RUPTURE OF THE NEGOTIATION WITH FRANCE. THE event which. .we have long expe&ed, and which weyontured to prediEt with confidenCe on Monday last, has at -last• happened. The Negotia tion for Peace has comPletelyfailed, and Lord 1.,u -'IE&DAIE quits, Paris this day: ,This intelligence reached the Admiralty yesterday,' by a Telegraphic Dispatch, and. the following Copy of it was traps ruitted by Lord.Howicx. to the LORD MAYOR;-be tween four and five o'clock : , " Lord HowicK presents his compliments to the LORD MAYOR, and has the honour, to transmit, for bis Lordship's information, a Copy of a Message just received from Deal. " Dqwning.street, 06t. 8. " Telegraphic Message from Deal, 7 Minutes past 1, P. M. OE}. 8. a A Messenger is arrived—Lord LAUDERDALE quits Paris To-morrow (this day)—Clyde ordered to attend." The'LORD MAYOR, upon the receipt of this in telligence, immediately sent. it. to-LEOYD'S, and re paired - himself to the Royal Exchange, which was at that time crowded with Merchants, and read to them the Letter he had received from Lord Howi'cx.' As soon as his. Lordship had finished reading the Letter, the Gentlemen present testified their satisfaaion at• the intelligence by three distinct cheers: His Lordship then went to LLOYD'S, where' the intelligence was:.receivedwith•equal joy and en thnSiasni. The Telegraphic Dispatch reached the :AdMiralty between one and two o'clock, but . Min isters, with great- propriety, delayed communicating the news to the LORD MAYOR till after the Money Market on the Stock Exchange had closed. • The Messenger who brought the account of Lord LAUDERDALE'S intended departure from Paris was Mr. LYAL. He lett Paris very early on Tuesday morning, and landed yesterday at Deal about noon, having crossed the Channel in an open BOat. He arrived in town last night with his Dispatches., It is probable.that some event must:have etxurred atter , ord LAUDERDALE dispatched BASILIC°, to induce him to accelerate his. depatture'froa Paris, because it is evident that when his Lordship, sent off that Messenger he intended to wait for the receipt of Dispatches from England_belore he quitted PariS. Ross, the Messenger, who was the : bearer of those Dispatches, left 'London late on Tuesday night, reached Deal yesterday morning, and embarked. on board the Specultitor Lugger a few hours before the arrival of LY.kt. from Boulogne; so that the two Mes sengers must have passed each other'in crossing the Channel. This sudden determination of Lord LAUDERDALE to return, has given rise to a report that BONAPARTE, finding there was no chance of bringing the Negoti ation to a successful iSsue, had sent orders to the Bri tish Minister to leave Paris. This report depends en tirely upon conjecture ;. but after the specimens we have had of the violent and ungovernable temper of BONAPARTE, it certainly is not improbable. We have no doubt, that this important intelligence will be re ceived with as much sati,sfaCtion by the Nation at large as it was by the Merchants on the Exchange of London, Because it was obvious from the con ,;ll6t of BONAPARTE from the very moment of the commencement of the present Negotiation, that an honourable and permanent Peace was not to be ex ptcted and we trust ' there is not a man in the Country so abject as to wish for one upon other terais. He has never for a single in stant paused in his career of aggression and in sult. Under such circumstances, to have -con , eluded a Peace, even if we had to contend singly, and that our arms had been unsuccessful, against France, would have been as injuriOus .to the interests a; it would have been incompatible with the hon6urnf t,lis Country: but now .w hen vi&ory attends our armS every quarter of the Globe—when . -the most va.. 1 .able conquests are opening inexhaustible sources ciF commerce and prosperity—and When all the -Nirth of Europe, roused by the. continued aggres si his and insatiable ambition of the Ruler of France, 'is on the point of appealing to arms to prote& . what remains of the independence of the Continent,. t have made . Peace, Unless upon such, terms as af forded a rational prospe& of its .being peimanent, woulL: have been throwin - ;away all the. advantages ive at present possess, and affording the most effec tual assistance to France in the accomplishment of her plan fur the subjugation of the Continent. Lord LAUDEiDALE may be expe6ted in England about Saturday. The Funds this morning experienced a consider-. able depression ; at twelve o'clock Omnium .had fallen above three per Cent. The Ilanzburgn Mail, due on Sunday, arrived at ? a late hour last night. Hostilities have not yet commenced between Prussia and France, and some of the • accounts state that ,it is' probable the dif . ferences may even yet be ad , iusted. - however, appears very improbable. If. BOI , IAPARTE had any expeaation of an amicable termination of his differ ences with Prussia, he certainly would not suffer the Paris Papers to hold the language they do,, when speaking of the-PruSsian Government; nor would he .haVe permitted, his own Letter to the KING of BA VARIA to have been published. LA FOltE$T, the French Minister, had not, however, quitted Berlin at the date of the last accounts.. The Russians, to the number 'Of 90,0300. men, are stated to have reached Silesia. Qv Tuesday morning the Ardent, Captain Dos- NELLY, sailed from Plymouth, with the Transports having on board the 4oth Regiment, destined for Buenos Ayres. They will be joined off Falmouth lijr the other Troops destined for that quarter. THE Extracts respecting MIRANDA, 'lvhich we have taken from the American Papers, 'strongly support all our prediEtions as to the probable success of his Expedition. It appears that he has effected , a.landing. on the Spanish Main, that the Town of Coro had fallen into his powei; that in several con tests with the Spaniards he had been successful, and was daily increasing in strength by the acquisition of a great number of the Natives who had flocked to his Standard: He had derived considerable assist ance from a British Frigate, as well as from our Is lands. In any other condition of the world we might discrorage any attempts to overthrow the atithority of a Parent State ; but as the People , in whose cause MIRANDA has embarked are held in the most ab jeCt slavery; a paramount regard for the rights and happiness of mankind, independently of the relative situation between Great Britain and 'Spain, induces us to wish prosperity to an Enterprize which will relieve a numerous People from the Most servile bondage, and open new sources of advantage to the commercial spirit of this Country. We understand. that, .at the Privy Council held yesterday, his Majesty was pleaSed to order .Parlia ment to be prorogued from the 2gth inst. to the 27th Of November, when it is to meet for the dispatch of bu4iness.

