• At Alto :hour last night, Paris Papers to the
11th inst. reached town. They, contain very little
news, but tliere are a number of Notes in the Ma-
niteur, upon his Majesty's Speech at the opening of
the Session of ParliaMent. Ws haVe given some of
the.MoSi important of these Notes ; some of them.
are hoi:Veder. couched in terms which it would be
highly iti#
tii. rove, that the continuance of the er for us to repeat. Time ,bjeat of
thent'imi
ct
Vcit'Airatiributable to the British Government,
itnd it sincerely desirous of .a Maritinw
Peacie,' that is, such a Peace as would for ever destroy
time naval superiority of this Country, and place us
almost as much at the mercy of France as the un.
fortunate Nations of the Continent are at present. .
Two more of the female relations of BooN A PA UT'S
have been elevated to the rank of Princesses, and
married ;o Princes of the German limp:re. ,

The Article .which we extraeled from the Got.
tenturgh Mail 'on Saturday last, proving, by the
declaration of the Dines themselves, that they lied•
determined on a war with Great Britain early in the,
last year, seems completely to have stunned the oppo-
sition writers; Indeed' the confession of the Danes is
so frank, ani the evidence of dates is so conclusive,
• that it' is Impossible:that all the ingenuity of the Party
could raiseadoubt unon the subje6t. We cannot, how•
ever, avoid noticing the line of condua which the
leading Opposition Paper has adopted upon this oc-
. •
easion. After bewailing in such pathetic terms, as
the Paper alluded to lias frequently done, the logs of
character which thisVountry had sustained by at-
tacking a people wholly unprepared for hostilities,
and desirous only of preserving their neutrality, we
should have supposed .that that Paper would have'
seized with avidity the first opportunity that' pre-
sented itself of vindicating the natiunal charataer,
'arid. that therefore this confession of the Danes would
have been eagerly and triumphantly communicated
td the Public; instead of which, it has,preserved the
most profound silence upon, the subjeCt ; the article.
from Copenhagen is not even given in its columns!.

The Opposition writers having found out that ther
could not, with any, degree 'of decency, cppiii.?9°
the report of. a difference' subsisting between Mr.
CAtiNING and other Members of Administration,
because it -Was:so notoriously unfounded in tan, have
hit upon a notable expedient to extricatethcmielves
from the scrape in which their absurd-assertion had
placed. them, and that .is boldly to declare that the
diNrences which did- subsist are now adjtisteci'
Thi!re is some ingenuity in this expedient, but it is
so very old. that it must have lost its effe6l..
tnnately for the Party, the most perfect cordiality
subitsts among the Members of Administration ;
and, what is still, worse, their popularity through'
out the Country is daily increasing,

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses SO-

LORD LAKE.—It is with much reccret that we
inform InlCrin the pubic of the death ()hills 'able and gal
lant officer. A fever which he caught in attending
the Trial of General WHITRLOCKE, and which in»
creased with the most alarming rapidity, was the
cause of the untimely loss of a man, who was
an ornament to his profession, and who had render-
eti.very important services to his Country. He died
last night, at his house in Ilrook-street, Grosvenor-
IqUare. *He had long been a favourite with the Prince
OfWALEs, who had testified' his friendship for the
Noble Lord cn many occasiens, and who; it was
generally understood, fiarticulady exerted -himself
to procure that appointment in India in prhich Lord
LAKE so conspicuously displayed his skill, enter-
Plize, promptness, courage, and, indeed, all ,the '
qualities which forin an accomplished Soldier. In
Trivate life, Lord LA was generous, friendly, and
umane. It is impossible not -to feel particular re-
Vet on an occasion of this kind, when we see a
gallant Officer, who bad often braved death in the
held, and who returned to his Countrrcovered with
the laurels which he had so nobly acquired; deprived
of life at a time when• he might have been expea-
Seto enjoy his well-earned honours for many
ars, and to feel a gratification which Very few have
(21)Portunity to obtain, arising from the conscious-
"e's havin deserved the esteem and gratitude of
his Country1
The manly charmer of Mr. FULLER, Member
for_ suise_.
Public, wA has justly excited the esteem of the
lade who know that 1)e is one of those patriotic
Pendent men who speak and at upon true
.tintish principles, who are the slavek of no party,
llold who cannot be bought or sold. It is an
!tour to any place to be represented by such men,
4:jkl notwithstanding the exultation manifested in an
wtll pposition Print, in the hope that Mr. FULLER
I°Se his seat in' Parliament, there can be little
4unix that the affluent, respeCtable, and independent
„,,,in.„en a Sussex will zealously come forward for the
‘,"`c'litof their Country, and give an effeaual support
5Q firm, decided, and public7spirited a character.
A Committee of the House of Commons is about
t
!be proposed by Ministers, to take into considers
nu the expediency of introducing the use of sugar
!edistilleries, in lieu of barley. The inquiry will
double objet---to ascertain, whether this al-
!ration should take place in regard to the English
tilleries .only, accompanying the innovation
pth certain regulations calculated to protest the
4glish distiller against smuggling ; or whether its
'Gotland,
should be absolute throughout England,
ecotland, arid Ireland ?
, LOTTERY.—The following statement of the pro-
qnce of Loiteries, for twelve years, back, will slfew.
that the profits to Government have increased since
!802 (when the new regulations took place) to nearly
• 'double what they were in the preceding six years,
namely, from one million seven hundred and fifty-
four thousand and seventy4our pi:funds to three mil-
lions and tineieen thousand eight hundred and

