Shiffnal, 22d December, 1812, but private letters from that place to the IGtli, make 110 mention of bis Lordship's arrival, and tlierefoie tie must consider the report as erroneous. Some of Ihe letters from Cadiz state, that the princi- ples of Gen. Ballasteros ate very prevalent throughout the Spanish army, and that a strong remonstrance had been made to the Regency to prevent bis banishmentto Centa, which, however, it was thought the Regency would have the firmness to resist. Between 7 and 8000 recruits were organising in the Isle of Leon for general service. It is to be regretted, however, lhat a want of harmony prevails between the Cortes and the Govern- ment, which renders inefficient any plans for the public good, and defeats the effects of tlie national enthusiasm. A private letter of tbe ,1J inst. says—" The Cortes and Regency are continually at variance with each other. The former occupy much of their time in examining charges against tbe latter, which, in fact, paralizes all the measures which ought to be taken for tbe general safety. It is rumoured that Ihe whole originates in an old plan of superseding the present Regency, and forming another, out of the body of the Cortes themselves. To add to our misfortunes, there is also much popular discontent in this city." A letter from AliCant, of the 15th tilt, says—" Gen. Maitland's army has been in a state of inactivity, owing to its beiug too weak; but it has lately been reinforced by Elio and his army, as well as bv that of Ballasteros, which now consists of 30.000 men, in tbe vicinity of Almanza, and their cavalry at Fuenle de la Figuera. The Sicilian army, and Roche's division, with part of the garrison of this place, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for moving. Both armies are to unite, and it is expected that to- morrow, or the day following, they will march for tbat purpose, and proceeil towards Valencia. Five thousand men iu this part of the Peninsula, must create at present a powerful diver- sion in favour of General Hill and tlia Marquis of Wellington."

TOWNSEND FORESTER, Doctor iu Divinity, Bailiff of the said Town auri Liberties, IN THE CIIAIR. Resolved Unanimously, That it appears lo us that the unqualified Repeal of all tbe Laws which at present affect the ROMAN CATHOLICS, and which Ihcy peremptorily demand as their Right, is so to be a Major fur from being consistent witli the Safely and Welfare of I he Constitul ioii) that such a Measure, in our Estimation would, oa the. contrary tend only to its Subversion and to the Establishment of a Roman Catholic Ascendancy : We deem it, therefore, the Du* y of the Protestant Inhabitants of this Country, to £ ive the Subject their most serious Consideration, and fully to express their Sentiments thereon. Thai it appears to us that no farther Repeal of the Laws respecting the Roman Catholics ought to result from De- mand, or to he granted to them as a matter of Right: But should auy fresh Indigencies he granted tu them at any future Period, such Indigencies should proceed purely from the calm and deliberate Consideration of Constitu- tional Authority, That it appears to us that the present Claims of the Roman Catholics of Ireland are ill- timed and unconstitu- tional, and that therefore an ADDRESS he presented to his Royal Highness the- PiuvcE REGENT, and PETITIONS he LONDON.

The ? 9th Bulletin of the Grand Army, so long and so anxiously expected, has at length made its appear- ance in the Monileur. It is dated Moldeschenow, the 3.1 inst. and begins by describing the different battles which took place at Krasnoi, on the Kith, 17th, and period, and when the Emperor Frauds will have an opportunity by his firmness, to restore the peace of Europe, by uniting with Russia against France. Mr. Bragge Bathurst is added to the list of Cabinet Ministers, in Consequence of the resignation of the Marquis of Camden. New York Papers to the 10th ult. have been received. The motion made in the House of Representatives on the 6th ult. for prohibiting, the exportation of " Hour and bread stalls," was negatived by a majority of 78 to 26 Superfine flour at New York on tiie 7th, was at 12 dollars the barrel. An aggregate Catholic meeting was held in Dublin on the 151li instant, Lord Fingal in tlie Chair, at which an Address in favour of the Catholic Claims, was ordered to be printed and presented. An Address of Thanks was also voted to Ibe Hon. C. Hutchinson. It was also resolved, that the Earl of Donoughmore he requested to present the Petition to the Lords, and Mr Grattau to the Commons. The French have been more fortunate of late in the arts of peace than of war ; and we are sure that every Reader will join in our wishes that that they may conti- nue so 1 for it is understood that their successes on the Alps have been complete; that they have reaily done all they boasted they were about to do ; and that thro' the openings in the mountains, where uothiag but a foot- passenger or a pack- horse could pass, there are now post- roads, 111 the best order, and wide enough for three wheel- carriages abreast I— As this might surprise Hannibal, they have done another thing, which might be envied even by Julius CSsur I for we find they have succeeded also in their labours at the Ponline Marshes I — they are drained ! and the nuisance is no more. A nuisance almost incredible in its mischief ( for it often was thought to spread pestilence to the Capital !) in spite of the art ami power of Papal and Imperial Rome ! The effect of the late successes of the R usstans wiil evidently be the reduction of our naval establishment HI the Baltic. Since Sweden and Russia have made peace with this country, a small naval force there is all that will be required for the protection of our trad • ag; inst the Danes. Admiral Morris, it. is now said, takes tiie direction of Ihe shipping upon that station, since the resignation of Sir J. Sauiuarez, whose exertions in a very difficult command have been most eminent. It is understood, tbat Lieutenants in Ihe Line and Regular Militia, that have served as such for seven years, are to be allowed the Brevet rank of Captain, and to do duty as such iu camps and garrisons. The different ideas entertained of the noble scie ten ° f Pugilism in tile sister kingdom, and in this metro- polis, the boasted seat of refinement, and of tile liber 1! Arts, cannot be more forcibly illustrated, than by tile following quotation: —" Yesterday morning, a't an early hour, two young men, hatters, in co, sequence of a formal challenge regularly sent and accepted, met 111 the bloody field near this town, and, the previous ce- remonies being duly observed, the Pugilists set to, and men, but made his escape. The whole line of the retreat of the French army is represented as nothing but a sheet of ire, owing to which, it i » admitted, that the French have lost 30,000 horses s tbe whole of their cavalry and artillery are dismounted, so that their Generals and Colonels were reduced to the situation of presented from this Borough to both Houses of Parliament j common Captains.

