. • keftr, hear.).-There was a ttreat deal of farce mixed with tragedy berate foie ; he would won come to mounted tragedy. Nat having 16.1.100 then in the mouth of March, of all our nnulermus mimes esii,,pap i r, it was the cud of July before the Expe dition could be reedy to sail. The Noble Lord, with Maternal fondness, would see it quit the British abates. It was s mid, that the last person he saw wet the most jelly of the Represeutetives of the Loreluth—(9 lang4.)-;:ro whom, iu the language of the bard of Calmat— " mica, he cried, cud waled his lily knot" This wormy Alderman was transported, as they required. in it most appropriate meinier, to the *came of action. He was borne in the Pluenix, with a fin e lively turtle, towards Walcheren (a faugh) to enjoy the triumphs which there awaited our arms. The Noble Lord,"the other ought. tomtit round to colophon to hint of allowing the City of London to swell the expense to 14.000,0001. hut, nut seeing juviel face, he made has complaint to one whose lice was of anotheskiud. Another Hon. Represen t Wive of the City was behind I who kissed the rod. He was also an Han. Bert.; but this would not de scribe hint, fur the City sent 110 less than three Re presentatives, all created Hon. /Linnets, for their unheard-opines-so. (A Laugh.) The army, when it did g o„ was fully completed in every thing ; the more • shame to the Noble ion! and his Colleagues, tot:cud it to a place where so many were ern en of perish. ing, end consigned to a premature mill inglorious grave. They might have saved theiii,harl they 'amid oil to the mud opinions of the officers they lc stilted, by asking in mockery for their opinions, upon which they wire p. _.determined li mi t to act. The Noble Lord dealt hardly by his witnesses, for when they gave evidence, such as - he widiett, he would have them believed ; out if they did not do that, he impeached their testimony. The Hon. Gentle man then examined the evidence laid before the Secret Committee, and contended, that knowing where the French regiments were in Dee. Noe, could be no information as to then stations in 1510. The Noble Lord, in his speech, had arid to them, to call the Freneti Emperor to his character, and hear his opinion of the Expedition. Now they could not get Bouaparte to their bar, and indeed it was very ungallant in the Noble Loral to pro pose it, just at the lime he had got is young wife. --If they asked him, he supposed the answer would be " Married, and can't come."-..(4 /a N g/i.) Of this marriage, lie would i see Irate to say, " May. the hooey-muou soma it. felicity over the earth. and aid In that pa, ification, so often offered by France to this country !" Upon these grounds, he supported the Resolutions, said thought st would be an insult to the people, whose money had been so squandered. not to as.ert the rialponsibility of Nliniaters, and punish them for their offence.— (Hear.)—lie now came to the uumixed tragedy. In viewer to the ChM, put to hire—he would not re tain the West India islands at suds au ext.-wee of ha matt lives, nor would he have !sent an massy gallant fellows to the marshes of Walcheren, at the oat unhealthy season, to perish there, for any national object, however greet. With ri spect to the diseases of the army, much had been said, but great WWI the responsibility on the part of Minis ere, and just was their reprr heusion. He called upon the House to look at the evidence of Sir Lovas Pepys; with all his esteem for that Gentleman, what could hese), ? Why, bring called to iuspect the diseases of the army, he had no region unity of staling any opinion, but what he had observed .by looking iuto hospitals, where the diseased troops were lying mound fem. What could lie leans for It certainty by that mode of exa mination ? Why, • main might es well louk into a pair of empty boots, to Ire what war the matter with the feet which wore them. The Noble Lord (Castlereagh) bilked of the &ceases of the army, as • subject of speculation. What, were the facts on all sides, roidirming the destruction our army had experienced through diocese, to he termed specu lative ? not the Third Regiment of Guards marched out of London, with the light infantry company, and, out of lie men, not one returned. Was not this the melancholy fate of many compa. Hies, and many regiments Such were the means pursto d, and such were the woeful consequence.. The whole idany was crippled, and almost wholly destroyed, and