FROM THE FRENCH AND GOTTENBURCH PAPERS.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MAY 7.—Several decrees have been published te-
specting the Imperial marine. Sixty battalions of marines are
to be formed, who are to serve as the crews of 50 ships of 74
guns. All the sailors who are to belong to a man of war are at
the same time to be cannoneers ; the officers are made responsible
for the instructions of their crew in tnanceuvres and in firing.
Ten battalions of marines have been organised for the flotilla.
Each battalion of Imperial marines is to consist of four hundred
and ninety-one men, Officers included; each battalion which is
to serve in the flotilla shall form nine companies, consisting to-
gether,.officers included, of 1'.!54 men.
A corps 0f25,000 men is on the coasts of Normandy, concern-
ing the destination of which various opinions are formed.
The Moniteur of yesterday, states a variety of circumstances
concerning their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, who
arrived at Bayonne on the last day of April, where, as well as
on the road, they have been received and treated with all the
honour and distinction due to their rank. In half an hour after
their arrival, his Majesty paid them a visit, which was of long
duration. They reside in the Government Palace, while the
Lmperor and Empress have taken up their residence in the cas-
tle of Marrac.
Among the Spaniards who waited upon K ing Charles IV. and
Queen Louisa, was the Prince of Asturias. After the usual sa-
lutatioa, their Majesties retired ; the Prince was desirous to
hill them; but the King prevented him, saying in Spanish.
" Prince, have you not yet enough insulted my grey hairs?"
This made a deep impression upon the Prince, and those who
Isere with him.

King Charles expressed, with all the feeling of an offended
parent, his pain at the conduct of the Prince of Asturias, repeat-
often these words, " Your Majesty knows not w hat it is to
" complain of a son : this is the most cutting affliction that can
" be conceived."

66 contest in st nick he is engaged.
The recent transactions in Spain and Italy have exhibite.:
" new and striking pribel of the unbounded and unprincipled am •
g' bition which actuates the eoatraou enemy of every establisher.
46 and it•dependent Nation in the world.
" His Majesty views with the liveliest interest, the loyal and
ac detet mined Writ manifested by the Spanish Nation, in re-
sisting the violence and perfidy with which their dearest rights
46 have been nssailed.

'4 The Spanish nation, thus nobly struggling against the t'-
" ranuy and usurpation of France, can no longer be consideri
" as the enemy of Great Britain ; but is recognized by his,,;Nia-
" jest.. as a ti.:tural Friend and Ally.
66 We are commanded to inform you that his Majesty has re-
" ceivA communications from several of the provinces of Spain,
" soliciting the aid of his Majesty. The Answer of his Majesty
*' to these communications has been received in Spain, with
" every demonstration of those sentiments of confidence and af-
" fection which are c,ngealal to the feelings and true interest of
" both nations ; his: Majesty commands us to assure you,
46 that he will coi:tinue to make every exertion in his power
" for the support of the Spanish 'catNe : guided in the choice
"and in the direction of his exertions by the wishes of those in
46 whose behalf they are employed.

. .
44 In contributing to the success of this just and glorious cause,
44 his Majesty has no other object than that of preserving Intim-
" pared the integrity and ind:Tendence of the Spanish Nlo-
-44 starchy. But he trusts that the same etibrts which are directed
g 4 to that great object may, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
" deuce, lead in their eTects, anti by their example, to the
46 restoration of the liberties and the peace of Europe."
The Commission for proroguing the Parliament being then
read, the Lord Chancellor addressed both Houses as follows :
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" By virtue of his Majesty's Commission to us and to other
" Noble Lords directed, and now read, we do in his Majesty's
" Dame, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this pre-
" seat Parliament to Wednesday, the 20th day of August next,
ac to be tben here hcidcn and this Parliament is accordingly
6‘ prorogued to Wednesday, the 20th day of August next."
The Coalitions having withdrawn, their Lordships soon after
separated.

