HALIFAX, (NOVA SCOTIA) SEPTEMBER zo.

The Eolus arrived here a few day; ago, from Eng-
land, with difpatches fn. the General and Admiral.
From the precautions and Reps ordered to be taken,
there is a ftrong prefumption that hoßilities are on
the point of breaking out. The 98th, and Royal
Nesfoundland regiments, embark from this immedi•
ately, for Qtlebec ; they are to be replaced by the sd
and 25th regiments of foot, which are expated to
arrive loon ; the marines from the fleet are to be
landed, to AR in the duty in the mean time.
All hands are empinye4 in repairing and flrengthen•
ing the harbour, as it is the general cpinion that this
harbour and dockyard will be the earließ and chief
°Nee of the Americans. Canada is alfo thought to
be a chief objeit with them. Moreau has been recon.

The following letter w.is received this morning :
NORTH SHIELDS, OCTOBER as.

U This moment Mr. las, Surgeon of the Eliza
tender, has landed here from Copenhagen. He left
it on the t ztli inflant, in company with Admiral
STASHOPE, with nine fail of the line, feveral frigates,
and an immenfe number of t:anfoorts, wit. naval
Mores, and parted with the t:ret three days fince, all
well."

By accounts from Yat tr.,:.uth it apppears, that the
Danifh frigate Fylla, and the Englith brig OBERON,
with a convoy of tranfports, (probably part of
thofe alluded to in the above letter) deeply laden
with floret, have arrived there. The LRYDEN, of 64
guns, with another convoy, was to fail frotn Co.
penhagen immediately after the OBERON. The Da-
nifh fhips of the line may be expected in the courfe
of the precut week.

By the fame conveyance that brought the Dutch
papers from which we yefterday gave extratfts, a
number of private letters were received, dated the
17th jail They contain, however, nothing of politi-
cal importance, if we except the following Circular
Letter, addretfed by the American Confulate, at
Amfterdam, to the Merchants of that City, of which
the following is a copy :

u I have to requeft, that you would batten the Departure of
any American vat's which nay be to your addrefs, with all ex-
pedition. (Signed) S BOURNE, American Confulatc."
" Amfterdam, Odt ts, x 807."

The letters which allude to the above, (late, that
the American Conful received his ;nitrations from
General Aamaraosc, at Paris. with an explanation,
that he was led to the- meafure from the confidera
don, that, as it was known to be the intention of the
Emperor of the French to aft upon the Decree of the
ash November, 1806, with the utmoft rigour, there
was every reafon to fuppofe that England.would re-
taliate, and would loon order that all veffels found
coming from, or going to fuch ports as were under
the influence.of the French, would be deemed legal
capture.

But fome of the letters give no credit to the reafon
affigned for the Conful's communication, but Rate
that BONAPARTE, having attempted to promote a
rupture between the Britith and American Guvern-
menu, which he is apprehenfive will be averted in
fpite of all his efforts, has threatened the Americans
with hankies.

Which of thefe is the true caufe for the notice that
has been given to the American merchants in Holland,
we cannot decide; but the firß is liable to doubt, for
if the conduft of Great Britain,either real or probable,
had excited any apprehenfion that the American vef-
fels would be feized by us, in that cafe, the commu-
nication of our intentions would have been conveyed
to Amtlerdam, not by the American Ambaffador at
Paris, but by the American Ambairador at Lon&n.
Nor is the fccond teafon fatislaetory. America bas

-1111

ihewn no difpolition to court the frier,2ll4 of this
country at the expence of a rupture with France.—
It is evielen,, therefore, that whatever may be the
fubjea of difpute een BoNAPARTP and America,
it is a difpnte that relates to themfelves exclufively,
and that affs.as the vital, or, which is the fame thing
with them, the trading interells of the latter c iuntry.
In CO, if America is difpofed to quarrel with
France, the mere decree of BONAPARTE againii her
commerce is caufe amply ft fficient, without looking
to the confeqtAnces likely to enfue from that decree
on the part of England.
The fame letters mention that grounds of diflatiC
faaion begin to appear bet urea France and Ruffin,
but nut mention what there grounds are. If tbey
do not exill they loon will. 144111.4015111 plans for
rounding the territories of his newly created kingdoms
canna: be executed u ithout cutting and carving pp. 4
parts and parcels belonging to Ruins. He sill ac.
quire what he can by negotiation, and when Rullia
becomes tired of giving, will take what he wants by
form—They mull quarrel fooner or later, efpecially
about the fouthcrn boundaries of the Ruffian Empire.

