Mr.. LIVINGSTON.

The arrival of Mr.. Livingston in this country was
totally unexpected. He failed from DePpe, are
informed on board American vefcl bound for Lou
hiana, which put him on board pilot boat of Cowes.
His voyage to England certainly relates 60 the pecu
mary concerns of the American republic principally,
we believe, to the purchafe of Louiiiana England is
the only country in Europe where money to be had,
and therefore apprehend that MIR. Livingston is
come to accelerate the rafting FUN OF money to an
fwer the fr nftalment agreed to be paid by the u.
States for that poeon. The loan for this purpoie,
we unerfand, proceeding under the agency OF great
commercial houfe, well known tor Its extenhve con-
Germs with America. .r
1t is whfpered beides, that the Americans have in
view the purehafe of the Fordas, and politely that al
70 may be part Of the preient buineis. Mr.. Lii
vineton is certainly the bearer of any propoias
from France to our government; indeed 1t would be
a means of rendering them unpopular, to fend them
by the author of 20 contemplate and datardy piece
of aterv as he lately offered the tyrant Of France,
at the expence of This country. While fate this,
we ihall not be furprfed if Mr. L. ihould be private
IL n(trg to feel the pulle OF the government and
people of England with reipe& to the grand queiion
of peace with France. We tao7u it to be a favorte
idea with Ronaparte to patch up peace with this
country for few years, to give hun time to breathe
and to collect navy.
PnoIsnd oppofes an inIurmountable bar to the de-
gns of Bonaparte as universal, Leaf extended
empire but in the preent relative fate of the two
countries, he finds impoble atchieve his con-
queR Its by peace only he hope to do 70, for it
is a few years of peace which alone enable him to
recover his commerce and create marine force.
For thefe reatous we have for fome tne been in
expectation of a propoition of peace from France.
How fuch an overture will be received by the new
1niniRry we fell not attempt to conjecture. the
terms propoied iould be very moderate it will be
popular TO reject them, and thus the embarrament of
the mininers will be inereafed. We truf, however,
that no terms will be itened to- but iuch iha ie-
cure the independence of Holland, Spain, Switzerland,
and the Italian republic.

INTERESTING SUMMARY.

CORK, June 1.-THE London Packet to the
cd have been received at our Office, together
with feveral Provincial and Periodical Publicati-
ons our Extracts from thefe various fources
will he found highly interefing and important.
The Journals of Saturday furnifh us with feye-
raj articles of intelligence irutn the Continent
amongf which the requiftion of the French
Government with refpea to Embden, with the
interior views which this negotiation difclofes,
pohefIes ftrong claims to the attention of our
Readers. The intelligence from the continent,
which we had been frequently under the necef-
fly ofrepTelenting as barren and local, becomes
daily more and more attractive and according
as Il Gees to portend new coalitions or freih hof
Titles, is accompanied by intended changes in
the French Armies, which prove that the new
Emperor is not Indifferent TO the alterations
which have been gradually though nowly TAX
ing place in the language of the European
courts, particularly in that Of Peteriburgh. Even
the French Journals, which fcldom venture into
the regions Of Conjecture, fpeak of a war on the
Rhine AS not iinpoiible and the Cief dN CATH
zef informs us that, fhould iuch an event occur,
General JOurdan is to be recalled from Italy,
to command in that quarter. IN Mort the poll
tical horizon has lately alfumed new afpeG
the ambitious views Of the French Government
have been too fully and, confidently with found
policy, too prematurely diiclOied. Il has been
Hrongly felt that the new Emperor would nell
ther be guided IN his conduG by the laws, which
heretofore regulated the intercourie Of civilized
nations, nor even by the Revolutionary maxims
which he himfelf had promulgated. The plan
Of myerfal dominion has appeared too glaring-
IL not to excite alarm and apprehension and
there can be no doubt that betweeuthe Northern
courts and that OF Vienna, an exchange Of fent-
ments has taken place, the confequence of which
