The Africaine frigate on board of which Mr. Erskine is to embark for England, remains in Hampton Roads. Her departure we understand from good authority depends upon the arrival of Mr. Jackson's despatches from Washington. As she has already remained longer than was expected, it is surmised that Mr. Jackson has commenced his negotiations with our government and detains this ship in order to advise his government of the progress or probable result of those negotiations.

It is said that despatches from our government for Mr. Pinkney, which were sent down to go by the Africaine, have been returned.
