Mr. c&LCRAFT gave notice, that as no securi ties were taken for the fidelity of the late Treasurer of the Ordnance to his must, he should bring the sub ject under the consideration of the House on Thurs day, the 15th March. ?LACES IN JULTERSPON. Mr. BANICES brought up the Report of the Com mittee appointed to inspect the Lords' Journals on this subject, which was o r de r ed t o lie on t h e table. _ _ Mr. iIANKES then gave notice of a motion for Tuesday, for an Address to his Majesty, begging that he would be graciovAly pleased not to grant any far ther Reversions. sion. Now he certainly felt that his claims were not equal in this respect to thoseof the Hon. Colonel, for he himself was only in the Local Militia, whereas the Hon. Gentleman (Colonel Wood) had served in the 012 Militia (if laugh.)—This certainly made * difference in their military claims, and the Hon. Gentleman must be rewarded first, (a•laugh). Now, for his part, he did not expect that Ministers would offer him any tellerships, but if they should offer any sinecure to the Honourable Gentleman, as a reward for his services in the Militia, he thought that his feelings, as a sol• dier, need not be hurt by the manner in which his services were to be rewarded. He had an example before his eyes. He saw that another Militia Colonel, Colonel Charles Yorke, of the Cambridge Militia, had actually accepted one of the Tellerships, therefore it was not to be supposed that comfortable sinecures were revolting to the feelings of military men, The Report was then received without a division, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. INQUIRY ON EXPEDITION TO THE SCHELDT. Mr. PONSONBY hoped it was to be understood the Inquiry was' to proceed. on Tuesday, and on Mon. day, ii the debate relative to Lord Chatham finished within any reasonable time. This was agreed to. • LOTTERY. Mr. WHITBREAD moved for an Account of the Number of Persons to whom Licences had been grant ed for selling Lottery Tickets for the year 1809, and the number of Tickets sold by each.—Ordered. TH EVENING STAN. SPAIN. Lord COCHRANE wi3hed_to know from his Ma jesty's Ministers, whether they intended to employ any military force to assist the Spaniards in protect ing their coast, which was ill defended through Ca talonia. ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought, that if any military force were sent to the points which the Noble Lord desired, it would afford assistance to Frai.re rather than Spain.• At the same time, he wished that the Nob% Lord would not dis close to the enemy those points which were open to attack. Lord COCHRANE in reply, observed, that what ever the Right Honourable Gentleman might think, the matters he had stated ought to be attended to by Miniiters. LORD WELLINGTON'S PENSION. Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up tbe,Report of the Committee of Supply. . . Lord FOLKSTONE hoped, that when they con sidered the Address of the City of London, and the difference of sentiment upon this subject, the House uld pivse some time before .they agreed to such a He believed, that if they waited for a very short time, it would he found that those great ser vices, of which so much had been said, would, pro- bably. he followed by results the most disastrous. If this were the case, the character of Lord Wellington as a General, and his claims upon the country for re muneration, would be very materially altered. In order to see whether such results were not likely to take place almost immediately, he should move, as an amendment, That the consideration of thit Re solution should he postponed till Monday se'nnight." Mr. Secretary RYDER said, that if ever there was a question which was carried by the whole and LONDON. undivided suffrage of this universal Empire, it was this Grant to Lord Wellington.— (Loud cries of hear, hear !) —The country at large was so convinced of the great merit and important services of this Noble and gallant General, that nothing could be •conceived which would give more universal dissatisfaction and disgust, than for the House to hesitate in passing the Resolution which was proposed, and which in its principle had been already agreed on. There was no precipitancy in passing this Resolution ; it came before the Home now in the usual manner, and in the regular stage. He could not see that any future circumstances which the Noble 1..0rd (Lord Folk stone) could anticipateopould at all altcroedrininish the claim which Lord Wellington had now upon the Country. SATURDAY, MARCH S. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Mr. t REEVEY was really astonished at the asto nishment professed by the Right Honourable Secre tary. He could hardly believe his ears whoi he heard him spc.k of the undivided suffrage of this whole Univer4al Empire. Were the lti6 Members of that House who had voted against it forgotten, or did he find this undivided suffrage in the Address of the City of Landon? There certainiynever was an officer whose claims to a pension produced so great a difference of opinion in that House, as well ai out of it. As this Bill had only gone into a Committee at two o'clock this morning, lie thought it was not too long to post pone the third reading for the time stated by the Noble Lord in his amendment. 3 per Cent.

