They are, however, unfounded. It is true, Government have received difpatches from his Lordfhip, and that their contents relate to that battle, but the details are not official—They are only loch as reached his Lordihip by other channels, and are in fubflance the fame as the accounts that have been laid before our Readers. Government have alfo received limilar accounts from Mr. Tmoaxrom. Difpatches have alfo been received from Peterf burgh, in which, it is laid, the Emperor ALEXANDER gives the molt folemn pledge that he will not Wien to any terms of peace until the French are di iven entirely out of the Poll& dominions; nor will he fantiion any that may be agreed upon with Pruflia, under the mediation of Aultria, that has not for their object the immediate evacuation of the whole of the German dominions occupied by the enemy fince the c,im mencement of the prefent campaign.—The latter part of this may, however, be in fome incurred. A velfel has arrived from Memel, after an uncom monly quick paffage. The Mailer, we underhand, brings intelligence that an account had been received at Memel of BONAPA RT 1 having fet out for Paris, having previoufly conferred the command oldie army on MASSIN A. It is not improbable that fuck a re• port might have reached that town, but we entertain curiliderable doubts of its accuracy. SOUTEI AMERICA. It is %%id] regret we announce to our Readers, that though the troops proceeding thither have been !mire time embarked, every Officer but the Corn mander in Chief on board, or in Portfmouth, and the bind favourable, the Expedition has not yet failed.

We have heard that that popular Officer, the Mar quis of HUNTLEY. goes out to command in Canada, vice General Hew rt a, deceafed. Lieutenant a:neral FRASER will very loon ftt out for his Government, Staff. The id battalion of the 39th have jufl arrived from Ireland. We lived on Thurfdav, bOftiflalce, that General GRosvawna was prefented to his MAJISTY, upon his being appointed Commander in Chief of the troops ',I South America : he was prefented upon his being 4opointed to the command of the 97th Regiment. Genera: IVHITLLOCriPwas prefented to his MA ?STY, upon his being appointed Commander in Chiet of troops in South America. On Wednefday evening the guard on duty at the gnat d-honfe clofe to Buckingham gate, were drawn nt ac anal to falute his MAJESI it on his leaving the Queen's Palace. It being very late before his Majelly lett the (teen's Palace, his grooms drove his Majefly's chariot pail the Palace, to exercife the horfes. The Officer of the guard millook this for his Majefly let ting off, and gave orders to the men to prefent arms, the drum and fife of courfe played, which induced the party of light-horfe, waiting at the bottom of Contlitution Hill to efcort his Majetty, to fet off with out him full (peed on the road to clear the way.—The Kt .n had in confequence to travel without a guard. An Order of Council has been Wiled. allowing his AJFSTY'S fubjetts to trade to and from the Ifland of Curac fubjeCt to the duties, rates, and regulations, the lame as aloft impofed on the Welt India Mantis. Like allowing the growth or manufaCture of the fam e ifland, to be imported into any ports of Great Bliktin and Ireland, TRIAL OF SIR NOME POPHAM. This very interefling trial commenced yeflerday morning eiaaly at nine o'clock, on hoa►d the Gla diator ; the proceedings were condu4led with much folemnit y. The crowd wa, very conliderable, among other.ditlinguiffied perfonars, we noticed the Earl of CAVAN, VirCOIIIIS MELVILLE, Sir GEORGE. PREvosr, Generals AUCKLAND, GOWER, ELLIOT, EVILEIGH, Admiral PATTEN, and a great coocourfe of naval and military charaaert, and Mcilis. HUSKISON, STURGES BOURN!, BAXILOW, &C. The profecution was finifhed by one o'clock, by the Honourable Mr. Pavis, Connie' for the Admi ralty—Sir Hosts was very firm, and in contefling fame points with Mr. .11.10/IS, (hewed great acutenels and ability. Admiral YOUNG, the Prefident, told Sir HOME that he might hays the indulgence of a feat, but of this he did not avail himfelf. Lord Mst.vit.ce had a chair near to Admiral YOUNG, and looked in the belt health and fpit its : he occafionally walked the quarter-deck, and