military incapacity, only secure the safety of his
army by its instant re-ernbarkacion ! Such were .he
eicouragements which his Lordship received from
his countrymen, during the arduous campaign,
and laborious duties in which he was engaged.—
Alt his movements were watched at home with as
much anxiety and as little satisfaction, though
through a different cause,. as they were no doubt by
• MASS ENA himself. All his dispatches were read, not
•-
. with eyes glowingwith gratitude and admiration, but
kindled with the hope of finding in them, some
plausible grounds for perversion and blame. To
resist the mighty shock of such an oppition,
to persevere in a line of conduct which was equally
abused by the enemy, whose plans and 14ty hopes
it totally defeated, as by the political wizzard whose
predictions it caused to fail, and at the same time
;to contend with a watchful and active opponent
who would have availed himself of the least neglect
'!-on our part, required a mind as far above the sel-
fishness of human passions as above the common
capacity of man. Such a mind Lord WELLINGTON
possessed. Exerted in the cause of humanity, as
well as in that of his country and her allies, its
towering abilities have at last burst from the cloud
which envy and misrepresentation ,had cast over
them. In him the true patriot, the deep tacti-
cian, and the hero have blazed forth at once
Eqpt
eyes of the whole cation. Long darkened urope
must view, and distant ages will reflect, his glory.
The one will derive hope and spirit, the other emu-
lation, frOm its light. His unwise plans, have baf-
fled the skill,, perseverance, feints, and might of the

On Friday Edward Simpkin was brought to the above Office,
in the custody of Homer, charged with feloniously stealing a
gold seal, the property of Air. Fisher, a goldsmith and jeweller,
in Leicester-square.
It appeared, from the evidence of Robert Warnes, the shep-
*tan, that the prisoner came into the shy, and asked to look at
some gold seals ; he showed him several, and' at the time the
prisoner was looking at them, be observed him put one into his
breeches pocket ; after that he bought one, and paid for it, and
was going away, when the shopman challenged him with hav-
ing put one into his pocket, upon which the prisoner ran away,
the cr • of " Stop thief !" was raised, and the prisoner was taken
in Lisle-street. On searching him other gold seals were found,
and two silver tea-spoons ; and it is supposed he has been in the
habit of going to jewellers' shops, pl:rchasing small articles, and
exchanging others he had stolen at different shops- He was
yrammitted for trial.

NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORtSMOUTR, Atm. Excellency the Duke del Ina
fantado, and Suite, landed this morning, under a salute front ,
the Cumus. When he landed at the Sally-port another salute
was fired front the platform battery, and a guard of honour
conducted hint to the George bin. Ide was attended by Cap-
tain Smith, of the Comui, and Captain Munro, a representa-
tive of General Waltham, our Lieutenant-General. '1 he Duke
is of low stature, and about 33 years of age.
DOVER, AVG. 23.—We are annoyed almost every night with
French privateers ; last night one of them captured an Ameri-
can brig, but being chased by one of the sloops of war oil the
Station, they abandoned her, and she wai recaptured and see:.
into the Downs; the being
men, eight in number, took to
their boat, and, afterteing some time in her, she was (pond to
leak so much, that they were obliged to row for the shoec, and
were all taken prisoners and sent to the guard-house.
DoVea, Acourr 20.—Last night, as 'several light colliers
were coming front the westward, they were greatly annoyed !-.)-
a French privateer, which, after several inanceuvres, succeeded
in capturing one of the colliers. and sent her off for France
(she has sitice been recaptured by tke Cracker), at the sat
time makiti.; all chact• in .orsuit of another, called the brig
Hope; of :;underland: 'lle Frenchmen VI. *Cfs:' so eager after their
ptey, and so dotern3itted upon. capture. that they actually fol-
lowed our brig within the buoy paced at the entrance of the
harbour, and then made an attempt to board. The Captain of
the privateer directed seven of the crew to jump on board the
brig; two only succeeded, will). not finding their companions
follow directly, leaped overboard; one reached the shore near
the Caves, and was made pr.soner, the other is.supposed to be
drowned. During thi4 disgraceful scene, there were lying in
the roads the Naiad frigate, and a sloop of war, supposed the
Echo. The batteries opened upon the privateer and drove her
off.

