APPROPRIATION BILL.

The Earl of LAVOLannt.edeeineil it very extra-
ordinary that the cuoary granted to the view Col-
lege should not have come up to that house in a
.separate Bill, and not in the general Appropria-
tion Ifia. Higeonaidered the mode of incorporm-
tin; such greats n. iai. B►ll, UF an innovation upon
the rights of that finoie. and what iris *bill more•
unprecedented. it contained n grant of a million
and a halt' to the East India Company. Non if
their I.ordshipsshould give their orient to the Bill,
'main so enormous ■ grant of the public Money,
they would do so, he contended, without any in-
formation whatever, upon which they could term a
judgment whet!). r, they were doing that which was
right. His Lordship then pointed out the mystery•
of that information afforded the House, respecting
this g rant ; after which lie named, " That a Mrs.
angels.. sent to the House of Commons, requesting
there he laid before their Lordships the Report of
the Select Committee relating to the Adair* of
lochs."

The Earl of Soren t and, that it was a subject
of great ;snort:Lace, and that the Affairs of the
East 1 ,din Company ought to bit inquired into;
anti such wits their iiiimagtinent, that he believed
it would be better for this country that the East
India Company lose their itoasessiona in that quar-
ter of the globe altogether, anti it might be desira-
ble tbgt such en event should happen soon, tether
that increase our grants of large sums of the pub-
lic money.
Lord Ilawirsaver contended, that in respect
to the grant wade to Muynorah College, nothing
had been Ii toe upon this occasion, taut what the
legislature read done with regard to Bremer giants
of this ovule to the same College. When the
last grant was voted by the House of Commons, it
was incorronve.. in the Appropistion Aet, and if
there was no notection at that time, be did nut
perceive is by it chould hare been included in a se-
parate bilt at this true. 'lase principle of not in-
.eluding in inch a hill, such grants as might have a
tendency to cause their Lordships' dissent to the
Bill altogether, was one which ought t., ise attended
to, and nil heeu considered in Mr. iealmer's case.

hens made by a Nob:* Earl (Suffolk) whether we
had not better be depnved of these possessions al-
together. but he should not give his meant to the
'notion now before t:ie House.

Lord 1-I,ii.Lariv did not wish tb protract the pre-
sent discussion on account of his great esteem for
a Rev. Prelate (Bishop of London) who was an--
ion. for the order of the day being taken into con-
sideration. but he must obwrve, that if the House
acre thus to be twitted. if they acre thus to pro-
ceed without necessary information, they had better
shut their doors at once than he degraded im-the
public estimation.
After some further observations from the Earl of
LAUDERDAILIP in reply, the motion was negatived
without a division.

The Earl of Bilcatanwtmantat, previous to
their Lordships entering into uuy diseuwion upon
the Curate's Stipendiary Bill, moved, Thst a
'blurt' be made of all the Benefices in the king-
dom of 40U1. and upwards, distinguishing those
where the inruinlistit was not resident either three
months at one tinge, or four months at separate
times."

