WM. COBBETT,; -...11. DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S ARRIVAL. The iVorit;ng Chronicle of to-day, announces tbil event in the following paragraph, on which, when we have inserted if, we have a remark to make : „ The Duke of Wellington has arrived from the Conti " Dent. We had prepared our readers for his return, the • eldefnegeeiatlon on the subject of . peace or war having • beesfaeourably concluded ?reach Government, "skirls rendered kis prescace no tosser necessary at Ps " rig.

" who hoe great inflame( lathe Cortes ,a! the pelmet me,. s• went, and,every eircumstamse that has Milano trans , " pieta. leads us to hope and believe that a good ander er. k wariles Witt snow be estabtletved believes Frame. swel l "-Spain. It aagars well that the subject o f their differ ." wires has, in a great measure, been leit to Britten medita• " neer and that the French have divested themselves of " tbet haughty end arrogant tone they a little time back as " sowed. It is also .rooseling to reyeet, that what they now dewaod of Spain is not iesulting or degrading to the "national character, consequently it cue become a sullied " of discussion with the Cortes, and of neyotiateon with "the Ezrestive. England now stands In the character of a "tnediatress and umpire. and we trust her good offices will " be crowned with complete success." Now, we beseech our readers, especially those who may wish fur peace, to look attentively at this curious article. You see, first, the matter is settled ; the greatest Captain has succeeded; the negotiations have been fa vourably concluded. done then ? No ; it is not done ; for the Chronicle hopes and belieces, that a good understanding will be established between France and Spain ! Tile deuce I What! hope for what yon have got ? And then, comes in one of oar Lord Johns and Lord Charteses; one of the Peers Bill gentlemen; and he is going to Madrid, and be is afriend of General Alava, and General Alava has great influence in the Cortes! And what of all this ? In the brat place,wbat have the Cows to do with the matter? It is not they who want to go to war. They want to be la alone. . What is the 10.44 FIILROY going to get them to do, then ? And, besides, we do not think that any of the Lord Charleles would befriends of General 'LAVA, if General ALAVA did r.ot think very much as the Stitt. miter Lord Charles's of France think. Oh ! England is. an Umpire, is she ? And, which side will she be of, do you thick ? Will she befer or against, the sort et Republic, now going on in Spain ? In short, if this news, or a , y thing like it, be true, the Spaniards will be compelled to make sock a government as f ranee and England Alt, please! And this is what the Chronicle calls " consoling!" We shall, before long, see what it will end in: at present we.deem it romance; and surely we are justified in so doing, when we hear the Chroni• tie, is another place, ray, that the King of France had a that with the Duke of WeittNovo:v, that the Duke said, " how many men can you command i" " Perhaps. 100,1.100." said the King. " 500,000 would not do the dasimess,"said our hero!—Why none but downright idiots CIO believe a syllable of this. And, besides, what Ally, or what inbincerily, is herr, all through the piece? If the Bourbons are so sure of being beaten, why do the Chronicle so warty the gods with prayers to pot it in the her rts of the Bourbons dot to march ? Let it answer us that one quesfion ! The Deblia Fuming Pus?, of Saturday last, contains the Corporation Addresf, presented that day, to the Lord Lieutenant; and his Excellency's answer. In his answer, his Excellency observes, that the outrage, on oc casion of which, they addressed him, certainly admits of no palliation from any attendant circumstance ; but that the offence is a more proper subject for the consi dentists ofthe Courts of Justice than of the place in which kedelivered his reply. In the close of his speech he exhorts t►e addressers to assist him in the auspicious task of atoning the ieritatioas which disturb the harmony of the City, and tonpiats the horrors of the present crisis, by a cordial co-operatics le the noble work of peace.— In his answer to ths College AiJress, his Excellency • +ll.- • %Ili . _`'~. -~~. ,~ TEII STATESMAN says, "with regard to the offence which has been com- mitted. you may be assured that I have no other feeling than the desire that LAW and Justice should be executed in Mercy on this as on every other occasion." - Lisbon papers, which have arrived to the 7th instant., possess considerable interest. The Ordinary Cortes of Portugal assembled on theist. The King made an et. fort to attend in person, but an indisposition by which' he had been for some days opp d, became so severe as to compel his Majesty to absent himself, and to corn-I mit the perusal of his speech to a Minister. Neither the Royal Speech nor the President's answer contain any allasion to the state of foreign affairs. This omission, however, is compensated by an article professing to be official, in an annexed paragraph from a Madrid paper. By a report of the proceedings of the silting of the Cortes on the4th, it is confirmed that the Queen of Por tugal has declined to swear to the new constitution; in consequence of which her husband has directed her to retire to the Qainta de Ratnalhao, one of her country residences. there to continue until she shall have; ' recovered her health ; when, according Ito law, as a refractory subject, she must quit the kingdom. Her health, however, appears to be so bad that there is little chance of her being likely to be subject to this law, lei the aittiugs of the following day, (the sth,) &oboe Pato Soria read the following motion:—" It being iodises*. I aeble that the law shield he carried into effect, as well with regard to the es-Queen of Portugal, as any other person wbo may refuse to swear to the political consti• tatioo of the taionarcliy ,• and its execution having been delayed by the report of tea physiciana, stating that her life would be endangered by the severity of the weather if she should travel in the present state of her health ; I propose that the Government be required to order, that the same geaphysicians do continue to attend the ex - Portuguese citizen, during her residence in the Quints de Rainaibao . , and accompany her up to the period of her quitting the Portuguese territories.' Ilds proposition reinainea over for a second reading. A mercantile express arrived yesterday from Madride bringing 'deices from the Spanish capital up to the 14th inst. Every thing was tranquil there at the above 'date, and the most favourable accounts continued to arrive from the provinces. The only new occurrence that had taken place in Madrid, was the banishment of M. Pizarro, who held the appointment of Minister pre vious to the revolution, and of M. Jonama, who is known as having written a work on the subject ofJuriee. 'f he former had been sent to Ivies, and the latter to the Canary Islands. A Madrid paper, brought by this conveyance, con tains the followiog important articles—" A person re siding at Lisbon, and on whose authority we can rely, Worms us by toolay's courier, that the Portuguese Mi nister for ForeigaAffairs, in conformity with the general *Mot tie nation, and his own patriotic views, has de finitively adopted the ultimata% proposed by the Spa nish Government, accepting the plan of an offensive and defensive alliance between the two nations, and leaving to a period of greater tranquillity the discussion of the old pretensions to Olivenza, Montevideo, &c. The bases of this alliance are very judiciously drawn up. Its execu tion is particularly easy, mud its conditions are equally honourable to both parties, and are fonnded on the principle of rigorous reciprocity. A select corps of eight thousand Portuguese, of all arms, will immediately enter Spain, to remain at the disposal of the Spanish Government; and if circumstances should farther re quire it, this corps will be increased, according to the necessity of the case, and to the interest which both na tions feel in defending the common cause at every ex pense."

