bhL iAflOACI, June -
BY the arrival of the schooner Five Sisters
at Philadelphia, from New Providence, we
have received our file of Ba anna papers
down to the 21st of May. in these We find
the publication by the governors order, of
the Instructions OF the British commissioners
of the high court of admiralty, directing and
authOrising a trade from the British West
India islands and Nova-Scotia, with the re.
VOTED part OF st. Domingo. Thus it appear,
that the British cabinet persevere in support
ing the right of all colonies to rebel agains
their mother country but her own. They
bear testimony that the colossal power Of the
whole British navy Is not capable OF shelter-
ing their commerce under their ail-protcc,-
ing wings against even marauding one gun
privateer. A cotrt-martial had been as
semhied or board the Diamond frigase in

kr. Rose has arrived IN London from a
merica he came in the Statira frisate: A
Cabinet Council was held at the Fore si,
Office on Saturday last, to deliberate on the
jsubject of his communication we are sorry
the accounts from America are not very fa-
vorablc to England. Although nothing has
hitherto transpired which renders an AMIGA
| bic adjustment hopeless, yet oertainly there
exists good reason to feat that the negotiati-
ons are attended wish much difficulty. The
American government seems determined tc
abide by the demands which they have made
OF bringing all their complaints forward to-
getler, and arc not disposed to be satisfied
with mere apology and PREPARATION for the
affair of the Chesapeake. The disputed
points betW eenthe countries involve question.
OF vital national Importance ;and, however
inclined We may be TO wish for Friendly
termination of the difference, we see more
| reason to teer than to hope. But the refusa
OF the american government to permit AID
| miral Duckworth to water his squadron ii
the Chesapeake, Goes not of itself render
war more probable 1t was understood, wher
| the last accounts came away, that the EN-
barge remained in full force, and that no re
Taxation OF the measures which the Ameri
can government had adopted was to take
place I'll an answer had been received to the
dispatches transmitted to Europe. Mr. Err
sklne remains in Anerica.--We understand
that the report of an insurIection in tht
Western Country, and of a revolution in til,
tIoridas, under the direction of the French
General Moreau, are without foundation.

notwithstanding my chief secretary Of
state, Don Pedro CeyaIlos, for several rca-
sons which he has made known to me, has
resigned his commission into my hands, I
have not thought proper to accept of the
same, since. have just cause to believe not
ngithstanding his marriage with the frs tcou-
sin of the prince of peace, Don Manuel Co
dol, he has never concurred with the senti-
nents and ujust designs attributed to that
person, and respecting which l have ordered
fiding then in his honorable principles and
attachment to the sovereign whereofI ought
to avail myself, it is my will that this my
royal appointment be made public for the in
formation of all my subjects. You will at
tend TO the same for its due accomplish.
