Should this : force be fortunate enough to • fall in with the Ene my, although the latter be superior in force, little doubt can be entertained but that the is s ue of a Battle would be a renewed proof of the Inv incibi. lity of the British Navy.

A misunderstanding exists between Sir Hype PARKER. and the First Lord or the •Admiralty, which, it is supposed, will lead to a serious inquiry. Mr. NEPEAN; Secretary to the Admiralty, had the honour of being appointed one of the Knights of Malta by the late Einperor Paul., at the same time with Sir HOME POPHAm, but declined assum ing the title. ~ Lord CASTLEREApH resides, during his present indisposition, for the benefit , of his health, at hi:; mother's house at Wimbledon. The Seat near Ealing, purchased by His Royal Highness the Dtnce of KENT, was the property of Mrs. FITZHErtHERT. On Thursday and yesterday GEORGE BROWN and JOSEPH WARNER, Esqrs. 'paid a ftna into the Chamber of London, of and zo marks, to be excused serving the O ffi ce of Sheriffs for the year ensuing, to wh ich they ivere nothinated by the Lora Mayor on Tuesday last, at a Court of Alder. men. General Sir RALPH ABURCROMBY, whose loss we all so justly deplore, after having his horse shot from under him, was attacked by a young French Dragoon, who was also dismounted, sword in hand, whom, however, he completely subdued and disarmed. Another Frenchman at this instant came up to the assistanye of the young man, and would . have put Sir RALPH to death, but lbr a soldier of the 4 zd Regiment,-who run the assailant through the body. Sir RALrH "then mounted another horse ) and short - 1r after received a 'shot in the`'thick part of the thigh. He continued, however, to,rido about during the remainder of the Action, which conti nued upwards. of two hours from that _tide. His A,41-de-Camp said to him, Sir, lam afraid you' are touched."---‘ , Oh, no,') replied the gallant ve teran, ;' nothing but a mere scratih." At length he prevailed upon him to dismount, when he found his leg so stiff that he, could hardly get it off the' home. The-heroic chief was then put into a blanket, and carried down to the Lake, ‘Qhere he was put ino a boat, and conveyed on board the Foudroyant. u 1 I Okoit +T#L► CUIItitifITTEE Of sEcitet OF THE HOUSE O F CONbiONS. (Cmibniedfropti our Pap.l . ial I",,terdiy.) As the Revolutionists in Lont'i li were willing to inlist under their Banners, :talc: Religious Extrava gancies of the -day s - those in the Conlin.) , availed themselves of similar prejudices: A Soeiety appears to have beeti formed hi part of Yorkshire; under the title of New Jerusalemites,,Whose Leaihrs haVe iii spired them with a belief in the pretended praplie; Cie:, of tiddlers, and who look under his guidance for the speedy commencement of the Millenium The views of these people seem totally unconneded with any political °bra, ' though Their tenets, leading to an independence on any earthly Govern_ meat, and an eXpeClati rt of the subVersiOn of the existing order of things, 'Would naturally Make them indifferent speetatori at lest, if not alive in stiuments of any attempt to accomplish that end.— The profane perversion tif Scriptural 'Prciphecy, at. tribtited•to them, and which is noticed in the Ap pendix,. sufficiently marks - the praCtiCal danger of such enthdilasts, and the use which might be made of them in furtherance of any RevOlutionary Schemes. Whatever, therefore, might be , the ohjeds of the first authOrs 'Of this sed, the Scriptural allUsion was adopted by the seditious Emissaries above re.. ferred to; and read over to the personi who was to take the Oath, before it was administered. 'The oath . above described was certainly adMi nistered to very largenutnber:;, -ind the extension of it promoted both by . offers of money and of Milita ry rank in the prOjeded Rebellion, to those whose Hexertions should induce the greatest number to en. i gage in it. This last temptation was particularly* addressed to the Soldiery, both of the Regular and . ' Volunteer Corps ; to wlu 41 a set of queries was also deliveled,' . a Copy of which is inserted in 'the Appendik. The partiettlats of theSe attempts have been divulged by those on Whom they were Made, at tested in legal depositions, and one 'of "them- has lately been, the subject of a trial at Lancaster, in which the 'fad appears to ' have been fully proved, bin , it baying been inadvertently stated in the In. • didment, that the oath was administered in an une lawful