he continuance OF the war for some
time, Is now put beyond all manner of doubt
or controversy. The frigate (Junon) has
returned with an answer to the Admiral's
proposition, which precludes his holding anv
further correspondence with your Execu-
tive; and his Instructions to the comman-
ders OF vessels of war here. are OF the most
determined kind. 1t is said he has declared,
" that as forbearance and pacific measures
have only tended to make the United States
more mfexiblc in the demands of conces-
sions which she knows Great Britain can
not possibly yield, SHE MUST BE. MADE

Extract ofa letter, received tr. Pacific, by
commercial house in this city from their
friends in Liverhooi.
Dear Sir--Your letter ordering licences
10 protect flour, seed, etc. liz American YES
sells from the United States to the PENN
suia, came too late, our government having
stopped granting them on the 18th ult.-
The minister informed our London friends
when they applied in your behalf, that no
more will be issued, as the people of the u
nited States would support the war, so
long as they could have good market for
their flour, and employ for their ships he
further added, that they wished to cncour-
age the commerce of their friends the
Swedes, Portuguese and Spanards, which
they could not do in any way. so effectually
as to refnse licences to The American ships.
No licences have been granted for flax
seed, or any other article, except bread stuff,
and so determined are our ministers on de-
sfroyinS your commerce. that they would
not have granted any for those articles, but
for the necessity Of the case

The brig Rattlrsnake-It was our mel
ancholy duty to state that this brig had been
upset by a Hurricane between Reedy Island
and the Piers about 2 O'clock III the morn
ing of Tuesday last, aud that II persons
had been drowned. 1t is with peculiar sat
istaCtion we now correct this statement, Sc
record a most extraordinary interposition
OF Divine Providence. AT early Daylight,
the boatswain went ON board the brig to see
if he could recover his trnuk. While stan
ding on a part of the bow out OF water lie
heard the cries for help Of the people in the
IOreCaStle, VINO were unable to ret 70 the
scupper SIS the ship lay On her starb9ard
side. The boatswain hailed the Revenue
Gutter who sent her boat with people ard
an axe to assist in getting the unfortunate
people out. They instantly went to work
and in seaman's, phrase sCuttled her, that
is, cut hole for the seamen to get out
TSey were all l8 in number and a small
boy taken out alive. The men had been Z
hours up to the chin 10 water, some being
obliged to hold back their heads TO keep the
water from running into their mouths
they were almost exhausted for want Of
air when the hole was cut.
Not the least interesting circumstance in
this truly interesting affair is, that the sea-
men, faint and expiring as they were, had
borne MP the head of the little boy above
water, determined that so long as they iiv-
ed, he should NOT perish.
