GAMING- HOUSES.— In consequence of an infor- mation that unlawful games were carried on at a house in Pall Mall, Adk'ras, accompanied by se- veral officers and others, were dispatched there on Thursday night with a warrant to search the house, and apprehend all in it. They got to the house about half past ten o'clock, and found no difficulty in gaining admittance; but a general scene of scuffle ensued between the persons as- sembled round the gambling- tables and the offi- cers. A man who we understand to be a gentle man of rank, made his escape out at the window. An Officer in the Gtlirds In a desperate e » rort escaped out of the room, met Admins on the stairs, and being a powerful man, knocked the Officer down and eventually escaped. Another Officer in the Guards, in the general scene of confusion and scuffle, got a black eye, his coat tore, and robbed of £ 90. Salmon, who was one who as- sisted in executing the Warrant, was seized by the back of his neck, so as to prevent him nearly from moving, he heard a voice call out to sh ot him ; he wis nearly chocked till Perry came to assist him. On Friday, the parties secured were brought to the above Office, and underwent an examination before Mr. Nares. Adkins confirm- ed the above, and said, Mr. P. Rewbelt was mas- ter of the house, and that there had been play in the house on that night. Salmon produced a quantity of playing red cards and silver counters, that pass for 10s. in that house; the cloth, whieh covered the large gaming- table, was ornamented with yellow and red stripes, which could not he explained ; a very large round aperture was in the middle, which was for what is called the well. A 20d. Fleet note was stuck up in the middle of the gambling- room, with a written notice underneath it, stat- ing, that it had been taken on the 11th of May, in that room for a £ 20. note. When the Officers first entered the room, a number of men were sitting round the table, with a large chandelier on it, who, the Officers had no doubt, had been playing, and from the above cir- cumstances, they formed their opinion.— After the evidence of the Officers was gone through, Mr. Alley called upon them to produce the money that had been taken from the room.. They all declared that they had produced every thing that they had seized. Mr. Alley said, he did not mean the slightest imputation upon the Offieers, but he pledged himself that about £ 500 had been taken or stolen from the room, < 400 i from off the table, and £ 90 forcibly taken out of an Officer of the Guards pocket. He disclaimed all suspicion of the Officers, but acknowledged that his suspicions were against some person or persons who accompanied them, and strongly suspected the informer. Adkins declared, that no person had accom- panied him but those belonging to the Office- He said, when it was known that Officers were in the room, a general scramble took place fa- what was on the table, & c. and he had no doubt, that whatever was taken off the table, was done by some person or persons who were in the room previous to his entering. One of them escaped out of the window,—- Mr. Alley observed, that as to the person who had etcaped out of the win- dow, he knew him to be a man of rank and honour, and therefore could not suspect him of taking the property away.—- Mr. Nares observed, this proved the description of persons who resort ed to the house— Mr. Alley said, they should offer a reward for the recovery of the money The Learned Gentleman then addressed the Ma. gistrate, and said, he presumed this business would be disposed of as had been customary for some time past, by holding the persons to bail who were in custody, under the Act of Henry VIII. made for such cases— Mr. Nares enter, tained some doubts upon that subject.— Mr, Alley then argued upon the weakness of the ease, in going for the £ 200 penalties for playing at unlawf ul games 5 and contended, that if that was the object, they ought to know who the in- former was, he being entitled to one- third of the penalty, and they might bd able to prove him an incompetent witness in several ways. Mr. Adolphus followed on the same side. Mr. Nares said he should hold the parties to bail under the a « ft of Henry the Eighth, reserving to himself the further consideration as to whether he should proceed against the parties for the pe- nalties from the evidence givet before him that day.— P. Rewbell, tbe keeper of the house, was in consequence held fo bail, himself in < 200, and two sureties in < 100 each, for his good behaviour, and not to be found in a gambling- house for 12 months. R. Bennet, W. He** etson, and T. Carlos, sus- pefted of being concerned in the conducting and managing of the house, were held to bail, them, selves in < 100 each, and two sureties in < 50, on similar conditions.

( 921 The Hind revenue cutier, of Falmouth, com- manded by Mr. Bowden, the Mate, fell in with a French lugger privateer, on Thursday evening, about six miles East of the Dudman, with a brig in company, her prize. The Hind immediately commenced a close a& ion, during which the ene- my fell along- side, and attempted to carry the cutter by boarding, but met wiih such resistance that two of her masts were soon carried away, and the cutter's crew carried her in the most gal lant style by boarding. On taking possession, she proved to be the French lugger privateer L'ln comparable, of St. Maloes, last from Roscoff, armed with 14 guns, 12rpounders, and 53 men on board.— During the adion, she had seven kil led, and nine wounded ; and, owing to the fire fiom, and falling on board, the Hind, blowing a gale of wind at the time, with a heavy sea), she received * o much damage that she toon be- came in a sinking state, and with the water over her ballast, and it getting dark, it was with some difficulty that the Hind's men, who had taken po - sesion of her, with the Captain of the privateer, his first officer, and some of the crew, were . got out of her ; the remainder, it is feared, went down in the privateer. On the first appearance of the cutter, the prt. vateer made a signal to the Frenchmen who had taken passession of the brig ( consisting of 12 per- sons), to rejoin the privateer; but, by the quick approach of ' he cutter, they were prevented, and the sea ran very high towards night, and it hav- ing become very dark, it is feared that the boat foundered with them. The name of the brig is not known j she proceeded on her voyage with her foimer crew, which were not exchanged, the Hind having previously hailed her, and directed ihe Master to proceed to the nearest Purt. The University of Parma has been suppressed in consequence of the extension of the French sys- tem of public instruction to the Department be- yond the Alps. PARLIAMENT, REPORT. [ A Morning Paper gives the following as the - substance of the conversation in the House of Lords on Friday last.] Lord Mom A stated, that he gnve the fullest cie- dit to Lords Grey and Grenville, for the purity of the sentiment that guided them in their late transac- tions ; and required only the same admission for him- self. He thought his case fully made out by the pa- pers ; but had heard that a construction, different from his, had heen put on the last minute; and if his Noble Friend maintained that, he was glad to be able to meet it there. Lord GREY came prepared to give a full explana- tion, and complained that he and his friends were de- prived of justice by the exclusion of strangers. With resfect to the last minute of conversation, he was rea- dy to state the construction that he put upon it, though at variance with one that had been industrious- ly given to the public. It had been said, that he and Lord Grenville had acted upon a settled design of humiliating the Prince Regent, and of irritating his feelings. He disclaimed this as a most foul calumny, and utterly unfounded in truth. He further observed, that it had been said that the question of the Household was proposed to be forced on the Prince as a previous preliminary step— this he utterly denied, and said that it was never in- tended to propose the