dated
at' last been received from the British Commander.
The time and place at which the dispatches were
dated, are enough to show the nature of the move-
ments which the state of the campaign had rendered
necessary. Castello Branco is North of the Tagus,
about midway between that river and the Coa ; and
from the change of the Head-quarters of the Army,
it is clear that no apprehension is now entertained
of any formidable attempt of the enemy on the side
of the Guadiana. Any demonstration of activity
in their operations against Portugal on the part of
the enemy appears to be rooked for by Lord WELI
LINGTON in the North, and consequently he has
moved the, main body of his army in that direc-
tion, leaving only the corps of General HILL in
the Alentejo, to watch the movements of the enemy
on that side of Lord WELLINGTON.
Lisbon,Papers have also been received to the 4th
inst. inclusive, by the Marlborough packet, arrived at
Falmouth from the Tagus, from which it appears,
that so early as the 17th ult. the cavalry of the
army of MARMONT, which had been left -at
Merida to keep open the communication with the
Army of the South, had left Merida for Almaraz on
the Tagus ;- and that the enemy continued his
march thence to Placentia, and still further to
Puerto de Banos, the celebrated pass in the moun-
tains of Estremadura, between Placentia and
Ciudad Rodrigo. Whilst MARMONT was thus
taking a Northern route, SOULT was marching back
to Artrdibisia,*at the head of 8000 men, with a view
tO proceed direct for Valencia, which he hoped to
reduce. The detachments which he had left he.
Lund to keep open his communications with B.ida-
joz and the army of MARMONT, had been succes-
site!), called in ; so that with the exception of the
garrison of Badajon, no French force of any amount
remained, at the date of the dispatches, in the vici-
tity of the Guadiana. This total alteration in the
position and distribution of the French army, natu-
rally and necessarily led to a correspondent change
in the position and destination of the Allied forces ;
and hence Lord WELLINGTON, leaving General
limes corps in the Alentejo, has marched with the
great strength of his army towards the North, hay-
at the date of his dispatch, pushed on his
light troops towards Pennamayor and Sabugal.

threatened appeal- to the people. Vie will ask the
Catholics what they mean by the 44 impotence of
Government." Do they know what forms the
strength of Governments ? The !Tide!, of their
subjects. To say that a Government. is impo-
• tent,. is therefore to charge its subjects with dis-
, loyalty. Let the Catholics be more guarded, lest,
notwithstanding their incessant professions of fide-
lity, both their words' and actions do not subject
them to imputations 'which we trust:would be un-
founded. They mention " fear" as one of the
causes of the forbearance of qovernment: fear of
whom, or what ? Is it of the disapprobation of the
British Parliament ? It fully sanctioned„ after in
vestiption, the issuing of the Proclamation now
carried into effect. Is it of the displeasure of
this
the
Throne ? The sentiments of His
subject are well known, and those of the PRINCE
REGENT may be ascertained from Ms acquiescence
• with the measure. Is it of the Irish people then?—
How can this be, as long as they, who form the
• three-fourths of the population of Ireland remain
dutiful subjects?---Let the Catholics not suffer
• themselves to be misled. They have already proved,
by proceeding with their elections after the arrest of
the Dublin Delegates, that their end is not solely to
try the legality of their conduct ; for then they
would have waited till the pending trials should
have decided the point, but rather a continued and
systematic opposition to Government. They now
boast that their Protestant brethren have declared
in their favour. They tell us, with exultation, that
• Magistrates and Sheriffs, countenance by their ap-
probation and presence both their meetings and
elections, which thus assume a Parliamentary form,
and that they can now marshal against Government
the agents and ()Ulcers of Government itself. Let
them reflect that if men entrusted with the exercise
of lawful power have been persuaded to prove false
• to their charge, to disobey the commands of Su.
preme authority, and to sanction and encourage
disobedience in others by their presence and the
influence of their example, there is no cause in
this for exultation, but for grief, as a grievous
offence has been committed both against the
Throne and the country. We trust that should
any Magistrates have been deceived by %artful
explanations given of the tendency of the Pro-
clamation, which is represented as destroying the
right of 'Petition, -instead of merely forbidding the
election of Delegates, they will soon obtain more
correqinformation, and instantly return to a proper
• sense and exercise of their duty.. We hope also,
that no longer deaf to impartial warnings, the Ca-
tholics may at least suspend their proceedings until
the verdict of the Jury and the decision of die Court

•

cease by the loudness of their
declamations and the virulence of their writings to
inflame the public mind in Ireland, to a pitch de-
structive of- the salutary unanimity which ought to
prev4il throughout the whole of the British empire.

