" On the lOth of September, Count Lacepede made a report on the project of the Sena's!' c:rond turn, and the reports above mentioned, ads luau% the senate to adopt the above project without altemincin i and to communicate this resolution to the Empe ror, by an address, which he read, and which was Hp p: oved by the Senate." % Tor fleet that sailed from the Leeward Wands, under convoy of Ilia MaJcwrw's ship Amities, are all arrived, except the Albion, Tuuurxdx, and Arpfaae.

The Right flon.:;ir WILLIAM SCOTT. 01... Judge of His M v.tcsvr's High Court of Adininrity, has sa,ilotVor Listnny.,,, The ostensiblelk• IS hie 114e/the an . 11 1" Alivisterhil Prints will not allow that his joorinty ilium soy other object. They as sign ter - grounds tif 11 . 14 opinion, that Sir W 1.1. i v Sciwr had expr;44Zwisli to visit that rink, fur tbebenetit of the climate, previeus to the D ti.- inueLE-Couvention, and that it would be idle to suppose; Shut his visit was connected with that 44 its it must have been executed before he 14 is „possibl) readi L i s bon. They argue thus: —' On. the Ist instant, Government" they hay, " received au account of the battle of Viincira.— In his letter to the LORD MAYOR, Lord CASTLE ' OMAGH informs his Lordship that General LERM AN had arrived, on the 22d, at licad-quarters, to treat for terns. When Goverument made that cismusimicatiots, they were not, we take it for gtentcd, in pore...ssiou of the terras of the armis tice, hut they might have been on the next day.— Hii the sth, the Newspapersii.moiniced the arrival of a vessel at Penzance, which left Mahn on the ifith ult. and brought advice of an armistice having been concluded. That intelligence was perfectly correct —llll armistice had been concluded, and it is probable that Ministers were either then or be fore the .ith in pessession of the terms. They *night have sent off orders disapproving of it, as they must hare dissityroved it its t h e most de eisive manor r, sod directing that no Convention be concluded on such buses. Snell orders, couiiiievemild not reach the Tagus before the de nnitive Contentious were concluded, but they might H.6rjbteltieyeert •carriesl into execution. It w true 1 Fit t itibarkation was to take place in se r.. Fi/ en•urys stileeliwiatitication ; but the conveyance or 311 large in siatinititli their baggage and plait der, .would require all our transports on ilia coast 'of Portugal. would Sir flew venture to etyma all our transports away, full of French troops, to the French coaw E.--.llight it not happen, as it has happened before, that though UomArgiaTt might let Our tramyorts lute a French port, lie might nit let them one a And then this very army, 40 conveyed in British slops. might, with other troops, double in uninher to our own, be Sent off instantly to Portugal, to int.ke an attack upon our array, who would not hare a single transport on the Portuguese coast to coiniuumeate with the large ships of war !" Now in all this argument, adduced to prove that Sir IVii i. 14•11 S cover journoy has no connexion with the late arrangements in Portugal, we do not find one particle in support of the position, hut, ou the contrary, a great deal directly against it.— The Conventiou was signed on the Vd, and it stipulates that the British forces should begin to carry it into edict, at the expiration of seven days, that is, about the 29tb. Now the argument sol oists that our Ministers had information of the basis about the Sth—and that they highly dis approved of we add, that, having disapproved of it, they are highly reprehensible, if they did not, without a moment's delay. send of • faust.aailing vessel, with dispatches, expressing their disapprobation, and protest ing. In the strongest manner, against auy Con vention 'pan such basis. A vessel of thtu deacriptieu might r. ach Lisbon in six days, that is, ahem the JIM, only two days after the . earliest possible ecintouruccment of the execution of the terms. It i• to be pi tsumed that Sir iILW thos apprised of the sentiments of (;n^ernn►eit, would not be over-zealous to expedite the completion of the %usiness. and, in such a case, all steps that could b^ possibly taken, consistent with the honour of ti✓• country. to prevent the execution of the treaty, would be itistitiable. We know not upon what grounds Sir HEW DALRYn ?LE undertook to answer fur the Portuguese nation, and to rectrimme the plunder of their churches, &c. as fair legal French property. II s. far them the Portuguese may fairly interpose between the 11)•1.- WIMPLE Cooventien and its execution, we know not: and there. may be many other ditieulties iu the way, of which we may avail ountelves, but at pre sent unknown to the public. When then the situ ation of Lisbon Is eunaiden•d as a , retreat for ill health, moil that Sir 11• i, maw Scorr stanshs pre eminent in this country. as the man most pro foundly and extewively acquainted with the law of nations; a e own, that until we hear souse stronger arguments to the contrary, we must remain of opi nion; that his visit to Portugal is not unconnected with the political state of that counts•. Every day that &apses, and every new informa tuna that reaches US from iho Continent, however it will be r •nrrteti or alt:erril, in order to verve the purposes of the Tyrant who still enntrou!ii and oppres.,cs hurope, yet mienifests clearly how much ht. as already fallen from the terrific eminence on which he ' , mod only a few months ago. Time and eve - tits have deninnstratetl, that the flagitious