POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

NUMBER TillltTli-NINE4

THE CONVENTION.

We arc once more reduced to the mortifying, but impe-
rious, necessity of resuming our strictures on the Conven-
tion signed by our Commanders in Portugal. The task is
painful, but indispensable. It is far from our character,
and perfectly repugnant to our feelings, to swell the tide
of popular indignation, or to irritate the public feelings to
unnecessary acrimony, against men, on whose innocence
or criminality the laws of their country must speedily de-
cide. Such severity would not be justice ; it would be the
most wanton and unwarrantable barbarity. But the pre-
sent subject is of so alarming a nature ; affording so dan-
gerous a precedent; involving so many and complicated
interests; implicating so strongly the whole army in the
infamous transaction, and so degrading to the national
character, that we would deserve to be branded as traitors
and cowards towards our country, Europe and posterity, if
motives of personal consideration, if fear of consequences,
or principles of false and dangerous humanity, encouraged
us to be silent and neutral. When we reflect on the circum-
stances which preceded this dishonourable compromise ; on
the object of the Expedition ; the triumphant malignity of
the enemy ; the confusion of our allies, and the stigma
offered to our national character, we indignantly demand
if those individuals be Englishmen :—if there was no treach-
ery in the transaction ;—if we are to consign it among
those acts which occasioned the destruction of the Austrian
army at Ulm,• and the surrender of Madgeburg t It is in
vain that we are called on by justice, by reason, by hu-
manity, to wait for a more satisfactory explanation of the
circumstances :--our feelings snpersede the operations of
our understanding ; and when the fact is so base, so gla-
ringly criminal, we are afraid of suspending our judgments,
for fear of sinking in our esteem, and betraying coolness
and apathy, when our friends, and every one we meet, call
down vengeance and imprecations on the vile betrayers of 'I
our country's honour.

Such is the predicament we are I►laced in. We are afraid
to excuse, almost to investigate, from an apprehension we
should, in a certain measure, participate in the atrocity
and baseness of the act. When our passions begin io
swell ; when our feelings begin to enonuce themselves only
by execrations, we endeavour to banish the subject from
our minds, and wish to defer the examination, till familia-
rity has blunted the acuteness of our sensations, weakened
the horror of the action, and perhaps reconciled us to ils
infamy. Such is the tranquillity we, as well as the inas,
of our countrymen, may one day attain. A repetition Of
this business, another Buenos Ayres, and another Portugal
Convention, with a Capitulation or two► iu and Italy,
may break down the inflexible pride of oar national in-
tegrity. Then our Whitelockes, our Dalrymples, our Bur-
rants, our Wellesleys, will find a people adapted to their
character and wishes, equally indifferent to intam) and ho-

The destruction of Covent Garden Theatre by fire is, we are

edifires dedicated to dramatic representations. which have oc-
curred in the course of the last twenty-live years. About four
o'clock on Tuesday morhing, this extensive building was disco-
vered to be in flames; and so tierce and rapid was the fire, that
no exertion could stop its course. IN, ithin less than three hotuN
after its commencement, the v‘ hole of the interior of the Theatre
was destroyed : nearly the %virile of the scenery, wardrobe,
musical and dramatic libraries, and prop,•rties of ail kinds, were
a heap of smoking ruins. All the book• aad papers relative to
the concerns of the Theatre, as y%cll as the produce of the pre-
retlin;,: night's performance, were preserved. A considerable
number of cogine.; promptly attended, but there was a shameful

some of the engines could be supplied. 'They afterwards played

mortality increased a fourth in consequence of inoculated pa-
tients and others infected with the disease having been exposed
to public view. The disease was more fatal to the robust than
infants, and to lovely, woman pregnant the chance was twenty
to one against them if they took the disease. His object was
mot to propose general vaccination, and did not wish to impose
any mode of inoculation on the parents. Ilk object was to have
a mark put upon all houses where there was infection, and those
that did not do so to be subject to a penalty, to be expended
'by the removal of those who took, the diseased to an insulated
place, to be provided for the purpose. lie observed, that such
a measure was not without precedent, as a Bill to prevent the

HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY.
Yesterday our gracious and beloved Sovereign entered into
the 70th year of his age, with the best wishes of every class of his
Alajesty's subjects, for a long continuance of that life which is
deservedly so precious in the estimation of every good subject :
" Sero in Carbon redeat !"
The tower and park guns were tired at noon, as usual ; and
the morning was ushered iu by the ringing of bells and other de-

