THE BRITISH PR Es;

LON OON,
MONDAY. .JANUARY 14.

The GJ-ette of Saturday night contains an Ord,'
in r,,tincil granting goneral reprisals anJ 1
of marque Against Spain. This being the
form of declaring war, some of our contempo4.and
entertained an expeaation that it would be moll
panied with a specification of all the reasons. 'I)

order in Council contains one that is as good
thousand : it states, that Spain has declared n•;

against us.
The Gaz, tie• confirms our report of the eleva:,l
of Mr. Anuir4t..rox to the Peerage, lye• the titiz-f
Viscount Sinstouru ; and of the appointrr.T.;
Lord MuIAIRAVE to the office of Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Lord Wu.
Rowsr. Various other Ministerial changes are sal

to be in contemplation. Among those, which are
consider m.rst intitled to credit, is the appointnra
of the Earl of BUCKINONAMSEIIRL to the: placed
joint Postmaster General, vice Lord CHAIDIS
SPENCER, who retires upon' a pension. Tit
Duke of PORTLAND also goes o a upon a pea
sion, and it is almost certain that he will b• ma
ceeded by Viscount SIDMOOTH, as President of
Council. This new arrangement is couidearly
spoken of in the political circles as having been la.
feted by the influence of His Royal Highness L't
Prince of WA LE.C. Should this report be fotmlel
in la R, the coalesced Opposition will prove forsi•
dable only in talent to the Minister. Mr. YLIIKE is
also mentioned as likely to come into office, aud will
probably succeed Lord ME cr Lc, should the lattet
resign the Ad:niralty. The successor of Sir Evas
NZ:EAN in Ireland is net yet mentioned with arts
degree of confidence. Mr. FLINT, his Secretary,
arrived in town yesterday.

The funds experienced a farther rise on Satur,l :-
The Consols for the opening left off at (2. v..
ridiculous to suppose that the Lae common;a•
Lion from France has not been the princi.l
cause of this change. It is now generally nn•
derstood that the dispatch contained professions
of an inclination for peace, and that the answer,
which has been sent back, without compromising the
dignity or interests of the country, contained nothin
to discourage it.

Yester,lry the Sr AN ISII AMSASIIADOR had 33
audience :It Lord MULGRAVE, at his Office, from
twtls•e toll one o'clock.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, the Loan CriArrcri-
LOR visited Mr. PITT.

Ti if d.iy Lord CHARLES SOMERSET is expei?e!
at the P.iy Office; from the country, for the se
This d:ty Mr. Pitt will give a dinner t.)
hinet Ministers.

Saturday dispatches were received from Admi:l
Coen is AI. LI I, which were brought to Brizham o
Wedne:iday night by the Nimrod. The fleet well oil
Ushant on Tuesday.
La Fille d. Mtion, hrench frigate of 44 guns, s• •
rived at Martinique in October from L'Orient. ha'
ing on board '2OO troops, and 10,000 stands t.
arms, together with a large sum of morev.
The Rarcou sloop of war is staled to have c..,
tured Gve French privateers oft St. Domingo.
The report of the capture of the .47,isit
schooner, by some privateers belonging to Ctmeo t.
who carriad her into that island, is erroneous, mit
originated in the circumstance of a prize SO t:..
schooner being re-captured.
The Santo Gertru”du Spanish frigate, captured by
the Pdvplormou, arrived on Thursday at Plymouth.
She carries 40 guns, and has on board 1,200,00,k
dollars, besides merchandise, from Linu. Font
other richly laden Spanish ships have likewise bee::
taken by the Payphentier, and sent into Gibraltar.
The applications f(ir letters of marque against
Spain continue to increase daily.
Lord Ht ionizes and a large party of friends
left town on Friday to canvass the County Al Rut-
land, for the seat vacant by the death of the I.tte
Lrd CAI MIRY .

A French vessel, charged with dispatches from
General FER RAND, COMM indi ng at St. Domingo,
to France, was lately captured by the Mariebe frt..
gate, and dispatches saved. They arc stated to
give the most wretched picture of the French force
in that island, and to communicate the Geoeval's
opinion that his force was urcqual to tllc wipe-
11411Ce of hi, positim.
