friends, Watid have eoaununicatedido them a factso important—
a fact on which he, Mr. Sheridan, from * meaps which he
both pa ssesakd and employed, of hearing the sentiments of Lord
Grey onthe subject er the Household, lot to must depend the
success °San greengenthat whieh fresh° professed most cordiality
to wish. This, we say, his Lordship max have thought, and DI
thinking, may have thence conceived himself authorized to ha.
said the unfounded dine against Lord Grey, oith which his
speech concluded i tamely, that Lard Grey wee not misted
with his intended resipetion, bat insisted on his positive din
mission, merely for the mike of wounding Cc feelings of the
Prince. Bet what will the Public think wheel it is known that
Mr. Sheridan :wither directly, Dor indirectly, intimated this fact
to Lord Grey, er to goy one who could convey it to Lord Grey
—not even to Mr. Whitbread, whom he hod sent for tram
the country, to facilitate, as he says, the negociatioe /
The Noble Lord, however, had many other ways of maideg
Moven his intentions if he had so plegemit, He might have done,
for instance, stn the Miasstem themselves did immediately ;Met
the rote of the House of Commas, end deelaped openly, that
neither he nor his father would stand in the way of any =Wet

would have cleared away the dillculty, if his intention bed bad
so to do ; but fin ! The object was to retain the differ'', sad to
get the creditor the intention ; and for this the p t t was easily
laid open as soon as his friend, Mr, Sheridan, bad ascertained
that Lord Moira mould on DO account consent to any change in
the Household. The only point then was to get the negociatien
arthasted to Lord Moire, and entrusted tta him Ovid/vet,/ :—for

An unfoundA report was attempted to be Circe-
Wed yNterday afternoon in the City, that Ministers
had resolved to recal the Orders in Council, and
that notice to that effect would be given last night in
the House of Commons. Whatever may have been
the object of this, we now .learn, that so far from
Ministers busing any such intention, they:pub-
licly declared, at a sleeting held at 'Fife 110.1180,
on Thursday, against the repeal of these Orders. 4.—
Otr this occasion there were present-h-Lords
VFRPOOL, Ross, and CarrtiatAan, end. Mr.
VAN4ITTAIST, on the part of Ministers; and. Mr.
StmoN Wsbttn, with five other Gentlemen, on
the part of the Deputation giving eeklenca jn
Parliament against the Orders in Conneil.er.----
A Jong eodversation took place, during ;Which
Lord C.tterxxiteaou, who was the principal speaker,
defended the justice and policy .1 those Orders, and
the conclusion, observed, " that if" the Admi-
nisiration, now formed, were supported by the Le-
cislature and the country, the Americans would be
under the necessity of passively submitting to these
regulations."—We earnestly hope that net.
ther the Legislature, ner the country, will give
their support to an Administration who entertain
views so hostile to the real interests of Great Britain.
The United States of America are, to be sure, very
remote from this island, and certainly not very well
known either to our Government, or to the People.
They seem, indeed, to be held in no estimation by
the former. Yet this very same Republic consists
of about eight millions of inhabitants, and was in
use to take from us our Colonial produce and manu-
factures, to the amount of at least twelve millions
sterling annually; and would again take them, pro-
sided we discarded the preposterous notion of mak-
ing a monopoly of commerce, by assuming the he.
terogenous and incompatible compound character of
belligerent and neutral, and permitted the Amer--
cans to carry on that commerce which experience
must have convinced every rational man in the United
kingdrens, we cannot carry on ourselves. So muck
for what this iusignificant nation would take fronti
us, and thereby afford immediate relief to thousands I
of our manufacturers, who are literally starriest'
besides affording a vent for the produce of our West
India Islands, width are almost in a State of ruin,
the planters beinl without a market for their rum,
molasses, coffee,. &c. and, of course, without the
means of paying for the bread provisions width their
plantations will not produce, and which they must
either receive from the American States or starve.
Let us now attend to what this country, our colo-
nies, and our Allies, would receive from the United
States in return for these advantages, and which,
uutier " existing eircumstances,'• it is impossible we
can do without ; because, if that were possible, ao
set of Ministers could be found in this country hardy
enough to continue such importation as is done, from
a nation which, for more than twelve Months past,
ha= refused to receive from Ll 3, or our Allies, to the
value of even a razor or a mouse-trap of our manufac-
tures or produce, and accepting in payment nothing
but the precious metals, which have completely dis-
appeared in our circulation. It cannot he disputed,
that our imports from America amount to at least
four milliOns sterling, in naval stores, pot-ash, cot-
ton, timber, itc., which are indispensible to our
manufactures, and which we cannot produce our-
selves, nor procure elsewhere on equally reasonable
terms. Whenever this importation diminishes, it is
an indisputable ,proof of the decline of our trade,
whatever attempts may be made from Custom-kouse
statements of **ports, &c. to shew the confr'
The imports froth the United States, consgente of

