• - • . a ppear to him that Sir John WI apt to !pm jsis vision on the intelligence of the last hour, without m . slt ing any consistent plan. if the*Court were of opinion that he had acted contrary to a plain intima t ; on given him by the Duke of Wellington as a guide for his conduct, he thought that they must find him gal i t y on this part of the charge. What he conceived to : )e Lord Wellington's motive for giving th e or d er Was t his—The Spanish armies had generally fancied that their defeats were owing to not having a sub. cleat proportion of cavalry in their army. The Duke w e lliegton, therefore, thought that it would give irat confidence to the armies of the Due del Parque lad Elio, to have with them in Valencia, that small ;,.:s well appointed cavalry that was attached to the "' T iny ofigir Johti Murray. After *a variety of other hservations, the Judge Advocate concluded, by ex ess;ng his entire conviction, that from the high dia . ir.er of the Members who composed this Court, or decision, whatever it might be, would be such g ive perfect satisfaction to every .thinking man 4, the community. The Court then adjourned till ten o'clock on Moa b'', when Admiral Hallowell is to make his reply. BRUSSELS AND FRANKFORT PAPIRS. VIENNA, JANUARY 20. Lord Castlereagh has received from the Duke of Wellington a communication, containing views Ma. t i ve to Belgium. This Note is destined to have great influence iu the political system of Great Britain, and people think they already see indications of this in the relations of the English Ministers. Belgium and the Provinces on the left bank of tbo Rhine, °milled by the Prussians, are precisely in the same military combinations in respect of France, and without reci procal support, can have but a precarious existence. BRUSSELS, JANUARY U. The Prussian troops on the left bank of the Rhine have been for some days all in motion, which makes us presume that the fate of these countries is decided —the greater part are crossing the Rhine, and z ge. float dislocation is taking place among the others. HANOVER, JANUARY N. The birth-day of her Majesty the Qeeen of Great Britain, Ireland, and Hanover, was celebrated hers in a manner becoming the occasion. The Duke of Cambridge received the congratula tions of the Magistrates and persons of distinction ; in the evening there was a grand supper at the Prince's; the day before yesterday the States-General solemnly pronounced the union of the whole kingdom in one body, and the unity of rights and duties; after mature deliberation, the States have decreed.the pay ment of the arrears of the peasions, and salaries of the servants of the State. The Sittings are adjourned till ele 3d of April, by which time it u supposed that the different Committees will have terminated their la bour. Count Kulmansogge is gone on omission to London. ROME, JANUARY IL His Holiness bas bad a Note delivered to his Ex cellency the Chevalier lotbezeltim, Ambassador from the Court of Vienna to the Holy See, in which be expresses his just causes of complaint concerning the operations of the Cabinet of Vienna and at the Con gress. His Holiness violently com ' lst:That the Emperor of AustriA has permitted a Lutheran Church to be opened at Venice. %I. That the Congress has granted to the Lu theran and Calvinistic Sects in Germany the same rights as the Catholic worship enjoys. 3d. In the delay in restoring to his Holiness the possession of the Marches, and of the plan which seems to be formed to detach them from his domi nions. His Holiness complains also immediately of his Excellency the Ainbassador, who, while be was in captivity in Cesina, his birthplace, pressed him to return to his capital, assuring him that the Marches should be restored to him in a few days. His Holi. ness concludes by saying, that he shill oppose the loyalty of his people, and the zeal of his Ministers to the demands of those who shall attack the Sacred rights of the Holy See. His Excellency the Ambassador has returned this note to his Holiness, and refused to communicate such sentiments to his Court; reqdesting him, if he continues to entertain ideas of this complexion, to have them communicated to the Congress by his Plea niptentiary, Cardinal Gonsalve.

This morning we also received the Paris Papen of Friday. The intelligence from Vienna is now less contradic• tory than it has been of late. The fate of Saxony and Poland seems now to give no uneasiness, but such discontent prevails in Italy.

