Lis proposal for an armistice in writing—it
Was made verbally before. But Brune re-
plied that he could not accede to it except
on the condition of Stralsund being surren-
deree! to tiie French.
In consequence of some inf rination said

articles of the treaty between Russia and
iTranee, Sir Stephen Shaff, our consul at
JPetesburpfijt, who has been in this country
upon leave, was dispatched yesterday upon
a special mission to the Russian govern-
ment.
Forty thousand men, it is said are to be
assembled at Bayonne, for the purpose of
forcing Portugal to shut her ports against
this country* The assembling of so large
a force is, we have little doubt, for other
objects than trie mere shutting the Portu-
guese ports. Spajn has not yet received the
recompenre of her devotion to the conquer-
or—and Portugal, perhaps is again destined'
to be under the Spanish yoke.

The lord chancellor ctiid not but com-
mend the serious manner in which the no.
bleea.l had express d himself on a top;.c of
such importance. As ho a ever no authen-
tic documents were before the house, to
gui re an opinion ori matters of such magni-
tude, lit thought it more prudent not to agi-
tate them under such circumstances. The
noble earl would therefore, he hoped, ex-

' Messrs. M-illets have just recieved in-
formation by way of P,ris, that the Shep-
herdess, Do.rn, from London, to N. York
having been caried into Bilboa, the judge
Lord Stanhope, in explanation thanked at Bilboa has declared the capture to be un

observed that what he had advanced, not
only reiered to the present state of America,
but to all indepeiieiant nations, at all times,
when at peace with us.
Lord Mnton objected to the motion, as
jiretifuble, and has condemned the captors
with damages and interest. The reasons
given by th.' captor; for detention were —
1st. The French decree of the 21st Nov.
declaring England to be in a state f block-
ade—2d. That she carried more passengers
tending to legislate upon abstract principles than her papers menti Red—jd.," That her
which was contrary to the spirit and practice bills of lading were not signed."

The Expeditions
The following is extracted from the Hull
jfiarket of yesterday, which we received this
morning.—We insert it without any com-
ment :
" T' e expeditions which have left our
ports, are now so far advanced in their voy-
age, that we consider ourselves no 1 ifiger
precluded from communicating thai intelli-
gence of their destination which we have re-
ceived from officers and others of the first
rank and information, and *hich in our
own mind amounts to a positive and abso-
lute certainty. We believe our armament to
be neither gone to Boulogne, Antwerp,
Flushing, nor the Helder. Boulogne is
impregnable without prodigious risk and
loss, and Antwerp is sowfoonded by a most
difficult country. The. embarkations are
11 it calculated for what military men term a
coup de main.—Enormous mortars and can-
non of ths largest ^calibre, with immense
stores for siege-;, and near 1000 artillery-
men are embarked. We kno^v that an offi-
cer of engineers of rank was sent for from
¦Woolwich; and empl ^yed, merely tor his
local knowledge of the place of attack.
" The grand object of our expeditions*and
;i glorious one it is, we therefore confidently
pronounce, t'rem information which has ne"
Ver yet deceived us, is solely and entirely to
take possession cf the Island ^Zealand of
Copenhagen, and of the •whole Da: li."" U-et
and arsenals.
" In possession of Zealand, we have the
key if the Baltic, so long as it remain* un-
frozen, in our uixonlroulablepossession, and
net a vessel can stir out or in without our
permission. Should Bonaparte prevail upon
the emperor Alexander to act lloSti) .ly to
our maritime interests, with this island in
our hands, we may bid defiance-to alt'the
leagues and confederacies of ;/e powers oi'

