BY THE LAST MAIL.
NETWORK, March 6.
VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Last evening arrived at this port the Bri'
fish Packet Eliza, from Falmouth, with the
December and January mails. The Packet
sailed on the 18th of January. and a pas
senger has politely favored the editors of
the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of
London pagers to the twelfth of January
Inclusive, from which We have copied the
most interesting articles.
The paper of the twelfth states as proba-
bic, that the French DEGREES VIC Id very
speedily be revoked.
We learn from the passengers in the Pac-
ket, that not the smallest apprehension was
entertained that war would ensue in con-
sequence Of the d smissal of Mr.. Jackson.
Our London papers are mostly filed
with the correspondence between our 60
vernment and Mr.. Jackson.
LONDON, December 81.
The liberty to import salt and colonial
produce from England is said to be con.
ceded to Sweden, in one of the articles of
peace between that power and France.

The flag of truce that sailed for Calais
on Sunday, with Mayuz, the Austrian cou-
rier, and Mr.. Powell, the secretary to the
American minister, returned to Dover on
Wednesday, with the latter gentleman, who
was not allowed to land. This refusal it is
said, was qualified by an assurance that he
would be allowedto disembark and proceed
to P.ris, whenever he should present him.
self at that port [St. Maloes shroush which
communications between the respective mi
nisters of the u. S. at the courts Of London
and Paris were generally made. After what
has been said of America in the Expose,ae
are rather surprised to find so little di>posi:
ton in the French government to accom-.
the diplomacy oft at country. WHAT dit-
ference can it make to Bonaparte, through
which of his ports, provided he tolerates it,
Messrs. Pinkney and Armstrong cores
pond? This marked insult can hardly
have arisen from mere displeasure at the
breach of a capricious regulation. From
the length of time that the flag of truce was
on the other side, it is probable there was
some communication by telegraph, or other
wise, between the commandant at Calais
and his government respecting the admit
lance of Mr.. Powell into the empire. The
flag of truce brought over a report that Mr..
Armstrong was about to return e Ameri-
ca. This, if the rumor be well founded,
would sufficiently account for the indigni,y
with which Mr.. Pinkney's secretary has
been treated.
