Yesterday the burial of Colonel DESP ARD took
place; and this, we trust, is the last time we shall
have opportunity er occasion to advert to the trea-
son for which he suffered.—A conspiracy so con-
temptible, and presenting such an immeasurable
distance between the object and the means of execu-
tion, was perhaps never before engendered in the
mind of man.—ln noticing it once more, we cer-
tainly do not mean to give it an importance which
it does not deserve, but to congratulate our readers
upon a faa that ascertains the conspiracy to have
been still more contemptible, than the most confi-
dent in the loyalty of the land could have expeded.
Seven days did the remains of Colonel DESP AAD he
unburied; seven days had his partisans notice of his
burial, and yet twelve friends only were to be
found who seemed to feel an interest in his fate,
or would condescend to pay the last sad tribute of
respell to the dead ; and even of these twelve, we
cannot, in charity, suppose that any political sym-
pathy mixed itself with their motive, but that they
may have condemned the traitor, while they
mounted the man.—lt is the policy of treason to
represent every satire' in the cause as a martyr,
and to honour him as such. Had the abettors of
Colonel DEsP ATM been numerous and sanguine, they
had yesterday an opportunity to shew themselves.
The time and place of his burial, and every thing
respecting it, were left to the choice of his friends,
and nothing was done to deter his partisans from
making their appearance. The Minister must then
have had an accurate idea of their strength, when he
declared, in his place, that " they were numerous in
a tap-room, but would be few in the Strand."

A report has been in circulation for some days,
that the Earl of HA It owic Eis about to be recalled
from Ireland, and that the office of Viceroy of that
part of the United Kingdon:, will he transferred to
the Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces in
that country. We do not believe that Government
have any such plan in contemplation. Certainly no
regulation of the kind is intended to be carried into
immediate effeft.

His Majesty's ship Hercule, of 71 guns, com-
manded by Capt. Veit RIS, attempted to put to sea,
on Friday last, from Spithead, but owing to adverse
winds was obliged to bring up at St. Helen's.—
Capt. FERRIS sails with sealed orders.
On Saturday the Plantagenet, of 71 guns, was put
into commission, at Plymouth, and the command
given to Captain Limitmono, 'son of Sir A S. HAM-
MONn, Comptroller of the Navy.
All officers belonging to the Staff of tlie army in
the West Indies have been ordered to repair to their
respeetiwe quarters with all possible dispatch. This
order has been occasioned by die great number of
officers belonging to the Staff Establishment, who
had obtained leave to taunt to England, Dn the
conclusion peace.
The Jamaica Daily Advertiser. of the 11th of Ja-
nuary, states the arrival, a kw days before, at Cape
Francois, of eight sail of the inn!, having OH board
1'2,000 troops from France. The number of troops
is, we think, exaggerated, hut there is little doubt
that 4 considerable reinforcement has arrived at the
Cape. These 'were the ships which were seen by
the• I's ince:: Elmaleth packet, off cape 'fibcroou, on
her passage to Englapd„