subject to the Prince, until the change of the great Officers of the Household should be submitted to his Royal Highness for his approba- tion, as a part of the general arrangement of the new administration. The subject was stated as a preliminary question to Lord Moira, and was necessary, because it had been distinctly announced to them ( Grey and Gren- ville) from authority, that it was resolved to maintain these officers. Would it have been right to risk more embarrassment to public affairs, or was he not bound to put such a previous question to his Noble friend ? He considered their removal to be necessary. He had never heard of the intended resignation of the Household from any thing in the shape of autho- rity,, and the loose rumour he did hear was immedi- ately contradicted. Nothing could be farther from their intentions, than to do any thing that could be offensive to the Prince. They required only the changes that had been usual on a change of Go- vernment. If they could have believed the resigna- tion to be about to take place, they would have been perfectly satisfied, Lord MOIRA declared, he never suspected that there was in their minds any thing so injurious to the country, as a feeling of disrespect to the Prince.— He differed, however, in the construction of the mi- nute, and referred to the words of his answer, that " it vioidd be impossible for him ( Lord Moira J, however, to concur in making the exercise of this power positive aad indispensible;"— and argued that the previous conversation must have rendered those words necessary. His objection was to the establish- ment of a previous condition. It was secured by the full powers be had, that the removal of those officers might take place if requested. He had al- ways objected to removals in the Household, and Could refer to a letter of his own published 15 years ago, as a proof. He put the argument to their feelings, and gave it as bis opinion, that the removal of those officers would have been an unnecessary humiliation of the Prince, and would set the seal of office to accredit every tale of scandal that had been circulated. The report of the intended resignation by certain Lords of the Household had been regarded by him as an impatient ebullition of heat, which did not bind men to act upon it. He considered it as a menace to de- ter him from bringing forward into Administration Lords Grey and Grenville. If he had known it more authentically, he would have kept it back f? om them out of pure respect, from a persuasion that they would scorn to give up the assertion of a principl and avail themselves of the resignation as a subter- fuge to smooth their way to power, Lord ERSKINE said, Lord Grey and Lord Gren ville must have adverted to all the circumstances of last year and of the present, and it was incumbent on them to see that they had all the securities that had beeo usual upon changes of administration, to enable them to cany on the ( unctions of Government with effect, The removal of the Household was to be part of tl « new arrangement. He understood tlvat the lirst act of the new Administration must be the removal of those officers. The question was proposed from ex cess of candour, because it was known that Lord Moira had strong objections to it. Lord M. had the power to make or to refuse to make the new Admi nistration, and from the words of his answer, that " he could not CONCUR in making the exercise of this positive and indispeiuible in the formation of the Ad- ministration," he agreed that he thought Lord Moiia circulated with respect to the Prince, and also that it would encourage the slanders against tli03e wliaru his Roy il Highness wis particularly buund to protect. That with the knowledge, that sujii removals were to be the first act of the Administration, he could not concur in farming it. Loid MOIRA asked, if he had not inserted the word ' indispensi.(> le' to mark the sense more strongly f Lord ERSKIN'E contended, that the word " indi » •- pemil/ le" added nothing to the meaning of the word " positive." Lord HS\ DFOUT rose to confirm what had been stated in another place by Lord Yarmouth, that in a conversation long prior to the interruption of the ne- < ociations, the Great Officers of the Household had declared their determination to resign if Lords Grey and Grenville came into the Administration. Earl SPHNCUR said that lie entertained the same opinion wth his Noble Friends, that it was a vital principle in the formation of an Administration, that it should have the full, and evident coefidence of the crown. He not only concurred in their views, but had strongly advised their measure., For- in a con- versation with Lord Moira, some days before his No- ble Friends met him, he had entered into a full dis- cussion of the question, and heard all his arguments, and knew the " extent and strength of the objection* Lord Moira felt to the removal of the Household, - He thought it his duty to apprize his N. Friends of Lord Moira's objections, and that with the know- ledge that his opinions were directly contrary to theirs, it was indispensibly necessary that they should bring forward that question in the first mstmce. Lord GKKNVILLE stated, that they distinctly ex- pressed their opinion, that in the arrangements of the Government, the changes to be made in the House- hold should be submitted to the Prince, not as a pre- liminary point, but as a part of those arrangements ubject to his Royal Highnesi's approbation. They knew that they differed from Lord Moira upon few points, but upon the question of the changes in tile Household, they knew his opinion to be different from theirs, and candour requited tlvat they should state that question and bring it forward. No inzn could believe he could have a wish to degrade the Prince. He indignantly disclaimed the imputation that had been thrown out against them. It now appeared that the great Officers of the Household had entertained an opinion, that upon a otal change of system it became them not to hold their situations ; but he must also observe,- that they thereby distinctly recognized the principle stated in this paper—" that tbe connection of the great Offi- cers of the Court with the political Administration should be clearly established in it* lirst arrangement." He must claim the benefit of the fact, that he was utterly ignorant of such resolution. Notwithstanding what Lord Moira had said upon that subject, he must consider it as most unfortunate, if that intention to resign was entertained that the communication of it was withheld from those who, if they had possessed that knowledge would have been relieved from the difficelty, the existence of which precluded all further progress in the conversation.— The CHANCELLOR concluded the conversation, by deprecating discussions of that nature, as tending to embarass the Prince in the formation of all future Administrations, and conjured the House to put aa end to them for the present by adjourning. " ROMAN CATHOLICS* HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY, JUNE 23. Maiquis WELLESLEY rose for the purpose pose of adverting to a subject of the greatest im- portance, he meant the claims of the Roman Ca. tholics. It appeared to him to be proper, at the earliest practicable period in the beginning of the next Session, to attempt a final adjustment and conclusion of the whole of the differences with his Majesty's Catholic subjects ; and for that pur- pose h should bring forward a motion as soon at possible, which would be on Wednesday se'n- night, when he would submit his sentiments to the consideration of the House ; and he should also move that, for that day their Lordships be sum- moned. Lord GREY took this opportunity of assuring the House that such aques ion would, on that oc- casion, and all others, receive his most hearty sup. port, since what was claimed by the Ca. holies was a single act of justice, and he could not help con. gratulating himself and the country, at the high auspices under which it was brought forward. It was now five years since the present Parliament met, and the House could