From the LONDON GAZETTE of February S. Foreign- Office, February, 8. HIS Excellency tlie Duke del Iufantado has transmitted to the Marquis Welleslev, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of the decree passed bv ( he General and Extraordinary Cortes of Spain, on the 22d d; iy of January last, constituting a Council of Regency of Spain and the Indies, composed of his Excel- lency the Duke del Infantado, Vice- Admiral Don Joaquim Mosquera y Figueroa, Don Juan Maria Villavicencio, Don Ignacio Ilodriauet de Ribas, and the Conde de la Bisbal. The Gazette contains an order of the Privy Council to the following effect:— that the reading the form of prayer to Almighty God, which was prepared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, in pursuance of the order of this Board, dated the otb of November, 1810, for the restoration of his Majesty's health, be discontinued; and that bis Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury do pre- pare a new form of prayer, to be used in lieu thereof. LONDON, TUESDAY, Feb. 11. The Bulletin exhibited yesterday at St. James's was as follows :—" His Majesty appears to be nearly in the same • state in which he was last week." An Anholt Mail arrived yesterday, bringing the important information of the occupation of Stralsund, and the coast of Swedish Pomerania, by a French force. The Swedish garrison escaped from Stralsund before the arrival of these unwelcome intruders, carrying with them the public archives and Government chest. A convoy from Carlshaw was proceeding to the place, when fortunately it was met by an advice boat from the Governor, and returned to port. The immediate object of Bonaparte, in seizing on the territory of his vassal, is not conjectured, but it haB created a strong sensation in Sweden. The Sandwich packet has arrived at Falmouth, with Mails from the Mediterranean. She left Messina on the 2olh of December, Malta the 3d, Gergenti the 5th, Cagliari the 9th, and Gibraltar the 27th ult. The advices from Sicily by this conveyance throw some further light on the late plot discovered in that island. The most prompt and vigorous- measures have been resorted to for the punishment of the conspirators, among whom are some Sicilian oflicerf of rank, who have been detected in a correspondence with the French Commanders in Calabria. Some of them have received the just rewards of their treachery; and, from the determinate character of the measures that have beet,) adopted, there is no doubt but the remainder, implicated witn them, will be brought to condign punishment. The private letters from Sicily state, that the Queen still Continued unfavourable to the British nation, and that her sentiments towards Murat are those of friendship. This strange perversity of judgment is attributed to mental alienation, produced by ill health, and the immoderate use of opiates. The Kiug remains, as he has long been, a mere cypher in the Government. It is hoped, however, that the recent firmness shewn by the British Commander, and the ilecishe tone assumed by the British Ambassador, will defeat the machinations in favour of the enemy. As proof of the re- estabhshmcnt of the British influence, it is mentioned that strict orders have been issued by the Sicilian Court, that all British licenses should in future be respected. The packet has brought a confirmation of the capture o. the French frigate Pomoiie bv the Active, after a severe engagement. Capt. Gordon lost a leg, and his first Lieu- tcnanr an arm. Ten men of the Active were killed, and 16 wounded. The Pomone vas convoying two artned store- r>: < « at the time of her capture, one of which was in coi- pauy with the Active when the packet fell in with her; the other had escapcd. There is a rumour that overtures for a negociation have recently been received from France. It is probably the expsctation of a war with Russia that has given currency to this report, as it has hitherto been Bonaparte's practice to make proposals before he sets out upon a new expedition of hostility. Letters from Paris state, that Bonaparte was expected to leave that capital for Poland about tin; 20th inst. The French troops in Poland nnrl the adjacent provinces, are supposed to exceed 120,000 men. The Gibraltar letters state that there were only five thousand Spanish troops shut up in Valencia, and that the remains of the two divisions which escaped with Generals Mahi and Freyre, and which had reached Alicant, amount to ten thousand men. The enemy had pretended that these corps ought to be included ill the capitulation, and that Blake should stipulate for them in the same manner as Dupont, on his surrender, had done for the troops under Vedel. The cases, however, were not analogous, as the troops under Mahi and Freyre, were completely out of the reach of the enemy at the time of the surrender of Valencia. The Dublin papers communicate the sentence passed upon Mr. Kirwan in the Court of King's Bench on Thursday last. The judgment of the Court was simply a fine ot One Mark. The speech delivered bv the learned judge is dis- tinguished for several just and liberal sentiments, and is highly interesting. The mildness of the judgment cannot fail to make a favourable impression on Ireland. Notice was given at the Bank on Saturday by Mr. Hase, of the intention of Government to fund fourteen millions of Exchequer bills in the navy 5 per cents.; the bills to be those bearing date between March 1, 1811, and February 14, 1812 ; funds fell in consfquence, 1 per cent. Apprehensions are entertained for the life of General Craufurd. The ball entered his arm, and lodged after- wards in his side, from whence, it is feared it could not be extracted. The four Blue Ribbons, vacant by the death of the Dukes of Portland, Devonshire, Grafton, and Buccleuch, will, it is supposed, be conferred on the Dukes of Norfolk, Hiclunond, Devonshire, and Earl Moira, in the course of i the present month. t Counsel was beard on Saturday in the Court of Exche- rjuer, iu the cause of Sir F. Burdett v. the Speaker of the House of Commons; the pleadings are to be resumed April 22. Court of King's Bench.— Yesterday came on the cause of the King'u. the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the appli- cation of the Rev. Dr. Povah. The arguments occupied the whole dav. It was contended on behalf of the plaintiff, that the Bishop was not the sole judge in matters of tem poral concern; that he had refused to license the plaintilf, on vague grounds, which were all refuted; and that a mandamus ought to go, that the Archbishop might make a strict return of objections. For the Archbishop it was argued, that it lay with him alone lo licar. se or not to license to any lectureship, and that be was the only judge to decide on the fitness of a candidate.— 1 lie Court said they should take lime to consider of their judgment. A farmer at Wingham, Kent, was last week convicted in the mitigated penalty of 20s. for making a false return of his age, to exempt himself from serving in the militia. Friday last, was slaughtered by Mr. T. Griffiths, butcher, of Sowdley, Shropshire, that noted handsome fat ox, which was bred and fed by W. Pinches, Esq. of Ticklerton. This animal, which had never ate cakc, weighed 21 score jind 10 lbs. per quarter, upon an average ; had 2lbs. of rough fat, and sold for £ frT. 10s. Monday, Mr, J. Crane, of Iron- bridge, Salop, slaughtered u pig, of the Berkshire breed, fed by Mr. Ptilin, of Ad- mnstop, which had been justly admired by all true breeders : It measured only seven feet in length, and eight feet in girth; weight, when dead, 41 score and 15lbs.; the leaf and rough fat. 121 lbs. J. The following advertisement is copied from the Plymouth paper:—" Wanted, a steady man in the seafaring line, not belonging to atjinn of war, for a husband for a widow woman. She bath a little property and one child. The roan will be sure to meet with an agreeable partner, and good employ- ment in the merchant service. Nous but a decent middle- ma? ut# tl apply." On the night of Friday sennight, a dreadful murder was perpetrated in the neighbourhood of Wellington, Salop. The body of William Bailey, a farmer, was found at a dis- tance from his own house, with his skull fractured and throat cut. Ilis house was ransacked, all the drawers, & c. opened, and every thing of value taken, aud the keys were placed in his pocket. There was no blood found near the body, but in a house at a considerable distance belonging to the deceased, lately erected, and not finished, there was a good deal discovered. John Griffiths, of Red Lake, was on Monday last committed to Shrewsbury gaol, charged with the above murder. The late Murders.— The result of the recent private ex- amination? of Alblas and Hart, at Bow- street, has excul- pated them from any participation in the horrid murders of Marr and Williamson's families, and both are now dis- charged from confinement.

