r~ ~. ••• • • manner;am! 'mg frequently unalge tc - - cm . I nternee to what he wished to say. His (tht ;k il os) had not been called on to attend Mr. 11h14 m oious to the trial, nor had he seen him aloft. dia time, He had not seen Mr. Walsh since the tria l up Saturday last, when he attended him hi come. a we. of a letter which he had received. That /et tei% he believed, was still in his possession, and he had l lo objection to prodoce it, if it was the wish of s the gose.—The witness was here ordered to withdraw. bpi told not to leave the House. The SPEAKER had now to inform the House; t bst he bad received a farther letter from Mr.Walsh t fc which that Gemlentan, though he intimated Alla: bi should not attend in his place, expressed a wisl that the proceedings before the House, in his cas4 might not be del„yed on that account ; but at the same tinie stated it to be his hope that the evidence of hi s Medical Attendant would remove every objec tion to his former letters to him (the Speaker) being pad to the House. Mr. BANKES said, he Thlt himself placed in a ore of some embarrassment. It appeared, that till g l eaday Mr. Walsh had never thought of putting his' 'defence on the footing he now did; and from the ante just mentioned, he wished his other letters should reread. This he (Mr. Bankes) should object to-.- for he could not consent that a man who had acted 0 scandalous a part should have his letters made a record of that House. On the other hand, if it were l ik e l y t h a t he might, at some future time, not far s print, appear before the House, and personally stand hi s trial, he would be one of the last men who would desire to pres hard on an individual in his s it u atti on . • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that from what now appeared to the House, it was evident, whatever might previously bar: been the intent:on of Mr. Walsh, he was at present in that situation in which he could not appear. It is not therefore a question of mere farther indulgence, but tpparently a question of necessity. If he had per ' rated in chewing a disinclination to attend, the House would of course have pursued that path which seemed to them to be best su ted to the case. As circum stances were now before them, he apprehended the Noose ought to guard themselves and their posterity ;against the bare idea of requiring the presence of an individual, who is in such a state of health as to pre vent him from attending. He thought the House would therefore do well to postpone the question. BANKES intimated his consent ; and moved accordingly, that Mr. Walsh do attend in his place to4norrow fortnight, which w.ts ordered. LOCAL MILITIA BILL. • The House resolved int, a Committee to consider the Clauses of the Local Militia Lill which had been postponed. Several were read and agreed to; when, ou the reading of the clause which authorises those i alto have served their period of four years to re•eit ter for another term, Mr. BAKES rose to object to it, on the ground that such provision tended directly to subvert the great principle of the Bill, which was, by successive divisions, to have the whole youthful population of the country trained to the use of arms. Mr. RYDER obserwd, that the former Bill c,f his Noble Friend (Lord Castlereagh) had contained a tbuse of a precisely similar description. Mr. WHITBREAD objected to the clause on the same ground which had been assumed by Mr. Bankes. After a long conversation on the different clauses, some of which were amended, the report was receiv ed, and ordered to be taken into farther considerk: lion on Thursday next. The Bill, as amended, was Irdaed to be printed. IRISH MILITIA. Sir JOHN NEWPORT asked the Right Hon. Secretary of State. (Mr. Ryder) whether he had any objection to produce the correspondence between him •nd several Officers of the Irish Militia now in this •eonntry;respecting exemption from the income tax ? Mr. RYDER replied, that when the Irish Militia I.t arrived in this country, Government were not aware of the circumstance of this claim of exemption, het considering that they were exempt in their own totality, it was the intention of Government to allow the exemption. ' Afew words then took place between Mr. BASTARD tad the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, about the 'mode in which this allowance was to be granted. ROYAL MILLIA - RY cou.roe._ On the Motion of Mr. HOBHOUSE, the' House trent into a Committee of Supply ; to which were re ferred certain Estimates relative to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. Mr. 1- 10131 - 10 USE pointed out the'importance of this establishment as a national object, and observed, that the sums hitherto voted not being sufficient, it would be necessary to grant a farther sum for finish jog the buildings. They had been conducted on a Inger scale than was at first intended ! though with oat any thing like splendour or unnecessary magnifi cence. It had been thought adviseable to eriarge tie establi s h ment , an d o f course a greater extent- of i buildings Was required. He moved,. that “ farther 1 stra of £125,000 be granted for defraying the el o pe* of finishing the buildings. Ur: Bz I NK E S complained, that it was too much the practice to brill,' estimates at first into Parliament touch short of the sums afterwards wanted, and thus apply year after year to Pailiarnent for finishing what hial been at first improperly begun. Parliament was thowinisled, and involved in an expense, which, at' Ent they would not have acceded to. He would not 1 Lcrw oppose this vote, but had it come before him as a res integra, and could he have foreseen that it would have required 8300,000, he should certainly have d it. In most of the institir'ons of this nature, re • a 'w d a u s e a r n e g u a n r n d e c t o e s e s c a o r n y o na m i y g . n i lic e At n fi c r e s , t i i inconsistent 'fisted only at aeki6,ooo. 'rhe same objection fit be made to the New Mint, which was too • id for the purpose it was designed. With re- Ct to the College at Sandhurst, he saw no °cu.. aka for having so expensive an entrance, that having it appeared, £3,000. The private gardens had wen also attended with too much expense. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE expressed himself to the ante elrect. It was necessary, in the first instance, to hot" the whole extent of the expenses. With respect __to the orn amental part, however, he thought the se •ve_ a.al acres that h a d b een p l ante d w i t h fi rs were not Lill ornamental, but would be cf great public ad -7_ c age. He thou g h t t h e p l ace i nconv enient, being 0 far from any town, and that too much had been • ex Peoded on•the farm. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER : - observed, that nothing had been laid out on firming for the original purchase. it had been - , excex . once thought that the place was not so convenient as might be desired, and another situation had been looked for. There had been consequently a number of orders, but not one so eligible as this, which was at last found to be, of all oth ers , t h e most convenient, being situated so near open grounds, suitable for the various exer cises of the young men. General HOPE said, be had come lately only to the Governorship of this College ; but its public utility would be generally admitted. The Officers and Pro fessors employed in the Establishment, who devoted their whole minds to the education of the young men, ought to be made as comfortable as possible, and he saw nothing more than was really necessary for that accommodation. At present there were 230 students, and it was proposed to increase the establishment to 412. He mentioned sevaal very distinguished and meritorous (Ace! s who had here received their edu cation, and no less than eighty.six went to join the army last year. ' After some further conversation betweenlkfr.WllAß- FtirON, Mr. BANKES, and Mr. SHAW LEFEVH4 the Re solution was adopted, and ordered to be reported to morrow.—rAdjoucaed. THE t: ‘: EN INU STAR.

