TO THE XING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The humble Mtlrtfe of the MAYOR, BAILIFFS: and Bui- Gasses, of the Borough of Leieefte;. We approach your Majetty, at this interefting jundture, to ex prefs with all humility our grateful fenfe of the many blaring. we enjoy under your Majefty's aufpicious Government. Your Majelly'r constant anxiety for the welfare of your fub jab demand, from us continual thankful:l& ; but, we feel our (elves peculiarly called upon, at the prefent moment, to carry to the Throne our trilmte of thanks for the tender hlicitude recently manifefted by your Majetty, to preferve inviolate that fecurity which the laws of our country afford to the reformed Proteftant Relit on. The mild and tolerant principles which have been fo confpicu ous in your Mai, fty's Reign, afford the bat proof that your Ma jefty is not adluated by any but benevolent and liberal view., even • when your judgment would interpofe reftraints. Whatever is mild and tolerant, liberal and benevolent, is, we truß, moR grate ful to our feelings, and certainly molt congenial to the fpirit of the religion we profefs; hut it is our reverence for that holy faith, in Its rural form, which would lead us to guard it. ft is our grati tude to the defender of it, which now brings us to your Majefty's Throne. We pray that the Aissiciry, who has bellowed fo many bleffings on the people of this land, will long continue to preferve your Mojelty's life.

Mr. Frederic John Faulkner, Robert Latourhe, Sir Lawrence Parfons, Mr. Fytches, the Honourable C. W. Stew.rt, were fevc. rally ordered into the cuttody of the Serjeant at Arms, fame being defaulters on the bit Call of the Houle. Sir G. F. Hill, Bart. and Sir J. Stewart were ordered to attend In their places to-morrow. The Houk proceeded to ballot a Committee for taking into confideration the merits of the Petition refpeding -the late Welt• Mintier Eledion. The following were the Members chortn : William Tuffncll, Erg. G. Campbell, Frq. Sir C. W. Bamfylde Sir L. Pally Bait. Hon. Crop. Afhlcy Stephen Luling:on, Efq. lord Pore:idler Anth Henderfon, (Sq. T. Foley, Efq. W. Hootywood, bfq. Sir H. D. Hamilton, Bart. John Colclough, Efq. N.

INDIA AFFAIRS. • Mr. HORNER, in confequence of a notice he had given upon a former day, to bring forward a queftion of Inquiry refpeaing the Pol)gar War in India, tore now• to ark an Honourable Baronet (Sir I'. Turton) whether ar nt,t he had re'•irqui(hed his intention to bring forward the quellior, of which he bad given notice, upon a fi:nilar lobjea ? Sir THOMAS TuRToN anfw,rcd. that he eel-. tainly had net relinquifhed his purpole ; but as a change had taken place in the Board of Ccutroul, be had thought it right to afk Tome queaions of the new Prefident of that Board, upon this fubje& ; and, at his refiner}, he had agreed to porlpone hia motion fora few days. The nan:eb of defaulters upon the lafl call for a Ballot were then read over, and thole for whom no fulficient exclife was oared, were ordered into cuftody. LOAN INTVIUST BILL. The Houfe then refolved into a Committee for the further contidera•ion of this Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Paid, that in confequence of the obfervations dated yeßerday, Irom the other fide of the Houle, upon the fubjea of certain alterations he had propofed to make in this Bill, and with a view to obviate even the (lighten apprehenfion, that it was not his with to weaken, in any degree, the fecurity to the public creditor, for the late loan of twelve millions, to which the Confolidated Fund flood pledged ; it was not his intenti:.n to propofe any other change upon the fubjeft of the taxes by the Bill, deemed to be permanent, until fix months after the ratification of Peace, than met ely one, wi►icb would go very much to relieve the feelings and anxieties of Commercial men, without at all weakening the bona file fecurity which the public creditor would enjoy ; and to the making good of which the faith of Parliament was pledged. He fhoold therefore merely propofe a modification in the Bill, by moving to omit that part which related to the War Taxes upon tonnage of (hipping, and import and export duties. This he conceived ►,eceffary, in order to relieve the commer• cial feelings of tl;e country from any apprehenfion, that it was at all in contemplation to continue taxes which mutt in fo great a degree prefs upon the com mercial interefis, a moment beyond the peri id limit ed by the Bill, whatever other taxes it might be found necelLtry to perpetuate under a peace eliablifh ment. Lord HENRY PETTY admitted that the proper fition, as now limped, removed the ohjeelions which he entertained yeflerday ; as, in its prefent (Rape, it would be merely a nominal, and not a fubftantial depreciation of the fecurity to the Public Creditor•, to whom certainly the whole of the war taxes were pledged ; and which pledge ought not to be dimi nifhed by the abrogation of any one of thofe taxes, without fubllituting fume otber which might be deemed more eligible in the room.

