'E r) RE PRESENTATIVES, Dec. 10. e tliotioti of Mr. PLEASANTS, it was re- solved, that the President of the United,States be requested to - cause to be laid before the House of Representatives the proceedings which have been had under the Act entitled " An Act for the gra dual Increase of the Navy of the United States," specifying the number of ships which have been put on the stocks, and of what class, and the quantity and kind of materials which have beep procured, in compliance with the pro Visions of tile said Act ; and also the sums of money which have been paid out of the fund created by said Act, and for what objects ; and. likewise the connects which have beet► enteted into in execution of the said - Act, on which monies may not yet have been advanced. FOREIGN MERCHANT SEAMEN. The House then resolved into a Committee of the whole (Mi. NELsoN in the Chair), on the Bill to authorize the Apprehension of Foreign Seamen deserting from Merchant Vessels in the Ports of the United States. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON was, as we stated yester day, presented as Speaker of the House of Com mons at the Bar of the House of Lords. to receive the Royal approbation, which was signfied, in the accustomed torm, by Lords Co , qmissioners ; the LORD PRESIDENT (d)e Earl Of HARROWBY), RS on the preceding day, delivering the formal speeches in reply to those made by the SPEAKER. • Our respect for the City of Westminster, as well as for the honour of Parliament, induces us to return to the y uhject of the ensuing Election. Tile Jacobin Faction are incessantly ,at work to procure the return of 11r. ' [Joauouse, and it the real friends of THE CONSTITUTION ate not equally active, Westminster will endure tLe disgrace of a Jacobin Representative. What a degradation will it then sutler, after having boasted of Representatives from some of the most distinguhhed families in the realm ! ! But Par liament also will be disgraced by the Representa tive of the mob, rather than of the more respect able Electors, who are supine while they ought to be most resolutely active. There was ano ther Meeting of the Jacobin Gang yesterday, at a Public-house in the purlieus of Drury-Lane; and we hardly need say more, in reprobation of its principles and objects, than that Citizen THEL WALL was in the Chair ! ! ! And will the Electors then suffer such a Chairman as this " active Citizen," and such a Candidate as Mr. HOB.. HOUSE, to lA forced on them by the Spi rit of Democracy which never can be laid, and which may in the end reign triumphant in a Revolution ? We earnestly hope that Westminster has more pride, more public spirit, more pa triotism, and more common sense, than to sub mit to such disgrace to itself, and danger to the Empire. MR. QUICK THB ACTOR.—.The public have re ceived so much pleasure from the original talents and genuine humour of this Gentleman, that they must take an interest in every thing that relates to him. We are glad to state that lie is in good health, but we regret to say that he lost an amiable wife on the 2d inst. They had been united upwards of five-and-forty years in domestic harmony, and had fourteen children, two only of whom now survive to cheer the declining days of an affectionate father, and a truly estimable man. Yesterday at three o'clock another Cabinet Council was held at the house of Lord CASTLE. REAGH, in St. James's-square, which was attend ed by the same Members as on Thursday, being the whole of the Cabinet, except the LORD CHAN CELLOR. They continued in deliberation till half past five. Yesterday being the Duke of GLOUCESTER'S Birth-day, his Royal Highness's tradesmen illu minated their houses in the evening. The Earl of L►VERPOOL gave a grand dinner on Thursday, at Fife House, to a large I►arty: among them vere— The Speaker of the House of Commons, the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, Mr. Serjeant Copley, Nlr. Hushiscon, Mr. Arbuthnot, the Hight Hon. Charles Long, Hun. Welle,ley Pole, Mr. Bathurst, Mr. Canning, Mr. Brogden, Mr. Peel, Mr Goulburn, Mr. Croker, Mr. Lushington, Mr. Sturges Bourne, &c. Yesterday his Lordship entertained another large party. The Thorn, BREVEN, from Savannah, is arrived at Liverpool; she sailed on the 2lst Dec. with the Emily. Letters and papers ‘vill tie np On Monday. Yesterday the Convocation of the Bishops and Clergy of the province of Canterbury assembled a! the Chapter-house of the Cathedral of Sr. Paul, where they were met by the Dean of the Arches, the Vicar-General of his Grace the Archbishop, and Chancellor of London, the Ad vocates and Proctors, in their proper habits. The procession moved from Doctors' Commons about eleven in the forenoon. His Grace and the Bishops took their seats in the choir, clothed in their canonicals. ILL HEALTH OF BUONAPARTE —The ship Ed- WA d , Captain CHITTENDEN, arrived at Haiti tm re, was hoarded on the 27th of October, in 1at.58. N. long. 23. W. by the British slooii of war Racoon, ten days from St. Helena, and was Intortned that BUONAPARTE WEIS confined to his quarters, by sickness.—An Antwerp paper says, " A vessel, lately arrived at this port front China, and which touched at St. Helena for fresh water, has brought accohnts of BUONAPARTE was said to be in a very had state of he a lth, so that the news of his death was erery muinent cx pected.".

