The Russian Central, Siniavin, duri.:g his day
at Caftaro, solicited the inhabitants to c•rtity, in
writing, that it was themselves who bad invited the
Russians. The Greeks, as might he espeded, com-
plied, but the Catholics refused ; from the conduct
of this general, we might he led to imagine, that
what is done in the Black Sea, and the Adriatic, is
done without the knowledge of the cabinet of St.
Petersburgh, and that it is a measure of the Russian
Agents themselves ; who, as well in negociations,
as in military enterprises, take advantage of the dis-
tance they may be front the seat of government, to
act according to their caprice.

. CROWN SIDE.
Francis Barcelona, a native of Corsica, was charged
with :slaking a violent and unpioviihed assault nn
the person of Charles Hulsen, of the parish of
Snaith, by repeatedly striking him on the head with.
an iron poker.
Mr. HA soy, in stating the case on the part of the
prosecution, observed, that the singular chataeler
at the Bar, was a native of Corsica, and claimed
! some affinity with the present Emperor of France ;
a claim which, he must confess, derived considerable
plausibility from the similarity which existed
tween the charader and disposition of these two
pet swages. In fall, the Prisoner had become al-
most as formidable in the county of York, as his
relatian was on the C3ntinent of Europe. Mr.
Hardy, adverting to the circumstance of the Pri-
soner hay.ng occasioned the death of Mr. Plummer,
of Beverley, by a similar assault, said, in this re-
spell he was certainly inferior to his illustrious re-
lative, for the Prisoner could only break Crwswis,

lish but very imperfely, was attended by. inter-
preter, who repeated to him the evidence of the
witness. 'I he Prisoner said, what was said was all
very true; and that he could have beaten an hun-
dred men if they had been there. As the Prisoner
alleged nothing in justifieation of his conduft, the
J.iry, without tesaition, found him—Guilty.
Tre general condutt and deportment set the Pri-
soner evinced such a degree of brutal and savage
ideotism, as seemed to render him more fit for the
confinement of a mad-house, than the restraint of a
common prison.
l he Judge, in passing sentence upon the Prisoner,
observed, that he appeared to have a disposition
truly diabolical, and that the safety of society ren-
dered it improper to put it in his power to commit
any future outrage upon society ; and he trusted,
that some steps would be adopted to prevent his
ever being set at large; at present, he should sen-
tence him.to—no.vtars imprisonment.

credit on the m:ritorious Officers commanding them.
The relaxation naturally attendant, or consequent,

approbation of such a General is really animating

Wilson went home in the Adamant.. The Fortuna,
Danish brig, (veined at 2°,0001) has been taken
by the garrison at Cape Town, and the property
relinquished by the claimants, as fair prize property.

Dutch Gnvetnnumt in Holland, to Admiral Hart-

The expelled I.le,.ienger from France had not ar-
. rived at a late hour last night. This delay it ac-
tounted for by sap,:osing, that the French Govern-
meat seeks to procrastinate until the arrival of dis-
patches horn St. Peteisburgh, and that the Earl
mf LAUDERDALE of course had nothing important
to communicate. Not knowing the precise state of
the pegociation, it is impossible for us to say whe-
ther the demand of time, if such is the fat, be rea-
sonable or not. It is to be presumed, however, that
- a satisfadory cause has been assigned by the
French Govetnment, and that Lord LAUDERDALE
• , will not suffer himself to be trifled with. Mean-
. while a renewal of the war upon the Continent be-
comes every day mire probable. Priiate letters
state, that His Prussian Majesty has notified, by
a special Messenger, dispatched to Paris, his fixed
determination to refuse any farther cessions of his
territory, and that the King of Sweeten, sacrificing
Ttis resentment to the common cause, will co-operate
with Prussia. Every thing that is generous may
`• be espeded from that brave and high spirited
Prince; bu,, without the aid of Russia, an attempt
• now for the deliverance of Europe would only
rivet her fetters. With all the energy and tativity
of the Archduke Cit•a es, years must elapse before
Ait,tria can raise her head. Should she attempt to
move, haace has A:1 Army ht Germany ready to
crush her. Russia is, therefore, the only hope of a
confeieracy that could affi.rd a reasonable ex-
. Pedation of effeeisal resistance to France; hut
with the experience of the third coalition, it is
1. • likely she would net move until she saw Prussia
completely committed in hostilities with France

