the -25th of February, and, on the 7.64.11, you disembarked at
.Afgesiras, with your division, and the Spaniards. Tell us, then,
why yr,u Undertook this military promenade, and incurred so
;urge an expense ? Voti intended to turn the lines of the Duke
of ficiluno—have you claire it? Your design vas to raise the
.siege of Cadiz—have you done it ? If you carried every thing
before you, wiry did you stop half way ? It was not in the Isle
of Leon, but at Chiclana, which is but a very short distance
'from it, that. the field of battle was, where you expected to take
up your quarters on the night of the sth. You would have taken
100 pieces of cannon, 60 gun-boats, and immense magazines,
baggage, hospitals, &c. ace. This was the object of your expe-
dition—have you attained it.? You were beaten--you lost half
your troops—and you were very near being taken. Your nom-
' btrs, and the steadiness of your troops, saved you from entire
ruin. Was it, then, merely for the purpose of returning to Ca-
diz that you left it ten days before? Would it not have been
„better that you had remained there ? You would have had un-
'der your command 4000 more Lnglish or Spaniards.
CON SI A NTlNoptr, Fea. 10.—Several Deputies have arrived
within the last fortnight front Georgia, to implore, on behalf of
their Prince, some assistance from the Porte against the Rus-
sitios. The Grand Seignior has just issued an order to the Ad-
miralty, to send several Cornnrissiuoers to the Morea, to inquire
into the conduct of the English in that territory, and to ascertain
.whether they continue to raise recruits there, contrary to the
repeated injunctions of the Porte. The Order is dated the Stall
ult. and directs the Admiralty to expedite the departure of the
Commissionenb and to make their report with the least possible
delay. The Admiralty has made a report to the Government,
untavlourable to the dernaird of the English Ambassador, for
restitution,of several vessels taken, whilst engaged in an illicit
trade. to Malta and Sicily, with cargoes of Turkish coin. They
arc of course declared good prizes.

ed, and allowed us to open a communication between
the Continent and the Island -of Leon. Not satis-;
fied with yielding up so many important advantages
which might have been long and resolutely defend-
ed, they-retired to the neighbourhood of Chiclana
and thus exposed to the Most imminent danger,
according to your own account t‘ 100 pieces of can-
non, 60 gun-boats and immense magazines„ bag-
gage, hospitals, &c. which, had they fought at a
greater distance from that town, they would have
had time to remove out of our reach in case they
should have been defeated. Yet you neither brand
th mas cowards, nor threaten to try them as trai-
tors. Had it been our intention to organize a ge-
neral- insurrec.tion in Andalusia, they afii)rded us
every assistance in their power by withdrawing
their troops from every part of the country which
was very likely to rise in our support, and
yet you deem their conduct entitled to the warmest
praise. May I not fairly deduce from this forbear-
ance *on your part this natural conclusion, that you
were conscious our plans were of a different nature
from what you represented them to be, and there-
fore passed no censure on your officers for not coun-
teracting operations rind designs which existed only
in your own.. imagination. I will now remove the
veil from your sight, and that of your subjects, and
reveal. the true nature of our plan, which you will
then find has been crowned with the most complete
success. MASSENA at the head of 110,000 men,

if we are to credit his own account, had entered
Portugal, and untaught by the severe defeat he ex-
perienced at Busaco, had followed our retreating

urn y to the pnsitiops which Lord WELLINGTON'S
foresight had tendered impregnable ; and disap.
pointed in his d: earns 4'f congneq, remained an idle

