tutored to peace ant disarmed the whole of Lower Estrema-
data,
" Singoisa has surrendered ; the calamities which have
hefaiten tile sishappy town, are a terrifying example to the
people. The peace which has been restored in Saragossa ex-
tends to the whole of Arragou • and the two armies, which
were around the town, lime been set at liberty. Saragossa
was the centre of the insurrection of Spam ; it was in this
town chit the piny was formed which wished to call in a
Prince of Übe Mame of Austria to reign ou the Tagus. The
iadividuals of this party had partly auherited these "lotions,
which areirrevucab:y destroyed, from their aricaston, during
the war of the Successiou.

" The battle of Tennis was won on the gad of November,
and after the it;tli, the French army was encamped at • small
distasce from Saraguesa. The people of this town were
at 46111 Pd. The peasants of Armpit had repaired thither, and
Saragossa routairred 4u,nito was, formed into regiments of
uoo men, and companies of too. The General Officers and
Subalterns consisted of Slunk.. A body of to,orio men,
who bud escaped from Tudele, had thrown themselves into
the town which was furnished with provisions, heaped up is
innumenble magasises, and defended by you pieces of com-
mon. The image of Owe Lady of Pilar imagist ult.:irk. at

zeal, and preserved the confidence of the multitude. In the

the leaders or parties, how Lentil die+, escape the miseries
which iguerrance sod fanaticism heap upon tire beads or so
rawly wretches'—Every thing Teesdale was done to (-Algid-
en them, and bring them to remits. Immediately after the
battle of Toilets, the belief entertained at Saragossa, that
Madrid held out, sad that they might be relieved ; and that
the armies at Somissierra, Gosslarains, listremedura, Leon,
sod Cataluaia, might runtish a pretest for the Chicle of tire
lusurgents to keep alive the fanaticism of the inhabitauts ;
it ass resoled out to surround the town, hut to permit it to
maiutain a eornmaniesi ion with all Spain, in order that they
might be informed of the ausibilatiou of the Spanish armies,
and of the eireansetames which attended the entrance of the
French amity into Mailed ; but all this iuteiligeuce came to
the ems of the ringleaders alone, and was linkups a by the
body ofthe people. The truth was out only concealed from
them, but their costar was kept up by lies at ewe time,
the French had lust andiou men before Madrid , w another
time, Romans had entered France, and the French eagles
were compelled to ily lizfore the terrible leopard. Thu

