TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD MINTO, GOVERNOR- GENERAL, & c. See. " On board hi « Majesty's ship Modeste, offSa_ marang, Sept. 21, 1811. " My LORD— Immediately on receiving the in- telligence of General Jansen's retreat from Bug. tenzorg by an eastern route, and the occupation of that post by our troops, I placed a force, con- sisting of the 3J battalion of Bengal Volunteers, and a detachment of artillery with two guns, un- der the orders of Colonel Wood, and directed his embarkation, in communication with Rear- Ad- miral iitopford, who ordered three frigates on the service, for the purpose of occupying the fort of Transports weiy; at the same time put Ailee, and over part of which the road was. cut the doubtful light, and great height of the hi]) | j they occupied, made ihe position appear at first most formidable. It was resolved to attack it im- mediately, and as the leading division or advance of the detachments moved forward to turn the enemy's left, a fire was opened on them from mffny guns placed on the summit of the hill, and various positions on its face, which completely commanded the ro4d:—. these Were answered by our field- piecps as they came up, with the effeCt, though fired from a considerable distance, and with great elevation, of confusing the enemy's ar- tillery in directing their fire, from which a very trifling Itfss was sustained. Their flank was . turn- ed with little difficulty, but wh^ t rose from the [ extreme steepness of the ascent, and after a short but ineffectual attempt to stop, by the fire of some guns advantageously posted, across a deep ravine, the advance of the body of our detachment, the enemy abandoned the greatest part of their ar- tillery, and were seen in great numbers and in great conftlsion in full retreat. " It was evident that their Saroiy Was com- pletely disunited ; several officers, some of them of rank, were taken ; their native., allies, panic struck, had abandoned their officers, and only a few pieces of horse artillery remained of their field ordnance.— With these they attempted to cover their retreat, pursued by Colonel Gibbs, who, with the detachment, passed several incom- plete and abandoned batteries ) and at noon, after twelve miles hard march over a rugged country, approached the village o Oortarang, in which, and ir « the small fort beyond it, the enemy ap- peared to have halted, and collected in irregular masses. Small cannon from the fort and village opened on the line as it advanced : our field- pieces were breught up to a commanding station, and by their fire, covered the formation of the troops, who, led by Colonel Gibbs, were advanc- ing to assault, the fort, when it was evacuated by the enemy. Alarmed by our fire they were seen to abandon it and its vicinity in the utmost con- fusion, leaving some light guns with much ammu- nition and provisions in the village, where they had broken the bridge to impede pursuit ; the road beyond it was covered with the caps, clothing, and military equipment of their troops, who seemed to have been completely routed and dispersed. Early in the night Brigadier Winkleman, with some other officers, came into my quarters wilh a flag of truce from General Jansens, charged to request an armistice."— An armistice of 24 hours was agreed to. On the forenoon of the 17th September, an of- ficer arrived with powers to treat, and a capitu- lation was agreed to, which General Jansens at first refused to approve of j but Sir Samuel Auch- muty immediately threatened to march the troops tion to atid between these j hut will os easily ar- ranged when the troops ordered to Samanmg .11 have arrived, i » nd the rtipyrt of Ca^ i.

By Order, WM. BIGGER, SE « . the attack of Sourabaya and Fort Louis, towards which place it was supposed the enemy had re- tired. " On the 6th of September, wh « n on the point of Indermayo, I learned from an express boat, which had been boarded by Commodore Brough- ton, that Cheribon was in possession of the frigates detached on that service, having separated from the transport, on board of which all their troops but the Commodore had embarked. Capt. Beaver, the senioi officer of the squadron, had landed the seamen and marines, and occupied the fort, which surrendered to his summons in time to make a prisoner of Brigadier Jamelle, while passing on his route from Bugtenzorg, with many other of- fleers and troops. Letters, intercepted on this occasion from General Jansens, announced his in- tention to collect his remaining forfie near Sama- rang, and to retire on Solo. This intelligence de termined me to sail for Cheribon, where I arrived on the evening of the 7th of September, and find- ing that no troops had yet arrived, that a detach- ment of seamen and marines had marched inland on the Bugtenzorg road, and been successful in the securing great numbers of the fugitives from thence, and gaining possession, an terms of ca- pitulation, of the post of Caron Sambong on that route, I sent immediate orders for the march of reinforcements from the distriftof Batavia." Sir Samuel Aucbmnty proceeds to state, that he arrived at Simarang on the 9th Sept. On ^ 10th, be sent Gen. Jansens an invitation tf capitu- late by Captain Elliott and Col. Agnew.—'" They saw the General, received his ascertained that he had still with him at least a numerous staff, and that he prqfe-" t-' d a determination to persevere in the co » cest* The small force with me did not a- Jml* of my attempting to assault the place, while H w » s supposed to be thus occupied ; but an attack was made that night by the boats of the squadron, on several gun- vessels of the enem,' 1, muored accross the entrance of the rivers lading to the town, and the precipitation with which they were abandoned gave a character of probability to accounts, which reached us from I fishermen and others, that the General was ocCu- pied in withdrawing his troops to the interior, and had fortified a position at a short distance on the road toward Solo or Soercarta, the residence of the Emperor of Java." Sir Samuel then says Samarang was evacuated, as at Batavia, and that the enemy had retired to a strong position six miles off, where they were ereCting batteries and entrenchments. The whole of our troops had not arrived ; but in order not to give the enemy confidence by a longer delay, Sir Samuel determined to detach Colonel Giobs to attack the enemy— the British force did not ex- ceed 1100 infantry, and the necessary artillery to man four six- pounders, with some pioneers, " Colonel Gibbs marched at two o'clock on the morning of the 16th from Saraarang, and aft<: r ascending some steep hills, at the distance of near six miles, the fires of the enemy appeared a little before the dawn of day extending along the sum. mit of a hill, which