Lord H tesorrav opposed the motion, as it then

cleigyman should possess that degree of property
which would etiabie him to appear with respecta-
bility, and have wherewith to relieve, on particular
occasions, the distresses of his indigent parishi-
oners. 'file introduction of this therefore,
became elesilutely necessary for the welfare of the
people, and the true interests of the Christian
religion. Ah Act pe -seri iu the 36th year of the
present reign, granting to tile citrate 751. per
annum, and the parsonage-house, iu case of
the incumbents non-residence, or 151. in lieu
thereof if he did reside; but, if their Lord-
ships would recollect the high price of the
necessaries of life. if they would reflect that cu-
rates in general were men of mete and literature,
that they had been accuetotued to support a decent
appearance in the world, that they had been
brought tip at the University, mid then, if they
would also consider, that massy of them had a
wife, and seven or eight children, whom they were
oldigt4l to maintain out of so small a salary, he
submitted to the.r opinion, that the bit uat ion of
melt a citrate was absolute beggary. if he were
disposed to take up their Lordship's time, he had
it in his power to ponrtray such secure of distrees
amongst poor curate*, as would make a deep and
sac-
lanrholy unpreesion upon their minds. The present
measure went to provide a proper person to testicle in
those parishes which were deserted by their incteu-
brute, where the living amounted to 4001. and ttp-
wands', and to allow, out of that income, one-fifth
for the support of tbut person, so appointed, to do
the duty. Them were inauy benefices of 1,0001.
2,0001, and some of 3,0001. a-year, but this provi-
Rion of one-fifth was adopted only till it amounted
to 2501. a year. Now it hail been said by a Noble
Lord, (we presume the Earl of LAVDSILDAI.I6) that
the principle of this Bill wits a riolatiou of priestte
property, and an innovation upon the erclesias-
tical establishment; but. it we considered what
had been done by the Legislature in the ueth rear
of Queen Ana, such 36th of the present King, we
should Ise couviuced that such interference was not
unprecedented. He considered that the living of
every opened...in seas conditional, and the canons
of the church, and various couventions, clearly
chewed that it was according to the ecclesiastical
law, that bishops bad u right to interfere with the
whole living, by taking it from the incumbent who
negleeted to perform his (boy, and granting it to
another tinder their own appotntinent. This right
of the bishops' luterference had continued in unison
with the ecclesiastical and ttattne law, from the
time of Edward the Thiel, clowii to the present
hour—a period of five hundred yearn. Another
observation had hero made by the same Noble
Peer, and it contained a very raise and serious
charge, alleging that the Isis) is already had
too much rooter, and that they lent been guilty
of abuse in the exercise thereof. Ile trusted
that no one would presume to attack a whole pro-
Potion, wit lowa giving proof of his aesertiou. Ile
should not believe the accusation. if it were not
supported by sutticieut proof, and he thought it
would be difficult to produce any satisfactory tes-
tiinotiy. At the same time he was anxious to better
the situation of the citrates of this kingdom, the'
bent-iced decree would do hint the justice to ac-
knowledge that' he had, no a former omission, been
as solicitous for their interest ; and he did thiblr
that the success of that Bill, whicti increased the
brings of the clergy of London, was accelerated by
his exertions. and he had received their thanks
for his conduct in respect to that ineseure ;
thus far he was induced to speak of his owls
services. but from no other witive than to jus-
tify Ids conduct upon this occasion. With confi-
dence be felt himself disposal to leave the pre-
sent Bill to the due immoderation and wisdom
of that House, as their Lordshios wmilil duly
estimate importance u necessary to support the
beat interests of. religion.
The Earl of Motu considered the arguments
-alleged by the Rev. Prelate, in respect to proceed-
ing upon this. measure, merely because the Legie-
lature interfering nn a former occasion, in 1796, as
dangerous to the. rights of the Church. He did
view this me.urnre in a different light from that Re-
verend Prelate, at the same tine he vetterated him
for his learning, and the good he had done the
country. But, paying him that homage which was
due to him from every Peer of that House, he (the
Noble Earl) could not reconcile the principles of
the Bill to his approbation. It was a violation of
private property, and it was to he defended on this
ground, that a part of the reetor's income had been
apportioned to the curate on a former occasion. Why
then,et a future, timeamother Bill might be introduce
ed, founded upon the present. to appropriate the
whole of the incumbents' living ! Even the Actor
1796, in his mind, had been the causeof considerable
hardship; there were livings as low as mol. a-year,
and vet 751 out of that must be paid to the officiitt-
ins/ rstore. lie felt as much as say man for the
distressed situation 9f poor curates; but while ne
attended to their relief, we should he reunions of
doing itsjury to another clam of the sense profes-
sion. There was a dignity and respectable ap-
pearance to be kept up on title [wart,
e, consistent
their situation of life, their mode ofilving, sad
the character of hospitality which they mast sup-
port in their parish. He was averse to the principle
of the Bill, and certainly should give Isis dissent to
the measure.

The Bishop of Lowoox, in explanation, ob-
served, that he should be as ankious as any one ti
better the situation of those ineuntliesits who had
small beiirliees, but where two objects were in con-
templation, he thought proper to Attend to one at a
time.

Lord HARROWIIT vin:licated the present !Tire.
Imre is. 4 justified by the laws of ancient and modern
times. There was some re .sou to appreheial that
the ecclesiastical law, without any act of the
Legislature, permitted the bishops to interfe-e with
the disposal of benefices, for the purimse of homing
the service duly performed. The right by which ull
livings were held, he contended, war conditionul.
He art.tutil from the canons and the statute', for
centuries, that it taaal always been &titled the law-
ful rigist of the to appropriate a part, and
sowrtimrr the I.lloe, as a Niue nerution to the re-

