It was reported last night in the City, that accounts had been received of the death of BONAPARTE-but :re have not becn able to trace them to any authentic !ource. Yesterday, at two b'ckck, the Committee of Ame rican Merchants, agreeably to the notice given, met at the City of London Tavern, when the result of repeated interviews between the Lords of Trade and Messrs. BARING, NIACKENZIE, GLESKIE and MULLET, was laid btfore them. We shall not repeat the various misstatements that have been circulated, but shall content ourselves with laying before our Readers the substance of the NEW ORDER 19 COUNCIL, As communicated in writing by the Lords of Trade t) the above Gentlemen, and to Mr: SANSOM, the Chairman of the American Committees COPY. " The Order in Council of the 26th April, IRO, after a fed. !al of the Order in Council of the 11th November, 1807, and a rc!ference made to the subsequent Orders of the 25th November and 18•11 December, IEO7, and the 13. h March, 1609, revokes and annuls the said several Orders, except as therein after ex cepted: It then proceeds tb order, that all the ports and places under the Governments of Holland and France, together with the colonies, phmtations, and settlements in the possession of these Governments, and the ports of Italy, North of Orbitello and Pe saro, shall continue and be subject to the same restrictims in goint of trade and navigation, without any exception, is if the same were actually blockaded by his Majesty's naval forces in the most stritt and rigorots manner; and that any vessel trading from, and to the said Countries or colonies, plantations, or set tlements, togethi r with all goods and zuerchandize on board shall be condemned as prize to the captors. It is further ordered' that if any vessel shall be captured afti-r the day of the date of t te Order, in a voyage prohibited by the former Orders, but Mhkh prohibition is by the rresent Order revoked, such slip thall Le released: " And ii is further ordered, that no vessels shall be liable to rapture, for being in a voyage not prohibited by the former Orders, but which is not permitted by the provisions of thii Ord( r, ur.h ss su:l4 ve sscls shall have received actual nrrice of the present Order, er t rtil after the tt.me interval allowedlcr retire in the Creers of the 25th of November, 1507, 16th of hia7 ; 15C8.

" With re:pect to the explanations entered into respecting the esti:tit of protection, which it may be deemed expedient to afford at the present jNoctcre to the commerical intercourse with the United State, :heir Lordships will be very ready to give any further infarmatton which any of the American Merchants may ,c.sh to obtain."—April 38, 1809. TnesdAy se'nnight, am Address was transmitfed to ~LDSICI WA n1D1.1: from the inhabitants of Xiimittoock. it was signed by. upwards of 800. Letters have 1);_!n received from Rio Janeiro to the KS tilt. British manufactures were at that time in general 10 per cent. under the invoice price, and the - .urns could only be procured from that part of the Poi-ttiguese settlements in the single article of hides. By a later from Carlshanius, dated the ISth of fi prl, we learn, that serious apprehensions are enter zliAt in a vi•ry slic,rt time all British shipping 4:11 be excluded front the ports of Sweden. This prchibition to our navigation is expected to be one of t:.e first regulations to be announced'aftcr the of the arproitching diet. i friE DUKE OF SUSSEX Allb LADY AUGUSTA MURRAY, NO* BARONESS D'AMELAND: Considerable interest was excited this :horning,' in consequence of a report that the CHANCELLORS deci sion would be given in public, in the suit wheitin their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge are opposed to the Lady Au gusto, (daughter of the late Earl of Dunmore,) who, 'our Readers will recollect, was married to the Duke of Sussex some few years Since at Rome:— The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered his judgment in a private room, from which all persons but the parties, their Counsel, and Solicitors, were excluded by his Lordship's express order. We could not learn the particulars, but the chief question we understand to have been as to the custody of the children, the issue of the marriage. The object, we hear, was to remove them from their• mother, who contended that she had the right of custody, having maintained them for many years, and under circumstances of the greatest distress, when the Duke went abroad. We cannot say what the decision is, but we believe we may antici: pate it, as Lady Augusta followed the CHANCELLOR from his rooms apparently much agitated, and was led away by her brother, the present Earl of Dun ' more, and some other of her noble friends. One of the children, we are told, is a beautiful little girl, about seven years old. The son is a most interesting youth, in his 16th year. We just caught a view of him in Court on the last hearing. He is said to have petitioned the Chani..rilor in behalf of his mother, and to have expressed his unhappiness at the' : idea of being removed from a parent to whom he is ,so strongly attached.