• RICE IN I'ORTATION. .
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
had received various communications respecting the
importance and practicability of securing large sup-
plies of Rice from India, provided proper Parlia-
mentary measures were taken for the purpose. Great
quantities might come from America and other quar-
ters, which would reduce the East Indian importa-
tions to too low a value. It appeared necessary,
therefore, to give a protecting duty to the rice from
India, and he should propose a duty of 10 per cent.
on all rice from America and other countries not in
his Majesty's dominions, or in the territory of the
East India Company, for a time to be limited. The
Resolution was agreed to, and the report' of the Com-
mittee ordered to be received to-morrow.—Adjourned.

The following are extracts from the communion-
dons welave received on this joyful event :

OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION
OF THE ABOVE GLORIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
By the above Gottenburgh Mail Government have
received accounts to the 3d of November. There
were no further dispatches from Lord CATVCART re-
ceived at Gottenburgh, when the packet came away.
Every thing was going on well with the Russian ar-
mies. PLATOFF had taken 900 men, and 20 pieces
of cannon at the passage of the Dnieper, below Smo-
lensk. A corps of 20,000 men, under the command
of General AUGEREALY (brother of the.. Marshal of
that name) had surrendered at discretion to Count
OItLIFF DENIZOFF.
The last accounts from Kurosope's army are da-
ted Lobkovo, forty wersts in advance of, and south-
east from Smolensk, on the 13th November. At
that time nothing certain- was known of BONAPARTZ,
but he was supposed to be concealed in Smolensk
In the meantime, a most formidable and impale:
trable cordon of Russian troops surrounds that place

We are happy to announce the arrival on our coast
of the Russian fleet. It passed Yarmouth in two
divisions yesterday morning—Admiral Hop; in the
Echtorit, leading the van. The whole ships were
expected to reach the Downs in the course of yester-
day, as the wind was fair.

Last night arrived in town, from Petersburgh, the
Prince KOSTOVSKY, Chamberlain of his Imperial Ma-
jesty the-Emperor of Russ! A, and his Envoy Extra-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court
of Sardinia, with Mr. POTEMKIN, his Secretary of
Legation.

Letters and Papers reached us yesterday from Bue-
nos Ayres, to the 11th of September. By these it ap-
pears, that after the basis had been settled, and De-
puties appointed by the Government of Bueno,
Ayres, to treat with the Montevidians about peace,
yet no sooner were the names of the negociators known,
than the Government of Monte Video objected to
them. Still it was hoped, however, that the settle-
ment of peace would only be delayed, not prevented,
by this circumstance. The papers contain an official
account of some advantages gained by General Bel-
grano, in Peru, of no great importance as to the gene-
ral issue.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the Admi-
ralty, from Sir EDWAIM PELLEW, off Toulon. Ad..
Mind FRIMANTLE was cruizing off Liva, in the 1161-
ford, with the Weazle and Apollo frigates. The two
latter had fallen in with and captured some of the
enemy's privateers, one of which was laden with
pain. A squadron of Russian ships of war was ex-
pected to cruize in the Mediterranean. A reinforce-
ment of some kind was much wanted in that quar-
ter : there were lying at Venice thre; line of battle
ships, a frigate, tour brigs, and three or four schoo-

The Cossacs are every where in full punk of the
fugitive parties of the enemy. The former have now
crossed the Dnieper and the Duna at various points,
and threaten Wilna and Warsaw.