crossed our front at J. itte Jansens allowed the opportunity of capitulating now offered, to escape, by not accepting the terms already prepared, no other could be offered. Bri- gadier Winkleman returned with all speed to Ge- neral Jansens, and Colonel Gibbs marched with his detachment at six o'clock on the road to Soli-, gata, where, after advancing about five miles, he was met by Brigadier Winkleman, bearing the capitulation, confirmed by the signature of General Jansens, and accompanied by a letter, No. 2, which strongly marked the acuteness of his feelings at being compelled, by the desertion of his allies, and the destruction of his army to adopt this measure. The detachment counter- marched immediate- ly, and after sending a company ( at the request of Brigadier Winkleman) to secure the guns in the post of Soligata, moved back to Oonarang, whence on the evening I returned to Samarang, just before General Jansens had announced his intention of joining me at the former place. The General, with great part of his officers, also reach- ed Sarnarang that night. I visited him on the following day, and arranged for che equipment of a transport to convey him to Batavia with his suite, in which they embarked his morning. " I have dispatckcu Colonel Gibbs to assume the command of the division of Sourabaya, to which I have allotted his Majesty's 78th regi- ment- the 4th volunteer battalion, the light in frntry battalion, and the Royal artillery. I have sent a small detachment under Major Yule, of the 20th Bengal regiment, an officer on whose conduct I have much reliance, to accompany the Prince of Samanap and his force to the island of Madura, where I have directed the Major to as- sume command, subject to the general controul of Colonel Gibhs: he has been instructed to oc- cupy the small forts of Joanna and Rambang on his route, and I have directed that of Japara to be occupied from Samarang, Idiamayo and Paca- longa have been garrisoned by the troops from Cheribon. In mentioning the Prince of Samanap, it would be unjust to him not to report, that pt ior [ to my march from Samarang, to attack the ene- ; my, he sent to ask my orders, being, With 2000 I of his people, within a short distanae at Damak. \ He visited me on my return to Samarang, and expressed ail earnest wish for the protection and friendship of the British nation, ' « I have detached Captain Robirison, your Lord- ship's Aide- de- camp, with a small escort, to the Court of Solo and D'Jogocarte, to deliver a let* ter from me to the Emperor and Sultan, and an- nounce the change that has taken place ; I h;. vc also called upon the residents at their Courts, Van Braam and Englebard, to continue, agreeably to the capitulation, the exercise of their function in behalf of the British Government, and to secure carefully the public property of the late Govern- ment, placed in the territories of the respective PrinccS at whose couitthey reside. " It will be necessary soon to arrange for the guard of honour attached to the Empe. or and Sultan of the troops of the European Govern- , ment of Java, and for the occupation of the forts |! ENGLISH LAW INTELLIGENCE. COtlRT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY 17. HAKWOOD LI. SIR T. BUSDETT. The Plaintiff's Counsel, Sir S. Rumilly. Mr. Hart, and Mr. Bell, were heard this day, at ' jreat length, upon a petition for rehearing of this came, upon which his Lordship had some time ago given judgment. Our readers will most probabh rec; lleCt the heads of it from a formvr report s they are briefly the following :— The plaintiff, MV.- Harwood, was nephew of a Gentleman of the* name of Tooke, but not on terms of inti- nacy, such as might be expeCted, from such a relation- ship, until the good offices of Mr. Horne Tooke* the nephew was reconciled to the uncle, and by that mesns has inherited a very conside- able for^> tune. The kindness of Mr. Horne Tooke waf greaily enhanced from the great probability of succeeding, in his own person, to the Gentleman'* property whose nephew he had thus generously served, as tbe uncle had beer, known to i. a'. v given hints of such an intention. Mr. Harwood express* ed his sense of this generous interposition, . y giv. ing Mr. Horne Tooke a note of hand for J£ K) 00. This note was passed in 1803. Mr. Horne Tooke desiring to convert this into a provision for iiig family, purchased for part of it an annuity from Sir Fiancis Burdett, and took a bond for the re- mainder, £ 1600} upon which the plaintiff filed a bill in equity, and moved for an injuuCti. n to stop the proceedings at law, on the ground of no fair or valuable consideration having been obtain- ed for the note in question. The Chancellor grant- ed an injunction, conditionally, on his ( the pi tin- tiff) confessing judgment, and paying the inonej'- into Court. His Lordship's judgment, as hat been stated, was adverse to the plaintiff, who, however, has thought it advisable to petition his Lordship for a rehearing. The very Learned Counsel, in support of the Petition, in a great measure re- opened the cause, and argued that, even upon the Defendant's own. shewing, no valuable consideration had been given for the note ; that it had been obtained iri eonse* quence of an intimacy that was followed by a kind of undue influence j that general policy lis- countenanced transactions of this nature ; that the Plaintiff and Mr. Home Tooke did not stand in that degree of relationship, which sometimes, and under particular circumstances, gives an appear- ance of equity to such proceedings, there being- no equality of contract in the parties in t. h « * case and that great danger would result from the es- tablishment of the doCtrine, that stratigers might bargain for their advance in the affairs of relations. The cases cited in support of those arguments were v ry numerous. His Lordship noticed all the points with hi « usual accuracy, and seemed to lay a particular stress upon the ciicumstance of the Defendant, Sir Francis Burd^ tt, having no notice from the ITJCIU U1 JdVdt cUlU IUI of their capital, and on tkc lines of co& rmmica- \\ Jury Plaintiff of any legal or equitable objection to the note at the time of his giving a valuable conside- ration for it. Upon the whole, the leaning of his Lordship's mind seems to be for the affirming of his own decree j but he has thought proper to r. iie further time for the consideration of it » His final judgment is expeCted on Monday. No Counsel appeared for the Defendant, a cir- cumstance which his Lordship no; iced in the be* ginning of hixobservations, by stating die nee. sky of greater aecura- y on his own part, innsmucii as it was his own decree, and that the Defendant had reposed so much in his validity. An uncommon circumstance in the annul i of Juries occurred on Thursday.