Tv. euty thousand horsus, forthe remounting of the cavalry, were in readiness. The Bulletin ends by stating, that after 50 days marches, in which tbe army experienced the greatest difficulties and distresses, it re- quires only repose to re- organize it, as the losses have been chiefly occasioned by the Cossacks, who were continually hovering around il like a cloud of Arabs, and cut off a great number of men who straggled from tbe main array; Bonaparte has effected liis escape to Dresden, and some accounts go so far as to say, that, travelling incognito, he has actually arrived at Paris. Some private letters by the Cadiz Mail, which arrived yesterday, hold out a prospect of Valencia soon becom- ing the scene of active operations. The Anglo- Sicilian army in the neighbourhood of Alicant, with tlie Spanish corps undei the Duke del Parque, and Gen. Elio, and the army lately under the command of Ballasteros, are estimated at not less than 50,000 strong, while Suchet is supposed not to have a force of more than 15,000.

A* ew York papers, from theend of Sept. to the till Nov. Nothing had been done in Congress of any interest since the delivery of the President's Message.— G/: n. Sheaffe has concluded armistices with the American Generals in ' Canada. A brig arrived at Plymouth, from New York in 84 days, states there are now lying at New York upwards of 100 sail of vessels, laden with corn and flour, bound to Spain and Portugal. Nearly the whole of them are j vessels of great burthen. The above American vessel brings no news. Bonaparte has actually ariived in Patis. Paris Papers to the ' 21 st, state his arrival in that city at half- past 11 o'clock on Friday night, having performed this long and perilous journey in the short space of 13 days. What impression the disgrace and. disasler of this base deserter and betrayer of his army will make upon the minds of Ihe French people, and what effect they may have upon his own conduct, ' remain to be seen. The olher great and important question arising out of the subject is, the state in which he left his arrayj and that, vie have not yet means to ascertain. Smorgonia, at which place he deserted it on the 5th, is a small village about 50 miles from Wilna, to which place the sick and wounded had been sent forward, and from which the first convoys had arrived on the 3d. Although the 20th Bulletin is daled tile Sd December, it notices no fighting subsequent to that da'. e. We may, however, presume, that the Cossacks continued to harass the enemv. It is, notwithstanding, probable, that Murat would be able to convey the precious legacy bequeathed him by Bonaparte to Wilna ; but it is not certain that even there it would he safe from farther annoyance. As to its force, the Twenty- ninth Bullelin is studiously silent on that subject. But where 30,000 horses perished in afew days, the loss of men must be immense. However, the e is a remnant of the army ; but although an article, dated from Hamburgh, in Ihe Paris papers, gives a pompous account of the great reinforcements ready to join, it is totally impossible that it could be recruited and completed for another campaign next summer. The la e Grand Army was three years in collecting, uuder favourable circum- stances, that caunot again occur. This, then, is the auspicious moment for peace ; and we trust the long-. suffering nations of Europe will not neglect it. Tnc. Russian accounts stated, that Wii; z: ngerode, who was taken at Moscow, had been released— the Paris Papers stale his arrival at Frankfort. Lisbon Papers to the 8th ult. have arrived. The following are the principal articles of intelligence they Contain:— Lisbon Dec. 5 — The hesd- qnartcrs of the Grand Lord still remained, 011 the 30th of November, in Frcynada, and tbe army was cantoned in it. neighbourhood. General FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. Dispatches were yesterday received at the Office cf Earl Bathurst, from the Marquis of Wellingtou, dated Freynada, the 2d inst. at which time t o new military operations of any importance had taken place.— I he following Bulletin has been issued by Government, oi the Returns of Killed, Wounded, and Missing, of the Army under fhe command of the Marquis of W elling- ton, in the operations from the 15th to the 19lh of November, 1812i.— BRITISH— J Captains, A scrjeauts, 7 rank and file, and 15 2 Captains,, a lieutenants, 4 Serjeants, 8tj Hill had his head- quarters iu Cloria, and the Conde de Piune and Morello had Iheir's iu PJacentia. The army of Galieia marched towards Astorga. The retreat of the coralline. 1 army from the Tonnes to the Aguida passes, among military men, is considered as a chef d'wuvre in the. art of war: 90,000 French, among whom were 10 to 12,000 horse, could not intercept our ar- niv in its retreat to Ciudad Rodrigo, although the Gtand Lord was in Salamanca w hen Caffarellt, with his corps, was near the banks of the Tonnes. Dec, 7,— Head quarters continue at Freynada ; General Hill's division is going South. Our last intelligence from head- quarters is dated the2d insl. The French, for the 3d lime, sacked Salamanca ; in the last King Joseph had ihe honour of being President They imposed upon Vailadolid a contribution of Goo, 000 real for having received and well entertained the English. From an extra- official article in the Paris Papers of the ISLh, itappcars, that something like a Council of War was held at Smorgony on the 5th inst al which Beauharuois, Berthier, Ney, Davoust, Mortier, and Bessicres, were present, when Bonaparte informed them that lie had appointed Murat, ;> s LieU'cnant- General, to command fhe army during the rigorous season, and immediately after setout wilh Cauhncoiirt ( a lit associ- ate), wilh whom, in a single sledge, he travelled incog. under a feigned name. On the 14th he arrived at Dresden, and afterwards took the road to Leipzic aud Mentz. He arrived at Paris on the IStli. In return for the tubs of Bulletins which the French were accustomed