Capt. Mackenzie from his paGage mut have
left Liverpool the 10th of Augul. Ledger.


It vii! be noticed, that the account brought
by capt. M'Kepzie, and eurniilied us by capt
Treadwell, israther at variance with our accounts
by the Rol'a.
Capt. M'Kenzie, il he has ftated his palIage
correctly, left L:verpoolthe 10th Augun, fever
al days later than the Rolla; we however think
it impofiible that lord Lauderdale, who only left
Deal the Sd of Auguft, could have terminated
his negotiations, 70 as the refult could have been
known i'll Liverpool on the 10th of the flme
month. His Iordfhip probably arrived at Paris
the 5th at night, he could not well enter upon
and fni.h his bulinefs in one dav, without which
he could not have returned courier to London
fooner than the 9Th or 9th.
Whatever may be the refu!t of Lord Lauder
dale's milton, we do not think il could he
known in Liverpool when Capt. M'Kenzie fail
ed. Public opinion might however have been