Which he would thank the landlord to take care of. He' then
woduced a 5001. and a 501. note, and 'said, e you see here la
5501. these notes he then sealed up in a piece of paper. and
delivered them to Shuckard the landlord. lie afterwards went
about the town and bought a variety of articles of lace, jew.
ellery, &c. referring to the landlord for his responsibility, who
readily answered, he had deposited considerable property witb
him. This obtained him crcdit, and he got t e gods of several
tradesmen; with which he decamp,d, and suspicion ?rising, the
deposited notes were examined, when they turned out to be
sham notes, but so closely resembling Bank Notes that the
difference is not visible on .an ordinary inspection. The word
FLEET is introduce d in small letters scarcely visible, and
the word PENCE is substituted for pounds • the cc rner letters
are white on a black ground, exactly resembling the genuine
Bank Note.
The prisoner was acquitted on the charge of frauds on a de-
ficiency of evidence, but he was convicted of publishing a note
with the sum expressed in " white letters on a black ground,"
which, by the Bank Apt, is a Misdemeanour, subject to six
months imprisonment, which sentence he received.

A great part of the rewards which are offered, are for speci-
mens of taste and ingenuity which may belong, not only to a pro-
fessed artizan, but also-to those who have not been bred to any
particular pursuit. Females will thus have an opportunity of
cultivating their talents and their fancy with credit and emolu-
ment : and in order to give greater encouragement to early re -
nits, it is intended that the further sum of One Hundred pout's
be distributed by the Patrons in rewarding other instances of in-
genuity, which are nOt particularly named in this prospectus.
The Manufacturers, &c. -who have not the opportunity of see-
ing the samples which will be left at the Institution, may, by ap-
plying at the PAN li/ON, or to any of the Agents, have samples
forwarded to them. As the N anufacturers of liirniingiiam,
Wolverhampton, Sheffield, and many other towns, are too va-
rious to be enuiliereted, ti :teen pi izes wilt be offered for new in-
ventions of any description, combining utility and taste; which
shall be delivered into the Institution before It is
required that alb subjects for reward, sent to the Institution,
shall he manufactured throughout by the persons who shall apply
for the premiums, or their immediate agents; excepting calicoes,
the printing of which must be executed by the individual who
makes application in person. Any Manufactitrer or Weaver
wishing to become a candidate fur either of the proposed re-
wards, but who has not the means of purchasing the necessary
materials, by producing satisfactory proofs of his skill anthinge-
nuity, will be supplied with money for that purpose. Every
article, fur which rewards be given, become the pr iperty of the
Institution. Designs, &c. by such of the nobility and gentry as
are conversant in moLiern decorations, will be thanktully re-
ceived at the Institution.

iiere they foun... him at a public-house, called the Waggon and
Horses; they learnt that, after he arrived there, he discharged a
musket in the yard belonging to the house. When the officers
enquired of him respecting the musket, he said it did not belong
to him, but to a soldier. Thr officers TIM being satisfied with
this account, searched the house by permission of the landlord,
and found in the cellar, behind a beer barrel, a gun, which
proved to be the same that Earl Spencer's gamekeeper went out
with. This took place on Wednesday evening. They took him
into custody of cote se, a; d on • Ihursday he was taken before the
wounded gamekeeper, who is not able to speak; he was prop-
ped up in his bed, but by strong signs identified the prisoner as
the man who wounded him : he having his perfect hearing, his
evidence was taken before Major Fleming, a Magistrate, which
will be made evidence on the trial. The witneses•to prove him
on the spot were examined by Major Fleming, and two other
Magistrates, on Teursthy, .at the Spread Eagle, at Wands-
worth. The gamekeeper is near 70 years of age.