Among the grossest of those evils which are imputable to the
Proprietors of our Theatres, are certainly their prejudices, par-
tialities, and t vratnics in relation to Actors. There are ditle-
feta kinds of faults committed by the two directing powers, but
they seem to be faults in their own nature equally pernicious.
The faiths committed at Drury-Lane are of a nature injurious
most to the Proprietors themsekves: while the leading Proprie-
tor of Covent-Garden appears gratify his own inclinations
without the least regard to thlings or to the rights of indi-
viduals. The faults of the one directing power are errors of
judgmeot—those of the other are moral vice. We are not
speaking now at hazard : we ate statin;.; what we know to be
true, and what we will proceed to prove by instances. Lod
first of Drur%- Lane :

In entering on the concerns of Drury-Lane, we have some dif-
ficulty in determining by what name we ought to call the go-
verning power of that theatre. The truth that it has been
governed neither by the proprietors, nor by the acting manager,
bat by intermediate authorities, boards of management. auditors,
and trustees; among whom Mr. Graham, the magistrate, ha'
held the most conspicuous place. Mr. Graham is a man of
great activity and zeal ; hut unfortunately, we fear, of so little
Judgment in theatrical matters, as to he by no means calculated
for the very important office of guiding a theatre. Theatrical
judgment is made up of two qualities—a taste naturally good,
and a long experience. Mr. Graham seems to have begun his
task without either of these qualifications. To be sure, he has
been occupied with this concern for several year, and people
may imagine that by this time he must have at least experience
enough : But that w ill] not do : Experience in these matters is
an admirable improver of natural taste ; but I% ithout natural
taste, it is likely in general :o produce nothing but obstinacy.
There must be good ground for experience to work upon in the
first instance : and without such a ground we laugh at all the
boasts of experience. So one hears a man at his own• how e
sometimes triumphantly declare to his- eatests, that the port he is
then decanting may he warranted exeellentrfor that he himself

in the general Staff, and was eminently useful by his knowledge
of the Spanish language.
The Spanish prisoners restored to. liberty and their country,
by the British Government, sailed from Portsmouth on Friday,
osier the direction of Colonel Doyle and Captain Kennedy, for
Plymouth, from whence they ere immediately to proceed, with
their brethren at that place, for Spain. The whole are to be
newly clothed; and nothing is omitted on the part of Govern-
ment, that can mark a regard for the Spanish Nation, and the
laudable zeal with which we enter into her cause.
We understand that all the Spanish prisoners have been pro-
vided with shoes and other necessaries, and have had also money
given to them, and that 10,000 regimental suits have already
been shipped for the use of the Pat-jots in Spain.
The following is a correct list of the corps of Infantry or-
dered for immediate embarkation, viz.
From Harwich.—The 2d Regiment of Foot, Ist Battalion of
the 4th, '2d Battalion of the 59th, the 20th, and 43d Regiments.
From Chatham.—The t2cl Brigade of the Guards.
Frosa soate.—The 2d Battalion of the 9th, the 2d Bat-
talion of th,r the 53d, 37th, and the 51st Regiments.
From Ire awl—The Ist Battalion of the 26th, the 45th, and
36th Regiments.
It is said that the General of the Spanish lines, on marching
with hi 4 troops to Cadiz, sent word to Sir Hew Dalrymple,
who commands at Gibraltar, that he left the lines " to British
" honour." _

SP‘sisH NAirv.—The Spanish navy, at the end of the year
1795, couisted of 76 sail of the line, 23 of which have been
taken or destroyed ; 5l frigate',' 20 of which have been taken or
de,troyed : 10 corvettes, 9 xehecks, 16 hulks, 43 brigs, 7 ha-
lanitra%, 16 galleys, 22 bombs, 57 pm-boats, 17 howitzers, 5 tar-
ta,is, 12 armed boats, and 5 packets : consequently they have at
pre,ent 53 sail of the line, and 31 frigates, independent of what
may have been built since.

