(aigned) SIMARD PILLILW. St Majesty's ship Balichante, befere Baguet, Az 21. Stn—My letter of the 9th instant will have at• painted you of the capture-of Cattaro, and of my intention to attack this place as soon as the artillery anal stores necessary for the siege were embarked from that fortress; on my arrival here on the 19th, I found the place invested by the Austrian General Milutino vritch, with two Croat battalions, but not a single /Ate of artillery had arrived. Four mortars and two ginut were immediately landed from the Bacchante and opened on the works of the town and Fort Lo renzo the morning of the 22d i the enemy returned a lteayy fire from all his batteries. The approach s it uate is extremely difficult, by of Fort Imperial and the . . . -, the commanding island of Croma ; and it became an object of impo. since to secure this latter port before we could advance our batteries; two eighteen-pounders were therefore landed, and by the great exertions of the officers and seamen under Lieutenant Milbourne, third cf this drip, one gun was brought round the mountains at the hick of Ragusa, a distance full six miles, and placed immediately opposite the island, which it corn iletely commanded. The French General, however, on the morning of 27th, sent out a truce to request our batteries would cease, and a capitulation was commenced and signed on the 213th f..r the surrender of the town and its dependencies. The British and Austrian troops took pbssession the same day ; 120 pieces of cannon 'Jere mounted on the works of the town and Fort Lo renzo; 21 in Fort Imperial, and 11 in the island of Crorna, with a garrison of 500 men, and nearly six weeks provisions. The garrison are prisoners of war, not to serve against England or her Allies till regularly exchanged. His Majesty's ship Elizabeth arrived here on the evening of the 27th, but Captain Gower very hand lamely declined interfering in the negotiation. lam happy ..to say the best un d xrs t a nding has prevailed between the allied troops, and General Milutinovitch is expressed himself in tke handsomest terms for the assistance he has received. The object for which you aentme here, Sir, is now,' believe, obtained, by the . expulsion of the French' ere s from the provinces of Cattaro and Ragusa, and it olly remains for me to mention the meritorious conduct of kt!l the officers and men who have shared the fatigues and privations attending it. I beg leave alai to mention the great assistance I save received from Captain Angelis, of Lieutenant- General Campbell's staff, who accompanied me from Cattaro, both there and at this place. His ready and active services have considerably diminished the diffi culties we have met with. The limits of a dispatch will not allow me to enter further into detail, but 1 can assure you, Sir, that every officer and man under ray command, has strictly performed his duty. The loss of the British during the siege has been one sea man billed, and ten severely wounded. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) W. Haar., Captain. &c., fretzbt. PROCLAMATION TO THE SOLDIERS. 66 The Norwegian nation places its hopes on you, brave warriors, for a happy conclusion to the conflict in which we willingly engage for the country. The first condition of the surrender of Norway, was the delivery of all the fortresses and warlike stores to the Swedes. Then you would have been required to lay down your arms. But this shall not be:—Norway exists by your valour. The aged women and chil dren live secure among the Norwegian mountain., defended by Norway's brave sons, led by your Re gent 'and revered commander. Victory and liberty, or death, be our motto. My lot is inseparable from yours—my confidence is your tmanimity—my hope, GOD-my reward, your love." CADIZ, 111)R11. 5. A letter from MAdrid says, that his Majesty, King Ferdinand VI/. has written to the illustrious Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, a most animated letter, in which, after thanking him for his services to the common c qse, he expresses his .regret at not being able to sa int:, him on his entrance into Spain, but flatters him self that he shall have that satisfaction as soon as cir cum •Itnccs will permit. It is added, that the Am bassaLi c)r of his Britannic Majesty has offered to sup ply the fends necessary for his Majesty's journey to Court. MEXICO, lAN. 3. This afternoon his Excellency 0 , , - 2 Viceroy received dispatches from Don ciriaco de Llano, commanding the northern army, dated 2Stlf December, at night, bringing the happy intelligence of the entire defeat of the rebel, Morel( s, in three different actions, in which he lost 1300 killed, above 200 prisoners, '3O cannon, all his baggage, ammunition, provisions, &c.

The Regency of Spain has named Don Joseph Pa lafox to be Captain General of the National Armies, and to be Lieuteuant Generals the Field Marshals D. Thomas Moreno and Don Joseph de Zayas, the latter was gone froM Madrid toattend his Majesty, who was expected at Gerona on the 22d. Extract of an account of the reception of the King on his entrance into Spain, published. by the General of the first army : The head-quarters *ere removed, on the 21st to Bascara. The King arrived on the 22d, at Figueras, where he was saluted by the cannon of the fortress. The river, being swelled his Majesty stopped at Figue ras till the 24th. At sun-rise on the 244 our troops were draWn up, and at ten the cannon of Figueras, announced the departure of his Majesty, who arrived, on the opposite bank, accompanieckhy some French tivalrY and the Staff of Marshal Sucher. General St.. Cyr Nugaes,"chief of the enemy's staff, crossed the, river to announce that his Majesty was going to pass, over, on which the General in Chief said ire,a load voice, let the King pass, which his Majesty immedi. ately did in his coach.

