With respect to the Americans who compose the crews of the con fiscated vessels, lus Majesty has di rected his minister of the marine to procure passages for them, in or ,dtr that they may return to Ameri .ca. I flatter myself, sir, that the alte rations which may take place in th ents, denying the power of the House o.f Commons to imprison the people of England. Presuming our read ers are anxious to learn the cause which gave rise to the letter of the Baronet ; we have collected the fol-j lowing information from the accounts received at New-York. A Mr. John Gale Jones, it appears, wrote and published certain strictures on the pr oceedings of the House, & a few of its members. Being cited to appear before that tribunal, he acknowledg ed himself the author of the re marks in question ; ami stated, that he was not actuated by any sense of disrespect to the privileges of the House, or the persons of any of its members individually—that he had ,110 moMv". in mentioning the names :f Ameri- c f tne members alluded to, save that they happened to be connected with a subject of public discussion—Sc that lie alivavs considered it the privilege of every Englishman, to animadvert on public measures, and the conduct A oublic men. Mr. Jones was im- lis Ma-i;nediatelv committed to New-Gate without j ai i. Sir Francis Burdett on the 12tli March, after denying the right ol the House of Commons to commit Mr. Jones, moved that he be dis charged—but his motion was nega tived by a majority of 139. It was on this occasion, that he addressed his constituents through the medium f Cobbets Register of the 24th March, which lesulted in his confine ment. The affair of the unhappy Baronet must excite the strongest in terest in every generous mind. Hi has long been marked for his conspi cuous opposition in the councils oi England—for his noble stand against their encroachments and trespass on individual liberty. His spirited address to his constituents—his con finement in the Tower, must call to mind the spirit and immortal suf ferings of the Russels and Sidneys inj) former times. Sir Francis has for 'several years past been characterized for his probity—for his elevation a- bove the sordid and avaricious views of the British Ministry. The peru- ment. Washington.

Is it not time that the inhabitants of this place were adopting similar measures i Last Night's Mail wc re ceived no very interesting news.— The papers are principally filled with details of the arrest of Sir Francis Burdett, and the riot which ensued from it. The situation of our af fairs with Great Britain, is said to be almost totally unnoticed amidst the popular ferment in London. Nexvburyport, May 24. FROM CADIZ The schooner Fame, Captain Hoyt, fifty-four days from Cadiz, arrived at this port on Monday last. Captain Iloyt politely furnished us with the following intelligence. That it was the opinion of the Bri tish officers that Cadiz will be evac- tuatcd,as soon as the English pro perty is removed. Fresh provisons of all kinds are exceedingly scarce and high ; fresh beef, one dollar per pound ; candles forty-five cents per pound ; eggs one dollar per dozen ; and other articles proportionally dear.