joined in converfation with different officers. Molt of the cisteitions were put by Admirals STANHOPE, ROWLEY, Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, and the Prefident. The Court was adjourned to eleven this morning, pro forma: it is underflood that Sir Home cannot pmceed in his defence till Monday : the defence is of great length, and we are told will difplay great ability, this may be readily expo led when it is known that Dr. MiAernua and Mr. LAVIE the connect, gave their lid in drawing it up. The decifion of the Houfe of Lords. on Wednef day, on the appeal, HACKWELL L. jkFFRIES, is of great importance to the inferior Clergy. The canfe arole ut of a will, by which upwards of 200,0001. were dilated to l-e didrilotted among p.or Clergy. men of the Ellablithed Church with large families. The term poor Clergymen was confidered by the appel !ant as fo indefinite, that the will could not he exe• cuted, and that ground aff. , rded a quellion of litiga tion, which occupied the Can't of Chancery for feveral years, but was at latt determined in favour of the will. The decree of the Court of Chancery has now obtained the foietion of the bighen Tribunal in the Country, and the intention of the benevolent teltator, wilt of mole be carried into execution. The Committee of the Houle of Commons, ap- pointed to inquire into precedents of cafes of expel led Membets, in reference to the CAC of Mr. CAW• THORNS, exrell‘d from the Houle of Commons in 1796, and eleeted to ler ve in the prefent Pat liament, for Lancaller, have made their Report. The Cafes which the Committee have crllefted as relevant, amount to 66 ; and thefe they have arrang ed into five Claes, according to the nature of the charge, viz.— r.

The firlt dais i; divided into two, viz.—after legal conviction and without legal conviction ; and, of the former, the Report Dates only four cafes, viz. Sir Thomas Strickland, expelled in 1676, and Sir mon Swale, 1678, as Popilh Recufznts ; Mr. Wilkes, in 1769, for a lediii , ais libel, and Mr. Cawthnrne, the relent party, in 1796, for fraudulent milappli cation of the public money, as Colvinel of Militia.— Neither Sir Thomas Strickland, nor Sir Solomon Swale, were ever re elated. Mr. Wilkes was re elected in 1774, and is a cafe in point, except in I.:gar(' to the difference of the offence. Of the latter, viz —Offences againli the State, and frauds affetting the public, without legal conviction, the re• port enumerates 25 cafes, viz. Sir Robert, Fluid, Sir Giles Monperfon, Mr. William Sandys, Sir Jdhn Jacob, Sir Thomas Webb, Mr. Edmund Windham, Mr. Connilby, Mr. Long, and Mr. Hook, for being concerned in Patents of Monopolies, voted grie vances by the Houle. None of dick were re-elated. Mr. Piercy, Mr. Wilmot, Sir Hugh Pollard, and Mr. Albion' nhani, for high treafori and milprilion of treafun. None of thefe four .were reelected. Mr. llntchinfon, Mr. Francis Laffells, Mr. Robert lop, Mr. Luke -Rohintnn, for having fat as judges tin King Charles I. None of thefe were re eleCtecf. John Knight arid Mr. Duncombe, fur falfe inchife merits of Exchequer Bills. Two perfois, viz. John Kinglit and Sir Charles Duncombe, were repeatedly returned to Parliament, after that event, hut the Deport does not notice, whether they were the iden tical Members expelled. Lord Ranelagh, for ruif. application of the public money, as Paymafter of the Forces, not re elected. Mr. Ridge, for frauds and abules in contracts with Government, not re eleeted. Mr. Steel, afterwards Isllr Richard Steel, expelled in 1713, fur fcandalous and fedirious libels, returned for Boroughbridge in 1714. Mr. Foller and Mr. Car negie, for high treason, not re elected. Mr. Wilkes, for fear.dalour and leditious libels, re-elected.

Every copy of Ibis capital work contains Two Hundred and Fifty Sheets of Letter Prep, and One Hundred and Fifty Engravings, confequently it would confume neatly fix thoulana teams of paper, or as much as would load forty waggons. The En gravings and their collateral expences would. as may eafily be calculated, coil Nine Thonfand Pounds, and the whole \Vol k nearly Twenty•five Thoufand Pounds, giving contlant employment for R year to nearly Two Hundred Perfons !

