" It is onivetfally know-, that when we were in a Rate of pm of round peace with Engl tnd, hoftilities were commenced by that coontry, by the capture of three frigat. s ; one was deroyed in the contelf ; a regi ment of infantry deltined for Minorca, was made pri loners ; many velfels laden with grain were taken; and others tinder the burthen of one hunched tonsovere de flroyed. When were there robberies, di c k acs of t, ea . chery and arbillittation committed ? When our Sove reign a,!rni:ted the Hiles of that nation to a free and un ditturbed commerce,and gave the neccilltry fupplies to their (hips of war. What proflinacy and degradation in the one ; what honour and elignity in the other.— On the view of this perfidy. is there a Spaniard v. 11( le indignatian will not be Excited ; is there a foldier who will not grafp the weapon ofeb_ll:uCtion ? aVe feamen, three hunched of yr ur brethren have had their niarTled member • feattered to the winds ; one thoufand ate deprived of the light of Heaven in the dungeons of your enemies. Valiant fiddlers, an equal number of your companions in arms are deprived of the fwords they knew how to wield, and are carried to a remote Maid, where they will either perilh with hunger, or he conflrained to ur.ite with the ranks of the detefled foe ; remember, then, your facred obli gations. Generous Spaniards, a few innocent and defencelefs fiffiermen are reduced to the Lowell flep of human milery, and their aillifted wives and defin ed °Mining, implore your pity, and demand your protedtion. In fine, thoufands of families, expelling fupport from the wifelorn of the Pate, in a leafon of famine, are brutally deprived of the lublifience pro vided for them, and exclaim, with the voice of thun der—Vengeance ! Vengeance ! Let Its then, my countrymen, obey ; the King expects it, and honer''r and reqidre it at cur !mitts. If the Englifh have forgotten that the Wood which circulates in the veins of Spaniards is the same which flowed in the breath of thole which triumphed over the Carthagi nian, the Roman, the Vataial, and the Saracen, it is time that the recollation (boob! be revived ; it is time to convince them that we v.iii preferve the fame of our anccliors unkallied, and (hew to them that we will perform One ditty to pollerity, if it require that our ranks fhould be thinned, to add to the glorious catalogue of Callillian lice.ifrn. If there diltant Wan ders have attributed our defire to ;:rell.rve within our borders to lamentable weakneft, or to dif honourable fear, let them at lea a be taught that the latter can never difgrace the bofum of a Spaniard, glowing with all the ardent and liberal imprefliors pe culiar to his country. Qi/ickly will we teach them, that a loyal, virtuous, and brave people, attached to religion, and enamoured of true glory, can never be inflated with impunity, much leis can it endure an ;finance of fanguinary violence directed againa its dignity and independence. If the Englifh, unmind ful of the principles of humanity refiretted among ci vilized nations, abandoning all Ihame and remorfe, have only fought to obtain poffeffian of cur treaftires, which we fhould have peaceably delivered to them, had they been entitled to the property, we will recal to their memory a fad which we: ended had been imniverfaily acknowledged—that the abufe of power, the violation of public tight, and the mad eat:dies of dcfpotirno have ever been the awful prefage of the fall of Empires. Let them hide their dithonoured I :rods; Itt them tremlL ir. the onomplation of this i` -gotten wealth ; let them (budder before the bloody sitoms of their aggreffion ; and let an eternal mark 4 t i-famy be impreffed, and univerfal deteltati.:l be excited for there examples of public atrocity. " Valiant Spaniards ! the nobleneft. of your charac ter no longer adntits you to be int:Clive witneff..s of there difgraceful fcenes. The love of our 'King for his people is perfeCtly known, and leaves no doubt that his numerous vaffals will coincide in his wilhes, and gratify his expettation. To arms then, my fel low-Soldiers and countrymen, and engage in the war in the way molt likely to hurl a terrible darn/lion u; on our enemies ; but while we fpread the terrors of battle, let us not, in imitation of our enemies, de fers thole general maxims of humanity which are re fpefttd by all regular Governments. In order that the Chiefs of the State may proceed is this impor-! tau bands with the energy which the occafion re-; quires, and the King con:mands, 1 proclaim, in his, Royal name, that it the ftieeds of any enterprife fhould not be equal to the «ifdom by which it is plan ned. and the gall:oat v with which it executed, they will not be confidered refpoMibk for the event, bur' they will be liable to the confequenceb if they du not put in aaivity the full extent of the refonrces with which they ate entruited. N.ltions not provided with the means s% ith which we are fu pplied, and placed in lituations much more critical, have known fu well how to ceconomfe their Emile(' powers, as to mak: that people which dared to trample on their rights. fl.el the effeets of their rcfentment. Fan the public ardour into grneral conflagration; avail yourfelves of the magnanimity of a whole country, and predi gks lofe their charaNer and become familiar. " Under the prefent circumtiances, it becomes the Governors of the Provinces to (pread the