Some alarm, we fiud, has heen excited at the
delay that has occurred in Lord AbutettsT's reach-
ing Canton, but that delay has been satisfactorily
explained by the Chinese, who state, that such
hits been the drought in the summer Mid autumn
of last year, that many of their rivers had become
utterly tinnavigable ;' and this fact is fully corro-
borated by. another, which we understand has
been received at the India' House, namely, that
the great river of Kiang-4, up which
,the green
teas are sent, and the Ambassador had to pass,
w,as so redqetid, that the usual quantity of that
description of tea had not reached Canton when
the ships just arrived left that port. Xt was
thought that Lord ANtliftitST would be at Canton
about the' 3d or 4th January.

A Handers Mail arrived this, morning, with
:Brussels Papers to the 34 instant. They mention
additional instances of, great numbers of deluded
-
in~lividr
chiefly from Switzerland, having at.
rived in the Netherlands, intending to go to-
Ameriea. Many of them were in the greatest
ttistressactually begging for 'bread to keep them
Irons starving, whilst others, 'who had a little
property, have been defrauded of great part of it
by a German Swindler, who, under pretence. of
ensuring- them a passage to America, contrived to
persuade them to. pay him the passage. money
befarehand.- tJah their arrival AI the ports pointed
out by him, these unfortunate individuals found
themselves cruelly deceived, whilst the villain who
had obtained their money, to the amount of save-
r 44 thousand forins, in the meat) time absconded,
and he has hitherto eh d d nil pursuit.

NI/a received yesterday three days Paris Papers,
to Thursday last inclusive. Those of Friday,

when.. our Paper was put to press. A brief ex.
planation is given of the cause of the arrest of
AIetIameREGNAULT de ST. JEAN d'ANGELY. It is
stated to have originated in correspondence,
,which waif* ind upon the persons of certain in.
'tlividuals at Calais, who were about to etnhark
without passports for the United States of Ante-
lica. A person of the name of ROBERT has also
-been arie.lted at Rochefort. With respect to M.

Orders have been given for the embarkation of
the 32d and 36 h Regiments, which are now at
Portsmouth. The latter carps is, it is said, to
•
prtneed to Ireland, to relieve the Sib Foist, which,
with the fomer, is to be sent to the Mediterra-
nean, in order that the 2.1 Battalion of the 14th
Regiment, and the 35th Foot, may return to this
Country, when it is expected that drat fine Bat-
Winn of the Buckinghamshire Regiment will

From the general. state of the Shipping tine:.

to tt►e Timber, Trade of British North America,
as it is of the utmost impottanc.e that the "Inglis')

gaged front eight to nine mouths in the voyages

which he entered' a few days ago Against the de-
claration by those advocates of the certainty of
their ultimate success. That success might indeed
ultimately tend to the overthrow of our orthodox
faith and consequently every ,true friend to that