They communicate nothing of political importance, lt ap- pears that several Couriers from Paris have lately passed " through Vienna f6r ' Constantinople. The Petersburg!! Ga- z< tte. has at'last announced the commencement of Negoci- s for a Peace with Turkey.— The Russian Ambassador II He and Joel Barlow were at Bonaparte's Levee On the 2d in$ t.— A letter from Paris expresses consi- derable doubt as to the success of'tlre American Ambassador. it appears, by a " otter received by a Danish merchant;, now in Leith, that the King of Denmark has prohibited French - privateers from carrying their prizes into his ports. A I'rench privateer which attempted to take in an American, ! fer prrze, wfts fired upon by a fort in Jutland. Generals Mahi, Freyre, Obispo, and Bassecourt, are in Alieatit, with about 10,000 men, a force sufficient, it is presumed, to make a long and vigorous defence: for Alicant is much stronger than Valencia, and can receive succour and co- operation from our naval force more easily. The castle, which stands on a rock, is very strong. It cost the French and Spaniards, in the war of the succession, a siege of almost two years to take it. Lord Wellington, in a letter to the Marquis Wellesley, of the date of Sept. 1, 180$, gave his opinion of the im- portance of the possession of Cuidad Rodrigo.—" Your Excellency has observed, that Soult entertains the design of attacking Cuidad Rodrigo; which design, I understand, was discussed and recommended by a Council of War, held - some time ago, at Salamanca. The success of this enter- prize would do more mischief than the French are capable of tloing, in any manner. It would Completely cut off the only communication which the Spanish Government has with the Northern Provinces. It would give the French the pr- rpetual possession of Castile; and probably occasion the loss of the Portuguese fortress of Almeida." By a vessel which has arrived at Cowes ( the Fingal), intelligence has been received from Norfolk, in Virginia, of the 14th, and from Washington of the 10th of Jan. Advices two days more recent have also been obtained by a ship from the United States, which has reached the West Port, It appears there are sotrte grounds for believing that the accounts bv these opportunities are much more favourable to tranquillity . f? r*> « t Hrirjiin. than anv former news tnd to intercourse with Great Britain, any since the Report of the Committee of Foreign Relations submitted to Congress. It is anxiously hoped that such a cheerful prospcct will not bte obscured. A short paragraph in a letter transmitted from Paris, is connected with this subject:—" Barlow ( says the writer) is far from succeeding in bis negotiations with the Little Corporal," a cant name applied to Bonaparte. The Board of Trade yesterday convened a Meeting of the persons interested in the Wine Trade, and proposed to them the following regulations:—" That on exporting from hence one hogshead of sugar, they should be allowed to impor from France ( for exportation only) two hogsheads of wine, or one puncheon ( not exceeding 120 gallons) of brandy.— On exporting from hence 10 cwt. of sound coffee, to be allowed to import ( for re- exportation) two hogsheads of wine.— In all cases the interchange to commence by the ex1 p irtation of the sugar or cotTee from hence, or the return, whether of wine or brandy, not to be admitted to home consumption." This proposition is to be considered as a mere suggestion on the part of the Board of Trade, and open to farther dis- cussion. The fiual determination is expected at the next meeting. Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Active frigate, dated Malta, JHII. 3:—" We arrived here this, morn- ing, after a passage of ten days, from Lissa. Being upon a cruise with our small squadron of three frigates, the Alceste, Captain Maxwell;' Unite, Cnptain Chamberlaynej and Active, Cnptain Gordon; on the29th of November, we de- scried three French frigates, to which we gave chase, with every inch of canvas. The smallest, which afterwards turned out to be a 26- gun- ship* with 200 men, steering a different course from the two larger; the Unite was sent after, and ultimately captured her. About one o'clock the Alceste and Active had gained so much oil the others, that we began to ex- change shots; when an unlucky one from the enemy carried away the Alceste's main- topmast j of course she dropped astern, and we, pushing for the stefnmrtst, soon get within musket- shot, and into close action. In 4!) minutes, the enemy ( whose consort lift her to her fate) found resistance vain, About the middle of the action, Captain Gordon, whilst giving his orders with the greatest coolness, lost his leg. lie T\ as » tnnrth » ( 5 i> » a * « ot- bag, mid 1 failing on the capstan, when a 361b. shot eaine in through the port- hole, grazed the car- riage of acarronade, took oil'a seaman's leg, and struck the Captain 011 the knee- joint, carrying all off, < is it It had beeu do. ir by n knife, and leaving the leg hanging by the tendons, but shattered down to the ancle. Although he instantly, of course, fell, he did not become insensible, but talmjy directed the First Lieutenant ( Dasiiwood) to fight the ship; and, as he • was being carried below, told the Second Lieutenant ( Haye), who commanded ou the main- deck, to do his best, should any mischance befal his Senior Officer. Lieut. !>. very soon after losing his right arm, was conveyed below, and Lieut, H. as- sumed the command, and clo- ed the action, the enemy striking her colourslo the Active. She proved to be La Potoone, a tine frigate of 44guus, and 3G0 men. When the Alceste came up, Captain Maxwell ( Commodore of our squadron), con- sidering the capture as the fair trophy of the Active, most imblvseut the sword of the French Commander to Captain Gordon, as his right by conquest. Captain Gordon suffered amputation a little above the knee, and is doing extremely well." A Gentleman, it is said, just arrived from Paris, states, as a fact which may be relied on, though neither the public papers nor private letters have dared to notice it, that about a month ago, whilst Bonaparte was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, a person in tile crowd fired at him with a pistol; the ball, it is said, struck him on the breast, and fell to the ground, from which it was inferred that he was protected by slight armour, like his predecessor in usurpation, Cromwell. The pistol from which the ball had been fired was found in the possession of a Spaniard, who was iu- > stuntly conveyed to prison. It was believed not to be the intention of the French Government to bring the delinquent to open trial, iorder that as little as possible might trans- pire abroad of the affair. On Friday in the House of Commons Mr. Bankes moved the second reading of the Bill for the prevention of granting Offices in Reversion.— Mr. Win. Duudasand the Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the Bill. It had been twice thrown out in the Lords, and jvoultl again meet the same fate, if agreed to in the Commons; besides, it was now ad- mitted by Mr. Bankes, that no saving would accrue to the ciuntry, if it should become a law. After some debate, the House divided, when the Rill was lost by a majority of ii, tlit numbers being for it, 54, against k, 60. On Tuesday the Roval Assent was given, by Commis- sion, to the two Household Bills, and the Regency Expenses Bill. Insolvent Debtors.