'291 anti 199. Mr. W.tnn t:s titirtss was ::fier war tis negat
by a majority of 211. However 1.24 Metnhers of the 110u3e of
Commons, most of than unemmected with party, were of opi-
Lion that the DL Kt: of -1011 K was guilty of corruption or

wane vi: nee.
The debate on the resolution proposed by the CifANCl:t.t.o%
of the Exc n r.Q La, which declarest that there is no groom, for
charging the Ito VAL MK with 1,PrIM:11 corruption, or a•ett-)
nivacce at the practices disclosed before the Committee, took
place on Friday. Two divisions took place on that night.
The CH ANCEL LO R of the Excit lay) co. wished to substitute
another Resolution for the one of which he had originally given
notice. It av;i'S oppos:d by Mr. TIERN Ey, who suggested his
intention of moving an Amendment upon it.—The C:1,1 C El. LO
of the Excur.quEiti however, withdrew his new Resolution,
and proposed the Resolution (his second Resolution) which he
had stated to the House on the first day of the discussioa of t
evidence,. Sir T. Tr tyro st moved an Amendment, declnsing it
to be the opinion of the House, that the Drake must have been
aware of those abuses, of which evidence had becn given at the
Bar of the House.
file first division was on Sir T. Tv N '6
amendment, which
was rejected by a majority of 191.
The second division was on Mr. Pracnv A L'S second resolu-
tion of acquitting the Dui: t: of personal corro pt i on or connivance.
This resolution was carried by a majority of 1:IG111'1.-1'11; 0.
The 'mintier of Members wito divided on this second resolution
was greater than that which divided on Si rT.Tr ItTox's Amt•nd-
inent. Of 474 Members present, 190 divided against the 14 em;lit-
lion of Acquittal—a proportion less than 3to V. The discussion,
however, is not yet tinished—Mr. Bitaccr livrocasT moves
his Resolution on Monday, which is in substance " That tho
House bad observed with the deepest regret that there bad ex-
isted a connection the malt immoral and unbecoming; nod that
it had given rise to an interference in official matters, which had
a tendency to give the colour of authority to transaction* the
must criminal."

There were various reports in circulation yesterday ;—that
the 1)17 K E of Yo K intelifiCd in re-ign; and that. an adjoui
ment, or dissolution, of the House of toarnons was in agita-
tion. We give credit to time of these reports ; and as to the
resignation of his Royal Highness, we have observed nothing
in the discourse or conduct of his friends, which would warrant
the supposition that the exalted personage felt any iuclinution
to wit htVate his from the pubiic s;:rvice.

Saragossa has fallen ;—and has tort an eternal monument
to every age and country of the sublime devotion of her
inhabitants. She has fallen ; but as tong as virtue and
honour will be objects of human veneration, her defence
will he recorded among the sublitnest acts that ever com-
manded the admiration of mankind. How we pity and
weep over the distresses of such of her defenders as have
had the misfortune to survive! Those who have exnired
under the smoaking ruins of their city, have had a v;lorious
and an enviable fate; but the captive, the undiluted, the
distracted 'matron, the defenseless virgin, the widow, the.
orphan, these are the truly deplorable victinic :—these are
the beings whose sufferings,whose despair, and abandonment
would extract tears and sympathy from their oil callons,the
most obdurate. Let an English matron, and father tlin!re to
themselves the situation of a city taken bs, storm, aban-
donned to the brutal lost and rapine of 50,000 Poleg, Ita-
lians, and Frenchmen,—the refuse of the three most licen-
tious and unprincipled nations upon earth—their natural
savageness worked up to frenzy by an intemperate ese of
brandy ;—rushing with their litinds besmeared with blood,
into the defenseless houses;--let them, if they have c,91-
rage to cast a glance at so heart rending a picture, behold
the distracted females flying from chamber to chamber bl-4-
fore these ram, reeking with the murder of their hls.