And, what is odd, you can't get well your bones pie'rce through the skin! FOR 111 E SUN. POLITICAL SKETCHES. I3EPPO. MR. EDITOR,-Yon favoured your Readers with a series Or Political Sketches of Distinguished Characters, supposed to have been drawn by our venerable Sovereign in the meridian of his reign, As they were very interesting why are they not continued ? 808 SHORT. • *.,,,),1r laconic Correspondent is informed, that the Sketches shall speedily be resumed.. • THE' THEATRES. Dauav-LANE.—The representation of the new Tragedy of Brutus, which has been so powerfully attractive at this Theatre, was, we understand, last night for the benefit Of the Author. This we hear was the fourth . night that has been allotted to him since the first appearance of the Play. Jr was numerously attended last night, and it is but a fair tribute to the new management to state, that the Tragedy has wanted no advantage that could be derived from a judicious allotment of the Characters in general, and from the grandeur of the scenery, processions, costume, &c. &c. Mr. KEAN, of .course, stands upon a plow! eminence ; but the other characters are so well supported that there is very little doubt that the met it of the piece it self, with such accessary advantages, will be highly popular throughout the season. COVENT-GARDEN.—The Soldier's Daughter, a very indifferent Comedy, but rendered interesting by the Performers, drew a large audience to this Theatre last night. • Miss O'NEILL improves in the comic province, but she does nor yet wear the sock wi►h ease. There is a stiffness in her action, even though her action is somewhat redundant. Her in►erjections are rather too loud for fe male delicacy, and par•ake more of the higher tones of impassioned Tragedy.' But she pos sesses so much merit in her proper sphere that we object with reluctance, and only for her benefit. LtsToN, as be does in all characters, gave face tious prominence to the trifling part of Timothy. FABREN was very diverting in the Governor ; and JONES, ABBOTT, and Mrs. FAUCIT, as w e ll as CHAP.mAN, rendered ample justice to the remaining characters. SHIP NEWS PotrsmouTft,, JAN. 15.—Arrived the Prince Regent, WHITE:, from the Isle of France, Cape, and St. Helena ; s3iled the 26th April, 13th Oct., and 25th Nov. : she experienced a heavy gale off the Cape, which obliged her to thr o w 500 bags of sugar and several cases overboard ; she afterwards put into Simon's Bay, and refitted. Spoke the Jane's Desire, for Rotterdam, in the chops of the Channel, all well. Sailed the Ruby, CHAPMAN, for Hull ; his Majesty's cutter Star ling. for Guernsey. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 14.—Came in the Oscar, LINDBERY, from St. Übe's to Norway, leaky, and must unload; Lord Wellington, AMY, from Lou- don to Oporto, but driven back by gales of wind, after being out 12 weeks, and was off the Bar the 7th Nov. last. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 14.-The Harriet, HILL, from Prince Edward's Island for Liverpool, was stranded in Bantry Bay the 9th inst. The Ca therine, from Drogheda to Liverpool, with butter and linen cloth, was driven on shore at Ballaghan Point—crew saved, and part of the cargo will be saved. WHITEHAVEN, JAN. 13.—The schooner men- tinned yesterday proves to be the Edward, Baru- FIELD, of Scilly, from Seville to Dublin ; the cargo all lost, and vessel gone to pieces—crew saved. THE SHIP SEVEHN.—On Wednesday the Gth inst. the ship Severn, Captain F. HALLIDAY, with I I passengers on board, sailtd from Kingroad, with a fair wind, fur Barbadoes.— A fter a few miles to Westward of Lundy, it came on to blow very hard from South West, when she bore up for Milford, but the wind dying away, she was unable to reach it. In a short time there sprung up a fine wind from N.E., and they immediately made sail, but had ❑ot got above 96 miles to the westward of Lundy before a most dreadful gale came on from the westward, the sea running mountains high. About two o'clock a. in. on Friday last, a most tremendous Sea struck her, and carried overboard the mate, Mr. lialsdon ; John Vaughan, the steward ; and Charles White and John Edgar, seamen. Mr. lialsdon was by a receding wave washed back in the Ship, but the other unfortunate turn were lost. The steward was seen holding by a rope that was hanging to the vessel, but before he could be rescued, another !teary suit carried aw , ty the stalls, containing three horses and a (MW, which falling upon the poor fellow (who was crying must pite ously for help), immediately overwhelmed hint, an he was seen no more ! He has left a young widow and two small children to lament his untimelyend ; each of the unfortunate seauteu had a wife and young family.—( Bath Herald, Jan.l6.) CUSTOM s [ACV.

