LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, :806.

_ YESTERDAY the whole of the Specie brought
home in the, Narcissus from Buenos. Ayres was
landed at. Portsmouth : it will be immediately. con:-
veyed to London under a proper Guard. His Ma-
jesty's Ministers met again yesterday, to consider
of the most efredual means for converting this
important territorial acquisition to the greatest
commercial advantage; the meeting was attended
by several mercantile Gentlemen of the first respec.
tability ; and in consequence of the measures which
Ministers have announced their intention of adopting
for encouraging trade with South America, we un-
derstand that British, manufactures to an immense
amount will be immediately shipped for Buenos
Ayres.

WE believe. that it is not yet determined who is
to succeed Mr. Fox in the Foreign Department, but
it probably will be arranged in the Council which is•
to assemble this clay. It is generally believed that
either Mr. T. GRENVILLE or LordHOWICK will be
appointed to that importantoffice.

IT is now said that the disgrace which has attend-
ed M. D'OUBRIL is an a& of policy and not of pu-
nishment, for that his Embassy to Paris, 'AT:I-ap-
parent concurrence in the views of the French Go-
vernment, were merely with a design of discovering
the full extent of those views. The communication
by D'Ousam of what he had brought from Paris to
the Cabinet of Berlin, gives some colour to this
idea, as' it is not to be supposed that he would
have been 'rash enough, without previous orders,
to reveal what was intended solely for his own
Sovereign. But we are not inclined to suspe&
the Russian Court of so much subtlety, however
just and proper it might be to encounter Bot A-
PARTE with his own arts.

Yesterday another Committee of the Privy Coun-
cil met at the B,oat;d of Trade, upon tie subjed of
operiingra Trade with I,3uelios'Ayres; which was at-
tended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl SPENCER,
Lord H. PETTY, AUCKLAND and $o-
WICK j Messrs. WINDHAM, WICKHAM, the AT-
:TORNEY-GENERAL, and the KING'S AbVOCATE.
IDLE, Mr. BARROW, 'and 'Capt. WYNEHA.II attend-
ed the Committee; • ,
The friends of Lieutenant C. KERR, of the Jason,
have receivedlette'rs, from that 'gallant young Of.
titer, dated on the 28th July, off Antigua, by which
they haVe"the pleasing information that be was fast
recovering from his wounds, and would be able to
return to his duty in eight or ten days. For several
days after his, gallant exploit, there was hardly a_
hope of his ever, recovering his eye-sight. Such dis-
tinguished bravery and ludgment as Lieut. KERR
evinced, will not, we trust, go without a proper re-
ward.

The gazette of last night contains a notice froth
the Speaker 'of the House of Commons, that the
death .of the Right Hon. CHARLES JASIS Fox hav-
ing been certified to hiM in writing by two A,Tembers
of the House, he shall issue his warrant tO:the Clerk
of the Crown to make a Writ for the election of a
rflember, at the end of fourteen days after the pub-
lication of his notice.

• If thereshould be any contest for the representa.;,
tion of Westminster, the Public is not likely to be
disgusted with that abusive personality' which gene-
rally attends eleaioneering competitions. Lord
PitRCY stands Upon itoo high ground, in point of
private worth, to say nothing of his great stake in
the Country, to be the object of any attacks of that
kind; 4ind his friends are of too respeEtable a de-
Scription to give countenance to such attacks on any
persons who may happen to start against this amia-
ble and accomplished young Nobleman.
The 6th Regiment of the Gernian Legion marched

.LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15.—The King Geoige Packet,
of and from Parkgate, for Dublin, was lost last night,
near Hoyle. Bank, and it is-said all on board perished
except three or four : she had upwards of one hun-
dred passengers. It, is much feared the Tippoo Saib,
from Savannah was also lost last night, as•-there has
been a writing-desk and part of a log-book, with
the Tippoo Saib written on it,. picked up. in the River
Mersey this afternoon.; but-no farther particulrs
have transpired.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT.. M. This day the whole
of the specie was brought on shore from His Ma-
jesty's Ship Narcissus by Vessels having the English
Ensign flying above that of Spain: this pleasing
sight could not fail to afford the numerous spectators,
who were waiting near the. shore to witness its
landing, an opportunity of expressing their joy amidst
great bursts of acclamations ; and of rousing in the
bosoms of those soldiers (the 40th Regiment of the
Line) who were embarking, an emulation to exe-
cute those valorous deeds which their comrades had
so recently-achieved.,.. -•'• - •
