PROCLAMATION
By the Commanders in Chief or His Britannic Majesty's
Forces by Land and Gra.
Although the laws of war give all ships, barges, vroels,
boats, and craft of every description, in bar:sows, rivers, and
creeks, to the captors, yet the Commanders in-Chief of Hie
Britannic !Majesty's forces, by land and sea, feeling that such
captures will distress the owners of small vessels, as they may
be the only means by which they gain their livelihood, and
anxiously wishing to give every encouragement to real induo•
try, JIM every accommodation to the inhabitants of South
America, do by this Proclamation give up all such small Yes.
eels aot shall appear to be really eebael,etrrying on the roasting
trade of the river. And they at theism. time call upon all the
on hers nt these verses, and the inhasitants in general, to see
that nu imposition is practised on the mates, by thp vessels
claiming this ad of grace, that are not honied to it. True rap-
tors tru.t they merit this attention from their liberal condua
to the inliehitants of South America, and their desire to do
every thing in their power to promote the happier.. of the
country.

E:oract of a Dispatch from Maier-General Br resford to the
R.eht lion. Lord Castlereagh, dated Fort of Buenos Ayres,
163. Jul„ 1806.
I am now able to transmit nearly an account of
the money which has been received as prize, under
the terms of my agreement with the afting Gover-
nor of the place, previous to my entering the town.
The statement chews the various departments and
public bodies whence the sums forming the total has
been derived. the sum of one million eighty-six
thousand two hundred and eight dollars is ~oing
home in Ills Majesty's ship Madras's, and Sir Home
Popham and myself have thou,;lit it right to reserve
here, for the exigencies of the army and navy. a
considerable sum ; and for the purpose of keeping
down the exchange on hills drawn by the respective
services, and which would otherwise bring the dollar
to an enormous price.
It is estimated that the merchandise in the King's
stores, principally Jesuit's Bark and quicksilver,
and which is in the Ph;lippine Compaity's stores,
with the little th It is retained of floating property,
will amount, if it can he disposed of, to b.itween
two and thtee millions of dollars. Of the bullion
delivered in, some is claimed as private property.
and which shall be delivered in the same spir;t of
liberality with which, we trust, it will be considered
we have afted here. The sixt y•one thousand seven
hundred and ninety dollars s.ere yesterday delivered
to the Consulada, on their assurance only that it
belonged so the people of this town, and they have
a claim upon forty or fifty thousand dollars more,
which will be settled this day.

Captain Donnelly, of His Majesty's ship Mir-

patch from Commodore Sir Home Popham Knight,
addressed to William Marsden, Esq. of Which the
following is a copy ;

SIR, Jury, ise•G.
In the leth.r which I had the honour to address
you trom St. Helena, nn the 30th ,tf /sprit, I fully
explained, for the information Lt my Lords Cam-
no;sioners of the Admiralty, the motive' that in-
duced me to press so strongly the urgency and ex-
pediency of undertaking an expedition ag.tinst the
enemy's settlements in the kin de IA Plata.
I hays therefore only to give you a short detail
of the proceeding; of the sco tdron ; previously con-
gratulating their Lirdships on His Majeity's fote..3
tieing in full possession of Buenos Ayres and its de-
p.:cdencies ; the ciyital of one of the richest and
most extensive provinces of Fluth America
'bo the Commerce of Great Brttain it exhibits
peculiar advantages, as well as to the a&ve indus-
try of her manufitauring towns. And when 1 ven-
ture in addition to assure their Lordships of the ex-
treme healthiness of the climate, I trust I only hol .1
out a consolation that the friends of every perm
employed on this expedition are justly entitled to,
and W.i.th I am satisfied will be equally grALiiiinr
to the feelings every British subj..i.

