that he had transmitted them TO the Pres-

THIS statement was confirmed, in substance.
by Mr.. MERCER, OF Virginia, who had also re-

ed "a letter from London of the Alb, the
contents Of which are extremely interest.
ing under existing circumstances. The
person who wrote it, is worthy OF conf.

he came to the knowledge of what he
communicates, leaves no doubt of its
correctness.
The letter states as follows -

that the charge d'sfairs of Portugal has
requested, BY order o. his government,
from MIR. Canning, the new minister Of
foreign affairs, an open categorical and
positive declaration as TO what would be

of Verona, should resolve to threaten the
independence Of Portugal, and to inter.
fere i'll the interna! affairs Of that king.

minister seemed to wish il, that the Brit.
