(Signed) PETER OuliRIL. CLARKE. His Imperial Majesty has been pleased to lay this aft of I, ..fication before a council summoned spe- cially for that purpose, that it might be compared both with the instruaions given to M. D'Oubril hire, and wrh the orders .--mt to him at Vienna, before his derarture from that city ; and it hat appeared, if: it the Counsellor of State, Oubril,when he signed the convention, had not only departed from the instruaions lie had received, but had afted direcey contrary to the sense and intention of the t I. c msmission given him. The Imperial Council, with a common feeling for the honour of the country, cid abiding by Cue known principles of His Impe- . - Majesty, Which are tottn4,l in the strictest jUs tire, have declared, as their common opinion, that act, which is in no manner conformable to the views of His Imperial Majesty, cannot receive His tajzsty's ratification, and His Imperial Majesty has rdered firs to be notified to the French Govern went. His Majesty, at the same time, has sgr.i fied his willingness,to renew the negotiations for peace, but only on such principles as are suitable to dignity of His Majesty. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has bade an of ficial commtLiication, on this stihjea, to all the Fo reign Ministers accredited to this Court. NAPLES, AVG. It.

The day before yeterday, the General-in-Chief, Michaud, received a Courier from Paris ; after which, a Council was held in the Hotel of the War Department, on the breaking up of which, a great activity was remaked in the Military Department (Mikis ; Ordinances, Expresses, and Couriers, were sent off in the night, and during the whole of yes terday. All the troops have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march ; the greater part go to Zeyst, where a camp will be formed. The Commanders of the diffetent corps were yesterday appointed. Among them is General Dumoncean, who commands the military division of Groningen Overy ssel. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 9. Every thing in this coentry has suddenly assumed a warlike appearance, since the arrival of courieu from Paris, and from the King at Aix-la-Chapelle. The report, that France has already declared war against another power, is as yet unconfirtned. We wait with impatience the developement of this crisis. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, Szrri sIBER 2). A successor to Mr. Fox is not yet appointed.— Earl SPENCER continues to transaCt the business ot the Foreign Office. The Leander, vihieh annoyed the Americans so much upon the Halifax station, has arrived at . Portsmouth. We understand that she has been ordered home, as a proof of the conciliatory spirit of this country towards the United States. The Ilambisrgh Mail due on Wednesday arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 13th instant. M. D'Ou Bair's treaty, which the Emperor of Russia refused to ratify, has been published in a Supplement to the St. Petersburgh Court Gq: , tte, of the 25th last. It stipulates, that Russia shall give up the Rocca di Cattaro, and Dalmatia, to France, acknowledge the independence of the Seven Islands, and never keep more than 4000 troops in the Islands of Ls•sia ; in return fir which, France graciously condescends to facilitate the return of the Montenegrins home, from Cattaro and Dalmatia, and of the Russians from the Seven Islands, and undertakes, that the French army shall evacuate Germany, and• arrive in Franco within three months from the issuing of the orders for the surren ier of ,Cattaro. These are the leading ar ticles of the treaty, which is characterised in Tae Supp:careat to the Saint Petersburg Court Ga zette, as " not in any meaner conformable to the dignity of His MAJISTY, to his engagements to his allies, and to the tranquillity of Europe "—The treaty stipulates no solid advantage in favour of Russia. She is to be excluded entirely, for what is a force of 4000 men in the lonian islands, from all influence and interference in the South of Eu rope? And in return for these sacrifices BIN a 1. Aar e consents to evacuate Germany, until he can find a new :ireteace to over-run it again with his Errors. This treaty the Emperor of Rus s ia has, with the unanimous advice of Isis Council, refused to ratify, and its rejeiflion has thrown the Continent into a ferment. The Prussian, Russian, French, and Dutch troll's are all in motion, and every ar ticle breathes nothing but war.