. 't!tu.s; such as postage of let teiti, stamps, advertise 11l -

Citizens .and inhabitants of the Provinces between Douro
and Minho, anti Tras.vo,Montes, do not make yourselves
uneasy remain quiet and undifturbed in the confidence
that the Spanish Army, which I command, shall not till.
nub you in your laws, habits, and customs; treat it with
the sincere friendship due to its valourand humane charaeler,
and you, in return, will meet with the same friendship. I
promise it you in the name of the King my' master, who is
as just as he is, benevolent. As a General vested with his
arms, justice, anti clemency, I shall be the faithful executor
of his sovereign outer; they all tend to protect you in the
deplorable situation in which you are found, on account of
the absence of your. SoVereign, and to liberate you from the
perfidious domination of the English, and from their ambiti.
•us ptilicx, which has taught them to assume the appearance
dr your intitiMe friendt;w bile theyare bent tipon your destrue.
tion. Rest satisfied, that al ijhe measures of precaution which
are now adopted, are intended to improve your situation,
to emancipate you front the disgraceful guardianship of
the English Government which deceives you, and to organize
the political systeni. The time is already crome when you
may understand the true interests of your native country, and
uniting your will anti your strength with ours, we can jointly
avenge the injuries which the treacherous
,ferocity of the
English has done to almost all the Nations of Europe : when
we can prated ourselves, and guard against their Machill3.
ionsi and when you may enjoy the protection kindly otli:red
you by his Catholic Majesty, my Sovereign.

Ali 1 promise you shall be religiously fulfilled, and I as.
sure you, on my word, that every Spanish soldier who renders
himself guilty of pillage, er any other offence, shall be pu.
niched with all the rigour pith:: law ; that every born subject
or inhabitant of the kingdom of Portugal; who shall take
part' in any coinmotion against the Spanish army, shall be
shot. The city, boroUgh, or tillage, from which a shot
shall be fired against the Spanish troops, shall deliver up the
ofrentier, or remain responsible ti,r his offence: In the same
manner shall be bound the fudge of the district or parish in
whesie territory any individual at the Spanish army shall be
killed, 'and stick district or parish shall moreover pay treble
the Valtfe of its annual produce, and four of the principal in.
habtiants shall be taken as hostages for the payment thereof.
It twill Abed me particular satisfaelioir, if l can be restrain.
ed fret?: infhmtting these punishments; and this satisfaction
will be considerably increased, if I should perceive that the
Portigtiesc and Spanish love each other, and that so far from
rendering themselves liable to punishment, they will by their
virtues make themselves wurlhy of reward.

thorough ignorance of the leading principles of hu-

and the consequent oppression which it threatened
to the civilized world. 'lt' thighi, indeed, be stip-
