SULEM QVIS DIOEKE PALSUM AVDIL4T LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 182 g. The Public Service, during the.last war, hay iug been exposed to inconvenience from an un foreseen difficulty in obtaining a sufficient HUM ber of Surgeons for the Army, Government is taking the requisite measures for preventing the recurrence of so serious on evil, in that comes .Y‘vtlicit Great Britain may be so soon called ou to sustain. With this view, Circulars have been addressed to all the Army Surgeons, requir ing each of them to make an , immediate return of his fitness or unfitness to go upon liii mediate service. This is the first important step of a warlike nature that has been taken with re *pea to the Military force of the country, since the agitation of the Spanish 'question. Naval preparations have beeu for some, time going on with great vigour. The information which we now communicate to the Public is authentic. The Journal du Commerce, and the Courier Franials have been put under prosecution. for publishing, as the speech of M. those monstrous avowals'of the conduct of the French Government towards Spain, which have been so severely and indignantly reprobated by ;the public voice throughout E u r o p e . O n the first 'appeara nce in this country of the statements in 'ouestiou,we said that we could scarcely credit that :France had been guilty of tlu atrocious perfidy, de VILLELE was alleged to have ac. 'kuowledged. We ought rather to have said, perhaps, that we could scarcely believe that M.' de VILLELE bad had the effrontery to praclaim his own infamy and that of his Colleagues ; for 'there can-be very little doubt, whether the truth • hat been acknowledged by M. de VILLELE or not, that the commotion* in Spain have really been in a great measure the work of France, and, that those cortnnetions must have been lung since ,quelled, but for the .encouragement and assist- dance afforded' to the insurgents by the French .Governinent. -However, there is so Much of ltd. turpitude in the unnecessary and, dis ,gusting eagerness with which M. de VILLELE :-was represented as having ; 414ried in his own J)alieneas and perfidy, that we shall rejoice at his .Complete exculpation from the language that has :been attributed to him.

We still think that •if there : _hatl been no foundation whatever for the oirensive statements, they would have been at otfce denied and indig nantly reprobated by the Minister and his friends, and particularly by the War Journals, which are se-deeply Interested In asserting tht, honour apd integrity of the present, French t i Cabinet. ' We had not roomleiter4ay,for a remark on the servile .AddieSl4of4the , 'French Chamber of Deputies, , whiOr - sie are now desirous of sub mitting t? , our .Readers. The Chamber says that it . Is eager" to deliver from the yoke of oppression,' a magnanimous people, who assisted us to burst our ownfetters, and whocan only ricelveftOm their legi timate . Sovereigninstitutions," &c. &c.!!—What, then, the - Chamber allows that it, is to the "people, and not to the " legitimate Sovereign," of S:zain,. that France is indebted for her . emancipation_ from the yoke of . BUONAPARTE! And yet, this very French Chamber,raainingllie benefits which . it has received, in common with all France, from. the people of Spit' in, will not allow the Spanish pro.' pie to enjoy thepolitical advantages which they have conquered for themselves • by their own heroism ! ! ! We have never witnessed any thing equal to. this instance of combined baseness and ingrati , ' tude. Why does not the Chamber of Deputies resolve on the•re-establishmeut of the dynasty of BUONAPARTE, on the ground that the French do not owe their ,liberation to the. puissance of their legitimate Kiug, but to the invincible courage of the Spanish nation. NAPOLEON IL ought to ,be forthwith proclaimed, in order that. ,the BOURBONS may even yet have the sole glory of driving him, by their divine influence, • from the Throne ,of ST. Louis, and of giving to that _France which they are doubtlesq competent to rescue from a second military thraldom, those institutions which in their wisdom they may think most conformable to its wants, and which France can• only hold from them ! !

