LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. MARCH I.

It is thought that the Brest fleet has put to
sea with ad expectation of joining the Bochfort
squadron, of five ships of the line, in the Bay.—
From thence it is bupposed they mean to proeced
together to Ferrol, and having joined the Spanish
fleet there, to proeevd off Cmlit, %there the Toulon
fleet is to join them. That this plan, if practica-
ble, would be very advantageous to N A POLE° N,
we admit; but in order to carry it into complete
effect, it is necessary that Lord COLLIN GWOOD
Nhoulti permit the Toulon fleet to pass him. ,huuld,
however, the Brest fleet he able to rim down even 60
far as Ferrol, it may do great injury to our trade.—
Three frigates, it is said, were left off Brest at the
time that the fleet under Lord G AMMER were
obliged to relinquish their station and bear up for
Torbay. These frigates informed Lord GA MBI Ea
of the sailing of the fleet ; they ulso spoke Nis
grey'; ship Nassau and the C.gji. •11% Indiamati,
and gave them the information of the fleet having
put to sea.

During the tune strangers were excluded from

the Gallery of the House of Commons, on Mon-
tiny night, upon the re-committmeut of the Corn
Distillation Bill, a resolution was moved and ac-
ceded to, for pla-in;; the English and Irish Dis-
tilleries under the same restriction. The Bill was
also ordered to be recommitted again yesterday.
Mr. PERCEVAL having stated it to be his wish to
conform to the sense of the House, expressed by the
majority against him upon Sir JOHN' N IMPORT'S
motion, and to make the necessary alterations in the
Bill, to carry it into full enact. The Bill, us it ori-
ginally stood, creating a distinction between Crtat
Britain and Ireland, originated with Mr. Fos-
and was, of course, a ruisisterial measure.—
Mr. Peacevsb, however, deserves praise for the
candour which lie has sheau iu admitting its int-
policy, and his readiness to abandon the distinction
between the twocountries w inch it proposed to create.
The measure in its progress had excited great late-
, rest, and the gallery of the House of Commons was
nightly tilled, whenever it was expected to come
on. Purchases of corn to a went extent were
made, we understand, in Ireland, by persons who
speculated largely iu that article, relying on the
strength of Ministers that Mr. FosTea's measure
must pass.

In addition to the remarks which we have had
occasion to make on the present situation of the
Duke of You. and the Charges preferred against
him for imilversation in his public character, that
his ltuyul nighties. in a moral, no less than in an
official point of view, has committed a grave and
serious offence against himself, and against the
nation, is not to be denied : Mach less it, his con-
duct to be defended. Those who love him most,
do hint the greatest injury, by undertaking to vin-
dicate, or to treat with contempt, the depositions
of the various persons who have appeared to give
evidence against Inin. Of the note found in Cap-
tain HUXLEY SANDER'S possession, every man may
form his opinion, according to the preponderance
in his own mind of the arguments and assertions for
and against that paper. Certainty- will, in all pro-
never be attained, relative to its authen-
ticity, or its forgery. Ent, that the Duke's loose as-
sertion of his general innocence, ignorance, and free-
dom from allaurpicion of Mrs. CLARKS'S line of eon-
duct, is to pass for proof, and to insure him an ac-
quittal, or even to overset the moral conviction re-
sulting from the various appearanceeof culpability,
too apparent throughout the whole transaction,
would, indeed; be too much to ask of a British
Public. The Grand Doke CONSTANT' rtE might,
under similar circumstances, expect his denial to
be received at Moscow for proof : but iris different
in London. Even suspicion should not light oa
the Cuminander-iii-Chief..
That the Duke's letter is not only a weak, but
an indecorous, and, to himself, au injurious pro-
duction, cannot admit of u doubt. We much fear
that his Royal Highness is ill-advised ; and we
dread that he should not justly appreciate the na-
ture of the times in which we live, when Princes,
who even deserve well of their countrY, find it diffi-
cidt to maintain their dangerous elevation. BOMA..
rame, like an evil genius, after destroying.° IN

mastics which stood in his way, to the sobjuptiOn

or acquisition of one half of Europe, overhangs the
remaining Royal Houses.. He wi:l never enjoy en
hour's repose of mind, till he has subatituted Be-
and Mum*Ts, and other rerolntienary
Chiefs, on the thrones antecedently occupied by
the Families of Vasa, of BRAWKWPCSOIII, and of

version, and become familiarised with deposition in
every shape. It is happily true, that, us /lissom
beautifully said on a didereut occasion, to whit:it
we do not desire to allude,
" The star of Brunswick shines serene,
" And gilds tLe i ors of the deep."
It shines serene, because the virtues, the morals,
and the inattackable purity of the reigning Me-
mirth, rendered only more august and more vener-
able, by the years and by the infirmities or priva-
tions of advanced life, endear him to Every order of
his people. But it must be maintained in its lustre
nod serenity by the seine qualities that 'aims, sup-
port it, or it will be shorn of its beams- This is a
truth which, RS we deeply feel, we cannot too forci-
bly inculcate, and of a hich the Duke of Vomit
has, to our unspeakable regret, made trial in his
even person. We trust that he will rise superior to
the present attack. But if he does surateunt the
actual danger, it must assuredly be by temperate
and wise, not by angry, sesuming. or dietator'ial
addresses to either House of Parliament.

Among the political phenomena of the present
age, one of the must extraordinary, and we may
add, the most unexpected, wit be the ren,tiince
of the Southern and Eastern Provinces of Simia
to the arias of Boxer...cure, after the reduction it

by the recent expulsion of the English from the
Peninsula. l'ct for this patriotic and aprarently
&venue efl'ort, we are taught by the last arrtvals
from Andalusia, to prepare ourselves. Nay, even
the Portuguese, wbo, according to all the accomits
transiuitted us, tnanifested so little energy or re.
source, when our troops appeared in the neigh-
bourhood of the Tagus, seem now to evince a de-
termination to resist the French, although shun.
cloned by the English. Those who have seen NAPO.
LRON successively overrun and subject all the greao
Conti ueutal States, may smile at the i mpotent efforts
of Lisbon, Cadiz, Carthage/la, and Sarragossa. to re., • '
pel the victorious anus of the Corsican Emperor.—.•
Nor should we flatter ourselves that they can avert.
though they may perhaps protract, the fate of the
Spanish and Portuguese Monarchies. Already
mankind, front the Atlantic to the Baltic, and the
Euxiite, notwithstanding the abhorrence of the
crimes, the perfidies, and the atrocities of EONA•
PARTE, begin insensibly to anticipate a new order
of things, new dynasties on the European throats,
and the entire extinction of those [louses, which.
for many successive ages, had swayed the sceptre
in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, and even in Ger-
many. The ritett of the CA PILTa, which had Boated
itself on the Thrones of France. Spain, and Na-
ples, is already nearly reduced to the condition of
individuals. anti will succeed to the maid place of

true, to reign in his Sicilian territories; but even
the duration of that precarious Monateby, alto-
gether upheld by British forces, cannot be counted
on for a single year. MURAT appears anxious to
approve himself worthy of the elevation to which
he has been raised, and is approaching Reggio.—
We should not be surprised to hear that he soon
