CAN NING, FATED LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1808. u At our first interview (on the 29th June) verbal ermun;cation was not discountenanced, but corn inendcd : for, after I bad made myself understood as to the purpose for whieh the interview had been re g a ested, you asked me if I thought of taking a knot formal course ? but immediately added that yl a presumed I did not, for that the course I had a i e pted was well suited to the occasion. My reply 1i25 in substance, that the freedom of conversation wa s better adapted to our subject, and more likely to -.onduct us to an advantageous conclusion, than the l atiaint and formality of written intercourse, and It I had not intended to present a note. At the :ord interview (on the 22d July) it did not occur to in I had any reason to conclude, and certainly did not conclude, that verbal communication had continued to be acceptable as a preparatory course, is was not until the third interview (on the 29th that it was rejected as inadmissible." MR. CANRING TO MR. PINKNEY, DATED NOVEM% REM g 2, 1808. u It is highly probable that I did not (as you say lid not) assign to you as the motive of the wish I then expressed, my persuasion, that written , Inications are less liable ti) mistake than verbal , es; because that consideration is sufficiently ob. atcl becatise the whole course and practice of ffice is, in that respect, so established and invariab l e , it I really could not have supposed the assignment ary specific motive to be necessary to account for • requiring a written statement of your proposal, :icus to my returning an official answer to them. I had talked for granted all along, that such t ad, and such must, be the ultimate proceeding on ir part, hourevet you Might wish to prepare the Ey for it by priiimmary conversations." AMERICAN comitzss. • Foust b REPRZSENTATIVES, NOVEMBER 26.

We also give this day a continuation of the correspondence between Mr. JnEsoV and Mr. SMITH, and a sketch of the proceed irgs of the first sittings of the Congress. Upwards of thirty vessels from Dutch ports reach ed ;he British coast yesterday—anxious to escape an embargo which was daily expected as a step to enforce the new arrangements for shutting out British corn- Inerce from the ports of Holland. The letters and Impels brought by these vessels are to the SOth ult.— The former describe the alarm of the merchants and nonied men as being very great. The new Douaniers annexation of gland to liteFretif-h em pire, , by' ... French Befiet and the language made use of by meow put the matter beifond all doubt, and *strong, fears Vrete entertained that some nefarious arrange. ment would be made respecting the sinus due to the Fund-holders. The Military intelligence in these papers relatei ii chiefly to the battles of Alba Tormes - and Oran.% which we shall lay before our Readers to-morrow. • We have also received some Spanish Papers, which= detail two or three ttifling skirmishes, in one of which Don JUAN JOSZPH CAMACHIIO, with a small pailyil met the French at Villa Franca, and, diving a gallant conflict, killed many of theft, taking twenty-three prisoners and 27 horses ! Don JUAN iIidENEII, in another conflict, got possession of 80 cwt. of plate, much of which had been plundered from the churches of Madrid ! In the neighbourhood of Quesada, the Patriots were equally successful, where their ad vanced-guard attacked and put to flight 800 of the enemy's cavalry 1 ! _A _ We mentioned yesterday that a reinforcement of troops was ordered for India in consequence of the disagreeable occurrences that have seaantly taken' place in that quarter. We have now to add that all the ships now under orders for India are to take out troops, in the proportion of from two to three hun dred Men each. The following official document has been recently pbblished at the Court of Denmark : ROYAL DECREE. " Copenhagen. Dec. 14. • " As it has been represented and proved to us, tl st many in fringements of our edist of the 23d of March last, have lately taken place under American colours, by the introdurion through such Means into our kingdom of British goods and colonial pro duce, lila as it is contrary to the said provisions of the said edict that such introduction should be made ; we do therefore, with the assistance of our Council, hereby otder, that inspectorsbe ap pointed at the different ports of the territories of Zealand, for the examination of the inferior officers of our Customs, nominated to prevert such introduction, that if any fraud or corruption be dis covered to have been committed by them, the same may be made known to Vs. " Given at oar Royal Palace, at Copenbaltit, this 9th day of December, 1809." - _ _ Monday morning dispatches were received at the Office of the War and Colonial Department from Lord WELLINGTON, in Spain.