The death cf Cardinal York, the last of

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
House of Lords, — ,'hiyust 13.
Neutral Powbrs.
Lord Stanhope rose to make the motion
of which lie I ; .t.ee, respecting a
resolution that all independant nations should
be treated upon the principle of perfect equal-
ity and complete reciprocity. In proposing
this regulation to the hou;e, he had not
merely in his eye the circumstances in which
¦we now stood with regard to America ; the
principle to which he alluded should, in his
opinion, be extended to all states and na-
tions indiscriminately* He could not help
noticing the absence of ministers on tins
occasion; but he had already occasion to
observe that they seemed anxious to avoid
all discussions on this topic, He would
not say that their conduct was not prudent ;
but whatever it might be, he felt it incum-
bent on him to express hi? sentiments, when
the voice of an imperious duty called on him
to express them. He mii-t, therefore, m st
earnestly deprecate a rupture with America,
and the house would, no doubt, unite witli
liim in deprecating that calamity, when they
duly considered the many difficulties and
dan »ers with which we were already beset.
They must recollect that in tunes of scarcity
Our principal relief was derived, first from
Poland, next from America. Poland was
now shut against us by the influence of the
enemy; would we also shut against ns the
ports of America by ourown folly ? Whence
were we to derive materials and stores for.
our naval arsenal, if the North of Europe
and North America are to refuse us the sup-
plies ? Where is the greatness and security
of England whea our navy, the source of
our pride, the source of our strength and
' wealth, is gone ? These were serious const-
derations. He should now only remark,
that.as all individuals, whether high or low,
poor or rich, were the same in the eye of
God; so nations, whether extremely pow-
erful or weak, whether opulent or poor,
should be the same 111 the contemplation of
the law of nations. This was the principle
upon which his mind rested, & upon which
he grounded the resolution he had now to
move—The noble lord then concluded with
moving, " That i; be resolved, that the
principle upon, which we should act towaiels
independent nations at peace with the Bri-
tish government, should be a principle of
'jBeiicct equajlity and comjileie lecirJrQcitj."

S», (CIRCULAR.)
A meeting of the members of the Ante-
can Chamber of commerce, at this port,
has been convened this day, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the present se-
rious and critical 'state of affairs, as relating
to the intercourse between the British em-
pire and the United States of America.
When it is consideied how essentially
the vital interests of both the countries are
concerned in ,maintenance of the relations
of Hmity and commerce, and particularly at
the present juncture, it inu^t be the ¦> ish of
every sincere friend of this country, whether
Briton or American, that these relations
should not be interrupted, unless such in-
terruption ne rendered inevitable by some
imp. n us and irresistible necessity, arising
from that regard, which it is incumbent on
every country to pay to its honour and its
interests.
II the manufacturers and merchants of
thio kingdom shall be convinced that the
conduct ot the British government towards
the United States of America has been and
continue* such as becomes a government
desirous ol preserving tiie relations of peace
and amity ; and if it should now be iouud
that these telattons cannot finger be preserv-
ed, without compromising the honour, and
thereby saciificmg the be.t interests of the
British empire, it is hoped there are no sa-
crifices 01 privations to which the manufac-
turers aid merchants will not cherfuUy sub-
mit, in order to prevent such consequences.
If, on the contrary, the manufacturers
and merchants of this kingdom shall be
convinced that the intercourse, which has
now subsisted for more than twenty years,
between the British empire and the United
States of America, wth so many and such
progressively increasing advantages to each,
is in danger of being inteirupteel by an asser-
tion of claims incprnpatable with regard to
the eqi.d rights of both countries, or by un-
just conduct on the part of either the British
government, or of any persons acting under
its authority, it then Uecomes a duty tii ex-
ercise that invaluable priviledge—the essen-
tial bulwark oi the British constitution,
—of respectfully making such representati-
ons to the government as circumstances of
the case may lequne.
And as these circumstances may be snch
as to render it highly important that the per-
sons making such representations should
act with promptness, and in concert ;—I
am requested to inform you that, if such
Circumstances should arise the members of
tiie American chamber ol commerce ill Li-
verpool hoid themselves in readiness to cor-
respond and co-operate with the manufac-
tures and merchants of Great-Britain and
Ireland, for toe attainment ot the impor-
tant objects herein mentioned.
I have the honor to be your obedient ser-
vant,
JOHN RICHARDSON, vice-president.
