txra:.:.Ora Letter from —;-- to Mr. Secretary Canning.
. . - july 2S, 1209.
" The term of the Armistice eipires on the 12th
.of August ; but nobody can tell whether the fort-
riight'A term for • announcing hostilities may be
counted' from the 30th inst. or 'Whether the whole
armistice must firs(rUn.out before the denunciation
can take place. F'think it more likely that. the ar-
mistice may be denounced any day after the 30th
instant, and that fortnight later hostilities nay
commence; at any rate I shall not fail to apprise
you, as well as our Commanding Officersi 'if there
be any in. the North. 0;

" I know for certain that some irregular and un-
official overtures for peace have taken place, and that
they are not, yet entirely at an end; but as far as I •
have been able to trace them, they do notappear hi-
therto to offer the moat distant prospect of accorn-
modation.. If the army is consulted, :or the gene-
rality of the-nation, the only vote Will be, tcl conquer
or to. fall with honour, rather than submit to, any
terms BuOnaiv4rte'may dictate."

" I was on theZpoint of sending my letter, When
communicated lo me the most important
Piece of intelligence, that the Archduke Charles had
qUitted the command of the army, and was, ad in-

The General Orders, by which his Intlierinl High.
ness tales his leave of the'armY; are dated the 1301.11
ult. ; and a particular p"a"ssage, in which hi- says,
" that•tmdc.r the auspices of so brave an officer as
P ince John of. Liti)tenstein is, the army will he
led on to new glorious deeds," seims io le:n•ct no
doubt, that the. negociattons either are already, or
on the point of being broken, off. Ilinve sent notice
of this important turn of affairs by this occasion,- to
the Cominaiider in Chief of his Nl,ljesty's troops in

A letter from Cantpn, of 29th Septi:;mber 1809,
contains, the following interesting particulars :---

" The Ladrones have increased in the most as-
tonirling degree ;' so much so, as to threaten the
permanence of this Government. They collect in
fleets of one, two, or 300 sail, carrying terror and
destruction wherever they appear. A plan ivas
laid to seize the. Gentlemen of the Factory, when
they went down .to Macao,' after diSpatching
the fleet for England, and they had not passed
Hungshin ten' hours before the Ladrones came
there, with the design of cutting them off. They
have since had complete possession of the inner
passage, and a few days -ago were within three
miles of Canton. They take possession of every
sinalt town and village .which they can ap-
proach, murdering indiscriminately men, women,
andchildren, burning their habitations, and carrying
off what property they please. Numbers of 'per
sons of both sexes in the vicinity of this place are
daily flocking to it for security. 'Several engage-
ments have taken place between the Ladrones and
the Mandarin men of war, which always ,terminate
Lo the diiacic(aptage of Um ',awl. In the .atit .n-
-stpce they lost, about 30, of their largest and best
vessels, which-carried upwards of 100 men each,
all of which were immediately afterwards manned
by the;Ladrones for their own service. Another
lar.ge division has got possession of the river betw,een
the Bogue and Whampoa, which renders it it-twos-
sible,for a single ship to pass. All vessels at Wham-
pas hold themselves in readiness, in case of an at-
tempt' to burn the fleet, which has been threatened,
and for the. protection of Whampoa town.
" The Viceroy and Mandarins, as much terrified
as other people, are about to make application for
assistance to the Company, to whom they will con-
fess their weakness. They have already purchased
a brig to be heavily armed, and anchored a little
below the Lower Folly.

" The Ladrones have attacked several vessels as
they arrived, and were proceeding up the river.—
Two grabs, from Bengal, have been attempted, one
of; them when under the protelition of the country
ship Auspicious. Three Americans have been at-
tacked ; the last one
.was a.ship from Boston, which
arrived on the‘last day of AiiguSt ; after she,had an-
chored in Macao Roads, and an officer with a boat's
crew had gone ashore for a pilot, she was attacked
by 21 large junks, one of. which bad 28 guns and
300 men. A desperate conflict ensued, w 'itch lasted
an hour and, a quarter, when the American finally
succeeded in effecting her escape, by cutting her
cable and running for protection Under the fort.—
She had on board 170,00,0 dollars.
"- The Dedaigneuse frigate was lying in the Ty
pha, but the wind would not allow her to get out in
time; she, however, convoyed the American as far
itthampee, but finding her greatesudanget would
be-after: she had passe& the Bogue,' she returned
again with the frigate to Macao, to Wait' the firri% al -
of Other, vessels fOr Whampoa. On paasing Lankut,
they saw 17'0.6f those infamous wretches, who had
the audacity io fire at them. The frigate discharged
many shot at them, but was too fir off to do them
injury, the water being tub shallow to allow to.
cross:'

We have reason, to believe by intelligence frorn.l
other quarters, that the cruelty imputed to the La-
drone's is greatly exaggerated. We know that they
are afore bent upon recruiting than on exterminating,
and this indeed. accounts for their surprising in-
crease. As to the Chinese Government soliciting
the assistance of the East India Company to crush
tho'se rebels they are not able
,to subdue, we do not
believe that they are, yet sufficiently cured of that,
e.:npty pride attending
.weakness,. to confess their
imbecility., and to attend to the dictates of reason.
We :have, however, every ,reason to believe that
they. must come to this sooner or later, and.much to,
t6advantage Of this country.

In' die Plain of Passayer, a piece of cannon has
been dug.up, which had been buried tkere by An-',1
drew Hoffer', and contained 10,000 florins in gold
and silver coin.
