LONDON, Sept. 15. DEATH OF Mil. FOX. At a quarter before ft o’clock on Sa turday afternoon, this great and illus trious statesman yielded his last breath in the arms of his nephew Lord Hol land. Ilis dissolution was so gradual, and accompanied by so little struggle, as scarcely to permit the most anxious eye to ascertain the instant. His friends had at least the sad and melancholy consolation of perceiving that he suffer ed no pain—and they had been prepar ed for the event, by the Unerring symp toms of exhaustion that had increased for the two days preceding. On Fri day, at noon, the physicians announced to him the approaching close, and he received it as he had done in the first instance, with that firm tranquility of spirit which was characteristic of his nature, and which he maintained to the last. Mr. Fox died at the very moment when the Park and Tower-guns were announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres. There are various reports as to who is to succeed Mr. Fox in the foreign de partment. Among those mentioned are the Marquis Wellesley, Lord Hol land, and Mr. I'. Grenville. The last mentioned gentleman, it is generally thought, will be appointed. It is singular to remark the fatality that has spread among the leading men of this country within the last twelve months, viz. Marquis Cornwallis, Oc tober 5. Lord Nelson, October 21. Mr. Pitt, January 23. Lord Thurlow, September 12. Mr. Fox, Septem ber IS. The Maniteur lias stated, that the ill ness of Mr. 1 ox, has retarded the work of peace. Wc shall not be surprised, when we look at the state of the conti nent, if the Moniteur shall next state, that Mr. Fox’s death has prevented its completion.—Globe. The embarkation of troops for foreign service, is renewed with increased ac tivity. On the subject of the pending nege ciations with France, we can say no thing- further, than that couriers are continually passing between the two governments. The troops which disembarked from the transports at Plymouth, in conse quence of admiral Louis’s squadron, which was to convoy the expedition, having been detached for the purpose of intercepting admiral Guilleaumez, have been re-embarked, and the trans ports are immediately to proceed to Falmouth, to wait the return of admi ral Louis. A messenger to the Russian ambas sador arrived at half past 4 o’clock yes terday, with dispatches from St. Peters burgh. Yesterday morning Mr. Bisset, the messenger, also arrived in town with dispatches from St. Petersburg!!. Last night a messenger left town for Paris, with dispatches to Lord Lauder dale. Mr. Ruffee, the messenger, set off on Saturday with dispatches for Co penhagen. The remains of Lord Thurlow were brought to town on Saturday, and it is expected that the body will he in state in the course of a day or two. The Russian minister in announcing to the French cabinet, the refusal of his master, to ratify the treaty of M. D’Ou bi’il, declares, “ that that minister had acted entirely contrary to the orders and instructions which he had received; but that in order to leave no possible means of restoring peace, and general tranquil ity untried, the imperial minister has received orders to make known to the cabinet of the Thuilleries, the basis on which his Imperial Majesty will be rea dy to renew the negociations ; so that it will depend on the French govern ment, to accept or decline the equally just and moderate proposals which are made to it.” September 18. We have received Paris papers to the 11th, anu Dutch to the 15th inSt. they both agree in stating, that upon the news of the non-ratification ot D’Ou bril’s treaty, the return of the troops from Germany was countermanded, and the camp of Mucdon, near Paris, was expected to break up.—A camp for the reception of 60,000 men is preparing at Zeist, on the northern frontier of Hol land and other military movements and operations, indicate approaching war— Private letters from Holland staled, that, the Russian Ambassador had left the Hague, but we have seen a letter of the 14th, in which it is mentioned lhat the Russian ambassador is still at the Hague. From the manner however, in which this statement is introduced, ir -,e;ms evident that the rumor of such an event was pVevalcnt in Holland, and that war was generally expected between that country and France. The hopes of Peace have likewise diminished.” GREF.NOCK, Sept. 19. Since our last, both the Hamburgh mails which were due have arrived Their contents are important. Prussia has been driven to such extremity, that unless she at length determines to re sist the farther encroachments of France she must submit to receive the Impe rial coup de grace, and sink into abso lute vassalage. Russia holds a com manding position—Sweden preserves her wonted spirit—and Austria seems waiting for an opportunity to revenge the insult she has sustained. PARIS, Sept. 9. The refusal of the Emperor Alexan der, to ratify the treaty of Peace, alrea dy concluded between Russia & has not as yet been followed by the rup ture of the negociations between the French and English plenipotentiaries, certainly accordingly to all appearances, they leave but slight hopes of Peace. In the mean time, as the signature of Peace with Russia was followed by pre parations on the part of France for the evacuation of Germany, to the unex pected determination on the part of the Court of St. Petersburg!!, which reject ed a treaty which had been actually signed; has immediately determined the Emperor Napoleon to countermand the orders for the return of his army to France, where some of it had already arrived, and the whole would have been soon collected.-—The camp at Meudon, in which the troops first returned, had assembled, and which in a few days wotdd not have been sufficient to ton lain the number of troops expected is about to break up, and we are assured that orders have been transmitted to Marshal Prince Bertheir, Minister of War, and Major General of the Grand Army to stop the return of tiie army. LUNENBURG, Sept. 2. His majesty the King of Sweden, has taken possession of this country, in the name of the King of England; the , Prussian arms and eagles taken away ; and every thing re-established on the former footing, FRONTIERS of RUSSIA, Aug. 20. The name of M. D’Oubril is no lon ger found in the list of the members of the foreign department. BANKS of the MAINE, Aug. 10. We are assured that the confedera tion of the Rhine has received orders from its supreme head, to put in mo tion its contingent troops without delay. A German Gazette announces that his Prussian Majesty is on the point of concluding a confederation for the north of Germany. ALTONA, Sept. 6. On the 21st of August, an alliance was concluded between Prussia and ■ Hesse. Great preparations are making in Russia. That empire has 40,000 men on the frontiers of Moldavia, 40,000 oh those of Gallacia, and 150,000 on those of Prussia. BERLIN, Sept. 6. Ilis Majesty will very soon (it is said next Tuesday) repair to the army; the cabinet minister, Count Ilaugwiti, will it is said, accompany his majesty. It is expected that the foreign ministers will follow the King to the head-quar ters. The Princes Henry and WiHfa’m sg* out yesterday for the army ; each of them will command a brigade.
