THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SILENCE THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 24, 1806.
By CAPT. STEED, of the ship Intrepid, in 53 days from Liverpool, we have been favoured with London papers to the 26th September, to which a friend has also added some others to the same date.
All our accounts gathered from the publick papers, from private letters, and verbal information, agree in stating that every prospect of peace has vanished, and that the renewal of war is reduced to certainty. Lord Lauderdale was still at Paris, but it appears that this negotiator was detained by indisposition, and not with any views of accomplishing the object of his mission.
We may every moment calculate upon the information of hostilities having commenced, unless that Buonaparte has perceived, that the allies are better prepared than he found Austria last year, in which case he will move with caution. It is surprising that our Democratick railers will insist that this is a coalition under British influence, when it is evident that it is a measure of self defence. This observation is not made with a view of justification, for we should consider a coalition formed for the purpose of restoring nations that are in slavery to self government, and to maintain the independence of those that are yet free, as meriting the highest applause, and deserving to be crowned with complete success. A coalition against France at this juncture, must we should think, deserve success. But so far from this being a measure, emanating from the British Cabinet, the London papers do not hesitate to say, that the best understanding does not exist between the Cabinet of Berlin, and that of St. James. That the latter should view the former with suspicion, is no more than what is strictly reasonable, and therefore to be expected. Before Britain affords any efficient aid in money or otherwise, she ought to have Prussia well committed with Buonaparte.
The changes that have taken place in the British Cabinet, in consequence of the death of Mr. Fox are detailed under the proper department; from these the London Courier infers the decline of the influence of the Facies, and the ascendancy of the Grenvilles. If the inference is correct, it forms an additional circumstance to place against the probability of peace, as it is well known that the Facies part of the administration have been the advocates for peace, and the Grenville part have been opposed to it.
The grand expedition from England has at last sailed, destined, the greater part for Sicily, and the remainder for the new conquest Buenos Ayres. The conquest of this place appears to have infused new life into the commercial and manufacturing interest of the nation. The number of expeditions that had already sailed, and were preparing for that place, is astonishing. The importance of the acquisition appears to be highly appreciated by all ranks of people, and with good cause. In our paper of this day will be found an order of Council regulating the trade of that settlement. It is easy to perceive that Great Britain will be anxious to preserve this conquest; it is important to her in many points of view, and among others it will in a short time releave her from that state of dependence which her West India Colonies have had upon the United States, and of which our rulers have so often boasted, and menaced them with. With the exception of Lumber there is no article which the West India Islands can want, that will not be furnished from the province of Paraguay of almost every sort for one half, and in some instances for one third of what those articles cost in the United States.
That great man MR. PITT, whose comprehensive mind looked beyond the ordinary of men, no doubt perceived and felt the danger to which the British Colonies might be exposed from the hostility of the present rulers of this country, (whose hostility being founded upon unconquerable prejudices there was no hope of removing) and therefore sought a remedy against an alarming danger.
Sept. 25.—AMERICAN FLOUR in London, 44 a 47s. Sterling per barrel.
THE EDITOR of this paper being obliged to leave Norfolk for a short time, will excuse him to some correspondents, whose communications are just received, and to those who may address him in his absence.
It is now nearly eighteen months, since we have received a number of the Salem Gazette; the Editor has lately demanded the reason, why we discontinued to exchange? It is given, and the Editor of that paper, will ascertain the cause as to his paper not reaching us, all we can say is that it never came to this post office.
On Friday night, the following melancholy event occurred, at one of the vile sinks of vice (with which our town is now cursed in a degree beyond all former example) in Water-street.—At a house occupied by one Menzie, there was a publick gambling table kept, where dispute arose between an Italian, whose name is Colminer, the keepers of the table, and some other persons present, about the game;
from words, they soon came to blows, when the Italian drew a dagger, which he used with such effect that he soon stabbed four of the party; one named Davis, expired in a few hours, another named Watson died of his wounds on Saturday, two others were wounded, and one of them is now in considerable danger. The Italian made his escape, and has not been since heard of.
LATE EUROPEAN ADVICES.
From papers received at the office of the Publick Ledger, by the ship Intrepid, Captain Steed, in 53 days from Liverpool.