The following are extracts from the French Papers received this day : PARIS, FEBRUARY s. The Duchess of Angouleme yesterday visited the Duchess Dowager of Orleans, who is in a fair way of recovery. A great number of workmen are employed in re pairing the Palais Bourbon, which it is said will be occupied in the Spring by the Duke de Berri. Sarre' de St. Ciair s condemned to suffer death for the murder of an unfortunate woman of the town, has appealed to the Court of Revision. Lord Wellington passed through Strasburgh en the 27th of January. His Excellency continued his journey to Vienna without stopping. The steeple of Cologne was lately struck by light ning, and burnt to the ground, although it was fur nished with two Paratonneretes. VIENNA, JANUARY 23. The difficulties respecting Saxony, instead of:being removed, have increased. Prussia has rejected all the indemnities offered her as insufficient. Her Mi nisters say, that in 1806 she possessed Hanover, the cession of which must have been made in considera tion of certain countries which she was to receive somewhere else. They say, also, that she occupied *Hanover in the same way that Austria does the Ve netian States. In short, Prussia now insists upon Saxony, code quo cos*, and proposes a Pension to the King of Saxony. ..... Presumed to complain da t Illi. Austosa has permitted a Lul opened at Venice, and that the ( . 1 xi Lutherans and Calsinias is , , I , IL4' NAPLES, JANUARY 14. His Majesty yesterday held an Extraordinary Council, at which all the Ministers were present: For the first time in her life the Queen was present at this Council, which lasted siz hours. It seems that se veral interesting subjects came under discussion. The report is spread that Austria has bad her hands tied with respect to the guarantee given to our King, and that if she does not act offensively against him, she will at least cease to regard him as an •ally. The Court of Rome must have obtained notice of some thing of this kind, to have acted with so much vi gour with respect to the Court of Naples, which in less than two days might render itselt mistress of all the territories the Pope now has. It is asserted that his Holiness will soon repent of his proceedings with regard to our Court and the of ficers whom he has shut up in the Castle of St. An , gelo. and that orders have been given to the army.ttri enter Rome. On the other hand, it cannot be dis sembled that any new attempt on the sacred person of the Sovereign Pontiff will be instantly revenged by all the nations of Europe, and that the Scut ui:Jan King Joachim, the first and Lut of Bonaparte's 'Dy nasty, will be the first victim of the fatality which will induce him to take up arms. Truly every thing is likely to remind us of the downfall of Napoleon. There feigns at Court a spirit of inquietude, which they se2k in vain to conceal from the public eye, and in all classes dispositions towards a change which will bring us more and more to an understanding , with other Governments.. This state of crisis can not last. We have this day given No.VIII. of the Ghent correspondence, which completes the whole series of these very important documents. Nos. 2,3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 appeared in succession in the course of last week; Nos. 1,9, 10, 11, and 12 were published in the STAn.of the 23d ult. Our Readers should pre serve these papers, as they will be often referred to after the meeting of Parliament, when the American Treaty will come under discussion. This morning we received another file of New. York Papers. They are not later than some we have 'already had, hut they present a few articles worthy of a perusal. _ _ . A letter from New York, dated December 29, Kates, that only a few days before, Mr. MONROE, in a conversation with the Minister of a Foreign Court, resident in America, had declared, that it. was not the policy of the American Government to encourage commerce. Mr. Kauvzott, the Swedish Minister, it is said, was the person to whom he snide this decla ration. PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 241 Amongst the French forces arrived in the West Indies, at the islands of Guadalotrim and Martinique, (which islands were surrendered tp' Prance about the Bth of November,) are two divisioes,i . il dm French army destined for th e conquest of: tbe island ..of St. Domingo; which, it is said, will be undertaken in the spring, provided the agents of that Government, who are come out to ascertain the disposition of the 'Chiefs of Hayti relative to a pacification with France, shell conceive such a conquest practicable—in the event of the said Chiefs not agreeing to place them. selves and subjects under the mild and friendlY pro tettion of France. One of the French Generals, commanding in the Expedition, left . Guadeloupe about the lit of Novels. her last, for Jamaicag—the object of Ida visit to that .... island, was - understood to be fee the purpose of . • :wilt* the Goirernor-ciirieral, and Making the neces sary arrangement's piviaratorr to 'carryt' . — ig:Olreusive measures into execution, sd such be deemed ne tesiatft in pro' mAiog the interest of France. *. The two Chiefs of St. Domingo, Christophe and Pe don, have, for a considerable time past, been apprised. of the intention of the French Government, and, the: more effectually to resist the common enemy, (trance) have catered into a coalition, and formed a treaty offensive and defensive, by which they jointly obligate themselves, that shoUld France attempt a re duction of any part of their possessions, each 'stall call out the whole of his physical forces, and unite in resisting the enemy to the utmost of their ability. But to prevent the effusion of human blood, they (Christophe and Petion) are desirous of coming on amicable terms with France : and do agree, that should she relinquish the intention of subjugating', liayti, that they will grant to. trance the exclusive! trade of said Island, (so far as they at present pos. iii) interdicting the same to every other nation, except in such articles of necessity as France cannot supply. That French Merchants will be permitted to reside and settle amongst them, subject, neverthe less, to the laws of the territory under which they may live. That their persons and prc,perty will, at all times, be respected and protected. The Chiefs of Hayti have agreed, in case France persists in the invasion of their dominions, to turn, /ay walk, old destroy every City, Town, Fortification, and