Lord GaErvit.tt has intimated his intention of add ing a third prip to the two Which were before given l by the Chancellor of the University of Oxford. This prize, we understand, will be for the best composition I in Latin prose. The Catholic counties in Ireland are coming for ward to petition the Legislature for the removal of the disabilities affecting that body : Tipperary, Corks and Limerick, have already met, and appointed Coms mittees. Mr. BATIIURST, Envoy Extraordinary from Great 1 Britain to the Court of Austria, we are happy to state , was in perfect health and understand in g on the 13th of November ; his friends are therefore not alarmed at the unpleasant paragraph, dated the 10th of No vember, from Berlin, and inserted in the Paris papers. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Sir HUGH Nous Bart. was una nimously appointed a Member of the gectet Com mittee of Three, during the present Direction, in the room of Sir Witaaast BENSLEY, Bart. deceased. The undermentioned times were fixed for the ships David Scott, and Cirencester; the former destined to Madras and China, ele latter to St. Helena, Prince of Wales Island, and China, viz.—to sail to Graves end 1 lth in aant—stay there 20 days—be in thcDowns lath February. The sliips Bombay and Royal George, for China direct, were ordered to be afloat the 20th instant, sail to Gravesend 3d February, stay there 30 dayk, and be in the Downs 12th March, The French privateer l'Avanture, sent into Ply mouth on Saturday by the MEDUSA frigate, was only one day from Bourdeaux, and what is singular the Captain had left Plym o u th onl y ei g ht days before, having been then exchanged. The FANCY gin-brig, Captain SINeLAIR, arrived at Leith on Thursday, from Gottenburgh. During her stay at that place the officers were obliged to go on shore in coloured clothes.—We lament to say, that by this conveyance we have received the melancholy intelligence of the loss of his Majesty's frigate the ALEXANDRIA, on the coast of Jutland, of whose crew only 80 people have been saved. Besides the injury done to the property of Mr. Po. cock, coal merchant, by the fire on Monday night, the premises of Mr. Akers, timber merchant, adjoin ing, also suffered severely. Nearly thirty thousand pounds worth of timber, belonging to this Gentleman, was burnt ; and he, as well as Mr. Pocock, was in a ' grea t measure unin sured. Twelve fine horses were burnt in the stables. No human being was 'injured in any shape, if we except the case of a poor woman, who fell down dead in Salisboryognare., as was sup posed from fright. She lived in an apartment close to the premises which were on flames, and ran out of the house screaming violently until she reached the pavement in Salisbury-spare, where she expired.— 'The body was carri ed to a public house in the neigh ' bourhood, where it lies for a coroaer's Inquest. , • the . . • r --_ btltetee4 in the 1111 1411 Highness is imieited there in the ream of a day ire two, t, - make arrangements foe his abode in the Wise sipOinted for the GoVetnor, but lately occupied by tie ,Towel Major.

FIELD Governor SONTAG, Earl DALHOUSIE, General RAY ( Royals) General MONCHIEFI Colonel WALttsa, 50th, and Colonel STEWARTi all from Wakheren, have ar rived in towm N4VAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH AND PLYMOUTIR-DOCK, JANUARY 1. The SHANNON frigate, during her late cruise off ikurcleaux, took two prizes ; one of them, schooner was deeply laden with Spanish plunder, contesting of no inconsiderable quantity of gold and silver, melted down, which had been stolen from the churches and other religious establishmetri; this vessel, after putting some of her men on board, she sent for England; and, on the next day, a French ship of superior force fell in with and captured her : she was, however, re taken a few hours after by one of our cruizing fri gates, with the Shannon's men on board, but I am not certain what port she has arrived at. The other prize ) taken by the SHANNON, is also very valuable. Came in the Amer:can ship Caledonian, Captain Dzacsoo, from Norfolk, in America, with various goods; Robert and Sarah, Capt. SHEER, from Oporto, with wine, for Guernsey, Jersey, &c. leaky ; Ameri can ship Dryad, Capt. Plactie, from London, bound to America, with passengers. Last evening , this vessel had a very narrow escape from capture within the Edystone, by a French lugger privateer, which attempted to cut her off when she was steering for this harbour ; this is the third vessel of the kind she saw on her way down Channel.--Sailed the MORN.. IRG STAR cartel, for blorlaix, with French prisoners; and the INTELLIGENT gun-brig, on a cruise. PORTSMOUTH, JANUARY E. followed, and trceum.