Mr. PONSONBY, in the name of a Noble Trierd of his, ( Lord G. Cavendish) postponed in j. consequence of the melancholy event in his Lord- ' shi] '. family, the motion respecting the State of Ireland frorti Monday next to Mondny fortnight. Sir J. NEWPORT asked Mr. Rose, whether it was his intention to brine forward a motion to ascertain the amount of the Population of Ireland? Mr. ROSE answered, that as soon as it was possib'e to overcome the difficulties which pre- sented themselves to that inquiry, the account should be laid before Parliament. On the motion of Sir F. BuRDETT, a return was ordered to be made of the number and names , of ' he Police Magistrates appointed in the county of Middlesex, under the SI st of the King, stating th » qualifications, and whether they them « elves, or their wives, held any pensions from the Crown. B£ 01 ' * 0 » ADMIRALTY. Mr. BROUGHAM rose to make his promised lliotjon on the ^ ub]-^. H4 began by impressing UO01 the House the importance of the inquiry at the time it was making a civil settlement of the Crown on a new he^ I. I; Ie adverted to the returns Upon the table, wbich showed that the revenue deriw ' from the Duchy of Cornwall amounted to ^ 13,000 a year, and frc m that of Lancaster a large ' sum not precisely ascertained. The 4* per 1- pnt. dtity ontheLee- vard T- lands p- oduced alarge pnjast, and impolitic revenue : but tbe principal by far in magnitude was the Droits of Admiralty, which reached the enormous sum of 8,000,000, place.' n tho hands of the Register of the Court of Arlri Iralry and the Governors of the Bank of England. The question was, whether it were right that the Crown should possess such an unl:- Jnited revenue, or rather whether, having possessed it, it were rot now the time to put a stop to it ? He noticed the prodigious influence which this vast revenue gave the Crown, so inconsistent with the Constitution ; and the power it also gave the Mi- nisters, by which if was rendered almost unneces- sary for them to come down to the House to ask for supplies, the voting of which was one of the prerogatives of the House, and could be exercised by no other authority. Those Droits, in fafl, su- perseded ihe necessity of any Parliament. Mr. Brpugbaiti here cited several cases to them, that theie wus no gionnds to justify the alienation of these Droits to the Crown, and took an extensive review of the subject in all its relations. He con- cluded with moving a string of Resolutions, de- , ebjeing, that the possession by tbe Crown of any suir. s aiising from sources not responsible to Par- liament, was contrary to the principles of the Constitution : that it was the duty of this House to incjnire into, and to regulate all sums proceed- ing from such sources as the Droits of Admiralty, & c. and that the funds accruing to his Majesty from such sources, had now increased to an amount which called for their serious consideration, which, sifter an animated Debate, were lost— 38 to 93. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 22. KISTILr. FRY ULl,. M.. T, XTSHINGTON brought up the report of this Biii, and on the question being put that it be read a- second lime. Sir JOHN NEW PORT lamented that he had not at an earlier period called the - attention of the House to a clause in the Bill, on which be wished them to pattre, and to weigh the subjefl well be- fore they adopted a principle which might lead to the most injurious consequences; he meant the claus « which prohibited the intercourse between the two countries, England and Ireland. If it were nec;-< sary to alter the article of the Uuion re- latii. sr to this subjiefl, he wished it to be done by fair etn. lative provision, and not by a side- wind in En aft or Parliament, not having this alteration for its stle and distinft objeft.— Ever since the Union ha'd passed, it seemed a favourite effort with the British Government, year after year, to fritter away all the advantages enjoyed by the Iris's listilleYs, under the stipulated privilege of exporting its produce into England, by, suspen- sion, bv prohibitions, and other measures of re- strictions jn favour of the English dis illers. If this measure were applied to spiiit, what was tbeie to prevent its application to linen also? He pit it to Ministers, whether it was fair to pursue this course, an. to ii.' ist upon it only because the Irish Members were the weaker party. 558 one side, and 100 on ibe other ? Tire Hon. Baronet entered at » <- r> n> leng- h into' the Distillery Laws,' and warn- ed the Vionse not to admit a principle which Ihiglit be applied lieieafttr to allthe articles of Irish in . nufaCfurf. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as the Bill had to go through other stages, he would not now reply to what had been ob- served., Ms. SINCLAIR made some short remarks oh jj the impolicy of trenching on the agricultural in- terests of the country, as was done mom material- ly in this Bill. Sir GEORGE CLARKE said this Bill, to- gether with other circumstances, gave the English Distiller many advantages over the Scotch, and he should therefore move that a clause be insert- ed in the Bill to remedy the defefl. The SPEAKER observed, that in the present stnteof the Bill, no clause could be received. The CHA- NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in reply to Sir John Newport, observed that the statements made were not founded in fed. If the Aft of Union were striftly carried into execu- tion, so great an advantage would be given to Scotland, as to be very injurious to Ireland. He further argued that the case put respecting linens was too extravagant, and that there was nothing to be dieaded from the dangeioils principle talk ed of, as tbe measure was one of mere necessity. Mr. C. HU TCHINSON adverted to a transac- tion in the teign of King William, when a mesi sage was sent to Parliament to destroy the wo. il- lso manufacturers of Ireland, And was it more extravagant to suppose that the present Ministers would endeavour to destroy the Linen trade? He admitted that Ireland had possessed advantages jo respect of the Distillery, but it was not fit that they should be taken away without an equivalent. No answer had been given to tbe assertion, that ins Union was violated. Sir JOHN NEWPORT explained. Mr. HERBERT maintained that if the Union had not taken place, Ireland would have become hostile to Great Britain.— ( Hear, hear).— He la- mented that he observed a disposition rather to separate than unite the countries.—( Hear, hear). He was certain that they should soon find it was their interest to remain united. The amendmcn's were then read and agreed to, and it was ordered th'ujthe Bill be read a third time to- morrow. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said he should, on Tuesday next, move for an aft to ascertain the population of Ireland, The House next went into Committees of Sup- ply, and Ways andMeans— inthe latter 2,000,000/. were voted out of the taxes.— Both reports to- morrow. Mr. WHARTON moved fnr an account of pay- ments in the Civil Lists, since May, 1804, which were brought up, with other papers moved for by Mr. Tierney - Adjourned. L/ ONDON, IVcdncsday, January 22. THE KING. An express was received yesterday from Wind- sor, at Carlton- house, stating, " Tnat his Majesty had a restless night," and his irritation had much increased." An express was received last night from Wind- sor, at Carlton- house, stating, 41 That his Majesty's irritation rather increased." ( Signed by four Physicians.) His Majesty is so much indisposed, that it has been thought necessary to have a relay of- horses on tne road in constant waiting, We received this morning the following letter from our Correspondent, at Windsor, stating, that the violence of the paroxym witi which his Majesty had been seized, had abated. " Windier, Jan. 21. " The strength of his Majesty's constitution has again withstood the attacks of the violent pa- roxysms of last week. To- day the King is mueh better in his bodily health, having enjoyed seve- ral hours sleep in the course of the last night; and in consequence the state of his mental ma- lady is more tranquilized." Yesterday the Prince Regent received a letter from one of the Princesses, with an account of the state of the King. The Report of the Committee of the House of Lords, appointed to examine his Majesty's Physicians, is printed. It does not differ in sub- stance from that of the Committe of the House of Commons. Dr. Heberden considers his Majesty's recovery improbable, but not hopeless. He does not ex- pect the King will recover. Dr. Monro considers the present mental health of his Majesty insane ; his recovery very impro- bable, but he does not entirely despair. Dr. Symons says, that his Majesty's mental Jjealjh is much deranged— his recovery improba- ble, but not hopeless. Dr. John Willis says, that his Majesty's men- tal health is in a high degree of derangement, and his recovery very isnpiobable, but not im- possible ; has not an expectation of recovery. Dr. Bailie states, that within the last two or three days ( the examination was on the l- l< th) his Majesty's mind has been entirely lost in error j does not expect recovery. Sir H. Haiford deems recovery very improba- ble. Dr. R. Willis considers recovery all but im- possible. His Royal Highness die Prince Regent gave au- dience yesterday to the Earl of Moira and Mr. Adam. Mr. Perceval had also an audience of his Royal Highness. Mr. Perceval gave a grand dinner on Monday last, at his house in Downing- street. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had received a card of invitation, but his Royal Highness sent a mes- senger he could not attend. The Arabella packet, which brought the Lis- bon mail received yesterday, spoke his Majesty's ship Leonidas, which had chaced, on the 14th inst. off Sc'iWy, a French schooner privateer, of 18 guns; but th- privateer, by her superior sail- ing ( after throwing tier guns overboard), escaped. The Dnke of Kent was at Lisbon, and expected to sail the 5th inst. The extra ship Carmarthen, from Bombay, ar- rived in tbe Downs, the 21st inst. ; safiM from St. Helena the 20th November, in company • with the country ship Bheemolah, from Bengal, ana the Marv whaler, which ships are also arrived. The Bheemolah touched at the Isle of France, sailed ftom thence the 11th of October, and ar- rived at St. Helena on the 15th ot Novsmber- The Union R. ulkin, arrived at Bombay on the 24th --. f July. The Princes Amelia, Taunton Castle, and Hope, sailed from Madras for China on the 4th Septem- ber. The ships from Madras had arrived in Sau- gur Roads, viz. the Castle- Eden, Carnatic, Rose, and Metcalfe. , 1 The greatest activity prevails at the respective dock- yards at present. Many new line- of- battle ships are ordered to be built; others in a great state of forwardness completed, and no Captain is allowed leave of absence from his ship lor more than a w » ek. We think it right to state, that Williams, the suicide, was not a native of Ireland, but an Eng- lish man, born at Coggeshall, in Essex.—[ Morn- ing Herald. A singular circumstance yesterday occurred at the Old Bailey— a man was indicted for the com- mission of a rape, and his wife, for assisting and abetting him. FATAL ACCIDENTS.— A servant of Mr. W. Cavendish ( son of Lord G. and Member for Derby) arrived in town yesterday with the me- lancholy account of the death of his master, oc- casioned by a fall from his^ uggy, when returning from a shooting party, in company with Mr. C. Cavendish, a younger brother, and Mr. Smith, his late tutor. The horse having taken fright, Mr. Cavendish was pitched on his head, and is supposed to have received a kick on the same parr, % s he ntvt; spoke after the accident. BRAVERY. The Sicilian and Gilv- a'tar P » pers brought hy the last Picket, were deliven- d at a late hour on Wednesday. The following are extrafts of tbe most material articles thsy supply :— " ORDER OF THE DAY. " Head- quarters, Messina, Nov. 10. " Lieut.- G° n. Maitland feels the greatest sati-- faftion in notifying t& the Army, tbe bravery and good condnfl of a detachment of the62d regiment, consisting of 2.50 men, under the command of Major Darlejs ' jfhis detachment, with 50 royal marines, commanded by Lieut. Pipon, landed from the Iraperieuse and Thames, in face of the enemy, 1000 strong, commanded by Gen- Pigna- telli Cerelclara, attacked and carried the position oi" the enemy j and being themselves attacked, re- pulsed the enemy in a charge, driving him from his ground, and maintaining their position for two days. " They also took a convoy of nine gun boats, and twenty otfeer barks, laden with naval articles, which were in the ba^ r of Palinurus; two batteries were likewise taken, with a telegraphic tower.— The conduS of ail the officers and soldiers is con- sidered by Major Darley as being glorious and conspicut- ms. Lieut- General Maitland is very sensible that the intrepidity and judgment of Ma- jor Darley conduced the troops to this fortunate success; and he severally thanks the Major, and all the officers and soldiers, for their operations, which have been worthy of the reputation which this army has acquired." ISLE OF FRANCE. We learn by private letters from Port Louis ( Mauritius), of the 27th Oft, that Admiral Stop- ford, with the greater part of the fleet from Ba- tavia, have arrived there. The Admiral was to sail shortly for the Cape. The following is an extraft of a letter from a Naval Officer, of the above date :— " I seize the opportunity of writing, a « duty prevented me from doing so by the Minto ( brig). I am sorry to inform you that the two Frepch fri- gates which were, blockaded at Sourabaya have made their escape, The air of Batavia has been fatal to many of our brave fellows. It is a most beautiful place, the country uncommonly fine, and the buildings very grand. What a pity it should be so unhealthy. Admiral Stopford sails shortly for the Cape. His ship, the Scipion, will then go to England, and he will hoist his fl. tg on board the Lion. Capf. Beaver, of the Nisus, will ba the senior naval officer on thilstation. .-. Every article of necessity is extravagantly dear at this place. Blue cloth sells at £ 6 per yard, and every thing else is in proportion. The hurricane and rainy season is again coming on, but we have had very fine weather lately, only so exceedingly hot, that all the principal families are now retiring to their country seats."

On Monday last, Bills of Indiftment were found at the Surrey Sessions, against twelve persons, subjefts of the King, charged with being found, at the capture of the Isle of Frince, traitorously in arms against his Majesty. The 3d of February was fixed for the trials, in order to afford time for furnishing the prisoners with copies of their re- spective indictments, lists of the witnesses, & c. A few ijays ago, the passengers in a Yarmouth coach, going from the metropolis, were stopped at the toll- gate near Colchester, and on inquiring the cause uf delay, were informed that they had travelled tbe last stage, nine'miles ( through Kelt vedon) without coachman or guard.— After some time the careful servants arrived in a post- chaise. It appears that both of them had left the horses to go into a public- hous*, and after regaling them- selves, fduftd they had lost both coach and horses- Two other Yarmouth coaches passed the one with, out a driver, but took no other notice than enjoy, ing the " good joke " of lat? arrival. DREADFUL RETRIBUTION. The following instance of awful vengeance, Will contribute to shew what Napoleon will have to en- counter, and the determined resolution he will have to subdue, before- he can bring Spain into that abject submission in which he holds the rest of continental Europe. I give it in substance, from the mouth of a Spanish Gentleman and dis- tinguished patriot, of unblemished character, who assisted in performing ( he last and sad offices to the intrepid heroine. When the town of Naval Carnero, about 35 miles south of Madrid, was taken by the troops of the Imperial Spoiler, among the horrid butch- eries that succeeded, was the inhuman massacre of the father and mother of a lad/, named Ma- riana Samaniego. After the tumult of blood and murder had, in some measure subsided. Gen. Veluci and six of his officers, entering the house of the above lady, demanded refreshment. Pro- bably the resolution then first struck her mind.— In a short time the meal was ready and they pre- pared to eat, when one of the officers suggested the probability that it was poisoned, ( for, some thnes, when villages were deserted, whole vine- yards were poisoned, and numbers died by drink, ing,) but the firm and fearless Mariana, to avert suspicioh, offered to eat with them, and acccord- ly they sat down together. , After the meal, Mariana said to Veluci, " You murdered my father and mother, and in return I have destroyed you. In a short time you will all be dead ;" and, indeed, in a few hours they all expired ; a dreadful sacrifice to the manes of her parents and the freedom of her country, . But to crown all, the intrepid Samaniego, soon fell dead among the lifeless guests. While it is impossible to mourn for the fate of the minions of Napoleon, we cannot but lament the destiny of the heroic maid, and heave a sigh of regret that a country, once the greatest in the world, should become a prey to rapine, cruely, and blood. EDINBURGH, JANUARY 22. ' A young lad, about 15 years of age, servant in a farm- house about two miles north from Dun- fermline, went out, with two of his companions, in disguise, as is the common custom in Fife, on the last night of the old year, and get drink at differ- ent houses, until they were unable to manage themselves or assist one another. Two of them, however, got home ; but the other was found, at a little distance from his master's house, on Sun- day morning, frozen to the ground, with his clothes off rind lying beside him, having, it is sup- posed, stripped and laid himself down, imagining that he was going to bed. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.— On Monday night last, James M'Neil, at Drumberg, parish of Tor- thorwald, put en and to his life, by suspending himself by a rope, upon his own bedstead. To account for this rash act, is impossible, he being a man advanced in years ( 80 years of age), hav- ing aIWay& borne a fair character in the wotld.— Unembarrassed in money matters, and apparent- ly at peace with all mankind, his untimely exit strikes the minds of his acquaintance with horror I and regret.

