JOHN BELL, TREASURES. N. B It is requested that any Person to whom the abov may be offered lor Sale, will take notice, that they are of two different Patterns, and not tullv cleared up in the white, and from the manner in which they were lifted, one selvage THANKS TO MARQUIS WELLINGTON. The Order if the Dav having been read, Earl BATHURST said, that whatever differ- ence of opinion there might be, as to the general policy and condnft of the war in Spain, as far as Ministers had concern with it, he was sure there could be none with regird to the transcendant skill and braverv displayed by our Army and its gal- lant Commander, and especially as shewn in so eminently consoicootis a light by the ever- memo- rable Battle of Salamanca. In moving the V^ te of Thanks with which he was to conclude, he might be allowed to take a view of what preceded that glorious aff. iir. When Lord Wellington went down to Badajoz, he had an ulterior obj.' ft, which was to force SoUlt to aflion, and d ive hits out of Andalusia. He conceived hi'nself perfefHy safe in so doing, after the capture of the battering train at Badajoz, which would not permit Marmont to besiege that place, or Ciudad Rodrigo, in the ab- rence of Lord Wellington. Notwithstanding the speedy fall of Ba lajoa:, even sooner than he ex- pefled, Lord Wellington heard, but not with sur- prize, that Marmont had advanced against Ci'tdad Rodrigo and Almeida; but he heard at the same time that which did surorize ^ im—' hat three weeks had elapsed, and neither or thojj.- fortresses had been suIKcieuvly supplied, t. r provided for de- fence. He was, therefore, .( ifcHged trt advance against Marmonr, who retired before him; and when he had sufficiently provided for the defence of those places, he found it advisable to follow Marmont still farther. These were the reasons which determined Lord Wellington to relinquish his great objefls— the relief of Cadiz, and > f the whole kingdom of Andalusia, from the French yoke. And these were objefls of great imoort- ance, inasmuch as the possession which the French had of Andalusia was different from that which they had in any other part of Spain. For instance, they were in possession of all the farms and vil. lages in Castile, but as to those which were six or seven miles distant from each other, they were obliged to establish redoubts between them to se- cure their possession. Of Andalusia, except Cadiz, • hey had complete and unc mtrouled possession. The accomplishment of its relief, or the defeat of Marmont, he would say, were Lord Wellington's two great objects, and he decided on the latter. It was, however first necessary, before he ad- vanced, to force the bridge of Almarez, and take or destroy the enemy's magazines there ; and he ( Lord B.) need not describe the gallant manner in which that was done. On the 13th of June Lord Wellington crossed the Agueda, and on the 18th he entered Salamanca. There were in all the operations, from that time till the glorious battle of Salamanca, no movements cf the enemy that Lord Wellington did not foresee and pre- vent ; nor one expectation of theirs that he did not frustrate. So perfectly did he comprehend all their plans, that one of them, in an intercepted Letter, says, " That he," ( Lord W ) << must have read our correspondence, or dived into oar hearts."—( hear, hear.)— It was the wish of Mar- mont either to drive Lord W. back, or to bring him to action ; but he was frustrated in both On one occasion, after he had ordered Sir T. Graham to take a strorg position, in face of both Armies, which he did with his characteristic promptitude and gallantry, he ( Lord W.) saw that he hjd an opportunity of achieving a brilli- ant victory. But he s< i. w that it would be attend- ed with much loss on his ows. i side, and without materially altering the enemy's position. He, therefore, gave up the delight of triumph, so dear to a soldier, rather han receive it at' the expence of the lives of his gallant men His Lordship then detailed with great accuracy the whole of the movements of the armies between the Douro and the Tormes, both before and during the bat- tle. So admir ible was hit judgment in profit- ing by the weakened extension of the enemy's left, in order to cut him from the road to Ciudad Rodrigo, that his army, which was disposed for retreat, was in a moment prepared for battle — In the attack of the cavalry, » ho carried every thing before them, Major- General Le Merchant was killed, a highly meritorious officer, who has left a numerous family, anxiously looking up for the support of a generous nation. He ( Earl Ba- thurst) would leave it to others more able than I himself to descant on the extreme foiecast, skill, V, . - •-- - r r 1 1 „ r , v Tb° se virtues, so eminent in him, were not alorie to be discovered in him during the battle of Sala- manca, but were s* en conspicuously in all his ac- tions, which wer « began a- id ofrfeled with th? eye nd hand of a mister. H s Lordship then concluded by moving the Thanks of the House to Lieur.- Gen. the Marquis of Wellington, and to the Officers and m" n under his command, fir their consummate skill and bravery, displayed in the glorious victory over the French army, command, ed by Marshal Marm lnt, near Stlam inca. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that no one could more com letelv agree with the morin of the N ble Earl than he did. Nor could anv- one heir with more dflight than he, the eloquen' praise which he was assured had just come from fh" heart of the Noble Earl. Even if they were ( as he Lord L. was afraid they must) to designaf » this as a campaign of virions fortune, yet hid it shewn in their General such qualities as are given to no man besides.— Of all the nroofs which h had given of extraordinary judgment, the greatest in his mind, was, his retiring before a more power- ful adversary, preserving his supplies, his comm u tiications, and his troops, fresh for attack and vir. torv when the moment arrived. Such wa? his re- treat to the lines of Tormes Vedras; and such, ' ha" which led to the glorious vi.' lory of Salrm inca. Such, also, was that retreat, which had once more unfortunately thrown him back on the frontiers o » " Portugal, hut which, he agreed with the Nob'e Earl, displayed in no ordinary degree his exqui- site talents and judgment.— Another circumstance he would advert to— there was no man but wha' would see that a military school had been formed by the Noble Marquis, from which the Coun'ry would derive the greatest benefit, in the rnilitarv career which he was afraid she had yet to run. It was true that this could not be gained but with great loss of brave men— such as Major Cocks, who, had he lived, would have added military srlory to the fame of the illustrious Home of Somers. No one, that had heard him, could sup- pose that he would find fault with the elevation of our great Commander in the Peerage ; but he thought there was a mode in his own profession which would have been more acceptable to him, and to the gallant officers serving under him. It wotil- 1 have also been particularly wise, when we were oersua ling Spain to cast off some of her pre. judices, to have shewn her that we ourselves had none of t similar description. Lord SOMERS said, th he sincerely suoport- ed the motion of th= t Nobie Earl, which he had submitted to the House wi h so much eloquence and feeling He ought also to add hii o vn pat. ticular thanks to the Noble and gallant Marquis, who, while one would think his great mind ^ vas solely employed in the vast schemes of its own formation, was occupied in the paternal relief of all under his command. After the battle of Ta- lavera, a dear relative of his was so worn ortt bv fatigue, that, Out for the aflFeftion « fe relief of his great Commander, he must h » ve sunk under it, • and fallen an eat ly sacrifice for b> King and coun- try.— He alluded to his son, who ? av . : ns blood at B ir? os, for the sake of his co': r> ti » y.— flea.', hear!)— HJ thanked the N ' We Mr ' uia fir the ki-. d . ia ner in which he had m n'ioned that dear f relative, and might be allowed to say himself wi'h truth, that he believed he deserved all that had j be-' Fi said of him The Duke of CLARENCE c ngratulated the ! House and the countiy, that, while there * yas a \ cessation of the brilliant successes wh; ch ha I been I gained at , ca, our forces by land had sustained | th glorr f the nation. The irquis of WELLESLEY said, it was not necessary for him to apologize for his feelings on this occasion, as he w^. s satisfied that all felt nearly as he did. B ' t who could hear unmoved the vnerable father ( Lord Somers), whose noble and patriotic fee'ings coul t, in so ' chastened a manner, lament tbe gallant Officer, vei glory ( hit he fell in such 1 cause— for liberty and his conn1 ry ? —( Hear, hear ! ) The motion vas then put and carried nem. diss. In answer to a question bv the Duke NOR- FOLK, Lord LIVERPOOL said, it was not intended to move Thanks for the surrender of Detroit, in America ; but to address tne Regent for t monu- ment to the memory of { he gallant Officer who commanded ; but who had since unfortunately fallen— Adjourned.

