- WASHINGTON, May 3 1820.
Siti-y-lir. Watkins, late 4lh Auditon
was'brought here yesterday by an- officer,
having been arrested in Philadelphia, at
: he suit ofthe. United States. The affida
vit of Amos Kepdall, the present 4ih Au

ed, and.believed hy hint, to have madecer

which were not authorized, -arid .the pay
ment, of which has rendered Limp defaul
ts tn tho amount of4200 dollars.. In the
last fortnight, this city has been agitated,
bv rumours connected with this business!-
The defalcation litis been stated at various
amounts, from 9 to 30.000 dollars. Rut
the, affidavit shews.it to be but 4200 dollars
supposing,that Dr. Watkins may not be a-
blc to cxjijain the transactions. But that,
he wiUyxplain them so far as to shew that
he has n'ot acted dishonorably, nor in bad
faith id his public office, his friends here
ire very confident. , . - , ■
■ He lias uiiiformly sustained an unexcep-
tinnableiqharpdter ipr integrity,, and- it is
believed,that hud,he been disposed now to
put that reputation at hazard, he. would;’
at least, have taken some trouble to prevent
an exposure, which if guilty, he mnst be
aware would not only be'inade bv liis.poli-
tioal enemies who are now in'power, but
would be used in evorv possible way to in
jure tlie Doctor,and to ruin the cause with
which he was conuceted.
The Doctor had left this city for the pur
pose of raising among Ids' friends, money
tn purchase the Katlonul Journal. He hud
been successful in a great degree, and had
readied Boston, " hero he expected to be

presented themselves in superior numbers,
armed with clubs, &c. They attacked Ihe
French even iri the houses, and were fre
quently,. assembled at Villa Carlos, (two
miles from Mahon)-a ml- there'Atiaeked at
different limes Ihe sailors attached to the
brig Fauna, and M. M'-ynard, a midship
man was killed. . The impunity with which
they ingtle their first attacks doubtless en
couraged the Americans, and we eannot
but regret (tie conduct of superiors who did
not;take any measures to prevent - these
quarrels! The conduct of tboso men has
'excited the indiunation of the inhabitants
of Mahon and Villa Carlos, who have as I
sored the authorities of the country; thar
tlie French sailors were .id’no case the ag
gressors, and solely acted on tho-defensiVe.
Several saildrs'of both nations, were killed
and a great number were seriously wound

suggests.—The’ Flench navy has lost one

AMSTERDAM, March 24.
There is no great change in Cotton,
Our prices have for a while been above the
Liverpool rules, which has made the pur
chasers rather reluctant to lay nfmitcli, es
pocially as we arq at the time of the year
that further supplies may bo looked for.
Onr present- quotations nro about 87, '30,
for good Upland, but (hat piri-e is in !a de
gree nominal, the offqnr generally ruling
something lower. Late arrivals nro prepit

(transactions nlpeli will then form a better