The advices from the North of Europe by the Anholt Mails of yesterday were to the 22cl ultimo. In addition to the particulars that we communicated yes terday, we learn that in Russia the prepatutionN of the defence against Itinch invasion have been continued, but at St. Peter burgh a war is not expected. A Mini ster from Stockholm was on his way to that Court in the chanctcr of a negotiator, and it was presumed, that should hostilities take place, Russia and Sweden would be in alliance. Letters both from Stockholm and Gottenburg men tion, that a large body of French troops had violated the Prussian boundary, and taken possession of a con siderable portion of that kingdom. It is also added, that Fanocluck; WILLI/of, who was at Berlin, had with great difficulty effected his escape toward the Russian frontiers. These accounts were received .at Gottenburg by the way of Carlshams, and are given, not in confident terms, but as reports requiring confirmation. The particulars from Sweden, as far as they are connected with the relations between her and Great Britain, are extremely favourable; and it is announced in the Public Offices of this Government, that the dis patches obtained from thence by the packets now arrived, are of the same character. We are also told in a letter from a most respectable quarter, that the Chevalier BRICIIMANN, who was before in London in 'the situation of-Minister from the Court of Stockholm, is now on his road to resume in this city the like official duties. One communication from Sweden observes, that all restrictions proiisionally imposed at the in stance of the French Government, will be immediat4 withdrawn ; and another positively states, that they are no longer in existence. The Exchange at Petersburgh had fallen about 7; per cent. in a week. The commercial distresses in Sweden were great, and two of the most eminent mer cantile houses at Stockholm had failed.

