LONDON, jANUARy 12. The pervailing opinion among the Amcrican merchants is, that the government of the U. States, as foon as the orders in council reach that country will prohibit all

intercouric with England. '1 l.c America:, minifter, it is faid, does not hentate tO giv it as his opinion, that a war between tin two countries cannot be avoided, if thtse are not revoked. Ni w as we h ive thofficial authority of fc,ie of his nr-vfty': minifters, the chancellor of the exchrrpjer. that all .the provifions of these orders will be strictly and litendly enforced, we mull lay our acount to a rupture with America.

orders ot council. But in this honeth

ble hid did not allow the deputation Ion

to remain, for he immediately obferved, that

ate : the vice pafident being old and dim of fight, did not receive the word confidential marked on tjie papers ; but proceded to read the communication before the whole .uidiance. The papers were from Mr. Piiukney at London, announcing that he had made remonftrances to Mr. Canning on the late Britiih decrees, and had received anfvvers of an equivocal and unfutisfactory nature. ! Mr. Pinckney ipeaks of the Eritifh adminiftration in very reproachful terms; states that he had discovered that the mission of Mr. Rofe was a peace ofdifplomatic deception, and enly intended to deceive and procraftmate, find that the government was "'merely waiting for a favourable opertunity to injure us deeply ; and determined on giving no fatisfaction foroutrngts committed; nor to relax her decrees ; This was intended for the fecrrt ear of the Senate; but you may redily conceive the fenfation produced by this premature difclofurc. To attempt to prevent its fpreading was vain. The French miniHtr, and two or three

of Mr. Rose's fuit were prefent. War

This, in his ultimation, he declined doing. Ii is underftood that early in the week a very comprehenfive cemmunication will be mde to Congicfs, embiacing the whole of the negotiations relative to the Chesapeake, the whole of the correfpondencc of our general relations with England, and fo much, rt fpecting the other European powers with whom we have had differences, a3 will give a full view of the (late of our relations v. ith them. LONDON, Jan. 16, 1S08. We have juft been infermed by a general officer ot high rank, that a fmll fly. itg force, confining of four regiments under the command of George Prevoft, whs fo gallantly difunguiflied at Dominica) is preparing to go to the Bermudas ; for the purpofe of being ready to annoy the Ame

ricans, fhould the exifting difcuffions between the two countries terminate unfavorably. This is an additional proof of the

vigor and activity of the prefent admint llration.