-witness of the klissolittipu of hi 3 army through de-
sertion, want, anti diSe.:so. Unable to proceed, he
-was eclualiy unieillilb.,„; to fall back, as the preserva-
tion (f his Lune and the safety of the Spanish
IrsurPer depended un Li:. maintaining his position,
or compelling our army to reimbark. He received
reinforcem%nts, but they were not sufficient to en-
able him to resume offensive operations. It was
rteces!:ar, in order ts, produce any effect on our lines,
that thy' ravv.s Fhonid be crossed and demonstra-
tions made in ihe Alentf,:ro. But the passage of
this riyer WAS Tendered impossible by the line of
batteries erected. by Lord WEI.LINGTON on its left
Wuk, and the possession of Abrantes by the allied
forces.. The Duke 0f....04:,N1AT1A. was therefore

aged 83, Sir William Addington, Knt. who for upwards of 28
years was a Magistrate of the Public Office, Bow-street, in
w!iich situation he evinced a spirit, fidelity, and zeal for the
public good, highly honourable to his character. In the year
1;I5, at a Meeting in St:Pancras-fields, he was particularly
active, and in the suppression of many riots (especially in those
W. the year 1780) no Magisti-ate ever stood•more conspicuously
ditinguished. In the memorable affair of Hadfield, he acted
with that penetration and firmness, unshaken by popular fer-
ment, for which he was remarkable ; and although his judg-
ment at the time was questioned, and conduct severely com-
mented upon, the correctness and integrity•of both, were af-
terwards santioned, on the trial of that unfortunate man, by
the Verdict of a Jury under the able diction of Lord Ken-
yon. Sir 'William withdrew from his public situation, but the

quietude to hi in during his remaining days. •

THE DUKE 041 YORg.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

It affords infinite satisfaction to perceive the dawn of reason
again displays itself in the minds of Englishmen ! and that jus-
tice and loyalty are likely to display their sacred brilliancy in the
political hemisphere of Great Britain, by restoring the country
a Commander in Chief, that has ever proved himself, by the whole
series of his military conduct, an ornament to the army and a pil-
lar of success and strength to the kingdom's prosperity—How ex-
ceedingly anxious must those persons be who feel an interest in
old England's superiority, to behold the enemies of the August
Douse of Brunswick retire—huinb/cd as their nefarious plots,
and designs have merited—and to know the injured object of
their unconstitutional conspiracy—His Royal Highness Frede-
rick Duke of York—is reinstated in a command he is so worthy
of possessing ! and a situation his Royal Highness has so zbly
611LZ—both as a military minister, and patron of military merit !

LORD WELLINGTON'S LETTER.
On the copy of a letter writtea by Lordellington to Earl
Liverpool, dated Oct. 27,1310, being brought up, Mr. CANNING
took the opportunity of adverting to the desponding sentiments
held by persons in that House, relative to the affairs in the Pen-
insula, and the abuse with which it had been fashionable to
load the Portuguese; he trusted these insinuations would now
be silenced for ever. The same unkind and disparaging expres-
sions which were formerly applied to the Spaniards. It-was
unkind, and it could produce no good effect, for Gen leinen to
represents the f:paniards as worthless auxiliaries. Notwith-
standnT what had iately occurred, hi. was firmly of opinion that
sureess would filially crown the exertions of our allies through-
out the whole of the Peninsula.

_disguise defeats and improve Victories, and the
breach of-which, had they not • geed 'scrupulously
obeyed, would have been severely visited on their
heads.- I shall therefore content myself:with setting
the world right on this important point. The
force which contended with your eight thousand
veterans, consisted of three thousand Britons.
Your General boasts that he surrounded them, and
we acknowledge that Ws superiority of numbers
nearly enabled him. to carry that plan into es ecu-
tion. But what were the consequences of this vain
attempt ? Our Commander, at a distance from .his
allies, who did not share in the dangers and glory
of the battle, remained undismayed. He saw
your battalions thicken on the hills, and formed his
little army of heroes into columns of attack in the
plains. Confident in the overpowering weight of
their numbers, he saW your warriors rush to meet
our bayonets, and. almost instantly beheld their
flight. Your eagles
.clropped conerered at him
- feet, your Generals 'fell into his power, and our
colotirti 'waved . triproplaut on those heights
so lately darkened by your threatening myriads.
ißut. you exclaim, " Was it not your plan to raise
the siege of Cadiz, and to take all the French lines
in their rear, while an attack was to be made on the
works before Cadiz by the garrison of that place ?
At the same time the ships of war and gun-boats
were to threaten debarkations on every point. BAL.
LASTEROS was to march uPon Seville, and an insur.
rection was to break out in the mountains of Ron.
4.1 a, which town was also to be attacked. This vast
project has, however, been totally defeated.".
I hitherto gave you and your dill and military
Officers credit for an acuteness of 'sight which
pierced easily into the motives of political mea.
sures and military operations,' but heitAt seems
to have been turned' into blindnesiAlf your
Commanders thought that we had fdritted the
plan you describe, or if they had received any
secret advices which might lead to such a' belief,
how could they be so neglectful of your interest,
and their duty as to make no preparation to frus.
trate our success? They sugered us to land quietly,
in a town which was lately in their possession, and
which they might have occupied anew in order to,

