" FnANKPonT, MARCH 2!.---The opposition of [Jesse to the military arrangements agreed. upon by the Diet CallSeS an unexpected delay. The Ministers of Austria and PruSsia, at Cassel, have endeavoured in vain io induce the Elector to t ithdraw his opposition : the latter has declared that he will not depart from his system. The Prussian Minister, as already stated, has with drawn from Cassel ; and the Hessian Minister to Prussia has been recalled from Berlin. It is sup posed that the Diet will ultimately make their Decree, not ,vithstanding the opposition of Hesse; but curiosity is excited to know what will be the result. " MUNICH, 11AttcH 20.—There is a report of the intended marriage of the King of Spain with a Prinee.ss of Bavaria." Ne►v York Papers to • the 1 lth of March, and Philadelphia to the 10th, arrived this morning. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser of the W.) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MARCH 1. OCCUPATION OF TER FLORIDAS.—The House, on the motion of Mr. Houvres, resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on the state of ti►e Ut.ion, to which was referred the Bill, autho rizing the PRESIDENT of the United States to take possession, under the Treaty with Spain, of East and West Florida, and providing for the temporary Government of the Territory. The Bill passed, and was sent to the Senate for concurrence. A WHOLE SQU ADRON LosT.—We learn by the Basque Ossipee, from Carthagena, that Commo dore ALIRRY'S Squadron, consisting of six or se ven sail, was lost in a terrible gale at Old Pro vidence, anrd that he bad succeeded in saving only a few guns, which he had with him on the beach. [From the New York Ga.vette V the 10th.) The Inhabitants of the District and Members of Congreqs gave a splendid ball on Friday last, at CRAM FORD'S Tavern, to Mr. and Mrs. BAGOT k previous 'to their departure Uor England.' After supper, the health of Mr. and Mrs. I .3.AGorr was drank with great applause, and in compliment to the occasion, hand struck up the English Ha.. tional air, " G .r 1 save the King," which was itnniedia , cly followed by " Yankee Doodle." Mr. BAcor returnvd thanks in a handsome man ner, and expressed his grateful sense of the atten tion which he had received since his arrival in this country, and his sincere wishes for the hap- piness of the people and the prosperity of the nation. Mr. BAGOT has, by the amenity of his manners, the respect which he is believed to have always. shewn towards the Government, and the uniform politeness with which be treats every body, gained a greater degree of goodwill than has been ex petieuced by any other English Minister, with the exception, perhaps, of Mr. ERSKINE. lie has shewn bow easy it is to combine uith the most sincere attachment to his own country and its institutions, the most perfect respect for otters. Mr. BAGOT is truly an Englishman ; his departure will excite the most sincere regret of all who have had an opportunity of knowing him. (Front' the Baltimore Republican of the 9th.) SBMINoLE Witu.-11 is stated in the Washington City Gazette, " that the report of Mr. LACOCK was not the oohed sentiment of the Committee, that Mr. Kiss and Mr. EATON were opposed to it."—The following article from the New York Evening Post accounts for Mr. ,KING'S opposi tion on a different principle, and, as we think, more consistently with his known character: — Report of the committee of the Senate respecting the Seminole War.—This masterly report is drawn up with a precision and clearness that cannot he surpassed, and we are tree to acknowledge has not been eq . nailed by any production that has yet appeared before the public on the subject, in any form or shape. It presents two features, which only came first to light in the course of the exa initiation of some of General JACKSoN's Officers before the Committee of the Senate, mod which I venture to say exhibits the conduct of this Officer n a point of view that will call forth the marked and loud disapprobation of every Ante rican who loves his country, and has 'a just regard for its Laws and Constitution. That Gcncr , .:l JACKSON has openly tr a mpled upon the Laws, amd violated the Constitution, no man who reads this report will have the hardihood to (;c:y.' If he has written authority tv justify him for what be has done, as I am now told he boiilv declares, lit hits produce it ; the burden of guilt will then be shitted to other shoulders, As it ought to be ; the affair in tit t case will iosnme a new shape. Hence is seen the hill force of the objection offered by Mr. KING to this report being laid before ►he, Senate at this time, as it Will, it