nagement, captured ►l:em all !

Again—Did the Morning Chronicle never 'hear of
:one NEi.sog, a person not altogether obscure, who,
,almost under, the eye of this applauded 8t701..ii1.-
PARTE, Whose " management of. maritime affairs
is so able," attacked 'a
Fleet far more powerful than
his own,,and captured and destroyed, eleven Sail of
the Line.out of thirteen !! ! Or, to sum up all, did
(ha name - of 'Trafalgar never reach his ears ?—a
memorable spot, where (his same NaLsott, with
only twenty-seven Ships, attacked • tlitty,thtee
of the largest and finest Vessels which the °dean
ever bore, and, notwithstanding the " different
manner in ,which the maritime,power of 8u0N,,,,
PA LUTE is exercised," captured and cicstr,yed twenty,
three of them, .14141 disabled the remainder !

If these matters' have not come to the knowledge
of the Morning Chronicle; if .he is not informed,
that, in spite of the " Superibr address of BUONTA
PARTE in managing his fleet," it is now, together
with that of his fortunate Allies, reduced by his ca-
lumniated countrymen to a few small squadrons,
which skulk about from port to port, in terror and
dismay, he is seriously to be pitied. But if, as we
suSpeai be is aware of those incontrovertible fairs,
what language of reprobation can be strong enough
for a writer who has the baseness, in the face of all
Europe, to accuse the Officers of the English Navy,
who have chaced the flying squadrons of France
from sea to sea, of attending only to mercantile cap.,
tures ; and the assurance to boast of the address of an
enemy, who has seen more than sixty Sail of the
'Line snatched from his "superior management,"
and sUffered the " maritime power" of his empire
to dwindle into insignificance, amidst his most btre-
nuous exertions

The great number of Signatures to the Man.
ehelter Petition, presented on. Friday to the House
of Commits, is the only argument that can be
urged in its favOur,.and' yet when. we coustder in
what manner signatures are procured, and from
wh;mt they are in general derived, it is not 'an argu,
meat of much.force. Indeed it has been asserted,
without contradiaion, that the names of thousands
have been placed in the list of subscribers to this
very Petirion, who never saw or heard. of it 'till
they heard that their names had thus been annexed.
Women, aPprentices, and children, it is positively
said, have been on this occasion brought, for-
ward to give their opinion upon the necessity of
Peace, and to advise the Legislature to adopt such
measures as their wisdom might suggest for the
4unitiment of that desirable objed. Nothing can
be more Obvious than that Ministers must be full
as anxious to relieve every class of the People from
the pressures of War as their opponent's, who insti-
gate such PetitionS. But the chief objeaion to these
Petitions is, that, while they tend to embarrass
Government, they tend also to give auitnation.to
our Enenilea, 3114 thereby throw obstaehis is the

forw ad to accelerate. The Enemymust necessarily
conclude that these Petitions will at length induce
our Goveniment to make advance& for the again-
:meta of Peace, and consequently diSpose that Eno:
my, proportionably to advance in his requisitions ;
or if he does. not believe so himself, he will at least
have an opportunity of endeavouring to make bis sub-
jeas and dependent Powers believe so. The mischief of
these Petitions is. glaring, and there is no qualifying
advantage to accompany it. We therefore doubt
not that many persons may be induced to subscribe
such Petitions from the best motives, .as well as
others who have no view but to perplex Government
and advance themselves; the majority of the people
have too much good sense to give any encourage-
ment to Gun, or to suppose, thatany thing but na-
tional vigour, and a due regard to the national ho-
nour, will tend to procure that Peace which alone
we should accept, unless we mean to sink into the
same degraded state as those. Powers who have sub-
mitted to the arms, or have been ensnared by the
arts, of the common enemy of them all.

It is shocking to see the etreas of French influence

manifested in the: insidious Proclamation circulated
in Finland, in order to seduce the subjects of the

few months ago the Russian Monarch was considered'
as Arbiter of the North, and the last hope of the
Continental Powers. But he is now so much sunk

Report from the Head-quarters; dated Tawastchus,
Feb. 29,180 R :7--
." The _Enemy having compelled emir advanced
posts, as mentioned in my fOrmer Report oft he 25th
instant, to fall back frOm the frontiers, partof the
first brigade -
posted near.Forsby, under the\ orders of
Colonel CREPENBERG, whom I ordered to perform
the fundions of Adjutant-General, was attacked on
the 26th instant, early in the morning, by the Ene-
my far superior in numbers, and as his corps was iii
danger of being surrounded, he was forced, after
having Made a most gallant resistance; to retreati
,closely pursued by the Enemy. The. second bri-
gade, commanded by Colonel Adjutant-General AD-
•DARCREUTZ, knight, was attacked on the 25th,
near:Artsio ; and iu the night between the 27th and
28th, near Kakala, by an Enemy's corp 4 greatly str-
peril:it-In numbers; but the Enemy was received with
most distinguished valour, 'and repuked. The
communicatiort .bet Ween the two brigades be-
ing interrupted by the retreat of the corps which
had.been posted near Forsby, I was oukised to order
the, second brigade to
,:eMilge its posioot), by. which

and .the lefi. wing, of the second brigade bein,;, Ailed
Oyjhe. regiment of 'East Bulimia, the whole corps.
,tlow occupies a More. concentrated position. All
'ffiesi operations engaged so much the attention of the
army, and took up so much of our time, that it was
impossible to drive away all the cattle and remove
the provisions, as 1 intended should be done. Yet the
loss of magazines, as -well as that of killed. and
Wounded, is Out very trilling on our part, nor have
we, lost any Officers, 'except Lieutenant-Colonel
SJERNWALL, who was taken prisoner, and not one
piece of our ordnance has) fallen into the Enemy's
hands.

