops
on this island, are spoken of in the highest terms of
approbation by the Governor—mutual confidence is
restored between the English and the natives on the
frontiers and the commercial communications are
open and unint:rrupted.
Saturday, a boy about nine years of age, carrying
a hat-box from a manufacturer to a customer in the
neighbourhood of B'oomsbary-square, was accosted
by a man carrying a box covered with baize, who
asked him to carry it for him to No. 33, in the same
square, and he would hold his'hat-box, enjoining him
at the same time to deliver it safely, as it contained
valuable property, the boy did so, but it proved to
be empty, and on returning for his box, the sharper
had of course decamped.

Saturday night as Mr. Peters, of Saffron-hill, was
going through the Minories, he was hustled by three
fellows, who robbed him of his watch and a book
containing £lO in Bank notes, with which they made
their escape.