acted nj,on, compel that body to cormnit itself prematurely upon a solemn question that they may hereafter be called upon as a Court of Impeachment 'to decide. But this c i .nnot affect the unprecedented facts which tire Committee have now ptibliihrd to the world, and which can neither be altered - nor treated with disregard. The British PresS bring no longer wag:2:4llly hi. dined to ridicule Messrs. GRENF!LL and TIER NEY, by dressing them " in a laced snit of tawdry qualifications which Nature neVer intended them to wear," we shall dui') the subject, ex cept with respect to its charge Of " pre meditated delusion," on the part of Government, The Press says, that it stated the case hypotheti cally, but it forgets that Messrs. GRENFELL, and TIERNEY "positively declared" their confidence in the validity of their own estimate of the balances, &c. &c., therefore hypothesis had nothing to do with the question, and therefore the charge of " premeditated delusion" on the part of Government is wholly unjustifiable. But The Press is involved in another dilemma, for it says that Lord LANSDoWN'S estimate " refers to the aggregate' 'ot all balances of all public money now in the bands of the Bank." But why then did, not the brace of Financiers, so highly extolled by The Press, make the same estimate ? The Press must now admit that Lord LANSDOWN is a better Financier than those Om worthies who seem to be constantly on their less on matters of Finance. As the awful period is approaching, when the Legislature are to determine whether that Politi cal and Religious fabric which was reared by our Ancestors, and left as their noblest legacy to Great Britain, shall be demolished-by the violence, or sapped by the artifice, of Popery, we again raise our warning voice to incite our Statesmen to guard the sacred !inst.—We refer to an admirable letter from a valuable Correspondent, signed ALBERT (see our fourth page), on this subject, and recom mend it to the earliest attention of Government and the People. Though we have had many, and hope to receive more, articles on this vital subject from Members of the Ecclesiastical Establishment, and though ske have reason to believe that our Paper is strongly patronized by the higher orders of our Orthodox Church, yet we feel ourselves obliged to say, that we consider them as a body too supine on a subject so essentially important, not only to the Country but to themselves. It POPERY once obtain a share of Political Power, it will consider it as a religious duty to des'roy every vestige of the Protestant Faith. The Protestants of Ireland who have supported the Claims of Popery have branded themselves with an indelible mark of folly, timidity, and a total insensibility to the danger which they are endeavonting to bring upon the Empire. We have, however, the • satis faction to find that other Irish Protestants of thole 'wisdom have taken the alarm, and are strenuously coming torwaid, to avert that danger, as may be seen in the following extract .from The (Dublin) Correspondent of the 29th. ult, with which wesliall at present conclude the subject : "The Protestants of the County of Sligo, and the Grand Jury of Ty rone, have added themselves to the opposers—the honest, manly, fearless, high-principled opposers of the Rotunda\ Conclave, and their unfounded proclamation, in the name of the Protestants of Ireland. The Sheriff of Sligo acted with con stitutional reserve, in declining to call together any part of his Bailiwick by a religious designa tion. The Protestants, however, did assemble, and the Sheriff attended 3 s one of the number." Yesterday the Duke of YORK translcted mili tary business with the PRINCE REGENT, at Cat:- ton House. Tuesday, about two o'clock, the Algerine Am bassador, attended by Mr. SALAmtie, his &ere tary, was introduced to the E,tri BATHURST, at the Colonial Office, Downing-stteet. The in terview lasted Khoo! ten minutes. his Excel lency appears to he 60 years of age, but it is said h e i s no! ,dd ;h e i s very thin, and has the a y. pearanet of an European ; he was dressed in a turban ? a brown robe or mantle embroidered %I-10i gold, red trowserS, white silk stockings and mo rocco slippers. Mr. .tALAM NE, his Secretary, has been, in ,England some yrais ; he accompanied Viscount Exmou'rn in the Expedition aglinst Al tiers as an Interpreter.' Extract of a Letter from Florence, dated the 14th March, 1819 :—" Florence is extremely full at this moment, rusty body flocking hither to be present et the festivities and gaiety which are to signalize the vitit, of the Emperor of Austiia.— Among the new at rivals, I observed the Duke of Devonshire at the Opera ; his.