It ‘vould have, pethaps, hten the .better course to have obtained possession first, and then chose his title. It was reported yesterday, that Prussia had declared war against France. Another rumour stated, that France had declared war against Prus sia. These reports, we believe, originated in the warlike tone of the Papers brought by the Ham burgh Mail.

GNTl.ENlE:sf—Although I rosy nut hare the honour of being personally known to some of your Craperation, 1 never theless consider it as a duty to the commercial interests sf Grear-Brasin, and a respect due to you as one of its great manufacturing towns, to state, in a few words, that the conqa:st of this place opens an extensive channel to the manu factures of Great Britain. atherto the trade of this country has teen cramped beyond belief, and the msnufoctura of Elreut Britain could only hod their war to this rich pros inre by neutral bittonas and contra barikintriguees bet frawa this moment in trade wol be thrown open. I need not point rut to merchants of your extensive in 6wmation, how beneficial the sommerco of this hitherto ne glected country will be; and you may form some judgm .itt of its iinmenee population by that of this city, whir:h alone con tains 70,0..0 ioliabitanta s eionting all sorU of goods of European manufacture. The ptoductions of this country are indigo, tobacco,Vincenta • wool, cotton, tiger skins, seal skint, cuppera-, fits, dried tongues, b:ef and ham., saffron, cochineal, cocoa, hemp, hair, wheat, gums, drugs, geld, silver; and precious stones, exclusive of Irides and tallow, which I consider the great staple, one million (out hundred thousatiffor the former being annually exported. The short time we ham's been in possession, and the hurry of business, will not admit of my giving you any further infor mation for the present, bet if I can obain a list of the articles most wauted I will enclose it. I have the honour to be, Gen tlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, HOME PO PFLA.M. The above letter is circular. Liverpool, Man. c: ester, and all the other great manfatturing towns, have received a copy of it. The following account was yesterday received at LLOYD'S: " The Tippo Sirib, from Savannah, lost near Li verpool, spoke on the 10th tilt. in lat. 33. 40. long. ('s). 20. the French Squadron ; and on the 13th, in kat. 42 16. long. 44. 90. the Squadron under com mand of Sir J. B. WARM:, and received a number of letters from the Admiral's ship, the iltria:oir fri gate, which unfortunately went dawn in the Tppo Sad )." There is obviously some mistake either in tha dates or in the account of the latitude and longitude in which the two squadrons are represented to have been seen, because, it is impossible that the Tsppoo Stith could have been on the 10th in long. 69, and on the 13th in long. 44. The Funds flu.auated a good deal in the course of yestet day, but they left off at the prices at which the market opened. Yesterday morning, His MAJESTY, Princesses AuousvA, SOPHIA, and ASCU A, attended by Ge neral MANNINON AM, the Hon. Mr. BULK LILY, and Lady Geottei ANA BULK SLEY, took their usual ride in Windsor Forest. tier Marusrv, Princess ELIAS SETH, and Lady luctitsr eft, took an airing in their carriage and four, by Old Windsor. Lord AUCKLAND attended His Mai usv v in Council, on Wednesday, in his official capacity, as President of the Board of Trade, and laid before him the different proceedings that had taken place between him, the Committee of the Privy Council, and a number of Merchants, upon the subielt of opening a trade with Buenos Ayres; when, after due deliberation thereupon, His MaJesv, v, by the advice of his Privy Council, was pleased to sign an Order for opening a trade with that place. We, aaderstand it is exaCily according to the rules ()b -lamed in trading to the West Indies. On all linens and goods, of Russian manufatture, imported into Buenos Ayres, a high duty of 2.5 per cent. is to be imposed. We likewise understand another Order of Coun cil was made for taking off the fifteen days per formance of quarantine, imposed upon vessels trad ing from the Baltic to the islands of Jersey, Guern sey, &C. The Romeo, CARBON, from Virginia, is detained, and sent into Dover. Our next accounts from our gallant Command ers, in South