LONDON, September 20. It is now settled that the remains of Mr. Fox will be deposited in Westminster Abbey, on the 17th of next month. The funeral, which will be suitable to his character, but not marked with much ceremony, will proceed from his house in the Stable-yard, St. James's.
Lord Auckland attended his majesty in council on Wednesday in his official capacity as president of the board of trade, and laid before him the different proceedings that had taken place between him, the committee of the privy council, and a number of merchants, upon the subject of opening a trade with Buenos Ayres; when, after due deliberation thereupon, his majesty, by the advice of his privy council, was pleased to sign an order for opening a trade with that place; and we understand it is exactly according to the rules observed in trading to the West Indies. On all linens and goods of Russia manufacture imported into Buenos Ayres a high duty of 25 per cent. is to be imposed.
OFFICIAL. Queen's Palace, September 20.
The king was this day pleased to confer the honour of knighthood on S. Sharpe, Esq. his majesty's consul-general in Russia.
At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 17th of Sept. 1806.
Present the king's most excellent Majesty in Council.
Whereas, the capital city, town and fortress of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies, have been conquered by his majesty's forces, and the territory and forts of the same are delivered up to his majesty, and the same are now in his majesty's possession; his majesty is thereupon pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that all his loving subjects may lawfully trade to and from the said capital city, town, and fortress of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies, including therein all and every the territories belonging to, or forming a part of the government of the same, in British ships, owned by his majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law; or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the said city, town or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within the same, and under the obedience of his majesty's government there; and that such trade shall be subject to the same duties, rules, regulations, conditions, restrictions, penalties, and forfeitures, to which the trade to and from his majesty's colonies, plantations and islands in the West Indies and South America is, or shall be subject by law, except as is hereinafter specified.
And his majesty is further pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that all commodities, being of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the said capital city, town and fortress of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies, including therein all and every the territories belonging to, or forming a part of the government of the same, or which have been usually exported therefrom, shall be permitted to be imported into any of the ports of the United Kingdom in British ships, owned by his majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law; or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the said city, town or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within the same, and under the obedience of his majesty's government there; and that such commodities shall be subject to the same duties, rules, regulations, conditions, restrictions, penalties, and forfeitures, as articles of the like sort are subject to coming from his majesty's colonies, plantations, or islands in the West Indies or South America.
And whereas information has been received, that the commander of his majesty's forces to whom the said city, town, and fortress has reduced the duties on importation into the same, from about thirty-four and a half per cent. ad valorem, to ten per cent. ad valorem, and two and a half per cent. for the consulate or municipal duties, making in the whole, twelve and one half per cent. on all articles imported into the said place and its dependencies in British ships owned by his majesty's subjects and navigated according to law, or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the said city, town, or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within the same, and under the obedience of his majesty's government there; his majesty is thereupon pleased to order and declare that the said reduced duties shall continue to be levied, and no other, on all articles so imported, with the exception of German linens, which are to continue to be subject to the same duties as were paid thereon before the conquest of the said place by his majesty's arms, until his majesty's pleasure shall be further ordered, that it shall not be lawful for any slave or slaves to be landed or imported or brought into the said city, town or fortress of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies, including therein all and every the territories belonging to or forming a part of the government of the same as aforesaid, upon pain that all slaves so landed, imported, or brought, together with the vessels bringing in the same, or from which the same shall be landed, and their cargoes, shall become forfeited to his majesty his heirs, and successors. Provided always, that this prohibition shall not extend to the several cases of slaves bona fide employed in navigating any ships trading to or from the said place, or of slaves bona fide employed as domestick slaves, and coming into the said place with their masters; or of slaves in any manner employed in his majesty's naval or military service. And the right hon. the Lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, and the lords commissioners of the admiralty, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respectively appertain.
(Signed) W. FAWKENER.
[This Gazette also contains his majesty's order in council for permitting the importation in neutral vessels into our West India islands, for 12 months ensuing, of lumber, staves, and all kinds of provisions, with the exception of beef, pork, and butter, and also the exportation of rum, molasses, and all other commodities, except sugar, indigo, cotton, coffee, and cocoa.]
