bours, and on the Spanish coast, which she is un-
aie, or dares not prevent or resent. Last year,
about this time, hardly tour months after the ambi-
tioo of Borrararrs had forced us to a rupture, a
momentary embargo wa, laid upon the Spanish
traders; but, with that .acillation and irresolution,
which distinguished the late Administration, politi-
c al and dangerous palliatives were resorted to : we
continued at peace with a people, whose friendship
and tie; were not at their own disposal, but at the
rnea cy of our irreconcileable foe; ne sent an Am-
bassador to Madrid, as if only to be insulted ; and
we suffered BoNarear E'S banditti on the roast, to
be paid with those treasures of the new world with
which we might have augmented our own resources
to obiige him to be just.
A King, equally famous for his military as politi-
cal atchievements, Faeutaie the Clic al, justly ob-
served, that, between contending parties, he who
could command the last crown would command
viaory and peace. The truth of this observation,
no one can doubt. The pecuniary tribute which
Spain pays to Boa at, A RTZ, is therefore of moie teal
service to him than weak or cowardly battalions,
or badly manned and worse defended ships. He
v.-ants iiinney, and not men. With the nume-
sous desperadoes he already commands, he has
power enough to intimidate the Continent ; but,
without foreign loans, requisitions, or tribute, the
resources of France are insufficient to support them
for two campaigns. This is evident to all Europe ;
and we have been long surprised at the patience of
our Ministers. The maritime laws of nations do
net permit the visitation of men of war, and our
Government never pretended to that right. The
capture of the Spanish frigates could therefore nut
be expected without an engagement, and between
ordered battles and avowed hostilities we can see no
difference. Though we deplore the horrors of war,
as patriots we should rejoice, were we now per-
mitted to regard those as our enemies, who have
never been our friends. Some of our faaious con-
temporaries, who systematically blame our Minis-
ters for every thing they do, right or wrong, will
no doubt exclaim that what has now occurred is
unprecedented. We beg them, however, to recol-
lea, that in 1755, several months before that war
broke out with France, which ended so gloriously in
1763, French men of war were carried in as prizes
into our harbours. Thousands of Frenchmen were
prisoners in England, when a British Ambassador
still continued at the Court of France, and our
complaints then against that country were not half
sn serious and numerous as they are now against
the Court of Madrid. As war with Spain, in the
present circumstances, will either be followed with
an immediate rupture, or a subsidiary treaty with
P.,rtugal ; we must procure /watts to defend her
ports, or BUM AAAAA E will shut Otani against us.
This has no doubt been fureacen by our Ministers ;
and we hope sincerely that our merchants trading
with those countsiee may have been prepared for
a war, regarded as inevitable by every man ac-
quainted with BONAPARTE'S tyranny, and their
weakness.

We have seen several letters from the eastern part
of lreland, down to the 11;th inst. one of which, a
letter of the I 'th, from Dublin, will b.: found in a
subsequent column. They are written by Gentle-
men, deeply interested in the welcare of that country,
and alive to the slightest symptom of rebellion or
disaff:Ction. As then they do not contain any allu-
sion to any recent disturbance, or alarming conspi-
racy, we must consider the following letter in an
evening Print of yeste.day, as only one of its Mau-
Mamie,' stories, published to acquire notoriety, but
which, in fad, answers no purpose, except that of
frightening old women, fools, and children.

" Dublie, Oct. 12.

mv hands from Leighlin Bridge, in the county of Kildare,
which CM111•1 from a permn with whom lam +AI sup/tinted,

This story of 30,000 organised rebels is a pretty
improvement upon the blowing up of 150 gun-boats
out of forty-eight, by the Baron, in his lam itc,uunt
ut the experiment off Boulogne.

One of our cruisers on the coast of Flanders
looked into the road of Flushing last Saturday, and

counted there, three prattles, nine gun-boats, and
about twenty other armed vessels and transports.—
According to the report of a neutral Captain, who
sailed two days before from Middleburgh, BONA-
PARTE'S Conimander in Chief in Holland, General
Msassomr, haclordeted the release of the French
General POINSOT, the late Governor at Middle-
burgh, arrested by his successor, the Batavia's Ge-
neral OSTEN, for Isis extortions, plunder, and op-
pression. Instead of a well-deserved disgrace and
punishment, Pomo' has obtained a command in
the camp near Ziest, and General Os rEN has been
reprimanded for daring to imprison a Commander
of the Legion of Hunour, which rank Pornsor en-
joys.% On board the neutral vessel were twenty-two
Batavian families from Zealand, bound for New
York, driven away from their homes by French
tyrants. They stated, that, since the pres:ht war,'
two thirds of the inhabitants of Zealand bad been
forced, by the stagnation and uncertainty of all
trade, and by the continual oppressions of the
French, to emigrate to different foreign countries ;
and that, in Middl-liugh, one third of the houses
were uninhabited and to be sold. Before General
MONNET, the French Commander in Zealand, per-
mitted them to embark•, they were obliged to pay
from 20 to 100 ducats for a pass, according to their
presumed wealth.

