MILLEDG EvILLE, OCT. 90
VERY IMPORTANT.

BY this mornings mail His Excellency
Governor Early, received a letter from the
Secretary Of War, dated the 10th instant,
which states that there is strong reason to
presume from Intelligence just received
from our ministers at Client, that Bri-
fish force consisting of twelve or fifteen
thousand men would sail from Ireland ear
ly in September, for New Orleans and Mo
bile, with intention to take possession of
that city and the country through which
the great rivers on which the whole of the
states westward of the Allegheny noun
tains SO essentially depend.
Accompanying the above information is
q gequest, that the $500 detached militia
from this state may be marched as earley
as practicable to the aid OF Gen. Jackson
We understand that orders will be imme-
diately issued by the executive for them to
rendezvous at Fort Hawkins as soon as pos
sible, whence they will proceed without
delay to the place Of destination.

suspended had been resumed, after the re

Lord Castlereaghs interview with the

negotiation was likely to terminate in
peace.

Commissioners, and they refused to admit

Castlereagh the American Commissioners
were sent for, and it was again submitted

London Couriers to the second OF that

made some interesting extracts
The passengers say, the negotiations at

Tie great European Congress was, it is
said, to have met at Vienna GA the 9th OF
September

that lord Hill was to sail for America the
second of September !!
We have carefully examined the London
papers for the movements ofthe force said
to be preparing for America but in none
of them subsequent to the rupture OF the
negotiations at Client, do we find word
of this much talked of general and his ex-
petition In the Courier Of the second of
September, we find that several trans
ports sailed from Ramsgate on the 3lst Of
August for Ostend, having on board the
Cold stream Guards, &c.-and that the

| Private letters from Italy announce, that
BONAPARTE lately quilted the Isle of
Elba, and went to Leghorn in an English
ship; that after staying there twelve hours

of authenticity That Bonaparte should at
tempt to quit the Isle of Elba will not sur
prise any one.
The report OF the rupture of the negotia-
ton with America has obtained some cred

purchases have been made in London ard
Liverpool.
