foreigners. Spain and the Indies will obey him with enthusiastic
devotion; all rivalry will be at an end ; and the Spaniards will
see in his Excellency a branch of the family of the King w nom
they so passionately love.
66 The better to ensure the success of his administration, and
also to -ease him of part of the burden. four Adjuncts ought to
be given him, of different ranks and professions, provisionally to
compose the Government until the next meeting of the Cortes.
• Whatever matter comes under discussion, every question should
be decided by a majority of votes; and they should swear to
observe our laws, which are not to be altered without the con-
currence of the Cortes, which the Government should convene as
circumstances permit.
46 Upon this subject, the Supreme Council of Spain and the
Indies will prepare its observations, and lay theta before the
Government as usual. It is just and requisite that our Ame-
rican settlements should have a principal share in this national
body, as they derive such strong titles to our regard from their
fidelity, loyal services, donations, attachment to the. King',
patriotic zeal, and great importance. This Supreme Tribunal
reserves to itself to give its opinion uric; the justice of their in-
tervention, which it will do after the most mature delibe-
ration.

" It is supposed, that the four individuals to be appointed by
the Supreme Junta until the meeting of the National Congress,
will hear a high character for probity, religion, loyalty, skill
ip their respective professions, impartiality, and disinterested-
ness. The Supreme Junta itself, which they are to succeed in
the exercise of the sovereignty, will secure the opinion of the
public and provide for its own safety, by appointing individuals
entitled with these qualities ; for, if the persons elected should
not rank high is the public opinion, Government would scarcely
succeed in suppressing the present popular complaints and sus-
:picions. By so doing no doubt will remain in the minds of the
people about the upright intentions of the Supreme Junta; the
superior ones will cease to exercise their powers—will they
obtain the applanse of the whole Monarchy—and posterity
will ever be grateful for their serviues.
" May it please your Majesty to lend a gracious hearing to
ItMs Representation, which has no other object than your Aa-
jesty's glory, and the extermination of the Tyrant by whom we
are oppressed !"

furnishing Mrs. Clarke's house would be discovered, and also
his sending Wright to bring an action against elm Duke of
York. Colonel Wardle asked him if he thought then that
there would be any danger in calling Wright; to which he
said, he thought there would, as he did not thick Wright
would conceal the truth, and that even if he did, he bad not
head enough to evade the question. Colonel Wardle then said,.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MIEN'.

Friday., at an early hour, aeons:fennel breeding and grating
assembled as great numbers at Mr. Sadler's Yard, in Gosiwell-
street., and several. interesting discussions took place on the real
and comparative merits of the massy tine fat animals exhibited,
most of them brought to their present high state of perfection,
by very mall comparative waste of time or provender, owing
to 'the pecutiar aptitude of the Judi vidstats to fatten.
'The Duke of Bedford and a great number of Noblemen and
persous ISt distinction, 'were seen in this interesting group.
There were Reeefordshice Otea, Long-horned Oxen, Devon
©Ken, A rgyitsbire Oats, Aberdeenshire Oxen, Fifeshire Oxen,
llighland 0 sea, and Polled Oxen; New Leicester Wethers,

Chinese Eggs.

Mr. idba Onions exhibited &model of a Thrashing Mill.-

%reeds of-tittle.

About three o'clock such of the company as are 'members of
tte club, repaired to the Freemason's Tavern, sad held a meet-
,ing, his Grace the Duke of Bedford in tiled:air ; which was at.
tended by Sir Joseph Banks, Sir John Sanders Sebrigbt,
N orthey. Esq. and a great many of the distinguished cbu-
o4cters who form this society. At this meetiag the following
new members were elected :

The Marquis of Tavistock, PAH Talbot, Lord Bradford, the

Rev. Joseph Mario, Richard Narris, Charles Hamilton, Ed-
mund Francis Wellea,J. H. Johnston, Stephen Eaton, and
chard Astieytjun.

The Club proceeded to take into. consideration the conditions
isf the premiums to be offered by them for next year, and
agreed, that in future the examination of the certificates and
the judging of eligibility of the cattle to be shown for the differ-
ent premiums, shall rest with the two stewards for the year,
who are afterwards to read the particulars of each certificate to
the judges of the ;hew, but omitting all the names, so that the
judges tuay in future decide on the prizes, without knowing by
whom the cattle are bred or fed for which they may adjudge
premiums.
It was also agreed, to offer a new premium for two-year•old
pure Metino fat wethen.

the Exchequer, besides his official emolumente, had secured to
himself enormous emoluments in reversion: and yet the people
were told that Ministers were under the controut of Parliament! I

have certainly not spit upon the aristocracy with half so
much malignity : you have never so completely gulled evert
the populace, and you certainly have not escaped a halter
so narrowly, though we must, in candour, acknowledge
that you do not appear to be less entitled to its honours.
It will in this case be sufficient to shew that thereis nothing
in the characters of you and your associates that should in-
cline us to believe you would attempt the object in view by
less unworthy means than have been adopted by others
under similar circumstances, Or that you would not. make
the REFORM iv PAALIAMENT a stalking horse for the
OVERTHROW OF THE MONARCHY. Perhaps you have
heard (for if I can form any opinion of your understand-
ing, your intellect, your mind, from your weekly lucubra-
tions, you are not very deeply read), that when the in-
clination of a plane exceeds a very small degree, a heavy
body, to which the slightest Revolutionary movement is given,
,is urged continually along, as it moves, by an accele-
rating force which soon becomes infinitely greater than that
which was applied at frit to put it in motion. And
does not the same principle obtain in politics ? Would
any statesman (not absolutely mad) propose to set in mo-
tion a power that he was not morally certain he could stop
at some determined point ? Have you tnorc influence with
an overwhelming populace than other demagogues who
have proceeded you in the same villainous career ? Are
you prepared to shew that the people are more enlight-
ened, or that their morals are better than they were for=
merly, that they are less addicted to plunder, or to murder,
and that they have a greater reverence for the laws if
you are not prepared to demonstrate this, but on the con-
trary, if I am able to sitew upon your own authority, that
the contrary of all this is a melancholy truth, what, of
necessity, must be the conclusion.—You well know, Sir,
from an experience of your own heart that with respect
to an individual, if his understanding grows more acute as
his principles grow worse, hts conduct will become more
dangerous, in an exact proportion to the amount of these
two changes. The same thing, Sir, depend upon it, will
hold good of a populace composed of such individuals.