not have forgotten the circumstance under which the former Parliament was dismissed. His Lordship was p oceeding t « apply the subject to the Mutiny Bill, when he wa » interrupted by The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, who spoke to Order. The Lord CHANCELLOR censured such proceedings, which must necessarily lead to de- bate. Lord ROSLYN insisted that his Noble Friend ( Lord Grey) was in Order. After a few words from the woolsack, Lord Grey said he should reserve himself for the ap* proaching discussion. Upon the question of the House being sum- moned on the motion of Marquii Wellesley, Lord GREY resumed his former observations, and concluded with congratulating the country on teeing so important a subject confided to such hands. Lord STANHOPE gave notice that he should within two days, mention a time fir taking into consideration a Bill in favour of the Dissenters. Lord GROSVENOR, after tome remarks from Lord Darnley and the Lord Chancellor, withdrew his motion on the State of the N- ttion. The Duke of NORFOLK said, that it was hit must have understood, not that the removal was to be inten ion to move the immediate and total Eman- cipation of tbe Catholics. In sequel it was ordered, that the House be symmmed 011 Wednesday se'nnighi. The House went icto a Committee on tbe Cu. rate's Bill, ia which it was tagaged „ t - j^. j^ ovr bf p'. St. proposed as a previous stipulation to the Prince, but a » a point stated, to his Lordship as to be a funda- mental and necessary part , of the new arrangement wl. eo tt should be formed.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, that having frit cnn- slderable anxietv with repard to the course which It wa= the Intention of Ministers to pursue on this snbjefl, it was peculiarly gratifying to him to learn, that an Order had that dav been issued bv the Prince Regent in Council, which, if he might be allowed so to speak, was perfectly and in every Vav satisfactory to himself, and to his friends who entertained a similar opinion with himself. It ifcas on this account, he now rose to move, that the Order of the T") av for calling over rhe House, which stood for Thursday nest, be discharged.— He here wished to expres « his sense of the vfrv proper, frank, and imnlv eondn of his Majesty's Government in recalling these Orders, without attaching anv condition* to th » repeal that were likely t » frus'rste its effects—( Hear, hear)— To say more might be unnecessary, but to have said less wotild be unfair towards his Majesty's Go. Ternmenr. As a Member of that House, as one of the country, and on behalf of the manufactur- ing and fomm- rctal interests, he now thanked them for the frank and mmlv condufl which they had piir; ned—( Hear, hear.)— Nothing was far-, ther from his intention than rhe idea of indulging any thing like a mistaken triumph on the present occar- ion j and it was an observation which best came from his side of the House, that when a Government got entangled in a series of measures, of the policy of which even they themselves were nor convinced, he was persuaded, that the fear of an ill- judged triumph on the part of their usual opponents,, sometimes operated as a reason for their not retracing their step'. He trusted that the present repeal would hive the effeCt of restore- ing the trade and manufactures of the country ; that the measure would produce a proper concilia- tory effeCt on the American Councils, and would be met by that Government with a corresponding disposition. On this subject he entertained no donbt . hut if the case should be otherwise, he was the last man ; n the country who would say th » r on- Government ought not to be support- d. fHear, hear.)— He trusted that the negociations on foo' between the two countries, would now proceed tinder the most favourable auspices. Lord CASTI. FREAGH declared, that it should always afford him elf and his colleagues the rrea' » st gratification, to learn, that Govern- ment had been able to conduct itself in a way that was satisfa/ tory to Gentlemen opposi'e, and also he trusted to the country at large.—( Hear.)— He felt obliged to the Honourable, and Learned Gen- tleman, f" r the handsome terms in which he bad expressed' himself; and at the same time, must be allowed to add, that the measure as now adopted, was nor- entirely foreign to the mode in which it was originally intended to operate. A condition- al suspension of the Orders in Council, certainly was at Jfirsr thoqght of j bnt as it was stated from most respectable quarters in- that House, that the word • « suspension" . was not to be found in any of the restrictive laws of America, and that the obli- gation on her, to repeal her measure of Non- Inter- cour e, mieht not be found so strong, unless a re. vocation rook place, Government thought that the drcision of America ought not to be left a matter of risk, and therefore at once recalled the Orders in Council — ( Hear hear V— Still, in one sense, the measure might be called a suspension, inasmuch as it. would remainJn the power of this country to resume the Orders, provided the Am- rican Go- vernment thought proper to retraCt its declarations. At the same time, in the spirit of conciliation, Go- vernment had thought proper to give the repeal ft retrospective operation, to take date from the moment when, the French decree Of recal was first presented to them. Mr. BARING thought that the measures now • o happily announced, was calculated to produce the most salnta'y effect. Government, it appear, ed to him, had acted with the greatest propriety and good sense ; for, as the Orders in Council were to be given no, it was infinitely better to Ho it at once, liberally and unconditionally. He believed that the commercial, manufacturing, and every other interest in the country, would derive the greatest benefit from this step ; and he had now to express the great obligations which the coun- try owed to the indefatigable exertions of his Hon- ourable and Learned Friend, throughout the whole of the enquiry ; and to the almost unequalled abi- lity with which he had conducted it to this satis, factory conclusion. ( Hear, hear.)—. With regard to the American Government, he thought that they at least ought to be satisfied with this arrange, ment; and he had no doubt that they would be to in reality, nor attempt now to impose any torms inconsistent with their former declarations, j or the honour of England. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT concotred in the general opinion of th* wisdom which the Prince Regent's Government had displayed on the pre- [ tent occasion. But there was one point to which he wished again to call their attention, because it was one which, perhaps, more than any other was likely to prevent or interrupt harmony with Ame- rica— he meant the impressment of American sea- men. The other day he had mentioned the im- pressment of one Williams, who, he understood, was really an American seaman, and he should be glad to know whether his case had been in- quired into? Mr. GOULBOURN said, that bis Honourable Friend ( Mr. Croker) being absent, he could not give any immediate answer to the question. Lord CASTLE RE AGH wished to observe, that in the present stage of the negotiations with America, the most active steps had been taken to pnt an end to this source of misunderstanding. Our Ambassador had asked a list of all persons in our navy, who were supposed to be American seamen, and when the list w. is procured, their cases would be forthwith inquired into. Mr. PONSONBY entertained very little doubt, that the order now issued would be perfectly sa. tisfactory to America ; but- should she think pro- per to rise in her demands to what was unreason- able and unjust, no man would be more forward than himself, to support the rights and interests of this country.