tale toprevv .it our own brave so'-'.iers from
btiiig coiwigneil totli.it Walchenti cliamel
house, whcic their lives have beeii exliii
guished («*s an lira member lias said, with
at felicity of expression peculiar to himself)
“ iike a candle in a vault ?’* Where were
those feelings, when ministers ordered to be
exposed to all the hon ors of a bombardment,
tile inhabitants ol Flushing, whom wo pre
tended to have come to deliver from the tjr
lanny of the Trench i This afTectatioti, this
cautof humanity, is truly ridiculous. Min
isters have brought evidence before the
house, to prove, that if the expedition had
been sent upon a service which required
protracted operations, they could not have
found money to pay the troops—the expedi
tion, therefore couhl not lie of any me as a
diversion in favor of Austiia (even if the f.i'e*
of Austria had not been dee1 drd,as it. nctu
;dly was, before the expedition embarked.)
But ministers, it seems, were determined »o
send an expedition somewhere ; the good
folks of Margate and Ramsgate, and the
re>t of die watering places, oust have some
thing to talk about-the noble lord (Cas
tlereag'u) must have a trip to the coast to see
the raree.show of an embarkation ; and,
therefore, must the best troops of die country
be sent to absolute destruction. The noble
lord, however, says, that we must not pass a
censure upon him and his colleagues, be„
cause die expedition he planned has not been
tried—the ultimate objects of the expedi •
lion, he says, have nutbeen attempted. Re
ally, sir, this is so wretched a quibble, that I
am inclined to suspect that it has originated
with die nitti Arina part of the administruti
«n.-r -A laugh.)-The Wale Keren expe
dition not tried ' Am I dreaming, sir, or,
are wc really now discussing the merits of a
priighty expedition, which sailed to the
Scheldt about eight months ago, and which
returned about four months afterwards, de
Teated—disgraced—and almost annihilated ?
1 cry his lordship mercy, but 1 really did
suppose somehow or other that the expediti
on to Walcheien had been tried. Does his
lordship mean to deny that the whole of the
expedition, from the beginning to the end,
was under the direction of his majestygov
efoment ? And is that government not liable
to be called to account for its total failure ? I
have now, sir, only to observe, that iftninis
tet-s are net arrested in their career of folly,
by the censure of this house, the conscquen -
ces to the country may be dreadful in the ex
treme-the responsibility of ministers will
bo ar, e :'p-y sound-the aspersions which
have been thrown upon this house, by per
fcoos out ol doors, will receive confirmation,
and the. confidence of the people, (Ido not
fitean the people, in the technical sense of
*!.e word, but the sober and thinking part of
the nation,) in their representatives, will be
lost for ever !**

“ All the renlaiiiing American vessels and

American vessels in ballast, are allowed to

A London paper of the ‘24th of April, says,
i “ the master of tiie American vessel, which
•had been condemned at Christittnsand. in
■ Norway, arrived in town yesterday. He
i states thatbelween 40 and 50 A metjean ves
sels had been seized in Norway, and were
!m course of adjudication. The slightest
jpretixts were made use of to cover these
i piracies. Some vessels were seized becau-c
! they had been over-hauled by British crui
i zers ; others for irregularities in their pa.
• pm s; and in oae instance, a vessel was eon
j denmed because the Supercargo w.>s em
i powered to dispose of a share of her to any J