TEIE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. 1 As we have been destre,i by many of our Mili tary Readers to reprint the Article which was copied from The Morning Chronicle into '!'Ha Su of the Ist instant, we comply with their wish.— We are assured that the letters signed Junius Militaris, to which the subjoined article is an answer, found their way into The Morning Chro nicle during the unavoidable absence of the Editor, who took the first opportunity to repair the error. We repeat our hearty concurrence in every tes timony of respect and approbation that can be offered to the COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF, for the ad mirable state to which he has brought the British Army, which has enabled it to take so conspi cuous a part in the deliverance of Europe, and which may proudly stand in competition with any other;Military Power on earth : " We are truly concerned that, during the se rious indisposition of the Edit'or, a letter made its appearance in this Paper; reflecting on the con duct of the COMMANDER-IN -CHI EF, and of the principal Officers under his Royal Highnes . s. A comparison was set up between the system of his loyal Highness and that of the late Lord AM HERST. Now the Editor is old enough to recol lect the situation of the Army Office in the time of the Noble Lord, and he can truly say, that the Army is highly indebted to the . present COM.. MANDER-IN- CHIEF for correcting the many and scandalous abuses which prevailed at the time al luded to. • " During the period the late Lord AMHERST was Commander-in-Chief, he held Military Le vees weekly at. his house in St. Jathes's•square ; Office's went in full dress—were formed in a circle in the Drawing-rnorn ; and, in incitation of the Royal Levees, his Lordship passed the click, allowing each Officer to speak or bow to him, and he then retired. " It is obvious, that in the parade of this Le vee, an Officer had not a proper opportunity of makiug such a communication to the .CommAtv- DER-IN-CHIEF as he might have done, had he been ushered to him alone, and avoided the restraint of a public room, where all he said must be heard by, others. • " The army, during Lord AMHERST'S Ad►ni nistration, was a mere nucleus, upon which was subsequently formed the immense force that has' eventually added so greatly to our military fame,' and to the deserved eulogiums which have bee►l• pronounced by the country at large, upon his' Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. How any . parallel could, in justice, be drawn between the ditties which - devolved upo►► the late Lord Am- HRRST HIPI the present 111USItiOlIS COMMANDER. IN-CHIEF, we know not ; and it would be equal• ly remote from justice to assimilate the employ ment and responsibility of their respective Secre-' taries, and of the inferior persons serving in the department. " It is notorious to every Officer of the Army', who served in it prior• to the pet iod of the Duke of YoliK being appointed Commander-in-Chief,' that nothing could be more netarioos than the means that were pursued to procute military rank ;—a set of men, who designated themselv, st Army Commission Br►►kers, would undertake to procure any rank up to that of Lieutenant• Col onel inclusive, provided there was sufficient money to Meet- their terms ; the Military Secretary fixed his premium, and, as his influence with the COM. 4 MANDER-INXHIEI , was adequate to every object of this nature, do failure or disappointment to the parties could arise. " Yet this is the system which Junius Mililaris holds out to the Public, as one infinitely prefer able - to the present Administration of the army— which secures to every officer his right of purchase at the regulated price, if lie is the eldest in his rank in his regiment—and which gives an oppor tunity to the youngest Ensign in the army to have a personal interview with the COMMANDER IN-CHIEF, when he may, without any restraint, and free from observation, lay his case before his Royal Highness, and from whom he is , inre to have a patient bearing, and a gracious and cou-' descending reception. " With regard to the distribution of the sums which pass through the Army Office, the Editor has before him the account rendered to Patlia ment, and nothing can be more satisfactory to the liberal heart than the use which is made of the money arising from the sale of commissions. It -is shewn in that Paper, that where officers die leaving widows totally unprovided tor, the con►- mission of the deceased, if originally bought by himself, is sold for the benefit of the widow—and a long list is given of the humane provisions thus made by his Royal Highness for the widows and orphans of meritorious officers. " As to the persoohlii ies so illiberally poured forth on the Chief Seel etaries, Officers, and others connected with the Office, they are so obviously the effusion of spleen, and - are so totally uusup» ported by truth, as to deserve no REIS %Ver. At no time . .was wore gentletniqiy attention shewn to the service, and more poat.bt i m p art i a li t y ir► regard to proinotion ; and this, the Editor can conscientiously declare, he has head cuiitirrnt4f generally by officers of all ranks. He feels that he owes this explanation of the appearance of Letter in Ills Paper, so contrary to his own per sonal knowledge of the conduct of the distill- guished persons so gros . sly aspersed."