cri minality of hia euterprize, in &discoing and iol• primiping bis Allies, the Kings of Spain..ut order to place on• titter Throne a vile Adventnrer of the island of Corsica, his'own biother, was exceeded bi r its iinprndenee. Whether the attempt erigfaated front the intexication of victory and prosperity, or from a systematic conviction, that, at whatever per sonal hazard, all the ancient dynasties must be re generated from the BONAPARTE. the BRACUAR NOIS, the NIERAT, and the other revolutionary stem.; ; the result is one and the same. The atro city, violence, and contumelious outrage evinced towards the Spanish Monarc h y, followed by reenes of military execution in the capital, &roared the na ti on . fide has found, by experience, that the you test in which he is now engaged, differs radically, is all its bearings and consequences, from Ins campaigns Nome' Austria or Prussia. We ha 4 rialy to peruse the Mauirestos and Addresses is sued front every, part of Spain, in order to see that his progress, though not yet stopped, is impeded nad .atibarrasseil. No doubt, he well apprsaiates, uud thoroughly comprehends, tile altered nature of the war into which lie has now precipitated himself, from that of the preceding years. So do all the accomplices of his crimes, the participators of his spoliations, and the objects of his favour, or of his bounty. The war is now become, avowedly, not a revolutionary contest. to establish Ihe political, commercial, or territorial supremacy of France, over the surrounding Europcau Monarchies ;. it is not a war of royal and national ambition, to en large the. Frtrucit dominions, and extend its frontier; nor is it a div;mated soceesainii between two can didates, where the suffrages or affections of the people itiiglat lie divided: -It is a perfidious and flagitious struggle, vommenced with delibeiute iii tention to dethrone the riglithil Sovereign of an allied kingdom, whose only creme is the legitimate title by which he sways the sceptre. It is the pro secution of a system, by which, in tarn, all the Earopean Crow us are to be rendered revolutionary. Though FERDIN•ND V 11. is the victim actually under the knife, we cannot mistake that every other Prince who reigns by prescription and devolution, is equally marked out by the Imperial Executioner fur the sucrifiee. iVith a presumption which strongly impeaches the sobriety and teinperanc • of his mind, lie even announced to Europe the com prehensive sentence, which, in the plenitude of his imaginary power, he had passed on every Royal House, a lieu he publicly dc-clareil, that e. Prowl deuce had destined the family of BON APARTI to goveru Europe." Never did Neat), or did Hont rlA N, venture to make such a declaration in favour of the Jet lAN, or of the FLAVIAN families. It woo reserved for an obscure native of Ajaecio, in the nineteenth century, whose crimes alai enormi ties exceed even his talents or his conquests, to astouish mankind by such • reclamation. Hap pily, the poison contained in it the antidote. From the magnitude mid violence of the evil arose the care. He is already hampered in the toils, which he lonnelf brut itijinheiously fabricated; and though he may extricate himself, or pro tract his fill, his awful piovessive course is ar rested. Instead of victories. he has experienced three months of perpetual defeats, or disgraces. Instead of placing JOSLYN on a Throne, that wretched substitute of the F;encli Usurper is be come a fugitive, whose very residence is eteu un known. Instend of converting Spain and her vast colonies iuto a revolutionary province, whose youth lie had destined to subject England to his opprobrious bondage ; he has united the Spanish and British nations by ties impossible to be broken. Instead of consolidating the greatness of his brothers, Generals, and accomplices, he has committed to hazard all the impure fruits of their courage, capacity, and crimes. instead of Kings and Governments, fv..ble, venal, or debased, he has to vanquish a whole people armed in defence of their religion, property, and existence. Instead of a country, open, accessible, and prepared for re volution, he finds a kingdom into which the only avenues lie through posers and defiles; blocked during many months of the year hy semen; while behind these natural barriers, a hardy and valiant rate of mountaineers onstruet his aulvinices. la stead of leverets iiii itt or desolating provinces, itn pervious from situation or from climate to the English Saito and multi-., he has trausferred the theatre of war to shore, v, hich we can approach at every season, and oil which we can with facility land troops, amnion tuna, and money. This is the conflict on which the Usurper is about to enter, and this is the prospect before him. We trust, that at a moment when he seems to be abandoned by fortune, defeated in the field, and surrounded by diffculties, he will not trod his beat allies and surest protection, in the imbecility, vacil lation, and ignorance of Ills MAJLSTY'S present Ministers ; or in the still more shameful, as well as inexplicable, misconduct of our Generals andCom menders. Wherever the evil has originated under which we at present indignantly complain; whether it be in the Cabintit or in the field; whether the culprit he here in the Councils of the Sovereign, or in Portugal, framing Conventions, instead of com bating the enemy ; we believe that the public voice will not suffer him to esespe the just punishment of the late ignominious transactions.
