Mr. PONSONBY took that opportunity of putting a questine of the greatest moment to the Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whota be saw in his place. .HA bad that morning seen, and he had supposed every other Gado man had seen, a paper purporting to be a copy of a Circular Let ter, signed by the Chief Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, which had been sent to the Sheriffs and Chief Magistrates of every County and town in Ireland. The question he intended to propose was, whether before the step which was alluded to in that letter had been adopted, the' Right Honourable Gentleman bad taken the pleasure of his Royal Higtusees the Prince Regent, , and whether the Cabinet had such a communication with the Irish Government as justified the issuing of die letter so sighed by Mr. Pole? He was not then desirous of occupying the at tention of the House further on this topic, but was simply desi rous to have the question answered. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER could have se manner of didlcuhy or disincilsetion to answer the questioned she Right Honourable Gentleman. The subject was as nese to him on Thursday last as it was no doubt to the Right Henour T . able Gentleman that morning. Till Thursday, it was perfecty . mahatma to him that any Idea seined that she meetings in Trey laLd had assumed so dangerous s character er appearance in the minds of the Irish Government, as to reader it immissary that such a step should be taken as that which was tgoilAs4 la the Circular Letter adverted to by the Right Ibouratibli Cleitindo' man.

With respect to 46 1 1 'question of the Right Honourable Gentleman, he believed it would be hardly necessary to state, that no pleasure of his Royal ilighness the Prince Regent could be taken, as no opportunity had occurred of submitting the matter to him, until the measure bad actually taken place. So soon, however a. the Wallow- 8 had been received, he (the Clumcellor of the Exchequer) had otonmenicated the fact to him. Mr.WARD inquired whether it was the intention of the Right Bleeourable GentICZILIO to submit to the House any document opal this subject ? t . ... r The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observeksamg ettek information as could be given should, of course, be given. —.1 It was usual, however, for a motion to be made for the produc tion of any paper which might be deemed essential, to the infor- Madan of the House, in order that Ministers might be enabled to form a judgment whether the motion could be complied with, l r evnottemtly with the interest. of the State. Mr. WARD then gave notice, that he should, on Friday next. / reeve that there be kid before the House a Copy of the Letter of Mr. Pole, and of any other paper which could tend to the els aidation of that subject. Mr. HU ICHINSON was desirous of being informed, whe nce. his Majesty's Ministers had taken immediate steps to per vert any misconceptioos which might take place In the minds et his Majesty's subjects io Ire:hand from the measure which had been adopted, as to their undoubted right of making known to Bertlarneat,by petitions, their grievatiees.

PARIS, FEBRUARY 11. RZFORT 61# THE SITUATION OF THE NUMB ARMY b PORTUGAL, JANUARY 20, 1811. The French army in Portugal, after passing more than a month in the position of Sabra', under the English entrenchments, has been under the necessity of drawing nearer the country whence it procured its supplies, and of proceeding to occupy, afew leagues in the rear, a line the left of which rests upon Santa • rem, where the second corps of the army is, and the right upon Tremes and Alcanhede, where the troops of the Bth corps are. The advanced posts are masters of the Rio• Major and the bridges of Celerico, Calheris and Asseca. Ourem, Leyria, Thomar, and Pombal, are occupied by the 6th and 9th corps, and by the reserve of cavalry, which pushes its detachments to wards Coimbra and the sea. The head-quarters of the army are at Torres Novas. Loison's division is posted upon the Zezere, upon which there are bridges of boats at Punhete and Martinehel, defended by sub stantial ides-du-I:mt.—The artillery, the sappers, and the 44th battalion of seamen, animated by the zeal and activity of their officers, have completed the ma terials for two bridges, of 80 boats each, for the con veyance of our troops to the left bank of the Tagus. The country furnished no resources for these immense undertaking!. The cordage, and even the imple ments requisite for cutting down the trees for timber, were entirely the production of the industry of our Workmen. .. . . • The amity is very well off, and has undergond to privation whatever. The soldier, up to this period, has been abundantly supplied with bread, maize, meat; and almost always with wine. The different regiments have immense herds of bullocks and sheep, a thirty days stock of biscuit, and 'a large quantity al maize wheat, and garden vegetables. The plains of Golgao, which had subsisted the army for three 1 months, were beginning to be exhausted; our detach ments went in search of corn as far as the banks of the Mondego.. The army has few sick ; their num ber is about 1200. There is not a single deserter; all that the English publish on this subject is corn pletely