Th e Proceedings of the last Court having . been , and the resolution agreed to respecting his Ma jesty's Answer to their Address, Mr. S. DmoN observed, that in the history of eve ry war of this country miscarriages were not un usual If any man who heard him could contrive e mode to prevent them, he would deserve well of his country. It was very well understood that his Majesty had the advice of his Cabinet and Privy Council upcm everybelligerent subject.--There were, n evertheless, men out of doors who thought they could conduct public affairs better than the Govern ment. For the present be should say no more than give notice of a motion for a future day, " That henceforward no public Minister, nor Commander of any Army, should be appointed by his Majesty, with . out the previous consultation of this Assembly." ' Mr. Qum said, that when this mution should be proposed he should follow it with another, for an Ad dress to his Majesty, that he would be pleased, to ap. point Mr. Samuel Dixon First Lord of the Treasury. Alderman Comae said, it etas impossible that such a mdion as the first could be gravely ehtertained or placed on the books of the assembly. Mr. WALT: MAY with warmth observed, that from the fispeand insults given to that Assembly by Mr. D. be had-only to lament he had no power to vote bis expulsion, for if he had, an immediate motion should not be wanting for the purpose. He had affected pleasantry uuder the shape of sarcasm, but though he might get marre r io laugh at him,. none but hiniself could laugh at his jokes. The conversation ended, and the assembly pro treded to vote, on the motion of Alderman Combe, :.- Aftersorne debate, a grant of 6001. towards the esta %lament of a Diocesan School in the Protestant Co lony of Londonderry, in Ireland. ABUSES• IN CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Mr. litrairnstate rose to bring forward his promised *ion, respecting certain abuses which had occurred p 1 'presentations to Christ's Hospital. His Notice Indoor been-nearly twelve months upon the books, ad be had only been prevented from bringing it sooner through the want of opportunity.— ~. "eke historic view of the origin of the higher ro f Chartered Schools in the Metropolis, so far •• leek as tale reigns of -Henry VIII. and Edward VI. it which the chief government of those Schools was evened in the Ca' srpnration of London whose privilege • :duet to eh:et Governors annually, and to superintend the Management, and paitieularly• Christ's Hospital. • It hetilappeaed, that the exercise of their privilege, is this respect, had fallen - into disuse. Persons were IPPOililideClVlernOrs with a view to advance the Chnitritreetnequence,of donations which they had contributed. , Disputo had arose, to remedy which • an Act of rarliament *as .passed, which recognized the "neat difie . Corporation to certain privileges of Prrseutaiiun, and . requiring that two out of AillPl, of the , Children Presented should be the sans '4o 4 toor Freemen, and prohibiting the Presentation of any child but ,an orphan, or !* son 13:166r pa. rents, unable to pa y far its maintenance and education, and to the strict performance of this principle the - Governors were solemnly hound. But a gross abuse' had occurred, above a year since, by Mr.Mellish, in the presentation of the son of the Rev. Mr. Warner, Vicar of Edmonton, who is possessed of a living worth from 12 to £l4OO a year, founded upon a certificate,: signed by the Reverend Vica r himself and his two, Churchwarde ns , and averring the boy to be the son . of poor parents, unable to maintain or educate him. ' Against this gross and flagitious falsehood Mr.Waith: man inveighed in the strongest terms of reprobation,. as a public abuse to the charity itself, and a direct contravention to the principle of its institution. He. declared enquiry on the present occasion to be his sole. s object, and he moved a Resolution, in - substance : °That statements in the public prints, hitherto tine, • eontroverted, had alledged the occurrence of this gross abuse; that for the honour ofihe Corporatiosi l and the other Governors, and for the future goal government of the charity itself, inquiry into ' till/ - circumstance was necessary ; and requesting that the • ?resident :Agin be solicited to summons a meeting of all the Governors, for the purpose of such inquiry, and to adopt measures for the prevention of such abuses in futu-e." . This motion being seconded, produced a desultory .debate. It was opposed by Mr. S. Dixon, w hothought anonymous statements in Newspapers incompetent grounds of inquiry. It was also opposed by Aldermen Atkins and Birch, and Mr. Jacks and Mr. Thorpe s and it L iras supported by Mr.- Quin, who moved an ... amendment to substitute 4 , a member in his place" instead of the word "Newspapers." Also, by Mr. '.