LONDON, May 8
The arrangement with the Allied Pow
ers, under which there is to be no inter
ference by the Sovereigns of the Continent
in the pending war between G. Britain and
America, has, in the political circles, at.
tracted much notice, and some are dis
posed to attach much importance to it, as
Implying an intention or determination of
ministers resolutely to persevere in the
contest. II is we believe, completely as
certained that the British Government will
not treat with the American P!enipoten-
tlaries until the hostages in the u. States
are set at liberty.
The attachments proceeding to North
America have been ordered an extra supply
OF accoutrements, for which the Colonels
are to receive an decentralization.
Lord Gambler and Mr.. Hamilton have,
1t is said, been appointed Commissioners
to meet the American Commissioners. and
they are invested with full powers to neeo-
ciate a Treaty with the u. States. 1t is
believed, however, that they have instruc-
lions, with the settlement of the line of
boundary between the United States and
Canada-which may make it necessary for
the American Commissioner to refer to
their government for fresh instructions.
A number of the largest class of trans
ports are fitting out with all possible speed
at Portsmouth, as well as all the troop ships
at that port, for the purpose, it is supposed,
OF going to Bordeaux, to take the most eff
fective regiments in Lord Wellington's
army to America.
On Friday that well-appointed regiment,
the LIST. or Royal Scots, 1000 strong, EN-.
barked on board the Leopard, Capt, Crof
ton, and Diomede, Capt. Fabian, for
North America.