September 22. Rear-Admiral Stirling has been sent out to supercede sir Home Popham.—He sailed from Plymouth some time ago. It is reported too, but we trust the report is untrue, that Sir Home Popham is coming home under arrest. What has been the motives for thus disgracing an officer who has rendered such signal service to his country? The expedition to Buenos Ayres? the ministers are anxious to impress a belief that he undertook it upon his own responsibility. Do they mean to say that Sir Home was sent out solely against the Cape, and that that was the limit and boundary of his instructions? that there was no latitude given him, and that there was no understanding between him and Mr. Pitt with respect to ulterior operations, particularly against South America, should a favourable opportunity be offered? But founded upon the statement that the late minister had no merit in undertaking this expedition, Sir Home having undertaken it solely on his own responsibility. If there be merit in the expedition, why is he recalled? but he was recalled, it will be said, before the account of the success of it had been received, and before the merit was ascertained. But why was he recalled before?—We believe we could afford a clue to the determination formed to order him home, a determination made, we suspect, very soon after, if not immediately upon the present ministers coming into power. But Mr. Pitt deserves no credit for the expedition to Buenos Ayres; who selected and sent Sir Home Popham out? Mr. Pitt.—Who have been the bitter enemies of Sir Home Popham, and have attempted to disparage and disgrace him? the opposers of Mr. Pitt.—Who have recalled Sir Home? the present ministers.
We could draw a contrast between the conduct adopted by Sir Home Popham and general Beresford in the conquest of Buenos Ayres, and the conduct adopted by certain other persons in the conquest of other territories in a former war.

Spanish Treasure.—Mr. Alexander Davidson, of St. James square, colonel commandant of the loyal Britons, and agent of the expedition under Sir Home Popham, marched at the head of his corps from George-yard, Prince's-street, Soho, at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, to escort the Spanish treasure taken at Buenos Ayres, through the metropolis to the national bank.
On their arrival at the Plough at Clapham, they found the Cavalcade, consisting of eight waggons, each carrying 5 tons of dollars, and drawn by eight eight and six horses each, preceded by a brass 6 pounder, taken from the enemy.
At 11 o'clock, it came along Westminster bridge. The loyal Britons, under colonel Davidson, marched before the waggons—and colonel Prescott, with the Clapham volunteers, escorted the rear.—An excellent band belonging to the latter attended.
Having arrived at the admiralty, they halted, whilst the band played—"Rule Britannia."—They then proceeded to St. James's-square, where the procession drew up, in front of colonel Davidson's house, when Mrs. Davidson presented them with a pair of beautiful colours, on which were written, in gold letters, on blue silk, within branches of Laurel, "Popham—Beresford—Buenos Ayres" at top—and "Victory," at the bottom. Each of the Royal marines and sailors were regaled with some bread, beef, and porter, and then each man was presented with a guinea to drink his majesty's health. Each volunteer had a horn of beer. The band played—"God save the King," "Rule Britannia," &c. the corps fired three volleys on the joyful occasion, and the brass field piece was fired six times.
The procession to the bank passed down the strand, Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, and Cheapside, in the following order—
The brass field piece, which was taken from the enemy, drawn by six sailors, dressed in the same uniform in which they attacked the Spaniards on shore.
The ammunition Cart drawn by Sailors.
Mr. McCoy, first lieutenant of the Narcissus, who had the charge of the Treasure to town, in a Post-chaise.
Mr. Jones, a midshipman, in a single-horse Chaise.
Eight Waggons, drawn by six horses each adorned with flags, pendants, and blue ribbons.
The first bore the Vice-Royal standard of Peru, displayed by a royal marine. The second and third the colours taken from the walls of Buenos Ayres—and those following, the English Blue, Red, and White Ensigns.
Each waggon had a sailor and a marine on top, holding the colours, with two on foot on each side. The sailors had blue ribbons round their hats, on which were the words—"Popham and Beresford," in letters of gold, with the word "Treasure," on each waggon.
The whole made a most grand triumphal entry into the city. The windows were uncommonly crowded with spectators to witness it.
At three o'clock it arrived at the bank, where 1,086,203 dollars, and a small box filled with jewels and precious stones, were all deposited.