Their Majesties received the junior part of the Royal Family
at Buckiaghans House in the morning, where they breakfasted,
• and congratulated their Royal Parent on the return of the day.
Soon after oae o'clock, the Queen and the Princesses prepared
to leave Buckingham House, and they arrived at St. James's at
a quarter past two, escorted by a party of Life Guards. Her
Majesty was ushered into the Council Chamber by his Grace the
Duke of Portland, with whom she conversed for some time.
The Princesses fort►►ed, as usual, on time left of the Queen, agree-
able to seniority. The Lord Chamberlain waved his wand for
the performance of the Ode, under the direction of Sir W.
Parsons :

ODE FOR HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY,
BY HENRY JAMES PTE, ESQ. POET LAUREAT.
Not with more joy, when gathering round,
'Dark mists the *face of Heaven deform ;
When howls the wind with hollow Sound,
Preluding to the rising storm ;
We thro' the severing clouds descry
Of cheering light a golden gleam,
And hail awhile the clearing sky,
And feel awhile the genial beam ;
Than now, when spreading wide and far,
Roars the tremendous peal of war,
We bless of peace and joy the ray.
That Olds the happy hourb of GEolltieSN..tal Day.

JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONS AT SARAGOSFA.

Jry E 26.—After the attack of the g3d, in which the irench
suffered a heavy loss, Gen. Lefebvre retreated. with SAO mon,
towards Epila ; hut the Marquis de Lazan, Palafox's hro:hrr,
attacked him on the march with a numerous hods of A rragoner,
who most gallantly combated the enemy ; and the latter would
have most certainly been totaliy routed and deAroyed, had not
two divisions of the peasantry given way. The enemy, him-
ever, lost about 1,000 men.

JuN rs 27.—Gen. Verdier
.joined the enemy with about 2,400
men, cavalry and infantry, and some Portuguese. They attack-
ed Saragossa and Monte Torrero. They were repulsed with the
loss of SOLO men killed, a great number wounded, six pieces of
artillery, five cars of ammunition, drums, musical instrument,
&e. which were carried into Saragossa. The loss on our side
was much less. An express arrived w ith intelligence of the ap-
proach of 7,000 Valencians, with 2ti pieces of cannon. Thew
troops were ordered to remain in concealment for the pre,cnt,
to fall in on the enemy the next day when engaged.
J uNE, 28.—The enemy renewed the attack in the mornine, on
Torrero and the city, but were bravely repulsed, losing bcar;y
the whole of their cavalry, and much of their infantry.
Torrero the action proved ueortunate, owing to the treachery
of the Commandant of the allPtillery, who made his 'nen retreat,
and abandon two batteries at the most critical moment. The
Valencians arrived, though rather I tie, but they could not dis-
lodge the enemy from Timm), whence they showered down
shells and grenades upon the city ; and in the night time, ;in
act of infamous treachery the powder-magazine in the place,
appropriated to bull-tight, was blow n up, by w hich explosion
fourteen houses were destroyed, and about two hundred person;
killed. At this moment the euemy presented themselves in three
places, hoping- to be able to enter ; but they were repulsed, and
the columu which attempted the entrance of Overtamaqueda io
front of the temporary powder-magazine was totally destroyed.
Orders were instantly issued for the arrest of all the French re•
sident at Saragossa, w ith their families, and other solicited
persons.
.1 ev E 29.—The Artillery Officer. Iyho sold the batteries of
Torrero, ran the gauntlet six times, the soldiers beating him will.
their ramrods; he was then shot. A fellow was haw(' who
w.O detected in going out of the city with dispatches for :11tirn,
from which it appeared, that the three gates attacked the pre-
ceding uight had been sold. This morning at day-break, the ar-
rests ordered yesterday were carried into eLecutiou. Both ar-
mies militated warmly engaged.

LUDICROUS STORY OF MR. C-KE.

