said on the effeett. of the Lottery, he stated it to be his opinion, that the evil did not originate there, as was supposed. The evil formerly felt and com plained of as arising from Lotteries, had, he thought, been in a great measure done away within the last t wo or three years, by the arrangement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. M. MONTAGU replied to some of the re marks of the Right Honourable Gentleman oppo site (Mr. Sheridan.) He had asked the Right Hon. Secretary, if he had made one single inquiry into the state of the Police, and if he had not negleated his duty ? If the Right Honourable Gentleman had beard the speech of •his Right Honourable Friend, he would have known that he had made inquiries into the state of the Police, and that he had not neglealed his duty. He would not say the state ments made by the Right Hon. Gentleman were un true, because it was not parliamentary. It would be to perfer a charge of too solemn a nature, to say they were false; but he could not admit them to• be quite correct. He repeatedly declared he had no idea of the motive which could have in duced the Right Hon. Gentleman to make such assertions. Mr. SUERIDAN in explanation said, the I-lon. Gentleman was certainly entitled to his thanks for not declaring that which he had advanced to be untrue, because that was rift parliamentary. He (the last Sreaker) had to declare what he (Mr. S.) bad advanced was false; this would have too much of sol.-rnnity in it ; for his part, he must say that such a declaration from that Hon. Gentleman would have had in it a degree of vivacity which he had never expeaed from him. He had no private pique against the Right Hon. Secretary, on the contrary, he had a great personal respea for him. The Hon. Gentleman had, however, no idea of the motive by which he (Mr. S.) was actuated, in making those statements which, he had thought proper to offer. This he had repeated six times. He would tell the Hon. Gentleman what motive he bad. - His motive was to discharge a public duty, and if the Hon. Gentleman, as a Member of Parliament, knew no thing of such a motive, he was very sorry for it. The question was then put and carried, and the Jollowing Members were named to form the Com mittee - - Mr. Ryder Mr. Tierney Sir C.

As the melancholy fate which recently attended some of our men of war has deeply impressed the public mind, we are anxious to submit to our readers whatever may throw a light upon the mournful subject. As to the Hero, Mr. YORKE said, in the House of Commons, last night, that it was the victim of one of those erroneous calcu lations iri navigation which are unavoidable in dan gerous seas, and during severe weather. The Of ficers on board that ship conceived, it appears, that they were close to the British coast at the very time when they struck on that of France, and they were lost under circumstances much the same as the Minotaur last )ear. Mr. YORKE proceeded to state, that there was a difference in the unfortunate case of the St. George and the 4efence. Orders had been given to the Admiral in the Baltic not to retard the last convoy homeward bound, on any account, later than the Ist of November ; but he had a discretionary power to come away sooner, if there should be occasion. Admiral REYNOLDS sailed accordingly from Hano on the Ist of No vember, but was obliged by gales to put back three times, and he finally was not able to leave that an chorage before the middle of November. On the 15th, when in the Belt, the convoy met another heavy gale of wind, in which a large merchant ship near brol:e from her anchors, and unhappily 'fell athwart the St. George, which, by this accident, was driven ashore, and lost her rudder, and was forced to cut away her masts. By great exertions, however, she was saved, and carried to Wing() Sound, where she was refitted as well as circuit). stances would admit, and had jury-masts set up ; after which, in the opinion of the Officers, she was quite capable of the voyage home. Had it been otherwise, the Admiral would have shifted his flag, and would even have been justified in destroying