The arrival in town of the treasure captured at Buenos Ayres, on Saturday, caused a depression in the price of silver of no less than two-pence per ounce.
Arrangements are understood to be in a state of forwardness for the amicable adjustment of our differences with Prussia. The Prussian ports are expected to be opened immediately to our trade. Let us hope that the eyes of Prussia are at last opened to her real interests, and that she is at length convinced there is neither honour nor even safety in concession or submission to Buonaparte.
THE JEWS IN FRANCE.
By the last mail a letter was received from Paris by a respectable Jew house from a relative of one of the partners in Paris, which states that the Jews in France are much perplexed at the present moment, and under great apprehensions for the issue of the religious political conference which Napoleon has forced upon them. Instead of plans for sending them to the Holy Land, and such schemes as have been rumoured in the newspapers, his object appears
to be to incorporate them so completely with the other French subjects that their name, nation, and religion, may be annihilated. Persuaded that the Jews may as easily accommodate themselves to the French State religion as he could and did to the Turkish when in Egypt, he has, it is said, caused it to be intimated to them that it would be much better in them to renounce the religion, and change the day of their Sabbath to Sunday, like the rest of the world. The Jews are in consequence in a state of great alarm, expecting that no Jewish religious establishment will be permitted in France; that their young men, like other French citizens, will be subjected to the law respecting conscripts for the army; and that the refractory will be sent to Cayenne.
That there may be some plan for bringing the Jewish youth into the French army, is extremely probable, and that it never was any part of Buonaparte's design to put them in possession of Palestine, is equally probable; but we can hardly believe that, under the guidance of such a man as Talleyrand, he will attempt by force to make the Jews become Catholicks. Such an attempt would remove from France the whole mass of Jewish capital and Jewish industry, and we are sure that whatever blunder Napoleon may commit, that can be no part of his design.
September 24. We understand that the following are the new arrangements which are agreed upon in consequence of the lamented death of Mr. Fox:
Earl FITZWILLIAM, from indisposition, wishes to retire from the situation (which requires regular attendance) of Lord President, but to retain his seat in the Cabinet.
Lord SIDMOUTH to be Lord President.
Lord Holland, to be Lord Privy Seal.
Lord HOWICK, to be Secretary of State for the Foreign Department.
Mr. THOMAS GRENVILLE, to be First Lord of the Admiralty. And
Mr. TIERNEY to be President of the Board of Control.
Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST to be Master of the Mint, vice Lord Charles Spencer.
Mr. WHITEHEAD will also be speedily called into Office, but the arrangement for that purpose is not yet matured.
We can now add, with the utmost confidence, that Lord GRENVILLE proceeded on Monday morning to Windsor, to take the KING'S Pleasure upon the above nominations, all of which it is presumed will be confirmed at the Privy Council held this day.
BUONAPARTE'S DEPARTURE FROM PARIS.
The departure of Buonaparte's guards and retinue from Paris would be immediately followed, we predicted, by the departure of Buonaparte himself. Government, we understand, have received the information that Buonaparte had actually left Paris to place himself at the head of one of his armies destined to attack Prussia, before Mr. Smith the messenger left Paris.—It is said that Buonaparte set off on Friday morning. Smith did not leave Paris till the afternoon.
It has been supposed that Buonaparte's first attempt will be to march strait against Magdeburgh—we think otherwise. He will, in all probability, make a sudden irruption into Saxony, and attempt to prevent the Saxon troops from joining the Prussians. He will try to put in practice the same system against the Elector of Saxony which was so successful against the elector of Bavaria. But we trust the conduct of the latter is destined to remain without an imitator. The corps of Augereau and Bernadotte are stationed in such a manner as to be able, within a few days to enter the territories, either of the elector of Hesse, or the elector of Saxony, or both.—Augereau, whose head-quarters are at Franfort, occupies both banks of the Mein and Lahn, extending on the left to the banks of the Seig, and on the right to those of the Neckar.—One division is cantoned on the frontiers of Wurzburg. Bernadotte occupies the Margraviate of Anspach, the city of Nuremberg, and the principality of Bamberg, and can effect an immediate junction with Augereau. Davoust's corps can also be recalled from its present position in lower Scabia. It has been conjectured, that Buonaparte, adopting his usual system of rapid operation and incessant attack, will attempt to march direct thro' Saxony to Berlin, and strike a decisive blow immediately.—He has left Paris to commence his operation before the Russians arrive;—we know not exactly how far the Russians have advanced, but it is certain that they are in full march to join the Prussians.
