Halifax, the schr. Thistle. Mr.. Samuel Parkman,
jun came passenger. Mr.. p. arrived at Halifax, on
the 9Th inst in the packet Osborn % days from
Falmouth We have been favored with London pa
pers TO May Ia, and Halifax papers to June 1.5.
Mr.. Parkman was informed from autho ity that
could be depended on that Commissioners were ap-
pointed to meet our Enjoys II was uncertain whe-
ther the negotiation would take place at Gotehburg,
IN London, or some other place. MIR. p. is the bear
er OF dispatches for Government, which are un-
doubtedly decisive as to the prospect Of the COM
mencement of the negotiation
letter from London, May Il, says, il is not of
hcially known that Commissioners are appointed to
meet our envoys but such is generally believed to
be the fact.
Another letter from gentleman in London dated
the l4th May, says "It is pretty well ascertained,
that Adm. Gambler, DR.. Adam and Mr. Hamilton,
are appointed on the part of the British Govern
ment to meet Commissioners"
LONDON, MAY At is now said that the powers
OF the Plenpotentiares from the United States arc
sufficiently extensive to justify them in the removal
OF the seat OF negotiation at Gottenburgh to the
Hague or to London, and that Messrs Bayard and
Galatin have been urgent with our Ministers, but
We believe fruitlessy to allow such removal"
May 12-Messrs. Hughes and Milngton are
rived at iarwlch, from Gottenburgh, with despatch
es from Messrs Clay and Russell, 10 Messrs. Gala
tin and Bayard. They were detained at Harwich
for want of passports. Messrs Bayard and Gallatin
certainly leave this country next week, to proceed
on their mission to Gottenburgh.

the American Legation at Gottenburgh, arrived in

NEw.YoRK, June l6.-Willian Cook, one
Of The crew OF the U. s. frigate Essex, taken
In prize by the Ho,spur frigate, called at the

Just before the arrival Of the Ho,spur Off
Montague Point, (having l7e prisoners OF

take possession of the ship. When ripe for

On Sunday, the British seaman aud marines
made prisoners at Sandy Creek, passed
through this city TO Greenbush. The officers
arrived some days before.
The British officers and men captured at
Sandy Greek speak in the highest terms OF
commentator Of Maj. Apling and his rifle
corps, TO whose humane and spirited conduct
they are probably indebted for the prcserva-
tion Of their lives. The Indians were FIRST 10
reach the enemy after they submitted, and
had commenced executing the savage rule OF
warfare, sanctioned by Anglo-lndia example
at the Raisin, Lewistown, Tuscarora, &c. o
numbering their prisoners, when the major
and his men happily arrived, and succeeded
| by prompt and determined course, though
not without violence, in terminating the ira
gic scene. An Indian chief is said TO have
given vent 10 his feelings on this occasion IL
language similar to the following :--" Wher
British come TO Buffalo, they kill white man
| they kill Indian, they kill woman, they burr
| all houses-wbeE British come here, you M
Let IpdIan kill hih--you give him cat--'hi
no good" May humanity continue TO char
| acterise tho American soldier, In despite o
the maxims of savage warfare ; and may th'
enemy, won by our examplc, restrain Prac
,ice which has so frequently disgraced th'
| character of his arms. .4ib. .frg.