the ship, and conveying her crew in others to England. Two ships of the line, the Cressy and Defence, were appointed to attend the St. George, and they all sailed 00 the 17th December, having till then been detained by con trary winds, and had cleared the SleeVe, when, un happily, a tremendous gale of wind came on from an unfavourable point, and on the morning of the 24th the lamentable catastrophe of the St. George and Defence occurred, the Cressy having, with great difficulty, escaped a similar fate. Nothing Could be more honourable to the feelings of Mr. YottKE than the manner in which he made these statements. He was evidently deeply im pressed With the melancholy events, the causes of which he had so clearly explained ; and we deem it a dots , to ascribe to the real ground, viz. in strong impulse of humanity, and feelings of regret for the loss of so many of our gallant defenders, not to any misfortune of a domestic nature, as stated in some of the public prints. Mr. WHITBREAD ex pressed his entire satisfaction at the answer which had been given by the Honourable Gen tleman, and was glad that he had touched upon the subject, as amidst so heavy a loss it was at least some consolation to reflect, that no censure was imputable any where, but that theca- lamity, great as it was, was the inevitable effect of misfortune, and misfortune alone. He paid a very liberal compliment to Mr. Yonxx on the sensibility which he had shewn on the occasion, declaring, that he fully sympathized with him in all the ,etno tions which so great a national misfortune, in. the loss of so many of our brave defenders, could not but universally excite. Our Readers will see, by a reference to our Par liamentary Report, that an interesting discussion took place yesterday in the House of Commons, re speaing the state of the Police, and that a Com mlttee was-appointed to inquire into the subjea. Lerters have been teceived from the Dutch coast, which stale, that BUONAPARTE has granted some li censes, for the importation of sugar and coffee, to ve,sels exporting cargoes consisting chiefly of wine. We understand, that the Magistrates have ob tained further information re:pthing the late murders. In the meantitne, Aldbhiss and Hart, remain in close custody, and are strictly watched. A person of the name of Harris was examined yes terday ; but the statement in a Morning Paper re specting Mrs. Vet milloe is not correct. We take.the earliest opportunity of contradicting a paragraph which appeared in our Paper of last even ing, stating 'that a Banker of respectability had put an end to his existence, no such event having taken place. OLD BAILEY.—This morning, • at ten o'clock, Mr. B. Walsh, M. P. was put to the Bar, ac cused of defrauding Sir THOMAS PLVMEII, tts afready detailed in all the Newspapers. Mr.WALsn pleaded Not Guilty, and the trial commenced. Mr. GARROW stated the case for the piosecution, and Sir THOMAS PLOMER was then called, and ga%e his evidence at great length. He was under cioss-ex • amitiation by Mr. SCARLET, the prisoner's Cann el, %viten our paper was put to press. LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1812. The following account of the victory obtained over the Turks was published in the Petersburgh Ga zetle_ol the 9th of December " ST. PETERSEURGII, DEC. 9.20, 181 1 .--The Commander in Chief of The Moldavian ariny, Count G. KUTUSOW, reports, that ,on the e6th of Novem ber, the army of the Grand Vizier was surrounded by our troops on the left side of the Danube, and thereupon they delivered up their arms to the Rus si'an troops, and surrendered tbeafselves prisoners of var. Their Chief, the three-tailed Bashaw, CfIE• nAN OoLou, and all his Officers, are included in the niambcr. All their artillery,, consisting of 56 pieces of cannon, togethel with the rest of their, arms, were alO given up to the conquerors. This army has lost in different attacks, in killed and wounded, upwards of 19,000 men. " .Qn first crossing the Danube, it consisted of 35,000 st.ita troop, amongst which number were incorporated the whole of the Janissaries belonging tQ.the TUrkish army."

