Colonel Bmtaow who know gone out ,to take the command of the British Settlement at Honduras, is tile same Officer who, in the year 1798, with Car. Moss, .of the Navy, since, dead, repelled a very formidable attack of the Spaniards under Gen. O'NFts., , consisting of a. numerous land force, and a flotilla of boats. But this armament was compelled to retreat with considerable loss. In consequence of this success,' the Btitish Boundaries were consi derably extended ; their extension indeed was per. fettly necessary, fur we had so cleared the.country in our possession of log-Wood, that any more which we wanted to pnieure was ,got at so great an ex. pence,,ap account of its distance from the coast, that . it enhanced its cost - silmost beyond what it would bear. Under the. Ministry of Sir 'Re , Rs. War.rot,e, .4pd of — the Earl of CsA.iHIM, thc bay of finnanras proved the source of considerable discussion, an d we were, in vain rcluired; to.. surrender the ad. vantages with which it , applied ()Ur ' Trade. Until 17153, we were ebtisiderecl and treated by .Spain as ets,roachera and u:,urpere, and it W 39 only by our trect!,ses in the War which led to the Treaty of that year, that we 'were enabled to exact from the Cabinet of Madrid, its explicit conaent to allow these the existence of a British Settlement. For twenty ylws afterwards, we continued in th e j( frleilt of the concession, which was folly con. 'fi?ined by the Definitive Treaty of 1783 ; and in 178 . 6 another Convention, both extended the limits • • cat tie Settlement, and gave to us the right I rutting, .not, only logwond, : hut mahogany, and other kinds of wood. VVe were even privileged to carry away the produce of the,country, lubjeft, however, to particular oiccptions, and, tinder an engagetrient.not to establish coffee and sugar plan. utions, Parliament considered,. the Settlement ref Inch importance, that an Mi was snon after tee last Convention ) to extend to it allithe privi. lege* of a British Colony.

Our moil in that country are heartily tired of it. The letters from Gibraltar, which come down to the zoth December, mention a dreadful storm the precediug morning, whicb did considerable damage the tsayi and that the lightning had set fire to the Royal Mittety on the summit of . the rock, construCt ed of ship timber, and lined with old cables and junk. It was impossible to/extinguish the fire, and this battery, which did most mjschief to the Spaniards tinting the siege, is entirely destroyed.

GREENOCK, BETWEEN Saturday night and Sunday morning, it came on a tremendous storm from the eastward, with a heavy swell, which still continues with on, abated violence. Most of the shipping in the Roads have drove—the Governor Ph9oN,At TC touched the ground yesterday morning at half tide, but by considerable exertions during the flood, she was got into deep water; and hati received no da mage. The Hero, CAR NTQC HAN, for BarCeiOna, which was lying at the Tail of the Bank, drove, oo Sunday night so hard, that they were obliged nt Cut away her, main and mizen masts ; she was nearly on shore yesterday morning, near the powder Ma gazine, but during the flood tide, by alive exer ttoni, she was got under wey, and ran into Gouruck harbonr, her she now lies in Safety, It should seem that on the 11;llelortares datT,,er being apparent, the sailors, agreeable to a custolri, more honoured in the breach than the 6bservande, began to pipe all hands to plunder. Not many hours after the wreck, some of the Captain's spoons were sold in the Borough; and above col, Worth of his plate was. stopped yesterday morning, upon a buhpicious pcp,ofi._ A Surveyor of Private Trade, in the service Of t h e Company, was one of the forlunate Survivors;. and it is rather a remarkable Coincidence, that this person was also on "hoard Cite unfortunate' Addhigio'n, and tiler had also a narrow escape for his life. Another singtilar circtimstance is the death of Mr. CLARKE, on the Nery day on which his son, a Cadet on board the iThrdosian,eitperienced a watery grave.

