" R. SMITH, See. of State."

Diapierhes %ere received. yesterday, at the Ad-
miralty, from Aihnind Cinnamic, which state,
that on the night of the 7th of. April, the three
French line-of-hattle ship., which took shelter in
the harbour of the Sainies,•made a dash throne>
one of the Passages, while the frigates ran tbiotigh
the other. Our ships immediately penned them,
and on the 10th, in the morning, under Porte Bice,
His MAJEWIT'II ship Pompee can't up with die
liantrodt, a new SU, and after a severe action
uldigid her to i:trike. The /lamp :4 had 7 killed,
sad 39 wounded; the Ilentpoult had between 110
and 90 killed and woo:sled. The two other French
ships were pursued by two dour striadron through
tiie Mons eas.age„ The following is an extract of
a letter from an Officer of the Pelvic, that cap-
tared the Ilaarpoult:—

'4 Abercrombie, April IM.

tVe joint Sir A. Cochrane on the Nth of Apra off the
Smiths--m the mom night, • Frvoch squadron, conststaug
of three hip+ of the has and two frigates, made their escape
from theme; we pursued; uu the.fotluwing night all escaped
our rigilmice, but one ship of the line, tibias the Pumper
and Castor coutMue,l to chase on the night of tin tuth.

Vt'e (the (toitcw) broiled abe en'em) to astiou. The
Pompk.: semi came op, and sbe struck after an obstinate re•
aistance. Soon after we had Liken poisseasiou, the Adinii ll
joined.
" The enemy's ship, now the Abercrombie, was called the
Hautpoult, a able ship of an going.
" The Pumper had 7 killed and 29 wounded; the Haut-
rah beteemu au and no."

Interesting and critivai as is the state of affairs
throughout every portion of the Peninsula beyond
the I'yremec nod peculiarly in Portugal, from
whence the most important advicis may be duly
expected ; the anxiety which they would excite at
ate• other mrome•ut, is suspended and swallowed up
in the contetuptation of the awful events passing no
the Danube. The sth and lath Bantling of the
French army are full of matter. Ilustarswrx,
pushing forward .with his characteristic rapidity,
and driving before him the Austrian army .under
General II tt.i.ae, had arrived on the Bth at St.
Poiten, only four posts from Vienna. Part of his
forces were even advanced to Siegartskirehen, half
way between St. Poke's and the capital. By the
10th of this mouth, we may, safely assume that he
had again made Intwelf muster of that city. It is
difficult to comprehend how the curies of CLAPA..
acne, only seven thousand strong, and separated,
as it worth, •ppenr. from the main body of the
French army, could have defended themselves for
three hours against .10,000 Austrians, till they were
filially relieved and extricated. This brilliaut ac-
tion•took place on the 311 of Way, at Ebersberg, on
the Traun, near Lintz. How serirots was the po-
sition of Ct. 're's corps, and how nearly it hail
been rut off, is obvious from the eircumstance of
Narot.gux'a Ili:M:11111g in person to their rescue.--
Yet that the French did, and elitist necessarily have
been victorious on that occasion, seems to be proved
sufficieutly by the retreat of General HILLER, and
the rapid advance of the French.

After the atfair of Elrersberg, on the 3,1, the Aus-
trian army, rttirirg rapidly before the invaders,
took the great rood to Vienna ; hut, at St.!tett,
apprehensive, no doubt, of being overtaken, they
abandoned all further idea of protecting,or defend-
ing the capital. Under these circumstance., they
executed v. ith equal celerity and xuertvu, au opera-
tion moat important ; that cfrin,iog the DatinG,

We believe, that its the history of this country,
there never has existed an Administration; not eves
in the fanatical times or the Commonwealth. in tl:e
century before the last, whose religious proftissitiii
-were so completely ut ro:rsoce with their political.
and moral csoduct, as the present Miuistry.. They
originally rose to power and office, by artfully and
hypocritically availing themselves of the watch-
word, N. Popery, calculated to operate on the
minds'of the lower orders. It is therefore natural.
that we should expect froin men so tenacions of the
purity, as well as orthodoxy of the stational faith,.
mid who tremble at the slightest infraction of the
discipline and t...sets of the Church in favour of Ca-
tholies ; we might surely expect from such eliarec-
ter*, ou attention to the monde, and to the fetfeity
of the people. But, with an inciensideney, equnny
impossiltle to explain, or to justify, these very men.
who reject all totratioa, support and uphold the
most pernicious prin.:iris, the most nefarious acts
stud uicrasures, provided a misernhle 6nancial
ari-
vantage cats be derived from them to thus Exche-
quer. In proof of these assertions, we hate oily to
elopes! to the eloquent and affecting speech pro-
nounced by Mr. WIIITIAKAS, in the /loose of
Commons, on Thursday night, on the subject or
Lotteries; and afterwards to peruse the reply of
Mr. PEVA:T.I'AL. The some Minister, who only be-
