NEW YORK OCT. 31.—The privateer brig Portsmouth, Shaw, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, the 19th Octobur, bringing in 260 bales and cases of British goods, said to be valued at 260,000 dollars, winch she took out of the James, Messenger, bound froth London to Que bec, and laden with dry goods, ruin, gin, brandy, and SO casks of gunpowder, besides clothes, &c. for the army in Canada. The James sailed with a fleet of 44 sail, from .Plymouth,. under prOtec tiou of a:trigate, and pitrted in a gale about the 4th Octoier Off the Banks of Newfoundland. The "James 'was thrown on her beam-ends, and nearly the wh,,le convoy was dispersed. The fleet con veyed 8000*troops. Capt. Messenger haS stated, that the cargo on boald the James was invoiced at 100,0001. sterling, of which the Portsmouth took out -35,000/. worth; as, per inwice. ,The sale of the goods at Durham, on Thursday, captured by the Portsaiouth, on her former cruise, amounted to upWards of 190,000 dollars ; . ,.' . ocl allowing the goods she-has now brought in, to average as much at the sale. as those at Durham, (and there is no doubt they wilt more, as they are better adapted ,to the season) they will amount to more than 362,0,00 dollars ; thus netOng to the owners, and all concerned 'in that vessel, upwards of 512,000 dollars in the short space' of 33 days. The privateer schooner Grampus, late Murphy, belonging to Baltimore, consigned to John White and Co: arrived in this port yesterday, from a five nionths'-cruise off the Western Islands, dur lug which she made six prizes, manned four of theism, and ordered them in. On the 4th Sep tember fell in with the British sloop of war Ariel, - disguised, and after a severe engagement-, in ‘shich she received several shot between wind and water, succeeded in beating her off. Capt.Murpby, during the engagement, received a grape-shot, whi c h carried away part pi his right jaw and tongue; And a musket-ball at the same instant in his right thigh, but reluctantly permit ted hintself to be carried below. He survived three clays af terwards., ,H. Young and J. Abbott were also killed in the engagement. The Grampus put into Lanzarote, and was,there informed the United , States Peacock on the 2d September had been there for water, and finding none, had sailed the next day for Fuertebentura. At Lanzarote they. landed 12 prisoners, who informed that during her • cruise the Peacock had sunk two British sloops.

APPROXIMATION TO REBELLION. NEWHAVEN, CONNECTICUT, OCT. 24--His Excellency the Governor on . ThurSdaylast'sent Message to both Houses, cppminiicating a-letter from the Governor of the Commonwealth of Mas sachusetts, and also fronf'the rresident of the Senate, and Speaker-of the House of Represen tatives of that Stfite, inviting then' State to send Delegates to'a CoilV4tion of the New England States, to he h e ld atlicilford, in December next. On the motion of Mr: Denison, the Message and tfi c Documents accompanying the same, were re-. (erred to the Joint COMMitte, to-whom was re-: feri-ed the Speech of the Governor at the opening. of the Session, and the- subject of tlic defence of The State. BERmuDA, Nov. fl.—Admiral Cockburn is pre-. paring here for sea, in the Albion, 74, with every dispatch. • Rumour says, he goes first to the Che sapeake, thel against Savannah,' with the battalion of Marines lett by him in the Chesapeake, an d t h e remainder of the Bourdeaux troops. The Portia sloop arrived "here on the 3d inst. We understand she is the avant courier' of, a naval and military, force, which left 'Portsmouth and Plynionth in . 'tire tildat 'of StptetAet-, t6t s 'ill a t'Cd , r The caninrand 'of den-. Kean, and the orders of taptain Walker, of his Majesty's ship Wilford. The- roor ave i , tt tire :Bedford, Norge, Alteste, Belle "Wi t Hydra, &wet., Goi*goil , and a few 'transports. We hourly expect their arrival ; and the presumption is, that Admiral Cockburn will sail With the troops and these ships on an expedilion ag-ainst . the southern States of America. On the Ist inst. the Amide, Sir I'. Trowbridge, arrived from Halifax.: on her way, she Made three rteaptures, 'one of them of Ifteat valve, being a large ship laden with army clothing and army atcoutrements, - The Pigmy arrivedat the same time with dispatches from England, and. sailed again to look after the Commander in Chief' --but where he is, no one knows. He left Ha lifax in the Tounant on the 4th tilt. and steered to the southward. The Menelaus is here ; - and we look for the Severn s from Halifax. The transport ship Sovereign, bound from Eng. land to Quebec, was'wrecked on the 18th October last, on the island of St. Paul, Gulph of St. Law rence she bad on board nine Officers, and 186 soldiers of the 49th, 58th, and 81st regiments, 2 s ervants, 21 women and children ; in all, includ ing the Captain, Mate, and 19 seamen, firming total of 236 persons. Only 37 lives were saved The Sovereign was sailing at seven knots an hour ; and it being about seven o'clock in. the evening, the rock on which she split was not observed above three, minutes before she struck. The survivors 'were taken off •the island two days after, by the Champion, and arrived here on the 3d instant.-- They had saved but a small quantity of provi blows, I.___... .n.cl ..ery leins Lieut.