The fourth coalition seems thus to be at hand.—May Prussia, as she has been reserved, as a special favour, by the modern Cyclop, to be the last devoured, have the fortune and the courage of Ulysses, and deliver herself, and her allies from the den and clutches of the monster! But we regret to find the ministers, now that war between Prussia and France seems to be inevitable, adopt a tone and manner so chilling and indifferent. Instead of cheering Prussia with the language of animation; instead of applauding her determination not to crouch at the foot of the tyrant; instead of promising her the powerful countenance and support of Great Britain, we hear the dispiriting tone of doubt and suspicion. The conduct of Prussia is deemed somewhat extraordinary.—She is told that her menaces will not have the effect of inducing Buonaparte to abandon any part of his great plans of ambition and aggrandisement. She is still supposed to be selfish and timid.—"With all this," say the ministers, "he may, if he considers Prussia in earnest, propose some compromise which he supposes will tempt the selfishness, or prove an apology for the timidity which he knows to be the character of some at the court of Berlin."—But this language was, perhaps, to be expected from men, who have been negotiating for peace whilst Buonaparte has been proceeding in his career of encroachment and aggrandisement, destroying one state after another, and changing almost the whole of the continent.
The gazette of last night contains an article of intelligence, which ought not to be passed over without comment.—His majesty has been pleased to permit sir John Stuart to accept the title of count of Maida in Calabria, conferred upon him by Ferdinand IV. king of the two Sicilies. Buonaparte has wrested Naples from the rightful sovereign, and bestowed it upon his brother, whose acknowledgment he makes a sine qua non.—We view king Joseph as nothing more than an usurper, consider

Ferdinand the VIII as the lawful sovereign, as king of the two Sicilies, and permit our countryman to accept a title conferred upon him by king Ferdinand, in his character of king of that territory, which Buonaparte has wrested from him and given to his brother.
Concerning the fate of Mr. Palm, whom we stated formerly to have been shot at Brannau, we find many persons unwilling to credit the report: they think it more atrocious than any act of French tyranny; and it may be so, as long as it is the last. As to the proof of the fact, those who know the enslaved state of the Hamburg press will be satisfied with having read in it, at different times, the account of the arrest of Palm, and of his being conveyed to Brannau; then a statement that Mr. Palm, who lost his life at Brannau, has left five children; and elsewhere again, it is said that Mr. Palm has suffered a dreadful punishment at Brannau. The same paper mentions a decree of Napoleon, proclaiming the inviolability of the territory of the confederation of the Rhine, to which Nuremberg belongs.
* In a translation from a French paper we lately noticed the condemnation of this unfortunate man, with some others, by one of the French bloody tribunals.
September 25.
Yesterday, about noon, his majesty came to the queen's palace; soon after which he gave audiences to the hon. Thomas Grenville (who resigned his office of president of the board of control); earl Spencer, the secretary of state for the home department (who delivered to his majesty the seals held by the late right honourable Charles James Fox). Viscount Howick had then an audience of his majesty, and resigned his office of first Lord of the admiralty, when his majesty was pleased to appoint him his principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, and delivered to him the seals of office accordingly. Viscount Sidmouth had an audience of his majesty, and, we understand, resigned the privy seal, which is to be given to lord Holland.
His majesty then held a private levee, which was attended by (besides the above distinguished persons)—
The lord chancellor; the chancellor of the exchequer; lords Rivers and Heathfield; sirs P. Hale and G. Prevost; major Dean; Messrs. Elliot, Fawkes, Windham and Bond.
The following had the honour of being presented to his majesty:—
Viscount Howick, upon being appointed principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, in the room of the right honourable Charles James Fox, deceased.
The hon. T. Grenville, when his majesty was pleased to declare him first lord of the admiralty, in the room of Viscount Howick, resigned.
The hon. major Dean, of the 38th regiment, who brought the despatches of the capture of Buenos Ayres, upon his arrival in England.
