LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1819.

Letters have been received from the Monarch,
of 22 guns, dated IGth February last, off St. Kitt's,
stating that the had captured a Spanish brig, laden
with aine, brandy, &c. valued at 50,000 dollars,
which she had fallen in with on the Sih, then iu
pm:session of a pirate, and sent her for Aux Cayes.
The pirate effected her escape. The Monarch is
one of the ships that sailed from the Downs in the
latter end of December, with troops and military
stores fur the Insurgents in South America. The
officers, soldiers, and crew, were all in high health
and spirits.

The Bill fur regulating the Windsor Establish-
ment, and for granting an annuity of 10,000% to
the Duke of YORK, as (Antos Persona, gave occa-
sion last evening to au animated debate in the
House of Lords. The grant WAS opposed by Early
GREY, DARNLEY, and the Marquis of LANs-
DOWN ; but the Bill linalTy passed through the
Committee without a division.

The Sun of last night has made a notable dis-
covery in our observations of yesterday, upon the
difference of the statements made by the CHAN-
CELLOR of the ExclisAirtn, the FIRST LORD of
the TREASURY, and Messrs. GREN FELL and TIER-
NET, respecting the anioutit of the balances of the
Exchequer in the Bank, available under the new
Rill to the public service, which has been severally
stated by them at three, four, and six millions.—
The Sow has discovered that THE BRITISH PRESS
was jocular, but we regret that we cannot congra-
tulate that Print upon its bagicity in this instance.
A difference of three millions sterling is no
trifle, even in the enormous expenditure of the
country—it is no trifle in a country, the yearly
expenditure of which is twelve millions more than
its meatus. This is too serious a subject for mirth,
and it would have argued very bad taste indeed
to have mixed jocularity with our obstrvations.
