TRU gTATE'SMAN.

. , latvaalv,
Mr. flagon offered the Petition of -sundry Mer.
chants of Boston, praying leave to import from Cs- •
nada, Neva Scotia, &c. certain articles purchased an-
terior to a knowledge of the President's Proclama-
tion of Nov. 9, 1810.—Referred to the Committee of •
the whole, to whom the Bill on that subject was ro-
ferred.
The following Resolution in substance was offered
by Mr. LitTLE
a Resolved—That the President of the United States be re-
quested to cause to be laid before thionouse' a list of the ships
and vessels of the United States, thnt have been Ca, lured and
troodeamed-ander the authority of the British Governmeot, since
the treaty of Amity, commerce, and Navigation. of 1794, as
well as the amount of mdemmtluation for such captures."
Mr. BtocLow requested the mover to amend his re-
solution by making it apply to captures under the au-
thority of all Foreign Governments. But Mr. Lit-
t tie and he had a distinct object in view, and did not
wish his resolution thus burthened. The resolution
was thus laid on the table.
The House then went into a Committee of the
whole, Mr. Barrett in the Chair, on the Volunteer
Bill. The question before the Committee amounted
in substance to this : shall the Officers of the Volun-
teer Army be commissioned ander the authority of
the United States, or of the States where they be-
long? Several of the Members spoke on this Bill,
but the House adjourned without taking the question.

• When we recollect the forged documents which
lately appeared in the American Journals;and which
were copied into the Courier, ancl recommended to
the world as genuine,. we. find in this a fill con-
, firmation of the charge brought against the present
1 Ministers by ,Governor GERILT. Tbe probability of
I the surrender of Mexico to the Patriot army, is
greatly increased by letters in.the New York Papers
from South America, which Ode, that no doubt was
entertained " that the city has been taken before
now."--These letters add, that all communication
was cut off between that city and Vera Crnz ; that
'it was expected Vera Cruz would Xlso- soon
Ibe taken ; and that it was confidently believed.

all Spanish Amerieta" The same paper remarks',
" We learn, with delight, that Deputies or Ambassa.
dors from Caraccas, Santa Fe, La Plata, and IVletico„
are on their way to our Government. The purpose
Is easy to divine, and pleasant to contemplate."
We have alreiuly expressed a confident opinion
that the PRINCE REGENT is more alive to the inte-
rests of his family, and to the welfare of the court.
try, than to think of retaining the present Ministers
In power, and that an entire change of men, who
will pursue measures that will tend to peace, can
alone save the nation. Having said this much, we
shall wait with patience till the restrictions imposed
upon his Royal Highness are removed, in the firm
persuasion that our hopes -wit! be fully realised.=
Meanwhile, as the fteaderli of the STATESMAN may
be cqous to know what Is conjectured-by the
partizans of those in power, and of those who
are not possessed of it, respecting the medi-
tated "change, we have extracted the follow-
ing' Irticles upon the subject" from the Chroni-

Herald, of this morning. The party who

Ipported by the former Paper are well known.
•latter Journal, it is pretended, has access to
w the secrets.of Carlton-house:—
There can be no doubt of a comrnunica4on har-
been made in the course of yesterday from the
INCE REGENT to Lord GREY and LordGavivitte ;
1 when we reflect on the terms of his Royal High-

ness's letter to Mr. PERCEVAL last year, when I
he signified to that Gentleman his determination
to make no change at that time in Ms Father's
Government, we are persuaded that this com-
munication related to the formation of a new Ad-'
ministration. Of the terms, or even of the sub;
stance of such a communication, we have no means
of informing the public, nor shall we offer any con-
lectures as to its probable resolts ; but of this we are
well assured, that no consideration will Induce
either of these. Statesmen to accept of office., without
a thorough understanding, that when in power they
will be permitted to follow the same line-of general 1
policy which they have recommended when in oppo-
sition, and more especially, unless they are autho-
rized to carry into effect those measures of concili-
ation with regard to Ireland, which they have so
often declared to be, in their opinion, essential to
the peace and security of the Empire. Mr. Peace,
VAL'S insinuation, on Thursday night, was no doubt
intended to keep up the spirits of his men. It was
like that of the juggling Witches to .Mucbelli—

' lle patter'd with them in a double sense;
He kept the word of promise to their ear,
' And broke it to their hope.'

" For we understand that before he left the House,
he said that he had been misconcehed by Mr. WHIT,
DEL A° ; for he certainly did not mean to give out that
he had any foundation for confidence in the personal
enjoyment of the PRINCE'S favour—but only that
the prospect of his opponents might not be so bright
as they seemed to indulge in their golden dreams.—
This elplanatiou, however, with what transpired
yesterday, soon dissipated the golden dream in
which, for the moment, he had lulled his own friends.
The intentions of the PRINCE REGENT were convey-
ed in a letter' to the Duke of YORK, which his
• R4al Highness forthwith communicated to Earl
GRIT and Lord Gaarrvita.s."—(Chronicle.)
la Arrangements are certainly formisg, by which;
Rime considerable change must necessarily take pis
is the subordinate departments of Government ; bot 4
Lord ELDON, Mr. PEROEVAL, and Lord LIYERIOOL,
we understand, remaiu in office, and will, of course, ,
entirely influence the chance of successors to those
who retire from office. Lord CISTLEREAGH, if he
does not succeed Marquis WILLESLEY, will probably I
go to the Board of Admiralty. The Marquis of
Hisavro RD will have the vacant Lord Chamberlain-
ship, Lord CHOLSIONDILEY the Household, and
Lord Lofts MURRAY is to be one of the new Lords
of the Bedchamber ; but no appointments whatever
will be decltred, until the first Council after the ex-
pirathm of the Regency Restrictions, which will
.probably sot be hehl betake Wednesday, the 2Sth
iostaut."--(Horeld.)
