Jr d Mr. CANNINU, hltd a cohference at the 1". reign Orlice on Monday, which lasted from half past ten o'clock in the morning until half-past five in the attention. :emit of the conference was, a dui rminatiou to a EPACLARATION Of WAS AGAIII`T DENMARK, AND THS ITALIAN sr Axes under the i..fl fence of France. Letters of marque and reprimls apaiott three powers and states will appear in the 74: C;sutre of neat Saturday. The Italian states, we undt :stand, will comprise Tus cany. Ragusa, lately attached to the kingdom of Italy, Naples, the Itepuhlic of the Seven Islands, lately ceded Russia to France, and all the other states in t; e Mediterranean and Adriatic, in posses sion or her Allies. The expedition fitting out under the command of Sir SIDNEY SMITH, is now understood to be destined for the Mediteiranean, or the Tagus.. The miltary force will consist of about 5400 men, seleiled from the tr.; pi rc:ently arrived from Copenhagen. The naval hoer will be more considerable than was at first itnig:reJ Besides the six ships of the line already rn.iniioncd, viz. the tondo*, t les.3eth, Pon! and Captain; a seventh, the Furl, WA. paid on Monday, at the Nore, and ordere.l la t night to j ,in the expe dition. It will sail from Ply mouth, to which place incruetions were dispatched last ni3ht hum the lArniralty, for Sir SION/Y SMITH. The letters from China, teceivcd overland, era Eqrn , say, vat?, that the Ll.sa dims, Captain Dam wa: wrecked cn the N.E. point of Hainan, in a p%l.- of wind. Capt.tin Mitt at•.d Mr. Kota, son a Mr. IC • uc, of MaL.cca, were unfortunately among those who pe.ishcd ; the remainder of the Officers, and a part t•f the crew, who were alma& after travellirg overland, had arrived at Can. ton. The Danish ship Amason, horn Calcutta, was asteekad. about that time, tear the same place; the crew, we are hapry to learn, ware all saved. We have received broken sets of Altona and Ilansbutgh Papers. from the Gth to the 21st last. An article from Kw contains the instiliftions of the Csovrs Palace, to the Commander of Copenhagen. to barn the Danish float sooner than 'direr it to 1.11 into the hands of the English. The Messenger ht,wever, haring been intercepted by the English, within a mile and a half of that city, the fleet was thus saved from deans /lion. In another ay- tick from the same place we also find a circum stantial account of the failure of ao attempt, by a B ' h squadron, to get possession of a Danish ship of the rue, which bad taken aficityr is the port of Chtistiaosand. This is attributed to the ratiagt tesistauce made by some suo•bats, which not only repulsed our suzdron, but pursued h to a consi derable distance. The Danish Commander does not appear. llnvivver, to have 11.. en quite confident as to she security of his position; for taking advantage of the eight, and his knowledge of the coast, he aban doned Christiensand, and arrived in safety at Fre dericksvarn. a port some leagues to the eastward of the former. Louts XVIII. and suite landed on Monday at Yarmouth, in consequence of orders to the Col leaor of the OWINGS at that port, brought down from the Sec a m of STAT.'. Oilica by Mr. ltou, Mr. CANNING'S Private Secretary, and the Hon. Mr. Barmy. His Maur* landed under the title of the Duke Ds Lat.', by which he will be properly known and addressed, during his residence in dais country. He was received on shore by the Duke DE Bouanort, and 1 other branches of the Royal Family, who reached Yarmouth on Sunday afternoon. the populace cheered him on his landing. The whole of the family were to leave that place, Monday afternoon, for Gossfield-house, a seat of the Marquis of Bucartiorta ea, in Essex, which the noble owner has offered for the residence and accommodation of this Illustrious Visitor and his suite. 7Ae Casette, of last night, contains a list of titles conferred upon the principal Officers who distin guished themselves in the Expedition to Zealand Among them are Lord CATHC•ai, who is created a Viscount ; and Admiral GA same, who is crme.! a Baron of the United Kingdom.—The lacer re. sumtd his seat, yesterday, at the Admiralty Board.

