We understand, from an authentic source,
tnat the Executive OF the United States are
IN possession of letters from Mr. P.nkney,
tshe American Minister in London) Of a
date as late as the Sd of March, at which
time, 1t seems, Nc Pinkuey had not re.
ceised IRON Lord Wellesley any answer to
note which he had addressed to the lat
ter on the ID of January preceding. Tais
lapse of time 1.-TWO man,hsl without an an.
swer from the British Secretary, does nor
ausur SO well AS We could visa towards an
adjustment ct differences between the two
countries. We are, indeed apprehen i've,
that the beneficial effect manifesl ~ produc.
ed upon the Eng ish government by the
prompt suspension of Mr. Jack,on's fuuc
tionssaud by the decision exhibited bv the
adoption OF Mr. Giles resolutions in reIa-
tion to that envoy, has BEEN partially if not
totally couateracted by the subsequent ar.
rival in England of the report of our com.
'hittee OF foreign relations, at the head of
winch Is Mr. Macon, and which report
consisted of the bill called Macon's
bill, Sc. We have always feared the
consequence OF thar 6iH's reaching Eng.
land. We still, however, hohe for the best
that can happsu under all the clrcumssan
ces.
we learn from s.. Domingo, that we are
threatened with predatory war BY Chris
tophey the black general and ruler of a part
OF that Island. 1t seems that some time
since Chrissophe had an agent a. Baltimor
building what he called frigase, which
however, by the interpositioa OF the Ameri.
can government, he was prevented from
ehecting. The agent, enraged a. his dis,
appointment, has, it appears, repaired to
Ohristophe and is exciting lie black Chief
% make war upon our commerce. Chris.
.oPhc has several Vessels OF war, ana, up.
on commerce SO detenceless as ours, couiu
rot fail to make prize oil muca o. cur m.r.

linus, after having been bullied by Eaglaod
and France, we are, it seems, to be bulll.
