Whilst the skill of Lord WELLINGTON and the
dreaded valour of our troops still hold in check, the
army sent forth to conquer under MASSENA, a new
field of hope slowly opens in the northern parts of
Earope. Russia, long suffering under the oppres-
siveffiendship of France and frequently warned by
the vice of the English Press, of the dangers which
a lin:low peace accumulated around her, is at last,
if rumours may be credited, aware of her impending
fate. She has banished from her councils the agents
of INIAr(V.EON, and by degrees assumes an attitude
of distrust, if not of hostility. These symptoms of
reviving feeling and energy have, it is added, en-
couraged an illustrious rrince, now a wanderer on
our shores, to claim ALEXANDERI co-operation, and
with the assistance of his troops and of our fleets to
snatch tha Swedish throne from the hands of an
ambitions relative, and a foreign upstart. In a
short time, Gvsr.tvus ADOLPHUS is expected to em-
bark, and from the activity of his mind, the
energy of his chharacter, and his chivalric he-
roism, great expectations may justly be
formed. On re-entering his kingdom, hosts of
friends will spring around him. Surprise and fear
bad chained their swords when the sudden over-
throw
,of his power took place. To surprize, indig-
nation has now succeeded ; to fear, resentment.—
The weakness of the Usurper, the election of a
French Military upstart, and the nearly total wreck
of trade, have opened the eyes of the least discern-
ing. They now recollect the virtues of their exiled
and. heroic Monarch ; they remember the solemn
engagements which they contracted with his mur-
dered father,. when he placed his first born in their
arms. Thiitender and dignified address, so full of
natural and patriotic affection, of confidence and
magnanimity when in 1778 he opened the States of
tie realm, will revive in their memory and con-
science, will imperiously demand how they have
repaid the noble trust placed in them by their great
and unfortunate Monarch :
" Ere many days are elapsed I hope to lay within your pro-
tecting arms, the child whom Ptovhience vouchsafes to grant
me as the comforter of 'my age and the supporter of my
thr one.

" To whom could I entrust with more confidence this pledge,
which next to my kingdom is dearer to my heart than any thing
else on earth, but to you, Gentlemen, who represent the nation ?
We are all hitherto Ignorant of the see of the being appointed
by Providence to succeed me ; but whatever it be, I shall wel-
come it with equal gratitude, confident that if it is a daughter
you will protect the weakues of her sex. Should Providence
crown her manifold blessings by granting me a son, never forget
that your arms will have carried hint to the altars of the Al-
Mighty, and that with the seal of religion you have rendered
still more sacred die &ides which nature had imposed upon you
ctowswasaltell dowp with me the blessings of the Omni-
potent on d of that son, for wl,pm I claim your love, and
the fruits of the gratitude which I may have excited and deserv-

SUBSIDY. TO PORTUGAL
The order of the day being read for taking into consideration
the Message of the Regent concerning the Subsidy to Portugal,
Marquis Wet.i.r.sLEy, after expatiating •on tSe necessity, as
well as the policy of continuing. ode 'exertions in Portugal, and
bestowing much praise on the Portuguese troops, for their stea-
din_.ss and bravery in the late campaign, moved an address to the
Prime Regent, in answer to the Message.
Lord GRENVILLE spoke at great length in opposition to the
inot4in ; he thought their Lordships, by sanctioning this Reso-
lution, would go on rapidly accumulating the already over-
whelmiug expenditure of the country, and would accelerate that
ruin whi,.ll wit, fast approaching.
Lord Li v r.RPOOL replied to Lord Grenville, and the motion
was agreed to without a division.

FRIDAY, MARCH W.
The Royal Assent was this day given by Commission to four
Public and nine Private Bills. The Public Bills were the Mu-
tiny. Bill, the, Marine Mutiny Bill, the Population Bill, and a
Bill to regulate the Wages of Workmen employs•cl in Silk Ma-
nufactures. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
the Duke of Montrose, and the Earl of Aylesbury. TwO Pub
lic BilLs, the Irish Sugar Exportation Bill, and the Irish Linen
Exportation Bill (Bounty Bills) were i-titd a second time; and
sevoral Inclosure Bills, sent up from the Commons, were read a
first time. After which the I louse adjourned.

SPILSBY PAUPERS.