Mr. Elliot, secretary to his grace the duke of Bedford, the lord lieut. of Ireland, upon his return to England, by Mr. Windham.
Major-general sir George Prevost, upon his being appointed to a battalion of the 60th regiment.
The resignation of Earl Fitzwilliam, as president of the council, was not officially known.
After the levee his majesty held a privy council, at which we understand his majesty was pleased to command an order to the lord chancellor, to further prorogue the parliament from the 9th of October, to the 29th of the same month.
CAPTAIN WHITBY, of the LEANDER, has returned from the American station under arrest in that ship: and a court martial is immediately ordered upon him, for firing upon the American vessels which has made so much noise. By these means, the truth of those proceedings, which have given so much uneasiness to both countries, will indubitably be determined.
We received this morning letters and papers from Holland of the 19th. Louis Buonaparte was to return to the Hague on Saturday last, preparatory to the arrival of Buonaparte, who was expected there yesterday. All the troops, even those on the sea coast, have left Holland for the camp at Zeist.
The Dutch papers are full of the preparations of Prussia, and of the confident rumours of the immediate renewal of hostilities. The following Proclamation has been issued by the Prussian Administration of Erfurt. His Prussian majesty announces in it his solemn determination not to consent to cede or exchange any of his provinces whatever;
PROCLAMATION.
The well intentioned inhabitants of the jurisdiction of this department have been alarmed for some time by all sorts of reports of the cession or exchange of their country. Though convinced of the falsehood of these reports, the Presidency of the Royal Chamber of War and Domains, has thought it owed it to the fidelity and patriotism of the inhabitants of the Province to procure them an authentic contradiction of the said reports, which might set them perfectly at ease. It applied in consequence to the king, and by an order from the Cabinet, dated the 28th ult. and received today, it is authorised by his royal majesty to contradict in the most solemn manner the said false rumours, his majesty according to his own paternal expressions, not having even in the most distant manner the idea of ceding or exchanging this province or any other whatever.
The undersigned presidency hastens to communicate the paternal assurances of the monarch to all his subjects, persuaded, that they will still further increase their already proved patriotism, and dispose them to every sacrifice which circumstances may render necessary. Though no reports ought longer to alarm the inhabitants, all those who shall circulate them designedly, must expect to be seriously punished.
(Signed) DOHM. Heiligenstadt, Sept. 2. DORSCHE.
Lyell, the messenger, embarked yesterday morning at Deal for Calais, with dispatches in answer to those brought by Mr. Smith. The funds, which were very flat yesterday morning at the opening, rose, towards the close of the day, upon the report that Basilico had arrived with further dispatches from lord Lauderdale. The rumour is untrue—no messenger has arrived since Smith. It is reported that Lyell has carried out orders for the return of lord Lauderdale.
The expedition had not sailed from Plymouth on Tuesday evening, though the wind was not so unfavourable as it had been. It was reported at Plymouth that it was to wait for the Atlas and the transports from Portsmouth, and then sail all together. It is utterly impossible for us to find an excuse for the delay that has taken place in sending these Expeditions to sea.
It is said that the duke of Bedford has been recalled from the government of Ireland.
His grace was sent at the special desire of Mr. Fox; and his recall is another symptom of the declining influence of the Foxites.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A YOUNG MIDSHIPMAN TO HIS FATHER.
"His majesty's ship Penelope, off Concarneau, near L'Orient, Sept. 17, 1806.
"Bony's ship, the Veteran , is in Concarneau. It is a small creek, and at low water the entrance is completely surrounded with rocks, so that it is impossible for us to destroy her with our present force. The Attack brig is therefore dispatched to the fleet with the information (as nothing can be done without a bomb vessel or two), and by her I have availed myself the opportunity of writing to you. It appears they have mounted all her guns on shore for her protection, and she is snug among the rocks. I leave you to judge our feelings when we are constantly in sight of, and cannot get at her; but when the bombs arrive you will hear of her destruction."
September 26.
THE LATE ARRANGEMENTS.