The F.arl of Surront roar for the purpose of
making It few olstervatious, in respect to what lied
been stated by the Noble iscount (Sidanuelth),
concerning the mituation of distressed citrates.—
Two year* ago lie bud interested himself on that
subject, mid be had received near two hundred let-
ters (ruin persons of that class of the profession,
but he hod rruw lost them ; but there were state-
ments amongst theta, which could have caused a
benevolent heart to bleed. One of these letters
accidentally was reserved (his Lordship here read
it), it stated that the Teeter poeseintal 10001.
a-year, anti did ao duty ; he, himself, the curate,
had every :.•ittalav to perform at three plat-es of
public worsli;p; he hid a family to support, and his
salary was altogether till. a-year. Ili. Lordship
also taeutioned, that • cler4ymatt once came
to his House, cad appeared before his son,
who performed the duties it • magistrate, and
the nature of his statement cm, that he
was a curate in a parish, not far distant, the
rector allowed him tidy guineas a-year, but lie
took care to deduct live guineas annually to ply
that proportion of his income duty, and the eont-
missioners, knowing he had fifty Kuineas salary, or-
dered lam to pay another live guineas for his own
property tax, so that he was in the actual enjoyment
of no more than forty pillages per annum. The
Noble Earl expressed himself friendly to the prin-
ciple of the Bill, although be thought some other
provisions might have been snore expedient on
these groutals. 11h should give tsits assent to the
measure.

The Earl of Buccuscmissnias considered the
present measure calculated to create great dissa-
tisfaction and uneasiness amongst the beneficed
clert.Ty. lle did uin conceive that its advecides
had made nut a ease, ur that any evil was proved,
calling fora remedy which se vitally affected the
security of church property. The danger of such a
precedent might unhappily be felt in future times ;
and it was iuipoasihle, in such a coutemplation,
not to advert to the case of* compliance with the
Catholic petitions--an occurrence to which he was
by no menus friendly. It wa, also to be recollected
that advowsous were now bought and sold in the
same manner es any other negociable property:
With what justice then, could the Legislature call
upon a beneficed clergyman, who had bought his
living at a calculation of having the services of a
Nitrate at a certain puce, to pay a still larger sum.
Surely it was in such a one nu slight violation of
the security of property. Ilia Lordship concluded
by expressing his determination to vote tier the
amendment moved by his Noble Friend (Sid-
mouth).

The'Arclibishop of C•ttecaacatc &It anxious to
coovince the i Lou.., that the measure proposed
was neither oppressive in its operation, or a viola-
tion of the interests of the Church. The power
which it gave to the bishops, was wily similar to
that with which they were invested in the earliest
times of the constitution of the ('hurch. He cited
the Cabe of a Bishop of Worcester, who was remit-
,ed by the Pope, for not allowing a sufficient com-
pensation to vicars temporal-4cunttes, as they
were then designated in his, diocese. Indeed, to
the reformation, anti subsequent to that period.
such poster was vested in the ordinert and the
ran evil, now sought to be redressed, au> in a great
degree to be trocell to the enitetinent of a legsalg-
tire prosision, which, ter purposes then perhaps
apparently wise, deprived the bishops •of such
power, and substituted an Act of Parliameid as the
mode of regultososi. The Rev. Prelate cosiclndol
by obsen Mg, that he would Le the last wan iu that
Horse, who would support the measure, if it in
the remotest degree trenched uposi the security or
interests of :be Establisdied Church, but at the
sane time that he gale his support to the principle,
he did by ou morons pledge himself to accede to say
oar of its 1111.10,40ki5.

The Lnhn LOR took the opportunity
of Paying that it wits his wish to.restore those pow.

sod of which iu * of violence they were de-
prived. his own opinion on this Bill was in uaii-.

lhs liijesty discoursed a considerable time with
this Deputation concerning the various establish-