PORTUGAL. Dispatches fsom Lord Wellington were receiv- ed in London on Wednesday ; they ate dated the , 25th tilt. HP to which period, no movement of OIK array had taken place. Head quarters were s'ilh at Freynada, and the sick list had considerably de. creased. A division of the army of the enemy had retired beyond Placentia, in the direilion of Madrid. The French, with 11,000 troops, were closely besieging Tariffs, were constantly bombardi » g it from nine pieces of heavy anillery, and were ereil. ing batteries for more guns to play on thar place. The garrison of Tariffa consisted of about 800 English, under Colonel Cough, and 5000 Spanish - tsoops, who would defend it as long as possib'e; but it was expe& ed that the place must surrender to the enemy. A number of heavy guns and much ammunition had been sent there from G'b- raltar, and our gun- boats and snips of war wen using every exertion for its succour. General Ballasteros' head- quarters were at St. Roque. During the time the French were in possession of that piace, they destroyed every thing that they could not carry away ; and, while the inhabitants were forced to seek shelter under the guns of Gibraltar, they had been exposed to - every hardship.

The Federalists, neither great nor small, have uttered on word on the subje&. " Mr Calhoun i to spealc to- morrow. He is a new Member; rather eloquent in words, yet rapid in his delivery. " The Pesolutioa. will all pass, ^ ni nearly unanimously, n my opinion." The melancholy event in the family of Lord George Cav iidi- h, has occasioned the delay, for it few days, of the Motions to be made in Parlia- ment on the Catholic question. In the H> use of Loids, he motion is to bp rhade on Friday, the 51st ins! an', - and in the House of Commons on Mondav, the 3d of February. The following is a statement of the arms ship- pe 1 from the Tower, for Spain and Portugal, to the 31st of D e.- mbeT :— Spaio. " 37,000 muskets, 4B') 0 carbines, 86 ) 0 pistols, 101,000 sets of in- fra ry accoutrements, 50,. 000,000 ball- cartridges, 8,500,000 lead balls, 35 .900 powder barrels ;— Portugal. 4! iXXX) muckets » 600 carbines, 21,200 rifles, 8900' pistols, 50,000 sets of accoutrements, 18,607,000 ball- cartridges, 60,900 lead balls, and S009 powder barrels. We are informed, that persons of respectability in Banbridge have taken much pains to inquire through that neighbourhood respeiling Williams, alia* Mut phy, - acc . tsed of being concerned in the late mind'Js in London, who was stated to be bred iu that pan, but they cannot discover that he was from that par of the country, or has any relatives there. We have :-. vn favoured with the particulars of a let'er, dated the 27th of October, from an Eng- lish OfS - er at Mauritius, who had just returned from B itavia. The British troops at Mauritius and Bourbon w. re h.- akhy and in high spirits, and perfect tranquilli ••/ prevailed in these settle- men's, where nothing w . s apprehended but in the hurricane season, when the plantations are greatly endangered. It should seem, by the pre- parations hat a e making at Java, that it is the intention of the Anglo- Indian Government tore- tain possess! : of Batavia and its neighbourhood, at least dori^ the war. The forces of the island principally consisted of Sepoys, which were sta- tioned at.-> f ort or Palace about three miles from Batavia, " on tEe road to B « nts. r » , wd-. ick is con- sid red f0 ^ healthiest spot in the vicinity ; but it is utterly impossible, in this baleful region, by any precautions human wisdom can devise, to prevent extensive destruction among those who may be employed on this perilous duty. Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Hardy, of Water- ford ( Inspecting Field. Oflicer of Yeomanry and Volunteers in Gra ft Britain), has been appointed Inspec ing Field; Officer of Yeomanry and Volun- teers in Ireland, with the rank of Lieut- Colonel, vice Godfrey, deceased.

General J. Le Conteur, placed on the S aff • t Jamaica. In consequence of the spirited zeal evinced on many occasions by the Ross- Castle corps of Yeo- manrv, under the command of Captain D'Alt in, in preserving the public peace at fairs, escorting prisoneis. and other acts of voluntary service, his Grace tie Lord Lieuteintnt to mark his appro- bation of such worthy conduct, has ordered one months full pay to be bestowed on each non- com- missioned officer and private of the above corp\ The crews of the St. George and Defence, con- sisted of upwards of 1300 excellent seamen, be- sides Officers, among wh < m we enumerate the fol- lowing : Officers of th?

ANDROIDES.— This Exhibition, wonderful in its c instruction, and productive of great satisfafiion and innocent mirth to its numerous visitors, con- tinue to attrafl public attention and patronage.— • A h: gh « Bcey occurred at the representation last v - k: A ' fiady's lap- dog, with its fore feet on the h md- rail of tlie from b > i, took umbrage at the ^. irking of the little, dog stationed at the door of the fruitery. to prot'eft'the fruit— the barking be- tw£ en the two caught tbe- public attention, and l. iughter, wonder and plaudits, suspended, all ex- hibition for nearly ten minutes.