There are all the particulars as yet known. The Imogene of IS guns, Captain GARTH, by which, the difpatches refpeeting the paffage of the Dardanelles were received, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday evening :—lhe left Sicily the 13th ef March, Gibraltar the 3111 following, and Lord COLLING. WOOD'S Fleet off Cadiz, the Ili of April. The force with which Admiral Dv c icw orr H paffed the Dardanelles, eontified of nine (hips of the line; two frigates and a bomb. 'The iefiftance they met with was comparatively feeble. The Britifh tars, fo far from feeling apprchenlions on viewing the Turki(h batteries, abfolutely gave three cheers as they paffed them ! The fire by which his Majelty's fhip AJAX has been deftroyed was merely accidental. It took place below deck, and, after burning fume time, reached the magazine, when the fhip blew up. Captain BLACK wooI). who had afcended to the fp' itfail yar d, had jolt efcaped before the explofion toc.k place. The fhip was cruizing in the Archipelago at the time the ac cident happcne.l. was as produilive without as with the war taxes—he fancied, however, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would have found the plain plodding undetlanding of the city quite averfe to the fubtle genius of the Right Honourable Gentleman. He denied that the Gentleman had given up his intended improvement as an aa of grace to his fide of the Houfe, for the Right Honourable Gentleman, while he was driven to an abandonment of it, would fain have the Houle undertland that he had volunteered in abandoning ir. After a !hurt converfation between Meffrf. Hulkif fon, Vantittart, Mr. Tierney, Lord H. Petty, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Amendment was agreed to. The other amendments were they read and agreed to. After whi:h the Houfe refumed, and the Re port was otde►ed to be received tomorrow. On the Ivlotion of the CHANCELLOR of the PXCHEQUER, the Report of the Pilot's Regulation Bill was orlcred to be taken into further eonfiderstion this day fe'nnight. The Scots Taxes Regulation Bill was read a fceond time, and ordered n be committed on this day fortnight. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved the third reading of the Irifb Infirmary Regulation Bill. The Bill was then read a third time, and pared. The Royal Naval Arylum Bid, and the Bill for enabling Cnm• miffioners to take affidavits in the abfenee of the Judges in Ire land, were each read a third time, and paired. The Oak Bark Bill was reported, and ordered to be reilta third time on Thurfday. The kith Loan Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow._ _ _ ..... _ Mr. SHARPS moved the poftponement of the fecond reading of the Calico Printers' Regulation Bill to this day fe'nnight .

