My situation at present I esteem cri tical and uncertain—it is very possible that we shall be obliged to throw ourselves upon our friends be. fore long, without resources to help us. We have n• thing seriously to apprehend in this quarter from t' e British themselves, or from the inhabitants of their adjoining province. I think they would not move against us at all. Indeed I have good rea son to think, that four-fifths of the inhabitants of Upper Canada would instantly revolt and join the Americans, or declare independence for themselves. They are mostly from the States, and hare not for gotten the lessons of liberty, nor lost the proud feel• inks of freemen, which are rather exalted than other wise, by every attempt of their own Government is subdue them.

Yesterday rooming an express arrived at the East India House, from the Company's Ageot, advi►ing the arrival of the following Indiamer, of Plymouth, and in the ahernOun an Ofce►, from His Marasev's ship Ardent, brought a packet from the Guvarnor of St. Helena.

As the Pursers did ow arri►e in time, yesterday, the packets will not be it r ened "until this morning. The letters, of course, 1011 not be sent to the Post- Cffice, for delivery, till the afternoon. A rcp nt prevailed, last morning, in the West end of the town, that the Cadiz laet had put to sea with int. nt to seize the Portugicae shippiug in Cie Tars, sad that the British Raet, ualer A liuiral Puavr, had fallen in with therenemy, and taken twelte sail of the line. It will be re:oiled:a, that on Lord Cowen:swamies departure for Constantinoplr, with a detachment of the tut, the conl:ls ind devolved upon Admiral nuts, Ent we do not believe that the ships that remained with him off the *mast of Spain, amounted to more than eig4t or nine, and the whole Combined &et in Ca diz, according to report, did not exceed twelve sail of the line. The report, however. of this great viantry, was very general, particularly at the War.. Office, where it was vouched upon the authority of several Mica , ' of distinlion. It was also so gene) Val in all the Courts nt Westminster Hall. one %Quid suppose it bad been briefed to all the Lawyers of eminence. with their pleadings. We ensierstand, however, that no accounts to this etre& %serer,- served at the Admiralty, and, before night, the aeon Was onivenally _discredited.

