Orders were received on Wednesday at Ports mouth, that the transports in that hatiniur be wade ready to receive on board a considerable land force, which will begin to embark on Saturday. The 3d and 4th Dragoon Guards will be the first to cuter upon service. If the discoveries which took place in conse quent,* of the investigation at the Bar of the House of Commons, relative to the Duke of You, excited general surprise and intliguation, the in formation derived from the labours of the Coin mittee which has reported on East India abuses, and which was given in THE BILITISH l'aess of Wednesday, cannot be perused without astonish ment had concern. It is, in fact, the 'first glim mering of day which has penetrated into the dark and corrupt recesses of Lea d enhali-street. The Committee, with delicate irony, begin by stating the case brought before them respecting Mr. Tim.- LIMON, " a Member of this. House, and likewise a Director, in which Inc patronage and confidence appear to have been grossly abused." Grossly abused indeed ! Three Writerships, in two years, appear to have been given by this Gentleman to his first cousin, EMPEROR WOODFORD ; hut to have been immediately sold by the latter to ditltrent purchasers. In the third transaction, besides 3,0001. received by Mr. Memel:its for his own use, from a Mrs. GARDINER, he " undertakes to procure the next presentation of a living of the value of 3001. per /ammo, for a friend of Mr. ll'oonroan's." If, after such disclosures, the House of Commons shall permit one of their own Members, who is thus pointed out as the uuques tionable source and dispenser of these venal nomi nations, to at quietly among them, without further notice ; or if they only make regulations of a pros pective nature, without stigmatising the part enor mities ; no radical amelioration or cure will be effect ed. It is certainly matter of compassion, and of deep regret, that so many young men, " innocent and ignorant as they probably are, of the undue means by which their appointments were acquired," must be, as the Committee obeerve, " instantly deprived of their employnients, re-called from belie, and declared incapable of again receiving any einplo) went under the Company." The consequence is, nevertheless, inevitable, and follows from the pre miles. We venture, however, to differ a little from the Committee in their remark, that " the money improperly given for procuring these situations, will be absolutely lost, without any possibility of recovery." If it is meant to say, that such sales and purchases cannot be brought before a Court of law or .of justice, we' agree in the fact ; but, we conceive, that the futility of tracing to the first source all such pretended donattous, and the dread of exposure, will extract the original purchase-mo ney out of its processor's pocket, at least in Limey instances. The Augeran stable, in Leadenhall street, is not to be cleansed by ordinary hands, anti requires Herculean strength, •s well as perseve rance. But we live, and we are evidently abort to lice, in an age of reform. The Duke of You, though protected, and even declared innticerat by the CIII•XCELLOR of the ERCUEQUER and his Mu jority, yet has been driven front the head of the army. The Directors of the Bast India Company, however entrenched to the teeth they may be in the arts of mutual concealment, for mutual benefit, though, as hats been justly said of them, they are " self-elected, and self-conde ell," yet coinot long resist against the spirit of the times, which demands, awl will obtain, reform. Mr. THU.- missoa's name appears in every newspcper. among the persons enumerated, bat not recom mended, by their brother Directors, as candidates to be re-chosen, ou the approaching election, in the Howe List. If he succeed, those who re place him in his situation cannot, we must sup pose, believe, or cannot disapprove, the proceedings err strongly reprobated by the Committee. Reform __ _ T __ __~ ~ T.e~.~ mil atter. -- r . is obviously about to linotrt., '.l every tle i tartin I i'!, , the Order of the hay. War, taxation, and, above all, the revoietioaary scenes act ing ou the Contitieid, will produce it. Look at the Corsican Ruler of Europe himself ! 1V hit is' he but a rrAratter? A reformer of kings, and governments, and tuitions. liars he uut profess, wherever he goes, to reform? flas he not begun by abolishing the most inveterate abuses iu Spina ? Wbo has extinguished the Inquisition ? Who has suppressed the superfluous convents and monastic establishments? Who has elmlished the liquid exemptions, and the badges of servitude Unposed on the lower orders, in the darkness of the middle ages ? Let us be just, and while we boll up to abliorreoce the crimes, the outrages. mid the per fidy of this tyrant, let us profit by the example of his knowledge and comprehensive mind. That instrument, r(furtn, with which he det !Mille 8 Prince., slid dissolves the bond of allegiance, we possess.— Do not *utter him to avail himself of d. Let us use it ourselves. Reform is the magic wand by which this political harlequin pinduces all his changes. With this conviction we dread, lest, is hen the Spassimils shall have stitmounted their first emotions of indignation at his unprovoked in, stoop's, they slimy submit to the reformer, though they would have resisted the invader.—These Cwt. tnent deep atteutitm.

This language i al I/I 1 es a strong appreliensi oil that our friendly relations with that country are not to be of long duration, and that she is shortly to be ranked among the slaves of Bonarawrs. Before Ministers could have foreseen this event, they had made preporotions. suppored to be for the lialtie, •n a largescale.

Their lower deck guns are ordered to be taken out . , and an additional quantity of provision* is to be stowed on board. They are also to take .1 or 100 mere over their complement, and three Commanders, in addition to the present Captains. These three vessels, it was supposed, were to be stationed iu the principal tracks of our vessels, in ►he Baltic, to supply and protect them, and also to cover and assist the Swedish gun-boats. It was also intended to have in the Baltic, in the course of the present Spring, 18 sail of the line, and 3.2 fri- gates, brigs, and sloops, making 50 pendants. Up to the present day, the greatest activity has prevail ed in the Thames and the Medway, in forwarding a flotilla of row gun-boats, to carry one gen each. Two hundred sail of these gun-boats are to be at tached to our cruisers in the Bisbee. The Owen Glendower, a fine New frigate, is just arrived at the Nore. from Chatham ; the Africa, of 64 guns, after complete refit, has dropped down to Long Reach ; and the Dictator and Standard were expected these every tide, all supposed to be destined for the Baltic, as they have a division of the row gun-boats attached to them. It was also the intention of Go vernment to have floating l.ghts in the Baltic. exactly corresponding with the Danish lights in the Baltic, to supply their place, in case the enemy should destroy their lights on shore. Such were the preparations making previous to the late change in the Government in Sweden. Whether its application will be altered from the original de sign, will depend upon the effect of that change ea our relations with that country. On Wednesday ofternixin.