The wind was right a-head : between six andseVen o'clock it be- . . gan to freshen, with ,a thick fog and small rain, that made it extremely dark. About midway of their passage, the Boat ran aground just when she was in stays ; the skid took the ground, which, with the pressure of wind in the sails, laid her down_ so that she took in a quantity of water. The place where she grounded being steep, she slipped off into 'deep., water and instantly sunk; thUs 'were they obliged ' to commit themselves to ther. mercy of the waves:• • • Mr. EVERETT. '(the only man who escaped,: and by. 4 whose exertions a poor woman of the name of WHITE was also saved) attempted to swim to the nearest shore, which was on the Isle of Tur+ beck, but being incumbered with a great-coat, and the woman having hold of him, retarded his swimming so much, that he had. resolved, in or der to save himself, to shake off his unfortnnate partner, and leave her to the mercy of the waves ; but at that moment one of the oars floated just by him, on which he placed the woman, and, 'after struggling with the waves for pearly two hours, he fortunately regained the shore with the woman,' who, bylthis time, was too much exhausted to pro ceed. The distance that they must have floated by the oar could not be less than two miles, and the method they - pursued was by each taking hold of the - end of it. Mr. EVERETT hastened to a house and requested their assistance; tut humanity had no dwelling in their habitation;, they were deaf to his in treaties, and would not let him in, or give him any as sistance,which obliged him to proet3ed on to the next, where he received it,and immediately went to the place ix here the woman was, whom they assisted to the house, gave her dry clothes, &c.. By this time Capt. BARTLETT, of Wareham, arrived with a post-, , chaise (Mr. EVERETT having proceeded on thither. and informed him of the circumstance) ; his hu manity and goodness of heart on such occasions are always very conspicuous; he immediately brought the woman back in the 'chaise to his own house, where she had every nourishment necessary, ;and was put to bed, When, by the next morning, she was so far recovered as to be able to quit the hos pitable roof of Capt. BARTLETT to go to her own house, where her anxious family were ready to re ceive their almost lost mother and wife. Eleven of the unforbanate people are taken up, seven of whom' were buried at Wareham on Sunday last, and a suitable sermon, on the occasion, was preached by the Rev. G.' H. HYDE.. , SLIZERNESS, OCT. - 7. 7 —Arrived. His Majesty's. Gun-brig Tickler, . with a Coiivoy froni'rouningen, SEPT.

TnE'following changes are confidently spoken e 0 as likely to take place in the Government of Portu gal, viz. CONDE DE VILLA VERDE, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, to retire front office, and be succeeded by ANTONIO Ds ARANSO • DE A ZEOEDO I at present Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, in whose place will re-entet Don`JIJAN'D'ALMEIDA MELLO E CASTRO, 'formerly Envoy at the Court of London ; Don RODRIGO DE Souza. CERETINHO is also to resume his place at the Treasury, in the room of LUIS DE VASCONCEL LES, ,who is to retire from office. These changes are supposed to be influenced by the British Fleet and the British Commissioners. A Convoy is appointed to sail for England on the 21st instant, which will doubtless ha of immense value ; every vessel that- can be procured is loaded to its utmost, the preparations fOr which have recently been very great. The Place du Com merce/or square adjoining the Exchange, has for many days been a scene of bustle and confusion ; bags of cotton, boxes of sugar, bundles of 'hides, and bales of goods, lying in promiscuous heaps, for much of which freight or shipping cannot be pro cured. Many of these goods are taken in lieu of debts - due to British . Merchants as a dernier resource, the state of Portugal being Very uncertain. All continues doubt and dismay with the mercantile part of the com. - nunity, by many of whom it is thought that unless Peace takes place between France and England, the arrival of the British. •Squadron will but accelerate the march of a French• Army, and a general scramble for this ill-fate4i :Country be the consequence. With' respea to the sentiments or feelings of the Portuguese, it is certain, if left to themselvei, their native indolence, even with the melancholy pros pe& of Spain before their eyes, would yield them a prey to French fraternity rather than by the smallest exertion be a partaker of. British proteBlon. An- Cient as is their alliance with Great Britain, and great as are the advantages arising therefrom, they are either too blind, or too bigotted, unable, or unwilling, to shake off their penchan't for sloth, idle ness, and their - concomitant attendant, slavery:— Blessed with the fioest Country under Heaven, the Portuguese supinely engender filth, disease, and corruption.. A singular proof of their native apathy ()Centred the day before Yesterday : a fire broke out at some extensive wine cellars belonging to the very respeaable house of BucKLCY and Co. situated a few miles from Lisbon ; Mr, ALcOCIC, one of the partners, happening by great good fortune to sleep on the premises that evening, was awoke by a bustle among his people, about three o'clock in :he morn. ing, and looking out of his window observed the premises on fire, his servants at the same time look ing quite deliberately at the effeas of the conflagra tion. Mr. ALCOCK immediately arose and adopted means to prevent the further progress of the flames; and upon rebuking his Portuguese servants for not giving him the first possible notice, they coolly an. swered, « Patienciu—the fire has been burning up wards of an hour, but we declined telling you, thinking ill news would come soon enough !" The damage done, I am happy to say, is very trifling ; it does not amouni to 1 001. in value. • MR. FOX': FUNERAL.
