character, would. In one single moment, forego all
his fair fame and reputetion, by coming before the
House to tell a palpable falsehood. If this motion
were to be eueouraged by the House, there
were persons of the utmost respectability ready
to come forward to speak to his general
'good character for probity and lionnur—he
noneit the Duke of Argyle and Earl Moira.—
Ile might also add, that General Clavering did not
mean to contend against.the opiuiun of the House,
but merely to throw himself upon its mercy, and
to mine forward to show lie never meant to mis-
guide the House. nor to conceal the truth, and
that he was willing to acknowledge his mistake.
Mr. Psacevtr. said, he hoped the I lot). Mins-
ber who had proposed this motion would yet yield
to what lind appeared the general wish of the
House, mid postpone this matter till after the
cousidenition of the other great question. This
he thought was necessary, is order that the House
might be thought to act with the utmost impel.-
tiality ; fur he by no means wished it, in order to
screen any individual whopi the House considered
as having prevaricated. In every point of view,
this was not a right time to enter von any par-
ticulars of the evidence, and he should then fore
put it to the Hon. Gentleman himself', whether it
would not be most proper to withdraw his motion
for the present, with an intention of bringing it
forwerd immediately after the investigation was
concluded ?
Mr. Witnearenter said, he was convinced the
Right Roo. Gentleimm opposite hail entirely the
seine object iu view as he himself and the Hon.
Mover had ; namely. ' that the matter should
be judged upon fair coustitutional principles. lie,
however, could not help thinking, that the
present time was the best adapted for the consider-
ation of such a suotiou; because Members would,
after the result of the pending investigation, be led
to judge of the degree of prevarication of this witness,
according as thedeciaion went rarer against his Royal
ilighilesa the Duke of York. Every such ques-
tion ought to stand entirely tiptoe its own grounds,
and ou4lit by no memos to become a matter of com-
promise. If, therefore, the House wished to sup-
port its character for impartiality, it should come
to a decision immediately, as to the point in
question. .
Mr. MATTHEW MONTAGME expressed his opi-
nion as to its being most conducive to the ends of
justice, not to proceed upon this nintioo sit present.
It was a matter involved in great difficulty ; am! it
must he most disagreeable, upon this occasion, for
ally our to give a vote, under all the existing cir-
cumstances.
Mr. CUARIAS SMTTII said, that he did hot
; mean to compere the evidence of General Claver-
ing with that of Captain Sandell; but still there
were many parts of the General's testimony which
I he thought highly objectionable: from sonic. parts
i of it, it was to be inferred, that he hail come for-
t ward for the purpose of invalidating the testimony
I of another Witness, in which case every holly must
see the necessity of his having clean llamas I ,ell':
i Mr. Waintosou said, he was desirous of pres-
sing that question! at au earlier moment, and,
$ hail he taker) it up. would have done so; as, how-
ever, it lead been deferred to the present period, lie
thought it expedient to postpone it until after the
, debate upon the great question. Ilk Riniunrable
i Friend, lie thought, was placed in u difficult situa-
tion, unless the Right Honourable Gentlemen op-
posite would moss., that the debate should lie ad-
jutuncil. lie begged to notice sum observation
that had fall. ii trout tkat Right Hisi ~,,, (-dile Gen-
tleiniiii ; lie had Stated that Captain Sandis.'s pre-
Valiation was upon one day, but that that of
Geiieral Cheering was to he dedueeil limn a com-
purism' of the evidince of two days; but surely
thin lettere that were produced up,',u the last slay
or his evidence, contradicted the evidence of that
slay-. mail had these letters been destroyed, he
would have gone out to the world us a fair and
Dusts, wached witness. An Honourable Friend of
his had stated, that it appeared from part of his
evidence, that he rattle to invalidate the evidenre
of another ; it dish not merely appear so, it actu-
ally ass SO. he same expressly for the purpose.
(Hear ! hear!) It hind also been stated, that the l.
elitise testimony of General (layering should be
dismissed, if the House proceeded to throw ilia-
credit upon it ; but that was not the case ; the cir-
cumstance of bringiug np a prisoner foot NCI%
gate to continue his evidence, was a proof that it
was not to be altogether dismissed. Ile concluded
with recommending an oitioumment.
Mr. PIACIIVAI, said, that lie had no objection to
an adjourinuent; his reason fot not making the mo-
tion at first was, lest he should be thought to give
an opposition to the investigation of General Chi-
veriug s evidence, which he had no idea of doing;
this explenation having taken place, he bud no ob.
4ection to move, "That the debate should be ad-
journed to that day se'nnight."
Mr. IVY nee said, his reason for not moving the
adjournmelit was. that his opiniou of the expe-
diency of deciding the question at that time was
not altered by what lie had heard. As, however,
the House appeared to think otherwise, he should
out resist their inclinetioe, by opposing the motion
now proposed. Ass Doti. Gentleman had observed,
that lithe I louse *arced to his motion, jt could not
refuse the applications of other Gentlemen upon
the port of the other Witnesses ; hut he thought
that they had at sill hisses a right to do so, and
could not conceive that the case would be altered
by the decision upon leis moons. The testimony
of 4( ;,,,,s. Chiveriug did not appear to him to of
the emir in it Melt it was....,iven, and that would jus-
tify Ilse Douse in deciding upon it, previous to the
cosisideration of the maims question, when others,
materially electing the ca 1..., could with equal jos-
lice he refinied. Ile hail done hie duty to the
coootry in !inning forward the !monies' as he