as he ought, the honour which the Freeholders had
conferred on him, by the vote they had just c, -me
to; and he hoped and trusted, that the late charge
in the Administration, was net only a change of
men, but a change of mrasUres alto. This certainly
• would be the case, if Mr. rex had that weight in
the Cabinet, which his talents entitled him to, and
which would compel all ranks of persons to come
forward, and at k-owledge the wisdom of his mea-
sures. He conceived Mr. Fox had all the requi-
sites which a man could possibly have, for ciirening
a great nation to the true path of glory : and if any
I man could raise the country from the state she was
at present in. it was that great personage. Ile
sever, he was convinced, would govero the people
by means of their feari; he would never insult their
feelings; but would appeal to their spirit. When
men saw such an Administration, they would come
forward, one and all, and arm in defence of their
: country ; because, it was a country which might be
considered worth fighting fur. The present Admi-
i nisttation was one %hie!' would have his firm sup-

' disinterested, as his opposition to the former had
been ; being firmiy determined never, under any
circumstances whatever, to hold a pla.-e under Go-

themselves always ready to aa according to the
wish of t' e county.

OPERA• 1101.31.
Last night a new Comic Opera was pro lure I,
called ll Principe di Torento ; the music by Pa eat ;
in which twe Comic Performers, Signor SIIIOII
and Signora Pzarsr, made their first appearance in
this country; they were received, on their entrance,
with all the liberality and encouragement cha-
rafteristie of a British audience. Madame PERINI
appears to be about thirty, her figure short, and en
bon Nine; her face not handsome. but possesses very
good comic expressinn ; she has fine black eyes, and
beautiful teeth ; her aeion easy and very lively, and
appeared quite mistress of the stage ; her compass
and stile of singi • bear a strong similitude to that
favcurite singer Signora Svorrecx. The interest
of the piece is excited by a young Princess having
been confined in a tower, and having made her es-
cape. The Keeper prevails on Retina, a country girl,
to become her substitute The support of this charac-
ter gave the SIONORA an opportunity of displaying
her comic talents to much advantage. She was rap-
turously encored in a charming duet ssith NAI.III,
who was in fine voice and spirits, and they boil)
received great applause. Signor Si Dorsi is about
fi►e and twenty ; his voice is pleasing, but does not
display much compass, and he possesses a consider-
able share of science; he was Lest splendidly
dressed. Signora GIIOLIZTTI was very interest-
ing in the runaway Prowess, and was much ap
plstuded in the beautiful air Per sne se le stoke.
All the fashion in town were present.

Last night, Miss RAY, kr the first tim'S, appear-
ed on the London boards, in the past of Amelia
Wild, arum, in Korzteues comedy of Lovers' rows.
Miss RAv's age and appearance are adapted to give
every eased to the innocent afiseflior!ate Amelia
frildeadieire. Iler performance was quite original ;
and if she was less simple than her p,edvcrssors,
she was pethaps more natural ; on the whole, she de-
wrved the very great applause she received, parti.u•
larly in the scene with the Faroe, when she revealed
her love for Anhait, and was not leis successful than

former was completely se2i:zed, what was brought
forth ? A Soldier for limited ; (4 laysh)
useless to his Country ! (as had been said of Sol-
diers for limited Service) a bad example to others!
and the sympathy between lilin and the men in the
lire—not raised in the same district, and having
no connection or intimacy !-L-was to induce him to
become a Regular Soldier. His Right Honourable
Friend (Mr. Windham) has been said to be intro-
ducing a sentimuNtal system ; but, unlike the ground-
work of this Bill, his philosophy accorded with a
principle that had been acknowledged and approved
in all ages. The persons charged with the men-
tion of this Aft, and the Army of Reserve Act.
had been obliged to resort to the very thing which
it was the protessed object of the Bill to remedy.
It was proposed to disiocumber the Recruiting
Service, and allow a fair field to act on ; but from
the following statement, it would be seen how that
object had been attained : From the Ist of Feb. to
the Ist of Aults.t, 1803, 6538 men were raised by
regular recruiling ; in the next six months, when
the Army of Reserve Ao begat to operate, 4504
men were obtained; in the following six, 3,7G9
men ; during the next six months, the Army of
Reserve Asa ceased, and 5,949 men were raised by

