"BRITISH PARLIAVIENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Thi Deitish’ Parliament, July 20,
zed a vote of Credit to the Prince
Regeat, of 3000,0007,
Mr. Whitebread thought the war
with America would not be of long
“duration, if their advances were met |
‘with proper disposition, and asked |
whether Commissioners had yet been
appoiited. eb
"Lord Castlereagh said no time had
“bern lost on the part of England; in
‘appointing persons to meet the A-
‘merican envoys
. Lod Holand said it was to be la-
mented that England was still kept
“out of the blessings’ of peace. He
‘had thought on the late revolution at
"Paris, ghat the British seopie would
“have their burdens lightened; but
stiil nearly every expense was kept
up to'the war establishment.

‘on the 19th of July, the duke of Sus-
sex inquired of lord Liverpool — (st
“Whether the princess Charlotte,
~'since her removal to Carlton house,
“has had that degree of communica-
tion wit); her friends and connections
which she had previous to her leav-
ing Warwick house =-2d If the
princess, since her removal to Carl-
ton house, has had the liberty of com-
‘munication, in writing, of receiving
“and sending letters, and the use of
“her pens, ink and paper, that she had

“The ear] of Liverpool declined an-

SATURDAY, QCTOBER 22
August, 17.
The English -and the Auierican
_ ministers. treat each other with the
utmost respect and civility. = The ex-
change of their respective powers
took place at the Hotel des Pays Bas,
which had beer, chosen by mutual
consent for the purpose ; but, in fu-
ture, their conferences will take
place at the house of Lovendeghem,
the residence of the American minis-
ters \
Aug. 22.
Since the conversation which lord
Cystiereagh, first ministevof his Bri-
tannic majesty has had with the A-
metican envoys, and after the return
of a courier from London, the negoci-
ations of the congress have recom-
meiced, which had been, suspended,
and are continued with activity. Mr
Dallas, one of the secretaries of
the American legation, went yes-
terday to the Texel, with despatches
for his government, and is to embark
on board an American ship for Amer-
ica. There is every hope, that the
conferences will have a speedy and
favorable issye. : oh
Lord Castlereagh; proceeded last
Satucday to Brussels, with a suit of
20 carriages, he is to wai there 10
days, and proceed to Paris on his way
to Vienna.
Mr. Todd, son in Jaw to Mr. Mad-
ison and private secretary to Mr. Gal-
latin; arrived in this city yesterday.
: Paris, Aug. 17.
Mr. Crawford, minister plenipo-
tentiary of'the United States of Amer
ica delivered nis credentials yester-
day to his majesty.
Loudon August 19.
All the regiments to be embarked
at Cork for America, will be comple-
ted before the 24th of this month.—
Each regiment consists of 1000 men.
Most of those reginicuts belonged to
the division of lord Hill, who has
been particularly invited to accom-
pany them.
Our letter from Portsmouth of
yesterday morning, mentions the’
embarkation of flat bottomed boats
and provisions, has been counterman-
ded. It is possibie that the sailing
of the expedition for America has
been postponed ; or, perhaps, atten-
tion is required of some other articles
but, we are positive, that the post-
pouement cannot have been occasion-
ed by any flattering information from
Ghent. Even ifthe American com-
missioners had proposed any amica-
ble conditions, we are certain that the
ministers would not slacken the prop
arations for continuing the war.
The American privateers make
our coast, particularly the I: ish chan-
nel, very unsafe. Two vessels have
been dispatched after them, particu -
larly after one which has made a
great many prizes.