We have taken the entrenched camp of Raab, which will con-

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE Win BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRINCE, 4ND THE
EXPEDITION TO THE SCHELDT*
__a•__

OBSERVATIONS.

(Note from the Moniteur on Articles published in the London
Papers upon the above subject.)
46 We cannot consider the Austrian Monarchy, its Sovereign,
4C and its armies, so entirely 1)1mill:wed as they were after the
" battle of Austerlitz; there is no talk of an interview in a
41 windmill."—Loadon Papers.
Afore.by the Ifonitear.—lf there has been no interview, it is
herliuse the Emperor Napoleon would have none. The first in-
lOrvieve_ in which the Emperor Napoleon gave peace to his ene-
my having left, no, remembrance of gratitude in the breast of the
atter, it became evident that a fresh interview would be to no
purpose. •
• With regard to the difference between the situations of Austria,
after the iattles of Austerlitz and Wagram, it is this;—After
after
battle of Austerlitz, Russia was still allied with Austria;
She had upoa the Vistula a. second army, which she might march;
Prussia, w ho had signed the Convention of the 21. of November,
high( take part in the war; short, the army of Prince Charles
•
vas still, untouched, and the whole of it might march. On the
other hand., the important fortress of Raab and the Circles of
Hungary had 'not been occupied; Saxony did not yet form part
of 'Ole Confederation; and, however, tile position of Dresden
?lust he considered as of some importance; in fine, the Duchy
of Warsaw belonged to Prussia, and the army of Gallicia, which
now menaces Aforay in, did not exist. At, present, on the con-
trary, all•th;! Austrian armies, all the Austrian fortresses have
been attacked and vanquished. There are hardly any vestiges
tetnainingOf the army which the Archduke John brought from
Italy ,• rind if it can still muster ten thousand men under arms,
most of these men are only recruits. The grand army of Prince
Charle,Cheing beaten at Egginulh, at Katisboaf at Esling, and at
Wagraai,thh§ lest his best soldiere, and be himself, fi ightened at
the spirit of intrigue and division which reigns in the. Cabinet,
has thrown up the command and retired. The difference is not
less great in the internal situation of the Monarchy; after the
Pe:tee of Presburg, the French had only passed through the
hereditary states; upon the present occasion, they have already
sande a stay in them oily wards of four months. At that time
Austria had not made the least efforts;' her population was still
entire; at present many pros laces have been so much depopu-
lated by Car levies in mass, that no other inhabitant's are to he
found in the villages than women and children. 41 that time all
the revolutionary means which had 'been taken existed, and
might he employed; at present they have been taken,; and have
been taken in vain; the conatry is eithaubtVihil tßea 'veil sis

description start forward as supporters of British rights ;
the cause of the Managers is desperate, indeed, when op-
posed to.such lurid and powdered eloquence. The sp, eel es
were all in favour of the opposition, and were loudly ap-
plauded by many who did, and many who did not hear
them. Last night the Theatre was respectably attended—

pROVINCIALS,

The inbahitants of Wiveliscombe, Somerset, celebrated the peace
in a manner no less spirited than original. The procession cum.
prised a representation of all the chief features of the various trades
and employments carried on in tbe town. Among other eurions
performanees, which took place during the actual course of the pro-
cession, was the mmufacture of a coat, through all the processes of
shearing the sheep, washing, combing, spinning, and dying the
wool, weaving it into cloth, and making it into a coat, in tlic :pace
of our hwirs!

On Thursday, the 30th ult., peace was celebrated at linntingford,
by giving a ►linner to the poorer part of the population, the expences
of which were dcaayed by a subscription. At five o'clock peace
• was proclaimed. At six the tables were abundantly spread with
beef and plum •ptuldin, and a party sat down to dinner, consisting
of men, w own, and children, to the number of 630, exhibiting in
their contented faces an interesti►►g picture of decency and gra.
ule.

1-iilkl►a►n Sheep Slie;tring commenced on Monday the 4th instant.
It was most numerously attended.
A poney race of nine miles took place on Friday, on EppinE
Forest, betwixt a celebrated roan under 14 hands, the property of
Captain Mitchell, and it black policy, noted for sp.ted, and known
by the name of Young Ajax, the property of Mr. Meadow. The
t►l:cck policy was the favoniite -at r, to 4, and the match was WC
guineas. The animals ran the first ►vile together in five seconds
over two minutes and a half. The distance was pert'orn►ed in 13
minutes. Tin black poney had all along made play, and
took the lead the last four miles and a half. Here the race,
very interesting, and tlic struggle was great, but the lilac.
recovered half a length in t:te last quarter of a Mile, and
race.