Capt. FBAS. BRAUMAN IS appointed to his.Majestr.s -

Should Sir RICHARD STRACHAN be so , fortunate
as to juin him, his force will be increased to seven-
teen Sail of the Lino, Sir RICHARD having with hint
the' Caesar, Colossus, Spartiate, Superb, . Candler-
land, Renown, and Warrior.- When . our cruizers
last reconnoitred the Enemies' ports, in the. Med-
iterranean, there were—at . Toulon, five Sail of the
Line; at Cart h.igena, eight Sail of the Line ; and at
Malaga, one Sail of the Line. But the French Pa-
pers say,, that fair Sail of the Line have been lately
I built at Toulon, and equipped for sea Admitting
this to be- the case, and that the whole of these
Squadrons have•combined with the Rochefort Squa
drop, and have sailed from 'Toulon, their united
force can tie only 23 Sail of . the Line, and not 30.
Satl, as the Foreign Papers state. It was under-
stood, that the Ships at Carthagena were greatly' in.
want of men and stores, and that not more than two
of them could put to sea. We are persuaded that
Lord COLLINGWOOD- will not hesitate a moment in
attacking their united-force should he be joined by.
Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, and fall in with them.—
ilia Lordship had received undoubted information.
that it was the intention of the Enemy to make an
attack ott Sicily, and it was therefore his intention
to continue at Syracuse, and not resume the com-
mand off Cadiz. Admiral PURVIS had ten Sail of
the Line off Cadiz, before the Sultan. and Bellcisill
• sailed from , Portsmouth to join him, on the 17111
and 28th ult. -

The two parties; of insurgents whose incessant
Outrages keep the County of Tipperary in its present,.
disturbed state, distinguished themselves by the .
tames of " Caravats" and " Shanavats." They had
lately a pitched battle, about 600. aside, at the fair'
of Golden; they kept up an incessant and well di--
retited fire of musquetry for a short time, during
which a number of men were killed and wounded;
they openly c►ppear in the town of Clonmel, wear-
ing the distinguishing badges of their respedive
clans. The Assizes at Cloninel have already pro-
duced four executions. These disturbances how-
ever. do not proceed from political causes, they are
the outrages of a lawless banditti.

• • THEATRICAL PRACAS.—A Violent contest recently
arose at Manchester between Mr. KNIGHT, bite of
Covent 'Garden .Theatre„ and now one of' the
Patentees of Liverpool, and. Mr. Dwvea, late of
Drury-lane Theatre. The cause:of this difterence
is said to be a Miss GRANT, 'an aaress 'of the Man 7.,
Chester company... A-duel was to have taken place, •
bat this being deeMed- too formidable'ti mode of ed..'
justment, the controversy was de,-;ided in the old
English style by jists and.. cudgels. At length the
‘...;
friends of both-parties .interposecl and 'put amend Co
this species-of hostility, by dividing the combatants,
and the matter, it is said, is now likely to be tertni;•?`
mated by the interposition of the law.
Since the return olCootte to Covent-Garden, the
bowie has, on each night of nis perbrrnance, literally
overflowed. The receipt has, we understand, been
equal to 5001. a night.—Cooxa's salary has been ad-b'
Vanced to 201. a week,:` without any solicitation, or
even apparent expeLiation,-on his part.
CATALAN' resumed her station .at the Opera-'
11°040 on Saturday but her indisposition is still so
great, that she was obliged to omit some of her
songs, and with difficulty gave the'others..
It is confidently said, that Arc SituainAk has dis--
Posed of his interests in Drury-lane Theatre.to Mr.
Jet''lEo, the Proprietor of the Dublin Theatre, .who
has for some time been negotiating for the purchase.
The subjeEt of the grand Ballet d'..-taion, which
is preparing at Drury-lane Theatre, and which is
ascribed to Mr. SHERIDAN, jun. is .founded on the
rim eorable story of the British Hero Caractacas.
oSuch a subje& is worthy of revival, and its it may
tend to rouse the national energies, is very proper for
dramatic spectacle. The same subject is, it seems',
forthcoming also at 'Covent-Garden Theatre, and
COOKC is to perform Curatach in the fine old play
of koncluca.
Miss SMITII has. engaged to perform during the
summer and next winter with the Irish. Manager.
It is said, too, that she is in treaty with the Drury-
lane Managers for an engagement at the end of that
period.