Die Champion, transpOrt arrived here on the 3d instant, from 'Portsmouth, under convoy of the Liffey frigate.. She was captured on the 9th of Oct. by the Mammoth, American privateer, alter an ' action of an hitly and twenty minutes ; when the Champion's guns Were s ail disabled, and herrig gingniuch cut. She was • plundered, during 47 hours, of her cargo, water, and provisions,- to a considerable amount, and then given up, leaving Captain Kirby 'to proceed •where." he pleased.— Captain K. was providentially led to the relief of the survivors of the wreck of - the Sovereign, on the Island .of St. Paul, from having observed d smoke on the Island, whiCh, induced him to ap proach it, when he pet ceived signal flags of dis tress, and - in' cqnsevetice hove-to. The Mam moth captured the Mentor transport, bound for this place, on 'the 7th .of October, and sent her in. The fallowing Communication from Halifax was on Saturday receiv.Fd at 14LOY D'S I _‘ The Bacchante arrived here a few days ago with a .fine brig privateer,-called the Mac Donough, of 200 tons, and 74 then, out 22 hours from Portsmouth, N. H. and entirely new. There were td masters of .merchantmen serving before the mast, for want of better employment. The Bulwark has sent in the Harlequin schooner, from the same port, on her first cruire; she is nearly 400 tons, and has 150 men. The Leander haS brought in the General Put nam schooner privateer of 130 tons,_ and SO men. The mania for privateering is increasing in the :linerican ports. At Boston, and in the neighbour hood, every slip is appropriated to building them of very large dimensions. The American ship privateer of 22 guns, (long nines, and two S2*.pound carronades). and ono hun dred and fifty men,. sailed from Portsmouth, Ni". H.. on the 91st ult. - on a cruise; and it is istroagly reported, that the President and Constitution frigates are at sea, which is more than probable, ae by tire 141 A accounts they were. only waiting for an opportunity to get out. One of our frigates is just going to sea with 40 men short of her complement, and most of our ships on this station are in the same statik-_ How unthinking. of tha Admiralty, when, so mane seamen are' tuned loose in England, that they do not send out a-suffi cient number (two thousand at least are wanted) to fill up the deficiency in the squadron. The credit of the Captains and Officer's of our frigates are at stake, independent of the . honour of the country; for the American frigates are not only superior in the numbers, but in the quality of their-sea men. if any thing is intended to be done to the northward in the Spring, 20,000 men will be required; for though the Northern States are better disposed towards England than the Southern, that jealous, feeling resulting from the block adeof their ports, and the invasion of their shores, will rouse Civil. en messe. The harbours from Cape Cod to the. entrance of the Penobscot, are made very strong, and the line of battle ships Independence and Washington, the former at Boston, and the latterat Portsniouth, are fitted with guns, and intend ed as' floating batteries. There are privateers off this har bour, which pluutkr every vessel , corning in or going out, notwithstanding we have three line of battle ships, four fri gates, and four sloops now here.:4 THE Aam Y. , Lieut.-General DISNEY is to sit in the Court ow Sir .

LONDON, MOIVD-li', DECEMBER 19, 1814. ONE o'CLocg..—There arc no at what ever frt. the rost - Oifice from the' Continent, so that the account in the Deal Letter must be in correct. Stocks have suffered a depression of about one-fourth per cent. . Some further gleanings from Transatlantic Journals, and the winding-up of the scattered intelligence which bas arrived froth America by ►ariuu3 tonveyauces during the past w ck, Nvi 1 I be found in our preceding tannins. Their:chieT la tex-est is contained in the exhibition of the state of Parties in that" country. We 'observe that at least in the Eastern and richest Provinces the po litics of MAntsobt and his faction are unpoptilar to a degree ‘iiiich absolutely threatens the dissolu tion of the Union. This affords another strong inducement to our Government Co be as firm and persevering in (he American contest as they have been in the European war ; whose cocclusion has So gloriously rewarded their labours. Similar conduct will infallibly produce.a similar result ; and the humbled 'arrogance of Yankee 'hostility will be speedily reduced to crouching submission at the feet of 13i itish Power. In our pages today, we lament to notice, there are too many paragraphs detailing instances of the fatal effects cat the late gales, and we dread even to open our Port Letters, as from the violence and long continuance of stormy weather, we can not but look for further melancholy tidings of the same description. The strong snnth-west winds have prevented the French packets from sailing, and we are Still without intelligence from the Continent.—Should we nnfortnnately be thus cut ofl• from foreign - news for a few days loner„ there will (according t to our patriotic and speculating Jo u r na l s ) b e a new war in Germany, and probably eight or ten decisive battles fought, to the great arnozement of all beholders.

BARON D'IMBERT.--.* The Morning Chronicle, which . is always ready to fish in troubled waters, .on Saturday last inserted a paragraph reipecting this Person, insinuating blame against Goliern ,_. meat for ordering him to leavb the kingdom, and, this day it contains a long corteipondence on the subject. As the, Baron has nhitle-an Appeal'ulicit a crause in- ;lie Alien Act, and theiTfore -as the . inquiry into the grounds of that Appeal is pend• ing at this time, we do not think it proper to ray any thing respecting the BaroWs character 41;c4 conduct at present,- further than to express our surprise at theross impropriety of the 'Morn ing -chronicle inpublishing the aforesaid corres pondence before a decision on this, appeal has taken place. The Party Organ is to.day rioting in all the luxuries of hope :—there has . been no arrival irom the Continent for some time, and its bril liant imagination has conjured up, and . dwelt upon, so many delightful images of degradation and distress -to Great- Britain, that its raptures are unbounded. In this " Limbo of Fools," we will leave these infatuated wretches undis turbed—,we will leave the Writer in the Chro nicle • to tell his Country, impudently, that ." ha owns be rejoices" in the disasters which he fancies have befallen her at Vienna ;—if not a patriotic, is a candid confession, and Candid confession is good for time soul: :We will also leave bins to ridicule the " moral influence" of Great Britain.