The old Foxites are all anxious to represent the arrangements that have been made in consequence of the death of Mr. Fox, as a proof of the most perfect cordiality of union and sentiment amongst all the confidential ministers of the king.—There is that kind of cordiality and union of sentiment which subsists between those who can command, and those who are forced to obey—nothing further. The Foxites must submit to the Grenvilles. The death of Mr. Fox has sealed their dissolution as a party.—They are politically defunct. In the first moment after Mr. Fox's death, they were anxious to prove their submission to the Grenvilles; the Grenvilles select Lord Percy, whom they had previously brought in for Buckingham, and the Foxites instantly cling to him—the Foxites dare not set up a Foxite for Westminster as a successor to Mr. Fox—they dare not support a Foxite—they are forced to afford the most signal proof of their submission to the Grenvilles, by supporting a Grenville candidate against a Foxite—they are obliged to turn against the only man of considerable talents left among them. At a general meeting of the Electors of Westminster not one of the old Foxites raises his voice in support of Mr. Sheridan. At a partial meeting, the Foxites pass over all mention of Mr. Sheridan's pretensions, or even his name, and take not the slightest notice of the vote passed at the general meeting in favour of Mr. Sheridan, against lord Percy.
Don't let the Foxites suppose for a moment, that by their assertions and assurances of "that cordiality and perfect union of sentiment amongst all the confidential ministers of the king" they have deceived the publick into a belief that they have equal weight in the cabinet with the Grenvilles. They wish it to be supposed, we see, that they shall be able to count Lord Fitzwilliam's nose upon any point of emergency.—But Lord Fitzwilliam's nose will no longer be counted, we venture to predict.—The Grenvilles have good-naturedly let them throw out the idea, in order to save their credit, but they will never presume to count Lord Fitzwilliam's nose against the Grenvilles noses.—Do they think too the publick do not see the master hand of the Grenvilles in all these arrangements? When the ministry was first formed, Mr. Grey was placed at the head of the admiralty.—Was it against his inclination? Was it not a particular object with the Foxites and with the Greys, so intimately connected as they are with the St. Vincents, to have him there? Does any one consider his removal in any other light than as a dismissal from the admiralty? But still he has a seat in the cabinet, an important office, the foreign secretaryship of state—he will retain it just so long as the Grenvilles please; that is, till certain other arrangements are made, which cannot be made at present. We consider him as the locum tenens of the marquis of Wellesley.—Nothing more.—But Lord Holland, a Foxite, has got into the cabinet, and a Foxite has succeeded Mr. Fox in the foreign secretaryship, and thus they think the publick will see nothing more than the replacing two Foxites by two Foxites.—But let us look a little further—Lord Holland has succeeded to an office of little or no importance, the Privy seal.—The Foxites designated him as successor to his uncle, of whose sentiments and hopes and plans they told us he was the depositary.—But the Grenvilles do not chuse that he shall be foreign secretary of state (which of course he would have been had the Foxites had a commanding influence) but suffer him to succeed lord Sidmouth, whom they elevate to his old post, the presidency of the council. Lord Holland is not permitted to succeed Mr. Fox, but to succeed lord Sidmouth!! He is not allowed to have a place of such efficiency as lord Sidmouth, the former object of the derision and ridicule of the Foxites, but it is to put up with a place which lord S. has quitted—another humiliation for the Foxites.
But in these new arrangements, what do the Grenvilles retain? Precisely all those departments which afford them great internal influence and control; which make them really the ministers of the country; they have the finance or the treasury, the admiralty, and the home department; they may be said also to have the army; all the great seats and sources of internal influence and patronage are in their hands; it is they who make arrangements, and recommend candidates (we have a good deal to say upon certain recent proceedings in Hampshire); it is they who selected lord Percy for Buckingham, and who have selected him for Westminster.
But what do the Foxites retain that gives them any counterbalance or counterpoise to the power of the Grenvilles? Nothing.—The foreign department gives them no internal influence or patronage. The privy seal! It would be idle to talk of the influence of that place. The war secretaryship of state! Do they rely upon counting Mr. Windham's nose against the Grenvilles? Mr. Windham's nose they may depend upon it will not be stationary on their side, nor perhaps on any—it will be now on this side, now on that side.—We view him as the Shut-
tlecock .—Do the Foxites rely upon the Prince's friends?—Has lord Howick forgotten former circumstances?—Besides, recent events must, we presume, sufficiently convince him that the prince's friends will not be with them against the Grenvilles.