Sir S. Romier.r (hearing the second reading of the Spilsby
I-louse of Industry Bill moved) objected to it. The Bill, In his
view of it, contained provisions unknown to the justice of the
country, provisions which empowered the Ma-ter of this indus-
trious establishment to punish the intllittes of its house, not only
with privation (1 food, and by frogging in the storks, but even
with solitary confinement—and this without limit. Nor wzs
flits- the only fault in the Bill: should any pauper damage the said
House of Industry, the endamagement of such building was
here made felony. This was not the worst. The present Bill
authorised the Directors of this Establishment to let out the
poor within its walls, like job-negroes, to work any where; and
if these slaving paupers happened not to do work enough, or not
to return in time to their house, they were to he accordingly
chastised, at the discretion, however, of their Directors. He
could not, therefore, regard this Act in any other light than as
an Act for introducing and establishing a system of pauper-sla-
very. Private Bills of this description were, in fact, too little
scrutinized by the MeMbers of that House, who were frequently
unknowingly made parties to measures which would otherwise
never have obtained their asgent. In fact, he (Sir S. komilly),
from the avocations in which he was necessarily engaged, should,
perhaps, have been unapprised of the contents of the present
Bill, had not its obnoxious provisions been pointed out to him by
a Noble Lord.
Sir .Tastes Oltil RAM assured the House of his being, till
now entirely unacquainted with the particular provisions of the
Bill in question ; which had been regularly introduced, and had
also heen delayed for the purpose of meeting any objections that
might he urged on the part of those who best understood ir. He
was, however, p&rfectly willing to postpone the secsind reading
of the Bill till to-morrow week.
The motion of adjourning the second reading of the Spilsby
I-I,)use of Industry Bill, until to-morrow week, was .now put,
and agreed t u.•

DOLLARS.

Lord GRI±NVILLtt was aware of the high importance of the
suh4ect for yvhich their Lordshys were ;,rineipally assembled,
and should not take up much of their time in what he felt it
necessary to suggest previously. But he ceuki apt help, in a
s;,ecial manner, to solicit the attention of' the House to a pro•
ceeding the most extraordinary he belioed of any that eater
occurred in this country—wit waa that in which the Governor
and Directors of the Bank had presumed to exercise the highest
act of Royal authority, iq altering the value of the current coin
of the country ; an ;tilt by which all ideas of the monarchy were
confeended. It any thing could render such a proceeding more
alarming, it was, that it was said to have been adopted by this
advice of the Privy Council, and that too at a time w'ait, it was
notorious that the other House of Parliament way ..ctualiy
engaged on the very same subject...He was aware, indeed, of
a wretched quibble which might be resorted to, in a denial that
dollars were the legal current cam of the kingdom; hut such
evasion was unworthy of notice. it was plain that a private
Company, who could not reasonably be b'amed if they preferred
their own interest to that of the State or the Community, had,
with the consent or by the advice of the Ptivy Council, made
'an alteration in the current coin of the realm, which may ha
attended with, or lead to, the most fatal Cqnsequenees. His
I.ordship concluded with moving, that there be laid before the
House a C Tr of the Notice issued by the Governor and Direr.

Lord BATHURST stated, that the measure complained of was
certainly adoptc:cl with the censcrit of his Majegy's Minirers,
who should hold themselves responsible whenever the question
should come to be discussed. It was in fact a measure of tie.
cessity, arising from the advanced price of silver.

DEFENCE OF POR *FUGAL.

Difr. PERCEVAL, in a Committee of Supply, to which the
Prince R. ge;a's message relative to the Portuguese Grant had
been referred, rose to propose the sum of two millions for the
nc.:• of that kingdom this year. In rising, he said, to call the
attention if the House to the subject of Portugal, he could not
forbe,n- i 4' !Mg the hope, that he would experience little or no
oppositio„ .0 the resolution which he intended to submit to the
Committee; althoua•h there has been sonic oppoSition in the
conve of the last Session, and though the sum for the assistance
of the -Portuguese was very materially increased, yet circum-
stances had so much altered, that it was not likely a similar oh.
it-talon should be urged, even to the larger sum. lie concluded
by moving a Resolution, which was in some measure an echo of
the concluding part of the Regents' Message; " that two millions
be granted to the Regent acting in the name and on behalf of
hig Majesty, to maintain 30,n00 Portuguese in British pay, and
' to be tardier applied to the aid of Poi tugal in the present con-
test, in such a manner as circumstances should appear to
require."
VoNsortav said, that his greatest apprehensions of the
eotttenuences to which a perseverance iii the present measures
mifht lead, originated from that treaty by which we had blindly
and impolitically bound to wage war against France in the
Peninsula, until FerdiAand should be resored to the throne ofhis
ancestors. This we had engaged to do, without reserve or ex-
ceUtion. Could the Right Honourable Gentleman bring forward
any argument to justify this rash an ; most improvident 'engage-
ment ? While we were called on to maintain the war on such a
Trill: isle, he was unable to see when there could be a limit to it.
111.2 Riala Honourable Gentleman Ir d stated that the reason
for a: kind a larger vim this year than was voted in the last Session
was. that the contributions of the Portuguese were intercepted
by the euemy, that the means fell into the enemy's hands. the
French had occupied, it seems, so large a portion of the Portu-
guese t errirory, that their Finances could not be brought to the
support of the common cause. How wad this to be reconciled