it i
n Captainth e
Narcissusßowley,
On the Bth ult. we anchored near the island o
Flores ; and, after passing Monte-Video the folliete
ing day, we detained a Portuguese schuoner, by
whom the intelligence we had formerly received vie,
generally confirmed. On the I lth we fell in :site
the Encounter and Oecean transport, near the Sou h
coast of the river ; and on thqeleth we joined tee
squadron.
It was immediately determined to attack the Ca-
pital; and no time was !ost in removing ere etaiiie
Battalion to the Narcissus, the Encounter, and the
Transports, for the purpose of proceeding to Buenos
Ayres, while the Diadem blockaded the port of
Monte-Video, and the Raisonable, and Diomede, by
way of demonstration, cruized near Meldonado and
other assailable points.
Our progress up the river was very much regarded
by the shoalness of the water, adverse winds and
currents, continual fogs, and the great inaccerecv
1 of the Charts; but by the unremitting and laboriuns
exertions of the officers and men I had the honour
to command, these difficulties were sunnauned,
and the squadron anchored on the afternoon of the
25th, off Point Quelmey a Pouichin. about twelve
miles from Buenos Ayres.
As it was impossible for the Narcissus to approach
the shore on account of the shoalness of the water,
the Encounter was run in so close as to take the
ground, the more effe!tually to cover the debarka-
tion of the army in case of necessity ; the whole,
however, was landed in die Course of the evening,
without the least opposition ; coosisting of the de-
tachment of His Majesty's troops freser-tbe Cape,
and that from] St. Helena, with the m...' s, battalions,
under the orders of Captain King, of Fes Majesty';
ship the Diadem, which was composed of the ma-
rines of the squadron, augmented by the incorpo-
ration of soon seamen, and three companies of
Royal Blues, from the same source of enterprise,
which had been regularly train:d fur that duty, and
dressed in an appropriate uniform.
The enemy was postal at the village of Reduc-
tion, which was on an eminence, about two miles
i from the beach, with the appearance of a fine plain
between the two armies, which, however, proved
on the follovrine morning, to be only a morass, in a
high state of verdure.
This, in some measure, checked our advance-
ment, nor did the enemy open his field train, till the
troops were nearly is the middle of the swamp,
from whence he thought it was impossible for them
to be extricated.
The able and excellent disposition of General Be-
res/ord, and the intrepidity of his army, very soon,
however, satisfied the enemy, that his only safety
was in a precipitate retreat ; for we had the setts-
felion of seeing Hon the ships near four thoussni
prnish C3V dry, flying in every dire:lion, leaving
their artillery behind tnem, while our troop were
ascending the hill with that cnelness and courage,
which has, on every occasion, marked the chat-aft:iv
of a British soldier, and has been exemplitied in
proportion to the difficulties and dangers by which
he was opposed.
I have probably trespassed on a line that does not
immediately belong to me, but I could net resist
the gratification of relating to their Lordships what
I saw; assuring myself, at the same time, they will
lie con%;inced, it the enemy had given the squadrc•a
an equal opportunity, I should have bad the pleasing
duty of reporting an honourable issue to the efLe of
their eminent *eel and exertions.
Oa the getle in the morning, we saw some firing
near the hanks of the river Unlit), but it blew so
hard, that it was totally impreelicable to have any
communication with the shore during that day.
Eerily on the 281 h, a Royal salute was fired front
the Castle of Buenos Ayres, in honour of His Ma-
jesty's celours being hoisted in South America, and
tnstaatly returned by the ships lying off the town.
I new consider it to be a proper moment for se-
knowledging, in terms of the sincerest gratitude, my
high sums of the zealous and animated condue of
every °Dicer and man in the squadron which I have
the extraordinary ro II tot tune to command. •
Captain Rowley, with Captain Edmonds under
his orders, continued, as long at the weather were I
permit, an advantageous desnonstratioo, off Maldo-
nado.
Captain Donnelly, who did me the favour of re-
questing I would go up the river in the Narcissus.
and to whom, from his rank, no specific sets ice
could he assigned in our small scale of operati. ns,
applied himself in every occasion where he could
promote the olsjeCts of the expedition ; and, as he
is charged with this dispatch, I take the liberty of
recommending him to their Lordships proteltion,
under a full convietion they will obtain, through
him, every information which they have a right to
raped from al) Officer of great intelligence and long
meritoriops service.
I consider Captain Rine, with the Officers of the
Marine Battalion, so completely under the repot&
of Genera; Beresford, that I shall °ley state to their
Lou dships my extreme satisfaetion nu hearing per-
snnally from the General how highly he appreci.eed
every part of their coaduet, particularly the celerity
with which they trenseroted the arillery and treei!.
semis the Rio Cita° after the bridge was burnt :of
the enemy.
Lieutenant Talbot, of the Encounter. Ineeif-ssled
great zeal in every instance where it was necessary
hi call on him ; leetrenant Groves, of the Dtadem,
was also very aelive in landing the ordnance and
ordure:se stores, and I think it highly proper to
sate to their Lordships, that the msters and Cle"
of the different transports behaved with great :seen-
tints dewing the whole of this service.
I inclo.e a copy 4 the ter ens • granted to the
inhabitants after the captute of the city, by which
their Loreshipa will see. that the coasting vessel M