by a carp de warm. He confessed he never till now had heard so much of a romp de roans, and no explanation could be more extraor dinary than that given by the Noble Lord. Ac cording to every definition, he had understood a coup de twain ought to hr such an act, where mine.; diate skill, and prompt action, are brought sud denly to bear upou the object. The attack upon Copenheges, he supposed, would be called a reap tie main. God alone knew how far the terni would aoply, according to the meaning given by the Noble Lord. The a-scull upon Seeollitz would come under the same deunmination. Ishmael was taken by a coup de main, when Siswerrow, having seized the town, put ten thousand of his fellow creatures, in cold blood, to the sword. In the holy war of Poland, Suwarrow also ordered le thou. sand to be destroyed, mud he oimpneed that was by • ramp de male. On the _!id of January, they (the Opposition) had made an attack upon Minis. ters; and, he trusted, for the lieustit of the country, they should succeed by a easy de wain. To be sure they had not been successful iu their first at teuipt, and they had been driven from so me of th e ir erring holds. but they were MICS more making a bold ettack. and he hoped they would be driven from their situations by .t eunp-de-niain. fled the Noble Lord satiefied the Ii use with re.pect to the disseusion amongst Ministers theta t ..hes. a b ou t the police of the expedition? In the situation in which we stood ,with an &my act ruined, '0 many of our brave men lying rotting in the matches nit %Veldts.. run, so many widows and orphans mourning their woeful fate, from the centre to the extremity of the three united kingdoms, there was not a man who did not call for justice. The Right floa. Gentle. men wars. answerable, and it was for vengeance the people of England cried. He hoped the widow and the orphan would be avenged for the dead. and for the iiipiries they hail suffered through the lit. Hon. C . :cutlet-nen. The widows' hope and the nail honour. must be decided by the votes of the lions.. on this very eintSlloo.

A new Comedy, iu five acts, entitled How to Tease aa4l flute to Please, was produced at this Theatre last night. The Principal Chaiacters VlEre-- • Chador Buoyant Mr. Jew Es. Sir Timothy foueltet Mr. Mt. r. us. Samuel Dexter Mr. LiEloV. George Mason Mr YOUNG. Airs. Buoyant Mrs. C. KESILC. Lady 'ratchet ...... Mrs. H. JORN Prow. Dame Ma55a........ • Abs. Mr.. WESTON. Funey Marigold Lady Tourket is a teasing wile, married to a kind and indulgent husband ; Mr. Buoyant, on the contrary, is an extravagant libertine, married to an amiable wife. The piece is carried on iu a series of conjugal and domestic scenes between these two couple, contrasted with each other. They are tedious ai.d uniform. They want incident and variety; hut they also afford snme good moral sen timent and good writing. Fanny Marigold is a counterpart of Cice7 . 9 Huwespura. and bring played by Mrs. Glass, the want of originality is the more obvious. The part intended for comic relief is that of Same/ Dexter. Through the whole of the piece, the author rests much UpOli eguivoque ; but, in this character, he is particularly succe,.siul. Sa muel Dexter, although intioduced as the relative of persons in high tile, was originally a bellman, and the author rings the dining,. upon his profession iu a very good tune. In the tirst acts, in the scene where Buoyant gives a bank-note to Fanny Mari gold, and she says, it this is nut money," the obser vation excited an enthusiasm of applause ; and the hit against gentlemen farmers, also, told well. Bat, towards the conclusion of the piece, there appeared a strong party against the play. It certainly wants incident, bustle and variety ; but, u it is greatly too long, there is stuff and tubstance enough to make; with a judicious compression, a very fair play. Mr*. C. - Miming and Mrs. H. Jour:omit did all possible justice to their respective parts. Mr. MUNDEWS is not suited to him; and thatlof Mr. Jo N ES, a had husband, and unfeeling libertine, presents itself with great disadvantages. He did, however, every possible justice to the part. It could not hate been better played. The Epilogue, which was spoken by Mrs. H. Joitestott, dwells upon the prevailing taste of the Ladies for making shoes. It was well spoken; but the allusions to the cobbler's shop were too low for the subject. The house was craw ded iu every part. ANCIENT MUSIC.