would be more fair, with respect to General Clatte-
ring, with respect to the House itself, and, what
wus fur more material, with respect to truth and
justice, that their minds should have time to re-
cover the agitation into which thoy must tee sit-
ceasarily thrown ; he would therefore recommend
Tuesday Sc' gilt as a more proper day, at the

Gesitlemaii was of a contrary opiniino
The CNANCIILLUS of the Excutuuxa and Mr.
Wrx NE both declared they had no objection; uud

Mr. WHITIIIWIAD stated, that lie intelided fol-
having up the notice lie lind given respecting
America, by moving au Address to llis Majesty,

GUMS towards that country.
CONIMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
Mr. MILEY COOPER stated, Bout a grant of
three distinct sums would be necessary for the en-
suing sear; the drat, 21.30.0001. to Is• appropriated
to the nary debts; the second, 00,0001. for u depot
of artillery and utainunitiira ; and the third,
113,0001. for coast defences.. Tisis hitter sum WY,
the great article in the Irish estimate.
It was then moved, That a burn not exceeding
4.5,3661. Id. should be granted."
General TaitLevos said, that lee would take ad-
vantage of that opportunity-, when they were going
to vote away such large ruins, to wake some ob-
Nervations on the inasiagenient of the army, and
the military uperations in which the present Mi.
iihstry were coin:ernes!. lie thought it an 11114C-
couutahle circumstance, that the :fist light dra-
goons should he sent t,i the Cape of Good !lope,
where they conl.l have nothing to do, mid that the
17th light drugoons should be seut to India, where
there was real service, though they were much
older men, and wore until tor service than the
former. The ,21st were 600 strong, nod should
have been sent in the place of the 17th. There
wits still soother cireuuntance, on which lie wished
to be informed ; it cos, why all operations were
delayed in the West Indies, until Guadeloupe was
relieved. anti an opportunity omitted of driving the
French from these seas? Some other points, of
deeper concern, he would now refer to. they re-
spected Portugal and St,uiu, and the conduct of
the war in those puns. flue first great error that
presented itself to his mind was in the fitting out
of the expedition, where the want of cavalry was
manifest; a greater and inure essential error than
that could tea. in his uppreliensiou, be made; lent
the t 7th light dragoons heen sent there, iiistend of
to the Cape, they would have rendered the most es-
sere.ial service to the cause. It appeared from the
dispatches of the gallant General opposite, that I
one troop of cavalry would have 'born of the most I
material service, mot that service would ham Lea
adequately rendered by the regiment lie had ul-
ready mentioned. lie was of opinion, that if
General Junot lied taken steps to prevent tie.
landing of the troops, lie might have enacted his
desigii ; at all events, lie would have put thrum to
considerable incouvenience, sod probably exposed
them to cousiderable loss. With respect to the
battle of Viureira, lie objected to the very exten-
sive position of our troops; and thought, that
though greet glory resulted from that action, yet,
if the army were disposed in a smaller coniviss, it
would must likely have been followed by wore
decisive coma-qui:awes. It hail been stated, he
observed, that there was danger that the •
enemy would take possession of Lisbon, and
defelid tlieniss lies iu that position froth the
attack of our troops; but no situut. could j
he inure disailvantageuus than Lisbon for such ,
