MR. JOHN RIBS TO MR. TAYLOR. Auge.t I. reioiced that opium sells at so high a price. This speaks in favour of a plan which I have long laboured lith, and which was not accepted in 1793, from the IlarrnlT spirit of Lord Cornwallis. Doing Maeptienion's Governmetit, i n 1795, 1 offered a project concerning opium, which, it it had been adopted, would, I am certain of it, have made for the factories the difference of a mite of rupees in the course of the same year. I cannot my that I have any satisfail ion in themee of salt having risen to 970 rupee,: what s creel op pression for the poor. 'lt Yitl produce g• oat evils, and will alienate the mind' in that part of the Company's territories which has always been the most submissive. Who can fore see the consequences of such a system' You should make some efforts to lower the price. Since the Company gain ; one year with another, seventy-five lacy per year by the sale of salt; they our,ht in conscience to b satisfied with it. —We are seriously occupied with ptepsratiuns to repel the French, who menace use-4 wish I could say as much f u r Ir.land. but an Motile body of twelve or fifteen thou a: d men, who would deceive the vigilance of our soul diced, and 01146 a lauding, wo.:ld set that country in a game fruin one and to the ether, and would produce, I fear, saegitinary struggles. There are mai.y violent Wren there, where, only aim it is to separate from us. Their plot was not ripe for execution. It has failed, but there are strong reasons to believe, that a great number bare congealed their designs, and only look OK a favourable opportunity. I hope there will not be any plait ;or an expedition among* you against Batavia and the Mat:rains, but the rage of wishing aloe, s to extend our d Mons is the peculiar chara"er of Lord and none of his colleagues have either the discernment or the suumge to moderate his ambition.

We received, at an early hour yesterday morning, a series of the Moniker,. to the 19th instant. The paper of the 16th contains a long letter from DE CAEN, Governor of the Isle of France, to the French Ministry of Marine, giving an account of the anion between the squadron under Rear Admiral Lrxoas and our China Fleet. It will be easily perceived, from the contents of the dispatch, that Lixoss has fallen inte disgrace. Many had conceived that the French official paper, in its usual style of gas conade and misrepresentation, would announce this shameful defeat as a victory, or at least a drawn battle; but the case was too strong even for Gallic ingenuity. Governor Dec aas admits that Liaois ran away most valiantly, and that for his own part he doubted the evidence of his senses, when the gallant Admiral returned without the China fleet, so certain was he of their capture, should the French squadron have the good fortune to fall in with them. An impulse is supposed to have been for merly given to the spirit of the British navy, by shooting an Admiral : BONAP Aare will, probably, sacrifice LINOIS to the national glory. Annexed to the A/onstage of the 16th, are two supplementary sheets, tilled with letters found oa board the Admiral .Iphu, taken on her way to India. They amount to 85 in number; but, with the ex ception of one from Lord G rNviti.E to the Mar quis of WeLLLiLIV, a second from the Hon. Htaa WeLLLSLEY to the same, and three or four others, they appear to be mete extracts. At the time the Admiral Aphn sailed in 1833, party spirit ran very high in this country, and invasion occupied the public mind as much as at the present moment. The letters, so far as they are quoted, contain no other rnauer, and are consequently no thing more than the political news of the day. T. know,however, the real sentiments ct soma of the principal performers upon the political stage at that must be at any time an objea of interest to the historian and politician. The letters, therefore, of Lord GatsvitLa and the /lon. H. Waaatsatv, which we have given at full length, if authentic, are very important documents. Of the rest we have copied tso or three as specimens. If we did not well know the mischievous spirit of the French Go. vernment, we should be at a loss to account for the insertion of the great majority of these letters, the publication of which can answer no possible purpose, except that of giving pain to a few individuals. There is, however, one remarkable feature coalmen to them all. The passages quoted represent the public feeling truly upon the great question of in vasion, so far as it respeas England. One corre spondent speaks of it as an improbable, but cer tainly a possible event. Another asserts, that if BON P shall date to make the attempt, he will be punished for his temerity; but they all agree that an attack upon Ireland mast prove successful. It is strange that Bos AAAAA a should inculcate such an idea of the state and spirit of England, after the pains he has taken to represent it as destitute of courage, and the easy prey of the invader. The Dutch Papers, the arrival of which we an nounced yesterday, contain no article of interest, ex. cept the Swedish Official Note, breaking off all po litical con: eaion with France. It will be found, with other articles of interest, in the Last Page. We have received New York Papers to the 14th List. They contain the legal proceeding upon the late fatal duel between Mr. &RR and General H•- No further accounts have yet been received of the East lndiamen lelt at St. Helena I considerable anxic:i is in consequence occasioned to those persons who have relations in India, as letters are on board firm almost all parts of the Peninsula, as well as the official accounts of the promotions in consequence of the late casualties. Several r.ew reAiments have been raised at each presidency, and the promotions must of course have ticti very rapid. Most of the China ships are now in dock, and making every preparation to proceed on their out ward bound voyage as early as possible. The British Merchants trading to Spain, waited on Thursday upon Lord Has sower, Secretary for the Foreign Department, to request that. our Govern. mein would allow those ships now freighted with goods for that country to sail unmolested to their various destinations. The chief argumen: which these Gentlemen advanced in favour of their request was, that the mercantile articles forming the cargoes Alluded to, consisted .1 goods adapted for the markets or Spain only, and therefore, in case of a prohibition by our Government, would ►ecome a serious loss to those Merchants who had made their arrangernests accordingly. The propriety of Allowing the imme diate departure of vessels with grain to relieve the Spaniards from the calamities of famine was also strennously u►ged. lord H•as° wa v could not, con sistent with his public ditty, afford much consola- tion. He however, hinted, that the Committee might draw up and preset a Petition or Memorial to the efeit menumwd. And thus the mow sow stands. - t ,~, ROKII. FAMILY.. wry mourn. SEPT. 27.
