SOLEM QUIS UICILItit VALIUM AUDLAT ? 'LONDON, SAITRDAY, JANUARY 4, 181.2. «e this day continue our exlrads from the Ame rican Papers which ,arrived yesterday. If any addi, tional proof were wanting of the hostile disposition of the American Governinent towards this country, arid of its servility,, its abject servility, to BUONA PARTE, we should find it in the Report of the Committee to which that part of the President's Speech, relative to foreign affairs, was referred. It is impossible to describe this extraordinary docu ment accurately, , without using language as coarse as that in which it is couched it is sufficient to sav, that it is.as violent and regardless of truth, as, if it had been drawn up by. ~BUONAPARTE himself. It asserts that we rob America, on the sole plea that she is robbed by France; whereas the fad is, that we have been fchced to adopt strong measures, in 'order to cuunteratt hostile decrees of BUONA -I.AIiTE, and prevent America from doing that ‘si.icli she has nianitesied the utmost eagerness to do, siz. to afford to FriAnce all the assistance of an adve Alty, under the cover of neutrality. These papers also contain the official statement of the American Finances, which do not appear to be in a condition very much calculated to encourage the hostile disposition of the Executive. It is • ad milted in substance; if not in terms, that the Go vernment cannot go on without a loan, and at the same time acknowledged that it is unable . to burrow. Hustilities have commenced between the Ame -fican,, and the Indians. The American General bOas , s that . the behaviour or his troops would have t i Q ne honour to veterans; and, as a proof of it, he admits that they were so completely surprised by the Indians, that the latter were in the camp before the Au.ericans were cut of their tents! It is with the deepest [egret that we announce the loss of his Majesty's ship Hero. For the details of melancholy event we mu,t refer our Readers to . a'► article from the Texel, which we have extraeted frotn the French Papers which arrived this morning. , The St. GL-tnwe and ihoPefence,were seen off Jut- Luct hy. a Rwisian ship the morning after the gale, and s,.!nluine hopes were entcrrtained of their satety.

PLYMOtJTH, JAN. 2...—Arrived the ship Concord, belonging to this port, WtontcomßE, master, from Prince Edward Island, with a cargo of timber, bound to this port for orders. About twenty leagues to the westward of Scilly, Captain WEDRICOMISE discovered a vessel running before the wind, with the Union downwards, and shortly afterwards a boat, well manned, was discovered leaving her, and making for the Concord, which turned out to be her crew, who bad abandoned the vessel, in . conse quence of h - having sprung a leak, which con tinued to increase. The deserted vessel was tire Wheat Sheaf, belonging to London, BURTON, mas ter ; with a cargo of potatoes, from Scilly, bound to Gibraltar ; she is a foreign built vessel, and cop pered very high.: the latter is also arrived, having • been towed in here by the Concord, on board which are the crew. Arrived this morning the Four Friends, belonging to this port, BALL, master, from Oporto; after a passage of 14 days, came a running ship with a cargo of fruit, bound to this port for orders ; there were not any ships of war at Oporto: a laige fleet of 'merchantmen were there, many of which were bound to London, and nearly loaded. It was ex peded a ship of war would shortly be appointed to take the trade from thence to England. Put in here this day to join convoy, the Mary, BAXTER, from London bound to Oporto. Arrived this day his Majesty's ship Dreadnought, 0198 suns, from the Baltic, last from Pot tsmouth ; Favourite, of 18 guns, Captain CLEMENT, from a cruize in the Channel; Helicon, of 14 guns, with a fleet of transports from the westward; the Fancy hired armed cutter with dispatches from Sir HARRY BURRARD NEALE, the Commander in Chief in Basque Roads; and the brig Alert, from Cork, with a cargo of provisions bound to London, put in here to join convoy. Tile ;Cossack sloop of war that arrived here on Sunday last from Ow Mediterranean, was this day released from quarantine. Sailed the American ship Charles for America. DEAL, JAN. 3.—By the Master of an American ship arrived here from the Baltic, which was one of the fleet under the St. George, we learn, that the said ship (the St. George) passed under the stern of his vessel on the 23d ult. during the • gale, ap parently all well (except as to the damage in her mast preciously icccircd in tho i3,4t), and was at that time about 200 miles from the coast of Jutland ; which, from the duration of the gale, he thinks she could not have reached : hopes are therefore still entertained of her safety. A man of suspicious appearance has been ap prehended here to-day on suspicion of being one of the murderers : he stands committed for examina- tion to•nnorrow. The following letter is taken from a Morning Pa per of this day : Westbourn Green, Tan. 2., 1812. SlR,—Having this morning had two paragraphs pointed out to me, in your Papers of Dec. 31 and the following day, which, if. uncontradideJ, are cal culated to injure both Mrs. C. Kemble, and myself very much in the public opinion, I beg. leave to ac. , quaint you that the intormation which t hey contain le; utterly false ; and I hope that you will allow me, through the medium of your valuable Paper, to warn their author, that if he does not desist from his base and cowardly attacks, I shall, though most unwil lingly, be compelled, in self-defence, to publish the wt.'s:AA correspondence between Mr. Harris, sen. and myself, with a brief statement of the treatment which Airs. C. Kemble and I have experienced from that Gentleman since we have been engaged in Covent-Garden Theatre ; or resort to such legal measures as will effectually , protect' our . characters from the assaults of anonymous calumny. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your very obedient servant, • CHARLES KEMBLE. LYCEUM.--The new Comedy of Right and Wrong was represented again last night, and expe rienced a more favourable reception than on its first appearance. The sentiments, though by no means charaaerised by novelty, are impressive, and, in general, well expressed. There is no perplexing intricacy in the plot, and, upon the whole, it may be considered as a tolerable medium play, exempt - from extreme improbability on the one hand, and inci dents of too trifling and familiar a cast on the other. But if the play had much less intrinsic merit, the general excellence of the aEling would render it in teresting and amusing. Yesterday a Gentleman arrived in this city from Lisbon, . who left the British at my about 14 days since, who were in perfect tranquility in winter quarters, the greater part in good health and spirits. The sick list, which a few months ago arnounted to 10,000, were then reduced w 5000, and daily de creasing.—(Exeter Paper). In consequence of the reported intention of Mr. BAILLIE declining the representAion of the city of Bristol, E. PIWTHEHOE, Esq. has announced himself a candidate. Sir S. llctstiLLY has already been recommended as a proper person to suc,eed Mr. 8A11.1.1 E.