The Answer was then read from the Chair, and was couched in the usual terms. VOTE OP THANKS TO LORD WELLING I ON. Lord CASTLE RE AGH rose, pursuant to notice, to call on Par ia. nent to vote its Thanks to Lord Wellington for his brilliant services in the Peninsula during the present campaign, and particularly during his conduct at the glorious battle of Salamanca j and in bringing this sub- ject before the Honse, it should be his study c iu tiously to avoid introducing any topics which might lead to controversy—( Hear, hear.)— He should forbear even to mention Ministers, as a period would arrive when their conduct, as relat- ed to the affairs of the Peninsula, might be fully discussed. Tne conduct of the Noble M irquis, th.; suoject of the present motion, could produce bu one sentiment— th it of gratitude and admir- ation—( Hear, hew.)— The Noble Lord then took a review of the situation ot Spain at the com mencement ot the present campaign, and the suc- cesses which had attended Lord Wellington in the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo ar. d Badajoz j the litter of which, according to the confession of o « ult, as contained in his intercepted letters, was captured in the face of two aim. es— Souk's and Marmonts's— each of them equal in fo- oe to th it commanded by Lord Wellington— ( Hear, hear.) After having accomplished these two great ob- jects, which, to a less able Comm in ler, won't have occupied a whole campaign, Lord Welling- ton then had to turn his attention towirds repell- ing the French armies. He certainly was not sanguine enough to flatter himself, that with the force he possessed, respectable as it was, he should be able to drive the - French out of Spain ; yet he flattered himself, and he h id proved, that he was ible to prevent the French from taking a military possession of it: and that alone could give . hem oossession of the country. This military posses- sion could never be obtained whilst the French were obliged, by the operation of their ornonent, to concentrate their forces. This Lord Welling- ton hal fores'en, and h'w object bad been to Iraw tk^ rn so together for the defence of to2 French magazines at Sevi'le, and to destroy them, or to oblige the French to raise the siege of Cidiz— both ® f which objects he had accomplished.— CHear hear.)— The Noble Lord then proceeded to take a review of the situation of Lord Wei- llotrton's armv, and the French army previous to the battle of Silamanca, and observed, that it had always bpen the policy, and the wise policy, of Lord Wellington, not to risk a gen- ral b ittle.—. The French certainly alwiys sought it, as they ha 1 every thin? to hope f- o- n it ; for should they have defeated Lord Wellington, the fate of the Peninsula would have been decided. Thus it was that Lord Wellington had even submitted to do th it which, to a mind like his, must be most mortifying, name'y, to retreat- before an enemy ; and he did so till he had out- mance tvred the enemv ; and the moment he perceived that hi hid done that, that moment he seized his advan- tage, and put uoWirdsof 20,000 of the enemy hors- de- combat; and if he had not done more, it • vat because night intervene.!. « nJ prevented his farther pursuing his advanta:.'. Bet what had been the result—' he raising the biege of Ca liz, • vhich was of itself sufficient, since it had always been the command of B ) r, aparte to " persevere in the sie^ e of Cadiz, whatever you do—| o not fight even for M idrid, but fight for Cadiz." The sitfge of Cadiz bad been raised, and the " uc-. ny ha. i con- centrated his whole force, am- mnting to 90,000 men. Before this force L > rd W. had been oblig- ed to retreat; be h; id been obliged to do so n our- susuceof his previous! y formed plan; and in pursu. ance of that p'an, he had repeated o the frontiers of Portugal. When Lord Wellington march d to Madrid, it w-: s not for ' he "' ain- glorinus purpose of occupying the capital for a few days. Ni; it was done with a view of forcing Soult from Cadiz — that had succeede— The French had since taken possession of M drid, but they also had since been nnder ibte necessity of abandoning it, and were now M- army occupying no greater p -, r- tion" of territory than the ground on which tbny stood—( Hear, hear!)— and how, he would ask, con! I a French army be occupied so Utile to the interests, or 10 much to the injury, of Fririce. as ' n s'jc i a • Luation ?—/ Cr'u! of Hear, hear !) this had b- en the result of the b itde if S il imanca • So- it , vas not to Soain only that rs advan age^ h been confined— it was not '. he spirit of Spain only that had be- n raised by Lord Wellington's successes— its effefls had also been felt in llusvU >'• animating influence had operated a' the battle Borodino; by reft'ling on what had b" en loi » •> y Englishmen at Silamanca, the Russians had b • n ni mated to a glorious resistance at Moscow —( Hear, heir!)— and nor only by his military ex. ample, bur by his Councils alio, had h-> aide! the Russian .. It had been cooamuriicated to the E n- oeror of Russia from Lord Wellington, rhat if die same precaution iry system were ad opted by hi'a is had been in Spiin, hs also woa'd oe successful — such ivstem ha l been aiipted, anH had Seen successful. Thus the fivotirable aspe1} of affairs, not onlv in the Peninsnla, bur in Russia and in the whole of Eurooe, was owing t > the efforts of Lord Wellington.—( Heor, hear / ' — [' be Noble Lord then proceeded to tak^ a review of the Soa. nish nation altogether., and defended hem with considerable animation j contending, that if their situation were looked to, the wonder would n > t be that they had done so little, but that they had done so much. He again contended, that Lord W I- h'ngton had accomplished all the objects of the campaign ; and that the British name never s- ood more pr u-!! y in Spain than it did at the present moment.— The Noble Lord concluded amidst loud acclamations from every Dart of the House, by moving, " the Thanks of the H iuse to the • nost Noble the Marquis of Wellington, for hit great and many services done to his Mijesty ind his Allies, during the last campaign, and particularly in the glorious battle of Sa amanci, by which the » iege of Cadiz was raised, the Fre.. ch force diminished, and the southern provinces re « . cued from the enemy." Sir F. BITRDETP declared, he was not equal to the task of decid'ng on the mili'ary merits of ' he campaign, but the Noble Lord had aopeared to him to go into such a number f topics, no ways connr& ed with the question before th House, and to have called on them to pledge themselves to support all the measures which had been a^ lop - ed by Ministers—( Here there was a genera', cry of No, no!) and L > ro C ASTLEREAGH rose, and disclaimed having done so Sir F.

