LATsT FROM ENGLAND.

The British Packet Frolic, Lieut. Barron. ar
rived at this port yesterday, in 80 days from Fal-
mouth, with dispatches for the British Charge
des Affairs at Washington. The dispatches
were immediately forwarded by special mes
senger. The presumption is, that these des-
patches relate to tile late negotiations between
the two governments, O., the subject of the slave
trade.
The Frolic having been employed as Des-
patch vessel, did not bring the mail, which we
understand was to be forwarded by the Eclipse
Packet, to leave Falmouth on the regular day.

arranged such items of intelligence as appear the
most important.

9uire reinforceinents to the amount of so or Co.,
600 men to maintain order and tranquility to
