The reason of their different success is now very well known, though no person has had the honesty to proclaim it, nor any Administration the boldness to attempt to apply the proper remedy. The Office of LORD HIGH AD?dIRAL is put in Com mission—not held by one individual. Where respon sibility attaches, and that 4ot to an individual, but to a plurality, there must be efficiency.' Is there 1 man in this country who would have nerve enough to undertake the sole superintendance of our Naval affairs ? Could one be found of such front as to presume, that in himself Were concentred all that experience, knowledge and capacity, which are necessary for the due execution of the duties of so important a charge, would he receive credit for his boasted qualifications ? Would the Government, after the many proofs which experience has given of the high value of collective wisdom and respcn sibillty, commit an act of insanity by 'entrusting the Aloe to an inditidual ? We mean !Wit:3a disparage his Royal Highness the Duke. of Yottor,, when we assert, that however high his qualificationsrmay be, it is impossible he should be . able tape:form what would require the utiited l moral; and physical powers of several to execute. The wis dom'of a SoLoxtow, and the strength of a SAMPSON, united in.the same person, would not be more than sufficient lot the ,due performance of the arduous duties which belong to the office of Commander in ChIefi—LET,THE ()met BE PUT IN COM MISSION, aad let his Royal Highness receive a due secompence for the zeal he has shewn on every occasion to promote the interests of the Nation.— We say he is entitled to a reward ;—for if his services have not been productive of that success which was hoped for, the fault has not been his, but, should in justice be ascribed to those who expected , from his Royal Highness.what'svas morally and phy sically impossible to be performed by any single in dividual upon earth. WEST INDIES. KINGSTON, SEPTEMBER 10. The Milan frigate, of 38 guns, Captain Sit Robert Lawrie, Bart. sailed on Tuesday for Halifax. She carried 131 of the Spanish prisoners lately xeleased, to be landed at the Havannah. The Rein-deer brig, of 18 guns, Captain Dougl4s, arrived the same day from La Vera Cruz. During her cruize, she took four schooners and destroyed. them, after taking out their cargoes, which she put on board of the schooner Ahavideo, Bassaire, from La Vera Cruz to this port, which arrived with her. The schooner Lady left La Vera Cruz on the 2d ult. and brings information that a felucca had arrived there from Cadiz on the 28th fuly, under a passport from Lord Collingwood, with the intelligence of the revo lution in Spain, and of the formation of a Provisional Government at Seville, on which occasion- the inha bitants of La Vera Cruz illuminated their houses three successive nights. The populace had proceeded to break open the doors of several houses belonging to Frenchmen, and maltreated their persons: but the Governor interfered in their behalf, by placing their property under a guard, and sending them into the interior until the popular fury should subside. SEPTEMBER 27. We have done our duty..,--Let Ministers do theirs ! —lf they neglect • POTTENBURGFI M4IL. This day a mail reached-town, brought from He ligoland by the King George packet, which reached Harwich yesterday. We are sorry to state that the accounts brought by this packet respecting the da mage occasioned by the gale of the 7th instant, are extremely distressing. From St. Jago . de Cuba we learn, that the Cover nor of that place, who it seems greatly favoured the French people settled there, has been removed by the Governor in Chief at the Havannah, the Marquis de Sonserullos, who has appointed another in his room. The French, alarmed at this measure, expostulated against the removal of their favourite, and plainly evinced a determination to resist the newly appointed Governor. He had, however, arrived within eight miles of St. Jago,, where, with a considerable body of troops, he had taken up his quarters, resolved not to enter the town until the French had left it, and had transmitted orders to that place, directing that all, the French should immediately embark and quit the island. These orders were not obeyed, and Spanish force Owe understand, were marching in all direc tions, "for the purpose of co operating with the new Governor in entorcinz p ro mpt obedience to the laws of the island. The french, whose numbers are re presented to be no leSs wan 12,000 in St. Jago, were determined to resist, and the greatest proportion of them were well armed. A severe conflict, it was ex pected, would soon take place. ' OCTOBER I.—By a felucca which arrived on. Mo nday from La Vera Cruz, we learn that a vessel of war had arrived theft from France, last from Guada- 1 loupe, with a Frenchman, sent out to assume the Go vernment, and to proclaim Joseph Bonaparte sing of Spain and of the 'lndies. The vessel had scarcely anchored when the news reached the shore ; on which several people immediately went on board, and were preparing to carry their threats into execution, of set ting fire to the vessel with all her crew, when the Go vernor was under the necessity of interfering, by seik kg her, and sending her crew to prison until the com motion had subsided. Tale wilowing is the Copy of a Letter from Rear- Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane to Sir John Went worth, Bart. offering every protection in his power to the,commerce of the British colonies in North America : No less than fourteen sail of vessels, laden with *sugar, coffee, &c. Were lost on Sandy Island ; but we are happy to add that the crews were all saved. Five sail are on shore on the Great Island, and may possibly be got off; Three sail are lost (galliots). Every soul on board the latter perished !—Five sail drove out to sea, and hate not since' been heard of— supposed to have gOne . alstore upon thp, Main.—At Heligoland, two hius*s in the Lavin , Town, wer washed away. • The Musuurreof -sloop of Aver, drove from her Floorings, but rode the gibl'otit-iiith two anchors a -head.—The pa 44 eut fronign - anchor and cable. --IkTot a vessel tliere A. gFny deseripdon, escaped without damage. . . ...,.