Lion Lord SELKIRK'. Thoughts on Emigration, fo g gels, as this Empire mull, from its extended Colonial Conquer - le, be neceffitated to keep up a large perma nent military force, that (mall allotments of Crown, or Waite Lands, in the interi..r. parts of the kingdom, thanld bi offered to the Highlanders for cultivation, under agreement, in cafes of neglea or aband mment; that the fime (hall Levert to the original proprietors. A plan of this nature w• uld render produttive corn, vegetables, &c. (*rne of the dormant lands of the country, and in a century, perhaps, add a million of inhabitants to its numbers ; of the ptontife of which we are now deprived by the encouragement given to emigration. A Court of Common Council was held on Thurf day at Guildhall, at which the LORD MAYnR, fever al Aldermen, and a great number of Commoners at. tended. • Mr. Deputy BIRCH brought forward a motion to petition both Houfes of l'atliament againtt the Bill for enabling Papills to fill Commiffions in the artry and navy, and to profefs the Roman Catholic Reli gion, under the fandion of law, which was fecouded by Mr. SAMUEL Dixow. Mr Quin followed in a fpeech of confiderable length againft the motion. After a variety of argu ments, he conjured the Court not to place thernalves, at this enlighreiged period of civilized fociety, by agreeing to it, in a defcending, inlicad of an afcending fcale ; and call off the prejudice:7, antipaihy, and bigotry of the darker ages. He earnellly exhorted them not to lit in inquifition on the confeicnces of their fellow creatures and cr , untr ymen ; and not to carry the fpirit of religious and political flavery irPo the fanduary of that Goo, whole fervice was perfed freedom. Mr. Btu. fpoke againfl the motion. He did not feel all thole horrors at granting certain indulgences. to the Catholics which' had been deftaibed by the wroth!. Deputy, neither did he confider the men del titute of honour or honelly. He was petfuaded they regarded the fandity of an oath as much as other men, whether it was made to a Catholic or a Proteflant. He read feveral patlages in favour of the Catholic•.— Mr. Belt concluded with moving the previous quellion. Mr. S. DixoN fupported the queftion. He °Wiry ed, that according to opinions he had heard, a King aught always to change his opinion ro that of the majority of his fuhjed.s. In that cafe, a Sovereign might change as often as B Inaparte himfelf : he might be it Muffulman in Egypt, a Turk at Conflan tinople, and lo on, according to time and circum (lances. It tvaiwell known that the Catholics were not to be trotted, for they did not allow, like Pro tenants, that the King ought to be at the head of the Church as well as of the People. Could he once be perfuaded that they would 'be reilrained within bounds, he would like to fee them participaze in the 'odd thing; of the country. tgs • Mr. SLADE was againli the motion. He Paid the worthy Deputy reminded him flrongly of a Phan tafmagotia; he was always Winging forward fume phantom ur other to frighten them with.. S time ago he alarmed them with treafon and feditton, and now he wifhed to tertify them • with great apptehelt• lion and danger from the Catholics: The worthy Deputy had conjured up the Pope and the Devil, mid he only wanted the Preteader, to make his machinery complete. Mr. Slade thought the better the Catholics were ufed the lets there was to fear from them. Mr. Alderman kowcaorr fupported she previous queilion. He trotted, thatin that enlightened dais we (hoold not heatek)f perfecutiOn, but that m all his Majelly's fubjeas the rights of juftice Would be ad miniflered. He apprehended no danger. fiom the introduaion of perfolis of the Roman Catholic per. fuafion into the army and navy. Mr. WAITH MAN delivered his fentirneritc at length againll the original motion, and ufed many convin cing arguments on the uccafion, as well as leveral apt quotations from Locke. Mr. Alderman WATsoN faid;the Catholics of Ire. land only rtquelleii to defend this country, and to prote6l it against the general enemy of every religion. Ireland had 500,000 men to offer. Thefe ivere to contend agaiiill an enemy who was the foe both of Proteltant and Catholic ; and, in fait, of every nation upon earth. Can an initanee be (hewn- wherein the hint had failed in their ditty? The worthy Alderman Paid he knew them well, they were brave and manly in the field, and as anxious as any men to defend the BIWA empire. He therefore would fuppoit ,the previous queltion. Mr. Alderman Comas contended at cntne length againll the do trines laid down by the wnttliy De puty, and lamented that he had condueled himfelt with 10 much warmth. He was afraid, after what had been advanced by the Deputy againft the Secre tary at War, that there was fomenting like party ma lice in the bufinefs.