assembly, instead of privately (as was the fad), by a single individual, the prosecution was' thus - for the time defeated. On the apprehen sion . of one of the carries concerned, it seems to have been a point for consideration with his assts:, ciates, as it had been on similar occasions in the Me tropolis, whether they should not seize that moment for a general rising, rather than-wait, with the ap prehension Of intermediate detection, till they were better prepared in other respeds.: , •Though this was not adopted, they announced from time to time a certain period for the.insurredion, whichtwas-repre sented as connected with - one in Scotland and Ire land, all to - take place on the same clay, and Which was -at last appointed for 'the' termination of seed-time. Two very niuneetitti popular Meet , ings were meanwhile held' in a 'part of Lancashire early in , April, apparently calculated to forward these designs ;•at one of which a considerable num ber of persons were` observed . practising' military exercises ; but the , principal objed 'preVious to the general explosion, if not intended as a part of it, was "to convene a general meeting of disirkis in a central part of the Island, and particularly of the • popukuS and mattuftduring par's of - the cotinties of York, Lancaster, Chester and Derby, near which it was represented that a kind of Congress *of Dole , gates, from six distrids into which the kingdom was divided, had for some time been occasionally sit_, sing. The latest • accounts from that part . of ' the country, announce, - that this assembly. has aaually been held, at which many thousands from different parts of- the country were collected ; but the Aft for preventing Seditious Meetings having then passed, the aSsembly;was at length dispersed by the intervention of the Magistrates, supported by a military force. .' Your Committee have abstained from drawing the attention of the House to any ,unpremeditated tumults which 14ve,unfortonately prevailed in dif; ferent parts of the Country, .and particularly ill, the West 'of England, oh account of the,, dearness of provisions ; conceivino - that, although' these, may in their progress, have been encouraged' by the dis. affeded, and may havii assumed, an order and con cert in their proceedings, from the example of secret cOnfederaey,. recently oradised in both pri - rts Of the United KingdoM, (winch seems evidently to have formed a part of an eit.tqnsiye, ,digested,' anti toe thodized system) they were origioally'unconncded with the &signs traced io thii Report. . The enterprizes and connenions . of the New Society in the Metropolis, were ;IN, however, • confined to foment the discontents, or encourage. the hopes of the disaffeded in our own Country : They certainly Were disposed, if- occasion offered, to avail themselves of any' asaistance, that could he derived from the invasion of a Foreign Enemy,. whose aid was solicited by some of their emissaries, both for this Country and lieltind, and to whom they held out the hopes'of a formidable co-operation from internal insurreetion. Towards the end ,of last year, when, as has Keen already stated, the hopes of thc Seditious in England began to revive, it ap. . pears that representations were, , transmitted, abroad of the progress of similar discontents in Scotland, by the Agent's concerned in fomenting thein, and that- they were described as connected with expelled support irons the North of England, and particularly - ' with insurrections in London, the plan of which ' was described " as perfectly organized." On the other hand, hopes • were held forth of a: pro , jeCied invasion from Holland on the. Coasts of England or Scotland, to . co-operate . with a general Insurrection or " Explosion," ,as it was called, to take place at the same. moment both in England, and Ireland. Early in the present year, when the plan in question is stated as having arrived, at maturity in London, an Agent from thence ap pears to have avowed the oiled of it, without re ; serve, on the Continent ; to have ,boasted of the progress it, had made amongst the subtolii of the M.:tropolis ; to have explained the ,support to be expettcd front Foreign Initais4on, the design of the instil - cc:lion breaking out at the same time in the nob d i r direaini the first atiadk (7.1 d; teinnient arid Magistrates ,of the Codttrj; :int! td 'Mire eortirriunieateit these designs, and did inearil availing thiniselves of iliertie.td the the Foreign Enemy.