— The Bill now before the House of Lords, sent tip from the Commons for amending the Lords' Act, in order to remedy the inconveniences arising from Debtors being confined at a distance from any place where Assizes are usually held, enacts, that the Court petitioned by any such Debtor may order him to be brought before the Justices at tiny General Sessions of the peace held within SO miles of the gaol; and that such Justices shall, under sucll orderj have power to determine in the case of such Debtor, in the same manner as a Judge of Assizes, under the Lords' Act. The Earl of Aylesford is reported to have resigned bis place of Steward of the Household The Lord Chancellor bus appointed Friday next for finishing the business of the term, by passing Judgments, instead of Wednesday, the first seal. I his arrangement, whii# i is very uncommon, and which must, besides, be ex- ceedingly inconvenient to the Counsel, as the Master of the Rolls also sits on Friday, has again given currency to the leport, that liis Lordship is about to retire from Office. An additional stamp duty is said to be in the contem- plation of Government, which will materially affect not only Bankers; but all persons who are under the necessity ef drawing for money deposited in any hands whatever. It appears that nearly one- sixth part of the whole in- habitants of this town, and nearly one- fifth of most of the other large towns ill this county, are now in a condition to require the aid of charitable relief. Had it not been for the Uncommon mildness of the season, it is believed the number would have been much greater, l'bis is a state of affairs which ive believe is without example, except at the time of • the scarcity in 1801.— ( Liverpool Advertiser.)

Acerbi, in his travels through Finland, relates a very curious law which prevails at Abo, viz. that the bodies of all pensioners and sinecure placemen, after their deccase, become the property of the State, and are delivered to the surgeons for dissection.

I.. 11 ' * ' The following is the speech delivered by Judge Day, in pronouncing the sentence of the Court on Mr. Kirwan, for voting at the election of Legates in the General Catholic Convention, Dublin i— " The act of which you stand convicted has been declared and enacted by the Legislature a high misdemeanor— not for being in its own nature contrary to any principle of honesty, or morality of justice, but for wise and political reasons, namely, because, in the words of the statute, " the election of representative bodies may be used to serve the ends of factious and seditious person-, to the violation of the public peace." The statute, therefore, first declares and enacts, that all representative bodies, all delegations for public matters, are unlawful assemblies ; and provides that even the pretence of petitioning, whether true or false, the most constitutional or specious of all purposes, shall not serve to cloak the proceeding. The statute then proceed", in the wise spirit of pj- ecaution, to arrest the offence in the very first steps of its march ; and it enacts, that the primary or constituent meeting, the voting or acting at such primary meeliug, nay even the publishing a notice of such intended primary meeting, shall be a high misdemeanor, and this be- fore it is possible to say what the conduct of the future elected assembly wilt be. In a word, the pretence of petitioning, forms no competent ingredient of the offence : it is the con- struction or constitution, mid not the conduct or object, of such an assembly, which makes the criterion of its legality or illegality. It is not the province of the Bench tn vindicate the Legislature, but it would be easy to. shew that there ia no hardship in the statute ; it restrains alike the. Protestant anJ the Catholic ; it does not controvert a single point of the Constitution, By a superabundant care, ft saves the sacred right of petition, leaving it in the same precise plight and condition as wli^ n asserted at the glorious Revolution by the Bill of Rights, Thus that inestimable and unalterable privilege of a free people has been expressly saved alike to all the sects of Ireland, whether Protestant, Presbyterian, or Roman Catholics, in the same purity and perfection in which it is enjoyed by our fellow subjects in England.— And for myself, 1 own I do not desire to move in a wider or more enlarged sphere of civil and political liberty, than that high- minded and intelligent people are contented to enjoy.— In England, where a clear conception and a noble jealousy of their rights and privileges are known to pervade the w hole mass of the people J- in their wildest excesses of freedom, assemblies of thi^ description were never thought of. These conventions and congresses, and other assemblies,' formerly elected to represent great bodies, are exclusively of Irish growth ; and have always been plainly calculated to overawe the Parliament, to controul its deliberative faculty, and brave and brow- beat the Government. Such were the Dungaiiuon Conventiouists of 1793 ; such were the Volunteer Conven- tionists oM782 ; sucls weie the Catholic Convention assembled at Kilkenny in 1642, composed precisely of ( lie same mate- rials as the present Catholic Convent inn— of peers and prelates, and of county and city representatives, w ho commenced their labours w ith solemn professions of humility and moderation, and ended in forming themselves into a Parliament, and assum- ing the functions of a Legislature.. Such assemblies, as they are the representatives of discontent, become, by an easy and natural transition, the ministers of sedition. I am persuaded, from the well- known personal character of some leading in- dividuals of the Convention, that they have entered into it with the mist innocent aud even virtuous views, aud that they would be the last to harbour any desire against our Consti- tution— that glorious Constitution, w hich every individual of them has sworu to protect in Church and State. " But it is in the nature of man, when he once passes the limits of the law, to forget soon hi? past motive of action, and often to launch into excesses and extravagancies, at the bare mention of w hich his heart at first would have recoiled. Tur- bulent and Inud- tongued politicians, w hose trade is declamation, and whose motive is nut religion, but ambition, soon command and domineer at such assemblies, the light and wottliless like chaff rise to the surface, and soon acquire an ascendancy, while those of intrinsic weight and sterling value sink to the bottom mid disappear. " Under these circumstances, the Government, in discharge of its prime and most imperious trust, have stepped out seasonably, and with a laudable energy, to avert the im- pending danger: but with an energy not more laudable and efficient, than the moderation and conciliatory spirit which they have since displayed. The Attorney- General having obtained, upon two several occasions, the deliberate construc- tions of the Court upon the Statute in question, feels himself at liberty to indulge the well- known mildness of his nature, and the magnanimous moderation of his Government, and has entered a noli proscr/ iiiupon the several other depending cases: he has done this too, unclogged by any disparaging terms or condition, confiding implicitly in the iovalty and good sense of the Catholic Convention, that they will bow with becoming and respectful submission lo the law as now expounded— ex- pounded, it is true, by a fallible judicature ; but still the established law of Ihe land, as thus expounded, till the deci- sion shall be reversed by the dernier resort. " Before this the first juridical construction of that Statute, it was but fair to presume, that the Catholic Body acted in mere error, and not under a wilful and perverse misconstruction of a law, upon which some able and virtuous men had enter- tained a conscientious difference of opinion ; ami therefore every antecedent violation of it, was a wise, conciliatory, and just policy, to overlook and to consign to oblivion. Bnl ( he case henceforward will he widely different; henceforward no subject of the land, w hether Protestant or Catholic, can jny that he violates the law inadvertently and without notice: — every future infraction of the statute^ as it will be wilful and contumacious, so it must he visited with the most exem- plary punishment. Before I close, allow inc to recommend, Sir, to you, anil threugh yon, to the Catholic Body, tjie sage council of their btst adviser, and their cordial friend, the Solicitor- General. I agree, implicitly with him, that the Cnthnlic Cause has not so mischievous an enemy as the Catholic Convention. That unlawful assembly has diverted the public mind from the tru£ question, and before the great question of Cafholic Emancipation can be discussed, the UM and Constitution^ whicb tiii- s assembly has invaded, Thrapston.