Dr. Goon' was a prisoner at the depot at Sarrelibre when he obtained release. Sr. DAyts's Day.—The annual procession of the Charity Children took place yesterday, and, as usual, presented an interesting spectacle. After hearing divine service at St. George's Cht:rch, they proceeded to Free►nason's Tavern, by the circuitous route of St. James's-square and Pall-mall, in order to pay their respects to Sir W. W. WYNNE in the former, and the PRINCE REGENT in the latter. In the pro cession thither we noticed the Earl of OXFORD, Sir W. W. WYNNE, Sir Co MORGAN, &Co The following is the postscript to a letter, &tied Gottenburgh, Feb. 21 :—" Since Tuesday last, all bill brokers here have received an order from Stock ' holm not to sell cr buy for any body bills on Ham. burgh ; so it seems ti.ar against Francd in not far off."

The Pier tarts quite a scene of gaiety yesterdiy: viskors from Margate, llroadstairs, and the adjoining villages, were very nu merous, attracted, no doubt, by the novelty of hearing that a captured French frigate (la Manche, 44 guns) was in the harbour, as well as to witness the sailing of the Stet, so long detained in the harbour by contrary winds, amounting to uearly 200 sail. The wind came fair on Saturday night, and on the in Tains fol• lowing every preparation wasznade to take advantage of the Bow. big of the tide; by eleven the ships began to leave the harbour, and continued t it near five In the afternoon, by which time ti e whole It4d nearly got sot without any very material damage, and were proceeding through the Downs with their conv o y, w i t h a fine breeze, at aout S.

" for having declined power and•emolu. mcnt for the Catholic cause ;" another incited every parish in Ireland to petition Parliament, and to ad. dress the Regent according to the advice of a Meas. bee of the House of Commons, who desired than to block up Carlton House with delegates, and to load the table of the House of Commons with petitions, until their claims were satisfied."—The speakers were Lord FINGAL, Mr. Frazucu, Mr. SCOTT.

A Meeting of the Protestant Noblemen and Gen. tlemcn possessing property in Ireland, was yesterday held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's. street, Earl IrtrzwiLLlAM in the Chair, for the purpose of signing a Petition to Parliament, in favour lithe Catholic claims.

S►rt—ln the debate on the Navy a few days ago, you advised the Admiral:y to reduce the number of our ships, because the enemy's fleets were annihilated. Mr. YORK E answered you very pertinently : he in st :need only cry! station of the ships hostile to us. I will take the liberty, through the medium of the STAY:, to lay before you, and before the public, a list of the French ships alone, without taking into the account those of Holland, of Italy, and thoseof other Naval Powers, which may shortly be under the subjection of France. Should you reply that those ships cannot be twinned, I will refer you to arguments and facts, viich may convince you, and those who love to shut their eyes to the public clan tzer, that our Continental foe does not want the means of producing a sufficient number of sailors to man 'it)o ships of the line. In tl:e following list, A, expresses the ships at Antwerp ; B, at Brest ; C, at Cadiz, which we may hope will not soon be in the power of their original masters ; G, at Genoa; 0, at Orient ; R, tit Roche fort ; and T, at Toulon. It is possible that some inaccuracies may be found in the names and in the station- of the ships of the line ; but the naval readers of the STAR will ptoba- lily have the goodness to point them out to the Edi tor, who will, no doubt, admit every observation on that interesting subject.—l am, Sir, &c.
