We do not ievollect to have witnessed a greater
degree of gloom mid anxiety pervading the public
oni.lll, than on this day. The 11inisterial edliereets
the greatest depression, and are already oc-
cupied in calculating how many of our army in
Gullicia will be taken prisoners, and how many will
all. or :pity eretet their escape. A list of the Of-
ficers of noble families, now"serving is the army
ruder Sir Joss Moose, was handed about at
Wairritts, last night. It ceNtained the names of
sevemty-seven individuals ; among wives we re-
marked three Petters ; three. Betertscss, all smut
of the Duke of PONTIAND ; Lord Wil.l.lAlll, Lord
CitaaLts, anti Lord FltEDEittck BENTISIcit ; three
PAGET*, and three CAVESIOISHO.II ; two MANNER%
Lord CIIMILES and Lord it,attr, brothers of the
Duke of RIITLAND • two STANSOTIts, besides
Oae"ie, SEY3lloofts, NitYILSAYS, and a long number
of others. It was agitated in a great company,
yesterday, whether Bolt SPARTE would. or would
not, grant quarter to the English forces ?and it was
decided is the affirmative. We conceive, never-
theless, that these apprehensions are exaggerated;
but it is generally believed, that Governineet has
suppressed, or materially altered, a pert of Sir
Ruts Moose's dispatches. It is, indeed, difficult
to conceive that he should have made no mention
whatever, in his letter, of Roxturta, or of his arms.
Such u silence would be, in fact, more eloquent
than any expressions of disapprobation. That
the British cavalry fund be sacrificed, in order to
insure the safety, or the re-embarkation of the in-
fantry, seems to be generally apprehended and ad-
mitted. We give these features of the general
despondency, without either expressing our assent,
or our disbelief of them. No doubt, our satiation,
by the last accounts, is of a nature to excite just
alarm. Yet, many reasons preclude despair, and
we ure not in possession of farts sufficieet, respect-
lug the enemy's force, to authorise any hasty con-
clusions. Accounts are handy, and, we used not
I add, impatiently exported.

holders under the towrwl.ip of hlancheofes, for
time to collect further evidence. They bad already
examined ninety. witnesses, touching the matters
in dispute, and they wished to examine seventy
wore. It apiatired that the I'laintifi. was the
letoer, of the tithe, of Manchester, and, to use the
allusion of the Learned Counsel, he was adventur-
ing the expenses of a suit in Chancery, in a legal
Lottery, iu hopes of gaining a prize of '21,0001.;
or, in other words, he was endeavouring to increase
the modissites iu hea of tithes, in a pretzortion that
would benefit him. Should he suecee.l, his into-
rosts and ernolittnt tits Would be raised from two to
twenty thousnitil per annum. The landholders,