to send us in the Austrian w ar, reports of the Russian victories, and of the retreat of the French army, bave been printed in large characters, and sent over to the French coast, and posted along the shore, by men employed for the purpose, who watch opportunities to land at night, and having completed their object, retire immediately to their boats. By this means the French people have been made fully ac- quainted with the disasters of their army in Russia, notwithstanding all the pains taken by their own Go- vernment to conceal them. By a letter from Portsmouth, we learn, that the Fortune cartel had returned to that port from Morlaix, h ivmg 011 board an interesting won an, a native of Ire- land, 22 years of age, who, having been married to Col. Berthon, a French Officer of artillery lately on his parole at Chesterfield, received the permission of this Government to follow her husband to France, and em- barked for that purpose on the 17 th of August last, and has now been cruelly driven back, together with her son, an infant 19 months old, by order of the Frenc' Authorities, and is arrived at Portsmouth, as above mentioned, in a state of the greatest misery anil dis- tress, destitute of the means ot subsistence for au hour, until relieved at the chatgeof this Government, as is done in ail eases of English women arriving from France iti a stale of distress.— T he conduct of the French Go- vernment towards this unfortunate young woman af- fords an additional proof of a fact which cannol be too publicly known; namely, that all marriages con- tracted by French subjects, detained in foreign coun- tries as prisoners of war, are considered by the present French laws as totally invalid. At the mills of iilrick, near Edinburgh, c. n Tuesday se'nnigbl, the iniiler, of the name of Walk r, his wile, and a child, were all found dead in their sleeping apart- ment. The preceding evening, in a small bed room iu whic h they slept, a quantity of wet shillings of corn had been put 011 the fire, for the purpose of preserving it during the night; and the lire being opened partly, the smoke thereby occasioned spreading through tne room, proved fatal to this unfortunate part of the family.

The Speedy is the only packet irom Jamaica since the'commencement of hostilities with America. During the passage she was live times chased, but escaped by superior sailing. The Speedy lias brought about .40^) 00, dollars, on freight, for the merchants, and would have brought < 200,000 more, but Admiral Ste. ling wouid not afford her a con- voy through the Windward passage. It is said to be the Admiral's intention to send ash p of war to England early in the present month. The Swallow Packet, with Mails from Jamaica, and a considerable quantity of specie, has been captured by Commodore Kodgers' squadron. Ne v York aud Halifax Papers were yesterday received in town; the former to the 8th, and the latter to the 19th of November. The most important articles they supply are copies of the correspondence between Mr. RuSseM and Lord Castlereagh in August last, and betweeu Sir J. B.' Yi arren and Mr. Monroe in September and October, on the subject of an armistice, which were laid with the American Presi- dent's Message before Congress.. We were before apprised that the negotiation had terminated unfavourably; and, from what now appears, it would seem that the point 011 which it had split has been the unwillingness on the part j ' or description ; all of the British Government to relinquish the right which it has always claimed aud exercised, of withdrawing its own subjects, by impressment, from the maritime service of American merchant vessels. After 1 he affair ofthe Leopard aod Chesapeake, t he right of searching American ships of war for British subjects was abandoned, but it has never yet been conceded to the American Government that their fla^ j onboard private ships, should protect such of the crew as were bonaJide British subjects. A proposal is intimated by the Admiral's Secretary, that British seamen shall be excluded from the American service; but no satisfactory explanation is given, how the observance of this regulation was to be secured By a wise policy, which cannot be de- parted from by the United States, without the most serious detriment to their own interests, it has hitherto been their maxim to encourage the emigration of foreigners to America ; aud those have of course been the most welcome, who, from speaking the same language, and having the salne manners and habits, could most easily coalesce with them— The Naturalization Laws ofthe United States are framed for the express purpose of inviting foreigners to set- tle in their territory, and the extraordinary increase of their population is in no small degree to be attributed to the ready incorporation of strangers among the natives; but whatever reasons of state the Americans may have for the easy admission of aliens to the right of American citizen- ship, the British Government is ceriainly bound to exercise its authority over its own subjects,' who cannot transfer their allegiance on any Conditions whatever. It is extreme- ly desirable that some arrangement should be entered into, which might give to American seamen all the immunities j which they have a right to claim ; at the same time, it is equally necessary that our Officers should have the power of reclaiming persons known to be British subjects, however they may be cloathcd with American protections. t'rivate advices from Lisbon mention an action be- tween the British ancl French cavalry in the neighbour- hood of Salamanca, when the former was victorious, but which was attended with considerable loss on both sides. We are told that tiie 12th regiment of Light Dragoons is reduced to 250 men. Great supplies of corn from the United Slates had entered the Tagus. By letters from the army in the Peninsula, received yesterday, dated the 28til ult. It appears that they were going into winter- quarters as tar