HOUSE of COMMONS, Thursday, February 13. j\ f R. Whitbread rose to make his promised motion j. Tl relative to America; iu doing this he could not but express hi= regret at seeing the House so thinly attended upon an occasion of such importance to the interest of the country, — A war with America was what all concurred in deprecating, and of which all had the most Serious apprehensions. The persons engaged in the negoclations between the two countries, had individually asserted that each country was actuated by a conciliatory disposition; nevertheless it was every day shewn that the breach was more and more widened; and if they • were to take the speech of the President as any authority, a war was unavoidable, should Great Britain persist in the line nf conduct which she had hitherto adopted towards America. The correspondence for which he should move, and which he knew he was to he refused, was already known to all who could peruse a newspaper. Every body was in possession of that correspondence but the British Parliament alone; how ^ hen could the refusal of it be justified ? The Hon. Member here took a general view of the several negociations which had taken place between us and the American Government, all of whirh had proved unsuccessful; it was therefore necessarv for the House to put themselves in possession of information which might enable them to decide fully and fairly between the parties. He would not now go into an inquiry whether, as regarded America, our Orders in Council were politic or wise ; but no one could doubt they were injurious to our trade with America; no one could doubt that if the American market were thrown open it would be a great good ; no one could doubt if a war with America were to take place it would be a great evil.-—( Hear, hear!)— We could not put down America— we ennld not annihilate her— perhaps we rould not even chastise her;— the event of a war witll her would be very uncertain : we have set her up, but we could not pull her down. Till within the last 24 hours he had con- fide red the period for conciliation was gone by ; in that time, however, there bad been fresh arrivals; and he rejoiced to see f the door still open. The late Act of the American Government woiild awaken tire jealousy of France; and he called on the House, and on the Right Hon. Gentleman, to take advantage of the favourable opportunity, and endeavour to adopt the conduct of conciliation. He confessed his partiality for Ame- rica ; he reverenced her for the struggle she had made against this country for freedom. The result of that struggle was what it ought to be, and what every wise man must foresee it would be. She had been accused of being partiul to France; he denied she had been so; she had been ill- treated both by France and England i she had been obliged, by that treat- ment, to put in force an Embargo; and, in self- defence, to pass her Non intercourse Act. France had had the wisdom first to recede from her system of injustice, and she had derived the benefit of it; this was deemed partiality to France and injustice to F. ngland. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving itn address to the Regent, praying him to order to be laid before the House copies of certain correspondence be- tween this Country and America. Mr. Stephen replied to Mr. Whitbread. America ( he taid) had shewn a spirit of hostility to all the proposals and ennressious which England had made, and was willing to make ; and she had insisted upon such pretensions as we could Dot, iu conformity with the honour and credit of the nation, recognize. The question was not whether we should go t « war with America, but whether America would goto war with us. America had acted ( whether for the purpose of countenancing the hostility of France to this nation, or not, be could not say) in a manner most insulting to this nation, and mi » t derogatory to herself. Mr. Curwen spoke in favour of the motion. He stated that America was a subject which the Right lion. Gentleman op. posije ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had treated with much pertinacity, lie however, hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not be long in that situation in which bis pertinacity upon so important an. occasion, as the question of peace or war with America, would be of so much con- tequeore. Mr. Perceval spoke at great length against the motion, lie denied that tlte Orders iu Council were the cause of the present commercial distresses ; the real cause was the continental system; but for the Orders in Council the distress would have been ten times as great as it is. If he ( Mr. P.) was of opinion thenegnciation was finally closed, he would not with- hold the correspondence moved for; but, however slight his hopes of accommodation might be, whiie any remained, he would not be the person to extinguish those hopes— ou the corttrarv, he would maintain them as long as he could. An Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Curwen), had more than once io the course of his speech, expressed a hope that his Majesty's present Ministers were not likely long to, hold that situation. Whatever golden dreams might be indulged on this subject,, he mu- t say, that as far as he knew any thing about the matter, lie rather imagined that the Hon. Gentleman would 4ad, that his consolatory prospects would not open upon bim q| oMe- so pleasantly a* he lind imagined, ( llear, hear.) Hut Sf the system which the Hon. Gentleman so strongly recom- mended, were to be a system dictated to the Government of this Country to pursue, then, indeed, he should feel happy to quit his present situation, and not to form a part of any Administration which should pursue a course so hostile, as he conceived, to the true interests of the country. After several other Members had spoken, JMr. Whitbread replied to the various arguments that had been adyanced, and ( alluding to what had fallen from Mr. Perceval) observed, that, for himself personally, he cared not if the Right lion. Gentleman remaine I in office; but, when he reflected on his country, he felt the deepest regret, for it brought to his mind a train of the most painful recollections; and, if the Right Hon. Gentleman's statement were not mere vapour, it was ami nous for the Empire;— From an Administration, conducted as his had been, the country could expect 110 benefit. The House then divided, when there appeared,— For the motion, 23; ujainst it, 126; jnajonty, 103.

