Oite which men have, when tixei . :see .Ministers • &Angara which arc injurious to themselves; that itsjorions to the stabilitN of their power, while tPlaa;tory acts are ruinous to the very best interests title country. The Commerce of England has of late met with shocks which it can scarcely be 'raid to survive. If Ministers could give one life and health to Commerce they would Win many hearts, and really might' stand up . vrith:lituch confidence under all their surprizing 1)1\00s. lint to give commerce almost a finishing I bleti t and to do that without any species of neces. 1414y e M Ow way to lose the friends they have, and 'to•raake every mercantile man their eager and cla. :morass enemy. We do not expect Miuisters to do anything .ou a comprehensive,scheme for the coon. try; but we are astonished that they can find out no, means to do; little good for their own sakes, and that they will entletheessiTvei, as well as the coun. try. We suppose all this is the result of that infa tuation which Providence has decreed shall be the fore.runner of the perdition of the wicked! This !self-murdering act of Ministers cannot otherwise be accounted fur. We aro extremely concerned to hear of the com. motion among the French prisobers at Bristol. It is true, it scarcely can be wondered at. Disap. pointed hope maddens the mind. Yet, it would be' well if these prisoners would not indulge in resent. ment against those who have not deserved Nothing can be more certain, than that o'er Government have not been to blame in the failure of the negociatiOn for a general Exchange of Prisoners. As r. we have. before had occasion 'to say, they offered sacrifices unheard of before among G.tivernments. They were sincere in their negociatioa, and it was the Tyrant only . that was not sincere, and that never meant to ease one throb. bing prisoner's heart. We have not to blame our Go. vernment in this transaction, bitt this circumstance of the commotion among the French prisoners at Bris tol reminds es of an idea that has long been itn pressed on our apprehension. If the enemy should ever touch this shore (and who dare say he canna?) the multitude we have of French prisonersmay be among thegreatest of. our dangers in that insitiesit. On this consideration, as well as on grounda nf:hts- . manity, we wish Government had accuLd outi 'to the outrageous demands of the Tyrant. A report was in circulation yesterday that Mao. said had retreated. Thu intelligence was saist.to hive bean received by the telegraph. It is truothet the telegraph which communicates with Portsmouth was at work great part of the day, but it was for the purpose of transmitting information thither. A letter from a Gentleman who holds a situation of high trust at Cadiz, speaks with rapturous con. lideuce of the effects which may be expected to re sult from the deliberations and decrees of the Curter. One happy consequence has already resulted—the people are now confident of success; and men of information view their proceedings as calculated to lay a stable foundation rut the restoration of their national independence on the subversion of NAPO. LEON'S usurped power.. A letter from an English merchant at Mogadore, 'dated St h September last, contains the following pa ragraph respecting 1110Ne0 PAEIPE, 60 African Traveller:'—"' I imagine the intelligence of Mr. Nue being alive and prosecuting his travels in . January last, is wholly without any foundation in both. I have been at a good deal of pains to ascer. Ws the fate of him and his party, and have nu doubt Abet arc no more." . •.. • It is a attikiug proof of the high and favourable 'opinion entertained of the gallant and accomplished Lord WELLINGTON, by all religious and political descriptions of his cruatrymen—that the Earl of EINGAL, a leading Catholic Peer, should, in the ''.l.e.esint - tsiceting of the Freeholders of the county of galit, prop.ise a congratulatory address to the ibis Viscount, which was voted by acclamation. .4114TIIUR ViSCOOtit WELLINGTON was bum May 1, .009 4 at Mogan Castle, in the County of Meath. , —lt Is remai kable that his Lordship was bunt the same . year as BONAPARTE, who is three mouths younger. . . The last mention made in the foreign Journals ce- - liti'Ve to the repudiated Empress Jossipur NE, stated, that she was travelling incog. in Switzerland, while her rival, the young Empress, was enjoying the flat. tery and receiving•the incense of th•ise who pretend. ed, formerly, to be the devoted friends of the Impe rial Fugitive. Her hUII63II(I,NA 'OLEO N, hits spies to Watch ell her movements, and she boil& her Ghee!), oo so slender a tenure, that if lib e hail an opportu. silty to emigrate, it would be well in her to follow the temple of her brother.in.law Loma, and seek an asylum in sm.: country where she mild be safe (rout the fangs or the conspiracy of her despot. Never was the mutability of human affairs more strongly or keenly exemplified tban in the cue of this celebrated Lady. & .. t , • NJ:VAL INTELLIGENCE.