defence ; w disadvantageous, thud the country
might have had the satisfaction of eteing Ge-
neral Jutuot a prisoner, hail he been pushed to
the extremity of dependieg upon 1111 effort in that
quarter. lie did not think that the French, re-
duced as they were from their late defeat, and pur-
sued by the English, exulting and comparatively
numerous from their recent vicirgy, could have
takeii and defended Lisbon. They could not, in
his op • have passed the Tagus. lie saw ne
grounds for supposing, that the Russians would
have assisted them to puss that river. when it ass
so manifestly against their own interests. Had the
Right llou. General objected to the arinistice, he
thought it 'sever would have been agreed to. The
Nliiiistry, lie contended, were culpable, in not haw,
ing sent persons, to investigate the Aide of Spun, end '
decide upon the prospects of success or failure, be-
fore the army was embarked, and assistance to so •
great an aktent contributed in a hopeless cause.
Bonaparte had committed a mistake in not sending
more troops to Spain in the first instance: we
ought to bare known the situation of that country
better than our enemies, having resolved to send
assistoradr. Ministers had so managed it. that our
troops joist landed in time to bear of The defeat if
the Blemish armies : he was also of opinion, that
the liritieh army under General Moore ought to
here retreated towards Lisboa, the length of the
mare'', he thought, would operate to deter the
enemy. Having taken this view of the conduct of k
the war, as it had been hitherto conducted. he im-
pressed upon Ministers the propriety of weighilig
maturely, before they revolted to any
i second mt-
tempt, especially as there was no port n Spirit' now
open to us; he asked wlwther 50,000 men, the ut-
most we could now afford, could, even if we WC-
ceeded is lauding them, promote the object to
which they were appointed? He would detain the
Committee no longer at present, but, buying stated
those: objections to the cabriolet of the war hitherto
pursued, he hoped that *mother attempt would nut
be mode without doe deliberative.
Sir A. %V ru.xstar .said, that though a hody of
cavalry would hare hewn of use in the battle ofitimei-
ra, it would .not be necessary at the Tagus, and he
hail Femme to expect the co-operation of the Portu-
guese cavalry en his arrival in that country; he
knew that there could not be more than half the
French force employed against him. As to the
complaint of the position of the army being tea
mach extended, be said, that if ever there was r '
contracted position, it was that of the army .pea

possible every General and other Officer had
agreed that it was not in their power to prevent it.
Seven General Officers had stated the eame.opiojeu
before the Court of Inquiry. This proved that he
had not adopted the idea without cause. The
Honourable General had stated, that if be (Sir A.
Wellesley) had advised a certain measure, that
measure would have been adopted; but the fiat
was, that though he was is that situation which
fitted him above all others to give advice, though

sews the confidence of Ministers; uotwithetending all
this, he had advised Sir H.Eurrard to two different
measures, olvidi.were both of them rcii-eted. lie
considered the tone of the Convention too low;
If sit it was not hie business to resist the jialguient
of a superior officer who had another conceptive of
it. He did not think that the Hon. Gen. dealt faide
with Ministers, when he charged them with wiist

ing the cause of Spain, but then it was a risk IlUC:1
as British soldiers were at all times ready to in.