ENGLISH MILITIA.
Lord CASTLEREAUH rose, pursuant to the notice
he had given, for the purpose of obtaiinug leave to
bring in a Bill to complete the Militia of Great
Britain. He did not wish to detain the House by
entente; into the inerits of the Bill he was about to
introduce, but should content hims-lf for the pre-.
sent with briefly stating its were outline. In eon.•
sequence of the transfer of service from the Militia.
to the Line, there was a deficiency to be made up
of 23,000 men ;
.he would therefore -propose that
24,000 men, bring one half of the quota of the
Militia in Great Britain, should be raised. by
bounty, the levy to be eompleted iii twelve months;
eight months dot of that period to be allowed Ilse'
the recruiting ;libel', if it should not be foisad•do
feet ual, then the ballet eliould take place, in timber
to make up the deficiency. The ten guineat which
would be allowed to a recruit, he should propose to
be allowed to the substitute of the Indicated man,
to whiJi he conceived there would be po objection ;
but, while he proposed eightroonths as a period for
enlistment, he wished power to be allowed to His
Majesty to put the ballot io force sooner, in case
the former plaii should fail. It would be necessary
to allow, besides ten guineas bounty, two guineas
more for contingencies. The proposed measure,
be .doubted not, would soon greatly increase the
Militia; but, although the power to ballot should
• seldom or never be laid aside, be did uut apprehend
any danger would arise front its being postimsted
eight mouth*. The Noble Lord concluded with
moving. " Tlint leave be given to bring in a Bill to
complete the Militia of Great Britain."
Earl Tette Le made some objections, as did Lord
hlitTon, but declined urging them at present.
Mr. SHAW LEV 7.vaL considered the measure very
objectionable, and hoped the Noble Lord would
Hot press it forward, so as to prevent the Magis-
trates, at their Quarter Stisiona, from taking it in-
to consideration.
Lord CASTLEREAGH raid, he. certainly wisll it to
be forwarded quickly, and comaclered that on evil
which might arise from it, would be compensated
Illy the additional time it would
_give for recruiting.
After few words front Mr. Dairies Gtoorand
Colonel FRANKLAND, leave was given to bring in
the Bill.
Lord CASTLEREAGH brought in the Bill, which
was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a
secuud time on Monday next.
DUKE OF YORK.
LOrd FOLKaTONE moved, " That the Order of
the Day for the House being called over, be read;"
when
Mr. WHITIRFAD rose for the purpose of explain-
ing a circumstance which had been' by some
masse. misrepresented. Ile had had occasion,
since the qtuestion relative to the conduct of the
Duke of York bad been under consirlerat• , to
remark npoti the letter of the Archbishop of Tusin
to Dr. O'Meara; he had been stated to have ex-
pressed surprise, that the Archbishop of 'From,
should direct a letter to Mrs. Clarke ; he had said
no such thing ; lie had described that letter an it
anpeared upon the minutes ; it was directed to
Dr. O'Meara, and not to \lts. Clarke.
Lord Fotesroxe then mid, he should defer (It-
(owing the Order of the day, for the same reasons
which had been urged yesterday.
General GASCUYNE rose to give notice, that in
esse the House sat till three er four o'clock, without
deciding upon the question before theta, he should
take the sense of the Haute upon the iitirtion of
adjournment.

Lord MILTOS feeling it to be his public duty,
rose to deliver Ins sentiment's. lu doing this, he
thought it necessary to speak upon the opinion laid
down My a Learned Judge, at the rortithencement of
the present proceedings; he wishicitolioint out it.