The Hon. Baronet then adverted to the failure of Lord Wellington before Burgos ; but observed, he would not now enter at length into the subject. He had principally men to sav, that he could not accede to tbpse dreams of glory, in which ' he Ministers had indulged for 19 years, and with which, during that period, thev h- id endeavoured to derive the people. • Sir F.

Such were the sentiments of a great and - lo^- at county, 11,000 of the Electors of which had done him the honour to send him to the House to express those sentiments. The aitestion wan thpn put, when Mr OOMPTONT rose, nor, he said, to oppose the V te, but to declare his opinion, that some effi- cient pecuniary provision ought to have been pro- posed fo- the Noble Marquis, and that Ministers should have recommended such n measure to the Regent. Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that he tright probably, at an early day, be charged with a emmnnication to ' he House on the snhjeft.

RUSSIAN BULLETINS. BONAPARTE'S FRUITLESS ATTEMPT TO ES- CAPE WITH A PART OF HIS ARMY. It is with the greatest satisfaction we lay before our readers the following intelligence :— ADMIRALTY- OPFICK, NEC. 4. Re- ir- Admiral Hone has transmitted to Mr Croker the following translation of two Russian bulletins, dated St. Petersburgh, 9th and 11th Nov. together with an extract of a letter received at Gottenbuigh, from Count Rosen, Governor of that place, dated Stockholm, Nov. 19. The Rear Admiral had not received any accounts officially. Admiral Hope also acquaints Mr Croker, under date of 24th November, that the whole Russian fleet, of about 20 sail of tfie line, had passed the Belt in safety, and Captain Drury, the beeier of the dispatches, reports that they were standing into Hawke Roads when he sailed. " ST, PjstEitsHUHGH, Nov. 9.— Gen. Wittgen- stein reports to his Majesty, October Slst:—" After our entrance into Polotsk, the enemy has suffered much by the fortunate operations of Count Steinheil's corps. ' The loss of the enemy at the battle of Polotsk, and during their retreat to Lepei, amounts in prison- ers, to 100 staff officers, ( among whom are fire Co- lonels] and 6000 privates ; m'ne pieces of cannon, the baggage belonging to the Bavarian regiments— 90 powder waggons, and a great number of gun carriag- es, the guns being thrown into the river by the ene- my. Their loss it killed must be immense, as not only the field of battle, but the whole road is covered with tjpad bodies, so that thb corp? of the enemy is entirely destroyed , besides, this had forced Victor with his corps to separate from the graed army. They have left Smolensk by orr. d marches, and joined the weak remains of St. Cy: '"> army, which if commaiiM ed by General Le Grand ; St. Cyr bavin Wilna on account of his wounds. 6th, but- on the 7th winter began. The ground is covered with snow. The roads have b- epme very slippery, and very difficult for, carriage horses. We have lost many men by cold and fatigue-* night bi- vouackinrrs are very injurious to them. Since the battle of Maloinroslavitz, the advanced guard has seen no other enemy than the Cossacks, who like the Arnhs, lioverupon the flanks, and fly about to annoy. On the 2d, at two In the afterno on, 12,000 Russian infantry, coverejJ . by a cloud of Cossacks, intercepted the communication a league's distance from Viasma, between the Prince of Eckmuhl . and the Viceroy.— The Prince of Eckmuhl and the Viceroy marched upon- this column, drove it from the road, and over- threw it in the wood, took. a Major- General, with . a good number of prisoners, and carried off six pieces of cannon : since that time we have not again seen the Russian infantry, but only Cossacks. Since the bad weather, from the 6th, we had lost more than 3000 carriage horses, and nearly 100 of our caissons have been destroyed. Gen. Wittgen- stein having been reinforced bv the Russian divisions from Finland, and by a great number of troops from the militia, attacked, on 18th Oct. Marshal G. Sr. Cvr; he was repulsed" by that Marshal, and Gen. Wrede, who took more than 3000 prisoners, and covered, the field of battle with his dead. ' On 20th ult. Marshal St. Cyr having been informed that the Duke of Belluno, with the Dth corps, was marching to reinforce him, repassed the Dwina and marched to meet him, in order, on having effected a junction with him, to fight Wittgenstein, and oblige him to repass the Dwina. The Swiss division distinguished itself by its san? frohl: and brave; y. Col. Guekene'ue, of 26th light infantry, was woun. led. Maishal St. Cyr re- ceived a ball in the foot.

Mr. VANSITTART f it much surprise, that after the House had gone up to the Throne with an Address, promising to support his Majesty, and to grant t'- e nccessary supplies, that any Gentle- man shopld come forward with a proposition deny, ing all- the supplies, and leaving the country at the mercy of the enemy.