- Griffith) Mr. Goodbeliere, and some other Members; andlt was finally carried without a jingle negative, /11 r3 the Court adjodrued. p,. N . : ag, • • • Tester&Wl -paritinnt to a public the High Sheriff, G. H. MITCI4IILL, Esq. convened Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry; Freeholders, and Inhabitants of the County off' SoUthamiiton, at the Castle of Winchester, to take into their consideration the propriety of addressing his Majesty on the COn vention of Cintra. The Meeting was both numerous and highly respectable. The High Sheriff having t ak en t h e Ch a i r , Lord NORTHESiE presented himself to the attention of the Meeting, for the purpose of proposing a Reso lution. He felt that on a subject involving both the character and interests of the country, it would not be deemed a presumption in him to offer to their consideration a motion, expressive of the wishes of the County of Hants, to request a full Enquiry into the causes which led to that disgraceful event, the Con vention of Cidtra. After these prefatory remarks, his Lordship proposed the following Resolution Resolved—That an humble and dutiful Address and Petition be presented to his Majesty, expressing our grief and regret at the Convention lately entered into by the Coinmanders of his Majesty's forces in Portugal, and the Commander of the French army In Lisbon ; praying his Majesty to institute such full, pub lic., and effectual incydry into this transaction, as will lead to the discovery of all those causes Which produced an event so injurious to the honour of this country, and the interest of its Allies. Mr. Coast:rr then addressed the Meeting, by re capitulating a number of topics relative to the Con vention, and the Officers employed in it. He main tained that Petitions for investigation were not at all rendered unnecessary on account of the answer given by his Majesty to the Address of the Citizens of Lon- - don, inasmuch as that Answer Was addressed to the Court of Common Council alone, and not to the in habitants of Hampshire. He then dwelt upon the various appointments held by Sir Arthur Wellesley previous to his going to India, as well as those he re ceived since his return, and said, that out of 291 Staff Officers, it was a shame that Ministers did not select one of them to command the expedition to Portugal, without calling upon the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. But Ministers, he said, would attempt to screen Sir Arthur Wellesley, because he was allied to a powerful family, who had raised themselves not by,such talents as were shining or laudable, but by beating the poor Indians as a dog would a flock of sheep. The family, he said, possessed 12 votes in the House ofCommons, and it was not won derful that Ministers should enaeavour to screen SirAi thur. Hear! Hear! That single fathilyche said, received no less than 23,7661. annually from the Country, a sum which exceeded the poor rates of sixty parishes, on an average of the parishes in England and Wales. In the progress of his speech, Mr. Cobbett said, ht could read a list of individuals who benefited by the war, and which would occupy two hours. He men tioned Mr. Garniere, of Wycombe, who, as Apothe cary General to the Army, received an annual income of 12,309 L 10s. sd. (A great uproar and confusion here took place ; some of the meeting crying, Stolz! St* t others, Go on! Go on IJ The SHERIFF observed, that thing irrelevant to the question should be omitted upon this occasion, and if there were any difference of opinion upon the subject, he must take the sense of the Meeting upon it. 'Mr.CaBBET.--.." I have, Gentlemen, to apologise to you for having already detained you so long by enter ing into what I conceive to be perfectly regular and relevant to the question at issue, but if you wish it, I shall cease immediately."---(As almost universal ere of No ! No ! Go on ! Go on ! ensued.) Sir FRANCIS BARING rose to speak to order. The Meeting, he said, was called for a special purpose ; that purpose was a public, not a private purpose, and therefore it was, in his opinion, totally irregular to in troduce the name of an individual whe had nothing to do with the Convention. The. Hon. Gentleman appeared net only to be making an attack upon Mr. Garniere, also directly attacking the Government . .of the Country I he therefyie hoped, that, taking it upon the principles of perfect justice, the Meetmg would strictly adhere to the avowed purpose for which they had assembled., Mr. ConarrT then resumed. He said Minister had motives for not tufting certain Military Officers to trial; and that cite of those motives was, the in terest certain inaßviditals had in perpetuating the war. He then mentiotieirtte failure of the Expedi tion tb the Helder, which bad