—-/' Hear, hear. Mr. WH1TBREAD had no question that this measure, new so happily adopted, would prevent the breaking out of hostilities with America. He | wi » uld now only observe, that one could not con- template the happiness and delight which its pro- speCt had diffused among the manufacturing dis- tricts of the country, without congratulating the House and the country on the occasion ; and they 3 would soon have the satisfaction of gaing to their several homes, and every where finding the people employed, industrious and satisfied—( Hear, hear.) It was unnecessary for him to pass any eulogy on the manner in which his Hon. Friend had con- ducted himself through the whole of the inquiry ; that conHuCt had been witnessed by the House it- self. He hoped that concord with America would be speedily restored ; and that together with it, in the course of a very few months, an attempt would be made by Ministers to restore peace with France, which could not fail to be attended with the greatest blessings toYne country, and which he believed had hardly yet been gone about in the spirit of conciliation, in any instance. The order of the day for the Call of the House on Thursday was then discharged. TYTHES. In the House of Commons, on last Tuesday, Mr PARNSLL made his promised motion on the subject of Tythes in Ireland. In the course of an able speech, he stated the three points in which the system was objectionable— 1st, because the people who paid the tythes were not, in Ireland, . of the same religion of the Clergy- to whom they were paid— 2dly, the unsettled rates, which were ex- tremely different in different counties— and £ dly, the mode of collection, because in England the Farmer might have recourse to a Jury, in cases of a dispute with the Clergyman, while in Ire- land all such disputes were settled by citations before the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. He then stated, that his plan would be, to appoint Cemmis- sioners to compute the value of Tythes through- out Ireland, and to substitute a County Land Tax for them, until lands could be obtained for the Clergy His motion was, " Thar a Commit. tee be appointed, early in the nest Session, to take into consideration the state of the law with respect to Tythes ins Ireland." After a short debate, a division took place, when there appeared— For the motion 36— Against it 39. x. • H" 0U3K OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24. TITHES OF TOTATOF. S IN IRELAND" Mj. M. FITZGERALD said, that he rose for leave to introduce a Bill for regulating the Ti'h'es of Potatoes in Ireland. After the lengthened de- bate of last night, he should not trouble the House with many observations; there were, how- ever a few particulars which he wished to impress on their attention. According to Blackstone, and all writers on tithes, they were originally intend- ed for fonr distinct purposes— for the support of the Bishops— of the clergy— of the poor— and for th* support of the fabtitk of the Church. In Ire. land these four purposes were not fulfilled, be- cause the Bishops had a particular support, dis- tinft from tithes. The Churches were repaired by Parliamentary grants, and the poor were alto- eether negleCted. The general Clergy had in faCt the whole tenths. His objeCt, therefore, was to mitigate the severity of the situation of the poor, by regnlating the tithe of potatoes, and he hoped that no legal bar would be opposed to his practi- cal remedy. At one time it appeared that the poor were, in part, receivers of tithes ; now they were the payers. He did not wish to take up tbe time of the House, and should, thetefore, proceed to his motion ; but he could not, however, help saying, that the poor of Ireland felt, amongst the other severities of their situation, the pressure of the tithe in question, as not the least galling : his motion was, that leave be given to bring in a Bill for the regulation of the tithe of potatoes. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he could not colour in the motion, because he conceived the Hon. Member's objeCt to be to deprive the Church of its undoubted rights to property, which was as sacred as any'in the kingdom. Mr.' MARTIN ( of Galway) said, that the pre. sent was a most unauspicious moment to agitate the subjefl. The Protestant Clergy of Ireland w- re a numerous afid rs. peCtable body, and there- fore he wished to demonstrate to them, that he should, as far as he could, protect their rights, when he gave his suppoit to any measure which tended to the complete emancipation of the Ro- man Catholics., The Hon. Gentleman's argu- ments appeared to him to have been derived from the theories which had been in vogue in the. Na- tional Assembly of France, which had there done so much mischief, and which would, if agitated at present, stir up a spirit of discord in Ireland. Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD said, he did not derive his arguments from such theories, to which he had been always avesrse, but he acted upon the opinions of inany able Statesmen and Lawyers in this country, who were favourable to a commutation of Tithes; Mr. WELLESLEY POLE argued shortly against the introduction of the Bill, and said, par-' ticularly, that the measure proved what he had been continually telling the House, that no ar- rangement could be proposed, which could at the same time relieve tile peasant, and respeCt the rights of the Church. Mr. PARNELL s id, that such might be the opinion of tbe Right Hon. Gentleman who'had just sat down ; but he could not help thinking that the opinions of such men as Dr. Paley, the late Lord Mansfield, and Mr. Pitt, who thought otherwise, were somewhat entitled to considera- tion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER professed himself to be one of - the most strenuous supporters of the rights of the Church; but he would not, however, oppose the introduction of the Bill, because he wished to give it fair play, and to see what it would propose to the Legisla- ture. He was sorry to hear the distinction made by the Right Honourable Gentleman, between Church and other property, Mr. FITZGERALD. I made no such distinc- tion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER — Then I am glad to be set right; for the property of the Church has a prescription reaching into j( ages, which no lay property can boa^ t. Sir J. NEWPORT thought his Right Honour- able Friend extremely hardly deilt with The usage " of the Houise was swerved from in the, pre- sent instance, for the debate was renewed after his Right Hon. Friend's re- ptv. He then ridiculed the solicitude of the N^ We Lord opposite, for the sacred rights . of the Church— hat very Noble Lord who, at tjie Union, recognised the Act of Agistment, when he ma t have well kno. vn the consequences of that Act were, that ih" Clergy had lost their right of tithe to the pasture of the' rich, and were driven for support to t'ie piotatoe gardens of the poor. How conscientious was his regard for the right's of the Church 1 Mr. W. DUNDAS, Lord CASTLEREAGH, Mr. FITZGERALD, and Mr MARTIN, said" a'few words; when the question waS pat, and leave given, to bring in the Bill. MINORITY ON MR. C ANNING'S MOTION. • Rochfort O. H.

The statement i$ doubtful in mail; respects. Star. A Heligoland Mdl arrived" this miming, but it brings no news whatever. The ' Same rigour prevails in interrupting all intercourse b « twefn the North of Europe and Heligoland. All the letters which we have seen from Lisbon describe the army in the Peninsula to- be- in a more healthy state than ever ir has besn, the greatest part of the wounded having recovered and joined. The general expectation was that Lord Wellington would soon start anew ; as he was only waiting to get his cavalrv, which had been in a most woeful plight, into some order. The Irish Dragoon Guards, at one time; had hardly a horse fit to go with'a: dtspit. cb,. bnt were again getting into fine condition. It is stated in letters from tliij French coast, that Bonaparte has transmitted orders ' o Mar- mount and Soult to retreat, in order to take a position'on the lert of Ebro. Thi's Intelligence is consistent with the efforts which we hav « already stated to be made for rei forcing the Franch ai- mies in Poland. It is there Bonaparte is assem- bling all. his strength, and he perhaps expeCts tbaC the force left in Spain w!

