The operations against the city being ended, Mnssena would have a disposable force of nearly 80,000 men, with a very formidable body ot cavalry, to attack less than1 half that number of, British. The Portuguese troops are 'numerous, but we know hot from experience in what 'point of competition they can be placed, with the French With this disproportion of numbers Massena would not hesitate to attack the idlied army, as soon as he could come up with it and unless the position occupied by Lord Wellington, w.is next to impregnable, he woiitd not risk a battle against such fearful odds but would retreat fi-om one" line of defence to another, until he obtained some impregnable situation, or could embark on shipboard- From the movements of the French corps it appeared vested that city the 30th May, wiili very heavy sleee artilley.

WASHINGTolCITYi September 7.

The rccal of 'Mr. Jrcksbn has been announced to our government in a letter from his Britannic Slajestjr to the President of the U. States. The' appointment of Mr. Morier, as his Britannic Majesty's Secretary of Legation to tlie United States, has been announced in a letter frnni Lord Wellesly to Mr.

Secretary Smith, with the further information, that Mr, Morier would act in the character of his Majesty's Charge des Affairs until the appointment of Mr. Jackson's successor. In the recal of Mr. Jackson by the British government will be found a compliance with the request made by the Executive of the U. S.

through our minister in London, delayed, it is true, longer than was necessary, nnd' so far unsatisfactory but yet such a compliance as has saved the rilministrationthe disagreeable alternative orderincr Mr Jaefcsnn nut of country, which course, had his recal, been refused, would have been 'justified by the usage'of nations, Contemporaneous with the recal is 'an official- annunciation that a successor will be appointed, and that Mr. Morier will act as Charge des Affairs until the successor shall arrive. It will be remarked, that in the manner in which Mr. Jackson hvs been recalled the feel-j ings of the American government appear to iiuvc uoeii respecieu, inasmucii as the recal is not announced, as. in ordinary cases, in the case of Mr.

Erskine for instance, through the minister himself, but directly from the sovereign, In the manner of Mr. Morier's introduction to the Executive, also, a desire is discovered to avoid the dilemma which must have resulted from the annunciation of Mr. Morier's appointment as Charge des Af-i fairs, in the usual mode, through the recalled minister. Had the British government been disposed to aggravate existing differences, it would have been left to Mr. Jackson to announce the 'appointment of Mr.

Morier as Charge des Affairs and, as the Executive I has refused to receive nnv further communi- cation from Mr. Jackson, the introduction of Mr Morier as the Renresentat ve of the British government could not have been received tliroughstlin.t medium. These circumstances, though indicative of uiajjosiiion to nvotu irritation, amount to but little. Should the British government unreasonably delay, the appointment of a suc- to ivir, jacKSon. it would int ground to suspect an intention to procrastin- vi(wlc cAjjianuHuns already too long delayed and would warrant the belief that tlie new minister's nomination was delayed with a view of being guided by subsequent events in the selection ot successor, or in the instructions with which he is to be furnished.

During tne dancing ol a Scotch reel, when the Emperor and Empress were at different parts of the, saloon, the drapery of a window curtain near the Emperor took fire from a candle. Many of the attending1 offi cers endeavoured to tear off the.

curtain, but the names ascended so rapidly as to'be in-, stantly out of reach. The Emperor immediately went to the Empress who was in her chair, where they were surrounded with the Austrian and other Stc. acquainted of their inger, and requested to retire which the Emperor did slowly, recommending calmness to disorder. The fire spread like lightning but the.avenue3 were numerous, and the comp.inv easilyescaped into the garden The separation, however, of mothers from heir daughters, who were dancing, occasioned scene of great distress and inquiry The tire was so vapid, thattheQuocn of Naples having fallen, was only saved by the presence of mind of ihe Grand Duke of Wat tzhurg. The Queen of Westphalia was carried from the saloon bv the King and Count Mettf.rnicu.

The Viceroy of Italy, with the Vicequren, perceiving the fall of the lustres and ceilings, escaped by a back door into the hotel. The Prince Kak akin, the Russian Minister, the Ladies of the Russian Consul, Baron Tousaho, and the Prefect of Istria, were' injured by falls. The Princess Pauline ScuwAnzRNDunc (sister-in-luw of the Austrian Ambassador) lost her life. She was among the last who rcmamed in the ball room, and was lending one of her daughters out, when a piece of burning wood fell on her daughter, which a man took up Hnd threw away. In the confusion, the Princess was hurried into the garden missing tier daughter! she flew in search of her, and heroically entered the burning saloon, where she perished, and was found the next morning grently disfignred, being known by her diamonds and the medallion of her children, which she wore on her neck.

Affairs of Holland. On the 1st July, previous to his abdication of the throne of Holland, the cidevant King, Louis addressed a long note to the Legislative Body of that mock kingdom in which he recounts the tyrar-nical measures directed by his brother, the Emperor of France, against Holland, in covering its territory with mercenary army, and gangs of French Custom-house Officers. He declares that it was his refusal to permit these gangs, contrary to to prowl over his kingdom, and his opposition to the 'occupancy of Am. stcrdam, by French troops, that had provoked his brother and Induced him (the Emperor to order troops to take possession of the capital. In this, situation Louis declares he could no longer wear the croivn, and had taken the fixed resolution to resign it in favour of his Sou, Louis Napoleon.