—T&.Comic Opera of the arilfia Wit re presented at this Theatre yesterday evening:- bilks) whole of the representation of thif Opera, we Could discover nothing that was not, in a' greater °Heide degree, doctored with merit ! -Mr. PHILIAPS, is Prince Orlando, was eminently attractive - be looked • and played the character well, and the ibud appeo. bation which he received from the more Fiend& pet of the - audience, as well as the galleriii, was as in contestible proof of his rising greatness in his profes sion. Mr. Dclwron gave to the part of Par a Ime colouring ; perhaps &w characters so inhume* Mo. fling, were ever better performed than %bhp toy . bk. . MUNDEN and Mr. DOWTON* Mr. MATT/COM la the Mamie, was a pleasant representative of an old tis. bleman, vain without wisdom, and amorous without power. Mr. Russzes Wlshaticals was one of theism personations that we have seen by this comedian.-- Mrs. MOUNTAIN had in Norma mole spirit and mime_ than any of the successors of Signora Stotts= ; she . coedited her part of the duet of " The Bird in yonder CageconfuleA,' with Mr. Pintails, in a style ofnn -, usual excellence; and Mrs. HARLOWE was very en tertaining in Cario:v. KIND'S THRATRS•The Grand Serious Opera of Sidegare was performed last night to a brilliant au dience. The boxes displayed but little change in the present winter costume. Scarlet cloaks and White Ears were most conspicuous. The ballet of Pietro it Grasp followed, and went off with the usual eclat. F As an instance of the mildness 'of the season, on Sunday morning last, the ostler of the Marquis of Granby public house, at Thanes Ditten, discovered a magpy's nest containing two eggs, on which the old bird was sitting. A gentleman in the county of Tipperary has, asap object of curiosity as well as pleasure, undertaken to establish in his park, a colony of beavers. He has I planted plenty of birch, aspen, ash, willow, 'snow, osier, alder, &c. round the ponds, and is about to pro cure several pair of befrvers to turn in. An extraordinary circumstance occurred, a few days ago, at Beddington-corner, near Mitcham, is Surrey. An elderly woman dropped down dead and fell into a dith. A Coroner's Inquest was held, and a verdict given—Died by the visitation of Gem. She was buried at Beddiugton Church ; and sue of the men who assisted in carrying the body to the ground, on his return home from the funeral, found himself ill, and dropped down dead, at the same spot where the woman died. Monday morning two female infants w ee in a basket, carefully wrapt up in blankets, and properly secured against the weather, placed at the door of a Gentleman in the neizhbourhooduilSonth Lambeth, afiihit a' aliersifffrCto thiliasleeewith the following direction :44 On discovery to be delivered to the worthy Batchelor immediately ;" who, on resmiving the little foundlings, very humanely rdered a Mese to be provided, and every care to be taken of them. CORONER'S INQUEST — An Inquisition was takes few terday, est the body of- Mrs. Sukey Thontrassek. - widow, who was burnt to death in her apartments in Bury's buildings, New-road, on Sunday nights .It was stated in evidence, that a fire was diseovaredin the first floor back room, which was occupied by 101 s. T. and all attempts to get into the said roost wefts fruitless. The fire, however, was subdued, after, having destroyed the floor, and the mutilated remain. of the deceased were found in the parlour aide:math. No idea can be formed how the fire originated ; but as it broke out at a late hour it was supposed that the deceased was reading, and set fire to her garment, or to the bed-curtains.—Accidental Death. Swninsmo.—A report was circulated last week; on the pretended authority of a Captain Moans, of the brig Hero, from Waterford, that another vessek, the Atalanta, Capt. Jomtcroti, also from Waterford, was captured on the 22d ult off Portland by a French • privateer.—We have strong reasons for believing that this was a mere fabrication, for we find that about a fortnight ago a person taking the name of Mandeville, and • calling himself owner of the ship Atalanta, took up his quarters at the Shak Tavern, Plymouth Dock, waiting the arrival2 .ll l: ship from Waterford, with a cargo of oats, of which he had samples along with him. While there, be procured a new get-coat, for which wise hue paid the tailor. and sold his cargo of oats at a very reasona ble / m ice to an honest speculating farmer in the neighbourhood, from whom he received AS as earnest. Need we had, that he decamped next morning without taking leave of his host ! While MANDEVILLR was playing this part at Plymouth Dock , an accomplice of his was employed in the same game with another flat at Plymouth, and with equal success. Yesterday the LORD MAYOR ordered the price of i bread to be continued at Is. Sid. the quarters loaf of wheaten, and household at Is. 20. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK•LANR, JAN.