semblailee between the laws of Spam and those'of
the kingdom of Pi epics.
The Deputations of the Council of the ingtii-
sitinn, of the Indies, and Finances, were presented
to the King of Spain.
Ili, !Majesty said to the Deputies of the Inqm-
sitiou, that •" he considered the worship of God as
the basis of all morality. and of galena prosperity ;
that ether countries allowed of different forms of
religion, but that he couinlered it as the felicity of
Spam that she had hut °se, and that the true one."
His Majesty answered the Council of the Indies,
that he should not consider America as a eolouy,
but as au integral part of Spain, and that its wel-
fare would be as dear to him as that of his Euro-
pe 411 states."
14;s Majesty answered the Council of Finances,
that " he well knew he had much to effect its this
branch ; that the pay of the soldiers and sailors
was several months in arrears, but that he hoped,
with the bell, of his faithful Spaniards, that he
shoukl be able to provide a remedy for the evil."
The Deputation of the Military Force of Spain,
with the fluke del Parque at its head, then ad-
dres-wl the King, who answered, that lie had m. 0..
Silence in the fidelity and attachment of the Spa-
nish soldiery.—"" I murkier it (he added) an honour
to be the first Soldier of the Army, and were it ne-
ceseary, as in ancient times, in your conflicts with
the Moors, you should see me at your head, in
even• danger, advance to repel the unjust attacks
of the eternal enemies of the Continent. Yon mat•
assure all who have served the State under my pre-
d.•ceamors, that they shall enjoy their pay, pen-
sions, titles, and emoluments; and that I pledge
thy ►onour to reward ancient services, as if they
had been performed under zny own government.
After this audience, Ilis Majesty, at ten in the
evening, repaired to his apartment., and supped
with their slnjeaties the Emperor and Empress.

LON DON,
TUESDAY. Juni ze.

Most important intelliteuce has been received
respecting the state of S:iain, and a naval action
in the Mediterranean off Carthagenii. It is com-
municated in French palmrs to the 17th iaatnnt,
and b,- the Alcmene t ;ate, which is arrived at
Plymouth, from Covunna, About twelve o'clock
the ,iihstanee of it was announced by the follow-
ing Bulletin in the :Ministerial circles—
" Yesterday fro Galician Deputies arrived at the Admi-
ralty ; they came from Corumin, where l a Nolo TRSIOLITT,
of the Alcmene, landed, and was at Om Sittings of the Com-
mittee. Every English prisoner, to Co: number of leo, was
released and sent to our squadron—:he greatest enthusiasm
prevailed—all the troops. to the amount of 30,00 n regulars,
and 3no,cani patriot cititnais,were iu fall march fur Madrid, to
avenge their slangliterrd citizens--sOOO Spanish troops in
Oporto have seize d the French General, and arc also on their
march to join their countil ascii. Au artiou took place of
the pore of f'artlingeria, between the /*tench and a detached
squadron of Lord COLLINGWOOD, when two sail of the line,
seseral frigates and tianeporta, having on We'd soot, French
troops, intended fu Carthage's', were *bully talon, sunk, or
destroyed, and smuttier French slop, which [An into that port.

waited on Admiral Yount', and shortly after in elf

lie was received with the utmost cordiality, and
was invited On shore. Upon his landing, all
the Et.ilish prisoners, to the number of 120,
were liberated, and given up to him. Among
than, Mr. Msrcum.t., son of the late Admiral
MITCHELL, who was taken prisoner some time
since, in a boat belonging to the Theses*, has been
released and sent home. Captain Tasman was
also requested to attend an Assembly of the
States of the Province, which had unanimously
joined the ' Astnriaos in an insurrection against
the tyranny of the French. He was informed,
in the sitting of the Assembly, of the state of
adieus, and as the utmost anxiety was expressed
that Great Britain should make common cause
with the Spaniards, they requested his opinion,
whether hr thought it preferable that the States
should make their application to Great Britain by
Ictter or by deputation. Captain Tatuserr hav-
ing recommended a deputation, these two re-
spectable Nobles were selected for the mission, who
embarked with him in the Alcmene, ou the I7th
instant.

All the troops in Comma, which were consider-
able, have joined the patriotic standard. awl the
leaders had it in coutemplatiou to proclaim the
Prince of A 611111146 Happily this +pint is
not confined to a single spot.
A '„reneral 'massacre of the French, it is said, has
taken place in 'mast of the Northern Provinces.
both in Slain and Portugal. The survivors. it is
added, err compelled to join the Spanish patriots,
sad minty Spanish Nobles, suspected of being fa-
vourable to the views of BONAPARTE, have been
put to death. They farther state, that there were
3.540.000 men iu arms; that a body of 60,000 had
marched towards Madrid, of which 24,000 were
Spanish troops of the line, to avenge their coun-
trymen, tii:n-4tereil in that capital by the French on
the ;fa of May. The corps of Spaniards which acre

quartered at Oporto, in Portage!, hail made them.
selves niasters of all the French in that town and
neighbourhood, hail executed the French com-
mander, mid in:tidied towards. Spain to their bro-
thers iu arms ; the repple of loulalpsil had also
risen, and had put to death the Marquis do Se.-
Lawn, in conscqletice of his havirT ordered a dis-
graceful submit via to the Freach. The Spanish
Deputies have Ws', brought with them The Ovi-
edo Gentile of the 1 tth of Julie ; foam which the
following is an extract:—