All are the result of the Continental System, for it was the wish, in defiance of the season, of remaining in the Baltic, and letting their convoys land their goods up- on the Swedish and Danish coasts, that has caused them such considerable losses. It is reckoned that since the 1st of November the English have lost five ships of war, of which two were three- deckers, three frigates and five or six brigs, independent of a great « timber of merchant vessels. REPORT TO MIS EXCELLENCY THI MINISTER OF MARINE. '< Road of Isle d'Aix, Dec, 28, 1811. " MoNStiONEUR— I have the honour to inform your Excellency, that vesterday, at nine at night, a small convoy, coming from Rochcdle, was pursued by five boats of the English squadron, which obliged the coasters t » take shelter - close in- shere in the t'ay comprehended between Rochelle and the Isle d'Aix. The wind was pretty fresh from N. to N. W. » nd there was soon a high sea. I quickly formed the projjCt of cutting off the retreat of these five boats, but in order to induce them to advance I made no movements in the boats with which I intended to attack them, rill they had evidently compromised themselves, and the apparent inatten- tion encouraged them to advance still further. " I then ordered the gun- boats 18t>, 191, and 184, under the command of M. Dure, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, and four ships' boats, under the orders of M. Constantin, to be got ready, and sailed in such a direction as to, cut off the retreat of the enemy's flotilla. " As soon as the English. squadron perceived this move- ment, a ship, two frigates, and a brig, sailed to disengage their boati;' the brig, supported by the ship, at a trifling distance, fired upon the gull- boats, which briskly replied to it several titties. H Pur'ng ' his time M Constantin attacked the largest of the enemy's boats, near her own vessels, and almost under the fire of the brig, and took it. The gun boats surrounded the o'her four, which they took, after a very great resistance. " Nipbi and very stormy weather, having immediately succeeded this expedition, my boats have been dispersed upon different points of this coast, where I see them, but cannot, by this courier, transmit your Excellency all the details of this affair; I reckon, nevertheless, that 100 prisoners, all picked men, of the English squadron, at least, must have been token in it.— I beg your Excellency to accept my pro- found respeCt. u xhe Commandant of the naval forces of his Majesty, ( Signed) " JACOB." TO THE SAME. « Isle d'Aix, JOth December. - MoNsrlONEt'S— I bad the honour, in mv letter of the 3Bth instant, to inform you of the taking of five bo. ts he. longing to the English squadron, which I suppose were man- tled by 100 men; there were 118 on board them. " A violent gale, which commenced immediately after this affair, having dispersed my boats, I did not know the details till last night; I hasten t* transmit them to your Ex- cellency. " The Enseigne de Vaisseau, M. Constantin, commanded a boat with 22 men, with which he attacked one manned with 30, at the moment the enemy's division, which rallied, W s cming to proeil them. " This Officer had engaged with hit swivels and musVets, but fearing the enemy should escape him, he ordered him to be laid on board. ' 1 he English, confident iu their superiority of numbers, rushed to tile boarding, but M. Constantin jumped among them and drove ' hem to the opposite side of their boat, which this movement caused t* fill; the French gained their boat, and succeeded in saving 26 men, one of whom was a volunteer, and another a surgeon. The Of- ficer commanding the boat was killed, and three men dan gerously woueied. " During t'ds aClion the three gun- boats attacked the ion other » , « ts all armed with carronadss, swivels, and muskets The Lieutenant de Vaisseau Dun, keeping at the tauie time in check tile English brig, which endeavoured to droteS the boats, took one with 18 men, two of wi,- m were volunteers; the three others, annoyed hy my hoj commanded by the volunteer of the first class, Porgi, pierced j with bullets, and n. arly sinking, arrived upon the coast, j where he pursued and made prisoners the crews, amounting to 70 men", one of whom w is an Officer, and five volunteers. " The result of this affair, Mon eigneur, Is the taking of five boats, and 118 men, two of whom are officers, eight volunteers, am! one surgeon. Out of this number one offi- cer and four sailors have been killed, two others died imme- diately after, and five remain dangerously wounded. It is likewise to be supposed that in the boats pierced with bul- lets, there must have been some men killed, who were thrown into the sea. ( Signed) « JACOB."

Mr. Justice Day then proceeded to charge them to the following effoct:— " Gentlemen of both Grand Juries— I do not know that I can open the juridical year in a manner more grateful to you or to myself, than by con- gratulating you upon the uninterrupted tranquil- lity and good order which have continued so long to characterize, under the peculiar circumstances of the times, this great metropolis and the popu- lous county which surrounds it.— Upon looking into your kalendars which are just put into my hands, it is highly satisfactory to see how moder- ate the number of prisoners is for trial, and how light, in general, the complexion of the offences charged upon those prisoners, with the exception of two or three who stand committed for a trea- sonable conspiracy. What the character of this charge shall turn out to be; whether it be the atrocious crime, which, upon its surface, it im- parts ; or only the crazy reveries, the waking dreams of a distempered drunken fanatic, I have not the means to anticipate, and if I hud, it would be highly unbecoming to do so but its prompt disclosure to tha Government does great credit to the Roman Catholic body, and argues, on their part, a quick and lively sensibility to character, and ( what is of great importance in these times) a laudable vigilance, an the part of the enlightened and morerespectable among them, to repress every seditious or dangerous movement among the ignorant and intemperate of their own communion. « This alleged conspiracy, in the heart of your city, the horrid and savage atrocities which have lately occurred in London, the stubborn excesses that hare raged without controul in one or two counties, even of that civilized and well regulated country— these are but some of the awful signs of the times, which demonstrate an alarming con- tempt of the laws, and decay of religion, morality, and public virtue, which mark the evil spirit that is abroad, and afford a solemn warning of the danger of magisterial relaxation, and of the indis- pensable necessity of a multiplied vigilance and activity through all the constituted authorities of the state. The atrocious and ever- to. be- lamented insurrection of 1803, burst out like a volcano in the midst of a profound calm. And therefore, j Gentlemen, the settled tranquillity which happily prevails through Ireland, would be, in truth, a , misfortune, and not a ground for exultation, if the Magistrates and Executive Authority were now, as at that disgraceful period, to be found asleep * t their posts, and not to maintain that watchfulness and incessant jealousy which our past sufferings ought naturally to inspire. In the same spirit let me earnestly recommend that the Ma- gistracy have a watchful eye upon those semina- ries of sedition, the public- houses of Dublin and iti yicinage, and to wilhdiaw their licences from all suspefted publicans, but particularly from such as keep their houses open at unseasonable hours. It would, in truth be a regulation of great public benefit to shut up all places of mean and obscure resort at an early hour. There can be no hard- ship in. requiring men to retire eatly to rest, who should rise early to earn their daily bread* It is in the dead of night, when all nature seeks repose, all but animals of prey, that conspirators assemble and hatch dark and Bloody crimes. And it is in those htft- beds of corruption that the first seeds of criminality and vice are sown, which afterwards ripen into full- blown gnilt, and find so much ex- ercise for our criminal tribunals. So also let me avail myself of this occasion, to warn the Sheriffs of both bailiwicks to take timely and vigorous pre- cautions against a recurrence of that disgraceful scene of tumult and wild uproar, which outraged this Court last Term, upon the trial of Dr. Sheri- dan. Some other trials of interest are appointed for certain days in this Term. The Law has vest- ed ample means in the Sheriffs for suppressing, and, what is more material, for guarding against all disorder; and this Court will hjld them seri. oasly responsible for maintaining that calm and dignified tranquillity, throughout the Term, which the sober administration of justice so imperiously demands." After hearing the Hon. Judge Day's charge, the Juries retired. FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. PHILADELPHIA, DEC, 12. The Committee on that part of the President's Message relative to the Navy Establishment, we understand, have agreed to report a Bill for the purpose of building six 7^' s, and twenty frigates, in addition to our present navy, You will perceive from the enclosed what we are coming to. We are to have the French sys. tem, and very properly therefore an American • Secretary adopts the French nomenclature, certi ficates of origin, & c. & c. & c. The resslutions of the Foreign Relation committee were up this day in the House of Representatives, and were opposed by Mr. Randolph with great force and eloquence. No question was taken and from appearances we shall have much fire and smoke, or smoke and lire to- morrow. The Federalists have taken no part in the discussion, and as far as I understand, will not: so that the administration will not be able to bolster themselves up with the country in their re- striClive system from an opposition to thei. efforts towards energy. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Nov. 16, 1811. SIR— The evasions of the non- importation aft appear to have principally arisen from three quar- ters. 1. Vessels. have arrived from ports not belong, ing to Great Britain, with merchandise of British growth or manufafture which has been entered as being of the growth or manufacture of other coun. tries. This is believed to have been by far the most fruitful source of evasions, and appears to have been, as yet, confined to vessels coming with colonial produce from St. Bartholomew, and Span- ish ports. 2 Coasting vessels, chiefly from the northern ports, have brought largo quantities of plainer of Paris, commonly taken on board in the waters of Passamaquoddy bay ; and it is suggested that they have also occasionally received there, or from vessels at sea, other species of British mer- chandise. 3. Merchandise has been illegally imported by land from Canada, and as it is believed, principal- ly through the State of Vermont. The official and direCt information received on that snbjeCt is not very extensivs. Verbal or pri- vate communications have been made to me, more in the shape of suggestions than founded on a positive knowledge of the fafts. Still that eva- sions have taken place in the manner above stated is sufficiently established. But I am induced to be- lieve, that with the exception of rum brought in from St. Bartholomew, and of plaister of Paris from New Brunswick, the amount of merchandise actually smuggled is not very considerable. Ex- c'usively of special instructions applicable to par- ticular cases, and of the employment of cutters, boats and men, the general measures adopted for checking and preventing those illegal attempts, were incorporated, and will be found in the two enclosed circulars.' But some further provisions appear necessary ; and I beg leave to submit the following suggestions: I. With respeft to the importation of British articles under colour of their being the produce of other cotiiiiries. itwo efficient modes may be adopt- ed : I, to admit no . such articles after a certain date, unless accompanied with a certificate of ori- gin from the American consul, or commercial agent, at the port of exportation ; 2, to direft a summary mode, by sworn examiners, to decide, at the time of arrival, on the origin of the article, which decision shall be admitted as conclusive evi- dence in case of trial. II. In relation to coasting vessels, it is propos. ed— 1, that they should be obliged to enter and clear, though ostensibly bound to another port on the same or an adjacent state, making only the proper exceptions in favour of packets and of ves- sels employed solely within the same. III. The situation of Passamaquoddy seems to require some special provisions, such as to forbid altogether the importation of any foreign article from that port into* any other port of the United States, and not to suffer any vessels to go there without special permission from the President Similar provisions may also be useful with respeft to St. Mary's, in Georgia. IV. It is believed that the prevention of smug- gling from Canada depends more on the vigilance and activity of the collectors, and persons employed by them, than on any additional legal provision. It seems, however, necessary to extend generally to inspectors the power of searching houses, which, by the collection law, is given only to the collec- tors, or persons aCting under a special appointment for each case. It has also been suggested that a pet mission to import salt from Canada would, in other respeCIs, facilitate the execution of the law. V. It is not known that vessels laden with salt, and coming from Lisbon and other places, have brought any forbidden articles; but tke facility of concealment, the article being now duty- free, and neii her measured or examined, is obvious ; and it sug £?<; ts the propriety of directing that . salt should be r peasured, or weighed, as if liable to dtity. 1 here are some other improvements, of a more geniiral and permanent nature, to which the atten- tion cf this department h s been more forcibly cal- led t> y the restriClive laws, and which I will also beg leave to suggest. The superintendance of the treasury over the collectors, for the purpose- of producin g uniform- ity in every respeCt. and of obtaining early infor- mation of delinquencies, unfaithfulness, or ne- gleCt, would be much more prompt and efficient wi h the aid of some officers, who should, once or twice a year, visit all the custom- houses, examine the books, the manner of ascertaining duties, and generally the conduft of the c . lleftors, and report to the treasury. I believe four such effi cers would be sufficient, and that, exclusively of other advantages, the delinquencies they would prevent woold more than pay their compensation. The importance of promptly ascertaining the want of vigilance of a single collector, is at this time obvious. The mode of appraising merchandize seized by collectors, and restored by order of a court, re- quires revision. It is defined only in cases arising under the collection law, and in all others is left altogether to the discretion of each separate dis. trift court. In all cases, it seems necessary and just that the invoices should be produced and the true value ascertained in the same manner as is provided for ascertaining duties; that the duties should in every instance be secured ; and that the security given for the value appraised should be indisputable, and approved by the collector or dis- trict attorney. Another evil of great magnitude arises from the want of a sufficient remedy in the case of ina- bility of the district judge to perform the duties of the office. The only provision in force is a trans- fer of suits to the circuit court, which, in states where that court is already overburthened with business is altogether inefficient. The enclosed letter marked ( D) will shew the extent of the in- convenience in one of the districts. The northern frontier of the United States, from Lake Champlain to Lake Erie, includes seven districts, viz. Champlain, Oswegatchie, Sackets Harbour, Oswego, Genesee, Niagara and Buffaloe Creek, all in the state of New- York. The distance from the city of* New- York, where alone the dis- trict court is held, and that court having more business than any other in the United States, is one of the greatest obstacles to the execution of the revenue laws. In faCt, a district court " is, in that respeft, as necessary on that frontier as on the Atlantic coast. I have the honour to be, & c. ALBERT GALLATIM. WARLIKE RESOLUTIONS. The Rev. John Gemmil, formerly a Presbyte- rian Clergyman, and lately elefted a Senator in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, from Chester County, has submitted the following Warlike Re- solution. to the Senate :— R-' csIutions relative to the Proceedings of the General Go- vernment with th* Belligerent Powers; read in Senate, December 6. The present, is a period, replete with national occurrences, as momentous as ever marked the annals of the world. That collision of Kingdoms and Empires, which has deluged Europe with blood, borne down the praftice and nearly extin- guished the principles of justice and humanity, is not, in itseffeCls, confined to that unhappy quarter of the globe. The unparralleled prosperity, the enterprising spirit, and the expanding commerce of the United States of America, have rendered them, to the two mighty Belligerents, an objeft of envy, and a medium of retaliation, pretended,, as to one, and iniquitous to both. The Emperor of the French has yet much to do, before the just claims of our country can be satisfied : but he has annulled those Decrejs which were the only legal obstruction to a friendly and commercial intercourse with his dominions. He has annulled those very Decrees, on which the British Government solemnly