Steeple- Claydon, Feb. 8th, 1812. i I LONDON, FRIDAY February 14. Mr. Madison, the American President, is said to have be- come unpopular in America. As a proof of it, it is stated that the Members of Congress omitted to adjourn and pay their respects to him 011 New Year's Day, as had always been the. usual custom. On Friday se'nnight, a most respectable meeting of the subscribers to the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, took place, for the purpose of considering what measures may be proper to be adopted by that city, upon the expiration of the East India Company s Charter. The Chair was taken by Mr. M'Adatn, who very ably and concisely opened the business. He was followed by Mr. John Cave, who congratulated the subscribers upon the very liberal and extended ideas which appeared to actuate the gentlemen composing the Committee of this Institution, and from which he could not but anti- cipate the most favourable results. He very forcibly pointed Out the evils under which the commerce of this country, particularly the out- ports, laboured, by the exclusive pri- vileges and monopoly of the East India Company— this b iwever is not the only grievance of which the British Merchant had to complain. It came, he said, within his own immediate observation only a lew days since, that a vessel cleared out from the port of Bristol to America ( but with the intent of trading to the East Indies with British goods) which would thereby be enabled not only to trade to the East Indies, but would even be able to undersell the Bast India Company themselves.— After some further con- m- sation, the proposal of a requisition to the Chief Ma- J|: rate to convene a general meeting was unanimously and cheerfully adopted. Letters received yesterday from Manchester state, that several of the most respectable manufacturers had been re, eentlv threatened with the conflagration of their premises. The villains, it is added, bad even the audacity to send a circular letter to several houses which they had marked out for destruction. The first house on their list was that of Messrs. Haigh, Marshal, & Co.; and, 011 Sunday night these gentlemen's premises were set oil fire, and entirely destroyed. Every precaution has been taken to prevent farther mischief, and a strict inquiry is miking to trace out the incendiaries. In another part of this paper, we have given a short account of the barbarous murder of Mr. Bailey, of the Old I': « rk, near Wellington, in Shropshire, stating that John Onthths, a neighbour of the deceased, had been taken up on suspicion of having perpetrated the horrid deed. A t oroucr's inquest has been held on tha body; when it ap- peared, that the prisoner lived about a mile from the deceased, aud attempted lately to borrow money from Liui; that about five o'clock on the night when the murder was committed, Mr. Bailey was seen going towards the prisoner's house, and about nine o'clock the prisoner was observed dragging something from a new- built house, iu which he carried on the business of a cooper; that he left the burden 011 the steps while he looked up and down the x. jad, aud then dragged it round the bouse. Upon ex- amining the premises, much blood was discovered upon the walls, and 011 the floor in the cellar; the former had been f raped, and the latter was covered with sand. The j. riaoiier accountcd for this blood by saying, that part of a horse had been left there. A shirt was found under the coals iu the cellar, having the initials of the deceased upon it. In the prisoner's house a cooper's adze was discovered, with marks of blood upon it, aud the edge of which fitted the wounds on the top of the head and over the eyes of the " deceased; the fractures on the skull corresponded with the hammer- formed part of the adze. The prisoner was fully < jy « jjUMUed for trial at the next Shrewsbury assizes.

ADebate of considerable lengjth tonk place last night, in the House of Commons, upon Mr. SVIiitbread's motion for the Correspondence between the British and American Ministers, from the 1st of January, 1810, to the present time, In support ef his motion, Mr. Whitbread repeated the sathe arguments which he has so often urged before— He justified the conduct erf the American Govern- ment, in every particular, and, of course, censured the Administration of this country. He denied that the Ameri- can Government had manifested any partiality towards France; and, in a word, threw the whole blame of the pre- sent differences upon Great Britain. The number of Gen- tlemen, however, who agreed in opinion with Mr. Whitbread, appeared last night, upon a division, to be twenty- three; and there is great reason to believe, that not a much greater number would be found out of doors who would concur ith him upon this subject. From the time when the Ame- rican Ministers were called upon to pay beauconp d'argent for permission merely to obtain an audience in Paris to the present hour, the Americans hasre been treated, by all the French Governments, whether called Directors, Consuls, or Emperor, with the most undisguised injustice, and the most studied insult; and yet America lias borne these insults and outrages, with the most lamb- like meekness. So far from threatening war, she scarcely even ventured to murmur out her complaints, in the gentlest tone. How the American Government has acted towards Great Britain is equally notorious: and yet Mr. W. thinks that it has mani- fested the utmost impartiality to both the Belligerents ! Some observations in the Chancellor of the Exche- quer's Speech, will be read with the greatest pleasure throughout the country. He said in answer to some allusions made 011 the other side of the House to a probable change of Ministry, " that what golden dreams these Gentlemen had in their imagination he could not conceive, but as far as he was acquainted with the business, he did not think their consolatory prospects would open upou them quite so plea- sant as they expected " It is very confidently reported, however, that though no change may take place iu the political Departments of the State, the personal friends of the Prince Regent will be provided for in the Household Establishment, which is about to be formed for bis Royal Highness. Earl Chol- mondeley, it is said, is to have the place of Lord Steward, in the room of the Earl of Aylesford; and the Marquis of Hertford, to be Lord Chamberlain. ' The Earl of Egremont is to be Master of the Horse, but his Lordship declines receiving any emoluments for the Office. The Duke of Northumberland has declined any place for Earl Percy; but it is supposed, that his son- in- law, Lord J. Murray, will be included in the new Treasury Board. Windsor, Feb. 13.— The King remains much in the same state. It was reported yesterday, that a cutter had arrived from Sweden, bringing an account that the Swedish Government had, on the 3d instant, declared war ugainst France, in con- sequence of the seizure of Strnlsund. The ship Erin arrived from New- York, brings intelligence from thence down to the 15th ult. It appears thatthg Ame- rican Government continue to be employed in hostile measures towards England. A motion, however, for per- mitting private vessels to sail, armed, has been negatived. It is said to be understood from a source that cannot be questioned, that Joel Barlow, the Americau Minister at "^ aris, is attempting to negociatea loan in Holland for the use of his Government, auditis expected he will succeed. Four foreigners have arrived in London, with a King's Messenger, but they are not prisoners as has been erroneously stared. They came over in the Hermes from Corunna. Previous to their landing, a King's Messenger was in waiting at Plymouth to attend them to London, whither he accom panied them 011 Tuesday last. The Messenger seemed to treat them with the most marked respect. A report prevailed 011 Thursday, that a Spaniard of great distinction had gone over to the enemy. It is hoped that this report may prove upfounded. The following Gentlemen were on Monday last called to the Bar, by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's lun .