that before their passing, the customs of France were much greater than I

it worilet of c:eion the loss of nearly halt the trade of Europe. He would
ask the elobie Marquis, whether he forgot that iu the year MO, the
trade of this country was greater by B,eetterel than in any forint r year ?
And he recollected. when at that time ate. t:: ale becane• a suliject of
discussion, a Noble lee d ereosite had attributed that peosperity to the
Orders now so much compluintel of; and it wes rather strange that
what, in lel e, had been the source Of prosperity, should now be repre-
sented a. a production of the very contrary eth•ct. •I'he trade to the
Baltic was not at present very prasperous and that was attributed, but
very unjustly, to the Orders in Council. If the last three years were

of 10.4)0,0001 than in any three precedieg years. 'file trade to Canada
had been needy doubled. It was a fact, that the trade with America
It el b en greater while the embargo comiuued than before; and, after
that. he did net teink that any person could, with justice, say that the
embarrassment to trede arose from any interruption of our commercial

great measure, 1. um the vrog:•eti3 the French power had made in the

LATE. DISCUSSIONS.

The debate on the State of the Nation, which took place
in the House of Commons on Thursday last ; and that on
the Orders of Council, introduced on Friday in the House
of Lords, by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, have been very
far from producing on the public mind that effect which
the aristocratical junta too confidently expected from those
hackneyed tricks. They had, no doubt, selected with great
wisdom, subjects so extensive, and so difficult to be
understood, that in the common course of debate any
common-place politician might appear to as much advant-
age as the most profound Statesman. And so. sensible
were they of this, that, in the House of Lords, neither
Lord GREY nor Lord GRENVILLE) MO great pillars of the
State, took any share in a discussion so materially affect-
ing the vital interests of the empire; while, in the House
of Commons, the task of introducing a motion was left to
the officiousness of the ingenious Sir THOMAS TURTON.
The debates have been read by the public with apathy, as
provoked merelyby party spirit—non pugnant sed ri.rantuer,
they quarrel for places, but do nor fight for the coun-
try," has been evident to the meanest understanding.
Mr. PERCEVAL broadly hinted his opinion on the subject to
Sir THOMAS TuturoN, whom he considered (good man!)
as unconscious of the trick ; and the great majority of both
Houses have done justice to those pseudo-patriots by re-
jecting their motions.

PREROGATIVE COURT, DOCTOR'S COMMONS.

EVANS V. RIDLEY.
This was a question arising on the validity of the will of Mr. Thos.
Ridley, of Tothill street, Westminster, who died in the month of May,
1810. The will was supported on the part of Mr. John Evans, the sole
executor named in it ; and opposed by Mr. Wm. Ridley, the testator's
son, who was disinherited by it.
The complete execution of the will was proved by the subscribing
witnesses; and a variety of other evidence was adduced to prove the
testator's regard for Mr. Evans,who was the person principally benclitad,
and his dislike of his sln ; as also to repel the allegations made on his
part, which, it was contended, was fully done; and the execution of the
will therefore not being impeached upon good grounds, the Court must
pronounce for its validity.
On the part of the son several witnesses were produced to prove his
father's affection for him; that his (the testator's) intellects were con.i.
derably disordered by ie immoderate use of spirituous liquors, and
coutinued so till his death ; that he was dozing, and nearly in a stare of
insensibility, occasioned by drunkenness at the time of making his will;
and that he was dectAved into the commission of that act, and after-
wards prevented from altering it by the artifices of Mr. Evans. These
circumstances, it was contended, the evidence fully established ; and the
will, therefore, not being properly supported, must be pronounced in-
,
valid.

Sir low.; ?imam:. recapitulated the" evidence, from which he
thought it was apparent that there was no clandt stinky in the transac-
tion of the will, and that the execution of it being detailed by
whose evidence wasp:. rfectl y unimpeached, must ha considered as fully
proved ; the only ground of oppositiu.! then was, that of the capacity/
of the testator being afiectt.d by drunkenue,s ; but from the geut•ral
state of the evidence upon this point, he thought that when sober there
was no!appearance of a derangement of intullects.
Upon the whole of the evidence, thercf we. the Cotton did not think
itself warranted in entertaining a doubt of rho authenticity of this
will, which was therefore pronounced valid ; but in consideration of
the peculiar situation of the son in opposing it, unaccompanied by a dis-
cree for costs.

