'4 - ) t ELE VENTH RE PORT, • .._ - -‘-of '3NI THE COMMITTEE ON THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE, ' ETC. OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. HON. G. VILLIERS, PAYMASTER OF MAINES. --as Judging it expedient to pursue thei r i nqu i r i es into the several subjects which engaged their attention during the former Session, for the purpose of I:•ying before the House such arther information as has been received upon each to the close of the present Session, they proceed to submit the result, in the or der of their several Reports. Upon the subject which forms the first part of the fifth, it appears, that the original bond given by the lion. G. Villiers, was discovered in June, 1810, by one of the Clerks of the Admiralty,. employed to ar r..ilge the whole of the marine papers, iv the midst of one of the bundles of marine monthly returns. Mr. Bicknell, Solicitor to tha Admiralty, produced to your Committee the proceedings for recovering the debt due to his Majesty on Mr. G. Villiers's ac- . cinints, as Paymaster and Inspector of his Majesty's Royal Marine Forces, which are printed in the Ap pendix. Upon the recommendation from your Committee, that the office of Paymaster of Marines should be abolished, and the duties transferred to the Navy Pay Office, reference was made from the Commissioners of the Treasury to the Treasurer of the Navy, which ;;axe rise to correspondence and discussions, which will be found in the Appendix. After perusing and consideiing these Papers, your Committee see no reason to alter the opinion given in their fifth Report, p. 6, with regard to the abolition of that office. . An account of the proceedings adopted for the re covery of the 66 debt," which amounts to 02G1,507, is published in this Report. By this statement, it ap- Fears that £56,462. 19s. resulting from the sale of estates, &c. has already been received ; and it adds, under the head 4 , to &expected," the sum of £79,749. ' 17s.— These two sums, that is, including the large one w! ich is " expected" to be received, make toge ther .C 136,212. 15s.

NAVARRE. The wreck of the army of Campo Verde has in creased the ban!s of Navarre. General Reille, in formed of their movements, stationed all his cavalry on the Banks of the Ebro : they have picked up some hundreds of these persons, among whom are four Officers. On the 23J July, General Pannetier surprised Mina, between Estella and Santa Cruz de Carnpero, and forced him to fight, throwing him back upon Sortada, which was attacked and carried during the night ; several of the brigands were killed, some taken, with 60 horses. The next day General Pannetier attacked a column which endeavou►ed to join Mina ;- he pursued it during the whole day from mountain to mountain. The brigands lost in these two affairs more than 600 med killed and wounded. General Busc joined General Pannetier in the evening, with his column, 2000 strong. General Reille also arrived with 250 hussars of the 9th. The pursuit acquired fresh vigour ; in fine, after ten hours march in the mountains, the cavalry came up anew with three bat talions of Mina and 150 cavalry in the woods of Bay- Forry. The French cavalry pushed forward upon the wretches ; a whole battalion was destroyed ; 300 were killed, 250 made prisoners ; the two other bat talions, constantly pursued by our troops, dispersed in the rocks.

By the following extract from the Dublin Evening Post, it appears that the Catholics are determined to perse vere in their system of Petitioning the Legislature " DUBLIN, AUGUST 17. GALWAY MEETING.—" Sunday a Meeting of the Catholics of the county was held in the town of Gal. I way. This meeting was more numerous, and in every point of view more important, than any within the re collection of the oldest inhabitant. Resolutions were unanimously passed vindicating the subject's right to petition—that invaluable privilege in which all are concerned. The Resolutions also express a fixed de termination to sef.lc the immediate and total repeal of the Penal Laws affecting our Catholic Countrymen, and for this purpose Gentlemen were appointed to manage the Petiti.m. The Meeting was attended by all the Protestant Gentry at the Assizes—by'the Mem bers of Parliament, and by the High Sheriff, who, with his Officers, headed the Catholics, in number above 4000, in procession through the town to the Town-hall, where the Resolutions alluded to were read, considered, and passed unanimously. •" We hid written so far when a further account of th;s interesting and important meeting reached our Office, but we have only time to add, that amongst those present were the Members of the Grand Jury— the Mayor and Corporation in their regalia, and many other persons of the first distinction and consequence. ‘. The Catl!olics of Kilkenny meet this day. The Catholics of Sligo are to meet next week. The Ca tholics of Kerry are also to assemble in a few days. The Meetings will-be general over our insulted, op pressed, yet still spirited land." Intelligence reached the Admiralty this morning of th,! sate Arrival of the Jamaica Fleet, under convoy of the PELORUS sloop of war. The Gazette of last night contains the Order of the PRINCE REGENT for the further prorogation of Par'. Lament to the 4th of October. The name of the Gentleman, whose arrival from St. Petersburgh we mentioned yesterday, is GEL9ONS. It now appears that the greater park.of the 200aships, which have arrived in the Russian ports, are Ameri cans. On their way to the Baltic they came North about, to aveid being carried into British ports, by our cruizers, or captured by French privateers in the Channel. Their cargoes consisted of coffee,.sroposed. from St. Domingo, Havannah sugars, andpotton ; with which articles, as we before stated, the markets were glutted for a time ; particularly with the last,. which could not find purchasers at Gd. per pound, a' price which would be productive of considerable loss to the owners. From all this, it would appear, that the mission of Mr. QUINCY ADAMS to St. Petersburgh has been attended with considerable advantage to the mercantile interests of his country. It has been lately mentioned that great precautions are employed to prevent the intrusion of strangers into Sweden, and even the admission of the subjects of that country if they come from Great Britain. In pur suance of this system, welearn that the Consul herehas instructions to grant no passports whatever to persons proceeding from hence to the Swedish territories. Accounts were yesterday received from Malaga to the 2Sth ultimo. From them it appears that our cruizers so closely blockaded that port as not to suf fer any commerce of export or import ; so that the ten per cent. duty imposed by Souvr was not lately to be very productive to French cupidity. The dis tresses of the inhabitants were great, from the cessa tion of commerce and the pressure of requisitions.— Several individual} - belonging to the French garrison in Malaga are sAI ito have been lately c'ut off bylas sassination • and, either on this account or to preserve the health Of the troops, the French have been remo ved from the town, and cantoned on the heights abOve it. his added, that the French have threatened to lay Malaga in ruins shosdd these private assassina tions continue. • • . • mr , THE KMG. Sir HENRY HALFORD arrived in town yesterday, and immediately v.aited on the. PRINCE REGENT t o communicate to his Royal Highness the state of the Kixo, which, we regret to find, is still more unfavour able than announced in the Bulletin of that morning ; for, besides his MAJESTY'S other afflictions, he was in the course of the day seized with a violent fit of coughing, which, in. his lamentably exhausted state, produced of course the most alarming effects. The PRINCE REGENT, in consequence of tbe communication made to him by Sir HENRY HALVORD, set out for Windsor at seven o'clock yesterday evening, accom panied by the Doke of CumszaLAND. The following is the Bulletin of this morning ; by which it appears that his MAJESTY has experienced j some amelioration (Allis distressing malady : " WINDSOR-CASTLE, AUCNST 21.