back as Visen, towards which place the first division had that morn- ing marched from Gallegos. By the winter- quarters being fixed at Visen, Lord Wellington will beable lo re- ceive supplies by the way of Oporto, and also prevent, or more properly counteract, any movements of Ihe French upon Oporto. Letters from tho opposite coast slate, that the gene- ral dread and horror of another Conscription is so great through France, that the young men iu most of the departments are flying to distant woods, to avoid the calamitous fale that has befallen their victim relatives in the frozen regions of Russia I Major- General. Maitland, we understand, has de- manded a Court- Martial, for the investigation of his conduct in the Peninsula. It appears from the contents of the 29th Bulletin, ' l' j that Bonaparte was even afraid to acknowledge him- self in Warsaw, where it was thought he would have had an audience with the Constituted Authorities, on whom ho seemed so much to rely. After he has made his escape, he endeavours to cajole the Poles, hy as- serting in his servile prints, that he has a confederation of 24,000,000 of Europeans and 15,000,000 of Poles, which must ensure him success iu the present contest.— In this calculation be includes oi l women, and superan- nuated men, and children ; and his own means, we know, are nearly exhausted, as he ha:; anticipated the Conscription of 1813. If Bonaparte does not make peace, lie will have course to some- expedient, to amuse the people France, and to keep their curiosity oil the alert. it is not likely that he will be enabled next Spring to take the field against It u. sia with any effect; and it is there- fore very probable thai he will direct additional efforts against the Peninsula, and risk sending the Scheldt fleet to sea to assist America against this country.— Russia, however, will not repose, but will pursue her successes, and will prevail on Austria and Prussia, or else oblige them, we hope, to unite ill the war against France. One day last week, a genteel party went from Cals- fteld- place to a pond iu Battel Abbey- park, Sussex, to The following is an extract from Captain Whiuy ales' letter to the Admiral: — " It is with tlie most hitter sorrow and distress I have lo report lo your Excellency ti. e- capture of liis Majesty's brig Frolic, by the ship Wasp, fre'ionging to tbe United Stale, cf America, nil the It! i instant— Having under eouvA llie homeward hound hade' from the BavofHon duras,^ nd l. ci.-. g itt latitude 36 eh g.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26. Letters from the Peninsula say, that nothing could exceed the bad conduct of the French on coming to Madrid and Salamanca. Soult prevented the soldier from pillaging Madrid, but there vtas an immediate ar- rest of every person supposed to bo Irientliy to the English, or the patriotic cause, and all their property was sequestrated— at the same time a very heavy con- tribution was levied on the whole inhabitants. The flue town of Salamanca was given up to plunder for 84 hours, ami the scene committed was too horrible for the attention shewn to the English. It is reported that orders have been sent to the French Marshals in Spain, to send to France instantly half the effective force under their command. Mas- sena is said to have been sent for lo Paris. There was, we Understand, a considerable ferment j at Paris upon the publication of the last French Bul- i letin. The groups iu Ihe streets and public places were j numerous, aud the Paris Papers themselves do not dis- I guise the fact of 30,000 copies of the Bulletin having been sold in the streets of Paris, in addition to the usual newspapers circulaied through the Metropolis; and on the same night there was a violent disturbance at Ihe Theatre Fcydean, w hich has, in a conspicuous part of it, the bust of Bonaparte. There was a very numer- ous audience, and different articles were thrown from all parts of the house at the bust, accompanied with hisses and execrations. The police, as usual, had its myrmidons in the Theatre: but they were too few in comparison with the whole audience to produce any effect, The clamour and exclamations against the ty- rant grew louder, and after attacking the bust in the way we have mentioned, they at length tore it down, trod it under foot, aud broke it. After this was done, they immediately emptied tiie house. The Macedonian frigate, Carden, has heen captured by the United States frigate, Decatur.—' Tho Macedo- nian was a new frigale of the first class, and was com- manded by Lord VV. fitzroy in I8! 0. His Lordship was dismissed from that ship and the service the fol- lowing year, at Lisbon, on charges we are unwilling to repeat, because he has since beeu reinstated in his rank. Captain Carden, who had, on the same station, the temporary command of the Villede Paris, was appoint- ed to this favourite frigate, and is a most able and meritorious officer. He sailed on the 24th of Septem- ber from Portsmouth, iu company with the lnglis East Indiaman, which he was to protect to a certain latitude, and then returned as convoy to the China fleet from St. Helena. Letters from Paris have been received to- day as late as to Tuesday last, but they contain nothing ot impor- tance. Ail the letters we have been accustomed to obiaiu hy the licensed vessels have been slopped, so that for tbe present we procure only those which are transmitted hy smugglers. Many conjectures are hazarded oil account of the means employed to sup- press information. the promised convoy for Gottenhurgh, having been detained so long by easterly winds, and boisterous weather, the Lords of the Admiralty have determined that none shail now be granted till the opening ot the Spring. Bonaparte, who has seldom, if ever, allowed merit to be possessed by any General, save in his own service, has at length had the candour lo admit the superior powers of General Frost; no wonder then that thecase of the French army should be a hard one.