VANSITTART said, he could positively deny that Government did adopt any such prac- tice ; on the contrary, he had yesterday a large sum of money offered him, and declined taking it. j Lord MILTON said, he could not agree to this motion, because it would, as he understood, pre- vent any supply being granted. / Mr, WHITBREAD said, from what had been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Van- sittart) it did appear that the House might be put in possession, from the best authority, of the rela- tive value of guineas and Bank paper, since it ap- peared ' miie guineas had been offered to him for sale. The person who offered them, however, must have been a clumsy fellow to . suppose that biz- Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer would , c guilty of a breach of the law, which would r - .':- him liable to twelve months mpii r- nni'erit,' or, perhaps to transportation for seven years.— ( A iauyh.) Mr. VANSITTART replied, the money had jheen offered him, not by the real proprietor, but through the medium of a friend—( a laugh)— the turn was 27,000 guineas, and the price 25s- each. The House then went into* a Committee, Mr. Creevey's motion being negatived without a divi- sion. A Resolution for granting a Supply to his Majesty was agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received to- morrow. DISTILLATION FROM ORAI! » . The House went into a Committee on the Eng- lish and Irish Grain Distillery Prohibition Bills. Mr. VANSITTART rose to propose an exten- sion of these Arts, and also to extend the prohibi- tion for matcing starch from uhe? t. and also to fjter. d the provisions of - he Bill), allowing a pro- ponTSrr of sugar to be used if Breweries. After a few words from Mr. PRESTON, the se- veral Resolutions were adopted, the House resum- ed, and leave given to bring in a Bill to amend and continue the Ail prohibiting Distillation from Grain for a limited period. TELLERS OF THE EXCHEQUER. The Hon. Mr. BENNET wished to kaow, if the report of two of the Tellers of the Exchequer having relinquished a third of their emoluments, was correft. Mt. V ANSITTA RT replied, that a letter from the two Noble Marquisses had been laid before his Royal Highness, containing the patriotic offer, on their pans., of relinquishing a third part of their emoluments during the continuance of the war, tewaids defraying the exigencies of the State. I'.— After Moscow • ider Gen. Wiozin- gerode's command, Napoleon moved his army on the road to Kflouga, against Borowsk, thinking, as is proved by letters found on - - ourier taken prisoner, to force himself hito the most fruitful provinces. Gen. Eutourow counteracted this plan, by a serious attack, which took'place on 2- kh Oct. at Maloyaroskavitz ; this lttflc town was taken and re- taken eight different times ) at last the Fi* uch were obliged to retreat with the loss of 16 pieces of cannon. Napoleon then gave up his plan, left the army, and took the road to Smo- fen?*, after he had giver orders for the whole army to follow in same road. Tc cooceal as much as pos- sible-' his bis retreat, he ordered one corps, to march » o Medyre, as if he had intended to march round the Russian left v. ing > r uling this time the guards, with the ' grs.' tesA part of the army, marched for Mojaisk. " Al soon as Gen. Kutousoff was apprised of this, f he broke up with his army, and followed the enemy, j. The Russian advanced guard, under Platow, over- took the French army on 1st Nov. near Kolotsk, not far from Borodino, and took from them two co- > f cannon,— ; ow, attacked seve- ral French corps near Viasma, commanded by the Vice- King of. It. dy, Davoust, and Ney ; these corps were defeated, and lost one colour, five cannon, and 2000 prisoners, amongst whom is Gen. Pettien.— The whole road to Mojaisk is covered with ammu- nition waggons ai d dead horses. The Flench army retreats daily upwards of 50 wrests. « Admi al Tiche^ chakoff's advanced guard, under Gen. Tschaplitz, entered Slouim on 21st Oct. and took General Kanopa, with the whole of the three Uhlan regiments of guards prisoners. Col. Tcher- niskoff, with a detached corps, has dvanced near Warsaw. A corps belonging to Gen. Witgensttin's army has entered Wkepsk." Extract of a Letterfrom Count Rosen, dated Smo- lensk, 19th Nov. 1812. " Two Messengers arrived to- night from Russia. Wittgenstein has totally destroyed Victor and St. Cyr's armies, and is snw near Smolensk. When Bonaparte left Moscow, he oidered Murat to attack Gen. Beanir. gsen, but he was driven back. Bona- parte then attacked Kutdusoff in person, with grear desperation, near Maloyarokenvet?, and was again repulsed. He then intended to fight a general bat- tlef jind. if he was conqueror, to match by way of Kaluga to Poiand, and there remcin in winter quar- ters, but he found the Russians so fortified that it was impossible; he had, therefore, nothing left but to con- centrate his whole force, and return by way of Smo- lensk, which is entirely laid waste; the bad roads, and the- dreadful wants jibe French are in, gave Ku- tusoff time to come up with them near Viasma, when he defeated them. Ik- fore the battle Bonaparte gave the command to Murat, and went himself with 6000 men to Smolensk, on his way home, but he was met by Gen. Oertel's detachment, whio obliged him to return ; he then tried to retreat by the road which goei from Smolensk towards the sea ; there he was j met by Wittgenstein's advanced guard, was beaten, and obliged to fall back on the grand army. " He has r. ow in front of him Tormazow's, Tchit- chakoff's, and Wittgenstein's armies, and in l is sear Prince Kutusoff with 1,30,000 men. The Russians take daily S or 4,( XX) prisoners ; Wittgenstein made in one day 6,000, and took 23 pieces of cannon ; Platow 30 pieces of cannon and 3,700 prisoners. Having thus been gratified with the Russian accounts, we subjoin, from the Moniteur of the 29- h ult. which we received this morning, the TWENTY- EIGHTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY. " SMOLENSK, NOV.

It is with the greatest pleasure, we this day lay before our Readers, much important and interest- ing intelligence from the theatre of war in Russia, which, reached us yester_ day with the London Pa- pen of the ith.— By these accounts, it appears that BosArARTE,. pressed on all sides by the Rus- sian armies, is obliged to fight at eve- ry step he retreats. Several battles have taken place in the neighbourhood of Smolensko, in all of which the French have experienced immense loss. To the annoyance occasioned by the exertions of a reso- lute and determined foe, the French army ha ye to add the distresses consequent upon most incle- ment weather, i » a « i roads, tcc. by which they were daily perishitg in great numbers from ex- cessive fatigue.

By the Dublin Mail we are also enabled to add the fotl- n* ing ir. ost interesting incellig- nee, from our illustrious countryman, Lord WELLINGTON, which we hope to be able shortly to confirm : REPORT OF A VICTORY OVER THE FRENCH IN THE PENINSULA. The following is a letter from an Officer on board the Beagle sloop of war, arrived at Spit- head on Friday last, from the North coast o^ Spain;— " SPJTHEAD, DEC. 4.— We have just returned from St. Andero, and are the bearers of news from Lord Wellington. We sailed early Saturday morning ; I was on shore Friday night, when a messenger arrived from a person who is in the habit of sending Sir Home Popham all the news relating to the armies, which confirms a report that was prevalent the day before, that an action had taken place, and the French had been de. feated with a loss of at least 7000 men j that fur- ther particulars would be sent as soon as ascer. tained." The following letter from a confidential person was received t St. Andero, on the night of Fri- day, the 27th, and was forwarded, we v. ujiK£? tand, to a Noble Lord in England. It is dated From Anguela del Campa, Nov. 25 :— " The Fremth " i* Piedra hr> ve been reinforced by 300 men froni Burgos, and all the Alcades of that district put under arrest, until they pay the last contribution " The towns of Basconcellas and Panezares have, been btjrnt by the French, because the in- habitants left ( hen,.

I then wished to reconnoitre the position which the English army had chosen, and, in conse quence, on the morning of the 20rh, I ordered Gen. Maucune, commanding the advanced guard of the army, to march with the 5rh and 8th divisions, and part of the light cavalry, to Quintanapalla, and drive the enemy from it, which was immediately successfully exe- cuted. .

