In behalf of the commissioners, I am your obedient servant, ' ELIE, WILLIAMS. The latest accounts 'ram London, state positively, that all the poinds of our differ- ences with Great-Britain had been amicably and ''on- rably adjusted ; excepting; on the qiMBtion, how far shall the neutral flag pro- t.-ff persons sailing under it ? Messrs. Mun- r<"o and Pinekney contend, with dignity and firmness, that the neutral Hag protects all persons sailing beneath if.—Whereas, the h ministers (lords Auckland and Hol- land) offer to recognize the principle, that the American flag should protect American citizens :—And that they were willing to explain the word citizen to embrace the na- turalized, as Well as the natural born citizens. This app- ared to be the situation ol the ques- tion at the last dates :—And Messrs. Mun- rc-e and Pinckncy declared their confidence in the sincerity and friendly disposition of tha British ministers.—Nay, our last letters, (Oct. .16th,).' 6tate, the belief that the basis of a treaty had heen laid ; and, there was ao doubt, would be signed, as soon as the •news of the virtual repeal of the non-im- portation law should reach England.

At ten o'clock this morning our brave Catalonians, the Blandengues and dragoons on fool attacked, the enemy at all points. Our artillery -vas placed fronting the Reti- re, and several 24 pounders fronting every street, taking the enemy between two fires. The attack continued very hot till evening, when the British flag was pulled down and the Spanish hoisted. The enemy surreu-, dered themselves prisoners of war. but the officers are to. have the honors. The British general and officers were quartered in seve- ral houses, and the troops locked up in the corporation houses. The enemy has had many killed and wounded ; and we have also had great loss.

Aug. 1.—Last night a detachment of 500 Engii-h attacked 200 Spaniards, en- camped 4 leagues tiom the city, and made Jhem leave the field, with 4 cannon and 8 prisoners : few Were killed or wounded qn either side. 5th—Our transports crossed from Sa- cramento to the river of Las Conchas, with .a favorable SE. wind, and landed 27QO men, with cannon, other arms, &c. 8th-:—Yery heavy rain from the 6th un- til last night.

At 4 o'clock the following letter was sent to the British general : •; Very excellent sir, " The fate ol arms is variable —it is less than a mouth since your excellency took this capital without any opposition ; attaefc- ing; vviui a very small number of troops a multitude of people, who surely were more deficient, of a good commander, than cou- lo oppose your intention : but at pre- sent, penetrated by the highest enthusiasm lor, they are ready to throw off a il yoke, and to demonstrate that the courage shewn by the inhabitants of Ferrol, the Canary islands and Porto-Rico, is not a stran rer to those of Buenos- \yres.

It is said that the house of delegates of this state have passed the school bill, 49 •¦ I to 17-—haw voted an appropriation of tvt thousand dollars for the erection of a penitentiary, 31 to 29—that the journil of accounts was ordered to be closed, and thbt tlie legislature were to have adjourned on Friday or Saturday last. from the Secretary of the treasury, respect- ing public lands, widen, was referred to the committee 0:1 public lands, A memorial was presented from David Gelston, collector of the port of New-York, stating that owing to the frauds of persons holding American registers, in covering fo- reign vessels, he had been induced, by the advice of the United States' attorney, to seize some vessels, on suspicion of their be- ing foreign property ; but that not being able to produce sufficient proof, suits had heen commenced, and damages awarded against him, to the amount of 9974 dollars, and praying congress to grant him indemni- fe-.ition. Referred to the committee of ways and means. Mr. Dawson, from the committee to whon ¦was recommitted the " 15ill to provide for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," made a report, to strike out. the 3d section of the bill. Referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday. Mr". Dana rose and observed, that four suits were pending against persons, in cases not provided for by the coustitutisu or laws of the United States, but were carried on under the common '<;w of England : two of these suits were against printers, for pub- lications in their p.ipers ; and two were against clerical characters, for words which they had uttered. He wished to know, whether persons accused should not be al- lowed to give the truth in support of their charges. Under the common law, nothing further was necessary to be done, than that the publication or assertion should be proved to have been made : the truth c.f them was not allowed to be given in evidence. He then submitted the following resolution : Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether prosecutions under the common law should be sustained in the courts of the United States, for libellous publications or defamatory words touching persons holding offices or places of trust under the United States, and whether it would not br- proper, if the same should be sustained,' to. allow the party prosecuted the liberty of giving the truth in evidence ; and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Mr.lV.na moved that the resolution be re- .0 a committee of the whole house. This motion was opposed by Mr. Bidwell, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Smilie, on the ground that it would bo improper to refer it to a ce-uiittee of the. wdiole before it was re- ferred to a select committee. It was sup- ported by Mr. J. Clay, who 3aid that by the seMkm. law a man was allowed to give tfie truth in evidence, which was not the case under the common law, as it had been acted upon in a certain district of the union : under the latter, therefore, a man was in a worse situation than he would have been under the farmer, The question was then taken on referring the resolution to a committee of the whole house, and it was carried in the affirmative, and made the order of trie day for Thursday. Mr. J. .Clay, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of sundry paten- tees, reported " a bill for the encouragement of learning and the promotion of the-usefuj arts," which was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole house on Tues- day next. On motion, resolved, That a committee [of-seven members] be oppointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what further pro- vision ought to be made bylaw for prescrib- ing the manner in which the public acts( records and judicial proceedings of one state shall be taken in other states, and the effect thereof; and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
