FGon LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1.-The re-
cent intelligence of an,engagement having
take.i hlacc between his majestv's Ship Leo
pard, and an American lrigate, has occasi-
oned great alarm here, lest 1t should lead
to an interruption of the good understand
ing that has hitherto subsisted between the
two countr cs. Our ministers have express
Scd both III the House of Commons and to
She merchants OF london, . strong desire
on their part to prevent rupture with A.

would be satisfactory, if, on Investigation,
the conduct OF his majesty's officer Should
prove 10 have been improper and if we
may Judge from what has occurred, we
saouid incline to the opinion that they fear
II has been so; we are however, altogether
igoorant Of what has passed in America On
| Ibis affair. Should your government have
adopted any strong measures the adjust
ment may be rendered more difficult and
considerable fears are entertained by the
merchants here on that head, owing 10 our
having 10 late arrivals here from your side
''Nessels of every description have been
detained here, for more than eight DAYS,
owing TO an embargo being laid in al Bril-
fish ports until an expedition h,ted out for
the continent has sailed. This being now
accomplished, thcy are again allowed 20
proceed.
Sowing to the uncertainty of the CONT
nuancc OF peace with America, most hoi-
ders o. your produce have thought it pru-
dent 10 suspend their sales and therefore
what has been done is at some advance :;
but as this uncertainty must soon change

BRITISH PARLIAMENT

In the house Of commons the 9TH Of Au-
gust, IN Il debate on the consolidated fund
Ibul.
Sir Thomas Turton thought, that in the
present circumstances it was necessary to
give confidence to ministers. Russia and
Prussia were Frustrated at the feet Of
france, and our disputes with America in
creascd.-Thc conduct of the latter countrv
was owing entirely to the pusllanmity of
the late ministry, who treated with Anne
RIGA with pistol at their breasts.
Mr. w. Smith adverted 20 what had been
said by Sir Thomas Turton relative to A.
melica, and said, that when that country
was mentioned, it could not be i'll = language
too conciiiatory. He was certain that mi
.nisters had very difficult task to perform
with respect to America, and he believed
they would be very cautious how they fol-
lowed the advice Of the honorable baronet
Accounts from Port-au Prince, as late as

~ beggar, and yet is man of talents.
Claiborne fed, clothed, and made him a
judge with salary of 1000 dollars per an
mum and how has he acquitted himself for
those multiplied acts of benevolence p
Why, he has declared to Lieut. Murray that
"Claiborne's heart was as black as his hal"
why did he thus insult the Governor? Be-
cause Claiborne refused to draw out the mi
litia, and array them against the General
and the troops of the United States, to pro-
tect this outlandish judge and two or three
OF his brothers in iniquity: And vet, for ar
resting such fellows, and preventing the
horrors ofcivil war, is poor Wilkinson bias
ted by the denunciations of those very men
who have invariably denounced the govern
ment for its want of energy. A copy of the
deposition of Ensign Small now send for
your amusement, and that you may better
torn an opinion of the consummate art that
has been employed to promote this ncfari.
Gus enterprise. What has become of Burr ,
ms cannot answer. Some think that he
has escaped to the Spaniards."
This deposition is in the possession Of
the Editor OF the American, and shall an.
pear tomorrow. 1t is an interesting docu.

conspirators had proceeded. We reere
that Its length and the time at which it va,