—Lady Augusta. was in deep • mourning for her late father, the venerable Earl of ' Dunmore, who died a few weeks back. Some of our cotemporaries have intimated an opi nion that the CHANCELLOR has no power to hear a Cause in private, but they are mistaken. His Lord ' ship has that power, and particularly on the request of parties concerned ; and in this instance such request was made by Sir ARTHUR Ploorr, Counsel for the Royal Dukes. Mr. TRORE is said to have pleaded very eloquently in behalf of Lady Augusta, at the former hearing. His Majesty's ship PIP:MX sailed yesterday from Portsmouth, with a fleet of transperts under convoy, for Portugal. Monday the Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, com manded by Lord FRANCIS SPENCER, and the Wood stock Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-C lonel BLACKSTONE, were inspected in Blenheim-park, by Colonel KANE. The 71st regiment which marched yesterday from Ashford, also moves this day to occupy the barracks quitted by the 50th, at Brabourne Lees. The Ist battalion, 50th regiment, halted at Dover yesterday on their route from Brabounte Lees to Ramsgate. By our letters from Ireland we learn, &at the vo lunteering there has been most successful : the popular corps there, could have got three times the Lumber allotre2. to them, viz. the Royal Irish, Inniskillings, fir John Doyle's Irish Heroes, and the Connaught Rl:ngers —the last is Marshal BERESFORD'S own regi ment. It is said that the Royal Irish Regiment will get a 3d battalion, and that the Inniskillings, Lord MOIRA'S Regiment, will immediately get a 4th battalion ; that Sir Jolts DOYLE will get a 3d battalion to his regi. ment ; and that the Connaught Rangers will likewise get a 3d battalion. Sir GI:OROE PREVOST and his Staff from North Ame rica, kith the 78th and 23d regiments, have returned to Halifax. The 13th Foot remains in the West Indies. Sir GEORGE took back with the gallant Brigadier- General DA N Er, HOUGHTON, Colonel CAmpatta., Ad jutant-General, Major LECiERT WOOD, Dep u ty Q uarter - Master-General, and Doctor BLACKWELL, Deputy- Inspector of H(.spitals. The Hon. Brigadier-General remains on the Staff in the West Indies. An American Gentleman now in London, who left Bilboa on the 2lst ult. states, that at that time the French had only 500 men in garrison there. They were actively engaged in transporting all the rno-:eable property, either as British manufactures, or under pretence of their being so. From Bilboa he proceeded along the coast to the port of Santander, which he left on the 31st of the same month. At that port tha French had only 400 men capable of doing duty, and at least luoo in the hospitals. Dis ease had made great ravages in the armies of the enemy. Extract of a letter from the Captain of the Unity, to her Owners in England : " GENTLEMEN, " Lisbon, April 8. " I am sorry to inform you, that on the 99th ult. the French army got possession of Oporto, in consequence of which we were obliged to abandon the Unity, after I had received a wound. I have on my arrival here noted a protest, and as soon as I can get it extended, will forward it to you. The English are marching against Oporto, under the comniand:of General Beresford, and every one here has great hops of its being taken. I shall wait here until I hear what progress thf..y make, in hopes of gaining th e Unity again. She was fully laden with 252 half Vipes of wine.— The convoy will sail from hence in two days for Britain. The French stormed the city, and spared neither man, woman, or child.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of GLoo cesvEtt, and several distinguished fashionables, took a private view of the Exhibition at Somerset-House.— The Pictures this year are many of them excellent, ' and the progress of British genius is very conspicuous, Yesterday a meeting of the Whip Club took place in Cavendish-square, previous to their departure for Salt-hill, where they dined. From the wetness of the day, but twelve equipa ges started, a m o ng w h ntri we noticed Earl SEFTON, Mr. SUXTON, and billet a• 1 tcurs, Sir JOHN LADE accompanied Earl &STOW in his batonche.

