Ln,H0rtnnt.

SINCE the arrival Of Mr.. Oakelev at
Washington, Mr.. Smith, Secretary
OF State, and Mr.. Erskinc, the Bril-
fish Minister, have been, we under
stand, every day engaged in discus
sions in relation to two points of diff.
ference between the United States
and Great Britain, which, it seems,
Mr.. Erskine has been authorised to
arrange, in virtue Of powers receiv-
ed from his government, by the Bri.
fish sloop of war now lying at Hamp-
ton, subject to his orders. The fol-
lowing notes shew the happy result
Of these discussions.

She applied % him sui for mofc mopey
and ~ imaled he was IN her power If he
did no, comply. lie gave moe. she
repeated her demands so often that he
found !. would be impracticsble to supply
them and determined to stop where he
was and brave consequences. She then
offered that if he would pay all her debt,
and settle an annuity for life Of { 400 up
on her she would remain silent and give
up his lc ters. lie refused she went o
a member of he House OF Commons and
accused the Duke OF York as Commander