recruiti, ; during the like succeeding period, in
which the aR had no operation,. at all, 6,698 men
were raised; and, during the Irv, six months, when
Lord Hawkesbury's notable Additional Force Bill
commenced its course. the recruiting fell again to
4,450 men; and, during the pt tied of the operation
of the Act, 1,9439 men has been the greatest number
raised by it in six mon.,:ts. From, the Ist of Feb. to
the end a Sept. 1804,'Y',461tar reciults over.
obtained ; in the like period of I t;.).1. 5,744 ; leav-
ing a diference of 1,718. In the tit st three mouths
et 1805, 3,562 rectuits weie t ai.. d ; and, in the
like period of litOti, only 2,507. Hence it ap-
peared, that. the whole number of men raised
by the Additional Force Bill, was 91Y.) less than
the recruitiog service, which had been iojtircd by the
operation of that important invr.iment (Hear!
hear !). The Noble Lord concluded with a
few general observations. Whilst the Aft con-
tinned, he said, it would preclude the suppres-
sion of crimping, and destroy the character and
spirit of the soldier. It had departed from all
the means it was intended to embrace, and he

vexatious proceeding on the part of the Gentlemen
opposite.
Mr. YORKE moved, that the Chairman do now
leave the Chair. This induced a long conversa-
tion between nearly the same Members.
The SPE.AE.ER gave it as his opinion that this
motion might be repeated frequently in the course
of a night, because, though it tinight not be fit at
a preceding moment, it might be tit at a subsequent
one
Mr. WILLIAM SMITH said, he never witnessed
such a piocceding.
Mr. FOX obsawed, that unless the House sitecld
adopt some strong measure,. a kw gendemeri, by
taking the present course, might at Noy time de-
feat and obstred all public business.
The House then divided on the motion, that the
Chairman do now leave the chair, which was ne-
gatived. Ayes s'2—noes 133.
It was then moved, that the clause be read a
secord time. and a debate ensued.
The SPEAKER said, that the House was in a
very undesirable stat/, and recommended that the
clause should be read a second time, and that the
debate upon t:oe principle should take place when
i the motion should come to be made, that the clause
do stand part of the B;11.
Visemint CASTLEREAGH and Mr. STUR-
GES BOURNE contended for an opportunity of
debating the principle in the present stage. •
Mr. WM. SMITH and Lord HENRY PETTY
spoke against it.
Many ineffeEdual eff arts were made to compro-
mise the business, Mr. SHERIDAN at length said,
that as he saw the Gentlemen were deter-
mined not ato give up any point, he would re-
commend if to twenty or thirty cf his friends to go
home, sleep for a few hours, and get their break-
fasts; after which they might come back fresh, and
relieve wearied companions.
This speech was hailed with load acclamations ;
but shortly after, on the motion of Mr. WI LBRA-
HAM BOOTLE, who stated, that, though the
mode in which the House was proceeding might be
entertaining to some of the Members, yet it should
not be laid befora the public; the
„strangers were
ordered to withdraw.
After about half an hour's further Debate, ace
understand, on the suggestion of the Speaker, it
was agreed that an amendment should be proposed,
pro forma, on Monday, so as to permit of a further
discussion on the principle of the clause.
The Chairman was then permitted to ler.ye the
chair, when he reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again.—Adjourned at HALF PAIL'
SIX O'CLOCK, until Monday.

were sugandited and anesatnined ; but he did not
conceive bow any misunderstanding could prevail
upon it, as be held out no espe6tatioo that it would
be asltilalsle ti the public.
IPSE said, that he did not gape& the

only a few hours printed, and the papers s. which
it referred were only four or five days on the table.