that of being too careful of our soldiers. 'rite Spa.
Mel) plan of operations wars erroneousouni to that lIPO
were to attribute the,failure which had been at.
tempted to be throe n upon the Ministers of this
country. With respect to the line of retreat, he
was sure that the officer who cowductrd it had his
reasons for aeleetiag the one in which he proceed .d;
and. generally speaking, he would undertake to
pay, that u shorter hoc of retreat was preferable t..
longer. Ile apologized to the Committee for
having detained thaws so long ; but as the Ho-
nourable Geneva' was determined to have a debate
upon the subject, he could not avoid saying so
much.
Gerirnal TARLIIToIf said a few words in 'nolo.
nation of his former opinion.
Mr. Wmaraasais remarked. that the night 1,
lion. General had stated, that Sir Harry Burrurd
ought to have adopted his oi ns. and that he
knew that lie (Sir Arthur) powlessed the routidenee
of the Noble Lord who was at the head of the wise
department. This rendered the cue of Sir Harry
Ilitrrard hard indeed; because, if the eveut had
been at:elided with outwear, the merit would hoes
been Sir Arthur's, bet defeat would bare been his
own.
Sir ARTHUR Wri.testate explained. that lie,
never had, nor never would accuse Sir Burry Bur-
rani ; but when lit was told that he was respom
Bible for whet had passed after Sir Harry Burtard
bad taken the command of the army, he felt him-
self bound to elder iuto explanatioits. lie cer-
tainly hail been in the habits of cunficieece with
Ministers ; but Sir Harry iiiiKht not have know% •
it. The letter to Slf Hurry ou the subject was
merely one of tecolumendation to take his advice :
but ceriai dy he wed not bound upon any prin.
eiple to follow it.
Dlr. CeLcaarr ended the discussion, by advert-
ing to other points in the estimates, upon which he
• wished fur information. The first was, respecting
stilt private pensionsoitthe Ordnance Establishment,
Widen had increased, *is year. 10,0001.; and last
year, 1 2.0001. making an ramose in both years of
43.0001. The next was n soil of 45,0001. for the
new worki currying on at Plymouth. Upon this
subject, he conceived the House should be first
informed of the work. intended to be constructed
there, before they were culled on to vote such a
sum in part erection of them. He ulso found the
•surn of 397.0uti1. fur 'trine for foreign service. Of
these he wished to ktiow what eplautity had been
sent to Spoils ? Iseesust lie heard complaints of a
want of armi there. There was also an liens of
600,0001. lOr sultpetre, which seemed to be ex-
plained as if it were intended that we should he a
depot for ordnance for all the world.
Mr. Asn Lev COOTER stuted, that gOO,OOO stand
charms had been sent to Spain, of which if appear-
ed by Borraperte's fifteenth Bulletin, 140,000 stanch
had been seised by the Freach in Madrid. The
Pension List had been increased is or 16,0001. by
the addition which it had been found reasonable to
make to the older pensioners on the establishusent.
With respect to saltpetre, it certaintly was not in-
tended to supply Europe with it. but merely to
have a supply for wherever it should he net ember/
to send it. The addition was alsu chargeable ail
the ierreased price of the article.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said. the question of arms
would mare properly come wider discussion is
another shape before the Howse, and he would
therefiire confine himself merely to an outline.-
9.00,000 wend of arms had beers certainly sent to
Spain and Portugal, to all parts, East, West, and
South, of which 170,000 had actually been received.
and the other 30,000 were on their way there; but
as to their disposition, after they had arrived, be
did not conceive Government. answerable. The
wonder was, after the ixertioos of Govern-
ment in former supplies to Austria, Rivuma.
Sweden, At% &c. that so much could be effeetc.l.

PE iCE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND TURKEY.

