THE COURT.

Wednesday, at about twelve o'clock, .his Majesty ar-
rived at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor. Soon after
two o'clock his Majesty held a Chapter of the Most Ho-
nourable Order of the Bath, in the Council Chamber.
After the usual ceremonies, Lord Cochrane was introduced
to the Sovereign, when his Majesty conferred the honour
off' Knighthood upon him; upon which occasion his Lord-
ship had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. Hid Lord-
;hip then retired backwards, bowing. Generals Sir David
Baird, Spencer, and Alexander Hope, were afterwards in-
troduced, and a similar eeremony performed.
The new Members then shook hands with the Duke of
Yprk, and .all the other Knights.
General Beckwith was elected a Member of the Order at
the same time, but he being in the West Indies, the ribband
will be sent him there by warrant.
After the Chapter, his
,Majesty held a Levee.
The following had the honour of being presented :
Brigadier-General Barrow, on 103 promotion, and going on
service, by viscount Castlereagh; M ajor-(hemeral tiralmin, nu
his promotion; Major-fleneral the Earl of Dalhousie„ on his
appointment to the Staff; lieutenant-Colonel Townsend, On his
marriage, and upon his appointment to the Warwickshire Local

ing, of the Earl Spencer, and treated with the greatest hums
pity and generosity, they being in a state of great distress. The
vessel struck on the rock about five iu the morning. Two ships
which were in company escaped. The Captain endeavoured to
secure the packets, but.could not succeed. By seven o'clock,
the Captain had all the ladies, passengers, andcrew, with the
exception of those mentioned in the boats. The weather was so
extremely squally, and a heavy sea running, he thought it not
safe to allow more than ninety-three persons in the launch, she
being so ex!remely'deep, and eighteeu in the cutter ; but order-
ed the jolly-boat back, though she was also very crowded, to
endeavour to bring off as many of those remaining as possible ;
which, from their obstinacy in persisting in not coming without
their baggage, the officer was unable to effect, excepting three
When they put off, our situation was still more distressing, as
Capt. Hawes, of the Monarch, the senior officer, followed by
the Earl Spencer, had gone to so great a distance, that the ships
could not be discovered. In about an hour and a half they ►ere
descried at a distance of about ten or eleven miles. The boats
st►ipping much water, kept them constantly bailing, which gave
the Capt. much apprAension, from the severity of the weather,
of their not being able to reach them; but about eleven A. M.
we were all safe on board the Earl Spencer.
Two of his Majesty's ships were dispatched several days after-
wards to the spat where the -wreck of the Travers was left, in
the hope of yet affording assistance to the whole, or a part oa
the unhappy people' who remained. As both Drowned and
Diamond Islands were in sight from them, and neither of them
distant upwards of a league, there is some chance that a part of
the people may be saved. Diamond island abounds with turtle ;
on which those, who may have been so fortunate as to reach that
island, might for some time subsist.

There was no business of importance before the House during
the earlier part of the week.

The Royal Assent was given to the Irish Sugar Bounty, Spirit
Excise, Flax Seed Growth Bounty, and Corn Export and im-
port Bills, Malta Prize Register Bill, Pension Duty Bill, Naval
Officers Widows' Pension Bill, Scotch Creditors Bill, Inn-
keepers Rate,; Bill, Dover and Portsmouth Lines Bill, and up-

Chancellor, the Duke of Moutrose, and Lord Walsingham.
The Captured Ships Disregistering Bill rend a first time.
Lord Auckland stated, that the nature of his motion for Tues-
day next respecting Divorces, would be to make it a standing
order of the House, that no Divorce Bill should be received that
(lid not contain a clause forbidding the intermarriage of the adul-
terers.
Lord Suffolk rose again, and wished. to know who sent M.

On the Noble Lord's return to town, he should submit a Reso-

lie made some allusions to other French Officers in this country.
Lord Liverpool said, he could not tell how he went out of this
country, that he was not employed by Government, nor vested

Lord Suffolk repeated his question, as to how he got out with-
out permission of Government.
Lord Liverpool could not tell. Government had frequently
no objection to foreigners leaving this country sometimes, in-
deed, they were compelled to order them out of it.—Adjourned.

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

NUMBER SIXIY-EIGIIT.

PUBLIC. DELINQUE,NTS.