A Russian Courier arrived, yesterday, in eight
days from Sc Petiusburgh, with important dis-
patches for England.
All the accounts from St. Petersbargh, agree in
stating, that the Emperor has refused to ratify the
Treaty made with Franc?, and that D'Oul..til is in
some disgrace for having gone bryond his instruc-
tions. The Russian army has been considerably
augmented, and .t;00,009 tratii are mai), to march
at a moment's warning The command of them will
be given (it is said) to the Old General Karmin.

LONDON.
MONDAY, SErramaLa 15.

Mr. Fos died et four o'clock on Satutday. The
melancholy event was announced at Devonshire
113 use, in the evening, by the following Bulletin :

• " D.:Vonshire House, Eight &Clock.
" M . a has just arrirvd from Chiswick—
" MR. FOX IS DEAD."
That cln we find ourselves deprived, in less than
one s:lort year, of a Nat.sost, a Purr, and a Fox,
the men by whom•the world estimated the wisdom
and valour of llngland. Thus

Our good stars, that were 03r former guide,
have empty lea their [sibs, and shot their fires."

It is a singular citcumitance, that, at the very
tnonwiit this great spirit fled this world, the Palk •
ald 'Cover guns were announcing the capture of
limos Ayres.—Like Ntt.sner, too, we shall not
le swim's-AI if it shall appear that he died
1, the very moment of the completion of 0-. e great
t k which he had undertaken—the work of peace
; • ow opinion, in some well-informed circles, that
• APARTt has gone too far to recede. We own,
however, that the rising spirit of the Continent, and
the magnanimous condua of the Emperor of Rue-
t, in tetusiog to ratify D'Ousaik's Treaty, have
kready diminished the value of peace. But these
L.ingt canted not have been foreseen by human
eyes, and do not alreel Mr. Fox's in.trits. As
we never ju.tly appreciate a good, until sse are
deprived of it, it was our intention to ava urselves,
titre day, of the interest excited in the first moments
Lf our loss, to give a Ciograplikal Sketch of this
reg Patriot, Orator, and Statesman; but the
piessere of temporary matter obliges us to de-
fer it to another day. Mr. Fox was in the
7th year of his age, and of a frame and
enastitutinn that promised many more. Like
Ur. Purr, his mind was too great for that

which forms the peat objea of the mass of society. '
He has left very little piopertY, and, we understand,
made no will. He remained perfeftly sensible and
collated to the last moment, and displayed through-
out his illness an unshaken fortitude, though con-
sciout, from the moment of his departure from town,
that his recovery was impossible. Lord Hui. t. AND,
Mr. THOMAS GRENVILLE, and Viscount Ilovslco,
have been severally mentioned, as the persons most
likely to succeed him as Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. In the representation of the city of West-
minster he will be prob ably succeeded by Mr. Su tat-
o AN, his long tried and intimate friend. The Electors
of Westminster have now an opportunity of shewing
their respect and love for Mr. Fox. It was, we
understand, his dying request, that Mr. SHERIDAN
should attempt to succeed him in the representation
of the city of Westminster.

