LONION,

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER rO, 1806.

Though
.no Messenger has arrived from France,
yet Mr. DUFF, Nephew of the Earl,,of ,FiFE„, who
reached thiS. Country on Thursday last, and who
dined with Lord LAUDERDALE the day before his
departure from Paris, was,most probably the bearer of
some private information to' Government from his
Lordship. Mr. DUFF was one of the English Cap-
tives so.unjustly.detained by the French Ruler on
the termination of the Peace, contrary to the Law
of Nations, and the praEticp of every legitimate Go-
verameiat. 1

.Al Cabinet Council assembled this morning at I
o'clock, which had not bthke u 2 when this Paper
was put to Press. It is probable that the successor
to Ir. Fox will be this day determined upon.

The Wind haying come round to tbe.S. W. the
Expedition under Admiral IDUCKWORTH is still de-
tained at Plymouth. It will,..however, sail as soon
as the wind permits.
TIIE Menie, GAMEI-L; arrived in the Clyde from
St. Vincent's she sailed on the 10th August. The
Captain reports,. that Sir. R. STRACIIAN'S Squadron,
consisting of seven -Sail of :the Line, arrived at Bar-
badoes on the Bth, and iinniediatelY sailed for Mar-7
tinique.

This morning exhibited a spe&acle gratifying to
every Englishman. Eight waggons, laden With the
Treasure taken at Buenos'Ayres, arrived in Town,
from Portsmouth, under an escort of, the Loyal Bri-
tons and the Lambeth Volunteers, commanded by
Colonel BASTED. On each of the Waggons was
painted in large letters the word c‘ Treasure."--The
Sailors on the roof bearing the colours taken from the
Spaniards in the Action.. The Cavalcade proceeded
through Parliament-street, passing the Admiralty,
along
,Pall-Malls and returning to the Tower.

Each waggon contained near 5 tons weight of
dollars, and the whole was escorted
.by a detach-
ment of the Sailors who were trained to the
use of small arms, and formed part of the Bri-,
tish Army • upon that memorable occasion. They
were attired in the same uniform in which, they
fought.

They set put from Portsmouth on Wednesday af-
ternoon, and from Esher, in Surrey, this rpornin4;
oarly.

SIR Homr, POPHAZ%I, with a prompt regard to the
mercantile interest of this Country, correspondent
with his professional spirit and judgment, has ad-
dressed a Letter, which we insert • this day, to the
&lief manufaauring Towns of Great Byitain,who will
of course, with the same promptness, avail them-
selves of the information it affords, as well with re-
spe&, to what our new territorial-acquisitions can,
supply, as to what . they may require: Hence
will all those commercial advantages most probably
arise. -vhich We confidently held forth when we first
I f • • •
had the pleasure of communicating to our Leaders
intelligence of this new.and importr
Ant addition to the,British Empire,. t, •

.ttElate hour, at which the Nail arrived yester7
day only ,permitted us to lay: before our Readers
the copy of the Treaty signed by M. D'Onaßin
'at. W Paris : e' have this day resumed out extraets.
.It is impossible to read the. Treaty without attribut-
ing to. M. D'Qt.ll3r,ti, either treachery ox folly, un-
less indeed the Treaty was signed merely tb gain
If the Emr FlOll of RUSSIA had ratified the
• -
Treaty, he would have been effectually -excluded
~from the Mediterranean, ap,d one of the favourite
objeets of the Court of • St. Pet:; sburgh corn.-
'pletely defeated. We sincerely-rejoice in the failure
of this . Negotiation, because' the conclusion. 'of
such a Peace' betwieen Russia and France would
have deprived,us of every hope
.of seeing the Cou-
nt-lent restored to anything like a state of independ-
ence.

The differences between Prussia and Swe-
.
..den are definitively-settled, and the PrusSian 'Army,
„which was 'stationed under Gen. IcAucßupf on the
-frontiers of Swedis'h Pomerania,. is now advancing
by rapid marches for ,the prote&ion of Hanover;
awl if his,Pßissian Majesty should engage in hostilities
with' France, we venture to predia that he will find.
an aCive'ind zealous- Ally in the KING: of SWEDEN.
Vl:e:re' is .[11..0 reasonto believe that eiTarts.haVe been
phicle to adjust. the differences between Great
1,•41p lad -,Prussia and as the Cabinet of Berlin'must

now be convinced of the impolicy, as well as the
injustice of ttl.e measures which were adopted
• .
against this Country, it is by no means improbable
that those efforts will be attended with success.

The report mentioned in the Letter of our private
Correspondent at Bremen (which we 'published yes, .
terday);-of-Hostilities- having actually commenced'
between. Fran* and Prussia, we are:Still inclined to^
doubt, although, the same •.report is 'contained in
several otlier Letters. We •do not think that
either of ;these Powers are yet'. disposed to push
matters to an extremity. " The accounts from
Italy contain. nothing of importance, except the
appointment of!MASSENA to be:Viceroy of Sicily.
We consider this intelligence, if it be true, as .
,highly important, because it is well known that •
:one of the points upon which the greatest difficulty
'has arisen in the Negotiation between this 'Coon=
try and'France, was the future fate of Sicily; and 80.-.
NAPARTE has by this step evinced a determination to'
wrest it, if he can; from its lawful Sovereign. The
manner in which this determination is manifested,
has so much the appearance of studied insult to this •
Country, that it does not augur very favourably. as •
to the result of the pending Negotiatiop.