" The Governor of Cuthagena, who had re-
ceived orders to give up the place to the French.
and was shout to execute them, experienced the
same fate as ALVALA. The Almighty, who twitches
over the lives of the innocent, and who regards his
loyal and Catholic people with an eye of compas-
sion, ordained, that ou the approach of the enemy's
squadron to this port, with 8000 French troops for
disembarkation, it should fall in with one belong-
nig to the /1101W111 ISLAND OP TM OCEAN. The
latter came up with. attacked, and defeated them ;
two of their frigates, and all their transports were
sunk, and to o ships of the line, which remained, were
boarded, and their crews put to the sword.—The
English lost two frigates, and received souse da-
mage in the other ships. The engagement took
place between Alicant and Carthagena, °tithe 24th
.of last month, and histid two data.

u A French ship, having on boarJ areas, stores,
and money, for Carthogcna, believing that port still
in possession of the French party, entered it on the
28th, and was immediately convened to strike.
4‘ The Andalusiaiss hare Tertitied the Sierra
Morena with urtillar).".

As the action in the Mediterranean rests upon
written authority, it is apparently more worthy of
credit than the represeutation of the internal state
of the country. Shieli rests upon mere report, and
must, from the nature of the case, be very in-
correct. We must observe, however, that Otie-
do and Carthagena are situate at nearly oppo-
site sides of the kingdom of Spain, and it is not a •
little singular that the art:omit of the action, if
founded on fact, should first reach Eagle/id through
that chaunel. On the other hand, it is to be re-
marked, that no accounts have been received E-ona
Cadiz,*iseethe3oth last, nor any from points on the
Spanish coast, nearer the geese of action, that an
are not of much older date. The Plymouth Tele-
graph, of gictirday says Yesterday morning,
the Race* goo-brig, Capt. GRANT, arrived here
with dispatches frour our fleet off Cadiz, which are
said to be of an unfavourable nature ; but their
contents have not :.‘:t transpired : they were int-
metlietely forwarded to town. It is, however,
known, that Admiral Ileavis's negotiations had
terminated nusuccessfuliy ; and nothisig in aid of
the cause of the patriots had been effected in
that quarter ; although, poor to the .aailassg of
the Raven, the cdforts of the patriots in the
Northern province. were generally koown at Cadiz.
—We are sorry to state, on the authority of a Gen-
tleman who came home in the Races, that it is ge-
nerally believed the French have obtained posses-
sion of the, combined fleets in Cadiz; sad also of the
Russian squadron in the Tagus."
The number, as well as the magnitude and im-
portance of the events, which crowd on our atten-
tion, at this extraordinary moment, are such as ti
demand the moat cool and collected mind, in order
to weigh, digest, and reason upon them. We have
had access to see, from authentic quarters, not only
the intelligence communicated by Government,
relative to Spain, but, likewise, to peruse other
very interesting papers, transmitted from that part
of Europe, containing particulars, not indeed
strictly authentic, yet claiming attention, and
pregnant with curious matter. Withont attempt-
ing to examine at present, whether the naval vic-
tory obtained over the French squadron at Cartha-
gena, related in The Delwin Gazette of the 11th of
June, is or is not accurately true, and without en-.
tering on the question of the degree of implicit be-
lief due to. the asserted, and apparently well-found-
ed, insurrection of the Spanish people, against the
most opprobrious and flagitious usurpation, that
the annul. of mankind can produce, we may
safely venture to assert and to infer, that the people
of Spain, the troops, the navy, the ecclesiastics,
and the nobility, have manifested, sot merely a
disposition, but a determination to resist, by arms,
the transfer of their crown, dominions, and colonies
to the Corsican t:. rant, or to any of his family.—
%%ltt proportion of the Spanish nation has env
braced this patriotic resolution, it is imposeible, as
yet, to ascertain ; time must show. It Is; how-
ever, iu the fallen and prostrite state of the'Eu-
ropean Continent, a prodigious event, that BONA..
PARTR is likely to experience any uppoailion ; and
that be has at length met, not with a prince, or
with an army, but with a nation, which, while it is
indignant ut his crimes and outrages, contains
within itself immense capacities of resistance, and
can, at the same time, receive aid from Great Bri-
tain.

