September 21., The King came to town yesterday, ! «n 1 held a levee, hut the expected pro £ • sw is not made in the meditated i c > uige of ministry. One of the imme cl ,t causes of the change— the r sig n * ion of the duke of Portland, h >s been th.- cause ofthe delay, flis ’.race w,s the k -v-stone i>f the nrch, and that h ■- Jo taken aw»v, the remainder has td- I into confusion.

These - pc sumptions jttstlv offended Mr. (bin ning, who thought that if either Was to b • prefered, he had at least an equal c urn ; but he conceived, that in the pr sent perilous situation of tlu- coun try, neither of them could farm an ad ministration capable of conducting his majes’v’s afftit’s with advantage.

On Tues day Mr. !’ rceval \v>s closeted \yi'h the king r.t M t'ldso:'.

All the minis ters however, attended the levreyestf r <]l <y with the cxc.epti n of lord Castle tte igh ; hut no final arr ingement was inarle. The difficulty s Wert so great, he duke »-f Portland, notwithstanding is mist Table state fit health, was re uested to retain the Seals for a day or wo longer, and no person kissed hands n a new appointment. MINISTERIAL DUEL. The disputes and jealousies by which the Cabin.t has Inen for some time distracted- have had i serious anc! nearly dial termination- It will he seen from f>ur preceding columns, that his road- ; utors proposed to sacrifice Lord Cas llereagh, to Sive Lord dhatharn, and i hat instead of looking abroad for a n w lead, in the room of the Duke of Port end, Mr. Perceval conceived that the lisasters of our .nns which had driven uirne of his co tdjul'irs from office, vest d him with right and title ton. w bon us, although every member of tlu Ca mlet is undoubtedly answerable for the arts of the whole.

Letters received in Baltimore, dated I.’Ori ( ent 28th Sept state that no prospect exists of j settling with France, hut hv joining <n the war against England. The privateers out of France continue to supply them with colonial produce. New-York., Nov. 1 This morning the United States’ sloop of war Wasp Lieut Lawrence arrved here in 33 days from L’Orient, from which place she sa led the 28th September. Lieutenant Has well, the hearer of dispatches from Mr. Armstrong, left Paris the 20th Sep tember. Contrary to the general expectation, there Is nothing received bv the Wasp, that will tend to lesson the evils resulting from an unemipted state of commerce, as will appear from the fol lowing facts, which have been communicated t<> us by passengers in the Wasp, and gathered from letters to houses of the first respectability received by her. In the first place we learn that nothing had been d-me by Mr Armstrong, nor did iie ex pect to bring the French government to any j kind ot terms with the United States, unless t the latter went to war with Great Britain, «r would guarantee to France that America would resist the search of American vessels by the cruisers of England We further learn that the despatches which went out in »he Wasp, had not as lure as the 20th September, been sent to Bonaparte, at Viem a as (i: was observed by Mr. Arm nrron. ) it was useless to trouble him on the subject while he was engaged on the continent. Mr. Arnrnro. g intended some time since to have left France for rhe United States; Hu was prevented by repeated r* quests from the French minister to remain, as something decisive from ee emperor might b? expected but as nothing had been received, and Mr Armstrong des paired of any success, lie intended, as so ias possible, to sail for America—he would have detained the Wasp for this purpose, we are , inform- d, if his family could ’nave been accom- ] modated in her At the time of the sailing of the Wasp, no I hews of peace between France and Austria hail been received Indeed it was rumored ’list a re-commencement of hostili’igs had taken place, and that Russia was on the point of joining Aus'ria, in consequence of the enor mou'. demands made by Bonaparte of the F.m- j peror Francis. It is irue, the prize c iirts in France, have I suspended the Condemnation of American pro petty, but this is supposul to he done to an swersome particular purpose. None of the'im mence p-operty under sequestration had, aswe can learn, been restored General Arrnstrong told one of die passen gers in the Wasp, on the 19;li of Sept, that he had at last pr cured u e release of the A i merican seamen who had been so long impri soned at Art as, and 'ha 1 they would sail about th • lUdi of Oct. from Dieppe in an American brig which he iiad purchased to bring them home. !
