WHEN we announced to the Public the Capture of Buenos Ayres, - we adverted shortly to the immense commercial advantages which it opened to this Collin try ; and it gives us sincere pleasure to find that His Majesty's Ministers have lost no time in turning their attention to that most important obje&. A Conference took place yesterday at the Chamber of the Board of Trade; between Lord AUCKLAND and several Members of the Cabinet, among whom were Lord's GRENVILLE', SPENCER, ELLENBOROUGH, and M . . PETTY. The obje& of the Meeting was to consi der the proper measures to be adopted for the purpose of facilitating a CommerciaUntercourse between this Co in try and our newly acquired Possessions in South America. Several Mercantile Gentlemen, princi- I ally those Concerned' in Spanish Houses, attended. the Board. We understand that One of the 'first pints suggested by. the Merchants was, that the Trade with Buenos Ayres should be 'thrown open lo Neutrals as well as to . the Subjeas of this Country ;. but upon mature consideration, the disadvantages which must attend such a. measure were so obvious, that the idea was abandoned. In if-such a liberty had been granted to Neutrals, it would have thrown the trade, in a great de gree; into the bands of the Americans. It was therefore, we believe, determined, that theirade with Beeeos Ayres should be carried on exclusively in British bottoms. An'other point, which we believe is ffeally resolved upon by Government, and which protTnises the most important advantages to this Em pire, is, that a large duty, equivalent in' fi to a prohibition, is to be laid upon all foreign linen im ported into Buenos Ayres, which, will of coarse create an immense :demand for the Irish and Scotch • After the meeting of Board of Trade yes'ter day morning, a Cabidet.COUncil Was held,.at.Nvhich Lords GRENVILLE, SPENCIII, SIDMOUTII, ,HENRY PETTY., and Mr. WEIDH. - m attended:, The Coun cil sat till four o'clock, It is not yet known whois to succeed Mr. Fox in the Foreign Department, but numerous reports are in Circulation upon the sub je& : the one which we are inclined to think the most probable is, that Lord Howicx will succeed . Mr. Fox ; that Lord SPENCER Will again-be placed at the head of the Admiralty, an office for which he has shewn hiMself peculiarly well qualified ; and that Lord HOLLAND will succeed him in the Home Department. His MAJESTY will come to town to-morrow, when his pleasure upon the subje& will probably be made known. A Messenger was sent off on Sunday with Dispatches to Lot!d LAUDER DALE, to inform him of the death of Mr. Fox. WE have this. day made some further Extraas from the Hanzburgh, Mail which arrived yesterday.' All the accounts concur in describing the military pre . pArations Of Prossia,Saxony,and Hesse,as being Of the most formidable nature. Indeed, the KING of Pkws . SIA has . gone so far, that he will now find itdifficialt to retreat, without total loss of charaaer, and expos ing himself to the most imminent danger. It is gene rally understood that one of the demands 'Which he has made upon BONAPARTE is, that the French Troops should eyacuate Germany ; and with that demand neither BONAPARTE'S pride, nor his inter est, will suffer hini to comply. The' extraordinary exertions which Austria is making to repair the astonishing losses which •she . has sustained, has given considerable uneasiness to BONAPARTE, and he has therefore, -for some time past, been en deat,ouring, by repeated aggressions and insults, to force her again into War, in which no doubt he flat tered himself that he should be able to complete the destruction of the once mighty Empire. To with draw at present his Troops from Germany, independ ently•of the disgrace of being di&ated to by the KING Of PRussiA,would frustrate all his plans against Austria. We cannot therefore believe that BONAPARTE will consent to evacuate Germany. On the other hand, it will, as we have already observed, be equally dis graceful. and dangerous for the KING of PRUSSIA to recede froM his demand ; and, indeed, the great • exertions which he is making seem to prove that , he is at length convinced of the impolicy of persever ing in his teinporizing system. Private Letters have been received from -Berlin, dated the 7th, which state that it was the general opinion in that Capital that .the next Dispatches from Paris would de cide the question of Peace ,or War. We are not inclined to , think that the question will be so soon , brought to an issue ; but the Prussian Troops are all in readiness to commence hostilities. The Brother of the KING of PitnssfA. set out from Berlin on the sth inst. forMagdeburgh,and.the KING and the DUKE of BRUNSWICK . were expeeted there in a few days. It is stated : that the Bavarian Troops that entered the Prussian town of Iphofen have evacuated it, having originally taken possession of •it under an idea that it formed a part of the Margraviate of An spach, which hal been ceded by his Prussian Majesty to Bavaria. • The Tozvnsisend Packet,. Captain Dom), with a Mail from Falinouth. for. Lisbon, is captured, off Scilly, by a French Privateer.. The Lively, Captain'WHlTEnousE, 'from Sain t Helena and the South Seas; is arrived off Dover. His Royal Highness . the Duke of YORK arrived in town yesterday morning from Qatlands, and trans- ailed business.at his Office, the Horse Guards.—We are happy to 'state his Royal 'Highness is quite reco veied from his late indisposition. Earl MotRA, who 'has been upon a Military visit to Hythe, returned to town this morning. This day the LORD_ MAYOIt ordered the price of Bread to be reduced id; in the Peek Loaf ; to take place on Thursday: Sir Home POPHAM, before the Narcissus left the Rio de la Piata, is said, to have dispatched a Sloop to the Cape for reinfdrceMents.