A resolution stating Ihe expediency of an address lo tli?

Bolli Houses of Parliament have'passed a grant for an allowance ofj£? 00,000 lo relieve the il stressed people cf Russia ; ami liiere is every probability- that si genera' subscription will be pet on fool for flii's truly noble purj- oif.—- The people t. f Russia have ' sacrificed all they possessed for the good of their country, ami then risked their lives in its defence.— In doing, this they have been fighting the batllcs of Europe; and should the blessing of Peace be attained, ibi basts will bo the Russian Victories.— With the relum of Peace, Commerce « ill revive; and this country, with the hi- tlierio oppressed nations of ihe Continent, may rejoice, „ with grateful hearts to Providence, for lite deliverance thus so unexpectedly given to them.

Bonaparte, we suppose, according lo his custom, will give his Marshals Russian titles lo mark their service* iu this glorious campaign. We recofbmend the follow- ing names, of which Ihe termination; at the least, is Russian, and the whole of wh eh is descriptive ol ' lie respective services ofthe persons engaged :— Ney may- bo called Kiird- off; the Viceroy '/ alccti- off; M -.. it, a great cavalry officer, Knock'd- off; and the Emperor himself, if he should condescend to accept one dignity more, may denominate himself— Made- off. These names will, in the balance of history, be fine counter- poises to the Kutusoifs, Platoffi, and Tcliichakoffs of the Russians. We have often heard of a constitution as strong as that of a korsd; but, from Bonaparte's Bullelin, it appears that hi* horses have bad less strength of constitution than his men.

A nutneroijis Meeting ot Nobility and Gentry was held on Wednesday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, pursuant to public adreit' » ement, for tbe humane purpose of setting ( HI foet a : uhsonption for the relief of that pait of the Russian population which lias been reduced to want and mi- sery bv the devastations of the French armies. About two o'clock, bis Royal Highness the Duke of York entered the room, amidst the acclamations of tbe assembly. He was accompanied bv the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. N. Van- siitart, Mr. Wiiberforce, and several other distinguished characters. On Ihe motion of Mr Samuel Thornton, bis lloyal High- ness nas ' if mediately'caftefl pi the Chair. Mr. Samuel Thornton then proceeded to open the business of the dav. The occasion, he observed, on which they were met to. et her, was one w hich, he was sure, most, interest aud rouse the best feelings of every British bosom. They had teen an immense aimy, drawn from the population of almost every part of Europe, led on to an attack on theRussian empire — they had seen that attack boldly resisted, by immense sacrifices, nnd by a prudent line of conduct. The distresses to which tbe Russian people bad been reduced, by pursuing the patriotic and honourable course which they had adopted, could " ndt be '• contemplated without exciting a strong desire to assist fherh in struggling with the evils by which they were surrounded. ' Because'they had followed a line ot policy, at variance with the plans of the invader, they bad been driven, in the midst of winter, to take shelter iu the woods— they were compelled to'undergo every privation— their dwellings were abandoned — their families weie dispersed— their property destroved. The aoriuiiHilalimi of suffering by which they were visited, bad called forth ilie commiseration, and demand- ed the assistance and support of fhe first ' personages iu tiie Russian empire. The Royal Family were foremost tn set an example of generosity, nnd they'were followed by the NutilCs, the Merchants, and all those alio had'it in their power to - ti, mister to the wants of their fellow-' couptrymeii. ' One - instaiicr of ex'raotdinary generosity bad ' come to his own • knowledge, and the name of the person by whom ' it was per- formed, uiight to lie immortalized, She was a Russian Prin- cess, and in the receipt of an immense annual revenue— but, in conscqner. ee of the recent occurrences, she informed the peasantry on her estates, that . she would not take any rent from ' hem, nor would she accept of any pecuniary considera- tion whatever, niit. il they had perfectly recovered from tbe calamities by which they were at present oppressed.— ( Applause,)— Re felt that it was unnecessary for him to enter at great, length, into the misfortunes they were called on to relieve, lor the purpose of exciting their feelings. When he recollected what bail heen done for the suppoil nf the patriots in Spain, and lo alleviate the distresses of the suffering Porlu- pne- t, he was convinced tbat the application on behalf of the Russians would meet with tiie same liberality from a humane, enlightened, and generous public,—( Applause:)— It wan a ctircptnstnn. ee highly pleasing to liim— a pleasure, in which every per. on who beard him mu,-. t participate— to know that they were called on lo make this honourable exertion, under the auspices, with the assistance, ar. d in tbe presence of a Prince of ' he Blood — ( Grew Applause)— and he hoped that the example which his Royal Highness had tbat day shewn, would be followed with zeal aud alacrity by evety rank of people in the country.— f Applause.) He then proceeded to lead the Resolutions.— The first expressed tbe hich sense which the meeting entertained of the heroic constancy displayed by the Rumuau Government and people in tbe contest with France.