generous, fp:rit of enthufiam arnongfl the troops under their caters —it behoves the venerable dignitaries of the Church, and the Civil Officers in the various political departments, to animate all orders and tanks of men to atTert the honour of their King and Country, by the powerful influence of example, and by the attrac tive charms of eloquence. In cafes out of tit: ordin try current of events, it will be especlitatz to recur to means equal to the oc. cation—and each province of the Empire will, ac cording to its peculiar lituation, vary in the efforts it direa., to annoy the cominon enemy. Learn how to bind wiftlum with pattiorifm, and let every em u:at:der, and every that ia in obedience to him, pre ' font before the Sovereign and Citizens of the State, and before the eyes of all Europe, deeds worthy of 1 1 tha country to which they belong. When any op portunity is afforded of deflroying the foe, wait not for orders from a ditlant ofhcer of government, let net delay diminith the impralions of nafcent valour, and let not the natural c auage of man be frittered away in the collition of idle formalities. " - Contemplate con•raband commerce as the high ell clime—it is conducive oly to fatisfy the avarice rf ore enemies—the manorakflures they offer you, arc prepared by the reeking hands of th3fe who are ba thed in the blond of your faters, and your brethren. Imprell all arcund yo•r wi it a fettle of horror, at the praElice of this nefarious inte?courfe, and when it is univerfilly felt, A.hen nut a Spaniard will difgrace himfclf by this pernicious conneetion, when Europe 111311 underhand her g,:nuine interefts, and every port f the Continent (hall be doled upon there intruders, then will our veng-ance be complete—the infupport able arrogance of the Iflanders will be humbled; they will be loft amid the chaos of their own ruins, and they will be recognifed only as the violators of public tight, and as the tyrants of the Ocean. " May the fpirit here applauded be that of the whole nation—may we all of us readily facrifice our private indulgence to the general caufe ; and if there Ihould be an infulated charader among us not ani mated by this noble difpotition. may he catch the flame of patriutifm from his affociates, and not dif grace the Spanifh rime by frigidity and indifference. The age and infirmities of Come will not permit them to take a perfonal part in this glorious enter prize, but they may by their opulence, or by their counfel conduce to Cite general defign ; and this his Majelly expeets, and I implore of them—and thus, by availing ourfelves of every refource with which GOD and Nature have furnilhcd us, the effects of our indignation will be terrible to our anemies. In fine, if any particular Member of the State fhould with eaclu five to undertake fome fcherne which he thinks likely to annoy the Englilh, and for which he fhall.require the atliflance of the Governm-nt ; let him communi cate his projeds to me, and I will provide him with the necetfary means, if his purpofe fhould be fo well formed as to conduce to the injury of Britain, and the glory of Spain. (Signed) "Madrid, Dee. to, 1804." PRINCE OF PEACE." CADIZ,, Dec. 28.—" The dreadful malady which has fo long ravaged this unhappy city is completely at en end. The port is thrown cpzii, and our com munication with the interir.r is renewed. As we had not the misfortune to be afiliaed by this conta gion fo early in the fcafen as it visited Malaga and other places, it was by no means fo deftruaive. Ac cording to the molt authentic accounts, we have loft about five tboafand petruns, who,were, for the moll part foreigners. Indeed foreigners teem to have been principally fufceptible of the difeafe. I had a moll fevere attack; filch was the violence of my head ach and vomiting, that I had little hope of recovery. However, nn the (id) day a: . zer the commencement of my illnefs, I was declared out of danger." SAME DATE. - 16 The violence of the weather, from the 24th intl. having driven your blockading fqua dron from their Ration, fax very valuable 'hips have entaed this port from Vera Cruz and Lima.

CHARLESTON, DEc. 4.—On the t3th ult. the Bri - tifh frigate MERMAID, Captain HOLLIES, arrived at Havannah from Jamaica, with difpatchcs to the Governor, relative to the conduft of French priva teers towards Britifh veffe'ls taken into tl.e ports of Cuba. Two days after a Britifh Government brig arrived at Havannah in eight days from Kingflon. Site had arrived at Kingilon in 32 days from Eng land. This veffel was rent from Kingflon, imme diately on her arrival, with dilpatches from the Ad miral to the Commander of the MERMAID, the con tents of which were kept fecret. Invitations had been given to all the principal Officers at the Havan nah, to attend a ball which was to have been given on board the MERMAID on the evening of the Isth ult. but the arrival of this brig frultated the whole. The•Commandcr of the frigate, on receiving there dlpatches, weighed anchor, and Rood out to lea, where he continued lying off and on, till the whole of the Winch merchant (hips in the harbour (one only excepted, which had not balla(t on board) joined him ; fore of there vale's were partly loaded , others had purchafed cargoes, but had not taken them on board ; fuch, however, was the import of there dif. patches, that they immediately left the port, and failed under convoy of the ftisatc.

