The aeeounts from the United Steck trougilt by
the Princess Mary froth New York, are now known
to be of a less decisive 'character than was reported
yesterday morning. The dispatches received by Go
vernment on this occasion are, however, believed to
be important, as it is-evident that a great change of
sentiment !'as taken place in America respecting the
conduct of the belligerents.
At the time at which the Princess Mary sailed, it
was reported at New York, that the dispatches sent
by her materially affected the interests both of the
Most Excellent Sir—Your Excellency's express of Republic and Great Britain, and that the Congress

We have this morning receiied some additional
Lerman Papers to the 25th ultimo. They contain
an account of another action on the coast of Sicily be-
tween the Italian and English gun-boats, in which the
former are said to have been, as usual, victorious.

Yesterday being the Princess AMELIA'S birth-day,
it was kept at Windsor by their MAJESTIES and Royal
Family ; all the Royal Brothers arrived there to con-
gratulate her Royal Highness on the day. Her Royal
Highness is a little better. The Prince of WALrhs,
Dukes of YORK, CLARENCE, SUSS=, KENT, CAM-
BRIDGE, and CUMBERLAND, visited her ; also her Royal
Sisters, Princesses SOPHIA, AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH,
and MART. - - -

Several sail of the line have been ordered to be im-
mediately fitted out at Plymouth, to reinforce our
fleet off the Texel, the naval preparations of the
enemy in that harbour being carried on with so much
activity, and on a scale of such magnitude, as to
demand serious attention. It is probable that orders.
similar to those received at Plymouth have been trans-
mitted to the other Dock-Yards. On Monday night
the press-gangs were extremely active in Plymouth-
dock, and picked up a number of idlers, who may be
rendered extremely useful.
Yesterday a Deputation of Merchants waited on
the Board of Trade, for the purpose of learning the
determination of Goverment respecting various re-
presentations that had been made to k on the subject
of a commercial intercourse with France. In the li-
cences, under the sanction of which the very limited
trade with that country has been for some time car-
ried on, the importation of wines and brandies has
been totally prohibited. Government, however, has
professed a disposition to relax in some degree, the
severity of this regulation. It was yesterday notified
to the above-mentioned Deputation, that the mer-

chants would be allowed to trade with France upon
the following conditions :
That if France would agree to admit. one-third of.
the tonnage of vessels from England in colonial pro-
duce, British manufactures, or East India goods, Go-
vernment would permit such British vessels to import
one-third of their return cargoes in wine, (brandies
are prohibited as before) and the remainder in grain,
flour, &c.
Ministers, it is understood, have had no communica-
tion whatever on this subject with the French Govern-
ment. The merit of the plan and suggestion rests
entirely with the Merchants ; who are certainly en-
titled to great praise, if they can carry it into effect.
Such an arrangement appears to offer great and mu-
tual advantages to both countries ; but we have our
doubts whether Napoleon will so far depart from his
system of commercial annoyance as to consent to it.
He would have no objection, perhaps, to lighten the
pressure on the trade of France, but he cannot bear
that England should participate in the benefit.
