Extract of a Letter from an 04;4 a• high ritnk
at Gibraltar! dated July 10, 1819:—" We have
little news here. BALLArreaos has been twice in
the city of Malaga, but the fort is still in the betide
of the enemy. The first part of the Expedition.,
which has been collected et Mahon sailed on the 6th
lost. I am assured that the corabiud forces err
weaker, and the enemy, under %crier, stronger
than was apprehended; and part of the intended
force has beet, too long delayed."
Government has issued the followii►►g of%cial come
mnuication on the subject of American licences :—;.
" All Licences granted to Americau'resselv most be
exhibited to the Marshal of the Admiralty Court, in
Dactore Commons, to be endorsed by hint before
the vessel will be permitted to depart. The vesselt
at the out-ports cannot depart till the Lionel have
keen endorsed by the Marshal, and must be sent to
London for that purpose, and in time to be returned
to allow the vessels to depart before the 15th of
A 'must."

We understand that Licences are to be issued to
permit neutral' vessels, with provisions, ,to proceed
from the United Statesjo the ports of Cadiz and !Ar-
bon, whether on American account or of erwise,--..
Whether ships so freighted and 'so destine', bearing
the flag of the United States, are to.receive the like
protection, .Wo-are not yet infonned. It may be
doubted,. whether the American Government will ale
low of this intercourse.'
Front the importance attached to the Persict ice/
orter's Household, in the late negotiations for form:.
lag a new Adininistration, it wilt be interesting tot '
ievar Readers to learn, that ft 'ls' confidently stated'
that the Earl of txmitourn has resigned the office or
Vice-Chamberlain: This intelligence has been sent'
tb townfrom Brighton, where the Noble Karl now
ist and Where he is said to have announced it person*
ally to the Earl of B.S II REMO RE. ~
It is reported, that at the late Cabinet Councils, a.
Proposition to be made to the liuite...cl States of Anie.;

termined on, and forwarded to Mr. Eostzit. ..44,
swift sailing vessel was expected to prueeed ytaefi•_
day from Ports Mouth with thiS impottant Documeutii;
which is said to he of a conciliatory nature, and cal.%
culated to bring about P. tl adjustment of all theyreo.
sent differences, if the Aturrican GoverninentAr•stro.
