LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.

LIVERPOOL, oePt. -
Contrary to public expectation, not syl-
able has lately appeared in the London Ca
zette respecting the expedition to the
Schcldt; we are therefore entirely at the
mercy OF private letter writers, who have
tsaen their station at Walcheren, to report
the progress of the operations, and specu-
late upon then ultimate success. One OF
these, in an elaborate statement, assures US
that great uncertainty prevails respecting
the practicability OF executing any further
operations against the enemy's fortresses.
1t would even seem, tina. the enemy are le-
solved to attempt the recapture of Walche-
rem; and that Bernadotse has with view
to that object, taken the command at Cad
sand, whittier strong reintorcements OF
troops are continually sent. 1t IS added
that the Boulosne Ao,iila is to be used for
the purpose of carrying over the force dcs-
tined for the descent. We are rather dis
posed to consider these preparations of the
enemy as designed altogether for the defen-
sive purposes. But at ali events, the neces-
sary precautions are taken, by having a
strong force in the island, and by stationing
quad ships, Sc. to Illustrate any attempt the
enemy may make.
The letters which have been received are
written By persons who affect to have a
more perfect knowledge of the movements
of the enemy than their insulted situation
warrants. We are still inclined to think.
tina, further, and we trust effective opera
tons up the Scheldt will be attempted.

caused to be rendered for the unauthorized
attack upon the American frigate Chesa-
neake would be accepted BY the government
Of the United States in the same spirit o.

The favorable change in the relations q
his majesty with the u. S. which has been

instructed TO communicate to the American
government, his najesty's determination OF
sending to the u. S. an envoy extraordinary