never been investigated, and was emtmerating!thedifferent appointments held •by the Duke of York (but a great confusion arose, some wishing him to proceed, and otbt.rs to desist), i when • The'Rev. Mr. POl•cr ER, amidst the hisses and hoot. ings of some of the Assembly, rose to .speak to order. " I commend tl,e teal of those Gentlemen (said he) who hiss before they hear what I am going to say— I, or any mau in this Meeting, have surely a right to speak:to order. I did not rise sooner, on account of the fanner person spoken of being a near and dear re lation to myself; but I beg to submit to you, Mr. Sheriff, as Chairni an; whether this last subject be to order, or not ?" Mr. COBRKTI then rose again and continued. He conceived that he was not out of order ; and; hay. ing insisted on the right of the subject to address the Sovereign, lie submitted the following Address:- TO THE KING's MOST kXCE.LLENT MAJESTY. The humble Address and Petition of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and Inhabitants of the County of South ampton. We, your Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and Inhabitants of the County of Southamp ton, bombly approach your Majesty with an expression of our deep regret at the Convention lately entered into by the Comman s of your Majeify's forces and the Commander of the French forces in Portugal; a Convention which we deem disgraceful to your. Majesty's arms greatly injurious to the interests of this nation, and still more injurious to the Interests and the glorious cause of your Majesty's faithful Allies, now engaged in the peri -1 loos conflict for the recovery and preservation of their rights and • - liberties. Mindful that at the happy period when those laws were made, by which your Majesty's family was placed upon the Throne of this Kingdom, it was claimed, demanded, and insisted upon, so lemnly assented to, and legally enacted, that it was the riglit of the subject to petition the King; and fully convinced that fis of the alx. - .ost importance to the preservation of our liberties, that this right should at all times be freely exercised in all matters of pub lic grievance without obstruction or reproof, we humbly pray Alia:. your Majesty will be graciously pleased to Institute such an intluiry relative to the said Convention ' as wiii secure a full and awn developemenkof the real causes of a transaction which has brotlght so foul a stain upon the honour of our country, and has rendtred unavailing the valour of your Ma's troops, and the vast pecuniary sacrifices of your faithful ,, ly-burtheciecl, and Ste 'patient Reople. And this application to and paternal care of tour Majesty we deem the more at . this time, betl s tir oluting the eventful period of the lait years nations i .. enterprises sod opedienti blivi h enetertakee; In which the character of the country,. ind t *poor of tOttrhifajasty'l. arms were concenled which bite ge terktd, y failed and disap DOVER, NOVEMBER 3. the hopes and repettadoni of the tuition, and Into which ' L U X glib". bas natbeeit made.... . . .: I Another flag of truce tame over this afternoon The Rev.

He therefore felt it his duty to propose, as an A flag of truce went past here this afternoon from amendment to the resolution of the Noble Lord:— • ' , I That, notwithstanding the disappointment ezpeil.: , t he 1 Boulogne for the Downs.— S ailed the brig Hope, enced throughout the country in consequence of Captain MAY, with porter, potatoes, and grocery, for late Convention, yet, upon the ground of his Majesty . Lisbon. ' having already pledged himself to institute inquiry,: and in conformity with the principles of justice, we forbear interferenCei until acquainted with the reset of that investigation:" The Rev. Mr. BAKER seconded this amendment, by saying, that he would not do it if he did not cOn caive that every honest Englishman shottld heartily concur in it. XAa"PICAL INTELLIGENCE. DEAL. NOVEMBEII s.. iiettain it the Downs his Majesty's ships, &c. as per latt.—S P. M. a Flag bf Truce has just arrived in the Downs, suppoied to be Mr. SuAw r'turned from Paris; cannot leatn particulars: a boat has just gone OE to her.