WHEN we announced to the Public the Capture
of Buenos Ayres,- we adverted shortly to the immense
commercial advantages which it opened to this Collin-
try ; and it gives us sincere pleasure to find that His
Majesty's Ministers have lost no time in turning
their attention to that most important obje&. A
Conference took place yesterday at the Chamber of
the Board of Trade; between Lord AUCKLAND and
several Members of the Cabinet, among whom were
Lord's GRENVILLE', SPENCER, ELLENBOROUGH, and
M.. PETTY. The obje& of the Meeting was to consi-
der the proper measures to be adopted for the purpose
of facilitating a CommerciaUntercourse between this
Co in try and our newly acquired Possessions in South
America. Several Mercantile Gentlemen, princi-
I ally those Concerned' in Spanish Houses, attended.
the Board. We understand that One of the 'first
pints suggested by. the Merchants was, that the
Trade with Buenos Ayres should be 'thrown open
lo Neutrals as well as to . the Subjeas of this
Country ;. but upon mature consideration, the
disadvantages which must attend such a. measure
were so obvious, that the idea was abandoned. In
if-such a liberty had been granted to Neutrals,
it would have thrown the trade, in a great de-
gree; into the bands of the Americans. It was
therefore, we believe, determined, that theirade with
Beeeos Ayres should be carried on exclusively in
British bottoms. An'other point, which we believe
is ffeally resolved upon by Government, and which
protTnises the most important advantages to this Em-
pire, is, that a large duty, equivalent in' fi to a
prohibition, is to be laid upon all foreign linen im-
ported into Buenos Ayres, which, will of coarse
create an immense :demand for the Irish and Scotch
•

After the meeting of Board of Trade yes'ter-
day morning, a Cabidet.COUncil Was held,.at.Nvhich
Lords GRENVILLE, SPENCIII, SIDMOUTII, ,HENRY
PETTY., and Mr. WEIDH.-m attended:, The Coun-
cil sat till four o'clock, It is not yet known whois
to succeed Mr. Fox in the Foreign Department, but
numerous reports are in Circulation upon the sub-
je& : the one which we are inclined to think the

most probable is, that Lord Howicx will succeed.
Mr. Fox ; that Lord SPENCER Will again-be placed
at the head of the Admiralty, an office for which he
has shewn hiMself peculiarly well qualified ; and
that Lord HOLLAND will succeed him in the Home
Department. His MAJESTY will come to town
to-morrow, when his pleasure upon the subje& will
probably be made known. A Messenger was sent
off on Sunday with Dispatches to Lot!d LAUDER-
DALE, to inform him of the death of Mr. Fox.

WE have this. day made some further Extraas
from the Hanzburgh, Mail which arrived yesterday.'
All the accounts concur in describing the military pre.
pArations Of Prossia,Saxony,and Hesse,as being Of the
most formidable nature. Indeed, the KING of Pkws-
.
SIA has
.gone so far, that he will now find itdifficialt
to retreat, without total loss of charaaer, and expos-
ing himself to the most imminent danger. It is gene-
rally understood that one of the demands 'Which he
has made upon BONAPARTE is, that the French
Troops should eyacuate Germany ; and with that
demand neither BONAPARTE'S pride, nor his inter-
est, will suffer hini to comply. The' extraordinary
exertions which Austria is making to repair the
astonishing losses which •she . has sustained, has
given considerable uneasiness to BONAPARTE, and
he has therefore, -for some time past, been en-
deat,ouring, by repeated aggressions and insults, to
force her again into War, in which no doubt he flat-
tered himself that he should be able to complete the
destruction of the once mighty Empire. To with-
draw at present his Troops from Germany, independ-
ently•of the disgrace of being di&ated to by the KING
Of PRussiA,would frustrate all his plans against Austria.
We cannot therefore believe that BONAPARTE will
consent to evacuate Germany. On the other hand,
it will, as we have already observed, be equally dis-
graceful. and dangerous for the KING of PRUSSIA to
recede froM his demand ; and, indeed, the great
•
exertions which he is making seem to prove that,
he is at length convinced of the impolicy of persever-
ing in his teinporizing system. Private Letters have
been received from -Berlin, dated the 7th, which
state that it was the general opinion in that Capital
that .the next Dispatches from Paris would de-
cide the question of Peace
,or War. We are
not inclined to , think that the question will be
so soon , brought to an issue ; but the Prussian
Troops are all in readiness to commence hostilities.
The Brother of the KING of PitnssfA. set out from
Berlin on the sth inst. forMagdeburgh,and.the KING
and the DUKE of BRUNSWICK. were expeeted there
in a few days. It is stated:that the Bavarian Troops that
entered the Prussian town of Iphofen have evacuated
it, having originally taken possession of •it under an
idea that it formed a part of the Margraviate of An-
spach, which hal been ceded by his Prussian Majesty
to Bavaria. •

The Tozvnsisend Packet,. Captain Dom), with a
Mail from Falinouth. for. Lisbon, is captured, off
Scilly, by a French Privateer..
