WiNDILIAL kee The hallowing Latter at APPIAN, has I ern hi the Infjtior some lame iris, bin for waht roust could not be ear r inserted. In the former letters which I have had the ho- n•.ur of addressi..q to yr u. I have stated the ad• v• **vintages which have resulted to the army of France, from the sy►tem established for the administration, t •etics, and rnnnazement cf the Frcnch Army ; and i. orflich has not only easentay contributed to tho.e s uccesses so manifest in the two List campaigns, but has been ev''n apparent in their defeats. I h ave a l so . taken the li;.sert, to urge a re hum of those soli-dant Miiiaary Estai4ishments, which are so enormously ery.eils!ve to (;',7ernmeat, without any soul ad . ',incise annexed to their service; stAd the necessity of inPiworing our Military S; stem. Whilst the enemy has been seriously checked in his career upon the Cortincnt, which is strikingly evident Irom the eitst Bulletin. wherein he says " That it d:ctuot come into Cie calculations of the French Genernl .to force thee linssian army in the __Lauri:us " tav'etear he hal • in view, and the possession of which would have marked a visor]; whereas, the reverse has taken place, and be has retreated into. car ton:nents ; whilst his tone has been changed into galimitias, anger. and pitiful subterfuges, too contemptible even to impose Ilona the minds of the credulous; whilst the loss he has sustained sine the battle of Pultusk, without being able to advance, must cause a degree of despondency in his army, and give fresh vigour to his opponents ; whilst he is drawing every man, in the shape of a snldier, from the interior of France, to join the Grand Army, as it is called, which is at least six bundled miles distant from /its own frontier; we are struck with amazement at this reverse of fortune, and, instead of vigorous exertion on our part, at such a favourable con junaures we are pausing about raising men, and augmenting our army. It is true, we are about to arm '200,000 men ; but when will they be ready for service ? Simplicity is the soul of construition but there appears to me, as far as I can judge, to he too much machinery in this measure, and too many persona to be employed in the assembling, forming, and training of these men; which will retard their progress. Every class of the err , - munity is to be engaged in this business. However, Me most wait the result, trusting that the derails w;11 be less complicated than they appear at first sight. and that we shall proceed with promptitude in the execution of the as. For the guidance of those who may be employed in this service, I beg leave to make one observation, which, although self.evi dent, is more material than it is generally consi• dered—lt has been a very common error to distri bute arms, on various occasions, without sufficiently attending to the care requisite to keep them in per tea order. A firelock is of no more use than a club of the same length and weight, if the man who is to be armed with it, dots not retain it in his pos session ; " if he be not taught, and has not the means to clean and keep the lock fit for service.— It was a great error, which originated in fear, to establish depots for the arms of the Volunteers; for these Corps, which were in the habit of lodging their fireiocks after exercise, knew so little of the use of them, that if a flint fell out, few of the men could replace it. I have mentioned this circum stance, to skew the attention which will be required to keep the arms in a proper and useful state of repair, under the Training Aa. if the profession of arms be the intention of those gestkmen who are saving in the Militia and Volun teers, let ;boas hoist the star.dard of service ; which eAll thew their zeal, and mark their military ar dour ; and I have no doubt but thousands of brave men will deck to their banners, to support the Do. no!ir of their country, and share in the glory cf their leaders against the enemy. Government shonld promote and encourage such a disposition. A formidable army might be raised, classed, and trained, in a very short space of time, if the Militia and Volunteers weie disposed to aa with energy, as real soldiers. What are we waiting for now We I should carry the war into the heart of France—Our Navy would intrepidly second and support such expeditions as might oblige the enemy to withdraw a part of his force from the North of Europe.— We are greatly Naval, but not equally Military. The brilliant exploits of the Army are upon an in ferior scale. Our minds are cramped on the con sideration of the extensive operations of the field. This is the moment for enterprize ; and if we do not avail ourselves of it, we shall low the most fa vourable opportunity wh i ch has occurred since the commencement of the war. It is said, that the Great Men of this Country must have Militia Regiments— For what ? 