— Edward Collins, jun. E> q. W. Hallett, 1un. Esq. W. S. Round, Esq. and the Hon. R. B. Bernard. In consequence of a Letter from Dr. Herbert Marsh, ad dressed to Mr. Perceval, expressing his fear of the British and Foreign Bible Society, the exertions of which at this moment attract the reverence and admiration of all classes in the country, that gentleman ( Mr. Perceval) has written a reply, expressing his decided and unequivocal approval of it; and has become a liberal contributor to its funds. In the Court of Common- Council, on Tue* day, a motion was made to grant the sum of X500, to the National Society for Educating the Poor, and the same being taken up as a party matter by the friends of Mr. Lancaster, the motion, after a long and violent debate, was negatived by a majority of t>, there being for the grant 47,— against it: 53.— N. B. The application for this grant did not originate with the Society.— The sum voted to Mr. Lancaster, at a former Court, was „£' 300.

Spencer Perceval, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who in a personal interview was pleased to express Ilis approbation of the measure in a most Hal- tering manner, and his willingness in any way to promote the welfare of the Institution. At a very numerous and respectable meeting liolden on Friday, iu one of the Court Rooms of Litchfield Cathedral, the Dean of Litchfield in the chair, the resolutions pro- posed for promoting the education of the poor in the diocese of Litchfield and Coventry, passed unanimously. A requisition to the High Bailiff has been signed bv the merchants and manufacturers of Birmingham, requesting him to call a town's meeting, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to throw open the East India trade for the benefit of the public.

Nottingham Riots.— The Nottingham Review says—" It is with great pleasure we state, that the destruction of frames this week, has been much less than that of the last." Some of the prisoners in Oakham gaol lately made an attempt to escape, which was happily frustrated. The Eclipse London coach was overturned at Stamford, on Saturday. In turning down St. Mary's- hill, the wheels caught the curb- stoues, and overturned the coach against the church. The coachman and another person were pitched into the church- yard, unhurt; hut two passengers were dreadfully cut in their faces by the fall. THE CHACE.

TIIF, POINT OF IDENTITY. rgMIE sent of sensation hath long been disputed, I And puzzled Philosophers labour'd in vain, To find out a something that might be computed The point of Identity, certain and plain. That something:, which proves a man's personal being, And serves from the rest to distinguish him so. That still his own self he might know he is seeing, Altho' he's so changed, he can scarce himself know. Of old, il wa3 thought the umbilical regions Were meant for tiie palace where Self held its throfle) And still it appears there are numberless legions. Whose souls seeni to dwell in their stomachs alone. As man became polish'd, enlighten'd and tender, It rose from the stomach, and fix'd in the heart; Then love was the very best proof they could render, And each in another's existence had part. Then Learning look'd higher, and raised in its season Self- consciousness up from the heart to the brain ; Then man was proved something, by Knowledge and Reason, And be who knew nothing, did nothing remain. But we who live later, have made more improvement, Have found out the puzile which plagued the folk past J Distinction among lis has made a new movement) And weightily dwells in the pocket at last. Some notion the Ancients had got of the matter, And In an oli maxim threw light on the plauj The adage is true, be it solid or satire, " l'is money that makes and identifies man." No modern Illumine ever need doubt it, For he who is learned, and virtuous, au « I wise, Is only a shadow, a scarecrow without it, For knaves to impose on, or fools to despise. But he who possesses importance of pocket, His tangible excellence ev'ry one knows; Though dim as a rushlight that burns in the socket, He shines like a comet whereufcr he goes. Thus Wealth is the suhitance of sc(/- demonstration; It shews who are rotten of- sound at the core ; When it alters the man, as it alters his station, Aud lets out a character hidden before. For some it proves cunning, who once were thought sappy. And some it proves cruel, who once were thought kind, And some it proves W'retched, who used to be happy, And some it proves mad- men who seem'd of sottml mind Ilow cheering the symptoms, what pleasure revealing, The mind which expands as the pockets extendi More noble and gencroust geutle and feeling, To riches d pattern, and poverty's friend. Sunday and Tuesday's I'osts-*- continitedJrom thefirst page Oil Saturday afternoon letters and papers were received from New York to the 7th, and from Washington to the Sd of January. The proceedings in Congress are not given in the public journals to a later date than the 1st of January, — tin the 30th of Decerhber a warm debate took place in the tower House on 1 the Volunteer Bill,' during which it was asserted, that the rights of the United States had been . insulted by Great Britain, and it was hoped that a determi- nation had been now raised to avenge the wrongs suffered, and that for this purpose the hill might be passed. The House then resolved itself intp a Committee on the Bill from the Senate, for raising an additional force for a limited time. The question was, whether Mr. Porter's amendment should he concurred in, for reducing the original number proposed of 25,000 men to 15,000. Mr. Fisk, a democratic Member, thought thai the cheaper way would be to raise the whole force, in the Contemplation of an attack upon Canada. Mr. White said, that if he should hear to- morrow that the orders in council were not revoked he would advise the seizure of Canada as arf indemnification. The amend- ment was rejected, and the various directions of the bill reatl and approved. On the following day the subject was renewed, when Mr. Clay took an opportunity of recommending u war; and Mr. Widgery, of New England, asserted, that, in that State alone, he could raise a regiment which would be competent to take and hold Canada. The New York Gazette, of the 4th of January, expresses surprise that the near approach of war excites no emotion, and accounts for this apathy by ob- serving, that any change would better the condition of the people of the United States. Thus, it appears, that the news inserted in the papers is of a very warlike character ; and the intelligence contained in the letters is not less so. It is also stated that, on a subsequent day, the bill to allow American mer chant vessels to arm had received the legislative sanction, and had passed ; and that in consequence several vessels in