LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1827.

We, as well as our Coternporaries, might, for
some days past, have stated the probable Minis-
terial arrangements : but we have preferred the
imputation of being behind-hand with such in-
formation, than incur the risk of stating that
which might not prove to be correct, as we knew
that the arrangements were not, in point of fact,
finally determined on, and that the speculations
on the subject, being made on probabilities,
might, by possibility, still prove erroneous.
Acting on this feeling,.we forbore to mention
yesterday the reports which were in circulation,
and which have been alluded to by other papers,
namely, that the Duke of PORTLAND would
Succeed the Earl of HARROWBY, as President
of the Council ; that Mr. HUSKISSON Would
be Colonial Secretary, and take the lead in the
House of Commons ; that Mr. CHARLES
GRANT would succeed him as Treasurer
of the Navy and President of the Board
of Trade ; and that Mr. HERRIES Would
be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Many other
arrangements, equally probable, we might now
mention ; but knoWing that none of them will be
positively made until after the remains of our la,
mented Minister have been deposited in the
grave, we shall content ourselves with observing,
that the spirit which directed the Councils of his
MAJESTY during the Premiership of Mr. CAN-
NING, will still guide them, both in the selec-
tion of persons and the adoption of measures.—
When the arrangements are made we shall not
be the last to know them, or to promulgate them.

We understand that Count CAPO DISTRIA
is hourly expected in this country, charged as it

is supposed, with some important communica-
tion from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, rela-
tive to its wishes and intentions regarding Greece

Dutch Papers to the 11th inst. reached town
last night, but their contents are uninteresting.
The States of South Holland have passed a re-
solution for giving notice to the local Magis-
trates, that it is his MAJESTY'S wish that all
possible endeavours shall be used to induce the
inhabitants of the country to make more use of

the advantages offered by Insurance Companies
against Fire ; and stating his MAJESTY'S
opinion that it would be of essential advantage
if one or more companies were formed to insure
the standing crops.

AMSTERDA hi, AUG. 10.--Exchange on London, 11
971 ; Two months, 11 95, 11 925.

The Foreign Exchanges, which, for several
of the last post days, have declined, again gave
Way last night ; the causes are traced in the
City to the recent importation of corn, and the
remittances on account of the Danish Loan,
with, at the same time, a very limited number of
bills to he negociated ; but we think that it can
hardly be doubted that the increase of paper cir-
culation which has recently taken place through
the country, has had some influence in produc-
ing this effect. Whatever be the cause, how-
ever, the subject is deserving the closest atten-
tion, for if the Exchanges should fall a little
lower, our present superabundance of gold will
speedily disappear.

We received last night Washington and Phi-
ladelphia Papers to the 19th of July inclusive.
They are still full of angry discussions relative
to the next election of a President, and contain
nothing of importance. The Boston Palladium
publishes a letter from a person belonging to an
American merchant vessel, dated at Lintin, on
the 20th of March last, giving an account of a
skirmish between some British and American
boats' crews, and some Chinese Mandarin's boats,
on the Ist of the month, in which two Manda-
rins were killed and some men wounded. We
subjoin the letter in question.

Extract of a letter from an officer of an Ame-
rican merchant vessel, dated at Lintin, March
20, 1827:---

On the Ist instant, there was a battle bet Ween five boats
of the American and English lying in this port, and two
Chinese Mandarin boats, and one of their men-of-war's
launches, occasioned by a pass boat coming down with
orders for the ship Citizen, of New York, to proceed up
to Canton. The Mandarins took the • pass boat, and were
towing her towards the Chinese vessels of war, when the
Americans and English manned their boats and went in
pursuit. In about half an hour the foremost boat cams up
with them, muskets were fired and stones thrown from the
Mandarin boats ; but our other• boats coming up, they
began an attack, and succeeded in retaking the pass boat
anti orders, and proceeded to the Citizen. I heard on the
2d, that two Mandarins were killed, and two Chinese
wounded. There are three or four Chinese vessels of war
lying here now, and there are said to be thirty more corning
down from town, distant 60 miles. We now lie with all

cur guns double-shotted, ready for battle. The vessels that
are here, I think more than a match for them. It will
probably put a stop to business for some time at Wampoa,
where the vessels lie that are bound to Canton. There
were two men slightly wounded with stones, being the only
ones injured on our side in this affair. •

The French Papers which ought to have arrived
last night, had not reached us before the hour of
going to press.

His Majesty's packet brig Rinaldo has wv-
rived with a North American mail. She sailed
from Bermuda on the Bth July, and from Hali-
fax on the 29th.

Halifax Papers to the 28th July have been
received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The following are extracts
