Richard Ward, at Salem, in 117 days from Cakutta, India pipers to the 9th May, have been received by the Editor of the Sale* Register. Letters received at Bom bay., dated Bussorah, .13th March, state, that Admiral pellew reached Bombay 11th April. The absence of the Admiral from the Calcutta station was regret ted, and by some even censured; but as no public account was given of the movements on the Persian Gulph, the reasons for his conduct could not be suf ficiently known for a correct judgment of his dispo sition of his fleet. Accounts from Canton to the 14th March, state, that in consequence of the rich captures made by the enemy, the country ships were not permitted to sail without convoy. The Ladrones had become "very' troublesome to the coasting trade. The English were surveying. the Paraceis, dangerous shoals, in the na vigation of the Chinese seas. The French frigate la Cannonier, of 50 guns, from Acapulco . (on the S. W. coast ofNew Spain) with S. 4,000,000, had ar rived at Manilla. TFLS FNENING'STAR: • LONDON. THSASDAY, NOVEMBER 3.

'Tlie Urn on arrived off Falmouth on Monday evening, and having landed Lieutenant Gamow and other three Goatlimn, who immediately set of for town, instantly sailed for the purpose of landing at the gat French port a Messenger with dispatches for the American Minister at Paris. . The papers and letters received by the Union come down to the 4th ult. From these it appears that after the Boston Meeting to petition against the Em bergo, of which our readers were some time ago in formed, another meeting by the party called Emkar ruts was called to prepare a csunter-ltdition. The Address itself does not appear in any of the Papers that have reached us, but its contents may be pretty correctly inferred from the Pitzsintscr's Reply. In this Reply the proceedings of F.ugland and France are placed in the same point of view, but very un fairly ; for we do not refuse to receive their ships in ear harbours in their voyage both to and. from our enemy's countries : NAPOLEON confiscates all that have sailed, or are bound to, England: he seizes them if they contain British colonial produce. We allow them to import the colonial productions of France into America, without search, and even to convey, them to France herself, provided they do but touch at England. His acts, to omit many other points of dissimilitude, were primary and unconstrained : ours, consequent, and imposed by the . duty of resisting our enemy in every way in which he pleases to attack us. The other American news is but of little impor tance : there is an Address from the. Officers of Mer- chug ships belonging to the Port of Philadelphia, 2.4 , Ainst the Act of Embargo, and the PRESIDENT'S aIt!CT to it : and, to every petition upon this subject we ntay observe generally, that the PRESIDENT'S reply is of such a nature, as to leave but little moil to doubt of his determination to maintain with all his influence the farther continuance of the offensive mea sure : its suspension, indeed, is not in his power, till the meeting of Congress. The American newspapers still teem with invec tives against Jerrritstm and his Embarsoosers, as his partisans are called. The Editor of The True ,ifistricao, a Philadelphia newspaper, triumphantly informs his readers, that the State of Vermont has declared against the Ern-1 bargo ; that the Citizens of New England are also unanimous against it, notwithstanding the intrigues ' of a contemptible French faction, in procuring a Counter-Address from Boston ! 1 * Handbills have been circulated throughout the State of Virginia of the most inflammatory These pioductious call upon the Citizens of Virigin . ; e rise in a mass, and recede from the Union; and it even raid, that secret meetings are held for the Impose of organising a revolution to this effect:" ... The President has ordered a liOd? of American ps to march to the frontiers of Canada. This is iced as an additional proof of his determination to ale to a rupture with Great Britain at all hazards.