Th ® prosperity of Belfast enables it to support both; and also to attend to its i' » wn interest, by fostering the Dispensary and Fever Hospital The increased, and increasing population of the town, with its increased opulence, are the very cause* of the rising demands on its bounty j end give it not only the means, but imperiously call upon it to devote a very liberal proportion of those, means to such noble purposes Its charity is greaf, and administered with scrupulous exa£ U ness, integrity, and economy; but the present g neration will permit me to say, that the Public Subscriptions are not greater, nor perhaps as great now, as they were thirty years ago : on a fair comparison of the number then, and the num- ber now capable of contributing, and of the wealth then, and the wealth now of » he Inhabitants at large, at one means, af adding, at least, an hundred per annum It is recom- mended to our worthy Townsmen to glance their eye over the Police Tax, comparing the Sums which are given hy each of them to voluntary charity, with those which they are taxed ( according to ability) by the oaths ol the Police Committee. Were this dene, a blush would colour many ± cheek; and the result would be ( with several), that they would no longer suffer such di- proportionate sums to appear annexed to their names in the public printed lists. The objeift of these remarks Is to solicit public attention to the actual state of an invaluable plan of Charity ; and th » fails stated are sufficiently striking to induce inquiry.

TO THE COMPILERS OF THE BELFAST MAGAZINE. SIRS. r. pKE note contained in the 486' h page of your last Num- 1 ber relative to a letter which appe red in the Belfast Comme. cial Chrcnicle of the 9th November last calls for some animadversion. You say, ti e writer of that letter " abused you for some remarks which he supposed bore hard upon C'rtain high profusions of religion " It is not so. The writer of that article poured upon you a justly- deserved cen- sure for a ptlpable violation of < s Ciriitiai precept, which says, " fudge not, that ye le > wt joigU And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy bri ber's - ye, but observest not the beam that is in thine own eye >" Ar. d it i « remarkable that the terms used by our Lord bimself in reproving the breach of this divine pr cept, were these adopted in censuring your violation thereof. Thou hypocrite," faith he, " first cast out the Warn out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck the mote out of ttiy brother's eye." ( Matth. viii. 1— 5.) What, therefore, you <> bmt, is in faft a scrip- tural and well- founded censure; and if it was a little sharp, that quality was not infused by irritation, but arose from a conviction that your disease being desperate, required a caus- tic application. For, I would ask, who constituted you the public censors of religious doflrines ? And by what autho- rity do you pass a public sentence of condemnation upon the religious principles of a body of Christians, who are eminently conspicuous for their genuine piety and universal charity? Your quotation from Lord Lvttleton is peculiarly unfor- tunate, and misapplied. We are not " angry with you ior not being Christians;" for this, we leave you to the Judge of all men 1 But we reprove in you a flagrant breach of a Christian precept, viz. in judging and condemning us unheard. And in proof of the justness of this reptoof, we challenge any one of you . either to define the true principles of Me. thodiltr, which you have so liberally calumniated; or to addnce a single instance wher. in they deviate from the do& riucs delivered by the Son of God and his Apostles. As a reply to that libel is now in the press, in a respectable periodical publication, 1 shall only add on th. » occasion, that I am will- ing to leave your conduit to the decision of that sentimeBt you have quoted and adopted, viz. I . ord L) ttleton's. " This judicious rentark ( say you) applies equally to those - who con- demn each other for a difference ill their common profession of Christianity " The very thing which ( if you are Christians . . at all) you have been guilty of towards j > H » > t, Dec, 6,181V.

The whole distance from the place whence we started to our landing on the other side, including the length we were car- ried by the current, was computed by those on board the frigate at upwards of four English miles ; though the aflual breadth is barely one. The rapidity of the current is such that no boat can row direfHy across, and it may in some measure be estimated from the circumstance of the whole distance being accomplished by one of the parties in an hour and five, and by the other, in an hour and ten minutes.— The water was extremely cold from the melting of the mount. iin- snows. About three weeks before, in April, we had made an attempt, but having ridden all the way from the Trend the same morning, and the water being of an icy chillness, we found it necessary to postpone the completion till the frigate anchored below the castles, when we swam the straits, as above stated; entering . icr. siderable way above the European ard landing below the Asiatic fert.— Chevalie. says that a young Jew swam the same distance for his mistress; and Oliver mentions itc haying been done by a Neapolitan ; bur our consul, Tarragona, reniembertc* neither flf these circumstances, and tried to dissuade j » froii the attempt. A number of the Salset'e's crew were known to have accomplished a great*, distance, and the only t^ i'ig that surprised me was, that, as doubts had been entertained of the truth of I. eander's s'ory, n:> traveller had ever en- deavoured to ascertain its practicability. f This promising young Officer, a native of Lisb'irn, was killed in April last, by a tall from the battlements of Malta. He had attained the rank of Captain of Marines. COMMERCIAL REPORT. \ From the Pe'fait Mtnthly Maga :,' « .] To the innumerable ills already inflicted on the community by war, we have uow to add the fcrgli prices of the necessaries of life, more especi- ally of those most in use by the poorer classes Last year these distresses were borne more pa tiently, from the consideration, that the harvest of 1811 nad been to a considerable degree de- ficient. Another harvest, avowedly more abund- ant, has intervened, as to wheat and oats pro- ducing more than an average crop, and as to po- tatoes, being nearly, if not altogether, a general average crop ; and yet prices keep up, and are at present higher than they were ever known to be at this season of the year. A fall has taken place in England, and as the rise first took place there, our markets may be expected to follow in the fall. Yet a reduction in prices may be looked far only to be temporary, while the grain is has- tened forward to market to answer the payment of the rents at this season of the year. The sup- plies for the army in the penip. sula, and since the • war with America prevents the accustomed sup- plies, the demands from the West Indies, added to the deficiency in the harvest, in all the late dis- tricts in England, Ireland, and Scotland, will be likely to enhance prices, as the spring advances. The two former causes, the only ones sufficiently operative to keep prices very high, are fairly at- tributable to the war. George Canning, in his election- speeches at Liverpool, flippantly declaim- ed against the fact, that the war was the cause of scarcity, or dearth of previsions. Present cir- cumstances invalidate his assertions, and demon- strate the fallacy of his harangues. To the war we must attribute the foreign demand, as well from the circumstances that war produces a great waste of the articles of human sustainance, as that it shuts us out from the markets of Poland and America, whence supplier were formerly drawn. The depreciation of paper money is also caused by the war, and this circumstance in seve- ral respects tends most materially to keep up high prices, by making money of less value, and inun- dating the country with more of a debased cir- culating medium, than can be absorbed in the usual channels of trade, and thus leaves a redun- dancy which keeps up prices. Among other occurrences, an affefling repre- sentation is published of the distress in many of the manufafluring distrifls in England, from the correspondence with the Association in Lon- don for the relief of the poor— When so deplor- able was their state last summer, the distresses may now be expefled to be greatly aggravated by the present high rates of provisions, and by trade growing worse, from the effefls of the American war. A second year of dearth is always m re severe , on the poor, as their resources have been previously exhausted, and they ate left to struggle with increasing difficulties, with diminished means. War must be considered as the cause of all these evils, and to Peace we can < nly look for a removal of them. The people will continne to be dis- tressed in various ways, and their sufferings to in- crease, until they are so wise as to raise a geneial d; nnnd in favour of peace, u | « pie submit to that which they are taught ' o con- ! sider an unavoidable n » cessUv. But peace could be obtained, if our rulers were heartily disposed to seek it, or if the people were wise enough unani- mously to demand it. Probabiy the conditions might be bard, '- lit one consideration should re- concile 11s to seek an immediate peace : Such has been the uniform result of the war, from its com- mencement in 1793 to the present day, that every year the conditions, on which peace could have been obtained, have, by the events of the war, been rendered more difficult than in the preceding one. S milar results maybe expefted during the suc- cessive years, through which the war may be pro- trafled. To adversa'ies sufficiently numerous, impolicy- has now added the Americans. Much infatuation and delusion on this, as well as almost every © ' her subi"^ of the war, has prevailed, and to keep up hopos on this side of the Atlantic, pains have been taken to represent the war as unpopular in Ame- rica. This view will probably in the end be found fallacious, as most of the other delusions, contriv- ed to make war popular. The linen trade discovers no symptoms^ of amendment. There is very little demand Tor white linens, and the brown, though above the rate that will bring profit to the bleacher, are very low, when contrasted with the present very high price of flax, and the necessities of the wea- ver and spinner, from the high prices of provi- sions. In districts into which the cotton trade has been introduced, those employed in it fare better ; but in places where the linen remains the sole manufacture, the distress is very great. A considerable portion of the southern part of the County of Armagh is in this state. We have heard of great distress in the neighbourhood of Keady. It is singular that from the disrepute in which Irish linens are held in many places abroad, that much of those sent to the West Indies are made up as foreign, and go under the name of Est- ipil- las, and other foreign denominations. The Scotch first made them up in this manner, and many 1 are now sent from Belfast in this shape. It is a subject of serious regret, that cause should have been given for Irish linens to be in disrepute, un- der their own name.