anxious hope and expectation that his Majesty's Ministers
would, in some shape or other, have endeavoured to produce
from that House some declaration of its sentiments with regard
to the interesting affairs of the Spanish nation, under the know-
ledge of those important circumstances which had recently trans-
pired; and he felt some surprise that no such endeavour was
made before the moment destined for the separation of Parlia-
ment. Upon a former night, when the situation of Spain was
in some degree urged upon the consideration of the Hot 1., he
was the person foremost to deprecate discussion on the subject,
and the reason was, because it bad not then been known that
the Spanish nation had, with any thing like a general senti-
ment, declared against the proceedings of the French Govern-
ment towards their country ; in which case, discussion in that
House might expose the Spaniards to the danger of new and ac-
cumulated severities and oppressions. Things had since, how
ever, taken a new turn : the Spanish nation had nehly and
generally declared its determination to resist the tyrannical en-
croachments of France, and had flown to arms for the purpose.
Sincerely did he pray that God might send them success; and
this be was sure was the devout and earnest wish, not onl..
civilized world ; ane
as the intention of his
unanimous desire of
rt which the resources
should be given to the
and glorious struggle.

ACCIDENTS, OFFEN CES, At.

The Westminster Sessions finished yesterday, with a goal de.
livery, when a horde of sturdy vagrants were let loose on the
public. Some of the most daring amongst these beomrs o ere
reprimanded to prison for different periods, and amongst these
were two impostors, ball cd as disabled seamen, of the nam
of Jones and Wood, whose anda;ity surpassed any thing w,.•
heard. They are old faces ab.:ut Charing Cross, and their intat•
tier of terrifying. passengers, by what,is techaiezilly termed ask-
" arms, was: little better than high ay robbery.
FR H PRISON ER rsi.li AL—LOUIS HOW; Bardoeil, a
I.;euteirtnt of the French land forces,' was yesterday taken in

some French forces to St. Domingo. He was: formerly aid-de-
camp to tile noted Itollerpiere. The prisoner wns eosiveyed to
Tothil • fields, Bridewell, and ordered to be conveyed on board
:s prison ship on Monday next.
A melaocholy accident happened between, Ave and six o'clock
Tuesday morning, at the Louse of Lady Campbell, of W impute-
street. Her Ladyship had given a grand supper and holt, at the
conclusion of which as Mr. T. Calvert, a young gentleman, in
(he 211 year of his age, son of Calvert, Esq. of North An"-
ley-street, was dancing a reel with two young Indies, he btoice
a blood vessel, fell down, and instantly expired.
A melancholy accident occurred on Wednesday morning 'in the
Strand, at the home of a shoe-maker near the New Church:
A fine child, of bevel:tee.; mombs old, through the carelesnesi of
a girl, fell down a privy, and was suit, eated before any assist-
ance could be renderer!. The poor infant was telvaTed by the
humane exertions of a enal-parter, in ten inieices- aver it rel
in ; but it was found that its skull was featured by the wall
against which it fell on its descent.

march to Adrianople, in order to unite with the army of the
Grand Vizier, which, last autumn, scarcely amounted to 6000
men, and now, in consequence of the mandates given to all the
Paellas, may consist of 100,000 men. The Paellas of Macedonia
and Romalia have also repaired to Adrianople the Agas of Bul-

ADHRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF PORTUGAL.

Po R 1 UGU ESE—Your lot is perhaps the hardest ever endured
by any people on the earth. Your Princes were compelled to
fly from you. and the events of Spain have furnished au irrefra-
gable proof of the absolute necessity of that !ilea" ure. Yon
were ordered not to defend yourselves, and you did nut defend
yourselves. Junot offered to make you happy, and your hap-
piness has consisted in being treated with greater cruelty than
the most ferocious conquerors inflict on the people whom the 3
have subdued by force of arms, and after the most obstinate re-
sistance. You. have been despoiled of your Prince, 3 our laws,
your usuages, your customs, your property, your liberty, even
your lives, and your holy religion, which your enemies never
have respected, however they may, according to their custom,
have promised to protect it, and however they may affect and
pretend to have any sense of it themselves. Your nobility has
been annihilated, Its property confiscated in punishment of its
fidelity and loyalty.. You have been basely dragged to foreign
countries, and compelled to prostrate yourselves at the feet of
the man who is the author of all your calamities, and who, by
the must horrible perfidy, has usurped your Government, and
rules you with a sceptre of iron. Even now your troops have
left your borders, and are travelling in chains to die in the de-
fence of him who has oppressed you, by which means his deep
malignity may accomplish his purpose, by destroying those who
should constitute your strength, and by rendering their lives Mih-
scrvient to his triumphs, and to the savage glory to which he
aspires.