One evening in Manchester, we were in a public bar amidst
a promiscuous company, where C—ke was, as usual the lire of
the party. Mirth and good humour prevailed till about Tyr,
o clock, when I perceived something lurking in his eye, ‘I Heft
foretold a storm. Anxious to get him home before it bunt
forth, I pressed our departure, under the plea of another en-
gagement ; but, 'instead of having the desired efiect, it precipi.
tared what I had foreseen. With a haughty supercilious look,
he said—
" I see what you are about, you hypocritical scoundrel!
You canting methodical thief! am 1, C—ke, to be controuled
by such a would-be puritan as you ? I'll teach you to dictate to
a tragedian." Then pulling off his coat, and holding his list in
a menacing attitude—" Come out," continued he, " thou prince
of deceivers; though thou bast faith to remove mountains, thou
shalt not remove me.,--Come out, I say." With much diffi-
culty he was pacified, and resumed bis coat —There was a large
tire in the bar, before which stood, with his coat skirts under
each arm, a pitiful buck, very deficient in cleanliness and cos
tome. His face was grimy, and his neckcloth of the salty tinct,
which nevertheless, was folded in various folds about his throat
his hair was matted, and turned up, under a round greasy hat,
with narrow brims, conceitedly placed on one side the head,
which notidled under it, like a shaking mandarin. Thus equip•
pelf, the filthy fop straddled before the fire, which he completely
monopolized. At length he caught the eye of our tragedianl,
who, in silent amazement for the space of half a minor, evi*
mined him from top to toe; then turning to me, he burst forth

we threw into thskepposite scale, the whole mass of theft
invader's talents. and resources. In proportion, however,
es our hopes and wishes are ardent in their behalf, We must
naturally feel auXtety nnd uneasinesflas long-1N their for-
tunes remain iu suetesee. The Chances of war arc var.ying ;
the events of ourtime' are of nature very different from
those of any othe'r.period, and the mad, who is the object
of our disquisition, * so frequently confounded calcu-
lations founded on the most plausible inferences, that too
peremptory an.opption on the result of the present contest
might be insppnimil to imply presumption and want of
judgment. Seine of our readers, and, perhaps the great
majority of them, whose expectations may not be so san-
guine as ours, will not be satisfied with vague declamation
on this nminentoas subjeet. Whatever difference of opi-
nion we may however entertain, we are all equally inter-
ested in the result; and our wishes and prayers in favour
of a cause, so closely connected with our own security,
are not less sincere, though many, from an attentive ob-
servation of the occurrences of fifteen years, may be more
inclined to portend a disastrous than a favourable issue.
Those who see.gren.ter cause for despondency, than hope,
have strong and plausible reasons on their side—The efforts'
of three successive ettalitions, formed by tic most powerful.:
states on.the

incitement-Whitton—a sense of mutual danger—did not
.oppose even a nionictita.•:. itapediment to the overwhelming
torrent of Bonaparte's success and ambition ; and their
resistance to his power and encroachments produced no

other effect, than the sub,jec tint) of some, and the vassalagi;
of all. These are alarming truth, and. however painful.

result of the most unprecedented Sacrifices and exertions,

NOTE.

The Undersigned has had the honour to lay before the Em•
peror, the Note and the Copy of the Capitulation of Copenha-
gen, transmitted to him by his Excellency Lord G. L. tioner.
Ili* Imperial Mkiesty has viewed with infinite concern, all the
misfortunes which have overwhelmed a Monarch, to %limn he+
is attached by the ties of blood, and of those of a long friend-
ship. When the British Ministry conceived the design of de-
•spoiling Denmark of her fleet; when they dispatched for that
purpose to the Baltic, a numerous land force and a considerable
Beet, they gave no intimation of it to his Imperial Majesty.,
This silence, this extreme reserve, may serve as a proof, that
the Cabinet of St. James's were themselves persuaded, that
sy hat they were undertaking was directly contrary to the inte-
rests of Russia. So in fact it is, and the Evapecor ones it to
himself, and to the interest* of his empire, not to chew himself
insensible to it.

!Its Majesty considers hitnself as Guarantee of the seetiritv,
and of the tranquillity of the Baltic Sea: at t. hit period has,:

Lotto at'CK►.lv'n pmented a Petition from Sir J. Imes,
the respondent in the appeal respecting the ft oxborough estates,
pray ing that the Clit;liC should be heard out of the regular course
on the Bth of May neat. His Lordship, in support of the Pe-
tition, principally relied on the ativrinced age of the Petitioner,
which left him little hopes of seeing the termination of the
cause, if it were not to be heard until those which preceded it
in the list, amounting to more than ldll, were disposed of ; and
on the ground that the succession to the estates involved the
right to several titles mid dignities.
After some observations from the Lord Chancellor, Lords
Lauderdale and Spencer, Lord Aukland intimated that he should
delay any further proceeding in the Petition until Friday.