'the present times are widely diierent from those of the year 1759. All the world is in arms, I and we must follow the example. There most be many serious clashes before Europe be tranquil:iced. Then why should we waste our time and pay for imaginary soldkos, who are to do nothing more than brush their gaytnrs. and march from one cou-sty to another ? I da not understand what is merit by Defensive Army ; it is like Defensive Operations, ruinous in the adoption of thorn. If men in arms ate not to be a'five in war, they are of no use to the SLAV:. LA us have baubles and play. things, in time of peace : we want soldiers now. The wisdom of every government should be di reaed to such msasures as may be ntirt conducive towards the suppression of prejudice and error. It is therefore incumbent on all thosc who wish well to their country, to concur in reforming the Militia and Volunteers km regular soldiers, that we may have it its our power, without delay, seriously to annoy the enemy, and that they may p it ticipate in the honour of the contest. The imptoveinent of our Military System, beiig a suSjea of great magnitude, embraces a very ea tensive and, in i:s parts, requires a most mi nute investigatiorr; but twin too copious to be ciCtailJed in this tort, 1 shall only consider it gene sally under its shift-rent heads, and Wing i: for ward in substluent cammunications. AMMAN. CHANGE OF MINISTRY. (Extract from a Donal P:wet of the Mb instant • " We are informed, that the Catholic Bill is not the Isle ground upon which Ministers are to be din missed, for they had ri ide such alterations in it as must • give every satisfation to ecligious scruples in a certain quarter ;' but they 4 ft und themselves re quired to enter into new pledges and new etlasernento as to their future conduct, under oft pow3le cic-uat,.catee —pledges and engagements, which had tin , er been proposed to them, or even hinted at, on their first coming into office' Should this be nix:, we can easily perceive Oft impossibility of their re maining in power ; and while we deplore the re sult, we must admire their understanding and their patriotism. We are also told, and eve dare with Inglis, that • a due regard to their own dignity, and the purity of their motives, will prevent Ministers from tendering their resignation.—They have respeafully declined to be retuned by pledges, which might involve the very exitteace af the •-ountry : and it now remains to be seen, what will oe the future measures of those, whose advice has been listened to on the present occaaon.' —lt gives us infi nite satisfaftion to see these great man maintain their high chataEler, to see them descend from their seats, crowned with hcnnur, and cheered with the applause of the good and wise —A London Print Las the impudence to assert, that • Ministers will retite from offi•.:e, without exciting any feeling of regret in any quarter.' Had the writers in that print, tl,e Huskissons, sad the Castlereaghs, beheld the gloom, the despondency, the ai. , ,tation cf this City, for the last four days—had they heard the expression of the public fei,ling and sen timent at our Theatre on Saturday night, they must have then acknowletrzed, what in their hearts they how to be true, that the regret is very neatly univEasax, cod that joy is coniaed to a contersptihlefiw, who are the ;Anders of Faaion, and who, amidst the confusion and degradation of their country, hope to gratify their malice,by prayer, and their avarice by peculation. But let not the Friends of the Constitution, of rational freedom, o. external peace, and of internal tranquillity, despair ; bad men and bad measures are seldom of long du ration—they defeat the end for which they labour. In this country, in order to acquire a greater degree of power, attzmpts will must likely be made by a certain party, not only to divide, but to drive the People to distraction t—the good sense of the nation will, we are convinced, defeat all the efforts of these incendiaries. Let the People not infringe the law, and Ministers will not dare to violate the Con stitution." THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, MONDAY, Ithaca 30. The papers and letters, from Dublin, and every other pan of Ireland, where the change of Mi nistry was known, are filled with expressions of deep and unfeigned regret at that event. The removal of a set of men, who enjoyed the full and entire confidence of the country, and of foreign nation,, would be a lamentable case. under any circum stances ; but it m;:st be particularly distressing t.) thine wha feel they are the cause. Such is the 'reeling of Ireland ; a feeling farther aggravated by the refleflien that the new men are not in the number of those whom Ireland has considered her friends. Sir JOHN Naus ray has sent in his re signation, and Mr. Fosse has been invited to sue ce.:sl him, as CHANCELLOR of the Extritoutu of that part GI the United Kingdom. There has not been time for the arrival of an answer. If Mr. Foa r n thinks the present Ministry has a chance of standing their ground a few months, he will acept the offer. We wish Lord RBDCSDALE had chosen some other way to shew the strength of his nerves, than by accepting the Trish Seals. We have received Paris Papers An the 22d, and Dutch to the 25th.