LAST NIGH 1 'S MAIL.

A mail arrived from Jamaica, and a bag of letters from
Heligoland ; but neither bring intelligence of any mo-
ment. By the Vigilant, which left Malta on the 26th of
January, we learn, that the appointment of the PRINCE
ROYAL of SICILY, as Vicar-General of the k inglom, has
g;ven general satisfaction to the people (the official do-
cument will found in another part of our paper.)—By the
same conveyance, we have received a copy of the armis-
t,ce concluded between the Turks and the Russians, on
the 2d of December last ; but its having been subsequent-
ly broken, renders it of little interest, and we have, be-
sides, received it too late for insertion.

PORTUGAL.
The last intelligence from our army in Portugal, is of
the sth of February. Lord WEL! txorom's headquarters
Were At Freneida. MARMONT had retired behind the Tor-

occupied only by light parties of the enemy ; even S•ila-

would fall further back on Valladolid, or even on Burgos,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAY, FEB. '24.
RFPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
Lord Footea roNtt wished to draw the attention of the House to
the very great amount of foreign forces now in the pay of this Govern-.
went ; not merely those employed on foreign service, but the great
numb, rs also which had Litely been enlisted, and were now retained on
our home establishment. rt was most extraordinary, that these forces
should, in the course of a few yearq, have encreased froM .)O0 to
_30,C00 rm_n, and this aQain;t. the law of the land; for there were only
two-Acts which applied to foreign troops being allowed to he brought
into the kingdom, viz. the 10th and 46th of the King; and those were
b;:t:1 Acts of Intkinnity brought forward to protect his Majesty's Mi-
n:sters, from being limier the necessity of introducing foreign troops
into the ciAmtry, and at that time the greatest number not amounting
to more than 15,000 men. He had, however, been informed, that
Ilppli,:otion had been made to enlist French prisoners, and that
of !rise had been taken into our service from 1 artmoor prison. He.
I,e!et.l leave also to remind the House, that many foreign officers were
!,t.tvitig in our regiments, which was expressly contrary to Act
of Parliament. Foreign Generals commanded corps in our army; and

he had evcn I,4!tm informed, there was one foreigti General whO corn

minded a distriLr.
Lo•d PALM TO N believed the Noble Lord had been misinformed.
lkommd certainly been allowed to Germans, who had been taken pri-
soners in the French armies, to enlist into the German Legion, but no
Frenchman hail Leen so enlists& With regard to foreign officers, there
w is an Act which authorized the King to avail himself of the services
Of foreign oiTic. rs. It the Noble Lord would recollect, he would find
that the 97th regiment was originally composed entirely of foreigners,
though it was now wholly E' glisb. With respect to any foreign Gene-
ral's cQjnmanding a dbitrict, the Noble Lord had certainly b. en misin-
formed. General Liniingen w:l9 not in command of a district, but only
of a corps of troops of his own country.
Mr. Lmait said, when he saw Buonaparte forcing into his armies,
not only single recruits, but whole regiments at a time, of any power
on the Continent, he thought proper to make choice of, it would be
impossible that with our comparatively small population, we could
contend with him, if not allowed to recruit our foreign forces, which
had bent allowed to be taken into our pay in the manner which had
liaLert been resorted to.