—Mind N.E. blows hard. Mr. PORTALL differed from the last speaker; and supported the original motion. After detailing the operations of the British army in Portugal, he con tended, that no other terms ought to be granted to the French than those of an unconditional surrender. By supporting the motion, he conceived that he deavoured to rescue the country in the opinion of the world from any participation iri the foul transaction. The amendment, as proposed by the Rev. Mr. Poulter, was then read, amidst strong murmurs of disapproval, and was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Gar nett. He considered the country bound, by every tie of gratitude to an aged and venerable Monarch, to await the fulfilment of his gracious promise for in vestigation. .The HIGH SHERIFF then put the question on the amendment, as proposed by the Rev. Mr. Poulter, which was negatived unanimously, with the excep tion of 4 ten persons, in that crowded assembly. l'he resolution of Lorth Northesk was then unani mously carried. ' Mr. CoszErT— ,, In pursuance of the resolution no* carried, I move that the Address and Petition read by me, and now in the hands of the Deputy- Sheriff, be the Address and Petition of this Meeting." -A desultory conversation then took place, in which it was considered a piece of etiquette to receive the Address from the proposer of the Resolution. Mr. Coszotn— ,, I stand hcre in the exercise of a right, and cannot waive it upon a point of courtesy... I come here with my neighbours,' the slaves of no. party, and in justice I must persevere in pressing the motion which has been duly put." The Address of Lord Northesk'was then read, as i well as that of Mr. CORBETT, and the question was en put, which of them the Meeting would approve. On the first chew of hands, the numbers were so balanced, that the High Sheriff coeld not decide. It Was, however, on holding up the hats, decided, that the fnajOrity were in favour of the following Address, proposed by Lord Northesk, and seconded by Sir Thomas Miller : TO THE KING'S • MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. May it please your Majesty!—We, your Majesty's most dad fnl and loyal subjects, the Nobility, Gentlemen, Clergy, Free holders, and other Inhabitants of the County of Southampton, beg leave to approach your Majesty's Throne, with the sincerest assurances of our zealous attachment to your Royal Person and Family ; and knowing that your Majesty's true glory is insepar able from that of your people, we humbly beg leave to express our grief and regret at the Convention lately entered into by the Commanders of your Majesty's Forties in Portugal and the Com mander of the French Annyln Lisbon; and, further, humbly to submit to your Majesty our earnest and anxious prayer—That your Majesty will be graciously pleased to institute such full, public, and eifectual,insuiry into this transaction as will lead to the discovery of all these causes which have pro duced an event so injurious to the honour of this Country, and the interest of its Allies !

The evening concluded with splendid din ners at the George and White Hart Inns. The requisition to the High Sheriffs of Stafford• 'shire is stated to be aforthe purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning his MAJESTY, that he will be graciously pleased to assemble his Parliament, in order to a constitutional and effectual investigation into the causes which led to the late Convention, con cluded by the Officers commanding his MAJESTY'S forces in Portugal."—lt is signd by the Marquis of STAFFORD, the Earls Of SHREWSBURY, ST. VINCENT, and others. At the Essex Meeting, as Mr. BRAMSTAN, while defending the Convention and the Officers concerned in it, was reading the article permitting the French-to carry away their horses, a Freeholder exclaimed— ', You ought to indict these Officers for horse stealing."

Last night, or rather about one o'clock this morn ing, the inhabitants of this place were thrown into no inconsiderable degree of alarm, by the drums of the military beating, and the trumpets sounding to arms. The volunteer corps, commanded by J. MILLS, Esq. were on the alert on the occasion ; and their whole company was to be found on the Fort best a very few minutes after the first sound of the drums and trum pets were heard. The South Gloucester Militia, the 3d Dragoons, and the Artillery from the Barracks, were also as suddenly in motion. The alarm, it appears, was occasioned by three French privateers which had appeared off Newhaven, there capturing a large col lier, and subsequently steering westward, for the pur pose of extending their depredations. The cavalry who nightly patrole the coast between this place and Newhaven, having witnessed the capture of the above collier, as it is understood, and fearing that the vessels off this place, if any there should be, would share a similar fate, communicated their suspicions to the Commanding Officers, which gave rise, and very pru dently, to the proceedings here noticed. Various people in the town were greatly alarmed ; they feared they knew not what ; but those fears, even to those that felt them, have been a subject of merriment ever since. It gives us pleasure to observe, that the collier whiet was captured'off Newhaven was recaptured by one of his Majesty's cruizers before it was got more than half seas over. • ARRIVALS—Dowager Lady Somers, Lord and Lady Galloway, Lord and Lady Bathurst, Lady E.