Several instances are ricarded of Asitiadvi va at: having been robbed of dollars and Ali by French privateers at sea. 1 One hundred and fifty British vessels are men-{ tioned to have left Quebec, with full cargoes, for the various markets in the the Spanish main, while the ships of the United States are described as rotting In their harbours, and their seamen either starving or compelled to enter into JEFFERSON'S militia. The American Journalists seem to exult in giving publicity to these and similar details, with a view to excite the popular indignation.. Congress is to meet on the 7th instant at Washing ton, when the great trial of strength will take place between the French and American parties. The Fe deralists, as the enemies of the Einbargo call them , selves, are confident of success, A lfeniteur of a very recent date has reached town, containing BoNAPArrg's Message to the Legislative Body. The Message states, that the Emperors ALEXANDER and BONAPARTE, being desirous of re establishing a General Peace, had made overtures of a pacific tendency to Great Britain, upon certain conditions, and that if the British Government did not acceptl.heoe tonditiono, it was BONAPAATE'II in- t tention W invade Spain , itrrth all his forces, and finally to expel die Bouanom family from the Sovereignty of . that Kingdom, and to fix his Brother on the Throne. If we have been accurately informed as to the sub stance of the Message, it appears that BONAPARTE, in his proposition to this Country, offered to restore FERDINAND to the Throne of Spain, if the British Government would consent to certain conditions.— What the se conditions are we do not pretend to know, but we have no doubt that BONAPARTE'S in tention was to propose suck. as he knew.we would not accept. His policy in making such offers is obvious : he hopes to create a coolness between Great Britain and Spain, by offering the latter to restore her King, if the former will make certain concessions. It was natural to expect that Boma- PARTE would adopt every artifice to destroy the union which subsists between this Country and Spain ; but the Spaniards have had too many proofs of his perfidy, to fall into the snare which he has laid for them. We this day continue our extracts from the Dutch papers that have reached us. They come down to the 30th, and contain Paris news to the 25th ult. Count ROMANZOW, the Russian Minister, instead of returning toPetersburgh, has proceeded to Paris to wait the answer of our Government to the proposi tions which were lately sent from the two allied Em perors. He would arrive at Paris some days before Mr. SHAW, the Messenger and as he is no doubt ves ted with full powers, little time would be required to return an answer to.the cummtuication from our Go vernment. It Is not unlikely that it may arrive at the latter end of this week,. sr early in the next. The liberality of Niurca.sou is.of a singular At the request of ALEXANDER he has engaged to withdraw the French troops.froas Pressia! The fact is, they are wanted elsewhere. He has alsO riniitted 68 millions of the Prussian . composition—bdt Prussia he well knew could not pay a single dollar more, having been completely drained by his previous ex. tortions. The French Legislative Body was to meet on the 25th ult. and the Session to be opened by NAPOLEON in person. We wait with impatience the arrival of the next Papers which will contain the opening Address, Replies, Sm. documents which will probably prove highly interesting. letter froM• Balentte of the 17th ult. given in the Papers received yesterday, stato , that General , Moacint bad made 8000 Spanish Patriots prisoners.

The 2d battalicel 4 the-25th regiment (the Bor derers), formerly Lord Gamine 'Lki4Nox's regiment, and styled the Edinburgh regiment; is on its passage from Leith for the Isle of Night. The It battalion of this old regiment is in the.Weethaliete, at St. and continues very healthy. The 73d Highlanders, cotiiimii4ea by Colonel MlQuAlutte, have received prders to• march from Perth to Dundee. Though so short a tintelas elapsed since the 84th returned from India, yet so popular is it in its native county, that it has already got some hundreds of men. The 77th regiment is completing fast, and making ready for service under that able Officer, Colonel Wsirrxeocxx. This regiment, with the 68th, 87th, and 88th, will be among the first to go on service. The wind having continued favourable, we hope that the hussar brigade is by this time far advanced on its passage to Spain. We will anxiously expect to hear of their landing, cavalry being so much wanted there at present. Both Sir JOHN MOORIk;'S army and Sir DAVID BAIRD'S, will, by this time, be near the scene of action. Neither the 14th her 16th Dragoons will commence their march to Portsmouth till it is reported that transports are ready for them there. I The Lieutenancy of the stewartry of Kirkcud bright, at their late meetings in the different subdi , visions, for enrolling the local militia, enrolled near 1700 volunteers. Lieutenant-General the Earrof ROSSLYN inspected the four companies of the 9th Royal Veteranßattalion, stationed at Berwick-upon-Tweed, the 24th ult. and was pleased to pass high encomiums on them for their clean and soldier-like appearance, and great regula rity in the barracks. The gallant Major-General FEnoussoN arrived in Edinburgh on Friday, and has since gum to Fife, on a visit to his venerable and much-respected father. On Tuesday se'nnight the 4th battalion of the Ist, or Royals, the Royal Cornwall and Royal Westmore land Militia, and the Ist Battalion 88th Regiment, were reviewed by Major-General COUICNURN in Dau bury Park, Eve miles from Chelmsford. These fine ' corps Went through their different manceuvrings to . I the entire satisfaCtion of the General, and made a grand appearance. The. Major-General put them through several masterly evolutions, in which the regiments manifested their high state of discipline. One of their principal was a sham fight, according to the disposition of the corps of British and French at the battle of Vimiera, in the course of which pro digies of valour were performed on both sides, and ithe Royals remained masters of the field. - THE COURT OF INQUIRY.

The boisterous and unsettled weatherwitl,the ra pid succession of violent gales which we have expe rienced for some weeks past, almost unexampled in this early part of the season, appears to have been very general, and the accounts of the loss of shipping which we have received from various quarters, are very distressing. in the storm - of the Bth instant, throe vessels were wrecked to -the westward of Thum?, a of which bad discharged a cargo of bark there, and sailed from Scrabster roads the preceding eight j the three crews said to be saved.