BIM AP RT C. This is a situation of thtngs .vll eh may
well console E"glatid and Russia for the saci.:fi( es they have
:wale, and encourage them to prosecute the contest with
vigour commensurate 'with its magnitude.
The eves of the whole world arc now fixed on England,
to see- what exertion she w;11 make in the great cause.
The subjugated states of Germane, look with trembling
anxiety to the part this country may take, in the hope that
the hour is nearly arrived, when they may venture to spurn
the yoke of France, and avenge the wrongs they have sus-
tained, aed the enormities of which they have been the
bleeding witnesses. At such a period, the conduct of Mi-
nisters in proposing a grant of 200,0001. in ;-,id of the suf-
fering Ru:sians is, we think, founded Ili sound policy, and
we are satisfied that this will he the opinion of almost every
well informed man in the. empire.
But Mr. \ViiiTEREaO, when the subject was broached,
thought, that instead of alleviating the sorrows of our allies,
we ought to assist those -who arc suffer ing at home. From
this, it should seem, he compares the distresses, (,f our ma-
nefacturers, who are out of employ, with tlnAe to which a
large portion of the subjects of Russia have been exposed.
That many of our countrymen are obliged to submit to se-
vere privations, is a melancholy fact, which we are con-
strained to rahnit and to deplore, but aro their sufferings to be
compared to those which must be endured by that ill-fated
people, who are exposed to the barbarities ef a ferocious in-
vader ? Are the sorrows cf the unfortunate English, who
want employment two or three days in the week, to he put
by the Ode of those which must be endured by the Russiati
people, who see their hatable dwellings destroyed to blast
the hopes of the enemy, and find themselves left r posed to
the rigours of winter (a Russian winter), alike destitute of
shelter and of sustenance? e the evils of which our ma-
nufacturing classes complain, while compelled with their
child' en to submit to severe labour to earn a scanty pittance,

LETTERS OF LORD WELLINGTON TO THE EMPF,ROr,

AND Elt.--RUI N OF TUB FRENC:I GRAND ARMY.
We have learnt from unquestionable art:horitv, that onr
immortal Commander in the Peninsula wrote two letters, a
few mouths since, to the Emperor of Rossi/1, in which he
expressed " his firm confidence that the plan of retreatine,ad
destroying the country, adopted by the Russian (general',
would be attended with the happiest results. He felt autho-
rized to state this by his own experience, having ascertained
the efficacy of that system in his campaign with
He earnestly advised his IMPERIAL M AjEST to persevca,,
and had no doubt but the deeper the French should pePo
trate into his country the more certain would the neccsitv
of their retreat become, and the greater would be the dimi•
nution of their force. By repeating the same line of con.
duct, should they attempt a fresh invasion, he wa: convinA
the very last regiment of the'enemr might be annihiLred."
Such were the sentiments expressed by a-Commander, who,
though carrying on a most important and difficult ea;PN;:n
himself, against superior nuLthers, at one extremity of
rope, could follow the movements of contending armies ;It
the other, and assist the Allies of his country with the Cuiti
of his expel ience and wisdom. That his letters have ol‘ol
to confirm the resolution of ALEXANDER, when te tide of
destruction that had overwhelmed one of his capithals, daTat
cried to swallow up his whole empire, it is not unrelsi•nah.:.
to infer. The opinion of the conqueror of Salamanca
have been considered as an oracle spoken by victory
and foreboding success. And how has the prophetic inn.
illation been realized ? The Russians persevered, thougtlrh tir

POLITICiaL

SUCCESSES IN THE NORTH, AND PAIILIANIENTARY
CRAM TO THE St:M:ENG RUSSiANS.

All e: es have long been anxiously turned towards the
North, and the glorious intelligence received in tie come
uf the week has warmed all heats, and cheered those who
most desponded. Instead of the usual croakings about
gteomvj)rospects and alarming apprehensions, loud congra-
tulations burst on the ear from every quarter, and all is
exulnaeion and hope. But one feeling is known, or at least
avowed, a feeling of unbounded, undivided admiration of
the uccessful exertions of that gallant people, whose over-
whelming masses are now, for the first time, fairly opposed
t the lesions of France. Even Ve Morninz Chroricie kts
read it: recantation in form, and now feels, very properly.
ashamed of itself. Roused to approve and to rejoice, it no
t;er shocks its readers by a display of levity, like that
which disgraced its columns when Moscow fell, and which
rit had Len witty, would have deserved reprobation, as a
brutal mockery
.of calamity, hut which, as it 'was-, excited
cotitein:)t fur its dullness, and abhorrence b the want ef.
feeling which it proclaimed. All seem to be united, and
indeed all must be, if we except one—that writer whose
impudence and scurrility, are only equalled by his vanity
arid folly—he who thinks himself a personage of such vast
inmortance, that every newsoaper squib must of riece,sity be
dictated by the Government of the country. against him—
he who, ever aping JUNIUS, is constantly telling the public
who V ETus is pot, with as much pomp and grave formality,
as if any erre cared who VET CS is—he alone may feel &s-
-at pointed and dejectel at the fate of his fine predictions.
lle may have reason to mourn, since our Ally is saved and
France defeated, th.lugh the Marquis of WEE e ESL EV is nei.
tlier Prime Minister of England, nor Emperor of Russia.
At this moment, when the tide of war rolls back its deso
Lting horrors on, those who caused it to flow, the awfully
interesting picture which we are called upon to contemplate:
cannot be surveyed by men of common feeling without
emotion. Humanity must weep the sufferings of the fallen
thousands, whose blood pollutes the snow which covers the
plains over which they have been marcLud: but even Pi.v
must exult in her tears, to sec the calao:itics which guilt and
ambition have e,i)sed, retorted on their criminal author.