yti $ rotnt we cot scarcely hope for any authestlic

private letters horn the Army, except those from
persons in the confidence of the Commander in

Chief, they are hilt the echoes of vague rumours,

variable and unauthenticated, and therefore not en-

titled to the smallest credit. It is truly ridiculous

to observe the affected accuracy with tvhich some

of the publ;c pri►►ts give, as correct, statements
foupded on authotities winch no military man

ANHOLT MAILS.
• The intelligence hrcught by the two Anholt Mails
wliich arrived last Fliday, is not of an important
nature. The chief fact mentioned, is t' e opening
of Dantzic, as a free port, to the commerce of all
nations, Great Britain excepted, and the reduction
of the duties one-third. This at first would seem a
relaxation, if not an abandonment of the continental
system, but when the season of the year at whi. h
this decree passed, is considered, it will be found

that its effect must be little less of being totally nu-
gatory. This port is opened at'a time when it must
shortly be closed by the ice, which in that northern
Climate sets in aboUt the middle (.f October, so that,
in fact, Dantsic has little more than one month
allowed for trade ; and as it is impossible the infor-
mation of its being declared a free port can reach
the American coasts, or even the ships at sea in
another lat itude, in time to enable them to repair so
far up the Baltic, this apparent indulgence toe town
pnce most flourishing in the annals of commerce,
must be looked on only as a blind to appease dis-
contents without granting any real advantage. It
-is probable, that towards the return of summer, this
koasted freedom will be annulled, and this imperial
Moat on the Dantzicers, will then be fully accom-
plished. It is added in the same papers, that the
-King cf PRUSSIA has granted a similar reduction of
duties in his dominions, 4g in order to maintain
equality in commercial relations." This is of a
piece with the preceding intelligence, at a time
when the introduction of merchandize by sea into
kip States must necessarily tease. An article from
berlin, dated August tir 6th, states, that gg the
Members of the states who were lately arrested
are still in Spandau, and that their detention is only
a correctional measure, the KING not being inclined
to institute a criminal process against them."

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

At this house nothing of importance has occurred in the course
girdle week. A Mrs. MINTON, from Newcastle, came out on
Friday, in The Road to Ruin, in the character of Sophia Free-
kat. Her performance had nothing in it to call fur particular
observation. A first appearance is, in most instances, to the
disadvantage of a female performer. She was favourably re-
ceived ; but I am not prepared to say she is likely to prove to the
Theatre an acquis:tion of importance.
Tire regular Season is now at its close, as the period allowed
ter Dramatic perforniances at this Theatre extends but from the
Isth of May to the 15th of September. It is, however, under-

immediately sent back to their respective barns. I wish them
safe back to the places from whence they came, with all my
heart. All the principal actors are expected to be retained.—

Those productions which are ushered into the world as Ope-

any exertion to form an ingenious plot is reckoned in a great

EXPORTING GOLD.