Various ports had begun to equip. From New York they write, tiiat an embargo was expected of a temporary nature, to continue until the shipping had been put into a situation, in some degree, to cope with British cruizers. A communication from Washington, December 31 states, that the Prophet had been reinforced by 2000 men and that the Indian war would be prosecuted by General Harrison. It is added, that the Indians are supplied with British arms and ammunition. A letter has been received in town from an officer who remained in the forti es of Ciudad llodrigothe whole of that night on which it was stormed. He had various opportu liities of conversing with the French prisoners, who averred that the intrepidity of the allies surpassed all they had ever seen in military performances. In half an hour after the fortress was carried, Lord Wellington and Marshal Beres- ford were within the walls, forwarding the new arrangements of the place. Gen. Hill was said to have actually crossed the Tagus, in his approach to Lord Wellington ; whose in teution, it was suppposed, was to advance. Marmont was at Salamanca on the 2lst with the forces he had hastily col, lected together, and three days afterwards could have been tip with the British army. Whether he may deem such a measure expedient, after learning the fate of Ciudad Itodrigo, is uncertain. On Monday night the thanks of bolll Houses of Parlia- • meat were unanimously voted to Lord Wellington, and the army under his command, for the taking of Ciudad lto- drigo.— Mr. Perceval afterwards moved an Address to the Prince Regent, which was unanimously agreed to, request- ing him to give directions for the erection of a monument in St. Paul's Church, to the memory of Major- General llenry M'Kinnon, who fell gloriously at the siege of Ciudad Itodrigo, on the 19th of January. General M'Kinnon was a younger sell of ono of the first families in Scotland. He entered at an early age into the Coldstream Guards. His first campaign was served under the Duke of York, in Holland. During the rebellion in Ireland, he was Brigadier Major to Gen. Sir G. Nugent, where he vygs remarkable for liis courage, humanity and good conduct. 1 lie Gazette of that time particularly He served in the Expedition to Egypt;- afte noticed him. which he was in Germany, under Lord Cathcart^' as well as at the taking of Copenhagen, lie again embarked, in 1808, for the Peninsula. The General married, in 1804, the youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Colt, Bart. His wife and two infan s have to bewail the loss of a beloved husband and father. It is now ascertained by the Danish papers, that ten men of the St. George, and six belonging to the Defence, were all that were savetl out of these two ships, when unfortu- nately lost off Jutland ; 1295 officers and seamen perished. — One account says, Admiral Reynolds, despairing of relief, threw himself into the sea; another, that lie was found dead on the deck with many- others, having perished from cold ami fatigue.— Captain Atkins, and the Admiral's Secretary reached the shore alive, but expired soon after.— The parents of a child, after fastening him to a piece of timber, and seeing him safe ashore, embraced each other, and plunged into the waves. It is reported that Ministers have received information that Bonaparte intends to send the Scheldt fleet to sea, . half manned, with orders to run for America, where, if the war party succeed to the extent of their views, they are to he I'uily manned with American seamen. Much credit, however, should not be attached to the report, though it is stated, that the late impress in the city was ordered in consequence of information received by Government to the above effect.— A number of able hands have been procured on this occasion. The Prince Primate of Frankfort has issued a proclama- tion, admitting the Jews in his dominions to an equal par- ticipation of all the rights, privileges, & c. enjoyed by his other subjects. The Army Estimates for the present year laid before the House of Commons are for 370,434 men, and deducting the 28,101 for the regiments in the territories of the East India Company, there remain 342,273 to be provided for by Par- liament. The expenses for this force, and other disburse- ments of the Military Department, amount to £ 15; 893,092 Os. » d. The number of embodied militia is 93.212. The • xpeuss for the Local Militia is .£ 720,076. The 16th Report of the Commissioners of Military In- quiry has just been laid on the tableof the House of Commons. In this report the contracts for horses entered into, by the Board of Ordnance with Mr. Will. an, are reprobated as the most improvident ever heard of. Exclusive. of other trans- actions relative to these contracts, the report discloses that the Board of Ordnance in 1803 entered into a contract ( without competition) to hire horses of Mr. Wjllan, by which contract the public was soon found to be a loser of about £ 73,000 a year. To get rid of this, the Ordnance Board made a fresh bargain with Mr. Willan, which the Committee stigmatises as more improvident than the origi- nal contract; for, within two months of the time when the contract was terminable, they paid Mr. Willan thirty- five thousand pounds for the dissolution of it.— The Board afterwards purchase 3,500 horses of Mr. Willan, at £' io per horse, but, including the douceur for giving up the contract above-' rnentionetl, they cost Government £ M per horse; the Commissioners estimated them as worth no more than £ 15 per horse. So excellent were some of these horses that in the engineer department, at Dover, though Govern- ment had allowed 2lb. of hay per day extra to each horse, yet they were not able to perform half as much work as country horses, which were obliged to be hired for all great burthens. A box made within the seat of one of the Brighton coaches, with two keys, to open either at London or at Brighton, as might be required by the proprietors of the Union Bank of the latter place, and their corresponding bankers, Sir John Piiihorn and Co. in the borough of - Sotuh- wark, was broke open on Wednesday morning, and robbed of re- issuable notes to the amount of £ 3,000; the robbery is supposed to have been effected between London and Rei- gate, as a passenger, a woman of fashionable appearance, affected illness, and, with her husband, went no further than Sutton. Two male passengers likewise, on some pretence, quitted the coach at lteigate, and these four are suspected to be concerned in stealing the notes. A most extraordinary circumstance occurred in Exeter on Monday night last, which has excited considerable interest. About nine o'clock in the evening, as the carriage, of J. Williams, Esq. banker of that city, was going from Colleton Crescent to the Theatre, just as it passed the Friars, in tl| e middle of the public road, the off horse sunk into the earth, and almost in an instant disappeared; the coachman, who was mHch alarmed, and trembling for what might follow, leaped from his box, called for assistance, and immediately cut the traces, when several persons as- sembled, and discovered that the animal had faden into a tremendous old well, of about ninety feet deep, which some years since had been arched over in a most careless manner, with only a single brick, thinly covered over wftli earth, and totally neglected since it became a public road. The late wet weather has so penetrated tho brick work as to cause it, with the shaking of the