It is said that Government have determine! oiv taking possession of the Island of Groa, off L'Orient, as a^ very desirable station for our ves. sels, and admirably situated for the annoyance < f the enemy. Indeed, we are inclined to believe. that. it was for the captura of Grao, that the foar sail of the line, mentioned in our P! ymouth'- Dor! i letter, sailed from that port on Monday list If so", the island" is proba'bly* ere this " time iVocr possession. It is. reported that Ministers art in posses- sir.-, of authentic' copies of certain letters which ' re- cently passed between Be nadotte and Bonapart: . They are said to afford convincing proofs of ur- s'Falcea allegiance on the part o" f the former t I the couriti y which has adopted him as Sovereign, and to hold out prospects of Sweden joining Great Britain and Russia in the grand cause- of curbing the power of Fraice. The following communication was posted at Lloyd's, on Wednesday last:— " VIRGINIA, MAY 2. •" A violent hostile disposition continues on the part of the Government of the United Staftjs tn.' wards Great Britain, and as there are four of our frigates about sailing from the Chesapeake on a cruise, with almost . unlimited, instructions to their Comrmndrrs, as it regards neu; ral rights, which, they have been contending for, it is not imprrv bable that, thw. may. effect a rencounter with some of the British ship3 of war now on this ddast; irt such a manner as t^ o make popular the warlike measures which have been adopted, and_ that the people in- general might sanction an immediate commencement of hostilities. Such, wa believe to be their desire. Still, however, the prudence and forbearance which have been so long mani- fested by the Captains of the British ships of \ v r » may prevent the American Executive from ac- complishing their designs." The hippy effect* resulting from the Lancasji ri >„ system of education, are fully evinced by the rapid proficiency of the scholars in every- school win a- i{ has been adopted, as well as by the improvement ob- servable in their morals and propriety of cvneket, So salutary are its effects in ' subduing vicious habits, th,. k we have, seen examples of boys,,. the most idle iiftd re- fractory, after a few weeks subjection to its discipline, drilled into order, obedience and attention.— From these considerations, it must be tbe ardent wish. of' every philapthrtiplc mind, to see its advantages diffused to the utmost possible extent. It is with pleasure there- fore, we observe, that this system has bt en introduce j into a Sunday and dajty, school at Wlme- House, near this town, and with such flattering success, that the room in which it hat hitherto been held, is ' found much too small to accommodate tile increasing - num- ber. of applicants;.

A' considerable num- ber of the tickets have already beep disposed of, and the managers, encouraged by the prospect of meet- ing a ready sale for the . remainder, and. an- joas to avoid delay, have already commenced the building. It will'consist of two stories, the lower to be occilpi' - d as dwelling- houses, the. rents accruing from which are to be applied towards the education of a number of po'Or children, and the purchase of suitable rewanfs for proficiency and good behaviour, the upper storey will be appropriated to the school.— From the number who are excluded by the sm ilh- e s of the present schoolroom, it is expected that the children, of both sexes who will receive- their education in thai which is now erecting, will'amount to not less than 300, of syhom those who may be prevented by tfteii* occupa- tions from attending school except on Sundays, are to be educated. frj; e of exgehce, the others to pay on- ly such a sum as may amount to a sufficient salary f x- the teacher.

He was a considerable time ir, the 1st regiment of guards, which he quitted when Lieu- tenant- Colonel, soon after his return with thorn from Ame- rica. Hft afterwards was Colonel of the Royal West Mid- dlesex militia, where his conduit and humane chara& er made him truly beloved, and deservedly respe& ed by both Officers Srvi men. His remains, being brought from Wey- mouth to London, were, on Tuesday last, interred in Psd- dingtou" church- yard, in the same vault with those of his brother- in. law and most intimate friend, the iaie Hugh Dive," Esq.

( pss BELFAST COMMERCIAL CHRONICLE FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. SATURDAY, JUNE 20. ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, JON* 20. Lord Keith has transmitted a letter from the Hon. Capt. Bouverie, of the Medusa, to S'r G. R. Collier, of the Surveillante, giving an account of the destruction of the French national store- ship La Dorade, of 14 guns and 86 men, on the 5th inst. in * he harbour of Arcasson, by the boats of the Medusa, under the directions of Lieutenant Thompson. Notwithstanding the enemy were prepared for the attack, and the boats were hailed before they w » Te within musket- shot, the ship was carried, after a desperate struggle, in which the whole of the crew, excepting 23 taken, were either killed or compelled to jump overboard j the Com- mander of the vessel was amongst the latter se- verely wounded. The Medusa had none killed, and only five wounded. At day- light the ship was got under weigh, but after ; roceeding about a league down the harbour, she grounded ; and the tide then running out with great violence, she was set fire to, after the wounded had been taken eut, and some time after blew up. The Dorade had been watching an oppiriunity to escape fromij eavour, on the assurance of their support, to ' orm an Administration on the principles of ex- hiding persons who had on either rfide made them, ielves obnoxious to the public. As I taw the dan- ers of the country in the same light that they id, and believed that nothing could dispel the/ n ut the calling forth the general confidence of the ation, T could not dissent from the theory of their ilan: the execution of it, however, I deemed im- practicable ; I stated to them the impossibility of : heir overpowering the adherents of both Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox: on which account I strenuously recommended that they should attempt to form with Mr. Fox's party an alliance that might he satisfactory to themselves and to the country ; by discussing, and when accepted, reducing to strift engagement, the extent of measures which Mr. Fox, when brought into office by them, would iropose. The Gentlemen said, that many of their ' friends had taken so strong a part against Mr. Fox, and others had such a prejudice against him, that they had not any hope of bringing my pro- posi ion to bear with them. I repeated my reasoning as earnestly as possible, and prevailed upon those Gentlemen to say, they would recommend the suggestions to the consi. deration of their comrades. I pressed the counsel upon many of them individually afterwards; and I went out of town. Public matters grow- ing more gloomy in their aspeCl every day, 1 re- ceived letters from some of those Gentlemen, con- taining such remonstrances on my absence that I returned direfily to London. They persons with whom I had before conferred, came to me as soon as they heard 1 was arrived. The told me the repugnance of their party to Mr. Fox was invin- cible ; but that a sense of the extreme peril to which the State was exposed, was become so gen- eral, as to make it clear that a majority of the House of Commons would be for a new Adminis- tration, and th-' y produced a very long list indeed of Members, containing men of the greatest weight in the country, who wished that I should stand at their head. I explained to the Gentlemen, that to make myself chief of a party would no more suit me, than it would become them to enrol them- selves under me ; that though I must be flattered very highly at being thought by such person- ages equal to the guidance of affairs in so formi- dable a crisis, the situation to which they destined me was most ineligible for me; that I would, notwithstanding, not shrink from it, if my accept- ance of it would be regarded by his Majesty as an aft of duty, and by the public as an aft of zeal j that to ensure such a construction, I must not enter into any management or intrigue, but that the business milst be done by their open and manly declaration of what they thought ne- cessary for the public interest in such an exigency. I expeft that Mr. Fox obtained information of the sentiments ^ f these Gentlemen, and thence " with that disinterestedness and honest anxiety for the nation which guides all his actions," de- termined by the sacrifice of his own pretensions to remove every obstacle from an arrangement which he thought might be productive of good to the country.