ROMAN CATHOLICS. The Earl of SUFFOLK called 7 .0 their Lortlfhips' recollection the notice he had giver. 'aft Seflions of an intended motion on his part, rally in the prefcnt relative to the fubjelt of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. His fentiments on this laver:ant fobjea remained the fame: but their Lordthips well knew, that in the interval, a change of circumftances had taken place, which naturally (hould have force in fluence on his mind, as to the ccurfe of pruceediog he fhould take. He alluded otincipally to the aced . - fion to power of a tlit:Hier, who, ro a c-rtain de gree, flood pledged with refp.e6t to the Iri(h Catho lics. This change, with reftlence to the tin:afore alluded to, would, he hoped, operate favourably f.:r this country, for Europe, and motr efrcially for Ireland. As the thing flood at prel . ent, he whited, as far as was practicable, to afeertaia the intentions of Government on that important point, before he (hould proceed farther, or to fee what flops the Exe cutive Government fhould taLc in the Winch.— Another conlideration with him would he the :atilt of the deliberations on the rot of the RolOari Ca tholics in Ireland, and. (hould there be no petition from that llt,dy, it was his intention to bi in;.; forward a motion on the fobjeEt. His Lor,:fhip main ad verted to what he feemed to confider as the pledge given by his Ma;efly's prefot raft Miti:tter, to the Roman Catholics, and Wittr.ut \Wel!, he t.'aftrved, perliap), that Minifter's layout ite of an union could not be effectuated. • MILITARY LFTIF.I The Earl of DARNLEY fiat;:i his intention to move for an Account of the NomOcr of Ken railed 'under the provifions of the Al of 1.01 Setlion, called the Additional Force Ad. He deemed it important that Inch information fhould hr given, and requelted to learn from the Noble Secretary, whether be had any objedion to the production of fuch an Account, as fuch anfwer would determine him as to the time he fhould bring forward hi, motion. Lord HAWKESBURY replied, that as he had no objedion to the production of the account re quired, it muff be a matter of indifference to him when the motion was made. The Noble Earl could draw it up and prop* it immediately, if he thought proper. MR. JUSTICE FOX. The Marquis of ABERCORN formally prefented a tranfcript of the Petition pi efe:sted laa Sefilia from Mr. Hart, of the County of Londond.trry, in Ire land, complaining of certain pats vi the judicial conduit of Mr. Justice Fox. Alio a PetiLion from certain jurors and others of the county Qf Fermanagh, in IreFr.d. And a Petition from the then 1 - lif.ll Kerif: of the county of Fermanagh—theie was iu I:Cu:lance timi lar to thofe prefented by his Lyrdihip hit Scilien, and were ordered to lie on the tal,ie. The Noble Marquis then prefented his Articles of Charge againit Mr. Juftice Fox, founded principally on the allegations of the Petitions hef are ;heir Lord flips. Refpating there, his Loran)) mficly uhferv. ed. that the Third Article of the chargz contained matter in addition to that comprifed :ti the articles of complaint which he prefented lalt SAinn. The mat. ter contained therein was adverted to by him in his fpcech at the time, though he had not then !I'M ciently methodifed it for regular introdution, and two of the Articles in the former caitibition were not included in this, for reafons afligncd. His Lordfhip concluded by moving that the Houfe do refolve itfelf into a Committee on Thurfday nest, to confider of the propel mode of proceeding with reined to the Petitions and Papers now prefehtek.:. After putting the queftion, The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the wool fack, and obferved; that 4/11 fuch an occafion as the prefent it was important their Lordthips fbould know what it was they fhould have to take into con federation on Thurfday next ; it was merely, as ex preffed by the Noble Marquis's motion, to confider of the belt mode of proceeding v;:th refped to the petitions and papers jult laid upon the table, in re ference to part of the condo& of nue of his Majelty's Judges in Ireland. The cafe, fortunately for the countries. was a novel one ; hence the Ad took place, the provifions of which they were to keep in contem. plation, while confidering the very important fubjal before them. He alluded to the at fur fecuring the independence of the Judges, and which authorifed the removal of any of them, in confetiuen.e of an Addrefs from Parliament. He was glad that the Noble Marquis had changed the title of Cle articles exhibited by him againft the learned Judge in . qucf tion. Lift Sellion they were ltyle.d " Articles of Complaint." As it was queftionable with him, whe. titer fuch, proffered by an individual Peer, was fuffr• cient ground for that Houfc's proceeding in the way adverted to on former. occalions ; as the cafe now flood, their Lordfhips would have to confider whe ther any further proceedings °mold be adopted in confequenee of what appeared before them ; and if fo, what line of proceeding Inch Ihnuld be? The Ar ticles, as the cafe then preciiCly flood, were, he thought, to be regarded as certain averments in the Speeches of the Noble Marquis, embodied and thrown into form. At prefent, the confideration of the cafe was not at all entered into : whether that notice thould be tranfmitted to the party 4ccufed, or, with reference to the final refult of dial part of their Lord fhips' proceedings, the concurrence in an addrefs to the Throne upon the fubjed, he hed it proper, that their Lordfhips fhoUld be fully aware of the nature of the ftep then taken, and what properly fhould be the fubjed of their deliberations in the Committee on Thurfday next.

