TH E BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MONDAY. Dtcasisza 23. Dispatches were received. yesterday, at the Ad miralty, from Lord Cow ronwooo, dated on board the Vitae, at sea, on the 13:h of Ortlober, at which time his Lotdsh.p's squadron was all well. Dis, patches were also received, yesterday, from Lord Galan/Lt. dated off Ushanr, the 21st inst. His Lnr ft -et was all well. The enemy had made no movement. An account was received list evening at the Ad ruirilty, of the arrivsl of the Prticess Aags sea pick et at Falmouth, on Friday, with dispatches from Malta and Gibraltar. Our &et off Cadiz was all well on the c.:4th last ; it coasisied of the Atlas, bearing the Rig of A.Jrniral Navas; Glory. Zca lo, y, TrrriVe, Magnificrat, Rev, ngr.

It linv:ng been ascertained that the Russian a in the sus are not only blockaded there, !nit ac wally not is a condition to put to sea, the squa dron of Rear-Admiral °TWAY, which had been so lm; ready fur a start at St. Helen's, is broken up, as we stated in a former paper. Of the vessels that composed it. the folilwing are the present state and destination:- rie filar is gone to Chatham. to be pail oif ; the Vatiauf. to Itlyinntuh, to be docked the Mar: is gene to Spithead, to he repaired ; the Superb and .spencrr will jobs the Channel fleet, when the wind is fair ; the Noma has cared to join the North Sea squadron ; and the Hertak remains at St. Helen's. The Lan India Fleet, under convoy of t ht.Sur reillank, Sir Gcosos Cou.ita, had not sailid on Saturday from St. Helen's, being still detained there by contrary win,ls. The mp'i2e, Capt. Hoare. with the convoy for the Mewteiranean, has been also detained At St. Helen': by the same cause. On Ssturday afternoon, the following intelligence was received at the East India liou*e, b► rapt.

'gate, ( The Traven and Marg4is of Lly patted from the fleet, on the 10th inst. off the IVestern Islands. We do not believe that the Spanish frigate which wag left in company. is a new prize. She is, in all probability, the same which was captured in the River Plata, and having afterwards proceeded to St. Helton, toiik her departure with the fleet. At the time the Trager, took her departure, per tea tranquillity prevailed in India. The ship John Paris 4, Am vzd At Penstnce, from Lim% which place she left on the 21 of September, states, that about the I Skis of Attgust, the first Res cotyst of the dcfeat of the British troops under she command of General WHITELOC&S reached that place. The joy which the stews of out disallow mad disgrace excited was seismal- Rejsieings, lapse tedeured` in their grand,* and extant, took Am throughout the city of Lima and the suhutbs; fear ties meetings ware' hold in the public squares and places; and the illuminations were continued three successive nights. The detestation of the English name, arising from the accqunts which had reached Lima before the arrival of the sfahe ?arab, of the pillage and barbarities committed by our troops oison their taking possession of Buenos Apes, was manifested in the most ardent way by all ranks of people ; and as it was expeded that the capture of Buenos Ayres would be followed by an attack upon Lima, birth was the spirit of the inhabitants, that no less than twenty-five thousand volunteered for the defence of the place. AVlien the Ja4a "'wish left Lima, there was only one Spanish regiment of regulars in the city. Notwithstanding the disgraceful catastrophe with which our expeditions to the River Plata have been attended. we understand it is the determination of Government to send out another early in the Spring, for the reduaior of Monte Video. Its objea will be confined to the possession of that place as an inlet to our different branches of commerce, and at the some time a Proclamation will be published, of feting the people at large the aid of Great Britain as a guarantee of their independence, should they choose to constitute a power, free and detached from the Spanish Monarchy. By the possession of such a post as that of Monte Video, without any miltaty interference or operations in the interior, the trade between the Brasil. and the River Plata might be rendered highly prodatve and bene ficial. Dispatches were received on Saturday from Sir Stoney SMITH, dated the 9th i wt. at which time the gallant Admiral had resumed his station off the Tagus. The Russian ships appear to be it dread of an attack. They had proceeded higher ap the river from the place wl)ere they had been at anchor when ti.e . Portuguese fleet left the Tap.. We have received American papers to the t6th last. An article dated Washington, November I ti:h, says—.' Yesterday the Hon. Mr. Iv OK stated, in the House of Representatives, that he wished the galleries cleared, and ear doors closed, bolted, and barred, as he had some highly important matters to communicate. The House having gratified his wishes, he observed, that Mr. Easetss, the British Minister, had recently transferred stock, possessed by his father to a large amount in the American fends. and in consequence proposed the following That prwri,i n ought to be made by !ow, forbidding all transfers of eight of action, mid all monies, and other pro ven., either peal or i.enoiral, to nr ry any subject of the Crown ut Great Britain; anal also forbidding any Citizen or Resident , the Unitcd Stems, paying any debt or demand to any such subj. ct " " 1 can only !eve you the monis of Ti. National Intelli gence! upon tho subject nuivemal sentiment (says the Paper) .55 inireserveilte expremeit that such a step, at such • time, •at improper.—Not a side. Member supported the Re uuwy bat all censuini its improdence." We have received packets of pspers from Anti gua, chwn to the 29th 09ober, frem St. Chris.- topher's to the 29th of September, and frora St. Vincent's to the 9tst of °Sober. They however furnish no intelligence of particular interest. The alarming prospet of a scarcity, which prevailed io most of the islands, from the anticipation ,of a war with America, had subsided, as a number of American traders had &rived with abnadance of all the usual articles. Recent accounts from the West Indies, directly and indirectly from America, have taught us to expect an immediate attack upon the Danish Island of St. Croix. Letters, dated the 16th ult. from that islands have been received in town, which con& FII the pre vious accounts. They state, that the island was threatened with an atteck by a British squadron 171til troops on board, and that, to the absence of the Governor, who had returned to Copenhagen in consequence of• indisposition, the of f icer next in command had declared his intention to make every possdsle resistance. Some symptoms of discontent having been manifested on the part of the militia, he expressed his determination to place them in front and the regulars in the rear, with orders to fire upon them should they fall back when the at. tack was made. It was generally understood, how. ever, that no effectual resistance could be made. We have received Madrid Gazettes to the 10th last, inclusive, being a day later than the reported time of the entrance of the French troops into that city. They are silent as to that event; and canoe warmly no mention is made of the massacre of 3,000 inhabitants, said to have taken place on the occasion; and which, if true, it is passable would have been in some manner alluded to. The only Article worthy notice contained in these Papers, is the lollowing (Arran from that of the 9th, dated Bayonne, Oct. $O-0 Field Marshal Doe Panne • .

The Gaseete, of Saturday night, .reeorda sewed gallant altions fought in the West ladles, ems rid. eulatly by the Winefilr Coils paeltet. The Jupiter transport, pirt of &Wind Car. b. row's expedition, which sailed from Portsmouth on Sunday se nnight, ran agiound. She had on board about 150 of the King's German Legion. Th. troops have since been removed out of he►. They will sail in a few days to join the expedition, with two transports which have entrenching tools or board, under convoy of the Lively, Captain *Kir- LLY.

Wear ing to a regiment employed in the affair of Copan. haggis. The crime alleged against them is the enormous one of greedy assaultiog two Danish fo. males, and having tempest their husbands to wit nets their outrage. A letter, dated Port.au.Prince, Dec. 6, says—. "Pay tow's army had a severe rencontre with time of his antagonist s (Cnittermin a), a few days since, near Vt. Marc.