The recent inquiry in Parliament has been attended
with many happy consequenCes, and has been followed up
by effects, which will produce a permanent amelioration
in every branch of the Public Administration. The coun-

try, as it were, had been long patient under the most in-
veterate abuses, and the disease, from long neglect, had, in •
. fact, become a habit of tly3 system. Not only the Minis-
• term of the day were totally without any sense of their own
personal obligAion of supervision and controul, but even
the people, iu despair of being able to remedy what they
• could not but feel and understand, applied themselves, to
bear, what they could not cure,—they extended thai-,in,
dulgence and favourahle interpretation, to even acknow-
ledged corruption which is the worst. system of a declining
• popular spirit. It would be, perhaps, too much to say, that
• corruption had become the law oftbe land, but it had cer-
• tainty become a matter of very lenient consideration bath
. amongst public men and the people themselves.
There is an end of the possible virtue of an'individual,
when he loses all respect to himself,—when he becomes de-
- ,praKed uppn principle,---when he recognizes no difference

botueen virtue and vice—and. b long inbit and indulgence , indulgence
to his Ova flaangs,.persm.des himself that they are either
failiugs.a4 4,lpr Inerely,necessary infirinitiess • It is the

same with the people, as withnn indil,idual. There is an
end of all liberty4' of all `pablic vitque, and patriotic spirit,
when a people perslkadt, themselves that it is a matter of
,perfect practical. indifference, whether a Government be
purely ,or inqurely administered,—when they adopt, as
a maxim, the necessity of torruptiouß, and the veniality
of mal-admitsiiiration. They may rest assured that. the
•Public OiliCers will' uot *be over virtuous where the people
are over indulgent, and that those will consider their
Own faults very lightly, who see them so lightly considered
by others.

- -
trnder this state t;circumstances, it is our sincere opi-
niou, t • e
that-the peopiel must, at least, participate. in what
appears to be the mnster-vice of the times, and thathaving
so lung slept—having spiong passively suffered the grossest
perversioa of the letter and spirit of the Consiitution—it is
neither re3souable nor just, that they should, at length,
awake to the full vigour of pi•actice. Public virtue, and
,public purity, however necessary to the well being of the
state, have, iu fact, been so long dispensed with in practise,
that though it is certainly time for us to return to our
senses, it will be rather hard to pass at once into the con-
trary extreme. Somelhing should be allowed to the cha-
racter of the age, and something to precedent, which, by
R long and unbroken course, had almost become the esta-
blished practice.

he Commissioners of Military Inquiry, and the War Office was
occupied in forming arrangements pursuant to the suggestions of
that Report, and also of the 7th and Bth Reports, he put it to
the Hon. Gentleman, whether he should not defer his motion for
the present, until he should known what arrangements would be
adopted, especially as the preparation of these papers might
interfere with the time of the clerks, now usefully occupied in
the projected arrangements.
Mr. Wardle had no desire to press his motion, if his Majesty's
Ministers were resolved to oppose it. Why had they not made
the arrangements alluded to, in all the period since J tine last,
when the Report was laid before the House ? Ile believed it
likely, that no arrangement was in contemplation, till he had
given notice of his motion. But he could assure the House,
that unless an entire change of system should take place, much
loss would accrue to the public. What cost 50,00nf. now, could
he done for less than 30,000!. and this he• would pledge himself
to prove. He could not see why the accounts should not be
settled here as well as they are in Ireland. He had been on
both establishments, and had suffered, together with his regi-
ment, by the failure of a Paymaster, and the arrears of accounts
in this country. lie declared that he did not mean any thing
personal to the Right Hon. Secretary at War ; neither did he
feel any personal hostility to his Majesty's Ministers ; for he
could assure them that he did not wish to see any other set of
Gentlemen in their places. All he had in view in his motion
was to skew that there were faults in the conduct of the office
to which he referred. Ile would withdraw his motion until
some day next week.—Adjourned.