Great Britain, even without abandoning her neutrality, may render a most important service to the cause of Spain, by sending a large British military force to Portugal, There, the presence of au English army would effectually counteract any disposition to insurrection which may have been fomented by foreign influence ; and the Portuguese Government, being relieved from disquietude at home, 'would be enabled to afford such succours to Spain as circumstances may re quire. The. British, troops, too, would be ready to enter and support Spain, in case of emergency. Bayonne Papers to the 7th instant came to hand this morning. They mention that the re mainder of the French Legation arrived there that day from Madrid, and that preparations fur war daily increase. The first column of the troops which are on their march from the interior are expected there by the 17th ; they will arrive suc cessively till the.2oth next month. This new re inforceinea is estimated at 15,000, independent of 10 or 12,000 already in the' Country ; every thing assumes a hostile appearance. Accounts from the frontiers of Spain mention the effects which the KING'S Speech had produced there. The Serviles impatiently expect the entrance of the French troops, and the Constitutionalists are preparing to fortify Pampeluna and St. Sebas. tiami ; in the event of itti attack, the latter place is not expected to hold out lung. Several French vessels in that port, which were lading for different parts of Spain„ four of which were fur Madrid, have relauded their goods and deferred their voyages. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK .ECC}IANU e , iiittAp4l TweiVe • O'CloCk.— For a long time there has not been so great a confusion in the above Market as this morning ; the moment the Market opened, Consols were done at 741 to I, immediately after a great panic ensued, both in Consols and Spanish Bonds, in consequence of which, Consols were done at 74.-74 4-73 i—got up again to 73i 'But in the Spanish Bonds the depression was of greater magnitude ; they opened at 34,36, 34, 34, 331, went up again to 342 at which price they are up to this hour. The cause of the above fluctua. tions is not as yet exactly known. In the early part of the morning nothing could be sold in Spanish. Various reports are afloat this morning, the first was, that a column of French troops bad entered the Pyrenees, and blockaded the fort of Urge! ; secand,:a very great failure at Paris ; third, an expected failure of a great lonhe in Spanish Securities ; fourth, that the Spaniitt Government had draw bills an a house lin London, on accnunt'of the new Spanish Loan, • ivhich were refused acceptance; " fifth, that press warrants were expected to be issued immediately. But all the, above reports may be construed into one, by the current report of some elltinsive failure being on th e eve of taking place.

CiEORGEAMPIVN, Dtc. 28, 1822. _extract of Letter from our Correspondent at Iffithbytton, dated Derembei 18. . Mr. FLoio has introduced a Bill to establish a Colony, at the mouth of the Columbia River On the Pacific Ocean,.. The discussion' of it Is postponed to the 2nd Mon day in January. The Bill provides for a force of 900 men — a Governor at a salary of 3,000 dollars, and a Secretary at 2,000 dollars The objects are, first the military occupation of ,that part of the territory to which Russia has let up a claim; and a harbour for our merchantmen and ships of war cruising in the Pacific Ocean, At`pFesent, they are entirely indebted to the. • courtesy of Spain for. a port of refreshment and refuge. Those engaged in whaling, in the catching of seals, and in the fur ,trade, are much interested in it. Government is disposed to' layout these pursuits, not so much on account of their . profits, as ' that they are nurseries of teainen. Some gentlemen entertain great objections to the Bill. They consider,. that it may involve us in a war with Russia': that it is not ourpolicy to establish colonies; and that we ought not to create distant drains to our population. • THE Kimo.—(Brighton, Feb. 1 2.)-11is MA JESTY, we have the high gratification to state, continues' hourly to improve in health. His MAJESTY'S illness here is now regarded as a cir cumstance past, and all anxiety, in the happy certainty H of his recovery, has vanished. in the, pleasure of this feeling, the inquiries at the Palace in number, to-day, have comparatively been but few. The. Duke of roalc took an airing in his pri vate carriage yesterday. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a 'Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which sat about two hours. The Spanish Minister transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday for a considerable time. Yesterday morning Mr. VANSITTART and Mr. BATJIURST left town for Brighton, on a visit to the KIND. The elevation of Mr. VANSITTART to the Peerage, by the title of Baron BEXLEY, of Ilexley, will shortly be officially announced. Mr. COURTENAY, we find, is not yet, as stated, sworn into office as one of the Barons of the Exchequer. fi Captain GODFREY arrived yesterday at the Admiralty, with most important dispatches from Sir CHAS. ROWLEY at Jamaica, copies of which were immediately forwarded to the KING and his Majesty's Ministers. A private letter from Madrid says, the British Ambassador gives the most brilliant Soirees. All parties are invited. The greatest courtesy' is shewti.hy Sir WILLIAM ATOIIRT and his Ludy to the most distinguished patriots. Letters from Leipzig, dated the 26th ultimo, state, that the active exertions of Messrs. Tit Et). ctrAR and SON (Greek merchants in that city),on behalf of their destitute countrynian at Odessa and the neighbourhood, had been attended with the happiest effect ; ñ large subscription had been raised. At Dresden many individuals had given from dollars 100 to dollars 150, i. e. from 15/, to 22/. 