It is presumed that the bold and unsupported charges of the agents of Prance.

Is it probable that the British Government would agree Co assist Burr. whom they knew, by reputation, for Its unprirri,sSed spirit of intrigue, when it turned a deaf ear to the long-continued and personal solici tations of Miranda, who was at length obliged to depend on individual enterprise for carrying into cxecntihn his schemes against the Caraccas? The polity of Great Britain, in remaining inflexibly anise t' every plan of revolutionising the colcuies of her enemies, is obvious, when it is considered that the greater part of her wealth and territory idenslsts in trans-marine possersio3s, which would be continually endangered by the spirit of revolt, and the desire of becantiog independent. Nothing but her apprehension of the consequences of this principle operating on her own colonies prevented her from proposing to, and assi 'deg the Spaniards on the River of Plate, in establishing their own Govern mot, independent of the mother conntry. This plan would have succeeded much better than con quest, in detaching for ever that rich and imepense :ourury from its dependence on any inn-peen tower. Seeing the subjugated state of the coati. tent of Europe, it is much to be regretted, that ogland (instead of weakening herself at home in Us moment of danger) had not begun the system revolutionising, rather than of attempting to +miner Spanish Ametica ; she therehy would have ade every man interested in preventing these luable colonies from falling under the dominion Bonaparte, which they must do in the event of a ace.

Aram 7. A letter from a British Field Officer, se:ving in the Russian army, dated the 6th of Match, gives a favourable view of the state of affairs on the other side of the Vistula. The vrriter estimates the lou whiih the French have sustained since the battle of Eylau, in killed, prisoners, and deserters, at 19,000 men; and states it as the gent ral opinion, that since they *it crossed the Vistula, they were not sh-rt of 10,000 men, lore d.• nynGal. We have the satis• faelion of finding frt•tn this letter, el .t t Genc•.ii flimr:teszts had been aCtually joined by '2.5,0!)0 fresh Cossacks, who were constantly harasting the flanks and outposts of the French, and cutting off their supplies and convoys; and that the writer coasiders the French cavalry as aliiitut an. nihilated. The Prussians had greatly recovered their spirits. We received, yeverday. Barbadoes rapers to the 14411 of January, from which we have made the following ex ttaas 11111111AtirMS, JAN. !S. The Circe frigate, captured on the 2.1 inst. the French privateer schooner Le Creole. of one gnu and 27 men. She was taken In a cairn by one of the Circe': boats, with only six men, commanded by Lieutenant "rNUSI AS, who very gallantly boat-Jed and carried her before any cf the other beats sent after her came up. She this day arrived here. Hs NI cs r ships Canada and Port of Spin, from Autigna and Dominica, have arrived since our last. The brig Clyde, GAIN!, of this port, from Da!ti.. mom arrieed on Suaday, his been seized under an order of Captain COCIIIAhE, of the Pl,rt/s&miLer. I,nd, on a charge of having articles of contraband on board. We stated last week, that preparations were made on Monday and Wednesday, at the Quea N ' s P. lace, for swearing in Viscount Met.vi s a Mem ber of the Privy Council. It appears, however, that the Vote of the House ef Commons, of Wed. aesday. the 1011 of April, 1105, for laying the re sOlittions of the House, upon the Tenth Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, against his Lord. ship, at the foot of the Throne, 'hold,' he first re scinded. For this course, Miui t -rs have the au. thority of Mr. PITT. That gentlem an de:lared in the debate on that day, in the Huse of Commons, that while " the said Resolutions appear upon the Journals of the House, all thoughts of Lord M at.- vitAs's restoration to power or Mice must be at an end." the Prints devnted to the ptesent Mini.try, one day assure their Readers that there will be an iin • mediate Dissolution of Parliament, and the next day, that there will not. This oscillation is eas;ly explained. A state of agitation and alarm is ne cessary in aid of the exertinns now making to gain over a m ajori.y. in support of the Minister. To effea this purpose, every means of address and in fluence will be tried ; and the threat of a Dissolu tion must operate powerfully upon a cenaiu class of Members in the House of Commons. In this way the menace may serve the Minister more than an adual Dissolution, should he I+ave recourse to that desperate measure. In Ireland, the Roman Catholics have possessed the eledive franchise since the year i 53, and a:reit influence would be uniformly exerted against the present Ministry. This influence is sufficiently formidable t 3 be able to turn the scale in several counties. In several parts of England, a disposition has been already rn initiated, that bolds out little hope to the Minister of any advantage horn :t geaeral eicarpa. T:te pulse of the people has been felt in the principal distrids of the country, and it has not been found to beat hi unison with Miniiterial hopes and expeditions. 7",ie Lerch of Saturclay, alluding to some sound ings lately taken in Yorkshire, contains the fol. lowing observations upon this subjea " A County Meeting, we understand, is talked of by a few sanguine people, AS a rule de gstrre to strengthen the hands of the new Administration ; and these is certainly much benevolence in the in tention of giving vitt .grb to those who stand so de plorably in need of at.

We lately mentioned the arrival of several per sons at Liverpool, Irons New York, to give evidence on the trial of ('apt WHITBY, of the Liand,r, for his eonJua on the New York and Halifax station, daring which the American sailer, PLAKCE, was killed by a shot from the Leordcr. These several persons arrived in town, yesterday, preparatory to the trial. The ill humour excited in New York by that event, and indeed any angry feeling that pre- vailed in America, in consequence of the conduit of our cruisers, nppears to uave entirely subsided. We read in the late American Papers, a paragraph acknowledgin g the polite and handsome behaviour of our ships of war, and the pains taken to avoid all offence. The following paragraph. from a New York P a p er , of the 10th, may' serve as a sample : 6.
