the 11... the interrogatory so pointedly put 4 6 :Noble Earl near him (Earl Temple), tbat the Hon. Gentle man could not be induced to give any satisfaction to the House upon the present question. It is in sisted that the war with Russia has been caused by the violation of the Capitulation entered iuto with Denmark ; and on a question of such vital concern to the country, to refuse giving an answer to the charges alleged, was, in his mind, the greatest con tempt the House or th, country ever witnessed.— The Honourable Secretary has told us, that the terms of the capitulation were left to those most capable of judging of them. He has said a good deal on the subject of his doubts, as to how far this treaty was to be considered to extend, and of "getting it to Lord Cathcart and General Pey- Malin but it was odd enough to remark, that, during the period of these pretended doubts, wegoetations were carrying on for the violation of the capitulation, and for the occupation of Zea land with Swedish troops.

Accounts were received yesterday from Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, stating, that he had reached Madeira in pursuit of the French squadron ; but that on his arrival he found a letter there addressed to him by Admiral Ducttwoarm, ordering him to return to his station, as he had gone on in search of the enemy. Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, in obe dience to this order, had given up the chase, and was returning home. Mr. SHERIDAN made his promised motion, last night, in the House of Commons, respecting the Danish Expedition. His speech displayed all his usual ingenuity and strength of argument, etubel h‘hed with all his characteristic wit and good hu mour. The motion was opposed upon the ground of the impolicy and impropriety of disclosing such intelligence, and negatived after a long discussion. Yesterday, on the trial of General WHITE.. LOCKS, Ma o r KING and Lieutenant-Col. Davy, of the 3th Regituent, were successively examined, and detailed the operations of the two wings of that regiment under their respective commands.

The Bill for regulating the Shipwrights' Com pany was read a third blue, and passed iuto an act of the Court. Petitions to the House of Commons for Bills for improving Smithfield blarket, and for extending the powers of the Court of Requests, were agreai to, and ordered to be presented by the Seism yrs. attended by the Rnairmiumacka. Upon a report from the Coal and Corn Com mittee, the Court agreed to extend the term for the allowance of an a►nuity to Mr. Jowl Ittnay. The Rhine, Captain, FLA, from Hull, which was driven frOm lielignlaud, in the gale of the 12th inst. returned a few days after, end discharged her cargo; she was driven on shore on the 40th inst. but had not sustained any material damage, and was expected to be got off next tide. A letter from Lisbon of the 15th of January, states that many of the British subjects had sought refuge on board the Russian ships in the Tagus, not knowing that Russia was at war with England, that they had been clAimed by the French General Joao's., but that the Russians refused to deliver them up.