We consider therefore lord Howick as merely the locum tenens of the marquis of Wellesley, who will be appointed to the foreign department, so soon as he has been released, which we have no doubt he will be, from all the charges brought against him—And Mr. Tierney's appointment to the Presidency of the board of control may not be unconnected with that object. It was found extremely inconvenient, we understand, to have the president of the board in the house of Peers. Mr. Tierney therefore was selected as a man of acuteness and application to business, who would be able to take an active part in the debates upon the India affairs in the Commons. Do the Foxites consider Mr. Tierney's appointment as a proof of their influence?—We believe they will not contradict us when we assert, that Mr. Tierney was never popular with them.
As a party, therefore, possessing either consequence or weight, the Foxites are defunct—an event upon which we most sincerely congratulate the country. They must submit to the Grenvilles. They may show themselves more frequently at publick meetings; they may make more noise; they may deliver longer speeches; they may appear upon the stage, but they are not the managers; they may appear before the curtain, but the publick see clearly that they are moved about by the Grenvilles just like those Puppets which open their eyes and mouths, and throw about their hands and arms upon pulling a wire between their legs.—They are the dancing figures, but the Grenvilles are the showmen.
Courier.
At length, after so many delays, and orders and counter orders, the Expedition for Sicily has sailed. It sailed on Wednesday, in forty transports, under convoy of vice admiral Duckworth, in the Royal George, and at 5 P. M. was between the Ram Head and the Dodman, with a fair wind from the northward, and was expected to be clear of the Channel yesterday morning. The transports with the 45th, 87th, and 95th regiments, worked out of Stonehouse Pool, and we believe sailed for Falmouth, where it is said they are to rendezvous till other troops arrive, when they will all sail together. The Atlas , arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday from Spithead. The Fury , with the transports and store-ships, were hourly expected; the Atlas will sail with them as soon as they arrive.
Ten sail of transports, which sailed from the Isle of Wight on Sunday last, put back to Portsmouth yesterday, having been recalled.
The Skeleton Castle , Matilda , and Union East Indiamen , sailed on Wednesday from Plymouth, under convoy of the Glutton .
ARRIVAL OF THE LEEWARD ISLAND FLEET.
We are extremely happy to announce the safe arrival of the Leeward Island Fleet. The Dennis sch'r arrived at Spithead last night, with an account of their safe arrival in the Channel, under convoy of the Agamemnon and two frigates: It consists of upwards of 300 sail.
ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS.
September 19.
Tuesday the Right hon. Sir W. Scott proceeded to the adjudication of the following cases:
Horizon , M c Clure master.—This ship, under American colours, laden with a very valuable cargo, also some specie, and ingots of gold and silver on board, on a voyage from Montevideo to the port of London, was captured by his majesty's ship of war Diana , Thomas James Maling, Esq. commander, and brought to Portsmouth. It appeared in this case, that the ship and part of the cargo was claimed as property belonging to merchants at Hamburg. The court restored the ship and that part of the cargo claimed as American property, with freight and expenses, and condemned the Hamburg property on the ground of illegality.
Helena , Black master.—In this case the property was condemned to the captors: freight and expenses decreed to the neutral master: and the question of damage and demurrage reserved.
September 20.
Wednesday the right hon. Sir W. Scott proceeded to the adjudication of the following cases:
Twende Wenner , Rocloffs master.—This vessel, under American colours, with a cargo of cotton, cochineal, and other merchandise, on a voyage from Smyrna to Rotterdam, was captured by the indefatigable, James Twokey, commander, and brought to Plymouth.—In this case, further proof was directed as to the cargo, the ship having been already restored.
The Fox , Drummond master.—This American vessel, laden with a cargo of barilla, tent wine, and other articles, on a voyage from Alicante to a market, was captured by the private ship of war Betsey , Robert Harrison, commander, and brought to Plymouth. Ship restored, reserving freight and expenses; and further proof directed as to the property of the cargo.
The Asia , Pearce master.—This was also an American vessel, with a cargo of various merchandise.—Ship and cargo restored as claimed.