-tipain beheld your slavery, and the horrible evils which fol-
low•ed it with mingled sensations of grief and despair. You are
her brethren, and she panted to fly to your assistance. But cer-
tain Chiefs, and a Government either weak or corrupt, kept her
iu chains, and were preparing the means by 4% hich the ruin of

ORDERS IN COUNCIL. BILL.

Lent) R..rnuasr moved the first reading of the Orders in
Council Hill.

Lour) GnErerILLE proceeded at considerable length to point
out a variet% of paragraphs in the Bill, introducing rezulatimb
of trade, ‘varehow,ing, &c. totallv irrevelant to a Rill of Sap-
ply, and therefore inadmissible in Oat form, in any degree of
consistency with their Lordship's privileges. Among these he
instanced a clause which, as now w orded, put an end to the
charter of the East India Company. lie also particularly ad-
verted to a clause by which a remedy at law was taken away
from persons complaining of being ac.grievcd under the Orders in
Council, unless their actions were brought w ithin three months
from the commission of the act complained of. As these Orders
had now been in force upwards offeur months, he thought such
a dance was, with respect to the niajorit \ of those aggrieved,
adding loath to injury. He concluded unit moving that the
Bill he rejected.
Loren esrlissarnr was of opinion,that the Order of 1702 had
not been rigidly insisted on in the case of several Money Hills
within the last half century. Ile should propose to read the
Bill now a first time, and then to have it printed ; with the view
of its being read a seemid time on WedneAay, should the prints
be then on the tahle.—Ordered.

Lord Lake's Annuity Bill wns, after a few words from Lor&
Grosvenor and Harrowby, read a third time and passed.—Ad-
jourued.

TVESDAV, MARCH
The Mutiny Bill was brought up from the Commons, and
read a first time.

REVERSIONARY GRANT RILL.

Lorin RISS:OEM.4LE entered into a detailed repetition of the
arguments which lie formerly urged against the Bill, and to
which he said he had heard nothing like an answer.

He objected to it as tending to infringe nu the prerogatives of
the Crown, the influence of which was now considerably less
than forme ;as trenching upon the privileges of their Lord-
ships, by springing out of a resolution and address of the other
Douse, in consequence of the rejection of a similar measure last
Session ; and, above all, as being the commencement of a s)steni
of innovation which might ultimately lead to the subversion of
the Constitution. _ _

Loan Goer., at considerable length, controverted the argu-
anents of Lord Rede4ale.

lord Holland, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Ifawke,burv,
then made a few remarks on a point of order connected with the
exhibition of proxies; and, a division taking place, the Bill
was rejected by a majority, proxies included, of 128 to db.—
Adjourned.

WED N r.st m nc tit 18.

Lord Grenville moved the Order of the Day f,07 refulting the
udioulaed debate on the motion for rejecting the Oilier,. in
Council Bill, on the ground of iti being a violatioa of the Stand-
ing Order of 110-1.
Lunn 114wKrsnrrzy quoted a variety of precedents in the

reign of Queen Anne, and of late years, to prove that this
Order was not so strictly interpreted, as to preclude the intro-
duction of Bills from the other !louse because they contained
matter not absolutely necessary to be inserted in a Mime% Bill.
The words of the 'Order described the interdicted clauses as
being " foreign to and different from" the matter of the Hill.
Yet such had been the practical latitude of construction giycu
to these words, that in many of the Money Acts which he enu-
merated, there were clauses which very nearly, if not alto-
gether, came within the prohibition. From this circum-tance
the Noble Lord inferred, that the }loose looked nut merely to
the form, but to the design of a Bill sent up to them; their
chief object being to prevent any attempt to fetter their right of
free discussion by the custom or locking. which was so fre-
quently attempted a little before. the euacttneut of the Staadlug
Order.

tillery, cavalry, and infantry. The I reach have also marched

greater part of Holstein, not excepting Rendsberg, the King .1-
Denmark's residence, is full of French and Spanish troops.
In three days the whole Spanish army, under the command
of the Marquis of Romagna, will have left Ilamburgh and
its environs, to proceed through Holstein over the 1-le!ts

sins of the French Ruler on the poorer classes of society.
