" PENZANCE, MAY is. •" Arrived this morning the Portuguefe brig Anna and Jofeph, GRocH Mailer, from Madeira in eleven days, bound to Peteriburgh : one of the paffengers vitho Landed from her Dates, that on the ath ult. his Majelly's fhip Svatt.t.a arrived at Madeira, the Captain of which informed him, that he (poke Sir &omit. HOOD, ernizing off the Canaries, by whom he was informed, that BUENOS Areas was recaptured ty our Troops." The reports circulated yellerday, in confequenee of the arrival of Mr. STUART from the continent, of an atlitin having taken place between the French and the Ruffians, proves unfounded, though Rated in Va rious private letters from Yarmouth as well as in the public letter polled at Lloyd's. Mr.STUART came from St.Peterfburgh,andbronght with him important difpatches for Government. They relate not, however, to any battle, but to the line of condo& purfued by Aufiria at the prefent crifis. Some of the particulars have tranfpired, and are reported to be as follows:—That t he _ E MPELOR Of AUSTRIA had entered upon a long juflification of his conduel, in the Meeting of the States of Hungary ; and that the refult was an animated anfwer on the part of the . States, in which they commend the prudent Neu trality hitherto obferved by the EMPEROR ; exhort him to continue in the fame line of condo& ; and offer him all the refources of the Rate—the lives and fortunes of the Hungarians—to enable him to main tain the fame dignified pofition. This State Paper is laid to conclude with fupplicating his IMPERIAL MAJESTY to propofe his mediation to each of the Bel ligerent Powers ;—and to enable him to make this offer with effect, the land tax has been doubled for three years, and the Hungarian armed mafs is to be immediately called out. It is further Rated, that the EMPEROR of Antrrasa bad in confequence cffered his mediation, and had qconded, with a very powerful recommendation, fome certain propofals which had been made by the Emperor NavoLima. The Emperor ALEXANDER, from refpea to the re- Commendation of his IMPELS/IL AUSTRIAN MAJESTY, had deemed it incumbent on him to futimit thofe propofals to the feveral Allied Powers ; M. !Wrest,- rims bad in confequence been fent to his SwEDISH MAJESTY ; Mr..Svoarr had been fent to England; and the ArcbdulteCoNSTANTlNs was going to Vienna. Nov ossxr zOFF, it was reported, was about to be fent to the Emperor Navoxsos ; and the Duke De LIAN. COURT to the Ruffian Headquarters. There is Rill, however, a eircumflance of more importance :—the Court of Vienna is Paid to have made an indire& declaration, that Turkey' is her Ally, and in this charaBer has offered her Negutia tion between Ruffia and the Porte. Such is reported to be the fubhance of the ail patches received. How far this may be perfectly coffee we cannot determine, but we are inclined on the whole, to believe that Auhria has been, by fume means or other, induced to liilen to certain propofals made to her by NAPOLEON, and has in confequence adopted a line of condo& ernharraffing to the Allies. Orders were yeflcrday difpatched by Government to the Commiffioners of the Cufloms, to be forwarded to all the outpnrts, for laying an embargo upon all 'hips and vale's belonging to the Grand Seignior; and alto from the Admiralty, to the Commanders of King's Nips and privateers, to detain and bring in all were's, prt'perty, &c. hclorging to the lubjeils of the Ottoman Porte. ruittiGN JOURNALS. Hamburgh Papers to the 6th, and Dutch to the 12th inQant, have arrived. No military movements of importance have taken place fince the la accounts from the theatre of war. There journals contain the 7 t ft and 72d Bulletins of the French army ; but they are only remarkable for the change which hay taken place in the tone of thefe produaions. The King of Sweden, who was treated with fo much contempt a few months ago, now receives more deference and refpea from NAPOLEON. The eldefl fon of King Louts, who it was intended Ihould he the fueceffor Of NAPOLIoN, is dead. . Yeilerday Lord GAIL:01161 arrived in sown from Portfinouth, and had a long interview' with Lord MoLoaays at the Admiralty, previons to taking The command of the Channel Fleet. Yefterday Lord Mutaaavi left his relidence in Harley-thee, and moved into his Houle at the Ad miralty, and this day his Lord(hip gave an elegant dinner to a large party.

