tics of Spanish America ; not only to separate them
from Old Spain, but to alienate them from Great
Britain; and it is most prole:We, that for many
moths past, the emissarks of Mr. 111.intSos have
been intriguing every where to that purpose; fear it
is shrewdly suspected, that the kkowledge of the
death of Mr. PERCY:VAL quickened the resolution of ,
the American Govertitnent to declare war, fearing
a Ministry disposed to cnriciliation might be ap. ;
Inted, which would ;Weston, with their views in

kiother State.
Dees net all this serve to demonstrate the fatal nb.
stiaacy of Mr. Pent:tea t.'s Government in resisting .
every attempt that Wils niade by' the Opposition to do I
itliaC the Orders in Council, which would have taken
from the PRESIDENT and his party all the grounds of ;
hostility to England ? Mr. Bnoveatvvt made his fa• ;
molts motion on the 3d of March, and he framed it
set as to take in both the Orders in Council and the
Licence Trade. If that motion had been carried, the
i'r.sidete of the UNITED STATES durst not hare pro.
ccAled to the decimation of war, for the sense of the I
country would have been against it; and the new
obstacles to conciliation which be has it In ids pewee
to interpose, would not have existed, or atleast
could not 'else been avowed. To the rejection of
that motion, therefore, we may truly ascribe the'
war with America. And now, to the rejection .of
time proposal of giving full powers to tho Commis-
sioners to mediate bet Ween Spain and her Colonies
we may, in all probability, ascribe the loss of all
connection and good understanding with Spanish
America.

We have been favoured with the perusal of a Let-

from Sicily to co-operate with the Spaniards in Cata-

letter states She Bridals. feece employed upon this
Expedition to be considerably higher than we were

Spanish corps, copsistiog,pf,betweeti 6 and 7000 in-
fantry, and 300 cavalry, has been organised and
disciplined in Majorca by General NV item NQUAW.—
They are represented as being very tine troops, and
in every respect lit for service. The whole of the
French force under Sumer, according to the most
authentic *counts, amounts to about 25,000 men;
bat of theseghe cannot bring above 15,000 into the

Extract of a letter from Malta, dated July 1:-

cruising in the Levant, who rendezvous at Cereal;
and tl:is day arrived a vessel from Marsala, the Master
ui which reports his having seen a small French pri-
tateer off that port."

Another difficulty has arisen with regard to the
departure of vessels licensed, and bound to the
sited States. Any of them having copper on board
are not allowed to proceed to NA, but by some mis-
take, a distinction is not taken betn•een copper in
sheets, and copper manufactured into culinary and
other utensils.

No PerEntra.—' From the following Resolution,
which was entered iittoit a Meeting of theKilkermy
Catholics, on the nth ult. the reader will perceive
with astonishment and indignation, that the hellish
awls of the No Poperies are still at work to dis-
tract this unfortunate country, and to set it at any
hazard in uproar and march): :—" That anxious as
Re are to do all in our power to preserve the peace
and trititpiillity of this country, vce feel ourselves
called r.n to express the strongest indignation at, the
foul and slanderous reports of the intended trias-1
;acre of our Protestant Countrymen, which have
been circulated with the utmost industry through ,
this country during the last week, and intooded for ,
the wicked and mischievous purpose of reviving the ,
expiring spirit of religious discord, and blasting the •
J'aPpy prospect of the cordial unton of Irishmen of
ill religious persuasions ; and we feel ourselves pe-
cutarly called upon to (lecture' our indignation at the
imputation of such atrocious designs on our pot) I
surrounded as we are by Protestants Wall ranks,
whose early, constant, and libtaral exertions in our
behalf, we Fecogtlise' with sentiments of heartfelt
thanks and gratitude-6-(Prienies'a Jeutiudi sta-