" ment— and a full disclosure to the Nation " as to the extent of our Financial difficulties," in order to justifv the call for those heavv contri- butions that would be requisite to Te- estahVsh the credit of my friends. I demanded this condition : That no removals be made in the Household, Post Offices, Mint, or anv other department, not immediately connected with Ministerial function. To this they most readily assented. My view was " to profess that I would not form to myself a party, and that a* I had merely, from the criti- cal siuiT> ion of public affairs, consented to under- take a business foreign to the line of life which I had proposed to myself, I should consider it a fortunate release, whenever his Majesty or Par- liament should think some other person fitter for the station. With the measures by which the change of Administration was to be brought about, I was to have no concern. The senti- ments of the independent Members was indeed submitted through me, as some channel was ne- cessary for the transmission of their joint opinions. But in this I took no ftirther part. In pursuance of my system I dtclined remaining in London, lest from constant commun cations, the matter should degenetntHnto political intrigue. I'have given you this long detail that you may | be empowered to contradi t anv mistatement that you hear. " And you are perfectly at liberty to shew this letter to any resp ctable man of any party," as there was not a point throughout the business which I, nor any of those with whom I conferred " ae^ Asfish to cqncegl." Not a single man of those who assured me of their support ever hinted at a private object, much less suggest- ed any thing like a condition. You say that Mr. Sheridan has been traduced, as wishing to abandon Mr. Fox and to promote a new Administration. I had accidentally a conversation with that Gen- tleman at the House of Lords, I remonstrated strongly with him against a principle which I heard Mr. Fox's friends intended to lay down, namely, that they would support a new Adminis- tration, but that not any of them would take a part in it. I solemnly declare, upon my honour, that I could stake Mr. Sheridan's assertion of the propriety of that determination. He said that he and Mr. Fox's other friends, as well - is Mr, Fox himself, would give the most energetic support to such an Administration as was in contempla- tion, but that their acceptance of the office would appear as acquiescence under the injustice of the interdict supposed to bet fired upon Mr. Fox. I did i\ ot, nor never can, admit the fairness of that argument. But I gained nothing upon Mr. Sheri- dan ; to whose uprightness in that respect I can therefore bear the most decisive testimony. In- deed I am ashamed of offering testimony WHERE SUSPICION OUGHT NOT To BE CONCEIVED. I con- sider the whol? of this political negociation as completely extinct j and feeling my escape from a hazardous and unpleasant situation. I enjoy the conscientiousness of not having shrunk in an unmanly manner from any responsibility, in a case where it was thought I might be useful to the community— Attteu, my dear Sir, Beliereime faithfully yours, ( Signed) MOIRA.

" It was understood that they felt it so•" and on that supposition the independent Members made a more pointed application to me. INTERCEPTED LETTERS. Hitherto nobody haj icular office but id b Sir EARL MOIRA'S LETTER. COPY OF A LETTER FROM EARL M0IHA TO LIEU- TEN ANT- COLON EL M'MAHOK. Dorrington, June 11, 1797. Mr DEAR COLONEL— The information which you have given me of the reports circulating with regard to the late political negociations, is in one respeft material. It confirmed a suspicion which had occurred to me that it was an objeft to have me thought disposed towards such a coalition ; and the Oracle, which I h d not seen before you transmit ed it, exceedingly strengthens the suppo- sition. If I have left room for those erroneous • tatements, by not proclaiming to all th* world the arrangement that was in view, it did not pro- ceed from my not having taken a precise and de- fined lire; still less did it arise from any notion of advantage in concealment; for the Gentlemen with whom I conferred had not any pui pose which they wished to disguise; aud I strongly urged them not to give an appearance of intrigue to the business by any affeftation of secrecy. Indeed I know that some of them declared their intentions very openly to the persons most concerned, the Ministers, which, perhaps, has facilitated the at- tempt of throwing a colour of collusion on the plan. My sole reason for not talking more openly on what was in contemplation was, that I had de- clined being a principal mover in the business, and I thought it would have had tn air of vanity if I proclaimed the fluttering recurrence of so many respectable characters to me. It was before Easter that some Members of the House of Com- mons, not those who used to meet at Sir John Sin- clair's, sent to ask for an opportunity of conversing with me on political topics. When we met, they « aid that a considerable number of independent Members, who had hitherto voted VTth Adminis- tration, saw wiih excessive alarm the difficulties into which the country had been plunged, and which could not but encrease rapidly, unless an adequate remedy was immediately applied. They - added, that they had reflefted on the nature of that remedy, and were convinced that a change of Ministry must be the fitst step towards it ; in consequence of which they had communed to- gether, and, liad determined to fix their confidence upon me. They then requested that I would en- been designated for any par. William Pulteney. The Gentlemen had said that he was the person whom they should be most gratified in seeing Chancel- lor of the Exchequer. And I had professed to them and to him. that there was not any person with whom I could aft more confidently. From what I have mentioned, however, you will see that it was not in coatemplation of my friends to have an Administration formed by a junction with the majority of the present Cabinet. One person, indeed, had observed to me, that if Mr. Pitt and Lord Grenville were displaced, the remainder of the Cabinet would suit my purposes as well as any men I could find ; but I directly met that suggestion by a declaration that nothing could induce me to go into office upon terms of that nature. The introduction of Lord Thurlow and Sir W. Pulteney and myself into that Cabinet, could not assure the public of a change of system. And it was necessary in the outset that the con- fidence of the people should attach itself to our principles ; I would therefore have nothing equi- vocal. Without meaning to prescribe individuals, there are certain points with which one must not palter. " I cannot even sit in a Cabinet with the Duke of Portland ; he appears to have done more injury to the Constitution, and to the estimation jj of the higher ranks in this country, than any man on the political stage." By his. union with Mr. Pitt he has given it to be understood by the peo- ple, that either all the constitutional charges which he and his friends for so many years urged against Mr. Pitt were groundless, or that, being solid, there was no difficulty in waving them, " when a con- venient partition of power and emoluments was proposed." In either case, the people must infer that the constitutional principle, whjch can be so played with, is unimportant, and the Parliament- ary professions are no security. Were I to con- nect myself with the Duke of Portland, I must incur the imputation ot similar laxity, and I must thereby forfeit any claim to a confidence, without which I could not be of any use; when nothing but the hope of being of use could make me for a moment listen to a proposal for un- dertaking an office. " My wish was to procure for colleagues many of those who had been act- ing in concert with Mr. Fox." And it was ob- vious that the step which he had taken was ge jj nerously intended to leave them at liberty to join i as unconnected individuals in a new Administra- ' tion ; in this my friends, of whom not one aimed at office, entirely concurred, saying, that if con- tinued responsible to them for measures, I might take whose men I chose. Those measutes had been readily adjusted between us : lor when I de- tailed to those Gentlemen the plan on which alone I could undertake the management of affairs, we found that our sentiments agreed completely.-— I had stated that I must decline coming in, un- less his Majesty would graciously agree to these three conditions:— An endeavour to procure " immediate peace— the tranquilization of Ire. " land by a just and lenient system of Govern. The following letters were very lately intercepted in Spain. They are written by the Baron de Lery, General of Division, commanding the corps of Engineers in that kingdoili:— j " Mr or AS ITOKE SI VALMT— General Morgan has delivered yoor letters and those of Cecilia— They have given me pain and pleasure at the tame time I was uneasy about the health of both of you— However, I am now a little easier. If the F. mperor had consented to my return to . France my wishes would have been tulfi'led. I do not think I am so necessary in Spain. I shall soon remain the only one of my army, for every day the number of my of- ficers diminishes. I lose eight by the fall of Badajoz— fatal loss, of which we know not the details. Never was any place I in a better state, better provisioned, with as many troops as necessary. It ought in my opinion to have held out longer. There is a marked fatality in this event! To rrturn to my situation :— I remain with one General under my orders, one Major, two Chiefs of Battalion, and seven Captains of the General Etat Major of Engineers— a very insufficient number for so extensive a service as nune. " I have presented your compliments to the Duke of Dal- roatia— he had already had your Utter of recommendation for General Morgan. I dare say he will employ him in a suitable manner. He dined with me to- day. We talked * good deal of every thing relating to you and Cecilta— but what gave me the greatest pleasure was your health, which he says is excellent.

