'Mr. BENNE.T, though he objeat-d to the grant, justice to the merits of Colonel rMahon. The CHANCELLOR .of the EXcHEQUER answered Bank aril also a, few observations made" by Mr. Whitbread ,ri Mr. Tierney. Mr G. JOHNSTON aud Mr..ELLror. opposed the appoint ment. General FERGUSON stated, that a regiment in Gnernsey had been recruited by 147 persOns from tize hulk.s. Mr. RYDER admitted, that at the recommenda tion of Mr. Graham, some persons condemned for small offences o the hulks, and who had conducted themselves with propriety since, had been taken into the military seplice - with a view- to render them useful to the country. The step had met the c:incurrence of the ir:ostexperienced persons. After a fe. obser%a:ions from Mr. Wynne, Lord Temple," Lord Pahnerstone, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Long, most of the Resolutions '.vere agreed to. On the Resoiution for granting 61,0001. for 'Widows' Pensions, Mr.,BANics moved as an Amend ment, to omit the 20001. to Colonel AP.Mahon for the Paymastership, and thus to make the sum 59,0001.

I, 0 N D 0 N , 51TUI:1) IY, FEBRUARY 22, 1812. The statement made by Mr. GALLATIN to Con gress, respecting the state of the American Finances, must, we should think, proclUce a strong effe& in America. The violent French Party, %vita , are" so anxious to force on a war with Great Britain, in opposition to justice as well as policy, will not, we know, be indoCed to abandon their..objea ; the in jundions of BbNAPARTE will be obeyed 13Y — the - in; even at the expense of American honour and'Ame rican interests. But the people of America, in ge neral, we should think, would patine before they plunged into a contest,- to, v.liek_Oey are so un equal, and whiCh must subjea them to so 'Many privations, and such heavy burthens. Mr. GALLATIN confesses, that their revenues are by no means equal to their pace establishment; and that therefore, even it a war should not take place, a large loan will be necessary. In the - event, however, of a war, a . loan of not less than 40,000,000 of dollars will be necessary. The money to pay the. interest of this loan must . also be borrowed,. for the Reventfe, dequate as., it is at present, Would be almost annihilated in the event of a war. The cor respondence; however, between Mr. FOSTER and Mr. MuNnon, seems t') prove, unequiVocally that theA.mericau Government is . determined to re jea all friendly explanation with Great Britain ; in deed, the PRESIDENT and Mr. MUNROE seem to lose their tempets, because they have the worst of the argument, and their dispoiition to quarrel: with 'Great Britain seems to increase exa6lly in propor tion to the proof that is offered to them that they have no cause of complaint. Since we wrote the above, we find that Govern ment ha%;e received dispatches from America, which indicate a more host it tendency than there was rea son to expect, on other grounds. • We are happy to say that the appieherlsions *bleb were entertained for the safety of the Surveil .. lante frigate are unfounded; that vessel arrived on Thursday evening at Plymouth. The Public, we are sure, will peruse with idea sure the report of the Proceeclings.in ihe House of Coinmons last ni , ht upon the PRINCE REGRNT'B Message respecting Lord WELLINGTON: Gentle*- men on both sides of the House, and of the most o;:pOsite politkt.il sentiments, concurred is bear lestirtiony to the transceridant merits ot I!h cnm i rnander. Sir FRANCIS Bun- DIZTT stood alone in his .opposition to the pro posed grant ; but •we regret his hostility to the ',notion the less, as it led to the eloquent reply of Mr. CANNING, to which we beg to call the at tention of our Readers. It appeared from that Right Hon. Gentleman's statement that Lard WEL LINGTON'S magnanimity and disinterestedness are equal to his • military talents. The gratitude of our Allies in the Peninsula induced them to offer to his Lordship income of not less than 15,0001. a year, which he nobly declined, saying, that he had merely performed his duty, and that be looked only to his own country for any reward to which his ser vices might be entitled. WINDSOR, FEB, 1 .—Yestrday the children_ of the QUEEN'S school walked in procession froat the school-house io Peascod-street,ir. their new clothes, to Mi3S HEN LEY'i, is Park-hill," their Sub-Go. verness. • The QUEEN, Princesses ELIZA RETII, MARY, and S , ,PI-11A, walked trout the Castle - to the house, where they were received by Miss . HEN- . LEY. The children afterwards partook ol a dinner of roast beef, plumb-pudding, and ale, The Royal: Party were attended by the Marchioness of BATH,' Lady 3. TIIYNNE, Lady G. MURRAY, and Major Puce: 'Yesterday she Duke of YORK and Mr. PERcEWAL had audiences of the YEINCE REGENT at Carlwti Yesteiday afternoon 'Lord MULGRAVE and Mr: RYDER had interviews with Mr. PERCBVAL, at his house in Downing-street. Yesterday the Duke of Yort'K held a Military Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by,,the Marquis of Hu NTLY; Sir Gan PREY WaBSTER, and a number of others. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of-YORK entertained at a dinner party .his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, and the Duke of CAM. BRIDGE. Among the company present were— Lady DE CLIFFORD, . Earl of YARMOUTH, Mr. SHERIDAN, Mr. and Lady ANN CULLKN SMITH, with the Misses FITZROYS ; Colonel BLOOMFIELD, Cal.t. UPTON,. Earl - of TYRCONNEL, and - Mr. Chan cellor ADAM. In the evening their -Royal Higti nesses had a ratbical party, at which various remem bers of their respeeiive families weie invited. Music.—The VOCAL CONCERT, under the .di rectton of Messrs. 'HARRISON, BARTLEMAN, and GREATOREX • conmienced for 'the season last night, .4 the Hanover-square Rooms. • From,. the com bined efforts of cacti able performers, and tie musi cal corps, vocal and instrumental, which they have, engaged, a fine harmonic repast as, of course, to be expected, and the expectation of the company tt as abundantly gratified. The compositions were selected frcm the best Mastera of a former day, as . W:11 as from contemporary 'musicians, and the whole was arranged with an agreeable diversity of ,effect. The Band was led by WEICHSELL, and the Orchestra. was amply supplied by the best per_ formers on their respective instruments. " The Soldier's Dream," arr interesting song, written by Mr. CAMPBELL, Author , of The Pleasqres of Rope, and other works of distinguished merit, and set with appropriate skill by ATwooD, afforded full scope for that elegant and interesting expression whith invariably characterises the vocal exertions of HARRISON. BARTLEM'AN; who has long been pre vented by severe indisposition from appearing in public, last night resumed his station. He bore marks of his illness in his looks, ,but his voice was in full .perfectiOn, and we never- heard him sing with more energy, and in' a more masterly style, than - he gave to " Ye twice ten hundred Deities," trom PURCELL. It was very gratifying to notice the cordial manner in which this able Musician and_ very respectable man was received on his entrance, and on his departure, which his exertions rendered necessary some time before the conclusion of the Concert., CATALANI was evidently much indis posed, but she exerted herself very ably ; she was, however, unable to sing " The Horse and his. Rider," - which was given with good effect by Mrs. BIANCHI LACY. Miss DARBY, a very promising young Performer, acquitted herself very well in' an Air of CIMAROSA. The only encore of the.evening was ". Hari: ! my Daridcar," froth " rl'yrannic Love," composed by PuttcELL ; but the excellent manner in. which all the pieces were given nearly produced the same effect. The Duke of CUMBER.! LAND, and a very numerous and_elegant company were present. Tug - ORATORIO.--A grand selenion 9f sacred music was given last night at Covent Garden, Theatre. Nothing could be more suitably express-, ed. than " Gentle Airs" by ,BaanAst, and the ac coriti)animent"of CRARLES ASHLEY'S violoncello; gieatly heightened the treat. CATALAst, who had a double duty to perform, at HARRISON'S Concert, and in this entertainment, was so much fatigued, that, an apOlogy wos deemed necessary ; Mrs. ntcs.oNs, Mrs. BLAND, and indeed all the vocal corps acquitted themselves ably. We ought to have noticed belore, Master BOYLE, who, on Wednes day sung—" 0 magnify the Lord,"—and who re peated I-hat air last night. He has a powerful voice, and &egg with judgment unusual at his'early period. He is likely to makea,distinkuished figure in the musical world. The whole went off with great eclat, and the warm applause of a numerous au dience. The illness which detained Mrs. SIDDONs t at was not of so serious a nature as has been represent ed. It was a-cold and hoarseness, which fora day or two prevented her performing,, but was not 'ac companied by any alai ming symptoms. • The report that Mr. KEMBLE is going to Anie pica, is without foundation. He has aCtually bitti otfered, as we stated, very . flattering terms, such. indeed as would enable him to obtain. as many thousandS in the course of a twelvemonth as he is likely to receive bundreds•during the same period at Covent-garden Theatre ; but lie is wise:; content with moderate adventageg, and the cornfortal4 se curity of Old England. • NAVAL NEWS PLYMOUTH, FEB., 20.—A sloop belonging to this Port, bound to Ireland, got under weigh this morning from Sutton Pool, and came to ainchor un der the G,irrison ; soon after 'she drifted ashore, but was got off again without much damage.

