THE BRITISII PRESS.

I.ON I
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29.

We received, at an early hour yesterday morning,
a series of the Moniker,. to the 19th instant. The
paper of the 16th contains a long letter from DE
CAEN, Governor of the Isle of France, to the French
Ministry of Marine, giving an account of the anion
between the squadron under Rear Admiral Lrxoas
and our China Fleet. It will be easily perceived,
from the contents of the dispatch, that Lixoss
has fallen inte disgrace. Many had conceived that
the French official paper, in its usual style of gas-
conade and misrepresentation, would announce this
shameful defeat as a victory, or at least a drawn
battle; but the case was too strong even for Gallic
ingenuity. Governor Dec aas admits that Liaois
ran away most valiantly, and that for his own part
he doubted the evidence of his senses, when the
gallant Admiral returned without the China fleet,
so certain was he of their capture, should the French
squadron have the good fortune to fall in with
them. An impulse is supposed to have been for-
merly given to the spirit of the British navy, by
shooting an Admiral : BONAP Aare will, probably,
sacrifice LINOIS to the national glory.
Annexed to the A/onstage of the 16th, are two
supplementary sheets, tilled with letters found oa
board the Admiral .Iphu, taken on her way to India.
They amount to 85 in number; but, with the ex-
ception of one from Lord G rNviti.E to the Mar-
quis of WeLLLiLIV, a second from the Hon.
Htaa WeLLLSLEY to the same, and three or
four others, they appear to be mete extracts. At
the time the Admiral Aphn sailed in 1833, party
spirit ran very high in this country, and invasion
occupied the public mind as much as at the present
moment. The letters, so far as they are quoted,
contain no other rnauer, and are consequently no-
thing more than the political news of the day.
T. know,however, the real sentiments ct soma of the
principal performers upon the political stage at that
must be at any time an objea of interest to the
historian and politician. The letters, therefore, of
Lord GatsvitLa and the /lon. H. Waaatsatv,
which we have given at full length, if authentic,
are very important documents. Of the rest we have
copied tso or three as specimens. If we did not
well know the mischievous spirit of the French Go.
vernment, we should be at a loss to account for the
insertion of the great majority of these letters, the
publication of which can answer no possible purpose,
except that of giving pain to a few individuals. There
is, however, one remarkable feature coalmen
to them all. The passages quoted represent the
public feeling truly upon the great question of in-
vasion, so far as it respeas England. One corre-
spondent speaks of it as an improbable, but cer-
tainly a possible event. Another asserts, that if
BON P shall date to make the attempt, he
will be punished for his temerity; but they all agree
that an attack upon Ireland mast prove successful.
It is strange that Bos AAAAA a should inculcate such
an idea of the state and spirit of England, after the
pains he has taken to represent it as destitute of
courage, and the easy prey of the invader.

The Dutch Papers, the arrival of which we an-
nounced yesterday, contain no article of interest, ex.
cept the Swedish Official Note, breaking off all po-
litical con: eaion with France. It will be found,
with other articles of interest, in the Last Page.

We have received New York Papers to the 14th
List. They contain the legal proceeding upon the
late fatal duel between Mr. &RR and General H•-

No further accounts have yet been received of the
East lndiamen lelt at St. Helena I considerable
anxic:i is in consequence occasioned to those persons
who have relations in India, as letters are on board
firm almost all parts of the Peninsula, as well as the
official accounts of the promotions in consequence
of the late casualties. Several r.ew reAiments have
been raised at each presidency, and the promotions
must of course have ticti very rapid.
Most of the China ships are now in dock, and
making every preparation to proceed on their out-
ward bound voyage as early as possible.
The British Merchants trading to Spain, waited on
Thursday upon Lord Has sower, Secretary for the
Foreign Department, to request that. our Govern.
mein would allow those ships now freighted with
goods for that country to sail unmolested to their
various destinations. The chief argumen: which
these Gentlemen advanced in favour of their request
was, that the mercantile articles forming the cargoes
Alluded to, consisted .1 goods adapted for the markets
or Spain only, and therefore, in case of a prohibition
by our Government, would ►ecome a serious loss to
those Merchants who had made their arrangernests
accordingly. The propriety of Allowing the imme-
diate departure of vessels with grain to relieve the
Spaniards from the calamities of famine was also
strennously u►ged. lord H•as° wa v could not, con-
sistent with his public ditty, afford much consola-
tion. He however, hinted, that the Committee might
draw up and preset a Petition or Memorial to the
efeit menumwd. And thus the mow sow stands.
