He sent some hundred camels, laden a ith water, to meat us an the desert, under the escort of a party of troops, titan inOlAnleti no camels, forming a line.looltiug, and, they say, an efficient sort of cavalry. Camels are here much more commonly used than horses, and I often antic I I~ them' for many miles. We remained an the banks of the Gleeful' for near ik fortnight, and from thence reached blonitann in four or tire marches. The town is large, wailed, and posse*sed of a citadel. The Go vernor, who is a Suddoo Zye, (the name of the King of atbool's tribe), exchanged visits with us; but as he did not seem to relii.h eifr being encamped eo close to his aalls, we moved ship a fe , ‘ days to the Chrnaub or Asecines. on the banks of which we remained several days.

We learn from Antwerp, of the date of the 10111, that the Ecglish hare likewise abandoned the Isle of Sckoveen, whirl, is one of those of Zealand.— Reports vary much with respect to their intentions Motive to Flushing. According to some, they propose to chock up the basin, mild destroy the public establishments; according to others, •n the contrary, they are fortifying' the city, with a design to maintain themselves there. Soine accounts state, that from the dispositions maltion by the enemy, there is reason to believe that he intends even to evacuate the isle of Wel ammo. The wunt of water, sickness, and the enormous expense which the presereptiou of .thei ephemeral conquest would requirm toupees to ciiie produced this determination. The number etEn glish soldiers who are sick, is estimated at mime than the •ne-half. The Admiral, it M understood, would have held fires ; but Lord - Chatham seeing hie soldiers dying around him, and himself is dan ger, preferred returning to London. COPENHACIEN, SEPT. 16.

We this day resume our extracts from the Ger man Papers to the 23d last. One of tile most in teresting articles of their contents, is an address to his subject., by the Emperor of AU1171114, dated Contort), the !nth of August. If this article be ge nuine, and it is extracted from the Ilasiburik Car respeadenietr. a paper that aims at truth and indepen dence, the spirit of Austria, though beaten, was not broken, in the ',tittle of Wagrain ; and we are strengthened in the hope, encouraged by the pro tracted state of the negociation, that she will net sub mit to a dishonourable peace. The brave and loyal Tyrolese greatly aid her cause. Their insurrection spreads, and while sue arm approaches the Duoube, the other is extended to the Gulf of Venice.

This is not a combined and ex tended Administration, to the formation of winch the Gaut , . and Guttivti.t.r.s were invited. It is only a change of corners.