The tlamburgh Mail, dui on Wednesday, arrived
yesterday, with letters and papers to the 6th inst.—
They state, that King JOSEPH was preparing to fly

THEAT4E.

MlllitY-L A NZ.
This theatre opened on Saturday night, under the
happiest auspices. 'I he heeee was elegantly filled
in every pzrt. The pity was The Honey Moon ; the
am:talon of which was increased by the novelty of
a first appearance. it was that of Mr. PeeLer, in
the charaeler cf torquer. This gentleman was pre-
ceded by a high chataaer for comic humour, having
played with eclat at the Liverpool and Lewes The-
atres, of the latter of which his brother is Proprie-
tor. The late Mr. Co eel ss was thii original jeueseer,
and his representation was considered a petted per-
formance : it was therefore a bold undertaking to
attempt a part, in which, in public opinion, first-rate
talents could only equal, not excel, his predecessor
—besides, every tone and gesture of Mr. COLLINS
was fresh in their recolleetion. Mr. PEN Lev
fully jtestifitd the truth of provincial report, and,
triumphing over all these disadvantages, completely
won the approbation of the audience. He is rather
undersize, but well made, with a very lively eye,
and a good deal of ease. His conception of the
part was precisely the same as that of Mr. Cot-
t ins ; but we must acquit him of imitation, because
he Lever could have seen him in it. Indeed, it is
s 3 distilealy drawn, no air of judgment could
mistake it. The execution, however, was different;
and not to the disadvantage of Mr. PLN LEY,
whose voice is much more clear, strong, and distina.
Mr. P N LEY is well acquainted with the business of
the stage, and appeared in full possession of his
powers. He was warmly greeted upon his entrance,
and received the most unqualified applause. he
Managers are intitled to much praise for the expe-
dition with which they have supplied a place so dif
ficult to fU. Mr. MATH t.W6 having to perform
Endless in the farce of lee !tees no Supper, which re-
quired a good deal of time to dress, his part of the
Dotter in the play was performed by Mr. Wass.
The cast in every other resrea wes t'ee same :is last
season. Miss Duncan, Miss Mee Len, and Mr.
FeeliSTON, were warmly greeted upon their tespec.
the entrances. They appeared much improved in
health and spirits by their summer tout. PARisnT
displayed her attitudiparien grace to great advan-
tage in the ballet of The Fair Ciocouiau ; and Mrs.
SHARD& appeased in grace and agility not inferior
to the first artists of the Italian schorl. he farce
of No Song no Somme., which followed, went off in
excellent style. Mrs. MocNratr looked extremely
well, and perfetly re-established in health. The
house looks very neat, several parts of it have been
newly gilt and painted ; the part over the curtain is
much improved.

THE PRINCES TOUR.

Previous to their Royal Highnesses leaving the
hospitable residence of Mr. Forester, the Mayor and
Corporation of Shrewsbury intro:Jed permission to
enrol the names of the Prince of Wales, and his
august Brother, among the Burgesses, which was
most griciousle complied with.
The Bko-ogh of Wenlock also snaitecl by Deru•a-
tion upon His Royal Highness, and were moat gra-
ciously received.
Their Royal Highnesses rode from Ross Hall
to Loton, to tread the ground of tke Principa-
lity, which afforded the Prince peculiar delight ; and
from the first Oak Tree his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales broke off a small hough, which he
immediately placed in his hat, and rode with it back
to Lnton.
The Royal Party soon after proceeded to Lotnn
Park, the seat of Sir Robert Leighton, Bart. where
they spent the evening, and rn hursday morning,
at half past ten o'clock, their Royal highnesses passed
through Shrewsbury, on their way to f centham, the
seat of the Marquis of Stafford.
