The gallant Officer agreed to do so, but owing to some inadvertence or accident indeed of giv ing the notice, that gallant Officer made the motion, ' and accordingly papers were list night ordered which sere not in possession of the Admiraltr till three o'clock this day. He would, therefore, now propose so cbviate this informality, by moving that that order be discharged, and that one of this day be substituted in its place • which having been done accordingly, the Hon. Gentleman then laid upon the table the touater-narrative of Sir Richard Strachan, which was ordered to be printed.—Adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON: THURSDAY, MARCH 8.

The Documents from the French Mi nister, respecting Holland and America, are pecu liarly interesting. The Dutch are charged with poverty and imbecility—" they are a Company of Mercilants, but not a Nation"—and these are some -of the ostensible pretexts for annexing Holland to France : it is easy to perceive, however, that the trade which the Dutch have contrived to carry on with this country, is the real cause of irritation against them. King Lours, in an affectionate address to his late subjects, Assures them; and we think with sincerity, that he has omitted no opportunity of remonstrating against the oppressive policy of his Imperial Brother towards Holland. The conclusion of this address affords some slight grounds to hope, that the execution of this new pro ject of the French Cabinet may be for a time sus pended.: in-fact, letters from Holland of the 2dinst inform us that.the f reneh troops had not then passed the Maese, nor had there been any new exactions or confiscations north of ibat river : the inhabitants still pemained in a state of gloomy suspense. With regard to America, the line of policy adopted by the French Minister, is highly conciliatory : an artful attempt is made to take advantage of our re cent misunderstanding with that country, and over: tures are made to renew a commercial treaty between America and France. The Archduchess MARIA L4)13/SA, daughter of the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA, is the destined bride of NA POLEON. The contract has been signed, and we soon expect to hear of her arrival in Paris.—She is the daughter of FRANCIS by his former marriage, and niece to Louis XVI. of France.

Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, a messenger was dispatched from the house of the American Mi- nister, with his Excellency's answer to the last dis patches which he received from his Government. Yesterday, being Ash Wednesday, the Bishop of London preached at the Chapel Royal, for the first time, since his appointment to that See. A Council of the Cabinet Ministere was yeste7day held at the Foreign Office, at which the Earl of CHAT , HAM attended. We are in daily expectation of news of the falling of Guadaloupe. The. General Officeri who have gone on this service, under Sir GEORGE BECKWITH, t.he COM . mander-in-Chief, are, Generals M , Leax, HARCOURT, WALE, SKINNER, and BARROW. General HOUGHTON has returned to England. Lord WELLINGTON has, we are glad to hear, adopted the prticlent measure of incorporating a certain number of Portuguese troops with each Bri tish regiment ; by this means he has under him an effective force of 23,000 men, besides the Portuguese army under Marshal BERESFORD, which will likewise co-operate as an army. A communication we received yesterday from Lis bon speaks in more melancholy terms of the prospect in Portugal than some of our other letters. The.wr►ter, after pointing out the ground for apprehension from various causes, desires that no answer may. be given to him, as he is fearful that the reply would devolve into the hands of the enemy, who would. most cer tainly make an injurious use of it. A private letter from Bourdeaur, dated Feb. 2.1, says, " A report is circulated here, that in a few days 'we are to-prepare for the reception of a large force on its way to Spain, but no official notice for that pur pose has been received by the Magistrates of this place. Affairs in Spain, we hear,, go on as well as could be wished for the Emperor's troops, though we have no very late advices. It is expected, that before this time Cadiz has fallen from the hopeful character of the news last received. On the 15th, three regiments en tered here on their sv.ty to the mountains. They are of the artiller.y, and have their field pieces with them.• They state, That others will arrive in a short time. A great quantity of Corn has also been brought in, and is to he forwarded with all expedition.

It is not known precisely who will succeed Lord`Cuantam, but Lord HAR-• EINCITONiS mentioned, and we believe with proba bility. The second division of the Guards, intended fur foreign service, marched yesterday morning from Portntan-street Barracks for Portsmouth. • The third division marched this morning from the Parade, in the Bird-cage Walk, St. James's Park, being the whole complement of the Guards intended to form a part of the Secret Expedition. The service for which the Guards are destined is, we understand, of the nature of a coup-de-main. Sir SIDNEY SMITH will command the naval part. Whatever may be said of the ages of the Members of the new Medical Board, we understand that all of them are men conversant with business, and great satisfaction is expressed among the Medical Officers of the Army that, for the first time, the heads of these departments are men who have regularly gone through all the steps, and have been on service.

