Chelten'idnI, JuLy Q.
On Sunday evening, abou, o'clock. this
illustrious Chef, accompanied by Lord
Fitzroy Somerset, arrived in his barouche
at Cambray Lodge, where the Duchess
and family were ready to receive him.
The news of the Dukes arrival spread like
electricity in all directions, * in the course
of a few Minutes the la n in front of the
house was crowded with the best Company,
who greeted his arrival with continued
cheerngs. A triumphal arch was prepar.
ing at the entrance of Cambray, which was
intended to be decorated in the most en-
blemat:cal style but his Grace's coming
day sooner than was expected, defeated
the object proposed by the subscribers
namely, that of receiving him with every
possible mark of attention and respect
Comfortably to the Resolution of Meet
ing, held at the Tower-Hall on Friday,
Col Berkeley in the chair, general and
most splendid illumination took place o.;
Monday night in honor of his Grace's visit n
and ten barrels of strong ale were distribu-
ted.--Nevcr did the town OF Cheltenham
display so brilliant and festive a scene I;
all ranks seemed to vie with each other in
proofs Of affc ctionate respect for the sa-
viouro Europe.

We regret TO state that the venerable
Earl 81. Vincent has been considerably in

cred, though he has been much relieved by
bleeding, and is now able to sit up. Lord
St. Vincent is in his Esd year. and as he is
the last remaining, so is he also ths most
ilustrious of our great naval commanders.
Some mems good actions are said to follow
them his lordship has lived to see the be-
uefcial result Of many of his plans for the
improvement of the British navy and has
witnessed with his own eyes the unwilling
conviction Of his opponents, by the most un-
deniable of all tests---that of experience
Long may he continue 70 enjoy these and
every other earthly blessing

SEPARATION OF MAINE.

The question on this interesting subject,
was decided on Monday last We have
only verbal information from few towns
but we are told that more than two-thirds
of the votes will be in favor Of separation.
In this case, the Convention, chosen at
the same time, will proceed Immediately
to the formation Of Constitution of gov
eminent. CentineL.
The American and British Commission
ers appointed to settle the western boun-
dairy claims, are to meet in Portland in a
few days, and proceed from thence to St.
Andrews by water. They are Authorized
to appoint their Secretary, to employ sur
veyors, &c. and it is probable will not be
able to finish their business under one or
two years. If the Commissioners cannot
sgrce, their report is to be referred tosomc
friendly sovereign or state, whose decision
thereon is to be conclusive. After short
stay At st. Andrews, it is probable the
Commissioners will adjourn to Boston.

BY the arrival at Boston of the brig De-

diz, we learn that Mr.. Meade, the Ameri.
can Nice-Consul. (the particulars of whose
imprisonment have already been published
IN this paper, had not been set at liberty.
1t is to be hoped that the American Minis
ter, who had arrived at Madrid, would
take prompt and efficient measures topro-
cure his release. Capt. Prince states, that
a few days before he sailed, two Spanish
armed merchant vessels were chased into
Cadiz, by Buonos Ayres 20 gun priva-
teer. One of the merchantmen, Carving
1o guns, had fought the privateer, had 8
men killed. and escaped by superior SAIL

Fefe of 81. Louis.

Sunday the 25th of August, being the
fete of his most Christian Majesty the king
OF France. on Monday, the Goth, it was
celebrated on the BANKS of the Rariton, at
the country seat of Mr.. Hyde dc Neu
vile.
The dinner, to which many citizens of
the United States were invited, was spien-
did and the attendance was numerous.
After the appropriate toast of the day,
TO his Most Christian Majesty" was
given, the Minister arose and gave the fol-
lowing
g To the President and Congress, and
TO the prosperity OF the United States Of
America" His Excellency added. that
mis- Majesty Louis the 18th was and would
continue the friend to the American gov
ernnent, that his unfortunate brother Lou
IS the 10th had formerly proved"
The greatest cordially presided at the
repast, and the toasts evidently nanifes-
ted how strong the desire of all honest
men for perfect union between tie two
nations.
Many toas;s were given during the
day. among which we remarked the fol-
lowing
General George Washington & Louis
the 10th. To the memory of the first
President of the United States. and 70 the
memory OF Louis the leth--slie first friend
aud ally of America
To the. Clergy of the United States. ;"
This gave occasion to the last toast by
the minister, which we Hotice with much
pleasure.
Tolerance and union between men of
different reigions--To my fellow Protes-
tants of the South and other parts of
France" His Excellency added, "they
are the children of my sovereign they
enjoy in common with the rest of my
French brethren the full fruits of the pa
ternal government of his majesty Louis the
18th. They are not prosecuted for their
religious opinions, except in certain Foreign
Journals, which have had the hartiihood
and baseness to iabricate and circulate an
oaous Ca.umny. Yes sir, continued the
minister, addressing himself to a Rever-
end Bishop Of Jersey, present 1T the fete, }
declare on my honor that this is an afro
cious caumny no individual is prosecuted
on account of his religion; all kind Of wor-
ship are tolerated by law, and in fact p,a-
ces are open to all the favors aud kind
ness of the king my master, are shown to
Protestant and Catholic without regard to
other distinction than that Of merit, fidelity
and honesty"
The day concluded in the utmost harmo.
ny, and to the apparent satisfaction of the
minister and his respectable guests.