Exchange on Lon- don is about 6% per cent, in Belfast and Dublin. The National Bank of Ireland have, it is saic', set themselves against speculators, by refusing, in all cases in which they can trace them, to discount bills given for mcchaudize, which have merely been changed from the possession c{ one import- ing merchant to another. This regulation, al- though it may be complained of by interest'd per- sons, will tend to put a salutary check on too ex- tended issues of paper, and damp that rage for speculation, which gives a false appearance of business, and enhances the prices unnecessarily on the consumers of the article. To show the extent of the evil attempted to be correfied, it may be useful to state, that in the year 1808, or 1S09, ihe memorable era of rash speculation, one parcel of cotton was resold six or seven times, without leav- ing the warehouse of the original owner, and in this course of traffic, had passed and re- passed two or three times through the hands of first sel- lers. For all these several transaflions, different sets of bills were in circulation. It is certainly right to attempt to stop such praflices, and it is laudable in the Bank, by all proper means, to limit the mass of circulating paper, for the excess of it produces many of cur present commercial diffi- culties, and raises the prices of the necessaries of life. MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. [ Frem tie London Monti / y Tifagaxine.'] The Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, feel- ing an anxious wish to promote the welfare of the colony by every means in his power, and viewing the extension of the Wine Trade, as offering such permanent advantages to its inhabitants, has pub- lished the following advertisement, to call upon the wine growers, as well as the merchant expor- ter, to lend him their assistance towards the im- provement of so valuable a branch of commerce at the Cape. 1. The vines in this colony are too thickly planted : In the future formation of vine- y^ rds, it is recommended, that the vines shall be planted four feet deep, and in rows, at a distance of six feet from each other, leaving a space of four feet between each row. As soon as they begin to bear fruit, or at the end of the third year, they should be led or trained, in the manner of Espaliers, along u rail work, formed of upright posts, of the hard wood of the country, six feet apart, and f ur feet above ground, crossed by two rows of the Bamboo, or Spanish reed, the lower one two feet from the earth. The objefl which will be attained by this simple mode, is, an increase of, and a superior quality of fruit, as well as the prevention of the baneful influence of the earth upon the grape, which cannot be too much guarded against. The farmer will also perceive, that the destruflive ten- dency of the south- east winds, is considered in li- miting the height of the frame to four feet. The expense of the railing described, will be compara- tiuely inconsiderable to the advantage derived. The Bamboo and Spanish reed will thrive in most parts of the colo « y, and the rush of the country will be found sufficiently strcr. g to bind the whole together. 2. Much of what has been recommended in the last article, will apply to the vine- yards now in bearing. The materials for the rail work may be prepared, and ready to put up in July and Au- gust next, when the general pruning of the vine- yards takes place ; and then it will be for the far- mer to seieft the strong healthy shootings for train- ing, taking care n « t to leave too many eyes to each. At this period, the earth should be well dug up about the vines, and manure applied. The _ vineyard, during the spring and summer, should To keep them quiet ! be kept free from grass aNd weeds, der - heir sufferings the general cry is, that peace •( 3. The proprietors of vineyards, now in bearing, cannot be obtained; and thus deluded, the- peo- j and who may be wise enough to lead their vines, as recommence 1„ would do well to remove every sec nd vin", which will gi- e the distance of six j feet bet We n e'ach, and a space'of thre f- e be- ; tween every row. Thfty may be - assured, the re- i maining vines will yield a more abundant crop and j fruit of a superior qnnliry. 4. From rh p- riod at which the fruit is fully formed, until it is fit for the press, it should be the constant care nf the farmer, to remove from time to time the shoots that may be thrown out, as well as such leases as mav obstruct the rays of ihe sun from fairly afling on the fruit. The full influence of the sun is essentially necessary towards bringing the bunch of graoes to nerfefl and uniform matu- rity, and, if prevented, deprives the wine of its great keeping property, and- imparts to it a rough- ness and acidity, that no ulterior treatment can entirely remove. 5. At picking time, all rotten or damaged grapes should be rejefted, and great car » taken that none is pressed befo- e they are oerfeftlv ripe. The stock of the grape should not be allowed to ferm nt with the must, but after pressing, and be- fore fermentation commences, be carefully sepa- rated with a rake. The grapes should be pressed out by men's feet. The men enter the press as soon as filled, ( the greater the quantity it contains the better,) and should be succeeded bv others until there is a strong appearance of fe mentation. The juice is then left to ferment without moles a- tion, until the skins, & c- begin to subside. It is then carefully drawn off, and transported to the merchant in Cape Town, or f* ut into vats, leaving room for further fermentation. In the latter case, too much care cannot be takpn irt cleaning and scraping out the vats for use ; washing them out with brandy is a good praftice. 6. The restriction hitherto imoosed upon the farmer of keeping his wine for six months " frer vintage, is removed, and he is permitted to send it to Cape Town as soon after it has fairly passed the first fermentation, as suits his convenience This measure will relieve the present farmers from the heavy expense of providing a large establish- ment of casks, and enable those possessing lesser means to become growers of vines. 7- The farmer is now supposed to have done his duty, and the wine in the possession of the merchant, to whom we are to look for its further improve- ment. By existing regulations, he will have the wine in his possession at least sixteen months, which will afford ample scope for the exercise of his ingenuity and talents, in classing, or ( as it is generally termed) lotting the wines as he receives them from the country, with a view of giving equa. bility of quality, and a marked charafter to the wines of this settlement, which appears never to fia\; been studied, and hss operated as one of the leading objections to their use. This part of the process is paid much attention to in the wine coun. tries of Europe, because the merchant is aware, that no two vineyards, be they ever so contiguous, will produce exaflly the same flavoured wines. 8. The vats being clean and carefully prepared for the reception of the wine, brandy, in the pro- portion of five gallons for every leager, may be put into each, observing to be particularly care- ful, that the brandy is pure and free frora any taste of smoke or defect, which it will for ever impart to the wine. The wine should be racked eff, at least, twice during the sixteen month ; in the last of these operations, a more minute class- ing may be made, and a further addition of brandy given in the proportion of 3 gallons to the loager. 9. During the several processions stated in the last article, the merchant should separate his wine into four different qualities, viz. inferior, good, better, best. If he has a general, lot of wine to ship, he takes a equal portion, J from each kind. If a lot of 2d best quality, $ best, f better, \ of good, i of inferior. For a superior lot, inferior is left out, and J good, better, and best is given. The lotting of wines, thus described, is follow, ed both in Portugal and Madeira, and gives one cause why the wines of these countries are so ac- curately characterized. Letters from Brazil announce the establish- ment of several cotton manufactures in that coun- try, and they add that they have been employed with greater success, than in North America.