It was supposed at Cadiz, but we hope on insufficient grounds, that he was utterly in different whether he resigned the fortress to enemies or allies, if he receive either from the doe or the other the arrears of his stipend ! ! The same Gentleman states, that there are from 1.5 to 18 thousand troops in Cadiz. The whole ...: the population, on the 14:h ultimo, amounted td lIIi nearly 190,000. In die port and magazines there were S 5 .days provision for the inhabitants, and spore' than three months supply for the garrison. Not only tll4 English and Portuguese regiments from Lisbon bad arrived, but also the I*X) men who had been sent - from Gibraltar for the purpose of occupying i Ceuta. . The followiig interesting particulars respecting the clrcumetances iutd resources of Cadiz, are ex tracted filen) a letter from that city. If they ate cor ?Pet, it certainly appears possible to retain the places if that shall appear advisable, after the enemy shall have subjugated the rest of the peninsula : " The meeesnonssof the enemy in this province have been chive. — racterized by their national activity. Withoint the least opposition they have overrun the whole province of Andalusia, and they have sent a flag of truce to the isle de Leon, to demand the surrender of Cadiz. " Most of the towns between this city and the frontiers being open, the invading enemy has-had no mare to do than to march from the pr.sses to Cordova, Seville and Xeres, and la.t of all to Port St. Mat y's, which toreros one angle of the bay. In a direct line across the sailors call it eight wt- nine English miles, but as the French must mate the circle of the bay, they will have to march about , 47 English miles before they are opposed by the Isle Of I .con, strongly fortified and garrisoned with about 10,000 men, seven miles distant from Cadiz. This island is united to the neck of land towards Cadiz ; the isthmus i, front a quarter to halt a mile broad, and is fl.tnkvd hy the sea on one side and by the bay on the other, enfiladed by zun-boats and men of war, and pro tected by rheig.ikx-,:- . 1:•:,:. i " Supposing the French in possession Of .the isle de Leon, WH IT B R EAD said, the question was 'merely 1 t w h h e L inus e, I siucievrs"llieix'ece'eliiinrgmtarrocmh o n a q u arte r this r. i t i o r it f . ca u seway, ,,,liie b broad , , l i T the merit of Lord Wellington was sufficient ; when they are again opposed by flanked forifications, mbuming de him to the pension.

Its departure is believed to have been accelerated by the apprehensions of the approach of the enemy ; but so late as the 22d, though the ene., my was daily expected, he had not appeared on the shores of the Douro.—This confirms the doubts we expressed yesterday of the accuracy of the reports brought by the CoNat.•noß to Plymouth. We think it probable however that the evacuation of Portugal thus prematurely announced, will be realized at no very distant period ; and it would give us real pleasure to be able to announce, that our army had got away without annoyance or loss.—We have to state, how ever, that Ministers still seem to entertain hopes of being able to keep Portugal ; for orders were yester day issued for 2000 of the King's Foot Guards to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation on Mon day next, and there is no doubt that they are destined for that country. We also know that orders have been issued to send thither some more Officers of En- sneers. The letters from Lic'oon arc not of a later dampaan former accounts.

Sir THOMAS TURTON strongly censured Mi nisters for granting the pension, when they had the Tellership an their gilt.

As to what was called the of*Talavtga, it :appeared td him that it was gallant defence of a post..