Our contemporaries copied the paragraph, and added, that a requisition had been slot ell for continuing it.

LOSS OF HIS MAJESTY'S SWOP RACEHORSE. - [FURTHER FA RTICV.iI Re.] Official accounts were received on Saturday at the Admiralty of the loss of bis Matepty's sloop Racehorse, Captain gockling, in attempting to enter the harbour of Douglas, Isle of Men, on the night of the 14th instant. The following letter on the subjeet will bs found inter esting : " This vessel had been ordered from the Plymouth station to the Isle of Man, as convoy for the Vigilant cutter, Lieut. Read, which had been disabled in a heavy gale in Douglas Bay, on the 6th of October , and oblig e d to cut her mast and'throw her guns overboard ; she was with much difficulty brought into the harbour there. and, after having undergone a temporary repair. was te hive proceeded to Plymouth tinder eosivey, as Dees stated. The Racehorse left Milford Haven early on Sa turday morning, the 14th instant. After taking a pilot on board, she proceeded for her destination. They made the island about three p. m., but the weather being thick and the night pitchy dark, the pilot, it is supposed, on nearing the shore, mistook the Bay of Castletown, which is very capacious, for th at of Doug las; and about half pest five, when the land was descried close to thens, in attempting to enter the bay, the vessel street upon Latium's , Point, which is surrounded by tremendous and almost perpendicular rocks. All hopes of saving her what once given up, as shefiiled instantly, and the pumps became totally useless. Guns of distress, with rockets, false fires,and other signals were made for assistance from shore; but the wind blowing directly into the bay, and hying rather fresh, two baits oniv could be procured that would venture out to their assist ance, which they did with lanterns is their bows; and many of the inhabitants rushed from the town, in a most dismal night, to the beach, is hick is fall three miles from it, and over the greatest part very dangerous, from the rocks and broken ground to be passed, and this in the hope of being useful to the unfortunate soft* . At the time she struck, the Captain and Senior Lieutenant were both on deck, and it appears that no fault whatever can be attributed to the officers on this melancholy oc- cation. " It now became necessary to save the lives of the crew ; and such was the excellent discipline on board the ship, that nut a mac attempted to quit her without orders. We understand that the captain had the ,roll of the crew, and on each man's name being called over, he stepped into the boat, when an officer was aimed to descend and take charge of it, and to land if possible among tlut rocks, of which there appeared but little bepes, as the sea was heating over them with great violence. Happily for all but the last boat, this difficulty was completely overcome, as by this time fires were made with straw in different directions near the wreck where there was any hopes of their landing in security. " The Captain, First Lieutenant, and • Master's Mate (Mr. Bone), came by the last boat, which. Inform- Gately. was reviser crowded, sod consisted of seventeen ;1 emma...111404w Siwkliwg being go IVA . man la/ 9 (pitted the ship. When at some distance from the rocks, the boat at:fortunately upset, by which all were left to shift for themselves.

" By this sudden catastrophe the officers have lost every thing but what they had on their backs; yet time object that creates commissaration is the widow of the fisherman who commanded the bosh and so gallantly lost his life on tae OCC4IIiOJ ; she had just been delivered of her eighth child, and has, by these means, been deprived of all her hopes I. this life, which depended solely on her hasband's exertions : it is not, however, doubted but that Government will hand somely provide for her—it Is the least recompense she can expect.

For six hours or so he went at the rate of five or six miles an hour, with apparent ease. During the night he took several short rests ; and so mach bad he gained upon time, that, at eleven o'clock on Tuesday. he was pacing it leisurely at about four miles an bow . a e mningly confident of ultimate success.