could not believe one part of the testimooy of a

any one. could believe die eridvace of Mrs. Clarke,

but oust eoute to that conclusion. He could not
carry his belief so far us to think the whole of Mrs.
Clarke's testimony worthy of credit, but thought
her evidence greatly strengthened by minute cir-
cumstances, while her eippaticy bad a contrary
effect ; for this reason he left out the whole of
'Mrs. Clarke's evidence, which related tin the Duke
of York, when no other witness was present ; bat.
there were many parts in which she was not arise
tradictetl, and in many others corroborated by un-
impeachable witnesses. lie called the attention of
the House to Mr. Dowler, whose evidence had last
night been attempteetto be shaken, but whose tes-
timony was confirmed by an Hon. Member. Every
circumstance relative to his appointment was con-
firmed by the corroborating evidence of Mrs.
Clarke, Mr. Howler, and the Right Hon. Gentle.
man opposite, Mr. Long. Mrs. Clarke and Mr.
Dowler had been called conspirators, who held
nocturnal meetings to forward their designs; but
could it for a moment he supposed that the Right
Hon. Gentleman attended these meetings, and
aided their conspiracies ? No such idea could be
entertained. The only cue which attached direct
corruption to his Royal Highness was that of Ken-
net. Here it was proved that a person of infamous
character, who had been some time a bankrupt,
proposed a loan to the Duke of York, and had pro-
mised his Royal Highness should be accommo-
dated to any extent, provided he procured hint a
place. IVithout wishing to • attach the smallest
disg•.ce to Colonel Taylor, it might be fairly come
eluded, that the letter addressed to him bud been
laid before the Duke of York. Contrast this con-
duct of his Royal Highness with that of the Duke
of Portland in a lute instance. The Duke of '
Portland spurned the wretch from his door, who
wished to tamper with the duties of his office, and
indignantly stopped his advancement. But the
Duke of York ! what dots he do? He suffers it to
go on. If this ie not u proof of a corrupt mind,
he could not tell what was. He then remarked
upon the several cases which he thought made out
in evidence, and particularly animudverted upon the-
letter of service granted to Col. French and Cept.
Sandell, which, lie said, was not revoked till men-
tioned in that House ; and that if ever there was a
jab, this was a job; and if a job, it was through the
influence of Mrs. Clarke. 'Where he felt doubt
on the evidence of Mrs. Clarke, lie sought cur-
roloorating circumstances; and it was this in-
duced him to take the case of Kennet into con-
sideration. The Noble Lord then pointed out his'
objections to the original Address, and preferred that
of Mr. Bunke'. He Next remarked upon the course
of proceeding which had been adopted by the
House, and said it would ,have beau more satis-
factory bail the whole been left to a Committee,
where witnesses would huge been examined upon
oath. At present, the great difficulty was in die-
tinguishiiig between what was credible, and what
incredible; what probable, and what improbatile.
There would then not have been those difficulties
which he now felt; he would not then have had
these strong suspicions on his mind. Although he
did not intend to make any fresh aruentlauent oat the
question before the House, still he thought a better
allude would have been, to have laid the whole evi-
dence before the King,which theycould ha ve
companied with strong remarks; it would then have
rested with His Majesty what line sl Id have been
pursued; what the House was then about to do,
amouuted nearly to the same thing, only with less
d. licacy, as it precluded His Majesty from adopting
what might be most suited to his own feelings.
Ile hoped the House would consider bell what they
were about to do ; threats were held over their
heads, both without doors and within doors ; if they
were convinced, ns he thought all must be, that the
Duke of York was not At to retain his office,
neither fear of:favour should deter them kkets.de-
daring their sentiments. Ile would not be de-
terred, because he was the son of,u King ; he had
always thou;lit it objectionable, thut sons of the
King shonld hold places of responsibility ; and if
ever lie felt forcibly the justness of the objection.
he never did so more than then...—The House
felt a difficulty arising from delicacy and respect,
to which it was impossible to be insensible; but that
was not to deter them. They were not going to
address the Kin; to remove the Duke of York,
lint to remove the Commander-in-Chief—(Deer!

had asked, if his Royal Highness were dismissed,
where would you find one so competent to fill the
office ? This was no argument why be should not be
distuissed,if he had acted corruptly. But lie thought
they might hind one as able within their own door.
If lie were another Duke of Marlborough, who
was a greater General, still lie should be removed;
but he was a much greater General; greater thug
his Royal [lightness is, or greater than he is
likely ever to become. The Duke of York
being now fort-five years of age. his habits were
formed; yet they were to hope he. would
whirr. It was a general expectation, that weal=
grow wiser as we grew older; bet if his habits were
formed opou the rudiments of folly, was it not to
be expected that they would grow stronger ?
He hoped the Right lion. Gent. who had said that
infamy most attach to the accuser or the accused,
would come forward, and state to whom it now al-
toadied ; he thought he would final a difficulty to
fix it to the accuser; and if lie fixed it ii son the
accused, he fancied he would find it difficult to re-
main where he was. (Hear ! Hear !). He thought
another Hon. Gent. had placed the Daike of York,
and the House rather in an aukward predicament,
iu bringing down a second accusation on his head,
by laying that foolish letter before the House.
Here the Deka; is made to declare his innocence,
upon the word and honour of a Prince; so that, if
formal guilty of corruption, he must also be found
guilty of falsehood. (Hear! hear!) He did not
think the Hon. Gentleman felt himself aukwardhy
:situated, as he thought his Royal Highness inn..
cent; hut it was nut en with him and-others, who
must now find him guilty of both.
Lord STA WRY tuid, that he did not mean to fol-
low the opinions of others, merely because they
hall the sanction of great authority, but would pro-
ceed to state to the House such as he had formed
in his own judgment, and from a review of the
tiremestanci sof the case. He did not think that
the House was obliged to deckle the case before
them mum mere legal evideme, because be did
it consider the House as a mere legal court ; he