Lord CASTLEREAGH mid, as the Maw
seemed now to have adopted the proposition for
the repeal of the net, it ss as in ...In for him to re-
new his objeaions to that cowrie of proceeding.
The question now was as to the wisdom of return-
Mg the fines, and he was firmly of upunioN under
all the ciicutnstances of their becoming dice,
that by so doing, the Legislature would sur-
render its authority and its msPeliability. He
doubted whether the Committee was proceed..
ing formally in the discussion of such a questionr•
as the money must be considered to hare been
paid into the exchequer, and to be now et the dis-
posal of the Exceptive Gown nthent, for We purposes
of the country at large. He apprehended no injury
would result, if Pat lianaent would appoint some time
by which the defaulting parishes should be required to
furnish the men, or be suhjeeted to the infl:aion of
the fine. If they were re Illy to :are the money
returned, compensation ought certainly to be made
to those which had furnished men at so gteat
an expenee, as well u: der this At as under the
Army of Reserve. Th • Militia laws, and all
military measures were liable to the same objec-
tions, with respell to penalties. as the Additipnal
Force Bill ; but the existing Militia Lew, par-
ticularly, as under them a parish might become

The Hon. Captai❑ Cochrane, late of llis Ma-
j.,-ty's sloop Kingfisher, arrived early this morning
with dispatches from Vice-Admiral Sir J. T. Duck-
worth, K.B. dated off the town of St. Domingo,
on the 7th and Sth Ultimo, giving an account of his
having, on the 6th of that month, discovered a
squadron of French ships, consisting of five sail of
the line (one of them, L'lmperiale, of three decks),
two frigates, and one corvette, at anchor in the Bay
of St. Domingo, which, with the squadron under
his command, consisting of seven sail of the line,
two frigates, and two sloops, he immediately at-
tacked, and, after an aelion of two hours, he entirely
defeated.
Three ships of the enemy's line fell into his
hands, and two (including the three-decker, bearing
Rear-Admiral Le Seigle's flag), were driven on
shore in a disabled state, and afterwards taken pos-
session of, and burned. The frigate and corvette
effected their escape.
The killed and wounded on hoard the enemy's
ships ate supposed to exceed twelve;hundred men ;
one ship lost three hundred. The loss in His Ma-
jesty's ships, in killed and wounded, amounted to
three hundred and thirty-eight. No British Officer
was killed. The. Hon. Captain Stopford, was
slightly, and Lieutenant Seymour, of the Nor-
thumberland (which ship suffered the most in the
aftion), severely wounded ; but the latter is since
recovered, and arrived in the Kingfisher.
The Vice-Admiral had proceeded with hi:: prizes
to Janiaica.

An Order fat n the Postnaaners was received last
evening, at the Foreign Orifice, eat to make op •
Mail for Hamt..sh, still evening ; but, it the Mer-
chants so wished, to send their letters by way of
Gottenhurgh.
The Ihreseey, Boy es, of Hull, arrived at that
poet en Friday, from Braaten. He left the Weser
on the lath inst. in convequence of part of the Dutch
army having entered and taken possessi..n of the
Duchy of Oldenburg, and the custom Himse at
Elideeth, and disbanded all the Oldenburg troops
The Dutch bad t,ot entered Ure men when Captain

would, but they were marching down with artiU ry
to Brernmlee. CAe:a, Fosree, of Hull, for
London; and the irtgivni, FOIT Ca. of Newcastle,
for Hull, both loaded', sailed alor.g with the Harr
assay. Capt. Boras was obliged to come away with
part of his outward csrgo, as was a easel for L in-
dam. The Hamburgh skips, Capt. Boy as heard,
were at Glucksradt. Capt. Boy Ls states, that he
heard an account read from a German paper, of
the &Rion fought at Lubeck, between the French
and a part of the Prussian hussars, in which the lat-
ter ware all either taken prisoners er dispersed.—
About SOO of the French troops were killed, and
SOO of the Prussians, the number of the wounded
was immense ; 40 or 30 houses were destroyed ; and
the damage the town bad sustained was estimated
at near two millions. He understood that Magde-
burg bad nOt surrendered ; as reported in the Dutch
papers. The French had only left a snail body of
troops to mask it, while they pursued the scattered
division of the Prussian army.
A letter from Cuxhaven, dated Nov. ISth, says,
" An order is seceived, that so packet in future shall
come here from England, and the only remaining
packet, the Mama, Capt. ST EWA II T. a schooner,
is ordered to proceed from hence to H 1142118. The
British Agent eery prudently determined, that the
last Mail from England should not be forwarded to
Hamburgh, and he took the precaution of putting
it on board the schooner, until he should receive
some positive instrunions regarding it from Mr
Tisolwros, the British Minister, who, after nar•
rosily escaping Irons the French, continues in Da-
nish Holstein, until he shall be able to determine
on the place of his residence, in the novel and sin-
gular predicament of Continental affairs. One of
