GEO : CLINTON,
VicePresedent of the United States, and
President of the Senate, Ferbuary 26 1810. APPROVKD, JAMES MADISON. BY A LATE ARRIVAL A T CHARLESTON, March IC.
The ftiip Savannah cf Bath, arrived at
Amelia illand or Tuelday laft, in 42 days
trom Liverpool failed January 22.
i nc ieiers ana paptr3 by this amvsi are
trom London to the 20th, and from Liver
pool to the 22d January ; the pipers howe-
ver are not in a regular fenes but a lew
fcattering dates having reached us, and the
;)UUlc are indented tor the extrafts which
we this day furnifh, to the politcnefs of a
t r-
mercantile r.ouie in this city.
i ne rum prominent article of intelli
gence which this anival furnifhes, is the
report contained in all the letters, and pa
ers, that a treaty or convention has been
arranged at Paris, bet ween our minifter at that court, and the French government.
And although wr have nothing official on
the fubjetf) wc think i; derive a degree of
ftrejigth from the article , under the Paris head, in this day's Courier. Another change in the miniftry was confidently expected, and it was believed that mr. Canning and lord Melville, would take a leading part in it. A diflolution of the prefent parliament was an event very generally looked for in which cafe it was faid that mr. Canning would be fupportcd as a member of the houfe of commons, to reprefent the city of Liverpool. ! An account of the capture of the illand of Bourbon, by the Britifh, on the 21ft of September, and the taking of feven Ihips of war, one of them of 100 tons, and the whole together amounting . to 3118 had been received in England.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Balfatere (St. Kitts) to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Feb. 24, 1810. "The arrival of the U. States brig Etna, in the Weft Indies, has given rife to a variety of conjectures, and although the object appeared to be a fearch for Brown, the ex-collector of Orleans, it was not, believed to be real. Our beloved Ddward
Byam, judge of the vice admiraltry court at Antigua (well known for his high regard
for Americans) got into a moil violent
rage, on account of an American velfd of
war having the audacity to anchor in Britifli waters he would not fte capt. Bainbridge, and told mr. T. Rofs, (the Ameri
can agent) that if the brig did not depart
immediately, he would- ordr one ot his
majefty's brigs to gallant her out. Bam-
bridge came down here from Antigua, and kicked up a terrible noife. Two of his
men runaway and he (very naturally) un
dertook to fearch for thrm ; fent his offi
cers on board all the veffel in the harbor
(not omitting his maiefty's fthooner) who
prefented his compliments . to the different
captains, defiring permiflion to overhaul
their vefiels for his men, which I behee
they all acceded to. Not finding them a
float, he came on more, and affifted by fome
men in town, at laft discovered them hoth
fleep in a grog fliop, tied their hands be
hind them, and took them on board his brig
the people here put themfelves into a
terrible rage, and fent word to admiral Cochran (at Guadlupe) who immediately
difpatched two faft failing brigs in quel) of
her, with orders to bring her to him, and
communicate the fame orders to all the vef-
fels of W3r on this ftation ; we have not
yet heard whether either of the brigs have
fallen in with her but have no doubt if
they do, it will be the caufe of a ferious
difturbance between the two countries, for
I am confident Bainbridge will not furren-
der without compelled by force.
You have doubtlefs heard of the capture
of Guadalopr, St. Martins and St. Eufta
tious, by the Britilh, which is all the news
wc have for you.
LONDON, January 15.
Rrpoits of a very unfortunate nature are
in circulation refpecling the laft accounts from the Eaft Indies. It is ftated that the
whole army of Madras is in a ftate of mu-
tiny, ana tnat mutineers have taken ootief-
fion of Seringapatam and Hydrabad. The king's troops, to the amount of 11,000 men, had been put in motion to fupprefs them, and reinforcements had bren fent from Ceylon and the Cipe for the fame purpofe. Other accounts, however, defcribe
ne oiiiuroances as having been by no neans fo formidable. We underftand that a letter has been re-
civfd from Prince of Wales ifland, from
an officer of diftincYion, which ftates that
it had been announced to upwards of 150
omcers ot the Maoras army " their lervices were no longer necefTary," in confequence, us the writer fays, of their having declared thtir determination, not to craw their fwords againfl their brother officers. It is ftated in letters from Madr;s of Auguft the I0th,and Ctylon the 22J, that the king's army, under the command of col. Hare, had taken the field againft the company's troops. We have heard that an American vefTd has been brought into Plymouth by one of his majrfty';, cruizer?, bavin- cn board a fecrct difoatch frem mr. Armftrong at Paris. to the fecretary and prefident cf the United States. This difpatch is ftated to be of an interefting nature, ar.d to difclcfe facts of the higheft importance to government. On the newi of the veHcl being brought in, mr. Pirckr.ey applied to milliners to al. hw the difpatch in oucftion to be delivered
unopened Into hU pofiVfiion. We havr not
been able to learn whether he iucceedeu in.
his application. The vrficl in queftion vas bound from Dieppe to America.

The kings and queens whom Bonaparte, had affembled at Paris, have taken wing, and are on their return to their refpecYive territories, leaving Bonaparte to make preparations for his intended bride, Jerome and his wife fct off on the 1ft, and the king
of Wirtemburgh and NapleiNrere to follow in a few days. The wits of Paris fay
that Jerome has magnanimoufly determin

hope of ifiue by his wife, his thinks ferioully or repudiating her, and of taking back
