On the levee day the Lord Mayor told the Secretary of at length difeovered that they h id no fafery but in flight—with the'iofs of his ammunition, horfes, fpecie, and baggage, and harraffid and af- failed on all fidee, he fecured the re treat of his gallant followers, by the 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- jedy mod trouble. The Secretary laid the king’s pleafure had been al ready taken and exprefled as to the Spirits of rut pen- mode of prefenting it One of the ‘ t j ne< Sheriffs then demanded an audience of his majelty, which the Secretary i fervants of the crown replied could not be granted, except j reac t, 0 f j u (Vi C e, your Onodeldoc, Effence of Pepper Mint, Tooth Brufiies, Tooth Powder, Lip Salve, Sugar Candy, sealing Wax, •Vafers, &c &c under tlit command of Sir Arthur Wcllefley, was Iturried into the inte rior of Spain, alike ignorant of the force and movements of the enemy ; where, after an unprofitable difplay of Britifh valor, and -a driadful fl.tighter, this army, like the former, was compelled to feck its fefety by a precipitate retreat before (ivhat we were led to believe) a vanquifhed •foe, leaving thoufands of our Tick and wounded countrymen in the hands of the enemy.

T^that, while we forbear enume rating a long train of interna' gri. v ances, eye cannor but attribute i'ucli a feries of failures and difalters to the abufes and corruptions of the Rate, and the confequent want of a conditutional control over the pub lic expenditures, and the fervants of the crown, whereby the refponfi- biiity of minifters appear to exiit only in name.

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.