AMSTErIDAM, DEC. 26.-We have received from the Texel details which cannot fail of being afflieting to humanity, occasioned by a gale of wind expe rienced in the North Sea. The ships overtaken by this tempest formed, as it appears, part of a convoy of more than too sail, returning fom Sweden to England, laden, it is believed, with warlike stores. At break of day, the 25th December, after a most dreadful night, a frigate, two brigs, and a ship of the line, were perceived at about half a league distante, from the coast of the Texel. The ship of the line was entirely dismastcd. Two brigs have been driven • upon the coast, where they were wrecked. Two brigs belonging. to his nijesty, and the privateer Furst, savtd 136 men from a ship which was wrecked, and have brought an English brig into the .Helier. The Captain of the Fare! declareg', that he saw a ship of the line, which he believes to be the Hero, and two brigs, perish, without it being possible for him to render them the least assistance. The men saved from the wreck add, that ten transports have been driven upon the banks of the Texel. The intelligence, in fact, which is re ceived from that island state, that it is surrounded by wrecks. Some thirty men, who gained the island by swim-' ming were saved.

The convent of the Capuchins and of Hesse, which were taken from the enemy, have been repaired, and placed in a state of defence, to serve as points of sup- , port to our trenches. " The enemy made three sorties to re-take the 'Gras, and establish his communication with the sea. Gen. BRONIKOUSKI, with the 117th 'Regiment, constantly repulsed them with considerable los. • " The place fires a great dcal, and is not •sparing of ammunition, but it does us no harm.

It is said they are not dine. rous. His brother, a Lieutenant of the 27th, receiv ed permission to visit hiM at the advanced posts be tween Elvas and Campo Mayor.

NEW YORK, DEC. 4. - --We are certain, that SCMO important change is in agitation, but we do not pre tend to know its extent. We believe, however, that the report of the Committee of Foreign Rela tions, a sketch of which we give this day, is very from conveying. the sense or feelings of the honour able reporters, or their superiors. Their policy may be good, and we hope good way come out of evil. Yesterthy, in consequence of an order from Go vernment, the specie that had• been shipped in the Hornet tor the purchase of French Goods, was re- landed. We learn, by the brig Champ/in, in seven days from Savannah, that about 50 of the French priva teersmen'who had been lodged in the Savannah jail, had been- released, and sailed in a schooner for Charleston, in company with the Champlin,—lt appears that these men, having been enlisted ar Charleston for the two Fieoel) privateers lately burnt at Savannah, had so recently arrived froth that Place, that they had not yet gone on board the privateers, and were not, dire'clly, engaged in the fracas that oc curred between the Ameriatif.-searnea and French . privateersmen. On this account they were rele.abea, and had gone back to Charleston. By the Triton, trom Calcutta, we have received a Oarnptilet, containing the new commercial regula tions, by which it appeals, that all foreign shpt, froth the 30th of May last, have' to pay double duties on their imports and exports. The export duty on piece goods, is 7i per cent—ard ihe dulls on imports, from 10 to 20 per cent. according to the articles. The last National Intelligencer contains the fol lowing article, which appeals to have been clielated by no less 2 person than the PRESIDEN7 himself, if not written with his own hand : We. have seen with n o less surprise than . con cern, an attempt in a Baltimore Federal Paper, to make an impression that, while a tone of great de cision is assumed in the Message to Congress, and its all the public acts of the Government, a .secret sup plication was intended to be made to Cleat B , by a communication which, was to be forwarded to that country by the Hornet. Nothing is more re mote from the fact -than such an insinuation. We . are confident th a t a ll the acts of Guveiument ate in 'strict unison ; and' that the instructions winch may be given to cur Ministers 'abroad, will corms pond in every circumstance with the tone - assumed in the Message tc Congress. "It is known that the- Hornet is now ready to take dispatches to our Ministers in Europe, particu larly to these in Fiance and England, audit is e.N. , pecred that she will sail in a lew days.