The fiat queflion was, whether or not Lord C9chrane and Mr. Elliott had rot nff!red themfelves to the Elett ors on the promife cf Minifterial fupport ? The fccond was, whether or not Lord Cochrane had been to wait upon the Duke . of Portland, at Burlington' Houle, and upon Mr Hufle;ffon, a Clerk of the Treafury ? and the third was, ssliy the Noble Lord had refufed to prefent the petition to the Houle of Commons, of his uncle, Colotwl Andrew Cochrane Johnflone ?—[A loud and tumultuous uproar took place.] Mr. SHERIDAN then came forward and olrftrved that he was happy in having been inilrumental in fixing the poll board to the poll, becaufe he law that the date of the poll gave the people fo much plea fore, for it was not bilis nature, as he had before fail, to fee a great number of people well pleafed without partaking in their happinels. The Gentle. man who had juft Addreffed them, he underftood to have put the queftions not to a (Ingle candidate, hut referred to them all. He wifhed he had put quellions to him, for if any one there put quelli.ns to him tefpeeling his conduCt, he would give a fair, frank, and fincere antwer, [Applaufe.] The gentleman who had jufl fpoken had joiily obferved, that the mesning of !he word independence was not well defined, and they could judge of the real independence of a man only from his pall conduct. The conflitution wa• a com mon word in the mouths of all, and there were four defcripti ms of perfons who under flood it in different fenfes. The firlt were thole who had a blind vene• ration for the Conßitittion, and thought that what ever abufes might creep into it, no reforms ought to be attempted. With aide be did not agree. The lecond confided of thole who liolced only at the abufes of the Conftitution, and thought it fo involved in abufes ' that it was not worth preferring. •With them he did not agree. The third were Ode who look with ieverence and attachment at the Conflittt tion, but at the •fame time obferved many abufes which ought to be correCled. With theta he did agree [applanfe.] The foutth was that Oafs who wifhed things to remain as they were, aecaufe they loved the Confiitution merely for its abufes, which contributed to their own profit and advantage, and them he deteßed [load applaufes]. Thefe were the men, he would venture to predict, who would be the dellruElion of the Conftitution, if ever, unfortunately, the Conftitution Should be dellroyed [loud applaufe]. Thofe who erred from too gloomy a view of the ' abufes of the Conftitution were not by any means fo dangerous, or fo much to be condemned, as thnfe who fattened upon the abufes of the Conflitutiors, and whofe attachment, to it was founded upon thefe very abufes [loud and continued applaufe]. Having raid fo much, he would only add, that it was impot fible for any man who had a popular feeling not tq be gratified at the delight which they felt at the flaw of the poll, and he was highly gratified—but with this explanation, that he looked not to thole who had polled, but to thofe who had not p^lled— [laughter]. If he had been difmayed by difficulties and by majorities, he would never have had fu many opportunities of (landing up in defence of the rights and liberties of the people—[Mr. Sheridan retired amidft (hoots of applaufe]. Lord COcHR•NE— u Gentlemen, I do profefs my felf fat isfied with the (tate of the poll this day, equally fo as I have done upon every day on which I have had the honour of prefentin* myfelf before you. I troll that the independent (Olt of Viisamitiller will rapport thofe only whom it thinks moll fit, and tha e the EleOors will agree with wee, that every candidat e ' ought to Rand alone upon this occaflon. I hair already ma unequivocally pledged myfelf upon my honour that I (hall Rand alone In fupport OF that which I am determined to purfueosSeveral (portions have been put to me, which I (ball endeavour to anfwer to your fatisfaaion. In the firft place, with refpea to Miniierial influence, I have all my life deprecated the idea of the interference of Miniflers in popular eleaions. I have prefented myfelf before you, you, not to be brought in by any faftion. lam dependent; that is, I hold myfelf wholly unconnated with any Minifierial party, excepting fo faras their condo& and meafures tend to the good of the coun try. In anfwer to the firft queftion, as to Miniherial influence, I may Rate, that I never made any appl:- cation, or remteft, fuch as that which has been al luded to. I (tumid defpife the man who would make fuch a requelt, as much as I defpife the per fon who made the infinpation. With rape& to the Duke of Portland, 1 can truly Rate, that I had heard a re port, that the whole influence of hlinifiry was to be given to Sir S. Hood, or to any man who would be ftsbfervient to their views. Ido not fay that Sir S. Hood was one of that defcription ; but I do affirm, that one member was brought in by swans of that gallant officer. I went to the Duke of Portland, and aiked if the report which I heard, was founded in fail ? The anfwer war, that Sir S. Hood had the gond wi(hes of his Majefly's Government. I Rated that I thought that the interference of Government. in popular and all other Eleaions, was highly uncon- Ititutional. With vernal to the other Gentleman (Mr. Hu(kitlon) whole r.ame has been mentioned, I MHO what I have already mentioned to you here, that no interference (tumid take place, either in my be half, or that of any other Candidate. Gentlemen, I have been reproached with not having brought forward meafures for the amelioration of the Rate of the Navy, and the reaifying of abufes, when I was in Parliament ; and, Gentlemen, it becomes me to' explain my