Mr. PATTERSON preented a petition from the Mayor and BurgelTes of the Town and County of Norwich, againit the Bill which is now pending in Parliament. purporting to be a Rill for the better Management of the Poor in that City and County. Ordered • to be laid on the table. The fecond reading of the Eatt London Wattr Works Bill was fixed for Monday next. The Berwick Harbour Bill was read a fecond time, and ordered to be referred to a Committee to morrow . _ ..... _ A few other Bills were forwarded through their refpedtive ftages,and the Houfe adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. AMERICAN STATES. It appears, by the fubjoined letter, that the Treaty, tranfmitted by this country to America, has been re jelled by the Prefident a-,d Senate. The Houfe of Reprefentatives infill on difcutfing the queftion alfo, but, even thould they approve of its Ilipulations, with. out the confent of the other two branches, it cannot be ratified. The rejeetion of this treaty is the more furprifing, as the Americans mull have heard of the decree of Napoleon, for declaring all Neutrals, that vifit a Bri till) port, regular captures, wherever they may fall into his power. The Americans feem abfolutely in feCted with the fame mania that has led fo many of the European hates, by the adoption of temporizing fyfiems, inttead of a vigorous oppofition to the com mon enemy, to that Rate of degradation in which they are now funk. Thole ankles of the treaty, which have not yet been made public in this country, will probably tp. pear in the next American Papers. Barad. of a letter from St. Georges, Bermuda, March as, 1807. The Cambrian frigate, Captain BERWORD, falls immediately for England, by which I write: her batty departure is, we fop pore, occafioned by the Bridal Treaty with America having been rejeded by the Prefident and Senate, who were for fending it back immediately; but the Houfe of Reprefentatives infifted upon its being debated in their Houfe; what the refult may be is yet un • known : if the non importation thould in confequence be enforced, an immediate war will break out. The Treaty has created great erment throughout the American Continent. The Novel-reading World are at prefent-engroired by elegant Novella/es of Hov;aava: . MONTE VIDEO. While we congratulate our country on the cow:pen of this very (bong and important fraud's, we lincerely mingle in the general regret for the lots of fo many brave Officers. Lieutenant• Colonel VASSAL and Major DALRYMPLE were officers of the greateft merit, and their lots is deeply lamented by the Army. Ma• jor TROTTER is the Deputy Adjutant General to the Army, and Major 'rocas' was ott Sir SAMUEL AUCHMUTY'S Staff. The (forming party was moil gallantly led on by thofe dillinguithed Officers Colonel BaowN and Major Blow); of the 4oth. The latter was one of the firll wounded. The brunt of the bufinefs fell on the 38th, and 4oth. Moft of the wounded are very bid, being grape-fhot wounds, and will not recover. The wounds of AlLllant Surgeon WILDAIR I are of the wor ft kind. A letter from an Officer of the 4oth fays, 14 the re. ,‘ finance was moll obllinate. The Spaniards would 64 not take quarter; and when our men entered, 44 they were furious, teeing fo many of their officers 44 killed; and the (laughter was literally fatiguing." The proportion of officers and non commillioned officers killed'and wounded at Monte Video is much greater than we recolleB, unlefs in Egypt. _ Colonel CRAWFUILD had not arrived at La Plata, but we have Peen a letter which Rates, he was daily expected to call off that river on his way to Lima, whither it feems his expedition was defined. Tl.e letter Rates, that it was intended when he Ihould arrive, to beg him to flop with his army, and Ala in the reduCtion of Buenos Ayres and the neigh. bouring dißriCt, before proceeding for Lima. We are indebted to a Correfpondent on the fpot for the following communication : '' After the breach was entered, the troops had to leap down 13 or tfo feet. However, part of the 93th or Rifle regimen., took poffeffion of the church, mounted the roof, and annoyed the Ci tadel. In the church there was great !laughter, as a number of Spaniards had takcn refuge there, after firing upon our troops. ' 1 A very factious fpirit prevailei in the place. The Viceroy was rapidly advancing with 4000 Cavalry, and was accompanied by the Frenchman Liniers, who was his Chief Counfellor. The G.verner was alto advifed by a Frenchman named Modelle, who, on account of his having loft an arm, was better known by the name of—Manco. Theft palm's, and Tome renegodoes , were the rulers of two fa Lions. Sir Samuel Auchmuty fent in a flag of truce, or rather endeavoured to fend one in, on the evening pre. vious to the &arm ; but, with the utmoß