LORD SONIZRVILLR'S SPRING SHEW.—The Yard was on Tuesday, crowded with genteel company, when a variety of new invented implements for the improve ment of husbandry were exhibited. At three o'clock, a meeting of the Smithfield Club was held at Freemasons' Tavern, R.. ASTLEY, Esq. in the Chair ' • after some routine business, several new Members were elected. At five o'clock, S6O of Lord SOMERVILLE'S friends sat down to an elegant dinner—Lord SOMERVILLE in the Chair. The premiums having been distributed, his Lordship amongst other toasts gave, "6 Mr. Pinkney, the American Ministe?: and may harmony always prevail with those who speak the same language." Which was drank with long and loud plaudits. Mr. PINEY rose, amidst a thunder of applause, which for some time prevented his speaking, and said, MY Lonn—l beg your Lordship and this Company to be persuaded that I am very grateful for the unex-, pected notice which you and they have been so good as to take of the United States and their Minister.— I thank you, in the first place, for my country, and I hope I shall not be thought very presumptuous if led, or even misled, by my wishes, to conclude that personal kindness may have had some little share in prompting your conduct on this occasion, I venture to thank you for myself. 1 trust, my Lord, it is scarcely necessary for me to say how sincerely I join in the wish which has been so well received by the Noblemen and Gentlemen here present, that there may be perpetual good widerstanding between Great Britain and the United' States. An American Mi nister has in truth no merit in anxiously desiring cor dial friendship with this country on terms consistent with the honour of his own, and your Lordship will allow me to rejoice that there do exist on both sides, the most powerful and obvious inducements to culti- , vate such friendship. We need not trouble ourselves to inquire whether it be true, as some politicians have pretended, that interest is the only tie of suf. ficient strength to hold independent nations together as friends, for we are fortunately bound in amity by all sorts of ties, which I fervently hope we shall nor, even if it were possible that we should be so dis loosed, be strong enough to break. No reflecting and. impartial man can doubt, that the true interests of Great Britain and America are compatible in all cases, the same in most. A liberal and comprehen sive view of these can lead .to no other conclusion than that they are calculated to cherish and invigo rate each other. But a sense of this compatibility and identity of interest', effectual as it ought to be in communicating a character of steady friendship to our relations, is not the only pledge of harmony be tween us ; for a thousand kindly influences, with which calculation has no concern, combine to form ail auxiliary pledge, little inferior in strength, I should hope, far superior in moral beauty, I. am sure, to the other. These influences, my Lord, .it would be a pleasing, and perhaps not unprofitable task, to xeview in detail, and by reviewing to give them freshness and augthented activity ; for the noble and salutary pur poses of peace and kindness. But I have already trespassed too long on your indulgence, if, indeed, I have not trespassed upon that discretion which so. emphatically becomes my situation. I beg leave to drink the health of your Lordship, &c. Sunday the body of an Ensign belonging to the Somerset Militia, was picked up at New Passage, near Plymouth. He fell overboard from one of the prison ships in Hamoaze, on Christmas day, and the body had in vain been searched for ever since. When tnken'isp,apth arms were gone above the elbow, and the crabs had eaten away the head. Tuesday, at the Thames Office, J. &mei and T. Gardner, belonging to the ship Venture, from Spain, were committed tbr re-examination, charged with breaking bulk during the passage, and drinking and wasting two pipes of wine.. Tw,i Masters of trancpoits from Walcheren, were contacted in the penalty of AE.I each, for not del:ver ing a quantity of ball cartridge; on their arrival in the River. • -- • - •'.. - 1 . - • NairAliblifiSALlG/ 1 116Se - k FALMoiffit MAACR 3: Nil Milfisty's ship I'lE5 ritol.lll gives ceniroy instrietlects to vessels 'bound to the West Indies,--.Sailed the Princess Chaslot.e packet, with two Malls for Liabor t Duke of Kent ditto, int 1.0 Leeward Islandi I Counresa of Ciliate, er ditto, for Cadiz; Ind -2 .. • the 'Townsend ditto, for Oibtilmr axial Malta. - • • • PLYMOUTK.MARCH 6. 7 '!