by the H&eullndriest of the Jews, which also was soon reduced to
heap of rains: it was with difficulty that the female part of his
family escaped. His library, in which were many valuable ma-

course still farther, and burnt down the houses of Mr. Le Bats,
Dr. Shannon, Dr. Van Now), Mr. Abraham Mvileda, Mr.
Daniels, Mr. Smoods, and Mr. Isaacs, and considerably damaged
several others. Those who know Bury-street, wilt be able to

The prospect of a war between France anal
Russia, rapidly vanishes away. We lately fre-
qnently expressed our opinion that the favourable
opportunity of resuming hostilities was gone by for
the preent. ALEXA%DLR seems to have on this oc-
casion, displayed more foresight than usual. It is
said, however, that the vague rumours of his hostile
intentions, if not intentionally circulated for the
purpose, have accidentally proved most useful to
him ; by enabling him to obtain from NAPOLEON,

The report of the Committee of the House of Commons, to
whom the Petition of several thousand manufacturers and arti-
zans io the town of Manchester, and of several weavers, spin-
ners, &c. had been referred, has been printed. The Committee
acknowledge anti lament the great distress of the petitioners, but
are decidedly of opinion, that grants of pecuniary aid to any
particular class of nun suffering pecuniary distress, would be
utterly inefficacious as to every good purpose, and most objec-
tionable in all points of view, particularly as theygeould not fail
of exciting expectations unhoundt d in extent, incapable of being
realised, and most likely to destroy the equilibrium of labour
and employment in the various branches of manufacture, comb
nterce, and of agriculture.
According to a return made to the House of Commons, the
number of prisoners of war in the priton of Dartmouth, on the

SUPPOSED MURDER.

On Tuesday evening the Magistrates of Union Hall and the
Parish Officers of St. George's, met at the Committee Room, in
the Workhouse, to enquire into the circumstances relative to
the remains of the body of a man, Which was discovered in the
course of the morning concealed in a sack at the back of the
Globe Public-house; in the Borough-road. A woman, named
Jane Jones, who in the morning had claimed the relict as part
of the body of her husband, who she said was a sailor lately
escaped horn the French prison, and from whom she had been
separated by accident on Saturday last, now totally denied the
cirennistance, and it evidently appeared sle had fabricated the
story for the purpose of obtaining money from the l'arish
Officers. Enquiries during the day had been made by Coiling-
bourne and other Officers, and amongst other intelligence which
they had gained, it appeared, that two resurrection men having
quatrelred and fought, the person who was vanquished, had
':)urse to this mode of revenge. He procured the mutilated
-trill*, the sußjea of enquiry, and put, it into the sack, inclosing
with It a paper, contain-big the address of his opponent, and a
:istaternent, that at his house would be found the remainder of
V.IW body.
This circumstance drew a multitude to the house of the party
accused, who insisted on searching the premises ; the wife only
'being at home, shut and barricadoed the door, and informed the
mob, that if they would fetch the Officers of Union Hall, she
would admit them, .and any two respectable persons, to search.
'111.;y did set, but on the search taking place, no circumstances
appeared which could give room for suspicion. The search was
so complete, as fully to satisfy the mob of the innocence of the
party accused, and they inimediatelf- dispersed. To the dis-
tract of those concerned, till the Officers put a stop to it, the
mutilated corpse was exhibited to the populace by a dirty Jew,
at a penny and twopence per head. The Parish Officers have
ordered the remains t 9 be decently interred.

FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE EVACUATION OF

TO HIS HIGIINFAS THE PRINCE OF WAGRAM AND
NEUFCHATEL.