10s. sterling. It is mentioned in Letters from Copenhagen, dated the 28th ult, that a great mercantile firm in that City was about to undertake a speculation direct to Greece& Corn of , all descriptions maintained its price in the Danish Capital, but there was otherwise a great dulness in trade. We regret to state that an eminent house at Frankfort, in the manufacturing line, has sus pended its payments for 700 : 000 florins, about 70,0001. sterling. We are sorry to announce the death of the Right Hon. Dowager Lady I.II.FORD, which took place at Clifton a few days ago. We have seldom had a more painful duty to perform than we have this day in , recording the death of Lady EDWARD SOMEnsET,•WiIe of Lord EDWAII'D SOMERSET, one of the Members for Gloucestershire, who died on Tuesday last.— (Chelteithum Chronicle.) A Letter from Newcastle-upon. Tyne, dated Wednesday the 11th inst. says---“ A fire broke out this morning at three o'clock in the large White Lead Manufactory of Messrs. LOCKE:, BLACKETT, and CO. in that town ; luckily it , was got under without much damage. But for the promptitude and active exertions of the fire-men the consegnences might have been very serious. The property is insured in the Newcastle-upon- Tyne Insurance °lice. The fire was no doubt altogether accidental." BY a return of coals imported Into the Port of London, and delivered in the ear 1822, it appears that the total quantity was 1,199,511 chaldrons. THE. GUN TRADS.—Consittemble orders are received in this town for arms from Portugal ; but we understand that the manufacturers have some fear of not being able , to execute them, in consequence of a demand made by the works men for advance of wages. • 'there is also some apprehension, that great part of the orders will find their way to Germany, espedially if the workmen persevere in their attempts at high wages. Lists of prices have been sent for by agents to meet the foreign merchants at the till. ferent pprts : the necessity, therefore, of a goad understanding between , the manufacturers and the workmen will easily be seep by all parties.' — (DirviinghaPr ) Fe. 6. 19 ' ) I FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT. E. S. - - After:the preamble, which sets forth that " in conveniences" have arisen from the existing Act, Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S Bill provides.-- That the provision respecting the oath to be made, before taking out license be repealed. That no marriage be solemnized (except by special license) until the party shall make affidavit as to the age, &c. in pre sence of the Minister; if under age, &c. consent to be given as required by the Act.

As the property which once was subject to these burth ens has , ; you will allow , been somewhat reduced, particularly in I re l an d, you must admit it but fair, that before the Church is called on - to submit to this decision again, its pivperty should be placed on the same footing on which it stood when the partition existed.' Should this be possible, I will not undertake, as you and Si r John Newport have done, to an sw e r f or the whole body of the 1 Church, but I will say, es an individual incumbent, that I will readily yieldto the old arrangement--1 will go further, and pro pose, that if you can, by an Act of Parliament, or any private arrangement with my parishioners, put me into the receipt of that income to which I would be entitled by law, if I was now paid as I would have been when the division alluded to existed, not only consent to a fear-fold, but I will readily agree to a five-fold division of my income. One-fifth I shall be quite contented with for my private use ; two parts shall be assigned to the Churchwardens, for the use of the Poor and the repairs of the Church ; another to the Bishop of et); Diocese, and the fifth, Sir, I shall, with great gratitude give to be settled on you, and your heirs for ever, to token of the benefits you will have con !erred on me, and the poor of the Parish. And although my prese_nt income is very ver y moderate indeed, do not , Stir, tee, -haWly despise the portion winch shall fall to you. My parishioners might become alarmed were I to 'tete in round numbers what I calculate you must get by this little strait, but rest assured that you will find it a pleasing addition to your Limerick estate. If you knew, Sir, the destitute condition in which the L an dl or d s keep the majority of this Parish by their system of letting lands I am sure you would be stimulated to use every exertiati, and induced to take every means of expediting a meeeute which must bring to the poor great reli e f.
