By the American vessels which we yesterday men-
tioned to have arrived, we have received the con-
cluding part of the Correspondence between Messrs.
JACKSON and Sinn, relative to the disputes between
the two countries.

The same papers contain also the correspondence
relative to the disputes existing between the United
States and France ; but these, being comparatively
uninteresting to tEe British public, we defer publish-
ing till Monday, that room may be afforded for the
documents relative to this country :—and for the same
reason we defer till our next the conclusion of Lord
Miw'ro's letter to Sir G. H. BARLOW, promised for
this day.
By the private letters it appears that, as soon as it
was publicly known that all communication with Mr.,
.Taccsos; was closed, the greatest consternation. took
place among commercial men. Every exertion was
made to get vessels to sea, as a new embargo was
expected to take place as soon as the Committee
should have made their Report on the President's
Message, and the documents with which it was ac-
companied. The powers vested in the Committee.
are defined in a Resolution of Congress which we
have given in a short Report of the Sitting of the
39th Novcmber.
