By a vessel arrived at New York, Dublin papers to the 20th of November have been received, containing London dates to the 3d of the same month. It is thought in that city that the British cabinet consists of Mr. Perceval, for Premier, Mr. Liverpool, Lord Bathurst, Mr. Ryder, Lord Camden, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Harrowby, Mr. Dundas, Lord Mulgrave, and Lord Ellenborough.
The ministry have determined that the Island of Walcheren is to be retained at every risk and loss. The utmost exertions were also to be made for the preservation of Portugal; and the disposable force in England were under orders for these two destinations.
Various accounts are afloat respecting Bonaparte--some accounts have him still at Vienna, others state that he arrived at Paris on the 26th November--and others state that he was on his way to Spain, and that the whole military force of France and Germany would soon be in the Peninsula.
It was reported in London that the British ministry had given orders for the total evacuation of Spain by their troops; and another rumor adds that the Spanish junta had given similar orders. Be this as it may, it is certain that the Spanish patriots do not appear to have the most cordial affection for their British friends; and the British do not entertain a very exalted opinion of Spanish prowess.
Two deputies have arrived from the Tyrolese insurgents, for the purpose of soliciting pecuniary assistance from England.
It was reported that negotiations were progressing in an indirect manner between the British government and France, for the establishment of a general peace.
The peace between France and Austria is officially announced in the Paris Moniteur.
By the remonstrances of the Russian minister at Copenhagen, the privateers are called in; and American vessels can now pass the Sound almost unmolested, on condition of their paying the dues.
The Duke of Portland is dead: and the Princess Amelia dangerously ill of an affection of the liver.
The king of England has issued a proclamation, under date of Oct. 18, pardoning all seamen and mariners who have deserted, on surrendering themselves: and another proclamation of the 24th October, offering a pardon to all deserters in the land service, who may surrender themselves.
A letter from Dublin of the 6th of November says, "The packet has brought an account that an order in council is expected to appear immediately in the Gazette, prohibiting the landing of American produce that has been landed or warehoused in any place since they left America, except from British ships or American ships with English licences. This seems intended to drive you to your embargo, which, from experience, it is expected you cannot maintain."