Thk. Lady has always been very anxious to conceal her
own history, pretending she is of a genteel family, and has re-
spectable connections. Her husbatai .it is true is of a respec-
tahle and wealthy famiry ; but Mrs. Clarke's parents were in•a
much more humble situation. Her father's name was Far-
quhar. He was a journeyman-printer, of that branch called
a compositor,. and he worked many years in the house of Mr.
Hughes, an eminent master-printer. lie occupied a house (be-
longing to NI r. Burnell, the stone-mason, of Cursitor- Arco), si-
tuated in the court immediately leading out of Fetter-lane to
Cursitor-street. About eighteen years ago, Mrs. Clarke theft
about fourteen years of age, resided with her parent, and was
remarked by the young men passing through the court, it being
a thorough-fare, as a very pretty, sprightly, gaily disposed
wench, she being very fond of shewing herself in the court,
and of attracting attention. At this time Mr. Joseph Clarke,
son of a reputable builder, of Snow-hill, was apprentice to
Mr. Burnell, the mason in Cursiturs=treet, and became amazingly
enamoured of Miss Farquhar, Who readily received his ad-
dresses. She eloped with him, and they lived together about
three years, when he married her. She conducted her-elf
with propriety, and they lived together decently several years,
in the course of which time she bore him several children, about
fear of whom are now alive. But he was a man of a very
dissolute life, and-she says, she never entertained a design of
leaving him tjll she was twice visited by the effects of his
anmurs. Mr. Clarke is still living, a wanderer about the town,
on a small annuity paid him weekly, pursuat.i to his father's
o ill, being all the father left him. To his either •four or five
children the father left% eight thousand pounds each. Mrs.
Clarke's own father is .dead. She had two bsother3, one of
whom entered the army as a common soldier, arid is supposed
t..% be dead, and it is believed the other brother is dead also.
She had a sister. Whether the mother and sister are livin;,is
unknown ; but the person Mrs. Clarke calls her mother, is sup-
. posed to he her chief adviser.and confederate,• though no rela-

Q. Did that Captain Malin ever serve in any corps ? A. 1
never heard hedid, and I do not believe he ever did.
The other witnesses not being present,

Mr. Perceval pCoposed that ih'e Chairman should report pro-
gress, and inquired of the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wardle)
when he would be ready to go on with any of the other
charges.
Mr. Wardle said, this must depend on the arrival of Captain
Huxley Sandon.
I.ordCAsTLEnt.scat said, he understood the waggon train
was arrived ; the ord'r sent down ; and that Captain Huxle,
Sanden might he in town by the time the Committee should be
ready to proceed on Monday.
Mr. CANNING asked which charge the Honourable Gentle-
man meant to bring; forward first ?
Mr. WARDLE said, he could not discover where Mrs. Shaw
was: could he'have found her, he should have brought on that
charge first. He should, if agreeable, make a communication
to-morrow to any of the Right Honourable Gentlemen opposite,
of the charge he should next proceed in, and of the day on w hich
•he should bring it forward.
Mr. SHERIDAN stated, that he had used the freedom some
days ago, understanding that his Honourable Friend (Mr.
Wardle) was about to bring forward charges of the kind to
send to him, requesting that he would he cautious how he inter-
fered in the business, he (Mr. Sheridan) having reason to be-
lieve, that, with the very best intentions, his • Honourable
Friend had lent himself to an association of an unprincipled
kind. He was sorry to understand that his Hon. Friend had
not received that message, for, in the end, he was assured he •
should find he had been decoyed into a foul and unprincipled as-
sociation. Were we, however, to be told, that so grave and
important charges—charges by which the vital interests of the
country at this critical moment were affected, in which it was a
question whether any officer, or soldier in the British army
•ought or ought not to look up with reverence and respect to
their head; whether, indeed, he was worthy of continuing a
moment longer in the command of the army. Were we to be
told that in such a case as this any delay ought to be admitted ?
The Hon. Gentleman, forsooth, was not ready to prove his
charges.—Yes, but he was ready to make them ! Of delay, is
such a case, the honour, the best interests of the country, would
not admit. If the Gentleman chose to make his charges he must
be ready to prove them.
It was at length settled, that the Committee should sit again
on Tuesday, and that Capt. Huxley Sanden, Mr. Donnovan,
Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Shaw, &c. be summoned to attand.—Ad
journed.

Note.—Something like serious altercation took place between
Mr. Canning Rad Mr. Whitbread ; when, aptly enough, Mr.
Fuller admonished the House that they had " better go home
and go to bed !"

