From the London Plot.


We understand that the duke of yelling
ton left Paris some days since to return to his
army, in consequence of a particular express,
the object of which is said to have been to
mike selection of 10000 men from the
most effective regiments, to be sent againt
the U. ). of America, under the command OF
Sir i. Picton, who is said TO have already
embarked from the south of France for that
destination.
Nay Let is said that Messrs. Callatin
and Bayard have received dispatches from
the American Government, Containing III
st uctions for the duty they are about to I'M
dertake OF a most Conciatory nature. For
the especial convenience Of the British Minis
trv, the place Of negotiation has oeen chang
ed to Flanders.
Six vessels were taken between the 4th and
10th of last month"; by the Prince of Neufcha-
tel American privateer, and carried into Ha-
yre, where they have been condemned, and
the vessels and cargoes advertised for sale. A
letter from davre, dated or Wednesday last,
from gentleman who went over to endeavor
to procure restoration of the cargo Of one
of the vessels, states, " All M interference az
this place has yet been in vain, as the Amer
lean Consul here has the very extraordinary
power OF CONCERNING vessels sent in by Amer
lean privateeIs, without the interference Of
the French Government"
issued for stopping the embarkation of troops
from the ports OF the United Kingdom fer A
melica. Hence it is concluded that peace
With the q. States is locked upon as certain.
1t is not improbable, however, that the ample
force ordered from the Duke of WeIlington's
army may render these minor embalkations
from the ports Of the United Kingdom um.c-
cessary. That force will be composed of
the 18th dragons, detachment Of roval ar
no = i, l.l A.I
and several other select regiments OF the ar
my at present under the command of the
Duke of Wellington. The chief command is,
We understand, t. be offered to- losi Hill
but It is doubted whether his lordIlip VII ac-
cept of it, OF Sir L. PiCton either; both these
gallant officers having occasion for repose and
re-est' bhshment after so many years Of Sc
ve-'e exerSlon and privatiOn in the arduous
coi-est on the Continent now so happily ter
min tied. The subordinate command is to be
filled by those gallant officers, Sn Fl. Clinton,
mlior generals Barnes, Robinson, Kemp, and
several other distinguished heroes of the
Duke of WeilingtOn's glorious campaign.
Way 20.-The full powers with which
Messrs GALLATIN and 8AYARD have been
provided, have enabled them to remove the
seat of negotiation, and the city of Client has
been appointed for the conferences with the
British Commissioners, which viii commeDce
as soon rs the public agents can be assembled.
M. ADAMS is on his way from Petersburgh
u Stockholm. Mr.. RUSSELL was in that CT

gentlemen are yet to be apprized of The change