Staroy Borisow, Nov. 19.

The winter is now completely set in. The army is in ex-
cellent spirit., though night bivouacking on the ground does
rot agree with them well. Some of the lath of Pali.; who
were formerly mechanics, have constructed very neat bed-
steads of ice, which arc found of great service. The sheets
furnished in these parts, are beau tifolly 'white. The army is
well supplied with most of the necessaries of life. Snow, in
particular, is so abundant, that every one gets as much as he
wants, for nothing. A scarcity of shoes is felt: but these are
things the soldiers of NAPOLEON the Great do 'not stand
upon.
• On the 17th, a cloud of Cossacks attacked Prince Ec
MUHL. The enemy was defeated, and our brave fellows
took possession of a forest in their rear with little difficulty,

with the exception of 9,170 men, who march towards Mos-
cow, in order to intercept the Russian supplies: Prince EcK-
num. covered himself with glory, all of which he carried
with him to Liadi, on which place he made a movement
alone. The weight of his glory was so great, that he jud,;ed
it prudent to leave his Marshal's baton hebind.
On the following day the Duke of Etc in tGEN covered
himself also with glory, all of which, together with a wound, •
he carried across the Dnieper. The Russian General Mr
LARADOVTTCII was completely defeated, his Nvhole army
stabred, and he himself was glad to consent, on a flag of truce
fteing sent to him at midnight; to allow 1-2,0013 of our sol-
diers to join their comrades on the way to Mo3cow.
What the EMPEROR'S next movement will be is not
known. Some think he will go to Callicia on a visit to his
father-in-law ; others imagine lie will imitate Co ART. LS
the XIETn. of Sweden, by paying his compliments to the
Ottoman Porte. Perhaps he will quit the army as he did in
Egypt, to prepare for the reception of his soldiers at Paris.
Whatever this father of soldiers may decide upon, there is
Ito doubt of its beim?, exactly what could be wished ; and as
ire knows his life is dearer to every man in the army than his
own„ his parental anxiety will doubtless consult the f.elings
of his soldiers, by endeavouring in the first instance to pro-
vide for his own safety.

The weather is beautiful, the roads superb, the snow en-
chantinu,ly white, the ice refreshingly cool, the bail remark-
ably soft, the EMP EROS health excellent, bls condition
ollightful!

of Ireland, psi tly the imposition of stamps on Poliries of Insorance,
Iniltictions of Bishops, Bonds, and other instruments not bi lure

now required to be stamped. He also had to propose a Resolution
which would equalize the Custom Duties of the two countries, by

EXTRNSIVR ROBBER v.—Wednesday, Ann Collins, housemaid of
John Lake, Esq. of Grosvenor•place, Pimlico, was charged at this
office with having robbed that gentleman of money, plate, jewels,
linen, and household property to an immense extent and amount.
Collins had long been in the family, but never suspected, till some
notes, gold, and half doubloons were missed. It was then disco-
vered that she cohabited w ith a wearer residing in Spitalfieldii,
where she went very often. A search warrant was obtained to ex-
amine the weaver's apartments, and Mr. Lake accompanied the
officers as one of them, but he was no little surprised to find 11;e
phase most richly furnished with his own property, and with articles
that lie had no idea of having lost. Abundance of Ibien, plate,
glass, decanters, knives and forks, &e. were found, and it iequirvd
a large cart to remove the whole. Collins was afterwards taken
into custody by Garner, the officer, when she partly confessed her
guilt; but site afterwards denied ever, thirg,—Committcd.
