The Statesman. — London, England, 1812-10-16 00:00:00

L o N noN : FRIDAY, octont a 16, 1512. Dispatches were yesterdly received from Lord TricART, and in the lfternoon the following Bal eful was issued by Government : i t „ r t. The company assembled .tlnlin adjourned to t he Nisi Prius Court, where the election took place,' !fithout t!.e least hindrance. The late Sir G. Web qer was deservedly beloved by all ranks and descrip tions of people, throughout the whole of the extend ed limits of this county. The amiable qualities of die father are far from being obscured in the dispo ;Pion of his descendant.—The same spirit, in fact, seems to actuate him, and to emanate from his deter. minations ; and, with such powerful advocates in hi% favour, the result of his election was long since anticipated, and his success ensured. TAtrsrrow.—On Thursday sennight this elec tion was decided by S. C. Graves, Esq. signifying his determination to resign the contest. Mir:.Baring and Mr. Collins are therefore again returned fur this Bo rough. At the close of the poll the numbers were— Mr. Bariug Mr. Colliuts . Mr. lir tve t;') Oat of the whole number polled on this occasion, it is a singular fact, that there were were only NINE persons n i!o did not vote fur Mr. Baring—an incon testible proof of the very high respect in which that gentleman's public character is held, and a gratifying assurance that he need only persevere in the same honourable path he has hitherto pursued, to secure the unabated confidence and zealous attachment of the electors. Mr. Graves, in his farewell address, imputes his defeat entirely to the latene-s of his canvass, and to the con-a-pent promises obtliaod from the electors by the ottn - r elinlidates. This gentleman, whose talents amply justify the most.unlimited calculation of his future eminence, has pledged himself to stand for Taunton at the first opportunity. Should he ever obtain a seat in the Legislature, we will venture to predict that the happiest exhihitions of intellect by our most eminent statesmen, in the very noon of their parliamentary lives, may be again witnessed in the glowing eloquence and capaciousness of under standing which distinguishes this gentleman's public exortions. On his nomination, Mr. Graves made some point. eta observations on %slut his conduct should be, and hinted at the probability of instantly prosecuting some daring enq oiry.

A butte in the new position seems inevitable at an early day. " TORMAZOWS corps would be near 100,000 men in a few days. 46 The detachments from Riga and Finland were moving to join WIITGENSTEtN." By the latest dispatches from Lord WEtttmeTom, we lament to hear that the gallant Marquis himself is unwell, and that there is considerable sickness in his army, and even in his Stair.

'st oinks be sure to shoo, Aud loqk at home, there's work enough t' be done. F.xperieuce ought to have taught this reverend all. vocate for war, that the sword, the faggot, exile, and proscriptions are more calculated to irritate than to heal a di,tase which has its source in the mind, and that ae most efficacious emoluents arc sound doctrines and charitable instructions, inculcated with mildness. To oppose NAPOLEON with the weapons of scurillity, may be expressive of the pitiful policy of our Ministers, and the abject state of their hirpling prints ; but it is truly lamentable to see so respect able a Journal as the Times degrading its columns with such unprincipled trash. The meagre Bulletin, issued last evening by Mi nisters, does not contain a single new event. It is, in fact, a most paltry document, and totally unwor thy of commenting upon. It deals wholly in asser tions and anticipations, and is calculated for no other purpose but deception ; for we can with confidence repeat (what we stated yesterday), that very un favourable intelligence has been received from Russia, not only in a•certain quarter, but by seve ral respectable individuals totally unconnected with Government. There art• letters in town from Peters. burgh (via the Gotteuburgh Mail), of four days later date that Lord CATIICARfi interesting. dispatch.— : These given very different colouring to Russian pro spects, and the general state of affairs in that un happy country, than what is to be found in the garbled extracts published by Ministers. Sere u.al Merchant•, and other persona of property, were preparing to quit Saint Petershurgh, with their effects, with the intention of coming to this country ; and the general persuasion among the best Unformed persons unconnected with the Court, is, that Peace must be immediately concluded with the enemy, to cave the remainder of the kingdom. One of the letters above alluded to states, that the French had begun to erect their batteries near Riga, and were expected to be masters of that place in a few days. The Medusa frigate has arrived from Sir Home POPHAM'S squadron, and it is mentioned, that " pre parations were making for the attack of Guettaria." We have accounts by this opportunity, which slate positively, that the attack had been carried into ef fect, but with a total disappointment as to the issue. The purpose is now wholly abandoned. By the way of Liverpool, advises have been re ceived to a very late date from New Brunswick.— They inform us, that the ships with British liconces destined to the United States, which bad been cap tured and taken into Halifax, had been set at liberty by order of the Government. Some of the papers talk of a grand dash to be made on a vulnerable part of the French coast, by . 30 sail of the liuc, aud 33.000 men. Is it possible to suppose that the people of England would endure a second edition of the lamentable and disgraceful Walcheren scheme ? Or will the miserable defects of that policy, by which our forces are dispersed, and readered useless to any important effect, never he learnt b) experience ? We feel convinced that nothing but an abNolute want of money prevents Ministers from raisiee Lord Wyr.t.ixoToN's army in Spain to a numerical parity with that of the French ; and surely the resources which are demanded fur so vital an object, eau never be meant to be wasted on this idle dashing' scheme, which, after all (to use a phrase of Nlr. WixenAses), may turn out like a cuap-de-main in the Court of Chancery. It is suggested that the delay in issuing letters of marque against America, has originated in a wish to increase the fund of the Crown Droits, which ' arises from the captures made before an order of general reprisals. There is a elmsiderable stock of such property now on hand at Halifax, and when it comes to adjudication, instead of going wholly to the captors, an indefinite proportion of it will come under the management of the Lords of the Treasury. We have the pleasure to announce that the convoy from Gottenkurgh, consisting of nbout 200 valuable ships, has arrived ; and we have not yet heard of any damage sustained in the course of the voyage. By the last accounts from Lisbon, we understand that Marshal BERESTORD was recovering from his wound. The heat of Lisbon had been found too in tense for him, and he had moved into the country to facilitate his recovery. Thesc•accounts add, that the excellent and able Officers, the Earl of DALnetrmE and the Hon. Gen. STEWART, had arrived, and im mediately set off for head-quarters; but many . Generals are wanted. The following is the list of plumpers polled at the late City election : Waldman Cnmbe • 17 tVood ...... 52 Shaw It appears that the inhabitants of Moscow, such of them as were left, stupidly conceived to the last, that evory effort of the French would prove unavail tug in their attempt to take possession of their sacred city ; wherethey vainly imagined, that their temples, con.retat t d by the hallowed image of the Holy Vir gin, would prove an impregnable bulwark against the approach of the French nrrny.
