The failure of the negoclation for the return
of Mr. Parr and Lord Matvit.ta into power'
has given rife to many very contradietory ru.
mours : moil of them, however, may be eafily
traced to party bias, and, from their complexion,
their particular parents may be afcertained without
much difficulty.
According to one party, the queflion was re-
♦uced to a conteß, whether Mr. PITT or Mr. An.
Distoros should be Prime Miniller ?—and Mr.
SHERIDAN was to be Secretary at War (why not a
Treafurer of fome kind ?) Mr. Yor.R was going to
Madrid, and Lord Mote♦ and Mr. Thaws, were
on the point of taking refponfible fittiations.—
What a hodge podge of incongruities ? and what
a pity that any quarrel fhould have hindered Mr.
SHER In/Ws advarcement!

Another report is, that in the fcramble fur
power Mr. Pirr wi(hed to bring in the Casa-
vusts, but Mr. ADOINGTON WOUld not confent—
Mr. ADDINGTON malted to bring in Lord Ross.
LYN, and Mt. PITT would not confent ; and hence
it is inferred, that Mr. PITT will now cipoufe the
politics of the Gas Nytt.t.e party. We flail loon
fee what truth there is in this inference, for Parlia-
ment meets this evening, and parties mtal fpeedily
arrange themfelves in fome way or other.
A third flatement is, that 4, Mr. PITT, upon
being applied to, declined entering into any details
upon the general lubjeft of arrangement, unlefs he
Mould be called upon by the highell authority;
but declared his opinion, that fhould he be called
upon, he fhould feel it his duty, under the prefent
circumftances of the country, to propofe the for-
mation of an Adminiftration upon an enlarged
fcale."—No one can millake whci are here intend.
ed, but why no names? becaufe the pliant reporters
had got fome new reafon for avoiding the epithet
blood houndt employed a few days ago ; and they
now " regret that arl eirtinwiente fhould deprive
the Nation of the Cervices of fo eminent a man, as
Mr. PITT, at fuch a time."
The Pimple matter of fah is, that Lard Mai.-
TILLS has failed in fome part of his calculation.
Thofe who know him bet, however, know that
this will not difcourage him fiom repeating the
attempt. He has the Were of bu canary too much
at kart to relax in his exertions to fcrve it.

We have receive.' American Papers to the r6th
of March.
A Letter of the riSth of jannary, from New
Orleans, bad brought information of the arrival of
the feh,)oner Adventure at that port with difpatehes
from the American Government to the Spanills
IntLn.la.it, and of its having again failed within a
very few hours, with anferen to thole difpatches.
The atawcrs were not ttt►derßood to have been fa-

"burgle. The Fivueb bad not at.that time taken '
r thud poffeMon of New Orleans.
The American Congrefs adjourned, Jar Le, on
the 3d of March la(!, after adopting, in regard to
Louifiana and New Orleans, the propofitioas of
Mr. Baacaswasnosj by which meafures of pre-
paration for hoftaity are indeed ordered, but the
Prefident Is left to att at his oirn difcretion in the
whole affair. Eighty thoufand of the Militia of
the SLIM are to be immediately detached to aft as
a general army, if it &all be necelfary to attack
the poffeffions of Louifiana. One million five
hundred thoufand dollars arc appropriated for the
expenditure of this fervice, 25,000 dollars are ap
propriated for the eflabli(hment of arfenals on the
Weftern Waters. A very firong remonftrance
was tranfmitted to Mr. Davis, at Warrington,
from the State of Kentucky ; but it was not re-
ceived till after Mr. BRACE EN BR IDG l'S propofitions
had been adopted, otherwife the bolder propofi-
tions of Mr. SMITH would, it was thought, have
been preferred, It is underftood, that an Agent
from the people of the two Floridas had waited
on Mr. JEFFszsots, with full powers to treat for an
acceffion of chore provinces to the American Union.
They threatened, it is laid, if JEFFERSON fhould
refufe their offers, to put themfelves under the
protection of Great Britain. The inhabitants of
Kentucky, in expedation that the Congrefs would
refolve on immediate hoftilitics with Spain, had
taken anus to the number of to,ooo. Above
5c,000 dollars bad been contributed, by voluntary
fubfcription, for the neceffary expense. They bad
encamped. Boys appeared in the camp with labels
in their hats, War, and no Dantraes. Mr. Jantaa-
son, in great alarm, wrote to foothe their impa-
tience, till the iffue of the Negociation by Mr.
Mosta° s might be finally known. It was under-
flood that the fortifications of New Orleans were'
in a ruinous, indefenfible (late, and that goon
men from Kentucky might eafily take the place.
—The total value of the commodities which the
Anglo Americans fend annually down the Mal:
fippi, exceeds 4,ooo,ooodollars.—The exportation
was performed in 250 veffels, of aso tons burthen
each. Several men of great confequenee in the
Weflern States, among whom were Colonel Joan
BLEB, and Sir WILLIAM Dos mass, were lately
moft vexatioufly injured, in the exportation of the
produce of their eftates, by the Spaniatds at Ncw
Orleans.

The Congrefs paffed 35 different AEts during its
SdEon. Its next meeting is expelled to be on the
firft Monday of November next.
In feveral of there papers it is mentioned that
the people of Kentucky are determined not to wait
the refult of negociation, but immediately march
to difpoEcfs the Spaniards of New Orleans.

The honfe in Wen Square, St. George's Fields,
on which the Telegraph is ereeted, was yeßerday
purchafcd by Government for the ufe of the people
belonging to that Ration, and therefore the Tele
graph wal not be removed, as was formerly pro-
pofed.
Yefterday morning fix of the field-pieces, be-
longing to the Foot Guards, were drawn out in St.
James's Park, and the men exercifed for a conli-
derable time in the different artillery manoeuvres.
The Correfpondence is very frequent between
the different Port Admirals and the Admiralty
Board—fo much fo, that when fog prevents the
Telegraph from working, Meffengers are dif-
patched, independently of the Pon.

, mand.

DR URY•LAIIIITNIIATRI..•.The &mations of the
new Comedy, 7&e Afarrive Prossili, proved laft
night irrehflible, and the audience was both more
numerous and fafhionable than on the firit repre-
fentation.

By the Mercury, arrived at Philadelphia from
Trinidad, we learn, that the inhabitants of that
iOand are ander great apprehenflon of the riling of
the Negroes—that a new Governor arrived there
about two months ago ; and the Es Governor, it

lying at Trinidad, being accit.ed of imprifoning
many of the merchants and others, for a confide-
rabic time, without cvat alleging any crime agaiall
thee.