M. on a rock detached from the Sunken Island ; in lat. 15. 38. N long. 94. 20. E. Diamond Island bearing W. byN. distanrabout three miles ; Sunken Island bear iies S. W. by S. distant one mile and a quarter. But 1 feel my self still happy in saying, the passengers, officers, and ship's come pany (lists of whom I have the honour to subjoin), with the ex ception of six Europeans, seven Chinese, and three Lascars, were all saved, and have been received by Captain Henan, of the Earl • • Spencer. The deplorable state we were all in, having nothing but the clothes we h:td on,'itft most ample room fur the display of hit gent rosity. I now further beg leave to intrude upon your Lord ship a detail of this most melancholy catisirophe. " About ten minutes before five o'clock A. M. on the ith of November, when on our station on the starboard quarter of the Monarch, with the Earl Spencer in company, having hove' the lead and got ground in twenty fathoms, mud and fine sand, 1 I went over to leeward, and saw breakers en the starboard beam, and a-bead, I immediately hauled the ship close to. the wind, but unfortunately, notwithst an di ng our exertions to crearthe reef, we ' I struck, about five A. M. on a rock detached from Sunken Islands the other two ships passing considerably wi.hin had. The Cause of their escape, I believe, was from my hailing and firing guns.-- At this time the mizen mast went is feet above the board. The ship then bilged on the starboard side s and in about five mimitea. we lost the rudder, and the stern posts gave way. Finding it int. , possible to get the ship off, I ordered the main foremast and spare anchol-s to be cut away, and threw ever the starboard guns, to • case her. I then sent an officer down to secure the packets ; which I regret was impracticable, as the water was level With the gun deck, part of which had given way. " As it was now day-break, and we clearly could distinguish the ships standing on their course, we hoisted our ensign to the stump of our mizen-rnast, with the Union downwards; but not seeing that to have any effect, Situ only resource was in our boats, which, with the greatest exertions of the Offisers and crew, Hi ing no masts left to which we could affix tackles, we were obliged to cut the gunwale down, to launch the long-boat, and by dint of strength—a labour which was rendered doubly difficult by the uneasy state of the ship, the sea having by this time made a complete breach over her.—By seven o'clock 1 had the lisp piness to see all the Ladies, passengers, and crew, with the exception of the sixteen men mentioned, in the boats. The weather was so extremely squally, and a heavy sea running, I tkought it not safe to allow more than 93 persons in the launch, she being so extremely d2ep, and 18 in the cutter; but ordered the jolly-boat back, though she was also very crowded - , and !o entleavous to bring off as many of those remaining as pos sible ; which I am sorry to say, from their obstinacy in persisting on not coming without their baggage ; the Officer was mettle to effect, excepting three. When we put off, our situation was still mare distressing, as Captain Hawes, of the Monarch, the senior . Officer, followed by the Earl Spencer, had gone to so great a distance, that we could not discern the ships. I had in my pocket • a compass; and steering AV. S. W. in about an hour and a half descried them at a distance of about 10 or*ll miles. The boats shipping much water, kept us constantly bailing, Which gave me at one time much apprehension, from the' severity of the wea ther, of our not being able to reach then. 'But to our great joy, about 11 A. M. we were all safe on board the Earl Spencer. " I cannot close my letter without mentioning to your Lord slita the extreme good conduct of my Of fi cers and ship's company, whose behaviour throughout this disastrods and dreadful scene was most exemplary. I must alsu beg leave to call n e ar Lordship's attention to the most distressing start-of myself, otiltrs, psesen-. gors, and crew Samong whom are several ladies) 4VitO have All.lost every thing we possessed. • " I must also humbly solicit your Lordship to order as early an investeation as possible of the cause of the loss. of the Travers. As I conceive no blame can attach to me, I have no deuhe but I shall be able to give your Lordship a satisfactory justification of jmy conduct in the wh o l e of this unt ortunare business.-1 te.ve I the honour, &c. (signed) ‘# J. CuLLIN S." It must be satisfactory to the Public to kanw, that two of his Majesty's ships were dispatched several days ago to the spot whim the wreck of the Travers was lett, in the hope: y et affording assistance to the whole o; a part of the unhappy people •who re mained. As both Drowned and Diamond Islands were in ti.ght tram them, and neither distant upwards of a Lague, there is some Chance that a part of the people may be saved. Diamond Island abounds with Turtle, on which those who may be so Mit:mate as to reach that Island may for sonic time sul,sist. STATE OF THE WRECK WHEN LEL'It AT NAL! PAST SEVEN t A. M. All masts gone, rudder and stern-posts given way, her gun deck blown up, and full of water, her sides completely open, broke dowel right abaft the fore-hatchway, broke down abaft the capstern, sea making a complete breach over her ; only pat remaining whole was arnidstiipe of the mainsdeck, and. was apparently giving way very fast ; of the 16 souls left on board, six 'were Europeans, seven Chinese, and three I.ascars.