The Alers , der transport, with part of the 95:h Regiment on board, is arrived at Portsmouth, from Monte Video. She sailed from the River Plate on the 12th of August. in company with 12 sail more, under convoy of the Unicork and 1 hube Motes. from whom she parted conpany wen after in a gale of wind.

The Neptsinns. of 9S guns, arrived at Yarmouth on Sunday. Although there is little reason to wet a deci sive rupture with Russia, yet the commercial rela tions between that countr y and this, are in such a state, as must be productive of much embarrass.. ment and inconvenience. It will not absolutely destroy the mercantile intercom se, but it will weaken its spring, and impair its energy. We have been favoured with the perusal of letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 6th uk. which disclose a very important la& They state, that Lord Ltvzsoir Gowen had direft.2d Sir Si - trims SHAIDP to ac quaint the Britiek Merchants, residing in the Russian ports in the Baltic, that, in reply to a proposal of his, Count Rom arizoFr had informed him, •• that he must decline, I talli.tr lbe exitlang ciAusistfitaltes, to enter into any negotiation for a tsnewal of the Treaty of Commerce with Great Britain." Whether this determination be the result of a compaa with France, or the offspring of that commercial jea lousy and suspicion which Russia seems of late to have most unaccountably conceived, we have no means of deciding. It is not itoprobal.le that both might hays been concerned in producing it. Some of she Morning Papers have stated Grepron is much cut-disern by his battle with Gult;v. The sere elects of such a desperate fight cannot be so soon forgotten by either ; bat we can assert, that Gregson, so far from being cut-down, shears no symptom of injury, except a small cut over hi' left rye ; and is so touch recovered, that 'tit said the kuowing ones would back him for one t-ousaud juineas against any man so kangland, alter tour montbi p.oper training.

GRAND JUNCTION CANS Yesterday, the Proprietors of the Grand Canal Company, held their half yearly at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Mr. called to the chair about 12 o'clock, and ness commenced by Mr. Harvey's reading a short and satisfactory report of the present state of the Company's concerns, and the proceedings of the Committee, since the last me•ting. It appeared that the tonnage has considerably is creased within the last six months; and this increase has been found to arise principal ly upon articles of home cornsuruption, and from a reduction of tt.e rates of tannage upon particular articles. We learnt with pleasure, that the differences lately ex isting between the contractors for the Wocilvertoa Embankment, &c. are likely to be settled betote the next meeting. The state of the Sinking Fund gave universal satisfaftion. It has been increased considerably since the last meeting. It appeared, that in July last, the Committee carefully inspefted the whole of the Hoe, and ex pressed their satisfaaion with the state of Lie works in general. A further dividend of 1 per cent. exclusive of the property duty, was recoinmendtd to take place in January next, which was agreed to witnout any debate. Mr. Sale then read the minutes of the prnceedingg of the Committees since the last meeting, And a vow of Approbation WAS passed upon them. Mr. Harvey then intimated to the Proprietors. that some prospects wale held out of a new com pany undertaking to compl e te the Union Cenat. which, it executed. will undoubtedly prove of great advantage to the Grand Junction. Mr. H. recommended to the proprietors of the Grand Junc tion Canal to take thi. bubjed into their consideration; and suggested, that at some future time it might be proper for this Company and some others that are interested, to lend some assistance to accomplish this end. A vote of thanks was then unanimously passed to the Committee, and especially to Mr. Harvey, for the great attention shewn to the concerns of the Com pany. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, for his paricular attention, arid the meeting adjourn ed till u o'clock, when about 60 sat down to an ea cellent dinner, after which the foilowing toasts and sentiments were given: King, Queen, and Royal Fansily....Succeet to the lined 'lunch.* Canal—Un our Journey throues Jae, say we herr well on the Road Still Waters and fluw,ng Conanterce--S w ee.' to Trade and Navagation-Eari of Blidgesratet.-Marquel of toe i nig a Lad ut Chatha:ChAnmilx of the Exc.o - Carrington—Abu:it Morphine of the Com-lase, de.