She immediately after captured a yellow-sided Brig in sight of the Nancy and Mary Scilly bore at the time S. and by E. 4:5 miles. The Nancy and Mary made all possible sail from so dis agreeable a neighbour. Extra& of a Letter from Captain ALEXANDER M'FARLANE, of the Ship Thetis, of GlasgoW, to his Friend, in Port Glasgow, datvid Antigua, July 25 : " I am sorry to inform you of the capture of the Ship Thetis, which was on the sth_rof In the Morning I was up at the-mast-head looking out for the land; at the same time,l saw a Schooner ahead of us standing to the Northward, and immediately called all hands to quarters ; and the Schooner stood to the Northward till we passed her. At seven o'clock in . the Morning she hove about, and stood after us ; we still carried on as much sail as possible to get clear of her. At a quarter before noon she commenced firing at us, which we returned dire: ly. For one hour she lay upon our quarter, within pistol shot, .and' we very seldom .could get our broadside to bear upon her, nor could we get any guns on our quarter-deck, on account of the round house. We bad one killed and three wounded ; two of them I did not expe6t would live. The Ship was a perfe& wreck before we struck. They were three hdurs before they could get any sail set They, the Ship, the rigging and' sails being shot to pieces. All on board did their utmost to save the Ship. At one o'clock, afternoon, we were obliged to strike, on account of all our guns being unfit for use, except the two 6-pounders. The Privateer. proved to be the La Freepoude, mounting four 18-pound carron ades and one long 18-pourider. She had on board 93 men, eight of whom were killed, and three se verely wounded. The passengers and I got our pass to come to this Island. At the time we were cap tured, the Island of Antigua bore W. by S. distant about 12 miles." . KINGSTON, AUG. 2.—La Magicienne Frigate, of 32 gnns, Capt. A. MACKENZIE, and the Hunter Brig, of 18 guns, Capt.