DOWNINGATREET, APRIL 9.

Dispatches, of which the following are extracts, were this morn—
ing received at Lord Liverpool's (Alice, addressed to his Lord-
- ship by Lieutenant-General Viscluet Wellington, dated
Oliveira de lificpital, March 21; 1811.
The enemy suffered nine!' more in the of of the 15:11 than
I was aware of, when I addressed you on the 16:h instant; the
firing was not over till dark, and it appears that great numbers
were drowned in attempting to ford the Ceira. The enemy with-
drew his rear-guard front that river in the course of the ifith,
and we crossed it on the 17th, and had our posts on the Sierra de
Niareella ; the enemy's army being in a strong position ou the
right of the Alva. They moved a part of their army on that
night, but still maintained their position on die Alva, on which
river they destroyed the bridges. We turned their left by the
Sierra de Saute Quiteria with the 3d, Ist, and sth divisions on
the 18th, while the light division and the Gth manoeuvred in
their front from the Sierra de Marcella; these movethents in-
duced the enemy to bring back to the Sierra de Moita the troops
which had marched the. preceding night, at the same time that
they retired their corps from the Alva, and in the evening their
whole army were assembled upon Mcita, and the advanced posts
of our right were near Arganil, chore of our left across the Alva.

ings of any assembly,. stamp •its .formation with
legality, if it was originally unlawful ?,The Con-
stitution allows all Of us to provide in the best manner
we can for the comforts of our families, and tilt pros-
perity of our affairs. It admits, when we deem our-
-selves injured, of our approaching the Crown with
• petitions, and of our adopting the most efficient legal
mcans for preparing and perfecting them. But if
we were to cause a thrOne to be erected, and assuming
all the pomp and insignia of royalty, to call the dis-
contented around us, and attempt to exercise Sove-
' reign power, should we not expose ourselves to be
ll
tried for high treason ? Or should the plea, that we
really meant no harm, but thought this a legal and
the most efficient way of preparing* a petition for
the Throne, avail in our defence, and justify our
undue assumption of authority ? The folly as well
as the illegality of such a step would be so conspicu-
ous. as to render any attempt at justification an en-
crease of our offence. How- then can it be as-
serted, by any man in his senses, that the con.
duet of the beads of the Irish Catholics, in erect-
ing themselves, not, it is true, into Monarchs, but
into a Parliament, ought not to be reprobated ?
How can any voice be r:tised against the mild
measures of the Government ; which, however se-
vere. they may be made to appear, only tend to de- '
termine by law whether the Catholics really possess,
by the ConstitutiOn, the right of electing represen-
tatives or not ? Their right to petition never can be,
and has never been, denied. It is born with them
in common with their fellow-subjects : but certainly
it is equally; and not only the right but the duty of
Government to see that the mode in which they
proceed to carry a lawful intent into execution, be
not illegal and dangerous.. After mature investi.
gation, it was • declared by Proclamation, illegal,
' and *ordered to be discontinued, under the threat-
eried penalty of- the law, on conviction. After such

a declaration, it would have been more decent, as
troll .as more prudent, had the Catholics wisely re-
frained from pursuing an erroneous course : but
they preferred bringing • the mutter .to trial, and
standing against the Eiecutive on no other ground
than that of innovation. It remains with the Go-
vc.rnment now, to prove, what seems self-revealed,
f.'at they. are in the wrong : their elections must
then cease, and they must resort to another method
of preparing their petition: The arrests lately made
at Dublin will bring this question to an issue almost
immediately, and the judgment of the Court will be
followed by measures of a more decisive nature on
the part of Government. Hitherto the arrests have
beeu confined to Dublin alone, not as the advocates
'for the Catholics have erroneously supposed, 4, be-
e ause Government cannot act now its own Proclama•

VAUXHALL.

