[Transcriber's note: this Vendue gets re-scheduled to 19, 20 and 21 December (see 18081001EDRG)]

The Ariadne, Captain Stephenson, arrived last night in 52 Days from Glasgow, which Port she left on the 21st of July, and brings London News up to the 14th of that month inclusive, . . .

On the 6th of July last the average Price of Sugar was thirty-nine shillings & ten pence half penny per cwt. exclusive of Duties.

A Schooner arrived here on Wednesday, with three hundred and forty barrels of Flour from New Brunswick; we understand that the whole of her Cargo has been purchased for Government.

Two American Brigs also arrived yesterday, the one in Ballast, the other is loaded with Lumber &c. on account of a licence granted to her for that purpose. The Embargo in America is still observed in the most rigorous manner, - and we observe an order in one of the American Papers, with which we have been favored, that no Permission will be granted any Vessel to depart for a foreign Port after the 13th day of August last.

An American Paper of the 2d of August contains a Declaration of War against France by the Marquis of [illegible], Governor of the Havannah, dated July 17th, 1808, in which he calls upon his Countrymen in the most feeling and [illegible] manner, to take up arms against the Tyrant of Europe and to defend the cause of their [illegible] Sovereign Ferdinand the [illegible].

On Monday last His Majesty's Brig Belette, of 18 guns, Captain Saunders, arrived here with a prize - the French Privateer Schooner La Confiance, carrying six 9-pounders and one long 12, working on a traverse; commanded by Mons. Gemere, and had a compliment of 76 men. She is from Guadaloupe, and has been one of the most fortunate of any from that Island, having been employed as a Privateer since the year 1800 - and from first to last has captured one hundred and twenty-five Vessels. - She was lately very completely refitted in New York. On the 7th of July she captured the Brig Speedy, Captain Busby, on her passage from Surinam to Halifax, - and on the 23d she captured the Schooner Louisa, Capt. Furnace, from Portsmouth to Barbados, within 50 leagues of that Island. - The Belette taking in water on the 22d ultimo at the Devils Islands near Cayenne, was observed by La Confiance, who got down opposite to Madwyn River, - the Belette preserving an appearance as much as possible of a Merchantman and came to anchor, not far from the Privateer, when weighing anchor and putting to Sea, La Confiance followed, when after a short time the Brig put about and gave chase, soon came up with and captured her, after firing some musquetry into her. She struck her Colours without firing a shot.

On Wednesday Afternoon His Majesty's Brig Savage, Captain Maurice, arrived here from Berbice. His Excellency Brigadier-General Montgomerie came Passenger on board her. We understand that His Excellency is shortly expected to go to Dominique as Civil Governor of that Island.

Errata in our last. [heading]
In adjusting the advertisements for Execution Sales we inserted the 13th inst. in place of the 6th for the sale of Plantation Calcutta, as well as the other Properties advertised for sale on the same date, - Presuming that the sale of Calcutta was deferred as well as the rest, but which does not appear to have been the intention, as we understand the said Estate was sold on the 6th instant.