false. On the. contrary, two or three English, deserters arrive every day in our camp ; we do net in, J chide the Portuguese and German deserters. The soldiers are animated with an excellent spirit. They burn with anxiety to combat the English, and to merit the approbation of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, The cavalry has not in the least suffered • the horses are fed upon maize, and are in pretty goo d condition. The artillery has 3600 horses in good condition. It was on the 26th of December that Count D'Erloss joined the army of Portugal ~ with his second division, The division of Clarapecle was on the Douro, at La. mego. It had attacked and destroyed the corps un der Silviera and Tram. Foi's division was in front of Altneida. The English army have their advanced posts upon 1 the Rio-Major ; their troops are placed in echelon, on the space between that river and the entrenchments which cover Lisbon. Their head-quarters are at Cartaxo. The enemy have entrenched their positions, ' and mined the bridges that form the communication with our line. They have thrown upon the left bank . of the Tagus a division of between 12 and 15,000 men, who occupy Almeyrin and Chamusca. This corps has raised some redoubts opposite to the mouth of the Arm% to reader the passage of the Tagus at that point more difficult. The English have no bridge upon this river ; they pass it by boats, at Villa Franca, ilugeni, and more particularly at Azambuja. Abrantes is occupied by two Portuguese regiments of the line, and three regiments of militia, comminded by an English officer. The garrison feels a scarcity of provisions, whichOecasions desertion to a very con siderable degree. The English lines in front of Lisbon axe covered with redoubts, to which thd enemy have added some new works. These fortifications, and particularly the nature of the ground, render this a strong position. • The population of Lisbon, considerably augmented by the peasants, whom the English compelled to abandon their habitations on the approach of the French troops, are a prey to the most dreadful scar city. The Portuguese are discontented in the extreme. The position of the English becomes more critical every day. They make immense sacrifices to main tain themselves in Portugal. All their provisions come from England ; the very forage for their ca valry is brought in transport vessels. The English have formed in the interior of the i country companies of . Ordonanzes, to intercept our communications ; but the peasants that compose them are badly armed, and fly at the sight of our weakest detachments.—The Duke of Abrantes received a mus ket-ball in the cheek, whilst reconnoitring the enemy's advanced posts. The wound is hot slight, and excites no uneasiness. ( Signed) CAsossoocA, Aide-de-Camp to the Priam of Ealing. EirtisltXCl STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19. ',ma OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOO%.

Sunday his Maaarry, after giving an audience to Mr. PERCKVAL, walked on Windsor Terrace, accom panied by the Dukes of YORK and Catarina:or, and attended by three of the Physicians. The Royal Dukes afterwards left Windsor for London. It will be seen, by our Parliamentary Report, that the enforcement of the Convention Act in Ireland has become a subject of discussion in both Houses. It has been distinctly stated by Ministers, that the measure did not originate with them, and that they were unapprised of it until Thursday last. They do not, however, shrink from justifying its adoption by the Irish Government. Some of the Dublin Papers received yesterday, speak of prepara tions being made for the army to take the field at a moment's notice, and that it is intended to propose the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in that part of the United Kingdom. Twelve persona have been capitally convicted at Waterford ; four of whom were recommended to mercy, and are to be kept as hostages for the future good conduct and peaceable demeanour of the inha bitants who lived in the neighbourhood where the prisoners resided. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, at the same time, wished the public to understand, that on the first appearance of disturbance, these four men should be instant) , led forth to execution. Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS'S New Work on Juries, is likely to lay the foundation of some fund changes in the mode of prcsecuting Libels ; will at least so well instruct Juries, as to save Defen dants from the alternative of suffering judgment to go by default, rather than rely on a Special Jury. BREAD.