The natal day of the Prince Regent, and that of the Com-
mander in Chief, were celebrated here in the last week with un-
precedented splendour. The Chinese lanterns have a most su-
perb , til-ct. In China, once a year, they have a custom of die,
playing lanterns from every house. The grandeur of the. spec-
ta..le thus exhibited excited in one of their Empero'r's to strong
a desire to view it, that (ai consistently with their established
customs he could not grati7y his desire) he applied to a magician,
who cause,: him to ascend to .1 vast height, from whith he could
see that which he was so a limo, to behold. It the splendour of
the scene th n witnessed by the Emp, pH- was such as to satisfy
him tur the trouble he had taken, that which- is now to be seen

trary, it is a fact, that the lower, and by far the most
numerous part of the Catholic population of I, eland,
take no interest whatever in what is called Catholic
Emancipation, whicb, even if fully carried into
effect, would still be to them nothing more than a
name. Such a measure would revive no right of
which they are deprived. Before they could feel its
consequences, 'a complete revolution must have
taken place in their fortune, rank, habits, and
education, which the lapie Of half an age would
but partially operate. The still remaining [ilea-
pacities of the Catholics are so few, and relate
to offices and situations of so elevated a na.
tare, that none but the noble and wealthy can
be aggrieved -at finding some bounds set to
their ambition. • These, therefore, who with a
Air' show of patriotism and public spirit cc/di
nually descant on the pretended state of degra-
dation and political imbecility to which they re.
*iesent the Catholics to be reduced, only act from
the impulse of interested motives. Conscious of
the indifference of the other classes of their persua-
sion to the object they long so fervently to attain,
they exert every means in their power to inspire
them with an equally glowing unanimity of feeling.
For this purpose they call frequent meetings; itt
which their disabilities are magnified, and supposed
grievances inveighed•against, with all the fervour
of patty zeal, mistaken for the enthusiasm of pa.
.triotism. In all their speeches, they artfully en-
deavour to spread, or create the belief that all
classes of Catholics are equally interested in the
success of the measure for which they "contend.
Nay, in order to impose still more effectually upon
the people, they mimic the sacred forms of our
Constitution. Self-invested with an authority hi-
therto acknowledged by no law, and which they
seem determined to , exalt above all rule, they con-
fer elective franchise on their fellow believers, and
by making them elect representatives, under the
name of delegates, give them a new political exist.
ence formerly unknown in the State, and under the
appellation of A Committee, create, in fact, an ltish
Catholic Parliament. This monstrous innovation,
they pretend to justify by specifying that this blouse
of Representives, will dedicate its sittings t' "04tTyl
one kind of business, the consideration of a- petitio#

the legality of the point, which will be sufficiently
established by the trial of a few as of many ; trusting
that when this is decided, the Catholics will of

are sincere, abandon their present course, should it
be ascertained to have been unlawful.

PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.

ELEVENTH REPORT.