reafons for not having done fo. I had folfered extremely in my health ; and when I landed at Plymouth, I was not able to walk. When I came here I found myfelf unable to attend Parliament; I was prefent, however, at the introduaion of the, Catholic qnellion, and had it gone forward, I lhould, certainly have given my vote. The only divifion at which I was prefent, was upon the difcußion of the abflraa queßion, of which you have heard enough. It appeared to me, that a degree of blame was at tempted to be thrown upon his Welly, who I think did not deferve any blame ; fo far from it, I am con vinced he has been the proteCtor of our Conftitution, and the defender of our rights. With refpea to the pledge. of which you are all perfealy aware, I was of opinion, as I hill am , that hi s Majeßy h ad a right to aft in the manner he did, and that he has afted according to the Conftitution. I under hand that I was accufed of leveral other matters, after I left the huflings yefterday. Gentlemen, as to there accufations, I may obferve, that he ought to he a perfon of ionic degree of charafter and reputati-n who (hould draw an anfwer from me upon fuch an occafion.—[Great interruption and hiffes.)---Gentle men, I (hall fay at leak that the perfon woo brings forward fuch accufations, ought at leaft to give f6me degree of proof for his affertions, for, without fain degree of evidence, no filch queßions as thofe which you have heard, ought to be put. My accufers feem to exist& that the proof fhould come from me, and not from them. It is eafy for any individual in fo cietz to trouble the peace of his neighbour, by laying to hem, in the prefence of a large affembly, Did you kill fetch and Inch a perfon, or did you Real fo and fo from another ?" But I put it to your can dour, whether loch implied accufations ought to be at all attended to, unlefs Come evidence be at the fame time adduced to luppntt them ? The Noble Lord concluded, with returning his grateful act:now: ledgments to the Electors, for the exertions which had tiled in his behalf. Mr. JENNIaGS then came forward, and obferved, that Sir Francis Burdett unfortunately could not be preterit when thefe queßions were put to the various candidates. If he had, there would have been no equivocation in his anfwets. He would have told them, that be was a friend both to the Monarchy and the Houle of Peers, but at the fame time the advocate for reform ; and that, unlefs the high (Pit it of Englith liberty was kept up, both the Crown and the Peers would petilh together. He was anxious that Mr. Elliot (hould not efcape in filence on this occafion— [A laugh j —They (hould bring him dißinaly to pledge hirofelf that he was their friend. He would ilk him, Was lit not one of the Committee of Brewers, appointed to petition for the lately propofed extenfion of the Excife Laws, to the bane of every family I Did he not mean to gag the mouths of the people with his own beer, and to prevent them from enjoy. ing their horne-brewed ale ? Do not let him efcape you on this -ccafion (a voice from the crowd cried, Stop him! Stop him !) As to two of the candidates, the people could not doubt that they had the lupp .rt of Government. He did not think that Lord Cochrane would alit it in the fame way as the other, but hill he Was convinced that he had it. When they tecollefted the enormous power and influence of Government, they mutt be convinced of the neceffity of continuing their exertions. Though Sir Francis Burdett Rood fo high upon the poll, he was not yet out of danger. Mr. Eoosor then came forward, and the cursorily of the crowd for a time got the better of their ufual feelings. He denied the charge now made againft him in too, and afferted, that there never was any fuch' Committee of Brewers as that which had been spoken of. The Electors knew that the Home-brewed Ale Tax was a mealure of the late Adminiftration, which they had been forced to abandon from the general difapprobation of the country. He would never en deavour, either by individual influence, or any other means, to gag the mouths of the people with his porter. It was not for him to praife it, or to fay whether it was good or bad, it would enjoy the free courfe of trade ; but he had reafon to expert that his name would Rand higher on the lift of brewers next year than it had ever done. He then proceeded to fubmit to them his political principles, but the mob became fo vociferous, that we could not colic& the purport of his obfervations. Mr. GIBBONS adverted to the condo& of Lord Cochrane, and faid, that he was a political impOltor. He had now confell'cd that he had been at Burltng ten-houfe, and he night fairly retort the lie ppon hioa. He again I that he had been elelited for Honiton by bribery. He affirmed that he was 11, e relation of Lord Melville, though the Noble Lord had denied it, for Lord Melville, and a near relation of Lord Cochrane's, had married the tillers of the Earl of Hopetown. Here was palpable fraud and impofture, and they might judge from the pa(t of what the conduft of this relation of " Wha wants me ?" would be in future. Mr..Powsa contended that it was unbecoming in the Noble Lord to accnfe the gallant vete: an, Lo r d St. Vincent, in his Wince.. It ought not to be for gotten that Lord Si. Vincent was the perfon who had inflituted the inquiry which had led to the trial Gf Lord Melville. He paid feveral compliments to M r . Sheridan, who had always been the friend of the people, and alfo to Sir F. Burdett, and concluded by exprefling his hope that the Eleitors would fupport them in preference to the other candidates, who were two locults fupported by Minillets to affil then: in devouring the People !
