We are sorry to have to record the particulars of the failure of the small Expedition up the River St. Mary, respecting; which, some uncertain- ru mours:were derived from American Papers. Our gallant fellows behaved with their accustomed bravery, b►bt many of them were butchered by the skulking assassins, whO like serpents, sting to death froM their unseen biding places. The news of the ,peace arrived on the 2d March---tea days sooner it would have saved these YaltlZible " PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 2s. " This afternoon the Erebus sloop' of war ar rived from off Georgia, last from 'Halifax. The information brought by her is extretn4 unfortu nate. It appears that on the 23d of February an attack of an unsuccessful nature was made up St. Mary's River, by the boats of Admiral Sir Ggo. COCKBHRK'S' Squadron, under the direction .of Captain PH ILLOTT, of the Primrose, and Captain BARTHOLOMEW, of the Erebus. The force con sisted or eight barges, manned and armed, with detachment of Marines, &c. for the purpose of destroying sonic works. Captain Putr:Lorr Was to direct the landing, and Captain BAnTuoLosiEw the coveringparty. The force had proceeded a distance of 100 miles, and within three-quarters of a mile of its destination, when it was attacked out of the woods on the Florida side (the Spa nish side therefore neutral) by the Patriots, and with them a great unlimber of regulars and dismounted rifleine l s . .: The place where the force Was attacked, and the river 16r about 50 miles . below,•is only from 30 to 50 yards wide, and the banks covered so closely With trees to its edge, that it is only in some places a _landing can be effected. A sharp skirmishing took place, and in about 20 minutes the Enemy were dislodged. The enemv's works, Which were time object of attack Were every way prepared, .and the bugle sounding the approach of our force, it was deemed primdent to retire. In less than a quarter'of an hour time boats were again attacked, and in such situation that that the assailants .could not be seen for trees, and not more than 15 yards from the Centre of the river it being extremely narrow in that part. -This-at tack lasted about 20 minutes, and in less than an hour another attack 'took place on the retreating boats, from both sides of the river. Our force conducted themselves with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and fought their way through this powerful opposition, for a space of nearly 40 miles, from two o'clock in the afternoon till one the next morning. Early in the action Captain PHI'LLOTT received a slight buck-shot wound above the left knee, and a slight flesh wound in the hip. The loss we sustained has been severe, and consists of 29 killed and wounded, and among the latter IS• dangerously. Captain BARTHOLOMEW was also wounded by a rifleman in the back part of his head, and as he was putting up his left hand to foal the wound, a part of the middleiflnger and thumb were shot away by another of these expert tuarksmen; he was also wounded by a buck-shut under the left breast, and It as struck with another in the neck, almost in the great artery.--Lieut. CLARK, of the Derastation, mortar-vessel, shot a rifleman in the act of pointing at him." We have French Papers of the 26th, but their contents are singularly unimportant. The only great and graiifying fact which they announce is, that the French Funds continue to fall rapidly.— In spite of the general enthusiasm of France, in spite of the New Constitution, and even in spite of the promised Champ-de 7 Mai, the 'five per cents. experienced .on the 25th a further decline of 11 per cent. They were on that day 6*, and' the Bank Actions 750, 755, 760. Brussels Papers to the 27th, and Frankfort to the 23d,_ have arrived, but they were completely .alitiCipated by, the Vienna Journals, the contents or which appeared, exclusively, in THE SUN of Tuesday and subsequent days. Ike have it from the best authority, that the .force 'of British and Ilanoverians, under LOrd HILL alone, amounts to 26,000 men, in as fine order as ever appearud in the field, of battle. We can also, from unquestionable sources of informa tion, confirm the report of the numerous deser tions front the Bebe! ranks. These desertions are even .more considerable than has been stated, for besides those who come over to the Royal side, there are many more who,,retire to their families and homes. The example of Dunkirk, where a gar rison of 400 men in a few days diminibbed one half, is by no means singular in . this respect, and, the consequence is that mistrust and appre hension distract thelrobps Which still remain; and paralyze the hearts of their masters. Private accounts describe BUONAPAriTE StS un able to continue long on horseback.. A Gentle- man who arrived in' town' yesterday from Paris, saw hint lifted on his horse by four soldiers, and he was obliged in a very short time afterward' to dismount with similar assistance_ It has been said that this arose from a rupture in the groin ; but it is more evidently the result of unhealthy , obe6ity. Never was a triumph more complete than that of Illiml3tet9 in the 'louse of Commonalastizight never was a speech delivered hi the ,Senate with /more powerful effect than that of Lord CAsTLC-- .REAGIL it was cheered in the most general and eightisiastie manner from •all sides, tticl it was quite entertaining- to observe the discomfiture of Clootz .and his party. hlow came this. speech . to produce so great a sensation ? _ Lord CASTLEREAGH, as a public speaker, though energetic and full of matter, is not to be compared with tire immortal PITT, who melted the thunders of DEMOiTHENES into the music of Tuus. And yet not even the most brilliant of the orations of the departed Patriot:ever -extorted more aninrat-ing applause, than the reply of . the NOhle Secretary to the.looSe; disjointed, and anti-British harangue, with which the great question on the State of the Nation was so inadequately opened.— Armed Nvith the strong facts of his case, find the strong feelings' of. the public, he seemed a Jove, with a thunderbolt in each hand, to concound the. Ojipnsition Titans in their attempt to clamber to their visioned heaven---:-tho. Treasury Bench. It was the victory of truth ; justice, and honour, over the unnatural pretences of delusion seeking to destroy our native Country, of philanthropy palliating only the conduct ottnemics, and of folly misrepresenting the clearest dictates of political wisdom and common sense. The numbers on a division were 273 to. 72 — majority, 20l ; and it appeared from an eloquent speech from Mr. W;ELLtoT, which we regret our limits have compelled us mount, that the . GREN VILLE part of the Opposition differ •from their friends on the momentous question of Peace or Via r, It is oltvions from the warlike - te'nour of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S obs6-vations, that the-} ate'. alter n►ttive .has been decided upon—and, we will at fir►n, with the almost unanimous concurrence of time British Nation. It is One of the fallacies of the Talents to in duce a belief that they are the Representatives of those who wish for Peace. This is no abstract question ; if it were, then the answer would be, that the wish for Peace is universal. But it / is a question of peace, resting upon the security of BooNArAnTp, and his traitor associates, and upon sueh a guarantee there N not one man in a thousand, either in Great Britain or upon the Con••• tinent of Europe, who would accept the pledge. Th e ayes of mankind might be collected in favour of Peace ; in favour of those blessings which were dawning on the human race • till these Demons came to obscure the horizon—but the noes would be as universal against relying on the professions o f perjured Rebels for the enjoymeneof this best of - the gifts of Heaven.