Salamanca, May 14.
Mannino/ea—l had the honour to give a' account to
your Highness, in my last dispatches, of the success which the
army obtained on the sth of May, over the right wing of the
English army. The enemy had employed the night between the
Sth and 6th, as well as the last of these days, to entrench the
centre of his line, which the army threatened in flank by its
po'ition after the attack. From that moment he has laboured
incessantly at his trenches. The attack of these works was diffi-
cult. Considering also that the garrison of Almeida had provi-
sions for only ten days, and that I could give them a supply for
only a few days more, l thought it my duty, under these circum-
stances, to give orders for exploding the mines wheels had been
prepared two months ago, according to the instructions of your
Highness ; and to direct General Brenier, who commanded the
fortress, to come and join me. Several day& were necessary for
charging the mines.
On the morning of the 7th I caused my troops to make some
movements, in mrnter to keep the enemy in that state of alarm
which he discovered by the assiduity of his labours, and I made
a show of rec -innoit ring all the approaches to his line.
On the Bth, I improved my position, continuing to occupy the
village of Fuente d'Onoro. The object of these dispositions was
to make the enemy tear a movement on the center • f his line, or
on one of his flanks. He therefore kept himself the whole d..y
in a mass, under arms, and in continual manoeuvres.
On the 9th the army remained in the same position's, and my
reconnoitring parties felt tbr whole of the enemy's line. The
English never showed themselves beyond their rocks and en-
trenchments; they showed by all sorts of defensive arrange-
ments, how much they had been intimidated by the vigorous
attack of the sth.

On the 10th, at midnight, the mines of Almeida were sprung;
five bastions and four half-moons were entirely thrown down,
and the fortifications destroyed. General Brenier displayed as
much talent as intrepidity in the conduct of this affair. He
retired with his garrison upon B.aba del Putrco, where he
joined the 2d corps, overthrowing .:11 that opposed him.
The operation which had put the army in motion being thus
terminated, it has retired to its cantonments.
I beg your Highness to lay before his Majesty the good con-
duct of the officers and soldiers on this occasion, and to solicit
the bestowal of the different rewards which I demand in my
ulterior reports. I ant, &c.

REVIEIV ON HOUNSLOW HEATH.

Upwards of two thousand cavalry, consisting of the brigade of
the 10th, 15th, and 18th light dragoons, under the command of
Lord Paget, were reviewed on Monday, on Hounslow Heath,
by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The regiments ar•
rived on the ground at ten o'clock ; they were commanded, the
10th on the right, by Lieutenant-Colonel Grant ; the 13th, in the
centre, by Lieutenant-Colonel Jones ; and the 15th on the left,
by the Duke of Cumberland. The Prince Regent arrived on
the ground at eleven o'clock, accompanied by the Dukes of York,
Cambridge, Cumberland, Kent, and suite, escorted by a troop
of dragoon guards ; a salute of cannon from the right and left of
the line having announced his approach. The Prince took his
station in the centre of the line • and the troops which were
formed in divisions, were wheeled into line by word of com-
mand from Lord Paget. The Prince and suite rode down the
front of the line, and up betwixt ranks, when close columns
were formed, and the whole passed in half squadrons, with
open ranks in review order, and next in single files. After
forming in close columns in the rear of the left half squadron,
the line was again formed by wheeling the divisions threes to
the left, excepting the left division, which took ground in front
and were packed threes about. This manoeuvre had a very
pleasing effect, hut was partly hidden by clouds of dust. Two
brigades of artillery, consisting of two troops, six guns, and a
howitzer, each advanced in front firing, and- the line retreatod
by half squadrons alternately. After charging two fronts the
line formed close column in the rear of the right halrsquadron,
and after taking ground to the right, under protection of the
cannon, the troops deployed into line on the third squadron; a
manoeuvre executed on the gallop in perfect order, and which
had an •effect highly interesting. A charge in line followed these
maneeuvres The troops afterwards changed front, and
charged again in squadrons, with equal steadiness; and at two
o'clock the line was again formed, and a Royal salute was
given.—A dragoon belonging to the 18th was dtsinounted in the
charge in line, and seriously hurt; as was also an artillery olficer,
who, however, mounted again istune,iiately.

VAUXIIALI, GARDENS.