Giws, from New-York, after a very .short passage of 20 days, with a valuable cargo of colonial produce, bound, to Bourdeaux : she biought American Papers to the Ist of February, which state, that at a late meeting of Congress a Bill passed for raising 75,000 troops. HALF PAST FIVE o'cLocK.—We are extremely happy to announces the safe arrival at this port of his Majesty's ship Surveillance, of 38 guns, cdm 14indt.d by Sir G. R. COLLIER, Bart. ,For • many days past, greatdoubts have been entertained for the safety of this ship, as it was reported that she had, during a storm, been driven aground under the bat teries at St. Sbastian, and taken possession of by the, enemy. PoRTSNIOUTU, FEB. 21.—Arri ved the Boyne, Rear' Admitit Sir HARRY BUR RARD NEALE; - from BaSque Roads. 'Rear Admiral - Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLERC, in the Hannibal, is going -out to take the command off this station ; also arrived the Venerable and Theban at Spithead fr;; : m off Cherburgh ; 'and the Bacchante and Darink from the Downs. • Sailed the Jason and Theban ; also the Severn for the Downs, and the Cressy for Basque Roads. DEAL, . FEB. 2 t .—His Majesty's frigate Pyramus, of 38 guns, Capt. DASH WOOD, sailed hence this morning for the B.►ltic, to take the command of a strong squadron of men of war, destined to the sup port and defence of the Island of Anholt, which is menaced with an attack-by the Danes. The wind being fair, and a fine breeze, the Pyramus will be but a few hours reaching her destination. The East India ship Bengal is just come down from the Rilier, and remains, with , a large fleet of outward-bound. • The Lady Carrington East Indianian, and several more, did not put back yesterciciy. It was the Georgiana that came down froM the River yesterday for the South Seas, and not the Baroness Longueville. YARMOUTH, FEB. E—Arrived the King George cutter from the southward. Sailed the Cruizer for the Baltic. SHEERNESS, FEB. 2 1 .—Sailed his Majesty's ship Meneluus for Heligoland. The ordnance store-ships, which lately returned from a secret servicein the , Baltic, are now at Spit head,. destined for Gibraltar, where their cargoes - are to form a depot for the service of the southern provinces-of Spain: This is an excellent arrange ment ; for our facility 'of sea 7 transpoit enables us thus to supply our own armies, and those of onr allies, with stores at all points, vdthout running the risk of their falling into the hands of the enemy in case of a ,reverse, which they most probably would, if Our magazines were established in inse cure situations. ANnoLT.--It has recently been stated in all the communications from that Island, that,the Dancs meditated another attack upon Anil°lt ; and al though we have little fears of the issue of the enter prize, from what has been al - ready effecled by the brave garrison, we are glad to find that Govern ment are alive to the danger, and have made pro vision for the etfeetual defence and. security of this very important station. The following ships of war have already set sail, viz. Daphne, of. 22 guns; Raleigh, of 18 guns; Plover, of 18 guns; kly, of 18 - guns ; and• Shyldrake, of 16 guns. The Pyra:. mus frigate, of 36 guns, which sailed from Ports mouth,yesterday;ls ordered for the same destination. It is stated in a letter from New Yolk, that a Sranish fleet of transports, with 7000 troops, wider convoy of a 74 and A gun-brig, from Cadiz, bound to La Vera Cruz, •had put into the harbour of Oa vannah for provision•and water. This number of troops, we believe, is'greatly over-rated. • LONDON : Primed by 'I HONIAS I , ‘ 001), of No. js, ,Mai..ico 7 l4ne, Covent-garde:it:and Publish;(lby Wll LIAM ARMIGEIk SCRIPI'S, South N.l At the Sort Chlicl3,• No, Itq,: Strand, where Advertisements, Orders tur thu Paper, ketters for the Editor, Ozc, (post—paiu PG E TR Y.