Aler the final decision of that extraordinary cause,in: this Country, Mr. ST E WART illidTClsf'tl series of letters to the Earl of IVIANSF Int o, nose argunients and elocittente principally con! ributed to ptoduce that decision. In these letters Mr. STE W Atti gives- a history of alt the cireunistances that re lated to the cause, with a view to rePreSent that de cision as erroneous. T he letters ate written with great force, ingenuity, and acumen, and the noble Lord is treated with the utmost severity. . Mr. STEWART printed these letters for circula tion among his private friends, and those who h.td taker an aetive part in the cause. They have, how ever, been since printed by the Booksellers, of Scut land and Ireland, They may be considered as ad mirable proofs of a penetrating, ingenious and in telligent mind. Hardly any thing in our language can be, compared with them for address, judgment., and aElivity in the maintenance of a particular ob.' jed ; and if they do not equal the Letters or juN,,, eloquence, they are by no means inferior to them in the display of strength of mind and argunutnta tive dexterity. Mr. STEWART' was present in the !louse of Lords during the whole discussion of the interesting and complicated husiness in question, and though the Advocates on the opposite side,cast the severest re. fieetions on his charaderi lie manifested the most perfea composure in his manner, and, according.to the observation of a Gentleman who stood near him, rested his arm upon the Bar, hardly made a single movement of his body during - many hours, and in steadiness, attention, , and dignity, looked exaaly like a statue of some venerable sage,of antigaity.. It, would be improper to conclude this brief tr bute-to the memory of ar enlightened characier,' wittont observing, that no mean selfish considera— tions influenced the conduct of Mi. STEwmyr, in relation to the famons cause in which . hc.engaged with so. much zeal, perseverance, and ability, but that it was certainly on his own part the'result of the firmest and most honourable convilion. The following Letter from an Officer in the Army in Egypt, contains several interesting Nets relative to the last Engagement, particularly in the descrip tion of the order and movements of the Army, which have not yet•been detailed : • Our Army was encamped in two lines, extend,. ing East and - West across an uneven neck of land formed by the sea, an the West, and the Lake Maadie on the s Ea3r, which covered\ the right and left flanks. The Reserve was stationed in frone the right of•the first line, about one mile. The. 2.Bth was posted in an angular work in front of the Reserve. The Guards were on the left of the Re serve., The first object of the. Enemy waa to carry the works 'in which the zBth were potted, then to turn the right flank of OUT Army, and by these means secure the heights on the sea side, and drive , our Troops into the Lake. Maadie, nn the .left. The Enemy advanced boldly and' rapidly. ~Three solid columns of infantry led the way, supported a large body of Cavalry, in the' rear of which was a line of Infantry, and guns to support the :tttaek, in which they were confident of success. Oee entire Column attacked the 28th, another weer towards, the Guards, whilst a third advanced Fowl,' the flank of the angular work to attack an old Fort, in which the 58th were posted. This l gglant Corps, with, the 33a, took them in flank, and the lin rear soon save a good account of them. A well direeted tire from the whole, killed and wounded so: rent number, that the remainder threw dow,n ther arms, and surrendered at discretinn. All this while the 28th were busily employed in repelling the d, apes attack of the other Column. The e.id were order. ed-to support the left flank of the work after the former business was over. In the execution of this duty, that gallant and distinguished Re. giment advanced rather too far, -which the Ene my's Cavalry took advantage of, cot in am mgst them, and penetrated quite round to she rear of the zBth, upon which that Regiment faced rotted, 'gave them one volley, which killed or wounded every man, in sight, and then resumed their pro. per front, as if nothing had happened. 'Colonel PAGET, who commanded the 28th, was unfortu.• nately wounded early in the aftion, and obliged to retire from the field, and the charge of the Corps devolved on Lieutenant. Colonel CHANT"; eats." The. Amusements at the Royal Circus, St.George's' Fields, are such as 12y their excellence and novelty , attra6l the attendance of the Public in a superior, degree, and certainly the Managers spare no expence to he the first in bringing before them the most complete rcptesentatiOns to celeln-ate the glotious atcluevements of our Arms by Sea.and Land; such are the interesting and unrivalled Spe6tacle of our Success in the Bat* under Lord Nelson, and .the glorious Vitiory gained in Egypt, which is got up in a truly superior stile of correctness and brilliancy, such as' to set completely at defiance all atteuipts of rivalship and competinon. The Music, Scenery, Combats, ee.e. are of the first rate, and display the greatest judgment, which the crowded. Audieli,va every evening, at , the above Place of Amusenut:st, proves abundantly.