The unexampled fineness of the weather has been such that
these beautifully rural and splendidly commodious Gardens,
were very fashionably attended during the week. On Friday
night they were crowded at a very early hour, and the company
continued to enjoy the amusements of these " beauteous Gar-
dens" till the purple in the Eastern sky announced the dawn of
morn. The vocal Performers were peculiarly successful, and
the Fire-works had a most admirable effect. Among the ;out-
patly we noticed the following:—
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duchess of Manchester,
Lord Dillon, Lord and Lady Ponsonby, Lord Clifford, Lady
De Grey, Lady Hamilton, Lord C. Bentifick,.Lady Harring-
ton, Lord G. Cavendish, Lord Folkstope, Lord Paulet, Lady
Pomfret, Lord Say and Self,' Lord De Dunstanville, and Cho-

tendered the exposition of their falsehood illegal
an.i therefore impossible. When, after this, Mr.
FINN zary again talks of oppression and couples it
with his Lordship's name, he will find fewer dupes
to credit his assertions, or admire his audacity. Had
Lord CkSTLEREAGII ever been actuated, as Mr.
FINNEUTY attempted to make the nation believe, by
a wanton and persevering desire of persecuting him,
surely this was an opportunity, when, without in-
curring the least blame, his Lordship might have
withholder his countenance from the Petition of an
avowed, and most inveterate enemy. He has,
however, taken a far nobler vengeance. He has
forgotten past injuries, and with the true spirit of a
Christian has interceded for a fallen foe.

A large camp has been established just to the
westward- of Boulogne : the weather being clear a
few evenings ago, a long range of tents was dis-
covered.
By a Gentleman who lately made his escape from
France we learn, that the importation of Engli.ch
gold coin is carried on to a great pitch. Scarce
week passes but several cargoes arrive at Calais,
Boulogne, and Ihinkirk ; they are chiefly sent in
gallies that. row with ten oars, and are carried in belts
round the men's bodies that row them. Several of

the men of war cr uizers on the station also have gallies
of the same construction, and have lately succeeded
in taking several of the boats which carry across
the gold. On Monday the Beagle carried into the
Downs two long Rallies rowing with 10 oars, one
catamaran, and two punts ; -three other boats were
" also brought into the Downs. One of the Deal
men was killed by, a shot, and three or four of the
men of war's men wounded. Some French field-
pieces were brought down on the sand and fired at
the men of war's men, but they brought off the
boats they had taken.
A dispatch in one of the Spanish Papers from
Don Jose Joaquim Agestanan, dated the Banks of
the Douro, April 12, gives a curious account of an
attack made by eleven men under his command,
on upwards of 120 French cavalry and infantry,
near Sanchon, whom, by pretending to be part of
a larger force, they dispersed, killing 21. on the
spot, wounding some, taking twelve prisoners, 60
horses, 453 head of sheep, and a great quantity of
plunder.
• By a vessel arrived at Cowes from the . River
Plate, information has been received from the latter
quarter to the end of April. The Government of
Monte Video and that of Buenos Ayres are still at
open war. Captain Elliot, of the Porcupine, it'
would seem, has differed in opinion with Governor
Elio, relative to some of the recent measures adopted
by the latter ; but, desirous of avoiding extremities,
that officer had deemed it necessary to quit his sta-
tion, and proceed to Rio Janeiro to consult with

Lord Strangford and Admiral De Courcy. The
British shipping, taking the alarm at the proceed-
ings in that quarter, were leaving as fast as their
convenience would permit.

TI IE P.ENINiUI. A.

No further dispatches have been received ; but
it is said that it is the intention of the French to
concentrate the whole of their force in the course of
the summer in Spain, and risk the fate of the Penin-
sula on a single battle. The whole of the enemy's
forces in Spain amount to 125,000, and that of the
Allies, exclusive of the guerrilas, to 110,000 men.
If General MA IMONT contemplates 'a plan of such
magnitude, he must evacuate all the fortresses, and
the conflict will he most tremendous. Should he be
defeated,the Peninsulauill be freed from the French,
and BUON APA RTE will not presume again to attempt
'the subjugation of Spain.

PORTUGAL.