REPORT OF DISEASES, In tie praSl'ce of a Phyncian, in V,• itminter ; fro n the 25tJ of Oftobtr, to the 25th of Hovemler, 1812. Tb « quant'ty of rain in the interval of this Re- -> ort, has not much exceeded two inches. Op tha 20" h we had severe frost, with an easterly wind; and frequent thick fogs and a moist atmosphere have occurred. This state of weather has been immediatelv followed by an increase of coughs and catarrhal affeffions, some of which have been very severe. One of the ci'es of. pleurisy was particu- larly distressing. Bleeding had been praftised at the commencement of the comolaint, but not to the extent which the habit of the patient, and the violence of the disorder required. The conse- quence was, that m° re temporary relief was af- ford d. and the subsequent treatment rendered more difficult and precarious. In these urgent cases i: is not enough to direfl a patient to be bled ; it is most essential to see that the full effeft is pro- duced, and repeat the operation until the inflam- mation is subdued. The deaths from small- pox, according to the bills of mortality, have lately keen upwards of fifty weekly. A child was brought to me with the u^ per part of the arm, as far as the shoulder- joint, highly inflamed, and covered with small pustules. It had been inoculated at a chemist and druggist's shop, where was written up the inviting notice, ' INOCULATION for the Smrl/. pox, GRATIS ; but, un- fortunately for the poor deluded peopie who par- take of this druggist's liberality, they find, it seems, that they have to pay for all the medicines that he may think it necessary ro give on the occasion. The case of apoplexy was fatal. The patient was seized in the evening with pain in the sto- mach, and nausea ; he made some unsuccessful efforts to vomit, complained of his head, and in a few hours became totally insensible. When I first saw him, the following evening, he was evidently sinking, and died in the course of the night. As permission to open the body was refused, the exaft nature of the complaint could not be ascertained. I have some doubt, however, of its being a case of true apoplexy, and much regret that a too nice sense of delicacy, or rather prejudice, which pre vuiis so much in this country, especially amongst the lower orders of society, and operates as a check upon our attaininga more certain and correal know, ledge of many complaints, at present very obscure and often fatal; the causes of which, dissection might develop, and thus afford a better indication of cure. As it is, we preserve the dead at- the ex- pense of the living : and, though we smile at those " who toss the cup and see The grounds of fate, in grounds of tea," we yet cherish a prejudice as absurd in an enlight- ened age, as the superstition which formerly in- duced people to believe three sins would be for- given them, if they set a cock- chafer on its feet that had happened to fall on its back.