Mr. Imp EY took the Chair, and rose ,to explain the objed for which the Meeting had been convened. Hebegan by adverting to the Memorial,. presented by the Committee in, the name,of the Creditors at large - to Lord HA wx eSI3 UR Ys and to the result'of the different interviews which they had with hii Lordship„ since the Acob September ultimo, .tiow,n to Wednes. day las. It were unnecessary to ente r i nt o an y detailci aceo),intlof - the preceding interviews, be., cause soliatrasod„io that of Wednesday:contained the gerteral o resolt of all the others.. Mr. NM( then proceeded to state to the Meeting the grounds on which the British Creditors in the French Funds thought themselves justified in resting .their claims, and which he had submitted to the considera. tion of the ,Noble Secretary of State. These grounds he reduced to three heads ; ist, The conditions held out by the French Government at different periods, to induce Foseigoers to take a share in their Loans,. assuring them, that in such cases, they should not be subjected to the Laws by whichthe Natives might be bound.—ad, The stipulations of the Commer. dal Treaty.. conformably to which . a notice of 1.2 months should he given to Britith Subjeas to re., move their property, in case of the breaking out of a . war.-3d, The 14. th article of the Treaty of Amiens, - • by which it was stipulated that all If,QUeStfatiOrl3 on either side on funds, revenues, eee. shall be .taken off immediately after the signature of the De.. fillitiVC Treaty. None of these conditions had been complied with in the,present case ; but notwith: standing the inconveniences the British holders of French Stock had already suffered, lyet they were willing, nor could they think it an unfair or pre. sumptuous expedation, to be put on the sam'footing with the - Subk!as of the French Government. To the justice of that Government they were not re. ludant to submit their claims, and if his Lordship approve and abet their views, it was their wish to forward a Memorial. to His Excellency Lord WHIT. wou Tit , praying him to present the same to the Fteocli Government, hoping at the same time that his Loolihp would kindly second their request to Lord Wit i'..wokrit, and exert pia best . endeavours to give wt ight tn . their representation. To the grounds here adduced, Lord HAWK au it y made a few objeCtions, not, he said, such as his ovn mind would prompt him to urge ; but Lich he thought it was likely might be urged by others. In the first place, it might be thought equitable that British Creditors should be dealt by in the same manner as Prussian or Austrian Credi tors, ad, It might be said that no stress could be laid on the COmmercial Treaty of 1786, because that Treaty could not be supposed to exist after the passing of the Alien Bill. 3d, The Treaty of Amiens was: supposed to have in view property in erre, and not that which had been sequestered, or the payment of which had been suspended. What, ever might be the force of these objeetiotis, he - was not inclined to lay any stress upon them ; but all he imagined himself able to do, wail to re. commend the matter to Lord Wlirrwutt-sti, and in that view he should write a letter to his Lordship, requesting he Might espouse the cause of the Claim. ants in the manner which to him might appear. best calculated to obtain their object. With this detertnis nation of the Noble Secretary of State the Meeting seemed to be highly satisfied ; ,andon the sug jest* of Mr. SAUNDERS, it, wasproyosed that Sir r, LIJAH who was now at Paris, 'should be requested to act as their Agent, and that a power of attorney should forthwith he ;sent to him for that purpose. This proposition was Unanimously ared to ; and thanks having been voted to the Committee for their. allive exertions in behalf of the common ca use of the Proprietors, the Meeting broke up. • • THR THRATIR.--THRIIR" MAjESTIEs, and all the PRINCRSSIZS, except the PRIIieRS3 AMSLIA, honoured Covent-Garden Theatre with their presence lost night. The Comedy of The Man of the World, and the Pantomime of Harl equ i n ' s H a b eas , w e r e commandecton'this occasion. The Comedy altogether Wept q tr'lyithigreaf spirit.. Cooxi, whose merit in Sir .I',.:lft,irtax we have often noticed, Seemed to say last night • " 'Tis for my KING, and, zounds, nv beit," and the excellence of his acting evidently afforded high gratification to the ROYAL PARTY. The audience received the Father of his PeOple, and his August Family with every attestation of affec. tionate zeal. - The House was crowded in all parts, and the usual loyal and patriotic Airs were sung with the usual acclamation's. Drury.. Lane Theatre was last night' very well tended, notwithstanding the powerful attra&ion of the other House. The pleasant Old Comedy of The Bug Betty was very well supported, and' excited . much applause.

This speech, which was neatly worded, was well delivered and well received. SIR Jflkix SIBRIGHT'S BALL.--'The 13ali at Sir jotim Sea RIGHT'S on Friday last was more mag. nificent than was ever witnessed in Hem, Th e embroidered Curtains, scarlet Carpets, &c. &c, in. dicate, that the Baronet's observations .have riot been thrown away during hii Continental trip ; and though in . point Of cost and magnifiCence, his furni. sure cannot be compared with that of St. Cloud, yet in taste ,and elcipnc‘: it far stirpassed it.

His Lordship hoped that the unfor. m tunate circustantes which, it appeared by this trial, had happened, would be a proper warning to the Magistrates of Aberdeen, and to all other Magi. mates, to stop all riots and tumults at their first beginning. Rejoicings on the Birthday, of out gracious Sovereign, were extremely proper, and it was natural that the minds of the peoplesshould come elevated on sushi an occasion, but whery tlleY proceeded to riot and tumult, they ought to be in. scantly checked by the Magistrates, so as to prevent all danger; both xo.civil and military inhabitapts. The Panneis were then assoilzied, and dismissed from the Bar. Mo.NE Y4' tbtlaY ncl(lracc.,l rho_ Cam t'A " Speech skeonsiderablelengt h. and of touch inginuityi the purpOrt of which was, that 05 the Pantiels'had been, tried at the:instance of a private prosecutor, they should be entitled to their Expences. He grounded his plea on a Scotch At of liarliameot, which saysl if a private person shall prosectite, and shall not make out his charge, it shall be Accounted calum nious, and he shall pay the: expences of the De. fenders.—ln this case the Pannels had been put to very great expences, and having been acquitted, lie claimed their Expcnces. Mr. WM. RAR replied, that for reasons unknown to him, .but certainly very -proper ones, the Public. Prosecutor had declined prosecuting in this case ; but it would be very hard indeed, if p poor:nen had lost.hia only. son by murder,. he should have no Q}' portunity of bringing the pereons supposed to have committed that-crime to trial, without being, sub je to expences in:case of their acquittal. This was adding injury to injury ; and the effect 01 the present motion being agreed to by the Court would be, to : &min the unfortunate father, Daniel Ross, to Leßetual imprisonment. Tile £dolt.