infolence, it was not al- lowed to be received. After the (term, however, the Governor endeavoured to procure terms, but was anfwerce. by our General In a manner becoming the charadler of the Britifts nation. It is Lad, we loft aoo men, killed and wounded, in the ftorm. Indeed, when we confider the breach, the difficulties of approach, and even when the fummit was gained, the great depth of the defcent, it can.ilat &wondered at. Poor Colonel Vaffal, who died on the 7th, univerfally lamented. Molt of the Spanifh troops whom l•have teen, appear a fqualld fet of wretchea, old and infirm; and many of the Officers, who are men of 60, 70, and even of 8o years of age, are volunteers. " Never were more zeal and bravery (hewn than by our forces, nor did a greater cordiality ever fubfift between the Army and Navy. The higheit praife Is due to the latter, for their exertions in carrying materials for forming batteries, dragging guns through heavy, deep, randy roads; as well as their bcing.fermed into a bri- gadc, and armed with pikes and cutiaffes and working the batteries under the immediate direCtion of Captain Donaly, of his Majef ty's thip Ardent, whole indefatigable exertions, &ill, and judg ment, were of the utmoft utility in overcoming a variety of diffi culties. He mutt have been of infinite ferviee to Sir S. Auchmuty, with whom he conftantly remained at headquarters. " The general conduit of the Spaniards is highly inimical to the Britith. Their antipathy is univerfal ; and nothing could thew this difpofition more ftrongly, than the horrid treatment of our wounded, on the soth of January, the day of the fortie: many of them were afterwards backed and mangled with knives ; but fomc of our feamen are recovering from wounds intlided in this manner. " The treacherous villains, however, arter the capitulation or ceffation of firing, let fire to a remarkably fine frigate, and two gun brigs, in the harbour, which blew up. They were loon pre- 1 vented from doing any more mifchief, by the ftrenuous exertions of the Officers of the Navy, who chilled with their boats into the harbour. ,The titmoft endeavours are making to fend an expedi tion againft Buenos Ayres ; but it is doubtful whether operations will commence prior to the arrival of Colonel Craufurd, who is daily expeeted from England. ". It would be ungrateful not to mention the laudable exertions of the battalion of Royal Marines, under Captain Lodington, at • tubed to the brigade of feamen, or Royal Blues, under the imme diate command of Captain Donnelly, wir) uftd every endeavour to preferve the diftinguifhed charafter they polfeffed. The molt lively marks of regret were vifible throughout the whole of the lquadron, on ending that, notwithftanding every means were adopted which could be deviled, the (hips, nay, not even the gun- brigs, could approach the (hare fufficiently dole to be of any an noyance to the enemy or fupport to the Army. " Our Cavalry are daily procuring bodes; but, in general, they are poor, half-ftar►ed, weak animals. However, ft is to be hoped we (hall have a relpeetable force. Indttd, It is imagined that our Cavalry and Left Brigade, will proceed by land to Colonia de Sa cramento, an.' drive away any of the enemy's force ikulting in that quarter. " The naval arrangements are not yet known; but with heart felt pleafure I can allure you, our force, naval and military, is In the higheft hate of health, and the climate is molt falubdous; and provifions are in vaft abuneance. "Lieutenant Fitzpatrick, of the 4cth Regiment, who was killed on the firft landing of the troops in Carets. Bay, was a molt gallant Officer. In the hit moments of his exiftcnce, furrounded by Come of his brave but fad companions, he was heard to exclaim, Duke et decorum a fro patria more.' " The 87th Regiment, which was patted near the North gate of Monte Video, and fcakd the walls, before the troops which entered the breach could open the gate, wa■ chiefly, if not altoge• titer, coutpofed of very young men, who had been lately ralfed, and never before were in salon. Animated, however, by their brave Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Butler, they were Coon taught to defpife all danger, and dittinguilbed themfelves in the moil gallant manner. " Lieutenant• Colonel Brownrigg, of the x ith, and I.ieuteuaut• Colonel Valli', of the 38th, were mortally wounded, while they were gallantly leading the troops to the affault. 'ring were both carried to the fame houfe. Licutenant•Colonel Vara!, who was in au Inner room, died the firft. On his corpfe being brought through the chamber in which Col. Brownriu lay, and wbo had then but a few minutes to Hve, he exelahked- There goes a brave foldier, and I than loon follow hint !" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