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON. The follow: ng are the particulars of the unu- sual event which occurred at Btrbadraes, as men- tioned in the'Chronicle of Wednesday :— i Earbidoj, May 2. Yvsterday morning at four o'clock, the stmosnhere wa « perfectly clear and light; but at six, thick clouds had cover- ed the horizon, from whence issued, in torrents, like rain and particles fi ler than sand, volcanic matter ; and at eight, it was as totally dark as we ever recollect to have seen the most stormy night. It then became necessary to procure lights, not only in the dwellings of families, but larnhorns were obliged to be used in passing from one part of the street to another. On the preceding night it however seems that many persons heard sounds like those which follow rhe dis- charging of cannon, and some go so far as to say, that they clearly observed the flashes to leeward « f us, the same as if vessels were engaged at sea; therefore, as these clouds came from the northward, it is much to be dreaded that some one of the neighboring Islands has experienced the dismal effects of a volcanic eruption. This awful state of darkness conti- nued untii twentv minutes past twelve at noon, when the glimmerings of Heaven's light were gradually perceptible, and about one o'clock it was so far clear, as to be compared with that of about seven in the evening. The eruptive mat- ter, however, still continued, and, as was the case during the whole time of its descent, numerous flocks of exotic birds were heard warbling the melancholy note, of croaking, as if thev were messengers of past, or presages of future evil. We shall, in common with our fellow inhabitants, feel extremely anxious for arrivals from the neighbouring Islands; should these fortunately have escaped any convulsion of the earth, this phenemenon will form a subject of much philosnphical interest, and learned discussion. To describe the feelings that prevailed the community during this awful period, is impossible— it is far more easy to be conceived : many con- sider it as an infliction of that Almighty wrath which was denounced against the Israelites of old, as we are informed in Holy writ t—" The Lord shall make the rain of the land ponvder and dmst: from Heaven shall it come dotvn upon thee, until thou he destroyed;" which was still farther impressed by the follow- ing passage:—" And thou shalt grope at noon day, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy • ways" It was, in short, a scene that can never he obliterated from the memory; and it mav at least have some good effect, that of strengthening the believer in his idea" of Omnipotence, as well at producing in the mind of the disbeliever ( should there unhappily be one among us) a conviction of the error of his ways The sandy particles appear to have fallen in this neighbourhood, to the depth of about three quarters of an inch; but, in the north part of the island, it is slid to be con- siderably deeper. The army ship Emma, arrived this day at noon, informs that, when SO miles to the eastward of Point Saline, Mar- tinique, early yesterday morning, a dreadful explosion was heard, and the vessel was shortly afterwards completely en- veloped in clouds of the same kind of matter as above stated; and this was also experienced by the schooner Peggy, from Dominica, which aUo states that total darkness prevailed from two o'clock yesterday morning until three in the af- terr. oon. Extras of a letter from Barbados, dated Sth May, 1812, ft a Mercantile House in Greenock. " We can scarcely see to write for dust, and have not time by this opportunity, to give a full account of the most awful phenomenon that ever was witnessed here, which happened on the 1st instant, We were in utter darkness from half- past six in the morning, till half- past twelve in the afternoon during which time, and the remainder of the day, a great quantity of dust was showered upon us from the Heavens, which has covered the island at least one inch thick. The country is melancholy, and unless we have rain, their is no saying what will become of our live stock." By the following Letter, it appears that the above- mentioned singular phenomenon, was occa- sioned by a volcanic eruption in the island of St. Vincent. / Extrafl of a Letter from St. Vincent, dated lit May, received by the skip John Campbell, arrived in the Clyde from Grenada. " I having been informed that you had not sailed from Grenada by the April fleet, I hasten to give you some ac- count of a most alarming circumstance which took place here, last night and this morning. About sun- set, on Thursday evening, we observed an immense quantity of fire and smoke to proceed from the volcano, and continued till one o'clock this morning, when a most tremendous explosion took place, and continued till four, throwing up Immense quantities of stones and ashes all over the island On the estates, in the vicinity of the mountains, the ashes are said to be from two to three feet deep; that two of the principal rivers have been dried up and new ones formed; and that many of the estates in that quarter have been much injured. One white person and six negroes have been killed. Al'hough King- ston is at the distance of only about twelve miles from the volcano, the inhabitants were so much alarmed, that many of them went on hoard of the vessels in the Bay for protec- tion, and it was not until past eight o'clock that one person could distinguish another, in consequence of the atmosphere being darkened by the quantity of ashes. I am much afraid that the extent of the damage sustained is not yet known.' THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. We mentioned in the Chronicle of Wednesday, that a Deputation of ten Members from the Reli- gious Society of Friends, presented to his Rftyal j Highness the Prince Regent, at the Levee on the 18th instant, an Address representing the horrors of war, and praying his Royal Highness to exer- cise the R - yal prerogative for the restoration of peace. The Address is remarkable for its bre- vity. simplicity, and neatness; and the answer of I his Royal Highness is every way correspondent, as will appear from the subjoined extrafts from The London Ga% ette:— EXECUTION OF RIOTERS. CHESTER, . TONE 15— Saturday Joseph Thomp- son and John Temple, found guilty at the Special Commission held for this county, on the 25th ult. for the trial of the rioters, were executed pursu- ant to their sentences, at the New drop, behind the City Gaol. About half- past twelve o'clock they left the Castle ; when the so'emn procession, escorted by a party of the Oxford Blues, and accompanied by the proper officers, proceeded through the city to the New Gaol, followed by tin immense crowd of people. On their arrival at the latter place they were conducted to the chapel, where they very devoutly joined the Clergyman, in prayer, to that Being into whose presence they were about to ap- pear. About one o'clock they ascended the drop, and soon after were launched into eternity, in the presence of a great concourse of people, assembled to witness their awful exit. MANCHESTER, JUNE 15.