provisions of all descriptions, into Lisbon, Cadiz,
Oporto, and Gibraltar, from the Ist of October,
1810, to the Ist of October, 1811, according to the
Custom-house books of these places, amounted, on a
very moderate estimate, to five millions sterling.—
The supplies wanted for the subsequent year,-say

from October, 1511, to October, 1812, every one

admits must be much greater, or else the inhabitants,
if not our army, must perish by famine. Every
person who has any idea of the supplies of flour, I
rice, corn, beef,: pork, live stock, lumber, &c.
which the West India Islands, Nova Scogaz and
even the Isle of France, require from the
United States cannot estimate tke whole at less
than four millions sterling per annum ; making goy.
tiler no less a sum than thirteen millions, moat it.
which, as already stated, we have to pay fari-Idt.
_in the produce of our own iudustry, but, as far as
we have the means, in the precious metals, the only;
genuine basis of the circulating medium of an chip.,
try. this statement we are more than borne, out
by the evidence adduced before the Committee of
Parliament on the Orders in Council.. Let us take .
a glance at the state of ear aftry is Caslaia• We
perceive by the measures taking by .11miGniretiorrii

gtculating medium in that country is gold and sil-
ver. Our Batik-notes; valuable as they are at home,
will not pass there even among the troops ; and
it is a fact, not generally known, that for upwards
of three years past, we derived our means of paying
these troops mostly, if not altogether, by negotiating
Government Bills in the United States, receiving
dollars from them, and transporting this money to
Canada. Tnis source is cut off from us, at present,
by a late law of the American Congress, prohibiting
the exportation of money out of the United States.
Now, we would enquire of -the 44 war in disguise
men":—the men of 64 energetic measures"—the men
who Would trample down neutral rights, and neutral
i commerce, by what means they, are, other than by
a total and immediate change of system, to avert the
Idifficulties and dangers which, it is agreed on all
hands, surround this devoted. nation) We are not
among those that despair. '4 If the fire is too hot, 1
I or the window too cold," said the eloquent Cuait tm,
4 turn not your back to either." Let not the nation
be lulled into fatal security by the hireling journals [
1 -
of the day, who would persuade the people that 1
there is nothing to fear from an American war. It
is pregnant with danger, and if not avertedi will
i most assuredly prove the finale of 44 our last and !
greatest calamities." To heal au evil, we should
iprobe it to the, battens;, au& 43 imee,:danger, the 1
people sliouldlMged af Its bear'ings- and extent.'.
The following litiaet Of a letter, dated Washing-
, ton, April the 30th, received by a respectable merchant
, in the city, discloses some important facts respect-
ing the hostile views of the American Government :
, 44 We understand that the mind of the Executive is 1
Ifully made up to war, without any further attempt?
lat negotiation. A Cabinet was held, and the Seers/
' taries constated.—The Secretary of State was fat
' WAIL immediately.—The Secretary of the Treasury
was ready with his Ways and Means.—The Secretary
of the Navy with his small but gallant force. The
i
[ Secretary of War wished for 60 days to strengthen,
1 &c. and to arm the frontiers. The PRESIDTNT re-
commended the Embargo for 60 days, determiniel,
We presume, to cut short all further negotiation; not
Ito wait till we could hear of the effect of the Embargo
on Great Britain, but to go to war within the 60 days.
The House of Representatives came into this view.—
• The Senate would not consent to an Embargo, the
friends of war, the friends of manly direct opposition
1
to the wrongs of Britain, wishing for a little more
time to burnish up our arms. The measure of the
Paestomr is, therefore, a stronger one than that of the
Senate ; it bears unequivocally on its face a deter-
j mined resolution to cut matters short, and wait no
longer for news front Pump. The measure
of the Senate bears the other aspect without in,
1 tending it ; it permits us to bear the echo of
1 the Embargo from the British shores; but this
was not the motive of the delay, whatever weak and
suspicions men may choose to say of it. This delay
has subjected Congress to an inconvenient alterna-
tive; if they remain, it may now put things too far
forward; if they prorogue, too far back. It is pro-
bable, however, they will have a recess for fifty days.
We have the utmost confidence in the integrity and
energies of the Executive. Their plan of the cam-
paign was at first a much bolder one than the one sub-
stituted scorns likely to prove."

The following statement has appeared in. the dif-
ferent Journals in the imMediate interest of Lords
GREY and GRENVILLE :--" Itt consequence of what
passed last Thursday night, itt the House of Com-
mons, and to obviate the misapprehension which
may arise upon it, we think it necessary to state the
two following facts, which we will reature to pledge
ourselves will be proved beyoed the possibility of
contradiction in the discussion which we understand
is expected to take place in the House of Lords, in
the couse of next week.