In the preceding columns, we have given extracts
from New York and Halifax papers to the xoth ult.
They contain force remarks on the negociation
tweeen this country and America, and a curious ay-
tide refpaltiog a projected partition of that country,ia
the execution of which the &kith are to be driven
I rorn Canada and Nova Scotia, which are to be ereflei
into a kingdom for Gen. Moavair, who, it teems, is
now reconciled to BONAPARTE! The Americans arc
altar to have a new conllitution, &c. This article ap-
peared flirt in a Halifax paper. It is probably tbe fa-
bricatinn of tome Frenchman.

It appears by the private letters from Halifar, that
Government have not been inattentive to the fafety
of our American poffetEons. Centemplating the
pofEbility of a rupture with the American Stater~
meafures have been taken to put them in a refpeaabk
ftate of defence.

The following communication was, at a late hour
yeflerday, made at Lloyd's; but as the intelligence
to which it relates has been fame time known through
the French Papers, it created no extraordinary (c@.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCTOBER 24.

The Corporation, with a view of adding to the
improvement of the town, have determined to dif-
pole of fevernl old houfes, for the making of a new
timer, whereby a more convenient communication
will he formed with the dillant eaftern.

Molt of the Volunteers who were waiting here un-
til trarlports arrived to convey them to their different
regimews; have at length embarked and failed. They
were a fer of very fine fellows, in high condition, and
in every rel'pe4t able and difpofed to defend and
maintain the honour of their King and Country.
The NIAGNFT, a {loop of war, was hunched at
Gunleaume's Yard, Northam, on Monday laft, and
went off in a fine Rile.

Ts ASURIL—The Afirea frigate, of 32 gnns, Cap
tain Durdsaa, arrived on Saturday at Rnchetter,
from the North Sea, laden with flyer, intended as a
bibfidy for Ruflia, but which was returned from
thence in confequence of the unfortunate iffue of
affairs in Poland. The filver was all in bars, cl
about fifteen inches in length, four broad, and three
thick, and ftrongly packed in wooden boxes ; its value
about 35,0001. On Friday and Saturday, 37 artillery
waggons, from London, arrived at Ituchefter, for
the purpofe of conveying the treafure to town. The
filver was landed at the dock yard, and the wag ms
loaded on the Saturday night, and on Sunday mor
rang, about half pall (even o'clock, they fit off from
Chatham Dock yard, to London. The waggons we: e
all loaeed with a ton each, except one, which went
from Rocheller, empty, in cafe of accident on the
road. The amount of the whole. efcnrt included,
was 37 artillery waggons, 182 buries, and 131 men.
At one o'clock vefitrday the waggons arrived at tie
Bank. They were efcorted by two numerous parties
of mounted and dl;mounted Light Horfemen, node,
the command of Colonel RAVEN scaosr. Their ar-
rival at the Prink attra9ed a very great crowd.—
A ferions acciderit happened to one of the Gua►ds
who WAS fitting on the fore part of a waggon, with
his mike, on which he was leaning, his hand being
placed over the muzzle, when a fudden jerk of the
waggon chufed a button of his overall's to catch the
trigger, and the mufket went off; the ball paired
through the hand, and came out at the upper part of
thi *rift. Though the wound was a very terrible
me, it is fingular that the poor fellow did not know
he was hurt till a few feconds after, when ,ne of his
comrades priinted to his band, which was pouring out
a &cam or bland. He was direaly taken to the
horpital, and it is feared he will lofe his arm.
