acquitted. On the close of the Court Martial, the
President expressed himself happy, that it fell to his
lot to return him his sword, which had been so ho-
nourably drawn in the cause of his country, and
made no doubt, when his service was again called
on, his conduct would be equally conspicuous.

We have received Dutch Papers to the bth inst.
and Paris Paisers to the 31st last. The former state,
that three Austrians of distindion have been pin
under arrest at Paris in retaliation fur the arrest of
the two French Spies lately taken up at Venice.—
The Malifrur, however, states, that Bos A ',IRIS'S
reprisals only extend to one Austrian, an Auhc
k:ett of rivnno ; hut, on receipt of intelligence
that M. PROM and M. COST stazo, the two French
spies, were at large, and the process against them
diccontinued, the Aulic Counsellor of Vienna was set
atl.berty. Here then the matter will probably rest for
4he present, but it has left an impression that will
not be soon defaced, and plainly shews the smaller-
ed Illstility that subsists between the two countries.
The two French spies, whom curiosity led at this
particular and critical moment to visit the fortresses
of Venice, are considered two of the best Lngineers
in tl:e French service. The Dutch Papers proceed
in the same strain as those received on Sunday, and
announce aaive preparations for an Expedition in
the Dutch ports.

hackn-y-coach e.-altri for his Lordship, in Down-
ie t, and took him from Mr. Pic I's house.
The fullowing mornMg, his Lorili.hip went to
Mr. Puy at Wimbled.m. Earl Setticcs, we
svider•tat.si, attended the Board on Wednesday
se'imight also. We may fairly presume that
these tsou Noblemen. the immediate predeces-
sors of Lord B AkilA m in office. attended at his re-
quest upon the important business then berme the
Borad. It is worthy of Britons to forget all party
views and personal considerations at such a moment.
How grateful to Britons to behold the Int and the
Out:, the exalted and the humbled, uniting their
talents upon such an occasion for their country's
good ! !