America, we have no doubt will in form us, that other towns and provinces are in pos session of His Niamey's troops; as before the Norris:au left Rio dc la Plata, Sir Hoyt POPHAM had dispatched a sloop to the Cape, for the ai3th Regiment, which is 1,000 rank and file. This was to have been the Corps employed in the first in stance; bat Colonel VASSALS. being next to Sir DAVID BAIRD is command, i.e could not spare him. This objeßion being done away, by the ar rival of Colonel BAIRD, of the 83d Regiment, at the Cape, we have no doubt, but that meritorious and excellent Officer. and his fir., corps, are now gathering laurels and dollars in South America. Colonel %PAM\ IL is idolised by Sir Home POPHAM and Grneral &Rayons". The 38th were under the command of the latter for two years, in Ireland, be fore they sailed with him to the Cape, and lie consi ders him es one of the belt Officer_ of the age. and the Regiment as only equalled by few, and not ex celled 13 the service. Gcaeral BARUPORD is superior to all praise. as a rapier. LIVERPOOL, SurEuzco. I. (EXTRACT OT A trvven.) We have the high ,rratifiation of annmincing to our readers, that on Monday evening, bitweeniv e and six o'clock, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accompanied by his illustrious 11: , -lhor, th e Duke of Clarence, arrived eat Knowsley, in thi s neighbourhood. He was rat on t!ie other tide of Prescot, by a detachment rof t',e Liverpool Light Horse, and the Knowsley Vcduoteers, who escortit him to the mansion of the Earl of Dais'. Royal Brothers were attended by Lord and LaCy Jersey, Lord Granville Ltveson Gower, Li l l Petersham, Mr. Robert Hesthcote, Major Bloom field, Colonels Leigh and Braddyll, &c. &:. This day, His Royal Hitliness will be wi;ti.d upon at Knowsley, by the Worshipful the Nl.iyor, the Recorder, and the other Officers of the Coup s. ration, to offer to His Royal Highness the freedom of the Borough of Liverpool, which will be pre sented in a gold box ; and to request the hr,nour of his company to dine with them to-morrow, at the New Assembly Rooms, adjoMing Mr. Lillymares Hotel, in Castle street. Oriels arc issued to the Volunteer Corps in this toiret, to parade at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and we helive it is intended they shall meet His Royal Highness at the entrance of the town, for the purpose Of escorting him in his intended survey of it, previous to his sit. ing down to dinner. It is understood, that His Royal Highness, attended by his friends, still enter the town by way of Lo . w.hill, passing throu;:ii Lime-street, down Rstneiagh-stria, Chardh-srreet, Lord-street, and into Cattle-street, through the New.' Exchange Buildings,snd Chapel -street, to the Fort, where a salute will be fired from the battery.— The procession will then return sound the head of Georges Dock, along the Parade, when another salute will ho fired from the Princes: frigate. His Royal Highness will then proceed to survey the Old Dock, Salthouse Dock, King's and Queen's Dock, and pass up Bridgewater-street, through Great George's•square, Into Great Gnre street, Duke-street, Rodney -street, and Clareace street. From thence lie will proceed to the &ti tanic Garden, where a cold collation will be prepared for the refreshment of the Noble Visi tors, who will then return to town to prepare for dinner, which is to be served at six o'clock, and at eight o'clock the illumination will commence. The preparations which have now, for snore than a week, been traking for these, are nearly completed, aid we have no doubt but they will exhibit a speaacle worthy at the occasion, and such as the inhabitants of Liverpool have never before witnessed. The Body Corporate in this have taken the lead, and the present appearance of the Town Hall is a sufficient indication of its approaching splendour. Among the respeaable personages who have received cards of invitation to ditie with His Royal Highness to-morrow, we may mention, exclusive of his particular friends, who accompany him, the names of the Earl of Derby, Sir Thomas Stanley, Sir Thomas lihilrymple Hesketh, Sir Philip Hough ton, Sir William Gerrard, Henry Blundell, Esq. of Ince ; Nicholas Ashton, Esq. the Members of the Common Council, and the principal Merchant and Gentlemen in the town.
