from the depéts assembled in Flanders, and 
the ges d’armes, formed a corps of 8000

never entertained the idea of restoring the 
kingdom of Poland. © What he has done for 
New Gallicia was prescribed to him by sound

to the vengeance of an implacable prince,

The disputes between Great Bilis’ 
and the United States of America, have 
been exasperated by some late corre 
spondence between the Ainerican Secre- 
tary of State and Jackson, the new Bri- 
tish minister. The consequence has been 
that Mr. Jackson has been forced ta 
take a-hasty departure from the United 
States; and great apprehensions have 
been entertained of a! rupture taking 
place hetween the two countries.