StiEECH OF MO. ltiSo, OF MASSACRUSETTS, iN COMBIVITRIL OW Tar *HOLZ Ok Till ARK? BILLS. 41 Mr. CIiAIRMANLIC is with great felUetAUCe that I rise in this debate ; nothing but an imperious sense . of duty could have compelled me, especially at this protiveted-pericrd - of It, - after those brttlhmt displays to genius, learning, and eloquence, eAtich, with plea-: . sure and instruction, we have witnessed from both sides of the Hill: in thin brilliant, contest they ap pear like brothers of thi same national family ; ane the same spark of divinity moves and animates theai . in debate. Such instances add celebrity to our ne. tionel character. In that every American has an ini serest ; and though they are above ethulation, still each individual may claim his proportion at thi honour. .1 have only to regret that those gentleami in the majority who have thus distinguished thenii selves, had not a better cause to advocate ; and that •. my filen& minority, who have at least equally distinguished themselves, could only deserve success:, ". Speaking, Sir, of national character, and of what tend,s to ascertain and extend it, should dd . injustice to unrivalled merit, and to my own feelings, did I not advert to our navy. is When, Sir, from these brilliant objects, I bring down my mind to your mouldering, dispirited, I might add, disgraced army; and to your contentious boasting Generals, I can scarcely persuade myself that they belong to the same nation, or form a part pf the same system. And when I extend my view further, and consider your sex-coast, from the Mis. Ipissippi to the St. Croix, invested by the hostile wpm larons ot your enemy ; and when lture my attention to your northern frontier, and behold it, for a long istance, wrapt in &Mei, and its distressed and de• fenceless irihabitants flying before an exasperated foe, end the sacred soil ot our country. In the possession 13f that foe, I could almost" wislrfor power to call *iwo the vengeance of Heaven upon those rash and guilty men, who have drawn oar ,country into this , "one; of misery and ruin. 4 G . , my soul; cense not lhou into their secret ; Unto their asseriably,litisse • •• honour he not thou unised.' . " And what, Mr. Chairman; Is the object of els:- • ivide waste and desolation 1 Sailors' rights are 4iew• • said to be the motive—the' conquest of - Canada this Object. Anddo you suppose that the bold and gene. rous sailors of America,. who Crave been untorris... - • (lately impressed into fortf'"service, would wish their rights to be asserted at'a.. elspense of bloodas* itreaeure At the expense of the lives of thwitandlesi and the happiness of millions? Believe foe, law would not. I know their nature well—their gents.' fOUS and humane feelings. With a man in distress. friend or foe, they would cheerfully share their last biscuit. [Asa practical illustration of the humanity of thy_ sailor. Mr. King here instanced the case of one on board of a public ship, who subscribed towards aisr relief of the sufferers by the late fire at Portsmouth ' more than was due him for wages, (starving, that. the balance might be stopped from his accruing wages]. • e But Canada, it seems, must be conquered.l— do we want of Canada I What is there fat. its to covet ? Is it to free the mongrel French frcret, English power—or to conquer that country for the tyrant ot France, as having formerly been a deism. dency of France. The Canadians ,will not thank you. They contribute little now towards the ex pences,of their government; but for the liberty yogi would give them, they must be severely taxed---at least if you place them upon an equality with Acne. rican citizens. • " Sir, this administration never intended' to Cods. quer Canada. Had they, they would havelautrehed their ships of the line, steered up the gulf and river of St. Lawrence, and thundered at the walls of Quebec. Then, Sir, we would have believed them in earnest. This would have been to enter boldly at titedoor of conquest. But now, like thieves and robbers, you have broken into the home by the win dows, and despoiled the defenceless inliabitaats.—lf I cherished the least enmity towards any individual l in this House, or in this nation, nay, in the world. (of which I am not sensible), I could wish him no worse fortime than to be obliged to go and take Canada. " Until this Administration shall have acconntedi with the American people, for the• numerous lives which they have sacrificed, and for the immense trea sures which they have squandered ills this hopeless. this disastrous war, every species of supply for its continuance should be withheld. It is then the sacred duty of the Representatives of the People, to refuse the aid requested by the bill now under consideration, and every other aid which may be requested for the same object. Here, Sir, I shall leave Canada, and the several topics drawn by gentlemen into this de bate. Abler bands have done ample justice to. the subject. To other subjects of importance connected with the war, permit me to ask your attention. " When, Sir, this administration declared their war against England, they proclaimed to the world, what they were pleased to consider its justifying causes. Those citizens, who were opposed to this administration, and to their war, published to the • wbat they deemed its causes. The yne relied upon Ahe illegal blockadee, impressment, and the Orders in Council of Great Britain. The other im uted it toil:e art, duplicity, and intrigue of the im perial despot of France. Perhaps a combinatiod of these causes led to the calamitous result.; ,thong} -without French intrigue it never would hartbeest produced. ° 44 But I have another view of this subject, twirl** I solicit the attention of this House, and of die Amite rican people. I consider this war as the necessary nd inevitable result of that policy and system of measures, so long purseed by the present and imme diately preceding administration, under Mr. Jetts . . son and Mr. Madison. Yes, Sir, I consider this war, connected as it is with your embargo and your inter• nal system'of taxation, which indeed grew out of it, as bringing to an important issue before the tribunal of the American people, the great question, for a long time depending between t h e rival parties in America, as to the correctness or incorrectness of their respective systems of measures. It is, indeed, a momentous, a &ileum question ; involving the ado ministration of our government, the existence of .'ur federal institutions, and the happiness or misery of the American people.