The first subject treated upon by this Report is,
the office of 46 Paymaster of Marines"—an office
which, it will be remembered, was filled by Kr-
V/LLIERS. The same subject occupied the first part
of the 'Fifth Report. Among the many other cu-
rious but unaccountable things which it mentioned
was one that created considerable discussion in the
House of Commons, namely, the loss of the bosd
given by Mr. VILLIERS. To the researches made
for it the invariable return was—non est inventa:s
Nobody knew any thing about it—all wondered
•
what could have become of it ! At last', however,
the precious relique was found ! According to .this
Report, it was " discovered" by one of the Admi-
ralty Clerks, who is employed to arrange the whole
of the Marine Papers, 66 in the midst f one f the
bundles of Marine Monthly Returns .1"
An account of the proceedings adopted for the
recovery of the 66 debt" (the defalcations, which
amount to 261,5071.) is published in this Report.
By this statement it appears that 56,4621. 19i. re-
sulting from the sale of estates, &c. has • already
been received, and it adds under the head " to be
expected" the sum of 79,7191. 17s. These two
sums, that is, including the large one which is
44 expected" to be received, . make together
136,2121. 1.55. Thus, if all be received that is
46 expected," even then the Public will lose the
enormous sum of 128,2951. 15s. by the late Pay-
master of the Marine Forces ! Besides this loss a
great sum will go to defray the necessary expenses
attendant upon recovering the 136,2121. 15s.
In a previous Report, the Committee recom-
mended that the office of Paymaster of Marines
should be abolished, and the duties of it transferred
to. the Navy Pay-office. This recommendation
gave rise to a correspondence and discusSions on its
propriety between the Commissioners of the Trea-
sury, the Treasurer of the Navy, and the Com-
mittee, an account of which is set forth in the
Appendix to this Report. But the Committee are
inflexible. They say, " after perusing these Papers
(the. statement of the correspondence and discus.
sions), they see no reason to alter the opinion btfuro
given."

IRISH CATHOLIC QUESTION.

Many attempts have lately been made to-excite

a degree of unfounded alarm respecting the state
of Ireland. That it is highly critical no one can
pretend to deny ; but that it is most alarming, is
an assertion totally unjustifiable. It is critical, be-
cause it must shortly bring to an issue the legality
of the Catholic proceedings and of the counter-
acting measures of Government. It is not alarm-
ing, 'because the parties engaged in the present cause
are too enlightened, and have too great an interest
irt the maintenance of order and tranq
to carefully abstain from any act by which the har-
inony of the empire might beendangered. In for-
' Iller cues, *hen differences nnfOrtunately prevailed
• betw*en Great Britain and her sister island, the
natuisa cantsmisau last. to dee leffnalon of 'human
blood, and called for the force of arms and a trial
of power. Hence sprung the horrors of the re-
bellion, and the necessary severities by which it was

suppressed. A will populace, as violent as unen-
lightened, inflamed by the seditious arts of deceiv-
ers, who wore the none, but not the hearts of pa-
triots ; and led on by the vain cry of liberty, re-
echoed from a land of slaves, then formed • the
antagonists of Government. With such, reason
was a feather, and the sword the only argunient
they knew. Their numbers, audacity, and despera-
tion, afforded just grounds for alarm, and required
the instant and resistless exertion of a superior force
to relieve Ireland from her self-inflicted misetiet.
Then, indeed, when in several counties the stand;
and of insurrection waved on every hill, and esfery
vale poured forth banded rebels ; when the blood of
the loyal was shed, and their habitations set in
flames ; when towns were pillaged, and the h6if Of
native traitors joined by foreign invadets ; then
might the state of the country be represented Its
awful, and events of the most calamitous nature be
expected. But in the present Moment not only the
causes of difference are totally altered, but the dif-
ferences themselves no longer exist between Great
Britain and Ireland, but between the heady of a por-
tion of the Irish people and the whole United Em-
pire. For notwithstanding the misrepresentations
of faction, which vainly attempts to prove

VAUXHALL.

The late stormy weather, though much to be regretted, has
not the effect of causing this fashionable place of amusement to
be deserted or even tvi he thin)? attended. The singular attrac-
tions which it has to boast, encourage the many to brave even
the hostile elements, the rains fell in vain, and the thunders
idly roll. The Prince of Wales's birth-day it has long been cus-
tomary to celebrate with singular splendour, and for many years
the Gardens have been regularly crowded to an overflow on this
occasion. Under the present extraordinary circumstances, it
cannot be doubted but the throng will be greater than ever,
and those who visit the Gardens to-morrow, will certainly wit-
ness a spectacle which they will remember with interest and
with pleasure for the remainder of their lives. A series of En-
tertainments, surpassing in magnificence all which have ever
been presented before, are announced by the Proprietor ; and
►hen it is remembered, that unlike many, who promise more
than they mean to perform, he always even exceed; his pro-
mises, expectation cannot he raised too high of the splendid
