THE EXPICOITION.
At half-past four rieloek. last reeniitg, Lientt-

ben, stating. that the WWI. of Flautist* i'lo•ely
iihreB2tal, that part of the Widellereo was
taken, and the rest expetted to serreader speedily.
Th'e arrival of the Officer in town with these dis-
pute:hes, was preceded by • telegropilic cnnnllu-

at the Admiralty, and the follo:ving nut-

The above is the tirst official intelligence received
from the Expetlitimi. Tiie details will be probably
given in an Extraordinary Gazette, this day.—
It will he recollected that the first division sailerr
Prow the Dowses so far heck as Friday se'linight.—
From the proximity of its destination, intelligen,e
was expected is early M lay last; the Mi-
stime of all official acimints, during the whole of
hurl wer.k, of course excited great anxiety hi the
politic moil was very Manifest last
sags to the appearance of the town, and the conduct
of Ministers upon the arrival of the news. The
telegraph began to•work abont. four o'clock,
and it was scarcely in motion when a grout can-
t-gorse of people Gomm hied al the • Ail loins; .
" At lia'f-p,:t fuur, Lieuteiciiit Dose AN arrived in a

these the Duke of POUTLANU and Lord Ctivrt.ie.
Rester at2re particularly active. The Duchess of .
'Tuna No, who has two gallant sous in the service,
Lurds (jlititLEl and ItoltEßT MaxNkus, received
a note from hie Grace, statia4 that the Expediti
had" so far succeeded, mid that her sons were in
good health ao I spirits. A letter WAS also scut off
by express to the Collate,ai of CHATH tat, who
is on a visit to the Eutl of Nlscci.csviaLui at
his seat is, Yorkshire, to the Nellie t ffcct. Ilis
!loyal Highness the Duke of Voita .wise

Lieutenant Dvxciw left Flushing at twelve
o'clock. He says our troops were theii safely
landed at Flushing, and in gun. spirits. Little or
ISO eepositimi Was expected ; wrist it was generally
supposed that the troop% would he Stile to advance
to Antwerp without much loss.—Further accounts
are hourly expected.

aPik roi We sincerely cut ratulate the sea-

this result ; fur, when we cosisidered 144' fate of Sir

to command in Portogal, arid afterwards scut hack
to Gibraltar, and AJi&ral EfAlllrells we &snouted
of s•milig Lord GAttstra coating ssfu nut of his
List, ;the hands of the present Ministers,
however great his merits might he. We have more
than omit observed. that 04 original sin in this
case lay with the Ministers. When they st nt Lord
COCHAANI, an alien, to Lord GAIIII4eIes fleet, to
atipersede every hold and daring spirit within it,
they laid the postulation of envy, jealousy, aid
heart-burning, of which the trial, that deprived his
eincary of the services of the gallant Admiral 11411.•
•r.tr, was the first instance, and the trial of Lord
GA44111111 only the second. It is very true, the
Esti of Sr. VINCENT passed by Sir Jos Moe,
soil seat Lord Netaou, his junior, in, pursuit
of the French fleet, and that pursuit ended in
the great and glories', victory of Aboukir ; but
the Earl of Sr. VINCENT did not go out of
his own fleet, nor was Se actuated by the mere
whim of substituting one brave and enterprising
officer for another. The insert ers of A LEX 41I-
DER Tara GILZAT all affected to be wry-necked,
iii compliment to their great Commander ; but
my Lord !Mu Ecasve carried his imitation of the
Earl of ST. VINCENT rather too fir, when he,
with open eyes, did what was evidently wrong, that
he might be thought to act like the Earl of ST.
VINCENT. Vpon this ground, we contend, Lord
Mutt:Karp was WrI111',! in his first step, mud we liar
that it i.not his Lordship's only error ii, this hominess.
Animist 1114 written evidence submitted, on the first
day of the trial, on the put of the prosecution
