When we look at the vote on Mon day night for seventy thousand seamen, and the ital.' manse naval establishment of this country, and cote. re also with these and the protection yielded by m the triumphs end captures of the America* well may wonder benched where all the brvidhaliel of the *deep have hid themselves, and well tierilespA inquire where rests the blame of making the navy 4 Great Britain appear like bulks that can neither " 60 , seem." But disgrace cannot attach to this glory ofese.isle. Its character, its exploits•with but half its proper means, repel the disgrace thrown upon it 'b* those whose mismanagement has' rendered Its elreitibeffectual. The blame rests uPbn the pro. per wi " and the country calls aloud for enquiry. I , 11, 'lteid Daititelt observed, there musts certainly, be a nemtier of useless vessels in commission, from . which the' men ought to be withdrawn and turned 'over to *ore serviceable ships; and the reply from :ills.

Lord MSI,VILLE says, these Vessels I I which are not employed, of course he means notfst,l as cruisers are very serviceable aS; convoys. new t pray ? his Lordship tell us not. A 'vessel that is other. •whe considered good for clothing, is deemed the most ilk for a convoy ! Why, this is the very reason that the merchant ships desert and despise the convoy ; end we dare say, if any one of the Captains of the 50 vessels, which are announced at LLOYD'S to-day as , basing left convoy is the Straits of Gibraltar weent ,caked their, ressotrfor this breach. of lnjeuction r deal answer would be, that the conveys were per fectly useless ; for where is their utility, if they cannot cope with cruisers in every point of view. But the triumphant boast of 20,000 metered Americans which Lord Mts.vir.t.e sakes ; --20,000 American seamen captured in this short contest, repeats the Courier, end civeckles at the idea of our prisofis being so well filled.— To our wondering conception this immense number of American seamen fallen into our heath hi se& a short time, - and with so few captures worth white as we have made, did indeed seem strange, and vre: '1+4 , 1 It '; it• sTOCKS THIN DAY •AT OAIK O'CLOCK Bata 24114 • 1.2 Arno. 10 334 3 per t 4.111 Red: 63ii DMA It IT, S per it.eo , t'..ns 041.

If the following statement be true, It is indeed important. We extract it from the Exeter Western Landnery " Lerma, Nov:- 15.—W0 have been favoured with-the following by a very respectable friend at Dartmouth, end give it as we ~shirr it 1--• 6 A Captain DERMAS, 11.11.1110 kil,l/Infr bas just landed, and informed us, that 01' tii,l7th ult. his vessel was run down oft Lisbon by the arm** frigate, Capt. Wise, who informed him, that a thew dajs prerintis he had haarded a neutral vessel from America, which informed him that the Maxedeeieee and United States frigates bad been destroyed by us in New London; that the American President MA plum had absconded, no one knows where; and that the American Cabinet was in the utmost confu sion and alarm. Two gat, rich American ships had got safe into Lisbon. " The chief articles of interest received 'from the Continent to-day, are some :private ale:mute r from Paris, stating some very impartatiti inset* Jilt titpt capital. General Dermas and *Urge pert; 4 4 ' 9 ° epectable friends assembled with' him at a betel base been taken into custody, there seems little dinibt, on charges of plotting against the Government. •No nntice of the event appears ilk the /pep ch Pipers, ewer) , and decision being.. declaim 'deemed ne cessary, lest a prer • nature disclosure should give warning to other accomplices. The state of France may be judged of from this circumstance. ' Its Spain the most rigorous sentences are passing !pen the imprisoned Members of the Cortes, and those who were politically connected with them. The Abbe of St. li.oeromso, aged 70, who bad lived with e‘teens. is banished to a monastery freesia years, and tis property sequestered. Gen. J..O'Dorscialete, Es-Minister, is confined in a castle, .Thit'iser fetar, wo , are assured, is reserved for P. ii..loswist, °Wird . the General Officers who distinguished themselves in the late war.—The King and Ms Mbiistert are gone to the Royal residence of the Emeriti, to avoid, it is thought, being present at the rigorous measures deemed tiecessary. The Clergy are united with the King, for the restoration of the old order of things. ) This we can well believe. • t; An article from the Maine, of the 2d inatiel‘ states, that the Congress have already settled la. !serous affairs; that the County of Clatz, Lusatia, and a part cf Saxony, will be• porated with the Kingdom of Bohemia; that is , Poland, Austria is to have Cracow, and the greatest part of West Gallic's, that is tbe costa. try between the Vistula, the Rieke, and East Gellicia ; in Italy, Lombardy as it was in 1792, the whnle terra firma of the ancient Republic of Venice; and lastly, besides Dalmatia, Ragusa, and C a ptain, the Seven lonian Islands are also to be added to the dominions of the Imperial Heise of Austria. It is not certain whether a part of Swit zerland. namely, the Grlions, the Liviserthal, and the Italian baillioges, will he disposed- of in the same manner.

Tote Sovereign Prince of the Ncreent.sues opened the Session of the States General of Holland on the 7th inst. His speech is too long for insertion at pre sent. 'His Royal Highness states, Viet he awaits with composure the determination of Congress on the principal points affecting his interests, and therefore regrets he cannot set forth the 'precise extent of his territorial possessions at home and beyond sea, farther than that he has in the mean-time, by ar rangements made with England, been able to rake measures for the re-oecopethm of the most consider- . able part of the ancient possessions of the United . . adding, that the commerce of the country Ile Gazette of last night contains the distributlea Provinces; ed t tbe 26 offending Officers of the.