— The second set forth that it wns the duty of the meeting to contribute, by every means in their power, to alleviate tbe aggravated distresses of Ihe Russian people; and the third recommended a sub- scription for lhat purpose The first Resolution be ng put from the Chair- Serjeant PELL ruse for Ihe purpose of seconding it. He said, when be entered the room, he was a perfect stranger to the probable attendance of any of those illustrious per- sons, who ha ; honoured the assembly by their countenance ; he was wholly unacquainted with the object of the meeting, except that it had humanity for its source, and benevolence for its cbject. — ( Applause.)— Il was impossible for any person toeonsidei seiiousiy what had taken place in Russia, without feeling mingled emotions of wonder and delight— and the wealth of England, wealthy as she was, could never be moie usefully or moie honourably applied, than in succouring those whose distresses had originated iu a noble devotion for their native con fitly. But the efforts of the Russians were not confined to their nation— they had saved Russia, it was true— hut they bad also save i Europe.--/' Applause.)— Such exertions deserved tltc praise and assistance ot every free and virtuous mind— and, he trusted, that, the example ol that day would pervade eve1 y class ot the community— he hoped it would proceed font Ihe Prince, to the Peasant. It was not a private, but a national cause— and, while llie licb man appropriated a part, of bis wealth to so admirable a purpose, let the pour man prove, by a more humble offering, that, though it was not in his power to equal tlie gift of tbe opulent and the great, be was still emulous to follow and adopt tbe principle, for it was Ihe principle alone which could moke the donation valuable— ( Loud Applause.)— While they were thus employ- ed in assisting the Russians, h- felt that they were doing honour to England— and, while they were thus exhibiting the generous virtues of the country, they were strengthening and snpportiug her best interests— / Applause.)— The object which i bey had ir. view-, was founded in the best feelings of humanity ; and while it conduced to th* comfort of a suffer- ing people, it must stimulate them to farther - exertions— ( Applause). Mr. Wilberforce said, if be feit any doubt in his mind on tbe present occasion, it did not arise from any opposition to the feelings or sentiments contained in tbe speeches which had just been delivered ; but ltc feared that the Meeting was not sufficiently known to have been- fixed for this day, to give all those an opportunity of attending who might have deriied it. The assistance which they were about to- give, would at iHice be conducive to Ibe general interest ot the country, houourable. to the national gratitude, a tid accoidant wilh those principles, which it would be an injury to llie name uf Englishman, to suppose they did not feel. When t hoy looked lo tbe efforts made by t he Russians, and consi- dered the tfleets which were likely Inflow from them, it was impossible uot to see that their sufferings may operate greatly to Ibe benefit of this country. Tbe conflagration of tiie great city of Moscow, which prevented the enemy from win- tering there, and occasioned that congregation of evils kby ivhieh he had been subsequently visited, gave a new feature to ihe aspect nf Europe. And it was most evident to every reflecting mind, that this act, though plunging a part ofthe Russian population in great distress, was fraught with benefit towards our manufacturers. Indeed, it might be said, that the Hussions, bv their exertions, bad done something for the family of every manufacturing person in the country.— / Applause). — Should not the countiy, then, make a return to shew its gratitude-? Should it not be manifested to Eu- rope, that though we have been teimed a nation of shop- keepers, trade has uot narrowed, but enlarged our feelings that it Iras expanded our hearts— and permitted us to look roun'd, wherever distress was visible, tbat we might impart to il our bounty— hut, particularly, when, by the sufferings of others, our own welfare and the happiness of tbe world, weie likely to be seemed.—( Applause.)— This cause came re- commended to them by every generous feeling of tlie human heartand by forwarding it, witn their utmost jiower, they would shew to the world that they w ere- not connected with a nation, alive only to its own interest; on Ibe contrary it must be seen, that they would scarce take the necessary means of making the object public, so impatient were they to expiess their feelings— ( Applause.)- Happy was Ihey to see that tbe Illustrious Personage in the Chair, was impelled to join them in ouecomMym purpo- e. to allcivate the sufferings' of the people of Russia, which ihty must all most deeply deplore. Mr. S. Thornton slated, that the holidays being so very near, occasioned the meeting to lie fixed for mat day. There had lee 11 a meeting ill the City, for a similar purpose; and a second meeting would take place there next week. Those who were at the hend^ f it, intended toco- operate with the views of the present assembly. Tbe Resolutions were then put and carried, una voce. A Committee v as then up| K> inted to conduct the business. Amcngst the Memiieis are, G. Rose, Esq. C. Long, Esq Sir Hugh lnglis, Mr. Antrobus, Mr. Ihogden, W. WiiOerlorce, Esq. & c. &. C. — Mr. S. Thornton, Treasurer. The thanks of tbe Meeting were then given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Yotk, and the Meeting separated!

