X ontion, SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 1815. AMERICA. We are sorry to find that the infnrmatinn which we ex r:*ev;icely gave the ee weeks since. of the intention of the Ame rican Govei nment to " avail itself of t'se absence of Admiral Cochrane in the south to detach squadron& from the noith," etas proved too correct. Several, it appears, are now at sea; bat, as to their numbers or names great uncertainty prevails. We trust a good watch has been kept on the two ships of the line. Their union with two or three heavy ft igates, might be productive of the most serious consequences. But, ilailv accounts must be expected, as well as of this circumstance,.as of the result of the New Orleans Expedition—an expedition, we repeat, in which, if the inhabitants do not join us uno an 24 , 10 et una voce. we have every occasion to fear, will turn out as disastrous as any in our annals. We thus, it is to be feared, shall close our military with as much disappointment as our diplomatic career. Of this ;rah we daily have too many proofs, and in addition to the intelligence already arrived of the Congress and Constitu tion being at sea, a fart allowed by the Admiralty, pirivate accounts are said to he in tcwn of a 90 gun ship bay ing left one of the harbouts of the United States. By a reference to The .Vational Register of the Bth, it wilt be zee') that both the 90's %vete in a state of preparation for sea, and it should appear that sufficient attention had not been said t" he blockade of the northern ports, while all the fleet was busy in the Gulph of Mexico! Ht urly accounts may be expected of the result of the Congress at Hartford, which was to meet the 15th ult. and ue hope that the state of •the finance, and the important de el4ration " of the non-existence of such an idea as national c'editi" will effiird them such a stimulus as to unseat Mr. Madison, and save him the trouble and ourselves the disgrace attached co the . ratification of the Trcaty of Ghent. ~.;~.. I- F • . mr .m.••••=. CHANNEL The following is an extract of a letter from Plymouth. dated Jan. 20, received yesterday :—" The Opossum brig of war arrived here this morning from the westward, bringing an account, that two American frigates are cruising at the entrance of the Channel, which has caused a great bustle here in getting the men of War ready for sea. The Centaur, 74,Plicebe and Hyperion frigates, and several sloops of war, ' are to sail immediately in pursuit." FRENCH PAPERS To the Qsth inst. arrived yesterday afternoon. The follow ing is the substance of their contents :—The Duke of %Wel lington left Paris on Tuesday morning. Lord Castlereagh was still at Vienna on the 15th, and it was not generally known in that city either that his Lordship was about to take his departure, or that the Duke of Wellington was to replace him. Of the Congress of Vienna we have as little information as we have had from the beginning. Every arrival bids us ex pect that the next will bring os decisive news. The neat re.. fen us to a future one. It is, as was said of the conversation of a particular person, "a constant renovation of hope, with a perpetual recurrence of disappointment." One of the papers. alluding to a stormy conference on the 20th December, says, that since that period gloom and ill humour have prevailed, and that once or twice the Ministers have been on the point of quitting Vienna. But this was a ruse to obtain some fr esh concession, and still we are told. " they are loth to depart " Lord Castlereagh is represented as having presented a very energetic note to Prussia against the union of Saxony. Prussia, instead of replying to I,,orti Castlereagh, addressed an equally strong note to Prince Metternich, considering, as the Paris Paper adds, Austria to be really the author or instigator of the note, though it ptur ported to come from Lord Castlereagh. It is said, that the Sovereign of Elba is so peacefully dis posed, that he is selling part of the 260 pieces of cannon, which he found in the island. The settlement of Switzerland is said to he completed. Fier independence is confirmed, and she is to consist of 29 " Cantons. Berne is to have Pienne and the Bishopric of Basle as an indemnity for the Pays de Vaud. General Bertrand, Buonaparte's Minister, who had come from Elba ineoz. was on the point of being arrested. • French Funds, 78 77i. FROII SPAIN There are indication; of a return to a more temperate, tt more judicious, and, to king Ferdinand, a much more use, lot principle is about to be adopted. The cause, the dread ful lose of the colonies, which an attention to the common dictates of prudence are yet to be kept in strict alliance wit 4 the Mother Country. ST. DOMINGO. From this quarter we have no recent intelligence, at least, none of sufficient importance to call for peculiar animadver. sion. But, in our opinion, the question is so totally misun derstood, that, we are induced to give our sentiments upon it. If we are to judge from Count Lemonade's manifesto, and King Henry's proclamation, we should imagine'that a protracted contest, if any, would ha- the result. But we do not expect that France will have recourse to STOW To arts will she trust, and, in the natural animaidAyix i . : gb stimg between the ncgro and mulatto race, will we have Do %Aid means • ai4 . •• V ": .~ . ;