This is the stir, t g IMAM:I which the present CNA NC IL LOU of Excurouse frequently urged daring the late srillininisoath - n, as alnolorely necessary to meet Bo st tr aere's blirchading decree. We may therefore presume, that if it did not appear to some of his eo. a..liututs as a ineasute of doubtful policy, it would have h,en long since adopted.—lt will, nu doubt. cut off Fiasco boas all intoreoutee with three quar ters of the globe, and prevent her from receiving xe of Asia, Africa, to the measure, Ide ; but .this oh- a y of the commodities or I:m4.h:cc ago{ Am rice. Toe cooly obj.filiou to the cousectuat .yo'7 to our tried • %. jedion is treated, in the Treasury Journals, as a mere chimera. •' Our trade," they say, w would suffer indeed, if the articles in which we deal, if our own produffioos, and the produce of our Colonies, were mere luxuries, which nations might, dispense with. But is that the LA? Are not the produCtions of the Colonies absolutely necessary to the Continent ? Can BONAPP ITC prevent the Continent from having them ? Can any decree he can issue, induce the people of the Continent to dispense with the use of sugar, of coffee, of cotton, of linen, of in digo, of logwood, of drugs, of hardware, and a variety of other articles ? He may render the iatroduetion of them more difficult, and the circulation of them more circuitous, but still they will reach every part of the Continent. But it may be said, if the Continent will not dispense with the use of sugar, of coffee, of cotton, of in digo, of logwood, kc. where is the great necessity for this measure? Because neutral nations know that these articles, the produce of our Colonies, are liable to seizure and confiscation in the enemy's ports—they, therefore, purchase them in the Colo nies of the enemy, and the enemy are thus supplizd with them, not by British ships, not by British Co lonies, but by American ships, and by French and Spanish Calonizs. But if we interdict that trade, it we say that no ship shall convey to a French port any Colonial produCtion but onr o en. we shalt then ohlige the Continent to take them from us; the Continent not being able, as w: have already slated, to do with , ut them" Niw all this may be very doe logic, but we fear that it is not fact. The inferences may be trne, but, unhattv'atcly, the premises are false. In the first place, the productions of our Colonies :ire not all articles absolut:ly necessary to the Continent ; and in the next place, if their citculotion upon the Con tinent be rendered mow d;lficitlt and circuitous, they cannot circulate tae the sums extent, and with the s.sm: fatiility, after, as before the restraints. It follows, therefore, that the consumption will be less; but we trust the redelion will not be so great as the enemy expects. It is. we fear. to. •ueh to attemit to peon, that our trade will not suffer at all. Oar last accounts left the titular King of FR amcs at GotsEeM-Hall,' in Essex. We and, however, hemline Edinburgh papers received yesterday, that prepirations wese still making for His hlai Est v's reespition at Helyrood-House. We admit that there .was scarcely time to countermand the orders for toiling op the hitter place for the accornodation of the Illustriocis Visitor. it is probable, however, that f ood arrangement has been made, respefting the saoidence of His ftlaaaser in this country. In this state of things, we did not mean to obtrude the airdrs of this unfortunate Patron upon the public, until we load something new to attraa their atten tion. That forbearance, however, we are not al lowed to indulge. tie Mowing t'ort of yesterday says:— " it is really surpri.ing that certain Papers will persist in 'nisi:presenting the ciecionscoires et:encliil the an isal of Louts XVIII. in this country. This public trier re-4 a,uied of the satheolacity of the fah stated front tan.e to tune att 'Plc 31ae,siek Pest, sad that ap statements di:krill loins them are totally unfounded " Tit Moroi*: Port stated. on the &I instant, that Gait.tion's hotel, in Albesnarle•street, was .oftuAlly prepased for the reception of Locos XVIII. long before his intention of cretin., to Eng:a•tsi Was made known, even to the King of Et. OE !inn or his ten t and in its number of Saturday last, so far from boasting any sources of its own, it copied the vague and costradiassey accounts given is the Papers, pu,b/iehed in the French language, in Lon don, on the preceding day. Report stated, that Lout. XVIII. would, reside at Holyreod-bouse, r•.r Qossfield-hall, or Gaittioa's hood, or at a house near London. taken for him by the French Princes. ! Tii. Morniog Port. in common with its cnntempora : ries, was the mere echo of these fuer several conti a ! diamy rensours s restrains the residence of Louts XVIII. and with respea to "beer vations arm his visit, the mere copyist of the Journals in the French language, pointed in London. It never was able to state, which account was right, which strong. or which of these ;Asses was to be the Weal residence of . Louts the XVllth.,.until it celled it from the London papers of the preceding even. ing. This is a sintatton one would think net of very high end lofty pretensions to authenti city or originality. But if there were no other ob jeftion to the vapouring boast which we have Tooted, it should have passed, like many others, without notice. If there be any one point in w!..ich the most of the London prints ore agreed, it is with rtspea to the objeft of the visit, and its probable consequence. They agree that L. is political. and that nothing can be more abturd or romactic.— "tick has been the r.' , araaer and s:esctiption of it given in 14. Morning PO4l, in common with many other prints. What then are we to thir.k of a paper, avowedly adverse to the cause of tier Bocaltoo.o. advertising itself the Gezette of Louts XVIII. the only deposi..,ey of his secrets and views, and that so reclusively, that any other is unworthy of credit ? Are we to be told. that Louis XVIII. is so weak and so besotted, as to choo e a Print adverse to his interest, his hopes, and his de signs, for his confidential Journal ? Or are we to understand. that there are spies among his followers, who steal his secrets for the purpose of communi cating them , o his enemies ? Thespiesof BON AAAAA e, and the Agents of his secret police, are spread ova all Europe. They can assume all shapes and disguises; and against the arts of such men, Louis the XVIIIth cannot be too much upon his guard. Their intrigues. if we are not misinformed, have de luded him to England ; and it is well, if they do not sueceed.in lead.ng hint still further astray. It has been erroneously stated, that General Wurrstocce is to be brought to a Court-Martial upon Charges preferred against him by Sir SA MU ci A yen MUT Y. No Charges have yet been preferred against that Officer. }t is cestainly the intention of Govevnment to instittre an investigation into the causes of that disgrace which His Mat esvv's arms sustained at Buenos Ayres, but whether by a Court of Inquiry, or a Court-Martial, is, we beliere,not yet determined. .•.......ell.mimr. The Townshend packet, whieh left Lisbon on the 19th ult. has arrived at Falmouth. The Aveltrnd packet, from hasland, had arrived there before she letters by the 7ramsh<lod will not be delivered out till to-mosow, but there are hoar ac counts in town than any she can have brought. A Bremen vessel, which left Lisbon on the :fifth ult. arrived at Deal on Sunday tan. No corroboration ' of the reported revolution in Spain had been re. ceived when this vessel salletlyand the news was en tirely discredited. It was believed that the French army had left Bayonne on the 15th ult. and that they were within 40 leagues of Lisbon.

The Gurnwatir packet, from Males, is attic:if off Falnviuth : she parted from the Cartipa packet, also from Malta, five days siace. Some of the Papers of Monday announced, that a Messenger had left town with dispatches for Co penhagen. War being declared between this coun try and Damn - I. he could only be sent with a flag of truce, and hence it was supposed, that the dis patches contained a new proposal to negociate. The Gentleman, bewares, who has left town for Copan hageo. is not a Messeng;ir, but Mr. %sr, the Da nish Consul. lie had pusitive orders to leave this country. _ _ blonday afternoon, Captain Klan. late Gover nor of K. w S-uth Wales, arrived at the Admiralty. Captain Kis o came in the Blite, commanded by I..s.utenact If ousycia, and arrived At Portsmouth on Sunday night. The accounts which have been published relative to the alarming scarcity in the settlement, are, we undetstand, but too well founded. The JUMP, C teeth from Balm, is lost near Jer. try ; crew saved.

The Hee ACON, has been taken. re-taken. and sent into Malta. The circulation of the counterfeit shillings and sixpences. more pesticulatly known by the appella tion of Irish, and distinguished by letter., marks, or names, thereon, being now (owing to the exer tion of the Solicitor of the Mint) nearly suppressed altogether, the public feel a temporary inconve. nience bons various persons stamping similar marks on the good coin, which in somc degree tends to check the currency will ignorant persons, who con ceive the same to he the counterleit Irish money; we are happy. however, to learn, that such pradlices have already been noticed, and that the Solicitor to the Mint is about to take the necessary steps to remedy this inconvenience; as all persons are guilty of an offence in so doing, and are liable to a prose cution for a misdemeanour, in defacing the legal and current coin of this realm.