It is, how ever, strenuously endeaeoureil to impeach the mo tives of their c Net, so defieient in loyalty, re spect towards tbeSnvereimi. and regard for the pub lic welfare, in a crisis of diEcnlty sod danger. How far these accusations or imputations are found ed in reason and iii justice, we may best ascertain, by au appeal to fact and to precedent, sisstsineil by, as well :Is builtoe, principle. They are the only sure and Mir gentles by which we CAN form en opi nion of the measures or actions of public meth If we review the p'reselit reign, it will be found that changes in Ministry have been of two different descripti ; either mitigated, or complete. or the former, we have mill instances. In cases, where the resignation of the first Minister. (us we denominate, ia t0(11111441 language, the First Lord of the Treasury,) has taken place from any private and personal reasons or causes, peculiar to himself, and affecting rather the Crown, than the country ; ' the King, rather than the people ; or when such u vacancy has happened br death—in such instances, the old Administration has been melted down into another, without convulsion, and without any radi. cal, or material alteration of system. Thus, early in 1770, when the Duke of Gaarrox resigned the ' Treasury, Lord Norm', who Wes Chancellor of the Exchequer undor him, succeeded to the office ; just a. Mr. PencrrAt. might now do to the Duke of POSILASD.• On the Marquis of RotitINGll•M'S demise, its July, 1792, when Lord %CLIMBS F. be came First Lind of the Treassary. only Mr. Fox, then Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord John CATS:Nunn. who was Chancellor of the Exchequer. end Lord K mist, First Lord of the Admiralty, resigned their places. The other members of the Cabinet remained. The change was only partial. In like manner, when, in the year 1801, the late Mr, PITT ; Lord Gitxxvitt.e, Lord and Lord Sentient, thought proper, upon a great pub lic measure, to give is their resignation, the !Mi nistry was transferred to Mr. A DUI N tiTOIN ; who, with the exception of that one measure, might he maid to adhere to Mr. Pitr's line of political action en ether points. Mr. Pirr's second return to office, in lell4, was marked by the saute features and chits recteristics. No essential variation of system pry. rested a poeteou of the old and of the new Cabinet , from -coalescing, and forming a new Adoruiniitra- in - ether where either series of lion. Set, „ cases, . a - unpo pular, lIIj Lola-ton/4mA ni--necesslal inerraree, or re. cograzed inability in the Cabinet, heightened by asperities mid episiert4s. hove rendered the Adminis. Latin's odious or conteinidible in the *eyes of the country ; in Al such predicaments, • total change has been the invariable result.. •kt the end of the American War, when Lord liiciitrn's ill success had irritated the nation and the Parliament, lkey., in fact, compelled the Crown to call to its air*. once new men, as well as to adopt new meavores. The change was radical and total : the Chancellor alone, Lord Tunatow, of ail the former Ministers, retaining a place in the sew Celsius% et His M a . JESTY'iI particular desire. Again. in the stlcceeib. iag year, 1783, when the Parliament, or reth.i t h e m ime o f Commons, came to two snccessire votes of censure upon the Ministers who had made the peace with France, and they were therefore compelled to resign—a iota/change ensued. Agais., is the same year, when Mr. Fox's East India Stilt incensed the whole country. and pieced Mr. Plat at the bead of His MAJIstiTY'S Council., no vesti;,a of the old Cabinet remained in the 'new Admini stration. The two last changes of Ministry a t e equally casesin point. In January, 1866, wises Mr. Parr died, the surviving nominal Members of his Cabinet, conscious of their own utter incapacity at aka time, to conduct the tuitional concerns, twin. deafly resigned thew sitnations, and recommended, to their Sovereign to call Mr. Fut. Lord Gate. •it.r.r., and Lnrd Houlcx, to his confidence. It was& eunepiete change. Su was the alteration pro duced by the Irish Catholic Sill, in 1807, when the ',traria men got tutu ewer. Diet they then et. press any readiness to do that which they aow ask of Lord GILLNVILLE and of Lord Otter, namely. to joie with, to prop, and to sustain, the preceding Administration? On the contrary, sending them• selves of a national cry, of a popular delusion. end - . . as pretended attack o I the Church of England, or, as they caUed it, the Protestant Religion, which' they well knew to be without troth or reality ; they swept every department of Government, and did the very tling which they now pretend to reprobate and to condemn. Brit on what ground do the p►e sent Members of Administration, who, on Mr. Prrr's death, three years and sight months ago. 6-11, and admitted their inability to nccupy the places of Ministers, now venture to declare diem. selves competent to retniii and exercise them ?--r Have they manifested ability in planning foreigss expeditions? Have they discovered any selection in their choice of Commanders ? Have they d.s. played economy in the expenditure of the public money, or any with to redress and to reform the most crying aboAes ? What ass teeny conduct in the course of the last Session of Parliament' Have they even abstained from drawing their swords on each other, and exhibitiog scenes the most iudeeo. rots. to the view of their countryerten and of Eu rope? Scenes, suu:h as have ticver been presented in a Cabinet h ire the Tory Ministry of Queen An when I.Grd Oxrann and Lord Bciftecielote s like Mr. CANNI%U and Lord C•dTLERCACIII, drew their swords likewise on t•nch other ! And can such men expect Lord (rext•n.t.e and Lord Gees to sit amnn; them ?—lt cannot be. We must base a total, or we must have no change of Ministry. Yesterday the dispatches for Bengal. Madras. Bombay, &e. were finally eloped at the East India House, and forwarded to Pottsmouth, to be pug nn board the Georgieita pocket, Captain Latex. Letters and papers have been received from Co. di: by a private ves.el, one day biter than those by the packet received dust week. One of the letters states., that au officer in the German Legion, act ing in Spain, whose name we avoid giving for the present, has abandoned his duty, and forfeited his honour, by going over to the enemy.
