W. FAWI,ENER. At the Court at the Quctn's Palate, the 17th of September, 1806, PRESENT, The KING'S Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

W. TAWICSNER. TIEIT.'_% BRITISH PRKSS. LONDON, MONDAY, Strrsisaut t 2. The following intelligence was, on Saturday, re ceived at LOYD'S : "The Alessi', Gamiest, from St. Vincent's, is arrived in the Clyde. She sailed on the 10th of Au gnst. Five days after, off St. Martin's, she fell in with His M est Y'S sloop Mdsmile, who informed her, that, on the Bth of' August, Admiral Sir Rice- MID STK *CHAN. with thelollowi ng ships of the line, arrived at flarbadoes, viz. the Caro►, Audarioas,Ter rake, Alowape, ae;lti.le, a-Ilona, and Triumph. On the 24th of July, Sit HICUARD STIRACHAM, with the above ships, v.-as cruising eff St. Martin's, or the Western Island, and fell in with a sloop of war from the West Indies, bound ta England with dis patches, which gave him the infot m ation of Admiral WILL•UIit rz and Juana, Bortz.e A arc's scluzdron *riving at Martinique. He immediately set sail for B arbadoes, making his pusage in so short a time as fourteen days. Immediately on the arrival of Sir R. ST aatitmc at Berbadoes, he proceeded down to Martinique, which place he would reach in about sixteen hours. There is some clmce that Sir Ri ca alto maybe so fortunate as to fall in with Admiral Wixcaustures sqadron, as, on the 10th of August, they were about three degrees to the westward of Bermuda, and, on the 9th of August, Admiral Sir RICHARD STRACHAH would be off Martinique, which leaves the latter about six days sail astern." We may still entertain hopes that Wt Lc/. l` ETZ'S squadron will not return in safety to a French port. The Gaulle of Saturday night contains His MA. JES rv's Order in Council fcr opening a trade with Buenos Ayres, and its dependencies, according to the regulations in force between this coudtry and its colonial possessions in the West Indies and America. The arrangement made by Sir Home Po: SIAM, for the reduction of the duties on imports, is confirmed, with the exception of German linens, which, for the present, remain subje& to the old duties. We are happy to observe, that the importation of slaves is totally prohibited. This prohibition, while truly grateful to the friends of humanity, must tend to the distress of the Spanish Government ; as, of the great number of slaves imported into Buenos Ayres., front Africa, the greater part were sent round by Cape Horn to work the gold ana silver mines in Pers. The Geriene also contains His MAJISTY'S Order in Council for permitting the importation, in neutral ♦essels. into our West India Islands, for 12 months ensuing, of lumber, staves, and all kinds of provi. sion, with the exception of beef, pork, and butter, and also the exportation of rum, molasses, and all ether commodities, except sugar, indigo, cotton, coffee. and cocoa. This is the first eiercise of the authority vested in the Privy Council by the Al of last Session, which was produiive of such warm and length ened debates in both Houses. Since the passing of the Bill, the Board of Trade has been almost daily occupied in ascertaining the pradicability of supplying the Colonies wholly from the Mother Country. The Order of Council thews, that the Board have not yet determined that it is predicable to the full extent. We stated, in a former Paper, that the capture of Buenos Ayres had filled the commercial world with joy, and given a great 'pm to mercantile speeuLstion. SOlll2 of our Grub-street Sans-csleites affed to sce in it only a source of sor row. Nye shall not, however, administer to their vanity, and insult the good sense of our readers, by enteriug into a detail of general arguments TO prove the advantages of extending our trade and iaercar t ing oar industry. These are well known ae the vital causes of that almost supernatural energy which this country has evinced since the breaking oat of the Prenth Revolation.-0 Our naval vic tories," says a modern writer, .1 which have raised the reputation of our arms, and secured the inviola bility of our shores, may be traced to cnrennercial sources, and their brilliancy will not be tarnished by owning the origin from whence they Sow. The bolts of war are forged upon our anvils, and the banners of victory are woven in our looms."— Those writers who argue against the capture of iluentis Ayres as an enterprise that will not pay its expenses; and consequently will be a load about the neck of this country, instead of a means of buoyancy, take it for granted that Govern ment means to conquer and retain the possession of South America, We should be sorry to see this country embarked, at this moment, in so wild and vast a Neje& We do not conceive the aßual pos session and ownership of South America necessary to oar purpose, The only war which BOMA/Mt r a has been able to wage against us, is a war against our trade and manufactures. He has endeavoured to exclude them from France, Holland, and Switzer lend. By opening a new market at Buenos Ayres, apd thence disseminating them through the vast eirainent . of South America, we defeat his pur pose. The 'dull ilostenion of Holland. Switzer. land, and France, was not necessary to our com mercial aaivity. Upon the same principle, we want only the friendship of South America, and not its possession, for the benefit of our trade.— But it bas been said, that the manufatintes of Great Britain, already find their way to South America,. and that the only advantage obtained, consists in this, that the goods which used to be imported cir• cuitously, and in Spanish vessels, will in future go dired from this country.—Now this is a fallacy. The great °Ned of our Legislature is and ought to be to diueminate our manufadures through South America, by means of the native Powers, and to bring them into general use, by introducing them at a cheap rate. The reverse is the case at present, for every part of South America is most scantily supi.issd with English merchandise; and, indeed, in some parts, English merchandise is totally unknown. The po • licy of Spain has not seen the advantage of a small gain upon an immense population, cc mpared an exorbitant monopoly operating npon viduals. • The whole province of Chili ha: no oth're supply, but what is derived from four or five iniAl vessels anually froin Lima, with a few artfelestraq: heavy dutiz3, and consequently its revenu e s do • 4 7.. defray the expences of its Govirnmmt. English Government unders:ands the navare trade better, and will not be likely to fall s ame error. But, leaving all eoramerc;.:l aside, we may surely be allowed to SA tilat capture of Buenos Ayres may have some weigl% in a negotiation for peace. it his not cu*: us much; and when the question of ct•.r.cessons, titutions, and equivalents, COTEVE into play, Lae": Ayres will certainly be considered of some 1.-.i t lf; and value. Sir FaANCIS VINCENT attended yesterday at tl:; Foreign Office, from 12 to 5 o'clock, and 3 :•rsri, espelation prevailed of the arrival of A from France, but none had arrived at a hut night. A rumour plevailed in the best-inforrr•.ed circlet last night. that Lord Howlc woald en,aeA Mr. Fox as Secretary of State for Forrig Affairs, and that L rd SPENCE% would i . e.:unlit his former situation at the Admiralty. We h„ i reason to expect, that, at all events, the nee pointments, whatever they may be, will be tets . ii speedily.
