that he hence presumed Mr. Peel might expect' to hear
from him (in other words to receive a challenge). Mr.
O'Connel said he must advise with his friends ; and having
consulted Mr. Liciwill, the latter was of opinion that Mr.
•O'Connel's language was grossly offensive towards Mr. Peel,
and that.to send an hostile challenge would be an unjusti-
fiable prodigality of his own life, and a wanton aggression on
that of another. Here the matter seemingly would have
ended; but Sir Charles Saxton and Mr. Lldwill are at va-
riance as to what really paSsed between them in negociating
on behalf of their respective friends, and how the matter will
finally.terminate, remains uncertain.
Extract of a Letter from an Officer on hoard his Majesty's
ship Warrior, dated Portsmouth, Sept. 5.—" The Warrior,
of 74 guns, sailed from Jamaica in company with the Electra
gun-brig, and ninety sail of merchantmen under convoy, on
the 10th of July. On the 9th of August, at four P. M. near
the banks of Newfoundland, it began to blow hard from the
S. E. with very thick weather; at a quarter past four shipped
a heavy sea, which car tied away the lee-quarrer boat, quar-
terdeck gangway, and forecastle bulwark, also our boats, five
in number, that were stowed on the booms at mid-ship. We
then observed a ship on the lee-bow, about 100 yards from
us; at this moment we broke our tiller and carried away our
rudder head; and, soon after, fell on board the George mer-
chantman, of Liverpool, 'where we lay some time beating
each other to pieces. The George's masts were carried
away, and our anchor stove in her sides. In this sinking
state the ship's company, 16 in number, got on board of us,
including two children. She then dropped astern, and in a
few minutes sunk, with the master, one man, and a child. To
get the Warrior before the wind, we cut away our mizen-mast,
and hove our anchors overboard, but it had not the desired
effect. We then strove to throw overboard part of our guns,
but were unable so to do owing to the ship being nearly
on her broadside, and in some degree water-logged.--We
then cut away our main mast and got a tiller shipped in the
ward room, when she righted, which enabled us to throw
overboard twelve of our main deck guns. At this time the
wind shifted to the S. W. and we got lier before it, but found
the lower deck ports under water and ten feet and a half water
in the hold. All hands to the pumps, when we soon gained
on her. At this time the gale, which had lasted for seven
hours, began to moderate, and by two o'clock A. M. on the
loth, we had nearly freed the whole from water. 'Our bed
rooms, powder magazines, provision rooms, and almost every
other place in the interior of the ship, got filled with water
during the gale, which nearly destroyed every thing therein.
About forty sail of' the convoy, we understand, arc distnaste,
and several founecred during the gale. We have spoken
ships having on board the crews of five others."
LLOYD'S, SEPT. T.—Statement of the Warrior's convoy
from Jamaica, this morning: 18 arrived, 6 abandoned la
sea, and it is supposed foundered ; 3 gone to Halifax in d:s.
tress, Co unaccounted for; making a total of 87 sail, bou:rd
to Great Britain.

According to advises by the ships just arrived from Ben-
gal, the operations of the war in the Napaul country bud
ceased by an armistice, for the purpose of allowing a depu-
tation to wait on Lord Moira, with a view to ascertain on
what terms his Lordship would be disposed to withdraw his
invading forces from the Napaul country, and to restore
peace. Earnest hopes were entertained-that this mission
would be attended with a pacific result : which was rendered
matter of particular anxiety by the unexpected obstinacy of
the enemy, arid the unusually severe kisses of must valuable
British lives sustained in cunsequcucc.