—The ; ...ona cur, of the 20th, contains the Address of the conservative Senate, in answer to Boa AAAAA s's Message, Inns Warsaw; from which we have made the folh)winkextraB : You cannot. Sire, fi7lit any longei fur fame ! Ynu are in possession of more glory than :my hero has ever acquired. But you contend for a peace which may mute the happiness of the great people; of that people, who, by their courage, by their la bours, by their industry, by their love for you, so well deserve the felicity f o r which you every day brave so many ohstaclis and perils. They will, Sire, shortly behold you surround. d with innu merable trophies. They will •behold around your triumphal car y•rur invincible legions, holding out to the admiring eyes of grateful Fiance and Eu rope, the olive of peace, which you will have con quered: With what transport will they hail your au vast presence. Ar.d with how much devotion, and &fedi*, wait* lam a n t h at u greatest of monarchs shall have done for their glory and prosperity. " Already, Sire, we are delighted in consider- t the arrival of your august spouse in this great ciq, as the forerunner ef so happy a day for all Fre:.ct.. men, and when the Senate will be Allowed to pr, sent to your MAJISTY the tribute of its gratitude, its admiration, and respell." The rest of the answer is in the usual style of c.. . mon place fulsiime fl tttery. We have etiract.:,! this passage, as it appears calculated to prepare tb, ' Public for BON•F ARTS'S return to Paris. Indeft,- report was current, yesterday, that an Ameriostil vessel, just arrived from a French po rt , h a d Stoup. • intelligence, that by a Senates Centeltwn, rem :: pasied at Paris, the Estrin** bad been rectlle;s from the army. If any such proceeding has takti place, it must have been at the suggestion of 014 EM P ROlt himself, or Tatt.eva osts it, its me: quenc- of the deplorable state of affairs 13 PeLtil, A conspiracy at Paris, or plan of a costa;-r-ret,4l: tMn, would sso come very opportunely ia Aid of 'i d fame, and afford a pretence for his re:urn to cu capital. By such au artifice, he would prevent %I t revival of the recollation of Lis disgraceful fi.. a tit from Egypt. and landing at Fi rine. The French S per cents. wore on the 19 7f 45 c. and I.e A•_t:ons de la Banque 121.31. 75c. The Messenger who arrived from Pt•tersbutlb, on Friday last, brought with him dispwches letters to the Bth instant. Before his departure, General BENNIGSZN'S ()facial Accounts of the battfi of Breunsherg had reached that capital, a erred' which, we are as...ured, was transmitted t. country. The fighting, according to tliese advices, c-ot. menced on the 4 .Z.41, and continued until t!;!.! ‘;:.4 Februaty inclusive. The result was glorious to rte Russian arms. Sevent .en Lagles were added to BENNIOSCN'S trophies at Petersburgh, a quantity if cannon t+ken, and the loss ,)f the French, in kilted, wounded, and prisoners, exceeded 15,000 mut; that of the Russians was stated at 6000. Sir A arena WELLESLEY. it is said, will he the new Secretary to the LORD LI ItliTilNA telr or Letters from' (+ream. state, most positiv.ly, that the Austrian army has entered Aavari a. The Earl of Cusrou has resigned the of St.-James's-park. Capt. Bum &set, of the Areas. arrived in tl.e River from Tonnir.gen. mentions that a report pre. vailed there on Tuesday, that the French h•id keel defeated with great loss, between Alarienwerdvr Risedburg, on the 3d tnst. Another tftiou N tioned as having hem fought near Thotr, but :.e date, ate. are wanting. In constquence of the departure of MJjor.Ges. Lord Foams% from Dover, the command of the troops will devolve on Major G-r.eral PATIOS, un til the rd:urn of Lieutenant-General S'r G. Lute Low, who is meted at Canter bury, in a few days. The llety,DA V, an American, from Faimatth; the "furore, HALL, from Poole ; and the Alerando, L A U GIITtN, from Yarmouth,are captured Ly Froth privateers, and carried into Leghurn. 'fire present Ministry, deprived of the lower 4 lavishing places or reversions upon their creatures, it is said arc resolved to make a general sweep of all the persons appointed during plea.nrc, in the time of the late Administration, for the purl"e of creating patronage.