carriage, to give way in moment. Having obtained a light, it was perceived the horse had stuck about twenty feet down, and with great ifficulty was drawn up alive to the mouth of the well, w hen nf irtunately the rope broke, and the poor creature was with dreadful velocity dashed down to the bottom, and was pulled up dead four hours afterwards. The instant before M Williams'horse met the accident, Colonel Burn's carriage drove over the same place, with the postillion on the horse, both of which must have perished had the ground then given in. M. Chateaubriand, in his Travels in Greece, gives the following account of the manner in which the Arabian Horses are trained to hardihood : " They are never put under shelter, but left expojed to the most intense heat of the sun, tied by all tour legs to stakes driven in the ground, so that they cannot stir. The saddle ii never taken from their backs; they frequently drink but once aud have only one feed of barley in 24 hours. This rigid treatment, so far from wearing them out, gives tiiem sobriety, patience, and speed. I have often admired an Arabian steed thus tied down to the burning sand, his hair loosely flowing, his head bowed between his legs to find a little shade; and stealing with his wild eye an oblique glance at his master. Release bis legs from the shackles, spring upon his bark, and he will paw in the valley, he will rejoice ill his strength; he will swallow the ground in the fierceness of his rage ; and you recognise the original of the picture delineated by Job. " Eighty or one hundred piasters are given for an ordinary horse, which is in general less valued than an ass or a mule ; hut a horse of a well- known Arabian breed will fetch any price. Abdallah, Pacha of Damascus, had just given 3,000 piasters for one. The history of a horse is frequently the topic of general conversation. When I was ut Jwiiialitm, the feats of one of these wonderful steeds made a great noise. The Bedouin to whom the animal, a mare, belonged, being pursued by the governor's guards, rushed with her from the top of the bills that overlooked Jericho. The mare scoured at full gallop down an almost perpendicular declivity without stumbling, and left the soldiers lost in admiration and astonish- ment. The poor creature, however, dropped down dead on entering Jericho, and the Bedouin, who would not quit her, was taken, weepiug over the body of his companion. This mare has a brother in the desert, w ho is so famous, that the Arabs always know where lie lias been, where he is. what he is doing, and how he does. Ali Aga religiously shewed me in the mountains near Jericho the footsteps of the mare that died in the attempt to save her master. A Macedonian could not have beheld those nf Bucephalus w ith greater respect." From the same author is extracted the picturesque de- scription of the " Holy City :" " The houses of Jerusalem are heavy square masses, very low, without chimnies or windows : they have flat terraces of domes on the top, and look like prisons or sepulchres. The whole would appear to the eye one uninterrupted level, did not the steeples of the churches, the minarets of the mosques, the summits of a few cypresses, and the clumps of nopals, break the uniformity of " the plan. On beholding these stone buildings, encompassed by a strong country, you are ready to enquire if they are not the coufuscd monuments of a ceinetry in the midst of a desert. " Enter the city, hut nothing will you there find t » make amends for the duluess nf its exterior. You lose yourself among narrow, unpaved streets, here going up hill, there down, from the inequality of tile ground, and you walk among clouds of dust or loose stones. Canvas stretched from house to house increases the gloom of this labyrinth ; bazars, roofed over, and fraught with infection, completely exclude the light from the desolate city. A few paltry shops expose nothing but wretcheduess to view, and even these are fre- quently shut, from the apprehension of the passage of a cadi. Not a creature is to be sceu in the streets, not a creature at the gates, except now and then a peasant gliding through the gloom, concealing under his garments the fruits of his labour, lest lie should be robbed of his hard earnings by the rapacious soldier. Aside in a corner, the Arab butcher is slaughtering some animal, suspended by the legs from a wall in ruins : from his haggard and ferocious look and his bloody hands, you would rather suppose that he had been cutting the throat of a fellow- creature than killing a lamb. The only noise heard from time fotime in this dcicide city is the galloping of the steed of the desert: it is the jaoistary who brings the head of the Bedouin, or returns from plundering the utdiappy fellah." —^ vJ/ I/ i-' s — Observations and medical opinions on the advantages of using Coffee. WHEN Coffee is sold at 2s. per lb. the division of that sum among the different parties interested, is nearly as follows:— Government, Id.;— the grower, 5dJ.— the merchant, insurer, ship- owner, dock- company, lyid other persons employed, 3di. ;— the retailer for his expenses and profits ( including loss on roasting), & c. 7dJ.; so that the person who buys a pound of Coffee, pays to the exigencies of the state, about one- sixth more than to the man whose labour and capital produce it; that man Jays out the money lie gets in maintaining his family ( who depends upon it for support), and in purchasing English manufactures and stores for the comfort of his negroes, which must of course very much depend upon the master's sale of that which is to furnish him with the means of buying them. The principal reliances of our enemy for the ruin of this country, are the exhausting our stock of gold and silver, thereby creating a necessity for an increase of our paper cur- rency, and filling our warehouses with unsaleable merchandise. WheD, therefore, we buy tea, for which we send bullion out of the country, we act according to his « ishes: when we buy coffee, we directly thwart him, by disposing of our own colo- nial produce in the purchase of our home manufactures : thus relieving two classes to u hose particular distress he loioks for the success of his schemes. That the article of coffee is most agreeable and nourishing, is in some measure shewn by its being preferred by the popu- lation of almost the whole of Europe ( who drink it even without milk or sugar) ; as well as throughout the greater part of Asia and the United States of America, where the consumption is progressively increasing. Several eminent writers on the subject of health and diet, confirm the opinion of Coffee possessing many medical virtues, and of its containing a great deal of nourishment, being very strengthening, and particularly refresh iirg after hard labour, Dr. Thomas Percival, a late very eminent and accurate physician, in his experiments ( as published), found it to '; moderate and prevent alimentary fermentation, acidity, and. putrefaction :" and in the introduction to the Loudon Practice of Physic, we find the fallowing remark : " It is a pity that coffee is not substituted for tea, since it is " much more wholesome, especially when it is boiled over " night with an equal portion of milk ; this not only renders " it palatable, but it is a very desirable breakfast. Col ee- " strengthens the stomach ; tea, on the contrary, relaxes. IN WARD'S INSOLVENCY. NOTICE is hereby given, That RICHARD INWARDS, of WIRGFIETO in the Parish of CUAI.
