America, but alfo prevent the French them !elves from doing that which he had no doubt they would do ; he therefore gave general credit to the perfon who fornithed that plan, and hoped that we fhould be beforehand with the enemy, as our naval means were fu much fuperior to theirs. This was nearly the general view of the meafore ; but I fhould very much fear I cannot (late particularly, but can only Rate generally, that by Mr. Pitt's defire, I did talk meafures fur procuring further intelligence re fpeaing the !tate of Buenos Ayres. The intelligence came to me through Inch a channel as could be de pended upon. And Mr. Pitt did direa me to take preliminary Reps with ref.pea to Buenos Ayres, with a view to facilitate its capture by a Britith force, and Tome !hips were immediately put in commiilion for that purpofe. Were the views which Mr. Pitt had in form ing the Confederacy on the Continent, anfwered ? A. Certainly I believe not. . _ _ Do you knew of any political objeftions exill ing at the time I failed for the Cape, to prevent my having received inllrultionsor provifional inttruCtions, on the rub j eel of Mr. Pitt's views relative to South America ?—A. I can only Rate, that Mr. Pitt, it a converfation with me, Rated a political objeCtion, which had a certain weight with him at that time, for not undertaking immediate operations againft South America ; but I cannot pofitively take upon me to fay, whether, in cafe that objetaion had not exited, Sir Home would or would not then have received inßruetions to proceed to that part of the world. IQ Was tbat political objetlion removed, by the compete failure of the views Mr. Pitt had of forming the confederacy on the Continent ? A. I believe it was. I think you Paid, Mr. Pitt gave direelions for fome preliminary Reps, with refpea to BuenosAyres —as, in the event of failing on the Continent, he Mould commence fome operations upon the Continent of South America ; do you know of any circumftan fiances happening to change his opinion in that ref pat ? A. With refpeet to South America, I have no reafon to fuppofe his views were altered. Do you think his views materially increafed by the extraordinary and rapid fucceffes of the French on the Continent, and from the ports of the Conti. nent being that up against our trade to A. I believe they were. By the PROSECUTOR. Q .:, I with to a& whether you don't know from converfations with Mr. Pitt, previous to the failure of the then Continental Alliances, that he was in hopes to detach Spain by negotiation from her al liance with France ; and was not that the political confederation which he flatted, as having weight with him, not to commence any immediate operations againft South America ?—A. That was the political objection to which I alluded in my former anfwer.— He was very far from entertaining any very fanguine hopes of detaching Spain from her alliance with France. Q .I. Did Mr. Pitt at any time (late to yco, that Sir Home Popham had any politive or provilional in• flruitions to proceed to South America, after the redation of the Cape, in the event offuccefs in that quarter ?—A. Certainly I never underflood that he had loch inflrations. Q I with to al.: whether you took any further fieps, more than inquiring relative to Buenos Ayres ? —A. I did. Q._ Were any meafures taken, in concert with the Secretary at War, cr the Firfl Lord of the Admiralty, in confequence of thole inquiries ?—A. I can only flute an opinion upcn that ; I do not know from Mr. Pitt whether there were any Reps taken, or any force was applied for that purpofe. O Do you not know, from converfations with Mr. Pitt, that ke had in his contemplation the attack of Buenos Ayres, after the reduaion of the Cape ? A. From the converfations 1 have had with Mr. Pitt, I rather underßood rhat,,any attack on BuenosAyres was not in his aftual contemplation at the time Sir Home failed for the Cape of Good Hope. By the COURT. PR ESIDINT..-.-Q z.. After the political °Nation was removed, I would alk whether any orders were Wiled, or any force was prepared or fent to attack Buenos Ayres ?—A. I conceive the political ohjedion was noti removed until the defeat of the Ruffians at the battle of Aufterlitz. The (tate of Mr. Pitt's health was fuch, at that time, as co prevent his attending to public affairs, or my having any con verfati in with him upon that or any other fobjed. Re-examined by Sir H OME POPHAM. _ _ Were any preliminary Reps taken for the profecution of the attack on Buenos Ayres, in which the Admiralty interfered ?