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Dublin papers as late as May 4th, receiv
ed in town yesterday, bring our London
dates up to April 3dth. The intelligence by
these papers is dcstatute of interest; such as
it is, however, we have extracted.
News from Spain, in Ireland, is as late
as the Tth April; we have had direct Ca
diz accounts to the 13th, and dates from
St. Sebastians, as late as the 14th of that
month.
No mention whatever relative to Ameri
can affairs with England, was m?.de in the
English papers ; hut all accounts concurred
in the incteasing dangers of trade upon the
i Continent. —
Dublin May 3.
Rotterdam is crowded with French sol
diers, agents and Custom House Officers, all
sedulously employed in suppressing corn.;
merce. in which they are unfortunately but
too successful The nature of the business,
arising from the peculiar circumstances in ,
which the Dutch traders were placed, had
compelled them to have recourse to an ex. i
trao.din.iry method for conducting it. It !
was the custom of their agents to stipulate,
for a certain percentage, to deliver the mer- 1
chandize contrac.ed for, free of all risk, at
the London Custom house. The remunera-!
tion was lately 15 percent.; but in the pre
sent state of thirgs, 50 per cent, would not
compensate th« agents, for the risk they
would have to encounter.
We stated several days ago, that Mr. j
Yohkk was to go to the Admiralty, and •
Lord ivlui.GRAYE to the Oidnancc-‘he
latter appointment has taken place, and the ;
commission to the former effect is in pro.
gre ss.
May 4 —We have received the London
Papers of Monday. Tln.ro is not, with the
exception of tne prorogation of the French
Legislative li.-dy,any intelligence of inonient
in those papers. It is worthy observation,
that although there ts a solitary collateral
fling against the “eternal enemies of the
Continent,” the speech of the Senator Ueg_
nauit, does not contain the customary attack
upon the people and government of England
Tins may be considered by many sanguine
persons as indicative of the return of a pa
cific disposition on the part of Napoleon.
The speech expatiates with great and p.ir
donnble complacency on the nuptials of the
Emperor and the Archduchess of Austria.
There is no doubt that this marriage was
one ot the fust stri kes of policy Napoleon
ever exhibited. It secures, as iiis orators
say, tht peace of the Continent ; and when
the Peninsula shall have been subdued, it
will leave him at liberty to prosecute a mar
itime war, or to turn the anus of the French
People, as well n of his confederate legion
arii s, to the Ottoman Empire. The latter
is mentioned slightly ; hut it may be for the
purpose of concealing his designs. Jinked
we think that a a Turkish war is bv no
means so remote as may be generally ima
girnd.
The last accounts from Lisbon and Spain
describe the French as suffering under
great want of prnviyicns. One of tiuse let
ters s iys, “ the French are retreating from
ti*e Portuguese frontier its want ol every
thing.” I lie same want is felt in Spain, £c
the in xt accounts will probably bring us intcl-1

But Spain, deprived of her king by the
unparnlelled permly of the emperor of '.lie
French, her European S'ates vanquished by
his treachery and by his arm>, and the an
cient law tut and acknowledged government
of the country destroyed by ‘ he violent cut

neither reason, right,justice for continu I

'1 he federalists in our State Senate, in di
rcct opposition to a rule which we believe
has been acknowledged ever since the a.,
doption of the Constitution, have determ in
c-d that the President shall have a vote up
on every question. That is, whenever a
question is decided in tne Senate by 20 votes
against 19 the President is to give lus vott
to the 19, and mis prevent the passage of
every law. The office if President w:.s e..
vider.tly intended to facilitcre and n .t to

Messrs. Editors,

gular and inhuman behavior to Robert Jcf
tiics, one ct his ere v, who was by his savage
h.v.btnty forced on th-> barren, desert is.,
lynd of Sambi tro, without clo’.hing. or sus
tenance. °
As the English were in April last fitting .
'ait a vcssct tor Sami' rer,, anti elsewhere, for
the discovery ot ibis person, it may not be
unnecessary, so far as r v IcjmwU dge extend**
to scale a lew remarks on this subject.

of tins understood from captain Deo o is,
(‘■•ho is now at cea) that he h ul been on tho

and the cockles which grew on the rtvk !

That the captain o: the U -crui' refused to
give him when ordered ia'.o the tv at, cither
brearl or water, though earnestly ini port lined
by tlie lieutenant, who humanely commi'e„
rated his unhappv condition, and generously
when on learn g tlie island, took his shoes
from Ins feet, and gave them to Jeffries, who
wa i entirely destitute.
J<Hiies, i sm informed, is a blacksmith
by trade, and resided in vVenham, in this
county. List suininei he visited this town,
and earnestly expressed his gratitude for
the kind ness he had received, anil the plea
sure lie experienced in being able by bis
occupation and industry to support him
self.
As'the government of Great Britain np.
pear anxious to know the fate of this man ;
and as I likewise am anxious that a crea_
ture like Lake, who must lie destitute of e
very principle, separate from a bad one,
should meet the reward of Uis savage base
ness, Isendyou this for publication.
