BRITISH PRESS. - -.--..- ... ,4r 41 : T •••••.• LONDON, FRIDAY, Noveta BIM 20. 4 , One of the Opposition Papers stares, that the Marquis Wettest's takes credit to himself as the Author of the Expedition to the Baltic. One of the Ministerial Prints of yesterday has taken great , offence at this attempt to rob its patrons of the honour of originating the measure, and, assuming an air of authority, says- 4, the measure, we believe, had the most cordial epproietien of the NoblitMar quis, and is likely to have his most strenuous sup port, whenever the Talents shall marshal themselves in array to attack it." The seal of this accommo dating Print has, we fear, in this instance, out- ;as its discretion. It is not complimentary to the talents of Ministers, and it is certainly most un• constitutional language. to recommend every mea sure which they undertake, to the public, as stamped with the authority and cordial approbation of the Marquis Wettest's , or Viscount Matvitte. Vis count Cssrteetsou being about to retire from of fice, ess account of ill health. we are told he *ill he succeeded by the Noble Marquis as soon as he shall be freed from Mr. Petal's charge. Viscount M et- •ti.ust, it is also said, will appear in due time in the Cabinet. They are unquestionably both men of., peat talents, but responsible Ministers ought not to be held out as under the influence of secret and irresponsible advi•xrs. The Constitution does not, recognise tl.c fad, and the Servants el the Crowe. ought not to be liable to the suspicion. We lately stated, that the contsbditiory accounts resp:3.ing the amount of the naval stores brought , -.lied for an official report upop that subjett. We now understand, that measures have been adopted for that purpose, and that an order for surveying and valuing the stares, &c. has been issued by Government. Toe Princess S , abo l ut three or four Months ago, went from England into Germany, for the purpose of arranging some domestic affairs that were necessary to be regulated, in consequence of the death of the late Prince and Princess. Upon her return to England, relying on what appeared to be a double security, first, the existence of atni ' cable relations between her country and trance, - and secondly, the sacred charatler or Ambassador, which bee illustrious consort bears, and which situ ation be has, for a long time, most honourably filled, she purposed travelling algal through Holland to this country. There, homier?, even she has been detained. Titillate communication from France is 'opposed to relate to this Lady. An Express was received, yesterday, at the Ad vil:ratty. from Grimsby. It contained an account of aversl captures, by the Carriers frigate, &c. The particalars will appear in to-mottow night's oa:ctte. Dispatches were sent off, last night, to Yarmouth, to he forwarded by a fast-sailing vessel, to the Baltic. An Admiralty Messenger left town, last night, for Portsmouth, with dispatches. On Wednesiay the following ships belonging to the squadron fitting out at Portsmouth dropped down to St. Helen's : Saferh, 74, Admiral Keats ; wick, 7s, Capt. Glitsvn ; Gears, 74, ('apt. H A ACT T Mintrear, f 4. Capt. M•NSFILL ; Valiant, 74, Capt. YOUNG ; Mars, 74, Capt. Lux 1N ; Hercule, 74, Hon. Capt. Coto's. I.; Arittnnea, 64, Capt. Ross; Difeere, 74, Capt. Lass.; and joined the Ruh, 64. Lk."' At the same tirac Rear-Admiral Sir SA PlUtt. Hoots twisted his Rag on board the Cairene, which, with jhe 1 4 leyt ant, rl3, Captain, 7s, and the bilrei;d, 64, remained at Spitbead. It is generally supposed, that this squadron will be farther augmented, and that Admiral Lord GAM/111 will be finally en trusted with the chref command. We stated on Monday, that the Russian squadron, ender Admiral St PI had broken our liloctrade of Venice, and an opinion prevails in consequence am:.ng the squa dron at Portsmouth, that the Russians having thus assumed an hostile attitude, the squadron is going to Gibraltar to detain them. As this, however, would necessarily lead to a war with Russia, we cannot suppose eat such is the intention of Go etrnment. Oa the contrary, we learn that the Russian squadron will come dire& front Gibraltar, and in she most friendly manner to refit and winter in an English port. Several flat-bottomed boats have been put on board the Pot tsmouth squadron. !Ar We understand that the American Mini%ter has requested come surprise at the late Orders in Coun cil, published in The SuArbuic.tary assent, on Mon day. Mr. 116 x so', it is said, had no intimasion of it before his departure, nor was it sleterrniaed upcn Airbag !Jr. Rosa saileJ.

Among these. we un derstand, Mr. Pip:caws v considers the order respeit- ing "Certificates of Origin," the most objetionable, and as operating with wanton severity upon Ame rica. " Certificates of Origin" are documents ob tained from the French Consuls, testifying that the cargo to which they refer is not of the produce or manufalture of the British Empire, and the produc tion of such a certificate is necessary before any cargo from a neutral can be landed in an enemy's port. Now, as the prohibition of these documents must completely extinguish the commerce of n-eitrals with any part of the enemy's territory, the advo cates for America contend, that such prohihition is a revocation of that part of the Orders in Council, in which the direS trade , between neutrals and the enemy is permitted. This inference, it must be obvious, does not necessarily follow from the pre mises. It depends entirely upon Fiance, whether it shall be injurious or not to America. France now requires these certificates to prevent the in. trodeAion of British produce into the ports of the Continent. Sooner than suffer one atom of such produce to find its way into continental Europe, France has determined to shut out all new commerce. She is ready to give it all up, rather than receive it thus contaminated by the slightest serixture of British minufaSare. Let France then revoke hex oppressive decree, and then neutral commerce will sustain no injury. Some of the American Merchants have had an interview with. Mr. ritliCS VA r. upon the subied. -------4 The Foodroyans, of 84 guns, and the Tork, of 74, are preparing for sea est Plymouth ; but whether they an to follow Sir Si fin GT SMITH, and to join kis squadron. or to form part of the squadron fit ting out at Portsmouth, is not certain. We hare received a series of aarbadnes newspa pers to the 4.h Oftooer. They continue to expa tiate on the gallant conduct of the Captain and crew of the If indvor Castle packet, who so nobly main tained the honour of the British flag in the capture of the Jean: Richard }. reach privateer. Subverip tinns have been opened at the insurance Wiens in Barbadees, for the benefit of those heroes, and we hope the example will be followed at I.LOT n's.

Mr. EDITOR—Being at the News-Room, yes terday, as usual, where I generally read your re. speetable Paper, I was led. out of curiosity, in read, your remarks on Mr. Jones. of Covent-gar Jan l i Theatre, and was asked, if I knew him f but, be, fore I could reply, his father informed me it was his son, and that he thought i,t a pity a true account was not given of him to the publio I promised it should be done, if he would furnish me with a short history of his life, and he immediately drew out the following little sketch : Mr. Richard Jones is the eldest son of a gentle man of the same name (now resident in Queen street, in this town), builder and surveyor to the late Lord Foley, and was born at Stourport, Wor cestershire, in September, 1779. Me discovered an Inclination for the stage at a very early age ; aid, after a few years residence in Birmingham, where he was educated, he, at the age of 17, there made his drill on the boards of that theatre, under the management of Mr. M•Creedy. After having met with great encouragement in that populous town, be performed a whole season at Manchester, where his success was equal to his most sanguine expetia liens, which induced him to withdraw to a place that could give greater scope to his abilities, and insure his future prospeets. With this view he went to Dublin, where he performed, with equal tautest, for eight years, till his engagement at Co mfit-garden. which led to the belief that he was an Irishman ; but, so far from being of Irish extraSion, 's family was originally from Wales, as may be thced for several generations..