INDiA. Mr. FRANCIS.—The motion which I mean to fubmit to the Houfe . wiil not make it neceffary for me to trouble you with many reafons in fupport of it, or for more than a few minutes ; and, indeed, it appeared to me In much a matter of courfe, that I fhould not have thought it required a previous no . tice, bat fur a fuggcftion, which I am always ous to comply with. In tile c, - ,arle of die :Al Seffion, • the Houfe thought tit to order a great variety of pa• pens to be laid before them, to explain the eaufcs of the war which began in 1803, agairill two of the principal Mahratta Scindia and Boolla. By the rapers before the Houfe it appears, that thole Chiefs were fubdued and reduced to itibmillion, and that treaties of peace had been tign-o with them about the clofe of the fame year ; and it was natural to conelnie that there was rut end of the war in In dia.—Nothing could be mete improbah!e than that any of the remaining Mahratta powers fhould take tip the contell, where the others had left it ; and ef peciaily againft an enemy flufhed with fuccefs, and which the greaten powers of the Mahratta Empire had not been able to refill. Neverthei-fs it known that another war with another Chief, tailed Ho!car, immediately, or loon after, lucceeded to the pacifi cation with Scindia and Boet?a. I co: - .tider it as the final ad of the fame tratica&i,:n, and that the taut mation before the Houle would nut be completti without the papers relative to thefe !aft hoflihties,' which I propofe to move for. I ito:d it to be of im-, portance to the good government and fatety of our poll - dhotis in India, that a regoLr coinnidnicatian of all material tranfadions lhould, at „3:-:7,:r inter vals, be made to Parliament, and that the record of them Ihould be preferved in this Houle. I have no doubt that Hofear has been fubdued--bis forces, com pared with ours, arc fo inconhderable, that or,e can only wonder at his venturing, at fuch a time efpe cially, to provoke a quarrel with a power fo much ftyerior to him. Neverthelefs he has certainly been able to make forte refinance, and we know that many lives have been loft already in the courfe of this petty war. In one of the provinces ceded to us, called Bundelcund, a party of his cavalry furround ed a detachment of ours, confining of two complete companies of fepoys, fome cannon, and fifty Euro pean artillery, every man of whom were cut to pieces. The lots of the fepoys is to be lamented— that cf the artillerymen is invaluable. The maia body, from which this little force was detached, immedt• ately retired, and the officer who commanded it was put tinder arrell. I need not fay more to prove that thefe t:anladions deferve the attention of the Houfe. 1 am not aware of any reafonable ohjedion to the Motion, but if any flueuld be male, I hcpe the Houfc will permit me to reply to it. I move you, Sir, That there be laid before this Hoof,: Copies or Extradts of all Letters, or Correfpundence received from India, tei . urc or fmce the cicfc of the Lilt Scif.,m of Parliament, rdnicc to ;nal litiL s bc mum the Britifb Government and the Mahratta Chief, 1:,.:1•a$ Jetlmam 11,.ta0 Hotzar, as farad may be ceniiitent with the pt.!4,.; service, and with the good faith due to from whom facet intelligence nuy have been recci,,,J. Before I tit dcwn, I will: :linen:ion a (*.Nee: con nedlcd with the Mahratta war, on which the Houle has received no information. I expected to find it exp Lined in the printed papers, but in them there is no mention of ir. In the country of Guzzerat, to :he north welt of Bombay, there is a prince called the Gwicoware : a part of his rerri:ory has been ceded to the Company, partly to make good the pay of our fubfidiary force Rationed at Poona, and for other ob jeCt:, of indemnification. Oat of that fund we ought to have received a confiderable r evenue; but to that Prince the Government of Bombay have lent a fum not rnLeh lefs than 36..),03c1. The documents re-* lative to this extraordinary tranfaaion, I think, ought to ha - le been laid before the Houfe under the order:. already given, which would rave time and trouble.... duet, it mutt be the fubj t ft ofz particular =dor:,