The private letters from the British army in Por.. tugal, go even much farther than the accents given by Lord WELLINGTON of the battle of Bosom With the same number of men, the French never lost so many officers'in any of the wars in Germany, as they did at that sanguinary conflict, though up. posed in general by young and. ittesperieitsd tree* who never before were in action. • • . ...v The Equinoctial gales, we fcar, will, beattentla with much damage to our shipping. It bteir a Ire) mendous gale on Sunday and Monday (root 'the,' Southwest; and part of oursqnadron cruizing off; the coast of France was obliged to return to Caw. ! sand Bay, for shelter. Several vessels have also been blown off their stations Into the Downs. It is material for the public to know that the equinoctial rains in Portugal do not last more than a. fortnight—and that they are generally followed by a month of fine weather ; so that if the mighty battle which is impending should not terminate ill a toll defeat °vile one side or the other', the armies *ay keep the field through the whole month of No vember. Yesterday a.Court of Directors was held at the ESA Will House, when Captain J. FITEPATiticIE was sworn into the,sommand 'of the ship Henry .4ddinztost,'destincit to &Smiley mid China. While Feirl Si. l'inever was at Lisboa on the mission width ha executed with so much ability, he had theoTages sounded, and demonstrated to the Court that it might be made to contribute es.. seetially to the protection of the city, by station.' ing gint-vesscis as high up as it was navigable; and he gave them the survey and the soundings made by the able Officer whom he employed on the oc. vision. We have much pleasiire in announcing the arri. - sal sof Captain FLINDEItS, of the Royal Navy, from . the Cape of Goud Rope. ' .. 'Thi; of eapatlim of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Russians, is a source of g reat jealousy to Ails. tria.—The Vienna journalists, when describing the ' , successes of the Turks, denominated them glorious victories. The Cabinet of Vi , Aitta would not per mit such an epithet to be used if it was not aware that the Cabinet of the Thuilieries was indisposed farads that of St. Petersburgh. There are so Many jetting interests on the Continent, that it is liablelo perpetual warfare. Should Massesre fur- Innately be defeated by . Lord WELLINGTON, Russia Witt soon break with France in consequence of the userpations of Bo srapa itTe hr the North, which are It-yelled at the very independence of the Russian Empire. On Tuesday night Mr. LA NCASTER lectured at Carlisle, where a school had been previously estab. fished on Dr. Beee's plan ; but, after a trial of Ic2 months, had completely disappointed' the public expectatiou. The expectations which, had been raised in favour of Mr. LANCASTER'S plitt, were verified on his arrival, for, upon the Committee Waiting upon hitii for an elucidation of his plan, they unanimously agreed to adopt the system cede sirely, and before the Lecturer began, they elected a Master on his recommendation to conduct the i school on the Royal British System of Education. The Lecture in the evening was attended With ail the wealth and beauty of Carlisle, and went off with repeated aeclaniatious. Mr. DRURY attended with I'2 of his boys (ruin Newcastle, which produced a wonderful effect in favour of the plan. Er.opear r; Is T. —A young lady of eighteen, who re. sided with her parents in King's Road, Chelsea, was missing on Sunday night last, and her absence caused the greatest anxiety and uneasiness. She, however, was discovered on Tuesday, at Fulham, under the protection of a gallant of fifry.tive, an Officer on half pay. The gallant was unknown to the friends of the lady, hut it appears she had been in company with him at Brighton, which place she left about three weeks ago. . As Mr. and Mrs. Home Sumner anti family were travelling in North Wales yesterday se'n. night, between Barmouth and Tre Matlock, one of the wheel-horses in their carriage refused the collar, in the deepest part of the passage of Trarth Mawr (an mstuary, fordable at low water), and the effort of the leader.* to advance unfortunately broke the pnle short off, and rendered impossi. We to extricate • fhe carriage, which had sunk considersbly ite the sand. Mr. 11. S. and a friend who was with them, carried the ladies safe to the shore, .and left the servants to bring away whatever things they could save. The tide soon covered the carriage and overturned- it, though it did not move it (ruin the spot, where it was found the twat morn ing, and extricated without damage, except a thorough soaking. t ----.---1.-a. : , LICE-1-U; T.ElE.dTctTltißpunhrsEogtied.4cilo“n,atcit,ue6heot,pii.rhi:oteaein,tt:lr:teh::tii... • • ; Last night the Comic of copera attractionvr e e i n t e t : g s au t l :d na naTntgith;strTetolhieitta,threa.d independent a n unusual When sills piece was origi nally of the Drama.—Mr. littanAm, M 'Nett po x Mrs. STORACE, and Mrs. hlarrocirt; powerful aid to its snpport, and formed " ti t , llc „' : lotion of excellence that cannot be reAdify l eg e° i i. i e '• yet, without meaning any thing hostile 1- „ - „ : great names, we west be permitted to atr to 8 o th s e eultrg e : r w u a r s ifi s a u n e e : aoafto twhiasrra°nPtranCorpaii.:::t..!l:l; general degree. . e , seasonqat n am e ra d l i t q uitted r it i i t tiet e le i o l P io i s uoa l) g er . s a r m t r i it t ta ao h d ni thceadhefnoehtaiPi concern n s i r l e . s ' r n e r e c i s n et e a r:l P I : il c r ii is Fe w i d n eo r ; i t i ing ; h af e o ls , : is. i u t i` 4 l.: 'Mr. lbsassAili , to mel t _ b r io ".

To sandy be: wishes, a jeweller was sent for express from Lode. On his 'Trivial he was shown into the chamber of ha Royal Highness, and she gave him instructions her. self. The ring, with the stone, was executed Mu very short time, and she had her wished.for fetich) of placing it un his MAJESTT'S finger. Her Reid Highness made the man who executed the wen I handsome present, for thp dispatch he hail mid in completing the ring according to her direction:. - Some persons who are in the habits of illumine ting merely to attract public notice to their bolos and calling, supplied several idle boys with On and crackers to let off before their shops IMMO; as an advertisement of their intention to twit! lights to night.