HOWEVER mysterious BoNAPARTE'S intended Platt of operations eigainst Prussia may appear to some peo ple who are unacquainted with his former conduct, yet it obtains general belief here upon the Continent, and existing circumstances certainly sanCtion the presumption, that his proposed journey to Frankfort is only a political cloak to mantle his future military plans, and that instead of visiting a city where his duplicity and breach of . prornisehave rendered him. odious, he aCtually intends once more to put himself at the head of his Troops, and to endeavour to strike a' decisive blow, in the North of Germany 'before any Russian support can arrive. He artfully carries ou a system of negotiation with Russia - and Prussb, and to give a kind of sincerity to his views, has re-called his Armies from Benthein and the Frontiers of Sax ony yet is still pouring Troops into Germany, and forcing the Bavarians to commit such bare-faced de predations upon . some Prussian villages in their neighbourhood as must ultimately force the Cabinet of Berlin to adopt .hostile measures. Letters from Erlangen positively assert, that 200 Bavarian Troops forcibly entered Iptiofen, and carried off the public Money and archives of the place—even made de-* minds upon individual inhabitants, which the Offi cers commanding the detachment did not, or would not, take_notice of—and also committed many other wanton acts of most disgraceful levity. Several other / Prussian villages have been served in the same man nen—An Estafette arrived here yesterday evening from Stettin, who brought the.news that the Mer chants there had received a hint from HAUGWLTZ himself, stating, that " some lively discusions were going on betwixt his Prussian Majesty and the Em peror of France, and that it might be advisable for the Mercantile interest to be cautious of their proceed- ings. I hope next post will throw more certain light upon the present dark proceedings. THE PRINCE's TOUR. On Friday last theirOyal Highnesses the PRINCE of WALES and the DUKE" of CLARENCE, accom panied by. the Marquis of STAFFORD, Lord HA.R RONVEY, Lord CREWE, Lord PETERSHAM, Lord GRANVILLE LEVESON GOWER, the' LORD CHIEF BARON, Mr. IVPIDoNALD, Major Bt.cionFi6.,i), COL LEIGH, Mr. IL HEATHCOTE, Mr. WILBRAHAM, &c. &c. visited Mr. SpopE's extensive ManufaaorY at Stoke upon Trent, in the Staffordshire Potteries. The Stoke 'Volunteers, commanded by Lieut. CQI. WHALLEY, were under arms to receive their Royal • Highnesses. as they alighted from the carriage.— After going through the prinCipal waretioti , e (a room 117 feet long) which Y. -as fittel 1:p with much taste and judgment, and exhibited such a splendid assemblage of finished goods as did g reat credit to the manufa6turer,.and drew he nigh encomiums of 'the whole:Party, they proceeded through' the'woilting part of thelVlanufaaory, where their Royal Highnesses examined* the different branches with the most marked attention, and ex pressed themselves to be much gratified with the process and various modes adopted.-*-in France the PorcelaineManufaaory always *pos,s.essed.,the high sanction and patronage of the Princes of the Blood i; and under the auspices of our Princes and Nonility . ; we have no doubt but that English China 'Will rival the most finished produaions of foreign cOiintries, and give to our own manufacturers the whole Of .this important' and valuable trade. The SPEAKER may, in this night's Gazette, give, notice, that in consequence of the certification made to him of the death of the Right Hon. CHARLES JAMES Fox, he will; in fourteen days from this . date; dire& a 'warrant to be issued for the election of a Citizen to serve in Parliament for the City of West minster. By this the writ may be issued this days fortnight ; and if published by the High Bailiff thc next day, the eleCtion may come on in Covent Gar ' den, on Monday, the 6th of October. It must be highly gratifying to the inhabitants of Westminster, and indeed to the people in general,. to see the Noble Heir of the venerable House of NORTHUMBERLAND, a name conspicuous among the Nobility of Great Britain, come forward as a Can didate to represent one of the most important cities of the Empire. The rank and property of this young Nobleman place him high above those temp tations which have too often seduced men from the line of public duty, but from all the reports of, his •character, he is, in point of talents and virtue, also eminently qualified to do honour to the choice of the Eieetors of that large and opulent city. Sir STEPHEN Fox, Grandfather of the late Right Hon. CHARLES JAMES Fok, was the son of a'pli vate family in Wiltshire, but raised- himself by the most laudable .means—that of merit.. He en- • joyed many lucrative situations during the reign of CHARLES 11. JAMES 11. and WILLIAM and MARY. Sir 'STEPHEN made a noble use of .his fortune : he rebuilt the Church of Early, his na : tive place : he built an Hospital for six women and six men, endowed it with 1881. a year; he tbunded a Charity School ;, he also built the Church of Culford, in Suffolk ; and ,pewed . the Cathedral of Salisbury. But hi's greatest act was. the founding of 'Chelsea Hospital, which he first projected, and contributed 18,0001. towards the carrying on ; alleclging, that he could not bear to see the common soldiers, who had spent their strength in our service, beg at our doors. Sir STEPHEN mar lied his second wife in 1703, when he was seventy six years of age, and had by her two sons : STE- M PHEN, the first Lord ILCHESTER, and HENRY, the first Lord HOLLAND. His' happineSs continued to 'his last moment ; for he died without experiencing the usual infirmities of sg, in Oaober, 17) 6.