place, hey, by force of arms, may be com pelled to retreat from, and finally to take refuge in the mountains. Christophe has observed, ig that it must cost France much money (not to mention lives) before she can accomplish the destruction and capture of his posses sions. If (said he) she is bent on this, let her give me one half the sum such preparations will cost, and I'll rave her the loss of many valuable men and much trouble—for if she compels me, I have deter. mined on destroying every habitable place within my dominions, rather than they should fall into her hands." ANNAPOLIS, DECEMBER n. Upon the return of the British frigate Menelaus down the Bay on Sunday last, she came to an anchor nearly opposite this city, where she continued for the night. While at anchor, negrues to the amount of between twenty and thirty, the property of diffe rent individuals in this city and neighbourhood, went off to her, and were taken down the Bay. TAPPANHANNOCK, VIRGINIA, DEC. 12. 44 The enemy have at last left us, after burning a part of Tap pahannoclt. They then landed, and marched to Farnham Church, seven mit e gn the river—burnt the past-oface, and took away many s, and retuned unmolested to their shipping ; after defeating our small force, took from us one gun, wounded and tookpt • tar Capeaia Shaekleford, of the artillery, whom they He is doing well, though the ball is not extracted. Captain Barrie, of the Dragon, and Colonel Mal colm, of the marines, commanded this brilliant expedition, as they will nO doubt call it. Thirteen prisOners and dear fen of. theenemy, Captain Lomax has taken on to Washington." THE Kiwo's FIRALTH.- The following Bulletin was yesterday exhibited at St. James's: " Windsor Castle, February 4. The KING continues in good heal th, but since the last Report his MAIRSTY has been less uniformly tranquil than.he wis dining some precedisg months. 66 H. HALFORD, " M. Linux, "M. HEIRRDEN, " R. Wmus.” It is said that Government have come to the deter mination of materially reducing or completely abo lishing the Transport Board, as a separate establish ment, in the event of the ratification of the Treaty with America; and•that most of the officers will be transferred to other departments, retaining their rank and emoluments. The Lords of the Admiralty have intimated, that it is their intention to appoint convoys immediately for Nova Scotia and Halifax, to rendezvous at Cork. This measure is calculated to enable the British merchants to avail themselves of the renewal of eur intercourse with America the instant the Treaty shall be ratified by the PRIXIDENT. Monday last the . Portuguese ship Donna Anna,. Captain PEREIRA, arrived at Portsmouth from New York, with passengers for England and France; after landing her English passengers she proceeded for Havre-de-Grace. She sailed from New York on the ft7th December, and from New London on the 29th. A letter from Basseterre, Guadeloupe, dated De *ember 7, 1814, states, that a few days after Sir A. COCHRANE sailed, 4000 troops passed that Island to wards Jamaica ; and on the sth of December, 4000 more passed on for the same destination. Admiral Cocnstatia called at Guadaloupe, to request Rear. Admiral DURHAM to accompany him, but he being busy in making arrangements for giving up the ceded Islands, and, in consequence. not sufficiently ready, Sir ALEXANDER proceeded for the Gulph of Mexico without him. The troops employed in this expedition were numerous; and healthy. Each of the men of war bad a large portion on board. The seventy-tours contained, soldiers and sailors, about 1000 men— other ships in proportion, according to their size. We may now every day expect to hear the result of ,the attack on New Orleans. Our Officers and men were very confident of success. Yesterday, at St. James% a young' man, gen. teelly dressed, with mustachios on his lips, and having every appearance of a foreign officer, entered the Court, and made up to the colours which are fixed to the standard post in the centre ; he suddenly snatched them out of the post, and struck them, be fore the sentinel who was placed in charge of them could possibly prevent its be had a paper or letter in his hand, and his object appeared to be to have put it on the top of the flag, if he could have succeeded. He appeared an entire stranger to the place, as he attempted to leave it by the engine-court, which is not a thoroughfare. `The sentinel having stopped him so instantaneously,- it did not appear whether his object was to -steal the flag, or to say be had struck die English colours. ~• fl•:• P4Y4L INTEZIJOR • _ • • , e idtLikdt i nTf i lltUAßY .

The Briton had on board nearly 300 troop, 100 of which, the whole of them being below, were ordered to load their muskets, which having been done, the helm was put a-lee, and the broadside ex posed to the enemy, upon which the soldiers j'impel on deck, and poured into the privateer a volley; this did considerable execution, and caused the privateer to sheer off immediately in the greatest confusion.--- One of the soldiers on board the Briton was kaled. The same privateer has chased several vessels into port, particularly a Wtst Indiaman from Britol, on her way hither to join convoy, which would leave been taken, had not two sloops of war hove in sib l.r. Ooe of them, two miles to the leeward, made pursuit after the privateer under a press of canvas, but with little chance of success, as the chace seemed to out-sail her with the greatest ease. Admiral Sir Ttroams DUCKWORTH, on being informed of these circum stances, instantly ordered out all the small craft, to readiness'to proceed to sea. PORTSMOUTH. FEBRUARY 4.

SCILLY, JANUARY 33. On the night of the 27th instant the brig Queen Charlotte, RAYSID4 from Greenock for Jamaica, with a general came, was loft on a rock called Scilly (a small rock from which these islands take their name). Three passengers and one seaman were drowned ; the remaining part of the crew, thirteen in number, remained on the rock from Friday night to Sunday morning, and were taken off with great danger, as the sea ran very high. In the attempt to save this crew, JAMES TRaGARTHEN and CHARLES JACKSON, of St. Mat7's, were drowned, the former leaving a wife and nine children, the latter a wife, being - lately married. The greater part of the cargo floated on shore on the Island of Bayher, and WAS plundered by the islanders, but most of it his since been recovered by searching their houses, though good deal is yet unaccounted for.