In the course of the present month, the writer of this article had occasion to apply to an intelli- gent friend at Carmarthen, to ascertain the prices of living in South Wales, and he received the fol- lowing particulars: it appears by this statement that a good family house and garden can be had in and near Carmarthen, from £ 50 to J630 per annum, subject to from £ 15 to J610 taxes and rates; that bread is 4d. per lb.; butter, Ix. " id. per lb. of 24 ounces; cheese, 6d. per lb.; beef, 6\ d. per lb.; mutton,& d. per lb.; and fish, veget- ables, and fuel, half the London prices. The price now charged by the London refiners is, fine gold £ 5,14*. per ounce ; fine stiver 7/. 3d. per diuo. * Fixed at this maximum by the Excise law » MISCELLANEOUS. The French Minister of Commerce continues the distillation from all kinds of substances except grain— but in consequence of the fine appearance of the harvest, permission has lately been given to use one- fourth of grain. Experiment to make a Negro man White.— The attempt to wash Negroes white has been heretofore considered as a proverbial absurdity ; yet the thing is not utterly impracticable. Their dark colour proceeds from a black pigment in the rete mucosum. Oxymuriatic acid deprives it of its colour. A Negro submersed his feet for some time in water, impregnated with that acid, which rendered them nearly white. The experi- ment was also made by Dr. Beddoes successfully on the fingers ot a negro. This would, if prac- ticable on a large scale, be a valuable secret to a refugee Negro of America or Jamaica. See Thomson's Chemistry, Vol. V. Page 570. LONGEVITY— There is now living at the house of Mr. John Mathews, gardner, Armagh, a wo- man named Mary O'Brien, aged 103— Four generation of her lineal descendants reside with her. There is a probability, from her health and strength, that she may live to see her grand- daughter's grandchild, when she may be enabled to say, " Rise up daughter, go to your daughter, for your daughter's daughter has got a daugh- ter." Old Jenkins the Englishman, lived to the vast age of 169— It is a curious speculation, that if thirty- three men, were each successively to at- tain the same age of Jenkins, one coming into the world at the precise moment his immediate predecessor left it, the first of these venerable personages might have shaken hands with Adam — and the remotest of 3,5 such persons would have been coeval with the world. UTILITY OF SKILL IN ORTHOGRAPHY,— Some time ago, an inn- keeper, in a county town, wrote to his friend in Dublin, requesting him to send him two good chaises. The gentleman replied, that he found they were then dear, and that he thought one might suffide. A second letteK was received, in which it was stated, that the Assizes were at hand, that there would be a great run at his house, and that he would want two good and large chaises. According to his orders, two post- chiKes vvi . e sent. When they arrived at his door, he refused to receive them— an altercation of course took place between him and the person who brought them. Fortunately the gentleman who had purchased them had arrived in the coun- try. He immediately went and remonstrated with his friend the innkeeper, on his refusal to receive the post- chaises. Sir, said the innkeeper, I order- ed no chaises, I want them not— I requested you to send me two cheeses; and what the d- v- l have I to do with these big carriages— keep them your- self. The gentleman immediately drew the two letters out of his pocket, and put them into the hands of the innkeeper's son with a request that he would read ihe contents. Father, said the son, the word is written very plain, C, h, a, i, s, e, You must keep your carriages good father.— Two advantages were derived from this nrstake: first, the innkeeper will remember all his ii'e every let- ter in ihe word cheese— second, travelling gentle- men are now accommodated from his inn with fine roomy chaist in which they - iay loll at eare, though they should excel the mighty Lanjbeit, or the great Fergy, in znnguitude and fat. SPORTING WITH THE; FEELINGS AND APPETITE OF AN INDIGENT RELATIVE. A PARISIAN ANECD0TE. Previous to the French Revolution a. country- person had become the Intendan' of a Province, and had got a fine house at Paris— hi: circum- stance so strongly excited the emulation of one of his country cousins, that persuading himself his uncle would at least do something handsome for him, he resolved, though in the midst of winter, to pay him a visit at the capital >- To be the bet. ter received he contrived to announce his intention of coming to town. Accordingly, arriving late in the evening at the hotel of his uncle, he was admitted by the ser- vants, and informed that the Intendant could not be seen that night, being out of town ; but being told that supper was ordered for him, and that he must of necessity sup alone, instead of plenty of good bread and cheese, or bacon, which the coun- try man would have preferred to what he had, he was presented with a dish of chocolate, and a soli- tary biscuit ; and being prgviou ly shewn his bed, in a closet upon the same floor, he was left to his repose. Sleeping in a down bed, and probably- weary over night, it is not surprising he should sleep till nine the next morning ; and his bed be- ing placed in a kind of recess or closet, he saw no light, and naturally supposed it was not day. He therefore took another nap till about n- ion ; but not then hearing the least stir in the house, though he was rather disconcerted, he did not attempt to knock, or call any of the servants till morning ; when one of them who was in the secret, making his appearance about half dressed, and with a can- dle in his hand, in a tone of affetfed surprise, , is- ked the countryman what he wanted ? " To get up, an you please," was the answer. " What, ( replied the domestic) do you want to alarm the whole house ? why there is nobody s'irring yet— it is not above one o'clock in the morning." Then leaving the new guest, though not able to compose himself, he retained his impatience till midnight • when kn eking again, another servant made bis appearance, with a bottle of water in one hand, and a light in the other. " Are you unwell, Sir ? ( said he) why do you make such a disturbance so early in the morning, when there is nos a single soul stirring in the wWole city, it is not more rhan three o'clock !"— TiAioor stranger, now finding no resource but pati^^ Lagain partook himself to his dark retreat ; b^^ B the expiration of three hours more, racked ^ Plunger and impatience, hi could rio longer contain himself; he now made more alarm than before, and was again told it WM not day. " Parclieu, ( replied he) day or not day, let me out. I have no relish for such a cursed country as this, where a man may be starved to death before morning." He was accordingly let out, and being star light, it was some hours before this poor devil, ( stiffigently wearied| frorn expefla- tions of his uncle's hospitality) was able to ascer- tain the full extent of the deception. ELECTION ANECPOTE— At an Eleflion some years ago, the late Dr. Barrowby interested him- self very much in favour of Sir George Vandepur, who was nominated in opposition to" the Couit party. At this period the Doftor had for some weeks attended the noted Joe Weather& y,- master ' of the Ben Jonson's Head, in Russell's- court. Covent- Garden, who had been greatly emaciated by a nervous fever. During the Doftor's visits, the patient's wife, not knowing that Gentleman's attachment, had frequently expressed her uneasi- ness that her Joey could not get up and vote for her good friend Lord Trentham. Towards the end of the eleiflibn, when very uncommon means were used on both sices to obtain t!* e suffrages. - if the people, the Doctor, calling one morning on his patient, t0 his great astonishment, found him np, and almost dressed by the nurse and her at- tendants. " Hey- day ! what's the cause of this >'> exclaims Barrowby, " why should vou get out of bed without my direftion ?"—" Dear Doflor " says poor Joey, in broken accents, " I am going to poll." « To poll!" replies the Doflor with great warmth, supposing that he had espoused the same side that his wife did, " going'to the devil you mean ! Why, do you not know that the cold air must destroy you ? Get to bed, man • get to bed, man, as fast as you can, or immediate death may ensue."—" Oh, Sir, if that be the case," rejoins the patient, with faultering accents, " to be sure I must atf as you advise me; but I lore my cauntry, and thought, Sir, while my wife was out, to seize the opportunity to go to Covent- Gar- den Church, and vote for Str G. Vandepnr."— " How, Joey, for Sir George!" « Y- s, Sir, I wish him heartily well." « Do vou ?" s'avs the medical politician, « hold, nurse,' dot^' t pull off his stockings again; let me feel his pulse. Hey « very well ! a good firm stroke— egad, this will do!^ you took the pills I ordered last night ?"— " Yes, Doftor, but they made me very sick!"— " Aye, so much the better. H w did yrur mas- ter sleep, nurse ?" " Oh ! charmingly, Sir," re. plies the nurse. « Did he ? Well, if his mind be uneasy about this election, he must be indulged ; dis- eases of the mind greatly affeel those of the body. Come, come, throw a great coat or blanket about him— it is a fine day— but the sooner he goes the better— the sun will be down very soon. Here, here, lif; him up— adad ! a ride will do him good — he shall go to the hustings in my chariot." The Doflor was direflly obeyed, and poor Joe Weath- erby was carried in the chariot to the poll, where he gave his vote according to his conscience— and two hours after his medical friend had left him at his own house, he absolutely departed this life. KIRKCALDY, NOVEMBER 27 During the last few days, a great number of French prisoners have passed through this town, on their way to the depot at Perth. They are in general wretch- ed looking creatures, very dirty, and very ill clad; having been, on their march through Portugal, as they themselves declare, stripped of almost aft their clothing by the Portuguese. A striking contrast to this barbarity was exhibited by two amiable young ladies of Kirkcaldy, who took tlie mantles from their own shoulders, and the blankets from their beds, to bestow upon the prisoners. M ary others of the inhabitants, influenced by si- milar philanthropy, contributed provisions, and such articles of clothing as they could spare.
