Two merchant vessels, the Russell and Gulliver, have arrived at Liverpool from New York. They bring American papers to the 26th ult. the contents of which are rather important. From all that we can learn there appears every prospect of a favourable ter. mination to the negociations now going on between Mr. Mosnoz and Mr. FOSTER : the former has even become unpopular in consequence of a cipposed par tiality for the French Cabinet ; and will, it is said, be removed from the office of Secretary of State in con sequence. FROM THE SIERCANTILI ADVERTISER OF THE 220 ULT. " The recent adjustment of the affair of the Che upeak is viewed at Washington as the precursor to a settlement of all the differences subsisting between this country and Great Britain. It is said that Mr. Foster has not only ample powers, but has expressed a willingness to enter on a negociation which shall have for its object an accommodation of all the diffe rences which have so long and so injuriously im. peded the harmony of the two countries ; and that, in consequence of tl-;se amicable manifestations, Mr. John Quincy Adams has been nominated by the Pre sident as Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of London, who is to be succeed ed at the Court of St. Petersburgh by George Wm. Erving, now in Denmark." " NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 21. INSURRECTION AT GUADALOUPE. " By the arrival yesterday morning of the brig Abeona, Captain Watson, ill 18 days from St. Croit, we learn, that an intended insurrection at Guadeloupe has been lately discovered, and the leaders arrested and secured. The scheme was planned by two Frenchmen, who, at the time the island was surren dered to the British, were permitted to remain on their parole of honour, without taking the oath of allegiance. One of these men, Davite, a merchant of high sun ding at Point Petre, was to have been, in case of suc cess, the Governor of the bland ; and the other, who was formerly an Aid-de-Camp to Ernouff, was to have been the Milit.rry. Chieftain. 6 . The insurgents have been pecretly supplied with five thousand stand of arms by a Merchant at Bartho ' lomews. It is said that the plan was thoroughly or ganized, and every part of it in readiness for execu tion, and that about an hour before the gentral slaughter was to have commenced, a violent dispute arose between the el o civil and military leaders, which disarmed them of their discretion, and led to a discovery of the plat.—These particulars were re ceived at St. Croix on the 21st of October, by a packet from St. Thomas's." The CA aotinifrigate, Captain Cilium COLE, which brought the dispatches from Batavia, made a very quick voyage home. She was only 91 'days under sail, seven of which she was in a calm, and seven in a gale of contrary wind. Excepting the Medusa, Sir Jonx GORE, which came home in 84 days from Ben gal (averaging 160 miles a day), perhaps it is the., shortest voyage ever made. It is mortifying to hear, that our gallant Army and Navy will not obtain that reward in prize-money, which their zeal and bravery induced us to wish they would, through the splenetic rage of General JANSENS, who directed the setting on fire of all the principal spice stores. They were burn ing for lour days before they fell into our possession by the storming of Cornelis. He likewise ordered the gnat store-houses to be laid open, in the hope that the rains would descend and destroy them. In this, however, he was disappointed, and these were the principal stores, with some granaries, which Sir SA -1 MEL AUCHMUTY says the army has been fortumte in preserving. Capuin FLINT, of the Royal Navy, was appointed the Agent for Government property. It is with ipleasure we hear, that the wounded 9f the Army and Navy were doing well. Toere appeased, gene. rally to be a tendency in the wounds to hest, which had rather surprised the Officers of the Medical De partment; the climate of that Island, as it had been understood, not leading them to such a favourable ex pectation. , . . . 0 ANHOLT MAIL. . - . ctasin(up the corps of effloiy; rand v paaVentit • —....... ;c. njosil• ared it best to remain : in Salamanta.

" Having learned that a corps of troops had marched from Salamanca on the 22d or 23d instant, in the direction for Serra da Franca, I ordered the advanced guard of our army to pass the river Agueda, removing my head-quarters at the same time ; I have reason to believethat the enemy have since retired from the Serra de Franca. "1 intend to order the troops to resume their former cantonments. " Since I transmitted to your Excellency my for mer dispatch of the 20th instant, I have heard that General Blake, having joined at Valencia, the army of Murcia, commanded by General Mahi, put himself in motion coming out of that city on the 24th of Octo. bei, and attacking on the following day Marshal Sachet. That General, according to die French ac counts, was repulsed in the attack he made, losing the Generals Caro and Loy made prisoners, together with 4500 men, and some artillery. " General Blake states in a Proclamation which he ; afterwards addressed to the inhabitants of Valencia, that his retreat was made in good order. On the 26th, at night, the Castle of Sagunto capitulated, and l it is said, that on the 27th, Sachet summoned Vi. lencia to surrender. The Castle of Sagunto made brilliant defence." " LISBON.