It is now settled that the remains of Mr. FQX will
be deposited in Westminster Abbey, on the 7th of
next mouth. The Funeral, which wilt be suitable
to his charader, but not marked with much cere-
mony, will proceed from his house in the ,Stahle,
yard, St. James's.
Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, PRINCESSES
AUGUSTA SOPHIA, and AMELIA, attended by Ge-
neral MANNINGHAM, the Hon. Mr. BUCKLEY, and
Lady GEORGE ANNA BUCKLEY, took their. usual
ride in Windsor Forest. HER MAJESTY, 'PRIN.:
CESS ELIZABETH, and Lady ILCHESTER, took an,air-
ing in their carriage and four by Old Windsor.
Lord AucKr.ANrcattended HIS MAJESTY in Conn,-
cilitn Wednesday in'his official capacity as President
of the Board of Trade, and laid before him the dif4
ferent proceedings that had taken place. between him,
the Committee of the Privy Council, and a number
of Merchants, upon 'the subje& of opening a trade
with Buenos Ayres; when, after due deliberation
thereupon, His MAJESTY, by the advice of his Privy
Council, was pleased to sign an Order for opening a
trade with that place; and we understand it is ex-
adly according to the rules observed in trading, to
the West Indies.- - On all linens and goods of Russia
inanufadure imported into Buenos Ayres a‘ high
duty of 25 per cent. is to be impose 4:
We likewise understand another. Order of Coun-
cil was made for taking off the fifteen days per-
formance of quarantine imposed upon Vessels
trading from the Baltic to the Islands of Jersey,
Guernsey, &c.
The Hon. Artillery Company with their field-
pieces, and several ether Regiment§ of Volunteer In-
fantry, are to proceed on Monday morning next
dnwn We River, in _boats provided by Commodore
LUCAS, of the River Fencibles; and effect a landing
near Greenwich, which the Volunteer Regiments
in that neighbourhood are to oppose. After landing,
a regular mode of attack and defence will 'be prac-
ticed, by which they will learn more than they
could attain at half a dozen reviews or field-days.-7-
If the Regiments muster in sufficient strength, it
will be a gratifying sight.
A Letter received from Hamburgh, dated the 12th
instant, says, ." This moment it is reported, that
1700 Prussians have defeated 3000 Bavarians on the
borders of Saxony; and a Declaration of-War from
France against Prussia is hourly expeeted."
Mr. SHERIDAN, by his conduCt" with resped to
the vacant seat in the representation of Westminster,
has added to his, high eharader in the public opinion.
His recent speech, at the Westminster Meeting, was
a master-piece of eloquence, and nothing could be
more liberal or more just than his tribute to the cha-
rider of Lord PERCY, of whom he expressed himself
in a manner that deserves to be repeated " I turn to
him (Earl PkItCY), rejoicing that I shall net be his
antagonist.l turn to him with the respe& due to
an early character of the highest promise, with the
'strong assurance of those qualities which engage af-
fedion,.andicommand respe&. On these grounds
shall give him my cordial support."—Such condud
from one Candidate to another is a new event in the
history of Eledion rivalry ; but we fear it 'is not
likely to.operate as a precedent.

The Whim, ,EORBES, arrived off Dover, from Al-
giers, sailed from Gibraltar, with a Fleet, on the
24th ult. and parted on the 12th instant, in a 'gale
and thick weather. •

- On Saturday morning, about seven o'clock, 4
large and beautiful' Vessel, with three decks, destin.
ed for the -West-India trade, belonging to Mr.
MAXSE, was launched in Bristol River. 'lt being
high tide, she went off in a graceful style; and was
baptised " The Bristol," amidst the cheers Of a vast
concourse of people, who Were highly gratified at the
sight:

. THE THEATRE.-The dramatic •attra&•ion' last
.night at Covent Garden Theatre was Tice -Voun-
taineers. The part of Oaavian, purposely.written
to give scope to the powers of KEMBLE, was sup-
ported in such a manner,as to shew how well the
Author has estimated the abilities of the Aaor.—
There was a romantic spirit,
.energy, and feeling
through the whole performance, that powerfully in-
terested the feelings of the audienCe. Miss LOGAN,
in Florantke,• more than justified the favourable ac-

count which we gave Of her. talents. Her figure
appeared to considerable 'advantage in virile attire,
and sire supported the 'chara6ter with truth and sen-.

pihdity. KisA TAYLOR,' who, appeard last sea-
son at this Theatre, in the part of Zorageitz, as-
suned it again last night, and evidently displayed
improved merit in, net performance. She ha's the
advantage .of a very beautiful and elegant person.
BLANCHARD deserves a particular notice for his. 'ac-
tiVity, spirit, anti humour, in time part of Sa(fi, Tho