—A. A Rep was taken with a view to forward operations againil the Conti nent of South America, which had the lignature of the Lords of the Admiralty. I cannot recolleet the nature of it, nor the precife time ; hut it was about the period I received the plan all eady alluded to. Here the btOnefs of the day concluded, and the Court adjourned until nine o'clock the next morning. FOURTH DAy•••TUF.SpAY, MARCH TO. The Court met at nine o'clock. The PRESIDENT obferved to Sir Home Popham, that in the courfe of this trial he had produced a num ber of documents, read a variety of papers, adduced a great deal of teflimony, and anted of the witneffes a number of queflions, throughout the whole of which there was a west deal of irrelevant matter, not at all applicable to the quefliun referred to the Court. The President therefore, expreffed a hope, that in the remainder rsf the trial Sir Home would not embarrafs the contideration of the Court, nor un neceffarily protrad its proceedings, by adducing fur ther irrelevant matter, but that he would confine his defence to plain faits, and to fuch tetiimony as really bore upon the cafe ; for the Court had no other ob jai in view than that of doing junice to Sir Home and to the c , -untry, upon the question referred to their confideration. Sir HOME POPHAM thanked the Court for the in• dulgence with which they had favoured him in the courfe of his trial, and of which indulgence, he (aid, no perfon could feel a higher fenfe than he did ; and he hoped that every a& and expreilion of his bad marked the fenfe which he entertained of their kind nefs. He hoped that if, in the fituation he Rood, an anziius feeling of folicitude for the vindication of his profeifional charaeter and his private honour had in fe,fibly led him to trefpafs at any improper length upon their indulgence, or to trouble them with any portion of evidence nut quite relevant, they would not impute his condo& to any improper intention, as he had only ventured to introduce parts of the evi dence, apparently irrelevant when feparately confi dered, but which taken collellively, amounted to a fpecies of proof which, he believed, was not unufu. ally adduced on trials of this kind, as well as on thole in the ordinary Courts of Civil and Criminal Judicature. He pledged hinifclf, however, not in• tentionally to incur the difpleafure of the Court again, in the fame way.—(lo be concluded io morrow). P4fRLIAMEN TART PROCEEDINGS.

PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : Confab, for money, 641—for April 631—Ornnium 14 la Exchequer Bills, par to xa. tliL To-morrow we (hall lay before our Readers the remainder of Sir Hosts POP H *Pei Trial, which hav ing run to a greater length than we expeiled,we found it impoffible to comprize in our columns this day. The Sentence of the Court Martial was delivered yellerday, of which the following is a Copy : THE SENTENCE. " The Court is of opinion, that the charges have been proved againft the Paid Captain Sir Home POPllAlkt—that the withdraw. ing without orders fo to do, the whole of any naval force from the place where it is diredled to be employed, and the employing it in diftant operations againft the enemy, more efpecially if the fuccefs of fuch operations ihould be likely to prevent its (peaty return,may be attended with the molt redone inconvenieneeto the public fervice, as the fuccefs of any plan formed by his Majelty's Minieters for operations againft the enemy, in which fuch naval force might be included, may, by fuch removal, be entirely pre vented. And the Court is further of opinion, that the coadud of the laid Captain Sir Home Potful( in the withdrawing the whole of the naval force under his command from the Cape of Goad Hope, the proceeding with it to the Rio de la Plata, was highly cenfurable, but in confideratisn of clrcumftances, dock ad judge him to be only feverely reprimanded, and he is accordingly feverely reprimanded." Upon Sir Hoots Po►HAM'S getting out of the !hip into the boat, he was cheered by acclamations from a Taft number of boats which waited the iirue of the trial, and alfo from an immenfe multitude affembled upon the beach. As loon as Itr Hoots had landed, the acclamations were repeated, and the horfes were taken from the carriage that waited to convey him to his lodgings, which, Sir HOME perceiving, he de clined to enter the carriage ; and, after thanking the people for their attention, exhorted them to difperfe, in order that no improper imputation mould be at tached to their conduct. But the people continued to follow him until be reached the houfe of captain MADDEN, and exprefling as they went along the &onset intern!; in his fate. A Dutch Captain who left Holland on Saturday laR, Rates, that he was boarded by an Englifh (loop, the Commander of which informed him, that he had fallen in with two Dutch frigates at fea. The Dutch man was aware of this circumftance. He was aware, that thofs frigates were bound for Batavia, and were laden with fpecie. This information has been laid before the Admiralty. Some foreign journals have arrived, but their con tents are not of fuch importance as to demand a fa crifice of our columns this day. The lateß intelli gence from the army in Poland is of the Toth ult.