Captain Co LLIE a is appointed to the command of
the Leander, of 30 guns, At Halifax, bearing the ti4g
of Sir A. MITCHELL.

The loss of the .4/thee is one of the most consider-
able which the commerce of this country has for a
long time sustained. She was worth upwards of
450,0001. staling. The alfthea sailed in company
with the tket lately arrived, and there can be no
doubt that had she been along with a convoy au-
thorised " to take charge" of her, so valuable a
ship, and probably others, would not have been
captured.
The shoal, on which the ships Cate and PITPOIM
were wrecked, is about five miles long, stretching
N. N. W. and S. S. E. in lat 22. 20. South, and
long. 155. 42. East from Greenwich.
The Leyden Gazette has been suppressed by the
French influence in Holland. It was supposed,
however, that the circulation of it, after the expira-
tion of some weeks, would be again permitted. Pos-
sibly, the suppression of that long established, and,
in some instances, highly independent paper, may
have some remote connection with the projesffed
changes in the Batavian Government.
Yesterday the Bloomsbury and Inns of Court As-
sociation were reviewed by Brigadier General WE.
TRAM, attended by an Aid-deiCamp, and prattised
in all General Moore c's new manoeuvres ; the front
and rear ranks priming, loading, and firing, kneel-
ing. The right wing were brought in rear of the
lett by countermarching, which is an admirable ma -
nceuvre, as by wheeling up the flank companies of
either flank, a line is immediately formed either to
the Agin or left, without lessening either the first or
second line, as is the case in forming the
square. We were sorry to observe, the petionn•
:ince, in general, was not marked with that attt n-
oon and preci.i.in we have hitherto witnessed. We
were ready to Mtke every allowance for their in-
experience in the new evolutions, and their want of
practice dining their late secession front military
duties ; but, as a veteran corps, we expafted, at least,
a general attention to the nrarchings and counter-
maiehings, Ste. Ste.

A Paper of yesterday says " in consequence of
His MAJL,Ty's determination no longer to reside at
the Qusets's house in the Park. but to remain alto-
gether at Windsor. those who have apartments in
Windsor Castle, including the Prince of WALES and
other Princes, have been desired to remove, as their
apartments will in future be required for the accom-
modation of His MAJESTY'S family. Orde-s have
been given, we believe, to remcve the Royal I i•trary,
one of the fiasst in the country, and every di
connected with the convenience or pleasure of His
MAJICSE r's residence at Windsor, from the QUEEN'S
house in the Park. The Duke of Gsouc ea, we
hear, quits Cranford Lodge. and the Hon. Greene
Visite**. brother to Lord CL•IMIDOW, will in fu-
ture reside there, and will have a very confidentialplace in the superintendence of His M zsT les pri-
vate concerns. Indeed, all the arrangements are
projeeted on the supposition of His MAJESTY% fu-
ture residence at Windsor. He will come to town
only on particular occasions, and when Levees or
other public business require his presence."

The Jesuits at N4plcs have already made nume-
rous novices. The ice of age, and long persecutions.
have not diminished their aaivity and zeal. The
colleges of CEil re aro. of Nmlizediella, and Monte-
lakonr, are already crowded with disciples and
novices, so that the professors have hardly time to
instrua them all, and, therefore, have been obliged
to refuse admittance to several. Every noble fa-
mily, attached to the King and to the Court, has
some of their children or relations in the new Je-
suits Colleges greatly proteaed by the Queen as
wall as by the Kit .g ; who. according to report. have
determined, for the future, to have their confessors
of that order. It is said. that the King of Sardi-
nia has invited some of them to the island of Sardi-
nia, and promised to restore to their order its former
property. Atwitter rumour, though not credited,
says, that the same proposals and offers have been,
made to them by England, with regard to the Island
of Malta.