We have it from unquestionable authority, tin
Ministers are in possession of very important ad-
vices from Portugal; their precise dates we have
not been able to ascertain with accuracy ; but they •
are subsequent to the 16th ult. and were brought
by an armed ship. The Dispatches are of such a
nature as to induce us strongly to believe, that the
next arrival from the Tagus will bring intelli-
gence of the greatest moment. No less than that
a battle has taken place, or, that M ‘SSENA has
retired from his late position as Santarem. The
distresses and privations which the enemy's- troops
have been imperiously doomed to indure, has; it
seems, left no other alternative to their Com-
mander, than to retire, .or immediately to risk
a bathe. The tenor of the recent Dispatches,
respecting the enemy's movements, induce
us to believe that the latter alternative had been re-
solved on. On the other hand, Lori WELLINGTON
was waking every preparation to meet the attack
with Oorresponding firmness. Lord WELLINaross

IRELAND.

The state of fretful agitation in which Ireland
has been kept, with little interruption, for the List
three or four hundred years, has again manifested
itself; and the Roman Catholic question has again
afforded a pretence for the revival of party spirit.
We say a pretence, because, from our knowledge of
the country, we can confidently state that, the
removing of the few disabilities under which the
Irish Roman Catholics still labour, could not be
attended with even contingent advantages. to more
than forty individuals of that persuasion. To the
mass of the people, that boasted Catholic eman-
cipation as it is falsely termed, is a mere abstract
political proposition in which they have no manner
of real interest,.but to which they cling, neverthe-
less, with their characteristic enthusiasm. To this
they are actuated, partly by the impulse of their
even natural hasty disposition, but more especially

the are assured, writes in high spirits, and the troops
look confidently forward to the achievement of a
:omplete triumph.—With equal pleasure we: can
I urther add, that Ministers express no fears, nor are
they under any serious apprehensions about the fate
of the army.—We have perused some letters from
Lisbon, of the 15th -of Feb. which mention, that
:t few days previouS to that date, a considerable
;lumber of troops from Plymouth, Lad been landed
ireni transports which had arrived in the Tagus ;
They were immediately marched to Lord '471.1.-
IINGTON'S Army.
We understand that the greater part of those
General Officers drank who had obtained leave of
absence from our army in Portugal, are preparing
to leave England for the Tagus. We trust, that
they may riot arrive too late for the expected gene-
ral action—that they may be on the field, and par.
ticipate in the glory of that achievement which is
so confidently expected . from the known valour of
cur own tioops, and from the straitened situation
of the enemy

our Plymouth Correspondent :
" PLymoul it, FEE. (28.,—Carne in the Bush and--Dragon

stores, twelve days passage ; sailed with a convoy under His
Igajesty's ship Poictiers, 74, on the 16th instant; parted com-
pany on the 18th ; and it is supposed the rest have gone up the
Channel. It is said these transports bring accounts, how far
correct we canact•votich, that Massena had broken up his ca p
at Santerern, and marched from that position, and that 2000
French sick had fallen into our hands. It was also reported that
Junot had arrived at Lisbon for medical advice from a severe
wound he had received on his reconnoitring party.—We give
these reports as they are given to us, without vouching fur their
authenticit,;. It is said that LordWcllin,,bton gave Junot his

The pistol, it appeared, was loaded with sit 42, thr(x or four of
which entered his side, and when brought into thi Office he
seemed in extreme pain. and was obliged to be seated in a chair.
Mr. READ strongly reprobated the conduct of the men fur

being two of them, they might have.. been able to secure him
without proceeding to such violent means, especially as tie was
well known to them, having lately worked on the premises.
The fact of the felony being proved, the prisoner was fully
committed for trial, and ordered to be sent to the 1-louse of

UNION HALL.
on Friday, Joseph Hum, a hackney coachman, was brought
before the Sitting Magistrate, charged wit h tealing a bundle of
cloaths, the property of Sophia Bousefield. The prosecutrix
stated, that she took the coach in Mile End, and the prisoner
put her bundle in for her; she ordered him to drive to Black-
man-street in the Borough, where she got out, but forgot to
take her bundle; the coachman, whose memory was equally
treacherous, forgot to give it to her, but immediately mounted
his box and drove off. The prosecutrix, however, instantly
recollected it, and nui to the next ,coach-stand, about twenty
yards from the spot, but although there were several coaches
on the stand, the prisoner was not amongst them, and a gentle-
man, who witnessed the transaction, informed her he drove
off at a quick pace immediately after having set her down; she
fortunately, however, remembered the number, by which
means he was discovered. He was fully committed for trial.