The Dirke of Sussex, who has been much indis• posed, was yesterday pronounced out of danger by his Physicians. His Royal Highness the Puirsck; Rzoatur had not time to give private audiences to any more than those we stated yesterday, at the Court, which he held at the Treasury Chambers, in consequence of his appoint ment to receive the ALGERINg AMBASSADOR for his Excellency to take leave of hit ROYAL HIOMNESS pre. viousto his Excellency leaving this country on next Monday. His ROYAL HIGHNESS, in consequence, g_ave private audiences to the Marquis WELLESLEY, Earl of LivErtrooL, and General MAITLAND, at York House. The Duke of Yong. left town early this morning to attend his Roy.a Brother the PRINCE REGENT, at the Review at Winkfield Plain. Lnrd HastaiNarox gave a grand dinner, on Mon day, to the PRINCE REGENT, Dukes of YORK, C:.A• HENCE, and CUMBERLAND, Lords YARMOLTII, H. MoottE, and General KEPPZI..

Sir THOMAS BARING, Bart. of Stratton Park, com menced, on Saturday last, a canvass of the freemen at Winchester for the next election. Sir THOMAS was accompanied by the Earl of Norrnesa, Jolts RICHARDS, Esq. and Captain Youso, of the Winches. ter Volunteers. • The Cornwall boroughs are all in a bustle in the prospect of a general election. Penryn, Tregoney, Grampound, &c. have been canvassed, and: recan vassed. Thursday the Friends of Independence and Reform held their annu2l meeting and dinner at the Bear Inn, Reading. J. L. Motsce, Esq. took the chair; when several Resolutions were unanimously adopted by the meeting, and a Committee formed to conduct the business for the following year. The Duchess of RICHMOND and her daughter art{ at present on a visit to Sir H ERVEY and Lady BRUCE, at Downhill . and it is her Grace's intention to spend P ,me days th ere, and in viewing the Giant's Cause. way, and the other interesting parts of the coast, be fore she proceeds on her journey to Scotland. 1 Earl SPENCER has arrived at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, with the Marquis and Islarchioness of WIN CHESTER, Countess of CLANRICARDE, Lord \Ks- SHIRR, and Lords HENRI and G. PAULET. HAYMARKET THEATRE. —The Comedy of The Wen , der I was again performed to a numerous and ap plauding audience. Few legitimate comedies can boast of equal merit in the representation. ELUSION, in Don Felix, was happy beyond praise; and JONES, in Li:m.4 was all that a critic could require in the 1 flippant hero. Mrs. GLOVER'S Violante was as happy las her first personation of that character, and the whole was received with rapturous applause. An idea of the flourishing state of the coal trade at Whitehaven may be formed from the circumstance of ilot less than 19,661 waggons of coals having been shipped off from the Earl of Lowanact's works in six weeks, viz. between the Ist of July and 10th of August instant, being an average of 3277 weekly. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, there was the most violent storm of rain in the metropolis we ever witnessed. It continued for nearly half an hour with Unabated fury, and occasioned considerable mischief in various parts. The horses were terrified on the loads, and many became ungovernable. A gentle man driving a gig was thrown out in the Wandsworth Road, and bruised in a shocking manner. The horse, during a loud peal of thunder, started across the foot path, dashed through a fence, and broke, the gig to atoms. The hackney coachmen and others were com pelled to quit their boxes, and to lead their horses. Monday afternoon, a genteel dressed young fellow 1 was detected in the act of picking a gentleman's pocket of his watch, as he was passing through CM. berwell Fair. The gentleman seized bold of him. and delivered him over to the mercy of the populace, when he aas led to the pond upon the green, and se verely ducked. If it had not been for the interference of some humane persons, he would have been suffo cated; he was then suffered to escape. A few nights since, several robbers entered the jewellery ware-houses belonging to Messrs. Hamlet, to Sidney's-alley, Leicester-square, by means of lalse keys or picklock instruments, and stole diamond, pearl, antique and other rings and bracelets and orier jewels, to the amount of several hundred pounds. Died suddenly, on the 12th inst. on his arrival at Derby, to be exhibited at the Races, (on which day he attained the age of 31 years), John Cummin•-• only 31 inches . high. He was interred on TutsJa". in Si. roles. Church-yard, Derby. •