We yesterday mentioned the arrest of thf.- French General StmON ; he was taken in a coal-hole, in Pratt-street, Camden Town. It is stated that it was through a correspondence of his with the French Government shut a French Officer, who had 'can duaed himself with terle6t honour in this kingdom; and was allowed to return to his country, was seized immediately on his arrival at Morlaix, and shot.--- His sole offence, we hear, was, that he expressed himself ashamed of the manner in which many French Officers had violated their parole of honour and these expressions were conveyed to BuoNA ?ARM, who ordered him to be shot instantly ! The following shocking statement is contained in a letter from Congleton, in Cheshire: there ara„ however, some circumstances in the story which mike us entertain considerable doubts as to its truth : " Six miscreants called at a firm-house one even ing this week, and requested refreshment, being be nighted, and also to be furniShed with beds,Btc.whicii they would pay for. Their appearance was respect able, and the farmer's wife, in the.absence husband, offered them accommodation — in - a wattu barn, which was accepted. The mistress' sent the servant-maid with blankets into the barn; soon after which she heard her 'groans, and, alarmed for her own safety, 'she concealed herself under a largti tub in the house, leaving an infant child sleeping in a cradle. The assassins returned to the house; and lamented that the woman had escaped, when they immediately cut the throat of the child. The mistress of the house had heard the assasins say, they would meet at a certain public-house at a cer tain hour, and there the husband, oir hi; return home, departed for and secured them. The servant was found murdered in the barn." DARING ATTEMPT AT EGETIERY.-011 ThilrSjSy evening, early, a fellow, well dressed, about li;e t r et eight or nine inches high, dark complexion, with black eyes, with a sort of Hussar plaid mantle, as worn by Officers, and termed a roncillo, knocked at the door of Mr. Sidney, a Gentleman of fortune, No. g, Percy-street, Tottenham-court Road, and af feaed to have particular business with Mr. Sidney, who, he was told, Wai not at home. The ser,atit had gone on an errand, and there was no of e in t! e house but a young 'Lady', who had answered the prisoner with the chain upon the door. The offender affeaed to be much disappointed at the absence of Mr. Sidney, and he dropped a letter within the door at the same time; and the young Lady from, the robber's address and appearance, was strnci: that be might have brought tidings from Poitegal, Mr. S. hay.iog recently heard of the loss of a son there, an. Officer in the 43d regiment, she opened the door, - Nylon the thief was shewn Ito a - parlour, where ink and Paper were furnished him. When affeciing to begin' to write, he suddenly started out of his , chair, and presented a something, supposed to be pistol, at the young Lady, and demand co usely to know where money was to be found, The young . Lady begged for her life, and sheaved the robber Mr. Sidney's writing-desk, which contained Bank-notes and papers. The door was open at this time, and th!young Lady requested she might be permitted to - shCt it, and when affecting to do so she rushed out at the street door, where shri saw another fel. short in stature, with a drab great coat, wait ing in the street. She alarmed Mr. Ewell, a next• door neighbour, but when they returned with as— sistance to the house, the thief h2d escaped through the garret window, and although be was seen at ti e top of the houses, he eluded pursuit, and got off without obtaining any booty. sugar. Put in, having carded away her top-mast, the galhot Maria, T. JONES master, bound to Oporto, from Liverpool. By a letter received from Dover, a dreadful ac cident is stated to have happened on the 6th inst.— The Cordelia sloop of war being in want of coals, &c. Mr. Robert Harvey, Purser, with the boat's crew, were sent on shore (or the above articles. On returning to the ship the boat upset, when Mr. Robt. Harvey and one of the seamen were drowned, leav ing behind him a widow to lament his loss, He was a man of unimpeachable character, and universally beloved. The Huntingdonshire Militia arrived in the Bay of Dublin, on the 18th ult. after a tedious and dif ficult passage from Woolwich (their former gnarters) and disembarked on the 20th, on their route for Kilbeg g an barracks, where they are now stationed.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—We lament to say, that a footman of Mr. W. CAVENDISH, the Member, for Derby, arrived in town yesterday morning, by the mail, with the melancholy tidings of the premature death of his worthy master, by a dreadful accident. The lion. Member was on a visit to his father, Lord GEO. CAVENDISH ) at his seat at Ho:ker Hall, near Cartmel; over the Lancaster Sands, where the Noble - Lord and his family generally are at this time of the year. Last Tuesday Mr. Wm. CAVENDISH was out taking the diversion of shooting wild ducks, accompanied. by Mr. SMITH, his tutor, when at college, and his brother CHARLES, 3 youth about eighteen years of age. About tour o'clock they all three got into a gig, or buggy, in the vark, Mr. CHARLES CAVENDISH taking the reins. They had proceeded but a very short way, when the reins by some accident broke, and the horse ran away, and Mr. Wm. CAVENDISH was thrown out, and pitched on his head. It is suspetled he received a kick 611 his head from the horse; but whether that was the cause or not, he never spoke any more.
