Some alarm, we fiud, has heen excited at the delay that has occurred in Lord AbutettsT's reach ing Canton, but that delay has been satisfactorily explained by the Chinese, who state, that such hits been the drought in the summer Mid autumn of last year, that many of their rivers had become utterly tinnavigable ;' and this fact is fully corro borated by. another, which we understand has been received at the India' House, namely, that the great river of Kiang-4, up which ,the green teas are sent, and the Ambassador had to pass, w , as so redqetid, that the usual quantity of that description of tea had not reached Canton when the ships just arrived left that port. Xt was thought that Lord ANtliftitST would be at Canton about the' 3d or 4th January. A Handers Mail arrived this, morning, with :Brussels Papers to the 34 instant. They mention additional instances of, great numbers of deluded - in~lividr chiefly from Switzerland, having at. rived in the Netherlands, intending to go to- Ameriea. Many of them were in the greatest ttistressactually begging for 'bread to keep them Irons starving, whilst others, 'who had a little property, have been defrauded of great part of it by a German Swindler, who, under pretence. of ensuring - them a passage to America, contrived to persuade them to. pay him the passage. money befarehand.- tJah their arrival AI the ports pointed out by him, these unfortunate individuals found themselves cruelly deceived, whilst the villain who had obtained their money, to the amount of save r 44 thousand forins, in the meat) time absconded, and he has hitherto eh d d nil pursuit. NI/a received yesterday three days Paris Papers, to Thursday last inclusive. Those of Friday, ;.sthieh*were due this morning, had not arrived when.. our Paper was put to press. A brief ex. planation is given of the cause of the arrest of AIetIameREGNAULT de ST. JEAN d'ANGELY. It is stated to have originated in correspondence, ,which waif* ind upon the persons of certain in. 'tlividuals at Calais, who were about to etnhark without passports for the United States of Ante lica. A person of the name of ROBERT has also -been arie. l ted at Rochefort. With respect to M.