But the document which, in our estimation,
most strongly proves tl.. extent and urgency of the
insurrection in Spain, as well ar the deep im-
pression made by it ou NairoLxox himself, is his
own decree, issued from Bayonne, on the 6th of
this month, procliiiming and constituting bia bro-
ther Joscrff, " King of SPAIN and Isnts."—
This &cies, which is iiveu iu the .1/2hivar of the

17th, is worth a hundred deptltatitins from 'the
Spanish insurgents; as proriug, we mean. the ern,
Larrussutents of. BON ATA are. Because* in the Ac-
counts of the former we may always reasauably
suspect error,.etaggeration, or deception; but N'...-
roLeosi will most unquestionably not angin,-nt
his own difficulties, or paint then, in Amer.:, co•
lours, t tan the tuets compel him to admit.
Nut let us see his own account of the state of
things in Sprit'. It is universally known that he
had couvoked an Assetnhly of Notables, or
gates, from the Spanish nation, to meet sr Ilaya„.e,
there to elect a suecessor to the 'abdicated I.dn ly.
This assembly we, expressly fixed to cowmen. 111

of that day; for, oti til 6th Awe, no less than
nine days- before, pressed, no dimbt, !,y the aspect
of adverse! oppositiou soil in.-Jarreetioa throiagh-
out Spain, he antkipates the certain election of his
brother, and proclaim's him King of SPAIN. His.
language, in the Proelanetrion or Decree, is stu-
diously laconic anti ambiguous; but it lets. nest o
their's, the awful secret escape for, while be
affects thus. to constitute and proiltim his Inothe4
Kieg, under pretended Addressers *of the Janis
and Spanish 31iiiisters, he, in the saute sonteacei,

see, half unveiled, the alarm and apprehensions
this scourge of so many nations. It wants no
interpreter, and speaks most eloquently to every
reader.

Another circumstance, stated in the rime 3.Funi-
tear, comes in aid of the Proclamation, to pray.,
!mist strongly, the pressure of necessity under
which BONAPARTE violates hie own antecedent
orders to ths Spimiah Notables, to meet at Bayonne
en the 15th of Jane; it appears that he did Lot
even wait for the arrival of hi, Brother Jose.rii, at
Bayonne, in order to constitute Lin) King of Spain.
loseru only reached Pau, the capital of Beam, on
the 7th, from *hence he still had fifty miles to
drive before he got to Ba)onne ; bat he had been
made King of Sian' ou the 6th, wit hont either his
knowledge, consent, or approbution. An unusual it
hurrr, and we may even sV, perturLation, seems to
have pervaded the Corsican Imperial Court and
Councils, at .that time; for we find that Boma-
Patera could not even wait Jointing's too slow ap-
proach. He went Ao Int .t t11.,‘ new oqlielic King

We shall rtsume this ,übject to !narrow. It
opens a vast field to rational hope, expectation,
and pleasing conjaiture.

patches for South America, intercepted on board
Ls Conception Spanish lugger, captured by His
MAJCSTeiI frigate Orestes. They are said to be
of importance.

The massacre at Madrid, on the 9d of May, is
said to be one of the most frightful in modern
history. Four thousand Spaniards fell, ou that
day, beneath the ire of the Frcurb myrmidons
but, unsatiated yet by their blood, Illuawr created
military tribunals, whi h admit su-picion for proof,
and adjudge no person brought before them to be

condemned laud executed, though 3luitsr had :41-
leanly promised to bury the crud* of the id in
oblivion!

The answer sAich was stated in the French Pa-
pers to have been sent from the Uevvrnor of Cadiz
to Admiral Pvatts, is a fabrication. We are ena-
bled to state positively, that no ouch letter was
sent to the British Admiral.

Govefnment have received official intelligence,
that Sir EDWARD PELLtw'll Eypetlition has tretti
completely successful. He has taken, sunk, burnt,
and otherwise destmved. every Dutch armed ves-
sel on the coast of Java, and invieed in the whole
of the Eastern Seas. Three of the ships were of
the line. namely, the Rea:dater. the Plato, and the
kitrtaaar, all of which he hung in the linrhonr of
t;riesie, the Doteh Commodore hitting previously
.cuttl,•d them.

Bawaguere, whatever imposing promioes or
atsursaces he may throw out to the Spaniards,'
" preserving inviolate the integrity of tlizir mo-
narchy, anii of not suffering even a vills.;.• to be
dismembered from it," is evidently incupolile to(

Far from being able to secure the dis"sat ec; mien