The Regulation laid down by his Royal Highness thc Commander in Chief, respecting Officers holding permit:' nent Staff situations, is about to be enforced, and they art nil lu be placed on half- pay. • f A whimsical lapsus lingua occurred at the Chapel Royal, Brighton, not long since. The Clerk there, who is often employed as a porter at sales, in announcing a Sermon which would he preached there for the benefit of the School of Industry, accidentally concluded his notification by loudly observing instead of thc smite, that fhe side would begin precisely at II o'clock The number of persons receiving parish pay in the parish of St. Mary's, in Nottingham',' is at present be- tween 9 and 10,000, out of a population of 24,0001 The number of paupers in the other parishes is nearly in the same proportion. Thus more than one- fourth of the population of this once flourishing town, is re- duced to a state of extreme poverty by the continuance of the war. We insert the following brief extract from the His- tory of Sweden, at the request of a correspondent, under the signature of, A Friend to the Agriculturist; " When the winters are unusually long & severe, and fod- der consequently scarce, the Swedish farmers, to preserve the lives nf their cattle, are constrained to adopt a variety of expedients, oue of which is as follows : they boil about a handful of hay in three gallons of water, which infusion is extremely nutritious, replenishes the udders ofthe cows w ith an amazing quantity of milk, and makes one truss of hay go farther, aud prove more beneficial, than ten in the common way." The annual Meeting of the Bath and. West of England Society, last week, was numerously attended by all the distinguished characters for agriculture and science in that part of the kingdom, as well as many strangers. The President, Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, Bart, was voted the Bedfordeau medal, for the zeal, assiduity, and impartiality with which he has so long and so admirably conducted Ihe business of the Society. New proof's were produced of the great utility of cultivating the Fiorirf- grtiss, and the premium was awarded to W. Dickinson, Esq. M. P. for his suc- cessful experiments on thai subject; and the Rev. Dr. Richardson was unanimously - elected an honorary Member, and a silver medal voted him for his liberal communications to the public on the manifold advan- tages of that grass. A resolution passed for prose- cuting a petition to Parliament for a general Inclosurc Bill.

CAUTION'.—- A Clergyman named T , who had [. undertaken the parochial duty at Christchurch, Hants, during the absence of the incumbent, appears lo have been engaged the whole ( about three months) in syste- matic fraud. \ lle had a wife and child with him ; at I first they resid\ l at the George Inn, and afterwards in private lodgingsHij^ ing most extravagantly in each, hut paying nothing at enter place. He obtained of differ- ent tradesmen provisions, w ines, linen, and cloaths of various kinds, silver articles, and trinkets, thus defraud- ing no less tnan 2( 5 tradesmen ; besides which, he bor- rowed of one person jgll. and different sums of three or four others. At length he absconded, leaving his wile and child pennyluss; hut in pity to their situation, a sufficient sum was raised by subscriptiod to defray the expense of conveying them to London, where the unfortunate woman lias friends. ANECDOTES OF COOKE, THE MISF. R. There was no greater pest to [ the medical men, that had the honour of his custom, than olel COOKE, the Miser, who died some short time ago at the age of 86, leaving behind him the enormous sum of one hundred and twenty seven thousand pou . ds in the 3 per cent. Consols, with which he never assisted any one individual, nor ever did any good in the course of that long life ! ! This old man would without ceremony go to the houses of apothecaries, and have them called up at four or five in tbe morning, to administer some medicine for a complaint in his bowels, w hich be would want to have made up for twopence * if this was refused, be would go as far as four. pence, but if it was to cost sixpence, he would goto another shop, and call the house up for a pennyworth of Jalap; for, he said he would soonei bear the pain in bis guts all day, than pay such a great deal of money as SIXPENCZ for physic. Many are tbe anecdotes of the tricks this avaricious old man used to play, to cheat Medical men of their time, and save his own money ; such as putting on ragged clothes and going as a pauper to Mr. Saunders, aud other gentlemen, to have gra- tuitous advice for his eyes— getting a Letter for a Dispensary, and attending there as a decayed tradesman, for several weeks, till detected. Having an iilcer on his leg, which ( being of a gross habit of body) aiarmed him, he employed a Mr. Pigeon, that lived nearly opposite him in White Lion street, Perttonville, to cure it. " How long do you think it. will be befoie you can cure it?" " A month." " And how much must I give you ?" Pigeon, who saw that thc sore was not of great importance, answered " A guinea."—" Very well," replied Cooke ; " bnt mark this— a guinea is an immense sum of money, and when 1 agree for sums of such magnitude, I go upon the system of no cure no pay ; so it 1 am not cured at the expiration of the month, 1 pay yoil nothing.' 1 This was agreed to.