" Ist, -That though nearly three weeks were spent
in what were called the late negotiations, no inti-
mation whatever was given, either by Lord Aim RA,
Mr. SIIERID IN, or any person who they could con-
ceive to have the slightest authority on the subject,
either to Lord Gave Er Lord GRENVi US" of the
intention of the Officers of the Household to resign.
" 2d. That having beena!tiered by Lord flio i RA, that
1 he had full powers, It warnot necessary for them to 1
propose any previous stipulation to be lissented to
Iby the Palm: on this subject. What these Noble
Lords desired was, that the usual changes in the
Household should be included in the new arrange-
ments to be agreed 6n, it! order to' spew the neces-
I sary connection of these Offices with the Political
Administration in its first formation. This they un-
derstood Lord MOIRA to express his determination
to resist, and on this determination—so stated on
Ithe part of his Lordship—all farther discussion be.
came useless.

44 It was then on the necessity of actually matiall
the change that the difference arose, and we will
venture to say, that if in the matmer of doing it
.any means could have.been soggested,either by the vo-
luntary resignation of these Officers, or in any Qtbet
mode which might have obviated the objections felt by
Laid MOIRA, it would have been most readily and
cordially assented to on the part of Lord Glue and
Lord GREW VILLE."

disconcerting Mr. ROSE'S strange and most unprece-
dented attempt at preventing Mr. BROUGHAM from
bringing forward his motion on Tuesday next, upon
the most important of all subjects in the present state
of the country—the Orders in Council. Mr. Rost
finding that this motion was certainly to come on up-'
on Tuesday, gave a notice on Thursday, that he
should, last night, move to have the evidence on the
Orden in Council taken into consideration next
Monday se'nuight. A notice of a nature quite new, .
and liable to such imputations as we are unwilling to
give it. The evidence dosed last Wednesday se'n-
night—it was all printed on Wednesday last, and
Me. BaorcilAbl had put off his motion for a whole
week to give more time for considering the evidence ; ,
so that there will have been about a whole fortnight
given on next Tuesday, since the evidence closed---;
and still Mr. Rosa and the Minister pretend, the!
time for discussion is not arrived, and endeavour by
a most novel device to prevent the discussion so ge-
, ne,•ally called for by the .suffering country. We
trust it will fail if repeated to night or on Monday,
land we are glad to hear that the motion (whatever ,
Mr. Rosa may do) comes on certainly on Tuesday.
A recent National Intelligencer contains the fol-
lowing notice respecting the spy, HilsaY:--"-46 The
New York Evening Post, of April 14, contains an
article extracted from the Montreal Courant, pur-
porting to be a copy of a letter from Joni HENRY
i(the Agent to whom we are indebted for a develop- ,
Iment of British infernalism) to his friend in Canada,
dated at New York, March 6, 1812. This article
is so palpable and gross a forgery, a manoeuvre so
I contemptible, as not to be worth a remark, but to
awaken our vigilance, and put us on our guard
against the incessant intrigues of the British Govern-
ment and its satellites, and their unretnitted attf,mpts
to sow dinention throughout this country. IlEsey's
disclosures had paralised the British interest in this
country so greatly, that a desperate remedy became
necessary, and forgery is resorted to, to weaken
their foree—a fit agent for the purposes of those whd
had sacrilegiously dared to lay their profane hands oe
the holy ark of our Union."
The new system lately adopted for carrying oe
the recruiting service in the Gloucester District
(baying been found to be productive of great
,advan;
tage) is immediately to be extended to the Counties
of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge, and will gra-
flatly be introduced throughout Great Britain.
The French prisoners at NormenVitiss have lately
discovered much hilarity, and have appeared to be
animated by some intelligence which they hawe re-
ceived; but no overt marks of turbulence or insub-
ordination have taken place.
• Among the remarkable oiCarieniet of the year
1812, may be noticed the Address of three Dissent-
ing Ministers, of Sunderland, to the PRINCE Re-
cern, on the assassination of the late Premier.—
These gentlemen, with an unaccountable deviation
from the main object of the address, squeezed in the
expression of their " perfect satisfaction with the
measure of religious liberty theti enjoy," We trust
that should any Bill be brought 4orward in Parlia-
ment for a further extension of liberty to the re-
spectable body of Dissenters, n clause will be intro-
duced to except the reverend trio.
A footrace' was yesterday Motning decided. fetH

errors or mistakes, and thereby given theearth a dif•

merly advanced on the subject, notwithstanding the
! assertions of an unblushing and grovelling sycophant
in the Eclectic Review, for March last, who, by

fortunately rendered the subject of his panegyric an
object of general ridicule and contempt. —Such.
