LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Philip, captain Williams, 56 days from Cowes, arrived this morning, we have received London papers to Oct. 7. and hasten to give the most important items.
It appears by the latest London paper we have seen (Courier) that every exertion is making by the French to recruit their armies.
The emperor of Austria in adverting to the prolongation of the armistice in his general orders, says, "his assent to the measure is to be attributed not to feebleness, but to his affection for his subjects, and his anxiety to avert from them the calamities of war," and again assures his subjects that no peace shall be concluded, but an honourable one.
The expectation of renewed hostilities continues.
While the French conscripts, men and youths, are called out, and five feet boys induced to volunteer.
Austria is using an equal exertion. A levy en masse throughout the Austrian dominions is expected.
The British ministry does not appear to have been reformed. The Courier, the ministerial paper under Mr. Canning, says, the plan of administration, tho' "not extended and combined (as the opposition expresses it) will still go down." "After a reign of half a century in the most arduous times, our venerable sovereign will not be abandoned by his people."