— After diligent seBrch for several days, the wound was in near being healed, that Cooke expressed himself satis- fied, and would not let Pigeon see it any more. However, within two or three days nf the month being up, the old fellow got some sort of plaster, with Euphorbiuin in it, from a farrier, and made a new ulcer on the place where the former bad been, anil sending tor Pigeon on the last day of the month, shewed him that his leg was not well, aud tbat of course tbe guinea he had agreed for was forfeited I This slory the old fellow used to tell of himself with great satisfaction, and used to call it " plucking a Pigeon. 1' When on his death bed, he sent for several Medical men; some would not attend ; among those who went to him, Mr. Aldridge, of Pentoriville, was one. Hitn he permitted to send him some, medicine. At one of the interviews, he earnestly iiitreated Mr. Aldridge to tell him candidly how long tie thought he might live. Tbe answer was, that probably he might last six days. Cooke, collecting as much of bis almost exhausted strength as he could, started up in bed, " And are you not" said he, " a dishonest man!— a rogue!— a robber! to serve me so?" " As how, Sir?" asked Mr. Aldridge with surprise. " Why, Sir, you are no better Ihau a pickpocket— to go to rob me of my gold, by sending in two draughts a day to a man that all your physic will not keep alive above six days 1— Get out of my house, and never come near me again !

Tbe Appeals before the House were postponed till the second Tuesday after the recess, and the House adjourned fill Wednesday, the 3d of February. HOUSE OF COMMONS. " Sir F. BUHDETT presented a Petition from tbe relatives of several persons confined in Rochester Gaol, who had been taken up at the late election for Bath, ou a charge of rioting and feloirv, for whom all bail had been refused, and who were thrown into dismal ceils, heavilv ironed, where they were exposed to all the inclemencies of the weather ; they were also dented all food except the gaol allowance, and they had no meansof seeking redress except by a Petition to the House. He was afraitl that great acts of oppression were frequently exercised by gaolers and some magistrates in different pai ts ( if the country; and he believed the oppres- sion in those instances arose from vindictive motives, pro. rhiced by that animosity Which generally takes p'ace at elections. If the parties in qtie- tion were kept in their pre. sent situation much longer, dining tho cold weather, their lives would be in danger. Tltey were persons in respectable situations— one was a printer, another a carpenter, another a shoemaker, nnd another a poor industrious woman; and parents and children were dependent on them for support. The Petition - was tben delivered in and read ; and after Stating all the above facts, the petitioners prayed for relief.— Mr. HARVEY observed tbat it would be ' impossible for the House to take cognizance of the allegations in this Petition ' till after tbe recess ; and as tbat would be close upon the assizes, when the pai ties were lo be tiied, be did not see how the House could interfere, without receiving informa- tion, ' Which there could not then be time to enter into.— Lord pAt. Mi-: t-. sTON said, that he regretted this Petition was not presented in a fuller attendance, - or at a time when some information might be given upon it. It appeared from some circumstances, that the Hon. Baronet was not in the habit of receiving the most correct information on mat- ters of this kind. The parties alluded to, it appeared, had been committed for a capital felony; and was the House to suppose, from tbe bare allegations of the petitioners, that the Magistrates- of the county could commit such a gro3s vio- lation of their duty as was set forth'? Mr. WALLACE said, the Petition was calling on the House to supersede tbe province of a Jury ; and he put it to Gen- tlemen whether the Petition ought to be received. Sir F. BUITTFIT said, it was in tbe power of the House to afford some protection to the parties, by alleviating the hard- ships of their confinement, which was at once cruel and un- necessary. The Petition was then ordered to lie on the table. A Message from the Lords stated that they had agreed to certain amendments made by the Com aloes in the Insolvent Debtors' Bill.— Adjourned. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22. On the motion of Lord CASTLE* RAOS, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to the 2d of Fe- bruary.— A new writ was ordered, for ibe Borough of Clilhe- roe, in the room of Lord C.- stlereagh, who having also been returned for the County of Down, had made his election for the latter place. Mr. Alderman COMBE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for enlarging and imptoviiig Smithfield Market. Mr. ( JUANT enquired whether it was tiie intention of Mi- nisters to enforce the provisions of the Local Token Act, and thereby to inconvenience the country in the piesent scarcity ot silver, and the comparatively limited distribution of brass Tokens.— Mr, VANSITTART re jlied, lhat though he fully ap proved uf Ibe principle of the Local Token Act, yet it ivas intended to postpone i's operation for some months, he thought till about Midsummer,' in order that time might be given for the adoption of measures to ensure a more liberal supply of Bank Tokens. Adjourned lo the 2d of February. BANKRUPTS, DECEMBER 19. Benjamin Austin, of the Minories, London, furnishing iron.