We have received Dutch Papers to the leth last,
the contests of which are of importance. It is
stated in an article dated Vienna, the Bth last, that
• treaty of peace between England and Turkey
was signed at Constantinople on the sth of Ja-
nuary. It was nrgociated by Mr. ADAIR, and the
Turkish Minister, IIAaLI EFFENDI. The Russian
Lienerals bad, in consequence, broken off all com-
munication with the Turks. This important event
is said to have been produced by a new cud san-
guinary insurrection of the Janitsaries in Constanti-
nople.
Another article in the Dutch papers, dated Lint:,
February the dth, will be read with interest, as it
strongly corroborates the reports of the probable
renewal of war between Austria and France. Mi-
litary preparations are making, and magazines are
funning in Bohemia and Austria, and a new general
levy is spoken of. The whole of the gustrian re-
gular force is estimated at 143.000 men, but it is
very deficient in artillery. In the event of a war,
it will be divided into two corps, one under the
Archduke FERDINAND, in Bohemia. and the other
iu Carniola and Carinthia, under Conut BELLE-
••••.nc. The Archduke CHARLES low been ap-
pointed Adjutant to the Empalme but will not
have a command. as it is understond he dimly•
proves of a war with France at this moment.
The accounts from Spain. in the Deitch Papers.
are to the kith or January, at which time JUN OT

They then directed their course for Admiral Stop-

On the following day the Saint, fell in with the

The case of G mere. .-e.aysitike was discussed
last night in the House of Commons. The final
decision upon it was. postponed until Tuesday
se'nnight.
In a desultory conversation, which took place last
night in the House of Commons, upon the late
Campaign in Portugal, Sir ARTEMIS WF.LLESEST
complained that Geueral Bs:lamina did not follow
' his advice after the battle of Vinteire.
Extract of a letter from Captain novas, of the
Harmony, dated Cirlserrum, 29th January, 1809 :
There are about 60 sail in this port bound to En-
gland. The last convoy sailed from hence on 22d,
with His ilantsfrir's ship Sakttie, but only nine
vessels got out of the ice. 1 sailed on the sth inst.
under convoy of His MAJESTY'S ship Orion and
three cutter brigs, with almut 70 sail. The dent
was dispersed in all directions; the men of war
brought tai under Bornholm, with 14 sail only ;
neatly half the fleet are missing. I saw the Danes
capture two of theta). We have accounts here of
20 sail being captured and four lost. On the 14th
I arrived here in companywith about 14 soil ; on
tlio 16th, 17th, and lath, about twenty sail more
arrived."
The public will derive much satisfaction in
being informed that the reports of the great morta-
lity amongst the troops lately disembarked at
Ramsgate, are entirely void of truth--aliont six
hundred men have been received into the hospital;
out of which nnnther. not more than tomptv-three

Jim President on the OCCUIPIOU addressed the King
in the hollowing words:—
" stets—it:is now several years that our resolutions re's.
tire to the Ilud;p1 have borne the impression of ;aid, occa-
sioned by the ineressing waste the kingdom. We expe-
SiMsee this sentiment still, and your Majesty, we know,
AWN it We coastal bare wished, that the soul necessary
for the ripens, s of the follusinK year hard been less, but •
eunelbrrence of mint ilitSetilt eiscunistauces has opposed
this. It is with so murk the more irrntituale that we see the
amount of the expenses diminished ten millions, a easing
which we owe to the 'steroid owes of Ills Majesty for has
subjarts.
" Nevertheless, Sire, we recognise the theirelty of one
sitashao, and the impossibility of st.pplling thew wants by
Jhr "minor reweave ' • and we feel, that this situation caw
ant be by useless Isinentation The interest of
the kingdom amaninds na to concur with your Majesty is
the hest bradenesiare meassres, lay silopticg those which, is
bin whams and prudence, be has propusi.d for the general
weave.

