We do not find, in our file of Enp-1 majedy’s recollection the melnncho-

of London, had been permitted to be i lant commander Sir John Moore ;
prefented to his majelly. In confe-1 ignorant alike of the date and difpo-
quence the Lord Mayor held com- i fition of the Spaniards, and the force

fpirited refolutions were paffed. The! being Cent to the interior of Spain,
Lord Mayor informed the Livery j was in immenent danger of being
that the remembrancer had called at captured •, in this critical emergency
the Secretary of State’s office with and date of agonizing perplexity,
the addrefs, and an intimation that I abandoned to his own refources,
it was intended to prelent it on the! this haplefs but meritorious officer

to his majelty. On the levee day the
Lord Mayor told the Secretary of

of his ammunition, horfes, fpecie,
and baggage, and harraffid and af-

facrifice of his own invaluable life.
Deriving no benefit from expert-
State, that he then had the addrefs e nce, a third well appointed army,
in his pocket, and wiflied to nrefent
it. I’he Secretary faid it was bed to
give it to him, and he would favc the
Lord Mayor all further trouble. To
which his Lorddiip replied, that he
would not confent to prefent it to
any one except the king in perfirm ;
and that it was the willi of both
hin.felf and the Sheriff., to do it in
any way which would fave his tna-

ready taken and exprefled as to the

where, after an unprofitable difplay
of Britifh valor, and -a driadful

was compelled to feck its fefety by a
precipitate retreat before (ivhat we
were led to believe) a vanquifhed

AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
It is witli very sincere fatisfaction
that we have to announce, that there
are Hill fome hopes of conciliation
with America. Ii may be collected
from the language of the miniiterinl
papers, that government is about to
fend a negotiator in the place of Mr
Jachfon. Fverv one mud approve of
this determination. The dignity of
the country is not'compronnfed by
confultitig its interelts in preference
to the petulance of its agents Every
account fcoins to agiee, that the con
duit, and Itilt more the tone ot Mr.
Jackfon, has been unneceffariiy of
fen five. Ii fuch be the real Hate of
the cafe, no one can furely contend |
that the miuiftry at home ought nut ' facilitating this moH
to have more prudent confidcrations j extendve connection between the
tinent than a recital of the folk.wit g
circumRances wit ch we have gteat
pleafure in giving to tlie public.
On Monday, the 7thinR. arrived

the whole diflatice, except ahem- 30
miles, to wit: down the Miff..uri

thence down the Miffiffi pi and up

that place acrofs to Cumberland in

Cumberland down the P torrac to