— It is merely a decree of BONAPARTB, dated on that day, from Preuffich Eylau, announcing a confidera ble military promotion. An abltra4l of the fifty-ninth Bulletin of the French army is Paid to have been received, by which it ap pears that the Ruffians had evacuated the whole of the country between the ViQula and the Neimen, but nothing is Paid of the approach of the French to wards Koxigfburg. That the Ruffians may have fallen back towards that city, we can eafily believe ; the country be hind them being altogether incapable of furnifliing fupplies to an army ; but that the French have ad vanced, we have no reafon to think. Such, indeed, is fuppofed to have been the diffance between the two armies, after the battle of the Bth ult. that theft was little probability of another general engagement for feveral days. Both Commanders appeared to alt with extreme cau‘ ion. A report yelterday evening prevailed, of an en gagement having taken place between a part of Lord COLLINGWOOD'S fleet and the Spaniards. who, hay. ing attempted to put to fea from Cadiz, had been overtaken, and obliged to return to pert, but not till three fail of the line had been taken, after a run ning fight of a few hours.—We do not know on what authority this repor is given.—A rumour, fomewhat fimilar, prevailed at Briflol on Tuefilay ; namely, that three fail of the line had been taken, but it was not Rated where or by whom. Yellerday, about twelve o'clock, the Royal Family arrived in town from Windfor. At two o'clock his MAJESTY held a private Levee, which was attended by The Archbiemp of Canterbury, the Lori Chancellor, the Lord Prefident of the Council ; the Fit* Lord of the Treafury, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, the Mafter Ge neral of the Ordnance, the Judge Advocate, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, the Bithop of St. David's, Earl; Caroarvon and Aytu tor(' ; Lords St. John, Heathfield, and Elphinftone, and C.

Tuefday night a Comedy was produced at ti Theatre for the fiat time, intitled Town and Counir i sr Which is BO? written by Mr. Moarom, the tuc• cefsful author of feveral dramatic pieces. The princi• pal charaCters and main aory of this play are as follow: Plank Mr. C KFMIII c. Trot Mr. BLANCOA Cofey Mr FAWCE r The Rev. Owen Clecroy Mr. MYR aA f Reuben Glenroy Mr. Kemal c Captain (Amer)) , Mr. Baur+ roN Haw•buik Mr. Ea* ta r Hon. Mrs. Glenroy Mrs. GLOVYR Rofahe Somers Mils Bau N rote • Mrs. Trott Mrs. MATTOCKS Mrs. Moreen Mrs. DAVENPORT. Plaftie, a diffipated young man of fafhiun, and Cofey, a Rock broker, accidentally meet at the houfe of Mr. Trutt, a wealthy cotton manutadturer, father in law to the former—during thei r thy at his country houfe, Plaftic learns that Cofey is on his road to Wales, to vifit his ward, Mifs Rofalie Somers, whom he has placed at the houfe of the Rev. Owen Glenroy. The two families of Somers and Plattic arc at enmity, on account of an eledion con tea. Plaftic, from motives of ri.vengc. forms a dawn to (educe Milk Somers, (whom he had formerly ken), but not knowing her place of refidcnce, tells Coley he is going the (ante road, and re. quefts to join company—failing in this, he fellows him. Coley, after muck perfonal danger, from which he is rckued by the in trepidity of a ftranger, reaches Wales and recognifes his pretence in the perfon of Reuben Glenroy, whole attachment to his ward he difcovers. Reuben, called upon by the voice of &Ards, dur ing a fevere !torn of (now, runics out, and returns fuppectin g Plaßie, apparently lifelefs—who, when recovered and lading him. felt in the fame houfe with Mifs Somers, to further his de. figns. alfumes the name of Maitland. Circumftances aid his winces, and he not only contrives to carry Rofalie Somers from the protec tion of her friends, but alto to make it appear that the contented to an elopement with him, and fucceeds ill bringing her to town. Reuben, after having paffed the night on the mountains, rumour. ing diftreffed travellers, returns, and hearing that Raabe ha s eloped with the man be preferved, finks into apathy, from which he is roofed by the intelligence that his brother Auguftus, by habits of fafhiunable extravagance, is on the brink of ruin; hoping to lave him from the vortex of diffipation, he contents to accompany Cofey to London. Rofalie, notwithltanding all Plaltic's caution, eludes his vigilance, and accidentally meeting with Trot, is, by that gen. denim, placed under the protedion of the Hon. Mrs. Glenrey.