—No Court of Aldermen being held to: day, the Loan MAYOR, after in inspecting the returns, ordered it to continue at present prices.. Letters from the French coast to the 16th, and from Paris to the 15th instant, reached Town yester day. We learn from the former that the embargo would be continued until the fate of the Hantburgh and Bremen vessels detained in this country.was as certained. So strickly was this measure enforced, that hardly a fishing-boat was allowed to put to sea. No news of importance from any part of the Peninsula had transpired at Paris on the 12111 instant. The packet from the Brazils brings letters to the 16th of December, which do nut communicate any intelligence of importance. Admiral Da Couacv had returned to Rio Janeiro, having settled every thing amicably with the Spaniards relative to affairs in the River Plate. The Portuguese Minister ARANJO, who accompanied the PRINCZ Rumor to the Brazils, died . in November last. The letters from Sweden by the Anholt Mail en courage expectations of an important change in the system of the Northern powers, with respect to this country, at no remote period. They state, that Rus sia, Denmark, and Sweden, are at length convinced of the ruinous tendency of the measures which they have been pursuing, and that they only wait a favour. able opportunity to restore ,commerce to its usual channels. Bans ADOT rz is reported to have expressed himself so strongly in favour of a renewal of the corn. mercial intercourse between Sweden and Great lain, as to have gained the entire confidence of all those who are so deeply interested in the re-establish ment of that conection. He is said on some late pub lic occasion to have taken an opportunity of declaring that he never would enter into any engagements eon- I trary to the interests of the nation that bad adopted him. A new tarif of commercial duties, to take effect from the commencement of the year, has been pub lished by the Russian Government. This is all (so say the letters from Sweden) that the ceaseless And overbearing importunity of the French Minister CA tS. taNcounr has been able to extort from the Emperor ALEXANDER, who has peremptorily rejected every pro position for acting up to the spirit and intention of the" Continental system." The new duties .ire cep ' sidered by mercantile people as extremely moderate ; and even for these the Government has 'deemed it :prudent to offer something in the way of apology.— •" These commercial regulations, (says the decree in Which they are promulgated) have been resorted to in consequence of the great increase of importations, which has caused the exchange to fall, and consi derably affected the nationat industry.* - Admittance into the Russian ports under this new Decree is, we understand, restricted to vessels artiv 7 ing from the United -States and the Brazils. The greatest regularity with respect to documents will be required on the part of thr:;:. All attempts to impose on the Russian Government by false papers will sub ject the vessel and cargo to confiscation ; and vessels with imperfect papers will not be allowed to land their cargoes, but are to be sent to the place from whence they came, to complete their documents. ,No British merchandise had been hurrie! in Russia.' The French Minister was particularly anxious to have this insulting part of his master's system adopted, but all his solicitations to that effectlailed. Indeed, the . Russian Government is said to have manifested so much firmness on this and other important'points, as to . ~render it evident that ALIWANDIR only waits for some. arrangement with the Porte to re-assume his indepen dence. France was so fully aware of this disposition, that she was believed to be secretly encouraging the Porte to continue the war against Russia. - ti/tit , A itlit -r- 1 The fleet with the reincoteetnents tot Lisbon, uncirt SirJnemssamtesspassedßerryhead on Sund .y m to the westwatd, and have bad excellent windh ever since.

Lost eight the splen. 1 ded Eastern Drama of Blisebard was revived at this Theatre with attractions superior to any we ever wit nessed at any scenic representation. The introduc tion of the troop of cavalry with real hort,es at the end of the first art, their subsequent march over the romantic rustic bridge, and tip the mountains, on their way to rescue Fatima, acted like electricity on the Tee• ta tors, and produced an universal shout of adrniraticmt but the storming of Blatbtard's castle, in the last act, was a collection of every thing that could be thought of to render the scene grand, sublime and striking! --As the Spahis rushed forward to attack the gate. the drawbridge was let down, and a detachment o ' cavalry were seen fording the moat. They success • sively sprung upon the stage, and the -whole depth of the scene was filled with combatants, foot and horse. The passing of the cavalry under the arches of the ' rampart, and their charge up the drawbridge, !eight be almost taken for the subject of a painting. Shiite of the horses appeared as it wounded, and obey fell i iti the stage, fainting gradually under their wounds.— t One horse which had thrown off his eide r , a nd was dying, on hearing the report of a• pistol, sprung up to " Fin the battle hour once more," and, after a singLl , eff'rt, fell as if totally exhausted. Indeed the sa gacity and spirit of the horses were ensiled to a height which we could scarcely have conceived. After the drawbridge was broken down, some or Ithese wonderful animals, with their riders on their backs, scrambled up the ruins in a direction nearly perpendicular, to the astonishment and even tenor of the audience. The catastrophe is sofas: altered in einicnn with this Magnificent part of the spectacle, that Birstl earl, instead of being carried off alive by Demons, dies after man. fully contending at the head of his troops. ~ 'The scenery and dresses of the performance are ee l tremely shewy.