We hope that your constant desire to effert, is future, a
diminution Of expense, by all tioAtilde *swinge, will hare all
happy result, and that yon will attain* the cud vou propos,'
of for ' g :it kmgth a pormatieut Budget, built upon cer-
tain calvidatnins, in order that, with the assistance of the
Almighty, and under the wise Government of your Majesty.
we may rem h the year 1825. Under this point of view your
Majesty will he still the saviour and Jeetiefactor of a happy
and grateful people."

that this unfortunate woman had harboured the
desperate design in her mind for seven years past,

which she perpetrated the crime. She had been
ssuctal times seen uliont Mr. 11.'s premises, anal
on Sunday morning., shu was seen 1)1•Innd the door

part ; she had 'remained in the bents and build-
lugs till Monday night, waiting the hints, keeper's
going to bed ; she then, through a window, saw Mr.
B. sitting Ire the lire asleep ; she then opened the
door, witch was-only no the latch, and after sour.
time wailk;ag about the town, .he discharged tile
pistol at his head, two slogs struck him—one did
but little esceittioti ; tho oilier has sitter been ex-
tracted from his skull, which lots been tre-
panned by Mr. VICKERS ; and, owing to his great
skill and attention,hopesureentertaineal of recovery.
The young 50111511 was brought to prison by the

most tender and Initnatie manlier. This mon
lived 18 days after the battle, :rut then* expired.
Curiosity, and -a wish to observe- the progress of
the ball, induced Mr. FUCIE to open the body, and
he found that the ball hail entered the right

LAW 1111TELLII.,:fac.E.
COURT OF KlMl'kt BENCH, Blanca s.
GRIFFVHIfE LINCIDAIII.
In this case, it appeared that the Plaintiff had
employed Defendant to receive and sell, un his ac-
count, a great quantity of Cliampaigiic wine.—The
wine had been received in the year 1802, from
Rouen, by the a.lendant, and suffered to remain
by him in his cellars, unpacked, for nearly four
years, in consequence-of which a loss was sow
tanned of 437 bottles, by bursting, breaking, and
other accidents, for which loss Plaintiff now sought
coinpensatioa, contending that it originated in the
want of attention of Defendaut ; which being
made oat in evidence. the. Jury gave their verdict
for Plaintiff—Damages .ClBO.
RUDELY V. RANDS.
This was an action to ll:miter the sun, of 1001. 2s.
for a loss sustained .by Manna, in consequence of
the neglect of tV Defendant or his Agents.
The Defendant is the owner of a courting ves-
sel, the Gensbitr, and was engaged to bring from
Southampton to London L pinielieon of brandy,
containing 120 gallons; when the puncheon ar-
rived, it was discovered that upwards of 90 gallons
of the brandy had escaped, which was said to have
leaked out, owing to the unskilful manner in which
the puncheon had beet' stowed; and consequently
that the Defendant was bound to make good the'
loss. He however tiVill4l that the loss WAS so oc-
casioned, and attributed it to the rongli,wcatlier
which. they met coining round the Nottli
land, which shifted the position of the puncheon,
and occasioned it to leak.
The Jury were of a different opinion, and gave
their verdict for Plniutitf, 1001.25.
'lke trials by Common Juries were finished this
il.iy, and to-worrow the Special Jury causes com-
mence.
COURT OF ut/MitION PLEAS, Malice s. •
DARRAND O. LEVI.
This was an action brought to recover a penalty
(ruin she Defendant for having used the name of
the Plaintiff spoil a elireuunieter, contrary to the
statute, which bad not been made by him.
Mr. Serjeaut IlysT, on the part of the Defend-
ant, admitted Ilie fact, lint steed, that he bail
used the name without knowing it to.be illegal ; he
then sub-1 that his client was willing that a riddle'.
should betaken agaiiist him for thirty guineas, u.
which the ace tided.
Mr. Syr:paid Siterfican, for the Plailitiff, ac-
know lcdgeit his assent, but wished it to be %tailor-
stivd that Mr. Barrund did not receive this SUM,
conceiving it to be a sufficient compensation for
the injury he had or might sustains by the Defend-
aiii's comlnet; for when a elgonoineter was found
defectiie, the first imptiry was, who made it? cud
then Plaintes name appearing, it might, and in
all probability would, isiyure his reputation. He
hail +leen put to the expense of thirty guineas in
track; the person who ho.l thus used hie name,
end he h,d accepted that s-tis ninety to cover his
exill'll,4's, Mkt to put an ei ,o the snit.
The Jars occoodingly returned a verdict for '