— About twelve o'clock on Saturday, the awful sentence of the law was put in execution upon the eight persons, condemn, ed at the late Special Assize at Lancaster, viz. J. Smith, T. Kerfoot, J. Fletcher, and A. Chail- son, for burning, See. Messrs. Wrse and Dan- cough's weaving mill, at West Houghton— John Howarth, John Lee, and T. Hoyle, for breaking into the house of J. Holland, in this town, and stealing bread. & c.;— and Hannah Smith, for committing a highway robbery by stealing pota- toes at Bank Top in this town. Their conduct, throughout confinement, manifested the greatest indifference, and unconcern, as to the awful state in which they were placed ; and all the pathetic exhortations of the Reverend Chaplain, were fre. quently repeated, before signs of repentance of their crimes, or necessity of preparation to meet their God, appeared in any wise to awaken their benighted minds. Before turned off, however, they became penitent, confessed their offences, and with broken and contrite hearts, cried out to Hea- ven's Throne to have mercy upon them for their being miserable sinners. TO CABINET- MAKERS. [ FROM THE BRITISH rREss.] Wanted some skilful hands, to put in order a very curious Cabinet, supposed to be of the wotk- matisbip of Charles the Second. It is composed of twelve parts, which are con- trived to fit very closely together, and made to go in and out by a secret spring, which was invented by a Scotchman, some years since, and by him first applied to this purpose. This Cabinet is very curiouslv tesselated, and inlaid with various pieces of Mosaic work, and adorned with little wooden figures, all new with- in a few years, and made at a vast expense. These figures, by a secret touch of the main, spring, are so contrived as to utter or emit sounds like human creatures, and may be made to change their notes and sing in quite a different key, with- out any alteration of the words, but merely by shifting their places. This main- spring is so exquisitely contrived, that the slightest touch, even of a child, or a fe- male, is sufficient to put it in motion, and direft its movements. Owing to an accident this Cabinet lately experi- enced in one of its supporters being br" ken, it has become unable to perform its movements, and has therefore been sent to different Cabinet- Ma- kers to repair ; but on account of its complicated machinery, none have been yet able to agree in what is necessary to be done. The most eminent are of opinion, that it ought to be comple'ely taken to pieces, while othtrs re- commend only a partial repair. Whosoever will undertake to put the same into complete repair, without looking at the works, by which the secret spring is regulated ; and which must on no account be touched, may apply at the office of the Proprietor, where a model of the Ca- binet, and a plan of the alterations proposed may be seen. N. B. Expedition is required. " Seville, April 20th. " The newspapers, my dear Decaux, will have apprised yoii of tilt unhappy fi. ll of Badajoz, which has been taken in a very short time I aonfess I cannot account for this bad defence, ut the garrison was amply sufficient, and was sup- ! plied with provisions abundantly, extensive works had been erected, and there was every reason to hope that the army would have had time to assemble aud march to its relief. All calculations, however, have been disappointed : the army of Portugal moved to a greater distance from us, when it ought to have approached us— Thus Wellington, and his English and Portuguese united, took the place, almost in the pre ence of two armies, amounting together to near 80,000 men. This is the consequence of not having a supreme Chief on the spot, to direct the movements. We lost in Badajoz three compjnies of Engineer j, and ten Officers, among whom was Adjutant Stornberg, It appears that Trevellier is kill- ed : it was his own fault; he threw himself into the place, with the Dutch Captain Mern^ id, Lieutenant Coites, and fifty rien of the Elite; none of whom belonged to the garrison, but were actuated by an impulse of zeal and courage.— An- nexed, is a copy of a letter which 1 received fr » m Captain Guillard, respecting the capture of Badajpz. ' i We have no other details. It it said in some of the private letters, that the soldiers fought very badly; but this wants further confirmation: it would be a second represen- tation of the affair at Tariffa. Upon the whole, the taking of Badajoz appears to me very extraordinary, and I should 6nd it difficult to give a clear and distinCt account of it.— When I know more I will write to the Minister, and give you all the information I can procure.— Adieu, my dear De- caux, See. Su. ( Signed) " The General of Division, " B. DE LERY." " P. S.

It is now many years since war has been spreading its de- solation over great part of the civilized world; and as we believe it to be an evil, from which the spirit of the Gospel of .

To which Address his Royal Highness was pleased to return the following most gracious an- 1 swer :— I am deeply sensible of the calamities which necessarily attend a state of war. It would, therefore, be most grateful to my feelings, to ob- serve such a change in the views and conduct of the enemy as would admit of the cessation of hostilities, consistently . with a just regard to the impoitant intere.- ts which have been committed to my charge, and which it is my indispensable duty to maintain. I refleCt with great satitfaCtion on the religious privileges secured to you by the wisdom and benevolence of tbe laws, j and you may rest assured of my constant protection. | CURIOUS DUEL.— Thursday, late in the after, noon, two French Officers, prisoners of war, on parole, in the town of Reading, foi/ ght a duel, in a field, not far from the New Inn, Oxford Road, / when one of them received a ball, which passed through the back part of his neck. Their mode of combating was singular. Not being able to procure pistols, they agreed to decide the aff. tir with a fowling piece, the only weapon they pos- sessed, at the distance of about fifty paces, by tir- ing alternately. The first discharge was conclu- sive. The Officer who fired, immediately render- ed every assistance in his power to his wounded antagonist. He accompanied him back in a pon. chaise to his lodgings, where a surgeon instantly attended, and dressed his wound, which, we are happy to state,' is not dangerous. A few days ago, a house in Littleworth Drove, Deeping Fen, had nearly been burnt down, under the following circumstances s— The occupier, Mf. Clarke, accidentally left a pair of speftacles in the window, which were full in the sun ; the refk- ftiou set fire to the window curtains, and before he goc home ( which was in a few minutes) they were en- tirely consumed, and the cieling had just taken fire; he, however, prevented further damage. A person named M'Donald has taken out a pa- tent in Washington City, ( U. S.) for making bricks by pressure: his method is an improvement on that of Mr. French, but does not differ from it in principle. He states, that by his mrchine, 60,000 bricks can be made per day; which is doubling the number made by Mr. French; and that he can make 20,000 at the price 5000 have hitherto been made.