Tuesday a set of mills, on a new construction, neat Woodbridge, in Suffolk, took fire acrd were burnt to the ground, with a large quantity of corn. Friday last, an unknown Gentleman veiled at the Middlesex Hospital, and left with the Secretary, £1320, on the express con&tion that his same, if ever discovered, should not be made public. . Yesterday the adjourned Sessions for Londpn were beldat Guildhall, before the Recorder, Aldernten, kc. THE KING v. MAR es, Esn.—This was an indictment for as sault against the defendant, who is one of the Aldermen of the city of Norwich, upon the person of Mr. Waldegrave, master of an inn in Bishapigate-street. The prosecutor and defendant were both lessees of the Ina, and some misunderstanding having arisen between them respecting the right to bring the Bury coach into the yard, the prosecutor insisted that the coach shonid come in, the defendant, en the contrary, saying that he was determined, sooner than it should, that life for life should decide the contest. In this state of mind; abqut the hear of the arrival of the coach, the defendant, who was in waiting, began to eject the prosecutor, oet arms., and having succeeded in turning him off the premises, closed the gates, and. thereby prevented the coach from coming into the yard. The Jury, after a very tong trial, pronounced him Guilty; and the kecoßota, after lamenting that these parties had not settled their differences without coming Into Court, or dered the defendant to pay a fine of one guinea, and then be dis charged. EXECUTlON.—Yesterday morning Samuel Inger, otherwise Lee:on, was executed in pursuance of his . sentence opposite the Debtors' Dow!, Newgate : It may be recollected by our Readers that this unfortunate man , was tried in the January Sessions, at the Old Bailey, under tie statute commonly called Lord Ellenborough'rAct, be wilfully, maliciously, and unlawfully presenting a loaded pistol at Thom Boswell, and drawing the trigger thertsof, with intent to MU Juarl . ' murder the said Boswell. The prosecutor was a poor psdnor, residin,g in a small cottage, .on Enfield Chace ; ,std Walker, !vb. it appears was a deserter rrom a marching - regimiet, Came to the cottage under pretence of buying potatoes, andwidia panelling or some sprats, which the wife of the prosecutor hadjost dalleseir ..-. ' for supper, he drew a pistol from his breast, premetted it at the, prosecutor, and demanded his money. But the peomeittor sot bile l ...„: . wife, with equal resolution and presence of mind, weft upon .0 , him and seized him : the prisoner immediately simplied dot pip - ,,"::„,,c. toi, which providentially missed fire. The petssolo bbis 2CF o ' strong, active, young fellow, endeavoured to Z their grasp, but in vain ; when he drew another mid snap pad that, but it else missed fire. A Lang contest then tea place, in which he knocked down both the prosecutor and Ms wife al ternately several times ; but each resolute in their ineentions, would not quit their hold, and at length, by a formate blew given by the wife on the prisorier's head, they got him down, and instantly fell on him arid secured him, tying hit bands and legs in such a manner us to prevent his stirring, and in dim skis- ' ation theywetched . him till Morning, when a polies officer was procured, and he was taken into custody. On examining the pis. tole they were both found to be loaded with balls. Upon these facts being clearly proved, he was capitally convicted, and received sentence accordingly. From the time of the unfortunate wretch's condemnation down to the last moment of his existence, he evinced the West banisEiti and profligate disposition, treating the Rev. Mr. Ford, the Ordi nary of Nevegate, who endeavoured to nuke him sensible of his awful situation, with the greatest disrespect, and shewing the Ut most contempt for every exertion that was lade to convince Elm of those religious duties it became him to perform ere he nailed into eternity. A few minutes previous to his death, he seemed wholly unconcerned, laughing and conversing,with those 'mod him with perfect indifference: With the same callousness did he ascend the scaffold, smiled at the surrounding 'pottage, to othcsen he bowed, and ,hewed other synstoms of insensibility; 'at the sp. , proach of the last awful moment, almost unprecedented. During this melancholy scene, Dr. Ford was using every pot* Isle argument to Wing the unfortunate man to a proper sense of his impious conduct, but in vain ; till within a few seconds Of die 'last dreadful moment, when, as he was about to be tamed oir, in a few imps's-tonal words, he repressed his conviction of his *id" edaess, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, elongated ale r. vent prayer to the throne able" Cata-roa for imam aml, tons ,launched into eternity 1 - e,'.;:" 1 , 4 ',...