Upon winch Charges the Court CiLUIC to the followirig cision " After a due and attentive consideration of the evidence produced against the prisoner, with what he has offered iit his defence, tie Court are of opinion, that the prisoner, Cap tain Ralph Smyth, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, is tot Guilin or the First. Chari;e, in as as the report made by hi:n to the Crionnantling Officer of his regiment. was neither tal3e nor unfounded, and they do thereture -most fully a,,,1 kunwir ably-Acquit him of the same." " The Court are unwilling to animadvert on the evidence of Lieutenant Robb, as its nature, 011 perusal of the Mi nutes, will be sufficiently apparent ; but they cannot help emai king, that the whole of these embarrassing circum stances have originated in his nomihtary proceeding , ill put ting. Mr. O'Donnell in posse,sinn of Captain Smyth's Official Report to his Commanding Officer." " With regard tO the Second Charge, the Court are of opi nion, that the Prisoner, Captain Ralph Smyth, is IRA Guilty, and they do therefore most fully and honourably Acquit hint of the same." " The Court conceive it incumbent on theta to enter more ful:y into the reasons on which this, their opinion, is grunneled, than they otherwise would have done, for the pur pose of endeavouring to extricate both the Prisoner and the Corps from the embarrassing situation in which they have been so long placed; in doing winch they feel anxious to con fine themselves as much as possible (in as far as relates to Mr. O'Donnell) to such ohservations as will tend to place their view of the subject in a clear and distinct light." " In consequence of the non-attendance of ail the Wit nesses expected from Ireland, the Court have been obligiA to rester to a variety of Papers lard before thew, arid having selected such as bore more immediately on the case as exhi bited in the Charges, and the said .Documents having teems authenticated by ikurli Parties, the Prisoner as wen as the Prosecutor, they on a deliberate and careful consideratioa of the sante, are of opinion, that the Report made by Captain Ralph Smyth to the Comioandiog Officer of his Regiment was absolutely required it; the execution of his duty as Cap tain of r detached troop;—that the said Report `was solely Military, and did not contain the shadow of a rillectitis on the character of the Magistrate, Mr. O'Donireil under that impression the Prisoner seas must fully ire re fusing to resort to the ext,:ille measure proposed by Mr. Hayes on the part of Mr. O'Donneir , r• s•ibsequelic conduct of Mr. O'Donnell was most violent and unprosoleed, and was evidently intended to force Captairr ..sarytti to a com pliance with the: proposed Dnel." " The Court cannot but remark on the selfish line of con duct adopted be Mr. O'Donnell, who, first challeng nig Cap tain Smyth wi th out the slightest provocation, err ills r. fusal to accept the challenge, addressed to him the most intempe rate and abusive language, and having thus placed Captain Smyth in a most embarrassing situation with respect to his Brother Officers, by a coilvenient subterfuge deelineet afford ing him on opportunity of extricating himself from it, and tensed for real injuries and insults offered, that satisfaction which he had himself demanded for a supposed arid noa gi nary grievance." " That Captain Smyth was Guilty of error, the Court wilt not deny, but they think that error consisted it) not imme diately reporting to his Commanding Officer the message're- Cel% from Mr. O'Donnell, and caning Inn him for his sup port, when an Official Report made by Inns iii the course of his ditty, as Captain of the Regiment, was attempted to be made the grounds of a private quarrel." " The Court, therefore, after a dispassionate review of the ease submitted to their investigation, can see no reason why Captain Smyth should nut return to his duty in the 7111 Dra goon Guards, restored tothe esteem and regArd of his brother Officers." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, has he e» pleased io approve and coildren the Finding and Sentence of the Coast. 'lire very proper and satisfactory manner in which the Court have expressed their sentiments on this subject, tendets it in cumbent upon tile Gllicers of the Regiment to dismiss from their minds the impressions to the prejudice of Captain. Soryth's honour and character, which they appear S have inilribed Irons the violent and unwarrantable cernduet and unfounded accusations observed and expressed towards In aiiJ The Prince Regent considers the conduct of Lieutenant Robb, in having oryinated this unpleasant transaction, by his unnecessary an d mischievaus communication to Mr. O'Donnell of Captain Smyth's report, to be highly repre hensible and deserving of censure ; and his Royal filgliness therefore desires, that Lieutenant Robb tray be severe'y re primandial in the presence of the Officers of lire 7th Diagram Guards, and admonished to be more circumspect in his future conduct. _ _ The Commander-in-Chief directs, that the foregoing' Charges preferred against Captain Ralph Smyth of the 7tl.