MY Lottb,—l have anxiously waited an opportunity to inform
your Lordship of the investment of this port by the enemy, with
a force computed at five or six thousand men. On the evening;
Of the 6th inst. the enemy was first observed in motion between
Figueras and Castillern, and, on the following morning, was in
complete po 'session of the Aicights that encompas this 13ay. 'On
the same da;, at noon, a small body of •the enemy entered the
town of Rotas, which, in an instant, was cleared of its inhohi-
tants, who either fled to their boats or the citadel for.protecti4n;
but a well directed fire from the Excellent "aild Meteor bomb,
both within point-blank shot of the town, obliged the enemy
precipitately to retire. On the first appearance of the enemy,
Col. O'DttlY, Goveroor of this fortress, made application to-me
UK assistance; when I. immeliately•reinforced his garrison with
the marines of the Eltc.llent, (with the exception of an Officer
and twenty-five men, who had been previously detached to Fort
Trinite),„and an Officer and fifty seamen. On the ith, the enemy
took possession ofseveral houses and ruins itOlie-rear of theltown,
as an advanced post, from which he has been repeatedly dis-
lodged by the Citadel and the guns and shells of his Majesty's

the rear-guard of the English, Who were upon the heights of
Prievass, a league before Villa Franca, cotrilsting of five thou-
sand infantry, and six hundeed tavalty. This position was
a very fine position, arid difficult to attack. General Merle
khade his dispositions. The infantry advanced, heat the charge,
and the English were entirely rooted. The difficulty of the
toutl did not pertnit the cavalry to charge, and only 200 pri-
soners were taken. We had some 56 men killed or wounded.
General Colbert advanced to see if the cavalry could form; his
hour was 4rtived—a ball struck him in the forthead, and he
lived but a quarter of an hour. There are two roads from As-
torga to Villa Franra. The English took the right, the Spaniards
the left; they marched without order—were Cut off and sur-
rounded by the Hanoverian Chasseurs. A General of Brigade
and a whole division laid down their arms.

Extract of a Letter from Monte Video, dated on the 11th
of December :

" The state of our country is truly afflicting. The Govern-
ment of this Town, understanding that the Viceroy of these
provinces, Liniers, was suspected of disloyalty, and taking •
warning from the fate of Old Spain, (whose ruin was brought
about by the incapacity of its chief magistrates), impeached him.
before the Real Audiencia. This superior Tribunal was found
as corrupt as its head, and unanimously voted in favor of the
Frenchman. They then consulted with him about sacrificing- us
to their vengeance, and endeavour to deprive us of our upright
and honest magistrates, and adopted other most hostile measures
whereupon the people here asserted their rights, and volunta-
rily formed a Junta 'of Government, which they established, in-
dependent of the Viceroy. This is the obvious part of a
civil war. A party among the inhabitants of Ilueuos•Ay'res
being misled by their leaders, and having some forces at their
disposal, entertained hopes of Success in their iniquitous pro-
jects, but we confidently hope to defeat their expectation, pru-
dently waiting till the Court, to whom our disputes are referred,
shall have given some decision. In the mean time we feel that
these proceedings here are shameful at a time when European
stain is so oppressed and afflicted ; hut we have the -satisfaction
ot knowing, that we have no other motives or interests than the
-relief. of Ferdinand VII. and the Spaoish nation.' I shall
hereafter remit you various ducuuleida.rei,itt.tc to these ateastu es.

THE NATIONAL IMGISTER.

Why did not Mr. Elliston contrive to appear, on this night,
in phopria persona'? Certainly he might have delivered some
species of introdoctory prologue, instead bf the pantotnimical
prologue which was recited; without, as we think, any degra:
dation df his dramatic char:Atter. Let him not slight this hint.
Shrfuld it he found that, While he does not disdain to solicit the
public cash, he cannot condescend to consult the public whim,
reccipti of the Royal Circus will soon whew him the effect
of popular opi9ion. " Those whti live to please must," as Dr.
.1 ohnson formerly wrote, and as Mrs. Hatton said, " please"
if they wish to live."
The inlerior of the :loyal Circus is considerably iMprofed
and beautified ; and, w lib judicipus attention to its various ar-
rangement, the present Manager, 1611 find it no unprofitable
speculation. Since Ms% Ellirton engages himself for the "m-

learn, that some means are not tried to exclude the lowest order
of prostitutes, accompanied, as they are, by the sharpers and
