POLITICAL REVIEW.

Mr.. Rose has arrived ia London from
America he came III the Slatira frigale.
A Cabinet Council was he d at the Foreign
Office on Saturday last, 10 deliberate on
the subject of his communication we are
sorry the accounts from America are not
very favorable 10 England. Although no.
thing has hitherto transpired which rem
ders an amicable adjustment hopeless, yet
certainly there exists good. reason 10 fear
that the negotiations are attended with
much difficulty. The Americon govern
ment seem determined 10 ABIDE by the =
msuds which they have made, Infringing
ali their complaints forward together, and
are not Disposed 10 be satisfied with. a
mere apology and PREPARATION FIR the affair
of the Chesapeake. The disputed points
between the countries Involve Cue s'ions
of vital national importance and, howe
yer inclined we may BE- 10 wish for a
friendly termination OF the difference, We
see more reason to fear than 10 hope.
But The refusal OF the American govern
ment To permit Admiral Duckworsh to
water his squadron in the Chesapeake,
does not of itself render war more proba-
bic. Ii was understood, when .he last ac-
counts came away, that the embargo re-
manned in full force, and that no relaxation
of the measures which the American 20
'vernment had adop'ed was to take place
t;l an answer had been received TO the
dispatches transmitted to Europe. Mr..
Er.kine remains in Amenca.-We un-
de,stand thai Inc report OF an lmsurrec.
ton in the Western Country, and of 4
revolution in the Flordas, under the d..
re6lion of the French General MORGAN,
are without foundation.
A, this period 3f the year it is very
uncommon to experience such severity
and change OF weather as has bsen Tor the
last ten days. The fall Of snow during
the las, week was aimos, general through
out the country. Accounts from Cam.
bridgeshre, Lincolnshire, and Scotland,
mention that it lay on The ground aor two
days.
A letter from London, received in Glas-
gov on Thursday, says, We lose no
time in furnishing the important Informal
ton that the Portuguese Ambassador has
e, length relaxed in his prob .btion ofco,-
ton piece goods 10 the Brazils.,"