declared its Orders in Council not to be suspended. To the British Government, and to the world, be has evinced the extinguishment of those Decrees, by the united evidence of solemn profession and uniform practice. But have the Orders in Council expired with . the French Decrees ? No. Compared with their prior, their subsequent operation has been as life from dea'h. They have been executed with re- doubled vigor. Our seamen impressed : our citi- zens robbed : our flag prostrated : our own waters infested: our coasting trade annoyed: our har- bours blockaded. While maritime oppression has thus risen to its summit, an Envoy Extraordinary is sent to our Government, not ( as might have been reasonably expefted) to soften our irritated country, by con- ciliatory language; not to offer atonement for of- fences, and indemnifications for wrongs that are past— These, with a single exception, he passes over as things beneath the notice of the British Government or its Envoy; or as injuries to which the inexhaustible forbearance, the presumed timi- dity, or the abjeft debasement of the American Government, would ensure her silent submission. He commences a new species and system of insult. He prescribes to the President what he shall re- commend, and what the National Legislature shall enaft. He demands a law which shall ad- mit the products and manufactures of Great Bri- tain into the ports of the United S » ates ; although American manufactures are, even in time of Peace, excluded from the British Dominions. He com- mands the American Government to procure, of the Emperor Napoleon, an abandonment of his Continental System, and the admission of British products and manufactures into his own and the ports of his Allies. A compliance with the first of these demands, is a relinquishment of Sovereignty. To fulfil the latter, the United States have neither right nor power, nor the folly to attempt. The first is de- grading— the second impossible ^ and yet a sub- mission to these royal mandates is menacingly de- clared to be the only condition on which the Or. ders in Council shall be repealed, and the violation of our neutral rights discontinued,. | Solemnly impressed wi h these considerations, and contemplating demands so unjust, so unrea, sonable, so disrespectful to the intelligence, and so insulting in the Sovereignty, of an enlightened^ < free, and independent People; We, the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in Ge- neral Assembly met, do adopt the Mowing Re- solutions :—. 1. Resolved, that the policy of the British Go- jj- vernmsnt, as exhibited by her naval power on the hieh seas, and expressed by her Envoy to the United States, merits the reprobation, and can- not but rouse the virtuous indignation of every friend to this Country and its Government. 2. Resolved, that when submission or resist- ance, to the unjust demands of a Tyy. tnt, is the alternative, the latter only can be clwsen by the Freemen of America. 3. Resolved, That although we would rejoice in the adoption and practice of justice, which, would secure to Great Britain, our friendship anil friendly intercourse, we will, in order to repeal aggression and obtain reparation, vigorously exert all the powers which we possess, to acc. de- rate the accomplishment of such military pre- parations, as the wisdom of our national legisla- ture may require. 4. Resolved, That it k our duty as Legislators, to employ a suitable portion of the finances ofritis Commonwealth, iwpromoting thegrowthand pros- perity, and securing the permanence of our infant manufactures - r that as individuals of the commu- nity, we will, as much as possible, abstain from wearing any thing but the produft of these ma- nufadures ; and that we will recommend the same patriotic praOice to our constituents. 5. Resolved, That the question merits'serious, consideration whether, in order to suppress the system of plunder and impressment oa the higU seas, it would, or would not be a just, humane, and efficient retaliation to lay hold on property of the British Government or of its subjects, wher- ever such property can be found, to an amotinf sufficient to indemnify the plundered American r and for every impressed American citizen, to seize a subjeft of his Britannic Majesty wherever such subjeft can be. found, and to subject him to imprisonment and labour corresponding to the condition of the impressed American, on board, of a British ship of war. 6. Resolved, That the wisdom, patriotism tind firmness of the Executive aud Councils of the General Government, entitle them to our confi- dence, and their measures to our prompt and eealous co- operation. 7. Resolved, that the Governor of this Com- monwealth be instructed to transmit a copy of these Resolutions to the President of the United States, with a request to communicate them to Congress. ) —. - I .* - aiL. lL x TRAITOROUS CORRESPONDENCE. London, Jan. 9.0. The French General Simon, stHing himseif a Baron of the Empire, and decorated with the Grand Cross of the Le- gion of Honour, one of Bonaparte's accompli,!'' d Generals, who, in violation of his par « ie ui honour, absconded from Odiham, and is charged with being concerned with other* in carrying; on a traitorous correspondence, has hero talcen ' Vickery, the Bow- street Officer. He was found in the coal- isole of a hotu* in Camdorj- town. In th* same l\ ouse w;. » also taken M. Boyson, a surgeon, who was couccrned with, and escaped at the same time as the General. They were conveyed to T » thill- fields, Bridewell. In the evening a French woman, in the same house, was apprehended anit conveyed to Bow street, on a charge of having harboured them.— It wa » through a correspondence with the Frencl* Government, that a French Officer, who h- id conducted him- self with pereiSt honour in this kingdom, and was allow,;,! to return to his countrv, was seized immediately un his arri- val at Moriaix, and shot. His sole offence, we hear, was, that he expressed himself ashamed of tile mantiCT in which many French Officers had vialated their parole of honour ; aud these expressions were conveyed ta Bonaparte, whj or- dered liitn so be shot instantly ! [ FURTHER PARTICULARS.] A Gentleman from the Transport Office discovered the- traitorous correspondence of General Simon and Surgeor* Boiron, with the French Government respecting the landing of a considerable number of troops on the coast of Cornwall. General Simon, it is said, undertook to arrange with the pri- soners here to join them. On We( Uvesday morning, having received information that two foreigners answering their description had been seen at Richmond, the Officers went; there, and on inquiry found that two foreign Gentlemen had. been there in a post chaise, but were satisfied they were rvrtr the men they wanted. They then went to Hounslow, sup- posing they would cross the country there from Odiham to, the coast of Sent. There they heard of Frenchmen in . r post chaise to town, who answered the description in every respefl. They traced them to the corner of Dover- street,. Piccadilly, where all farther clue was lost. It then occurred^, that they might have gone to a French Doctor's in Dover- itreet, who had been suspe. ted of corresponding with Gen. Simon They had called there, but remained a short time. The officers thenjv/ ent to Madame Gio « ( proprietor of the diligence which used to 7un to Paris), in Great Pulteiiey- street, where they found three Frenchmen, and they con- cluded one of them was Simon. They ascertained that neither of them was he ; but discovered that the were ail • officers who had broke their parole, ami in consequence- took them into custody and lodged tljem in Tothill- fiields. The officers afterwards went to a house in Pratt-^ treel,. Camden- town, gave a single knock at the door, and were answered by a female servant in the area, fhe officer who knocked at the door told her he wanted to speak to she Gentlemen who lodged there; she denied any being there, and refused to open the door. The officers surrounded the house; they got upon the garden wall behind, and by the light of some candles, saw some men in the back parlour, who disappeared, and the candles were put out. Lavender went a short time alter, and knocked at the door; the girl answer- ed him from the area ; and he told her he had got a letter fos the lady of the house, which he must deliver to her; the girl refused; Lavender then thretened to shoot her, if » he did not; but she was net to be intimidated, and dared him to it. Mean time the other officers got over the wall be- hind, and found the General and his companion Boiron in a dark kitchen. On Saturday the Mistress of the bouse, who is a French woman, and the servant girl, underwent an ex amination before Mr. Nlires. In consequence the above dis- covery, a number of Frenchmen who corresponded with General Simon, have keen lodged in Tothill- field", Bridge- well, and were on Saturday removed thence to a prison- ship at Chatham.