- Cofey and Reuben arrive in town, the former tornifhcs the lattei with the means of relieving his brother's neecffities—Reuben meets with Mrs. Glenroy, makes !Ambit' known, and acquaints her with the purport of his vifit: and promifes to bring her hufband house. Reuben then goes to a fubfcription-houfe, where he knows his brother was to pafs the evening, and while waiting Auguftus memo from the gaming•table, and, goaded by defpair, is on the point of committing fuicide, when Reuben arrefts his arm, and prevails upon him to go home, having fief learnt from him that be has pledged his commiffiun for a gaming debt to Plaffic.—Reus ben's next interview is with Plattic—Hc redeems his brother's commiffion, and Plaftic withing to know to whom he is in. defaced, fattens to Reuben's Rory, and finds he is known • but Reu ben Rill thinking that Rofalie has voluntarily left her f riends, and that her affedtions are fixed upon Plaftic, and having pronged that his life &mild be devoted to her happinefs, prevails upon him to fign a written promife of marriage with the Lady.-.Reubea, in company with Cofey, meets Plaftic, according to appointment, at the houfe : of Mrs. Glenroy—Rofalie being introduced, an eclair ciffement takes place, which expores the ingratitude of Malik, and the young lady heftows her hand and fortune on Reuben Glenroy. The comic parts of the Comedy arifc from the incidents whichare attached to Cofey, a Rock broker and a Cockney—Trott, a great cotton manufadturee, and his wife, a would-be woman of ton—Hawbuck, a lad brought up in Yorkthire fchool—and Mrs. Glaircy, , a fprightly elegance. With thefe materials, Mr. Movrou has conftrueed a Play of confiderable intereft and good moral ten dency :—there is not, however, much novelty in the characters, and the (entiments are often common place, but the language is nervous and elegant ; and the wit, which is fcattered here and there, is, if not Rating, of good polifh ;—the auditor however, too frequently anticipates the joke by its antecedent.— Reuben Glenroy, as a ferious, and Cofey as a comic, engine of the Piece, are the principal (Ned, :—The former by KE Mims, and the latter by FAWCeTT, were well fupported; but they owed their chief attraCtion more to the peculiar Rile of the two Actors than to any intrinfic merit they pollefs as dramatic delinea tions.—The charaaer of Plaftie, which was very well fullained by CHARLES KemBLE, is but a faint (ketch, of a Libertine of the Lovelace School.-13sau cm AP.D'S Trot, originally written for MUNDRN, is an old ac quaintance with a new face ; Hawbuck, by EMERY, is a whimfical Yorkfhire caricature of a Latin-taught clown, who cannot (peak Englifh but barely neceffary to fuftain the bufinefs of the Play.—The reft of the perfonae are hprdly deferving of notice :--our old ac quaintance and favourite, Mrs. MmocKs, has little or nothing done tor her. The performance was much applauded upon the whole, but the voice of difapprobation was frequently heard, and we think fufficiently loud to convince the author that much pruning will be nectffary to render hiiPiece altogether acceptable.—When given out for r epetition, by Mr. KEM3LS ; the Houle divided, • but the Ayes evidently had it. A Prologue, written by Mr. TAYLOR, was rather coldly delivered by Mr. BRUNVIN ; and a dialogue Epilogue, or rather Eclogue, turning on the refpelliie claims of Town and Country, by BLANCHARD and Etwcurr, as Trot and Cofey, written by Mr. COI:MAN, followed the play, had a ludicrous effed, and was, much applauded. A handfome face is generally allowed to carry its own recommendation. To apply this Tema, k to things at well as perfons, it may be confidently afferted, that fo handfome and interefting a countenance, in all its features, was never difplayed by a State Lottery Scheme, as what the one prefects, which now courts the embrace of Fortune's votaries. Little, or no pane. gyric, therefore, does it Rand in need of. The eaten. five and powerful influence with which the Scheme already operates, is the bell proof of its internal as well as external merits. _ _ MARRIED.