Yesterday, a long investigation took place at the Mansion
House, before the LORD MAYOR, under the following eircuta-
stanees:--On Friday evening, Mr. Lawless, one of the Inspector:
of the Post-Office, being on duty, observed two small boxes on
the roof of the Dover mail coach, with a great coat thrown care-
lessly over them; being cant' ury to the regulations, he proceed-
ed to examine them ; when hi: suspicions of their content. were
confirm el, and having obtained the assistance of another officer,
he removed them to the Post-Office for further investigation. A
gentleman who had taken his place in the mail, claimed the
boxes as his property, and being interrogated as to their contents,
he answ:Ted they contained cash, but declined saying of what
description. In the meat time, Mr. Leak, an Inspector of Cus-
torils, being sent for, arrived, and on examining into the bu :-
mess, directed that the boxes should be deposited at the Mansion
House until a proper investic.tion should be made belle the
Lord Mayor. This investigation took place yesterday, when it
arpea red, that the boxes contained 7000). in guineas, hall guineas,
and seven shilling pieces. They were carelessly tied up with-
out any direction upon them. The money was counted, put into
hags, and rifirked at the house of one King (a discarded mail-
coach guard) who resides in the neighbourhood of the Pos -
Office. and by wh m they were conveyed to the mail coach.—
'the guard being examined, denied any knowledge whatever of
their contents, any prissri;y to the transacts. n. A Mr. Col-
let also attended who stated himself to have formerly been th,
partner of a Mr. Tunsir of Dover, whom he alleged to be the
owner of the property, but denied any participation in it him.

NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.-

Pears are entertained that the Conflict gun-brig, lieut.
Batt, has gone to the bottom, with every soul on board Ler.
The Conflict, on the nth of November, was cruising in company
with the Arethusa, off the coast of Spain, when a dreadful gale
came on ; and the Conflict was seen, towards night, in • great
distrei3. Next morning she was not to be. seen.
The Economy transport, Capt. Gordon, arrived at Ports-
mouth, latt week, with the lois of he,r rudder, and greatly
damaged: she had engaged a French privateer, armed with 16
guns, and full of men, for four hours. '1114; Economy was
from Gibraltar, with a number of deserters on board front
the French armies in Spain, who fought and defended the
ship most gallantly. Capt. Gordon and two men were slightly
wounded. •
Upwards of 600 sail of ships have arrived this year at Quobec
for timber, and the exertions which arc making to give etlect to
the same, by the erection of steam engines, &c. cantle* fail to
render it more advantageous to Great Britain, as IS will super-
sede, in a great measure, the importations from Isloovity, or the
Baltic.

rienced hands, even supposing it to be overgrown, it
could never prove an engine of evil ? And yet thee
bodies who become, as interest directs, the organs
of the most opposite sentiments, still boast, we
hope unjustly, of the confidence of the people, upon
whom they daringly call to share their corrupt in-
consistency ! They drop the mask of t atriotism
which they wore, to assume that of loyalty : but
forget their King, to hail the rising power of a
Regent, whose cause needed no-snch aid ; whose dig-
nified mind views their delertion with becoming
contempt, and will reward their time-serving with
Just neglect. Assisted by a crowd of weathercock
writers, they now crouch servilely at his feet ; and
in order, as they wrongly fancy, the more effec-
tually to attract his notice, and divert the stream of
his favours upon themselves, publicly renounce, not
only their own patriotic doctrines, but the political
creed Of their country. They will not allow the
PI tricE to be satisfied with the portion of authority
with which Parliament invests him. They tell
him that to elect him Regent without dethroning
his father, is to abridge his rights and insult his
dignity : and that the British Crown is the property
of his House, and not .that of the nation ! who
placed it on the head of his forefathers as a sacred
trust, not a gift. These are snares which his mind
is too sound not to perceive : enticements, which
his heart is too loy;,1 not to scorn. They mock
his sense and his filial love : bitt they shall have
their reward, and when these men find that places
arid pensions have eluded their grasp, a new revo-
lution will be operated in their sentiments. Reform
will again be their th?me : the influence of the
Crown will once more be represented as baneful ;
the rights and liberties of the people as in danger ;
and the late outcry against abuses will anew re-
echo ihrough the land.

These prognostics of disappointment and revived
patriotism, are not foreign to their minds. Their
conscience often made them, but caution dissipated
their alarm, by suggesting means to render rewards
certain, even independently of the Regent's will.
For this purpose, the chiefs of this political heresy,
who, by their writings, inflame and direct the
opinions of the unreflecting, have erected themselves
into a body, totally unknown to the Constitution,
which forms a step between the Commons and the
People, similar to that of the Princes between the
King and the - Peers. This body consists of the
Editors- of the once patriotic and now place-hunting
Weekly Prints, who, after declaring- themselves,
the Representatives (g. their Readers, have already
l'cise the functions of their new
lase the weight of their usurped
cffairs of the State. This assume.
