Admiial Lord GANIDIER hoisted his Flag on board
the Ville tie Paris, on Saturday last, preparatory to
his taking the Command of the Cl angel Fleet.

Our Plymouth Letter slates, that the Leander,
Capt. Mt:anAv, had arrived there from Trinidad ;
on her passage she touched at Madeira. The Por-
tuguese Colours had been again hoisted in that
Island by cOnsent of the,liritish Government. Our

Tits Gazette of Saturday last confirms the ac-
cibtint of the ca2tore, of the Island of Deseada,

given in nE Su)/ of that day. The Island is of no
importance in itself, but its neutrality wilt be of con-
siderable advantage to us in cbeckinethe mischief
arising from the Enemy's Privateers.

TuE Plan proposed by the CusricELLott!,:of: the
Excumnan, respecting the granting Annuities; ap-
pears to have given great offence to the Opposition ,
Writers, and their_anger lithe greater, because they
have not yet been able to discover any thing like a
solid objection to it. It is really entertaining to see
the manner in which they endeaVour to condemn
this Measure by anticipation. If it should appear
that individuals can obtain Annuities upon • ttreas
more favourable under this plan than they could
have obtained before, then the measure is to be re.
probated as injurious to the Public : If the converse of
the proposition should tutu out to be the case, oud
Government shOuld gain by the plan, then it is to.
be decried as a fraud upon 'individuals. Thus are
the Opposition doubly armed; they are provided
with a subject fur declamation in either case. But
this is not all ; their ingenuity has o&ually supplied
them with an obje6ion to this plan, even though
in its result it should prove advantageous to the pub•
lie who sell, and .beuetleial to tile individuals who
purchase the Annuities. "Ti,": says an Oppo3.:iOn
Paper, ." any persons shall
,be. tempted to come into
this measure, if any perions shall be so unnatural as to
preti.:r their own comfort to that of those who are to
live after them—what is to be the consequence )
Why, for every Annuity there will be, precisely Live
disinherited paupers flung upon the parish, and the.
poor rates will be aggravated by thisjahuincut
scheme !" Such are the dreadful consequences that
are to ensue front this Plan, and we shall nut be sur-
prised to find the Gentlemen of the Opposition:
ing meetings of the Churchw►rdens and Overseers
all over the Kingdom, and advising them to petition
Parliament immediately against this .nefarioni
project tbr raising the poor rates. The Writer.
has nut favoured us with the data from which fie
draws his conclusion, that every Annuity 'creates
jive disinherited Paupers, but if his c.alcufation be
correct, he has discovered what has long been a de.
sideraturn in .polititial economy, viz. the means of
reducing the Poor Bates; and the simplicity of the
operation will' increase the value of the discovery,
for, to accomplish this very desirable object, nothing:
' more will be necessary than to pass a Bill for the
prohibition of Annuities !

Though there can be little doubt that the Revolu-
tion in Spain has been chiefly effeaetl-by the in-.
trigues of France, yet• BUONAPARTH has met with
a more determined spirit in the people than he ex-
peaed.. It is indeed very probable that he only set
up the new King aq a Mere instrument, till he could
introduce such a military force into the Kingdom as
might awe the people into complete subinission,
and then invest another branch of his own family
with monarchical dignity. At present, however,
the pride and resentment of the people aro a check.
to his ambitious designs, and the following tindoubr
cd fat strongly 'manifests their feelings :—.l-corps
of French, consisting of 600 men, qtfartereellt a
certain distritq of Madrid, 10,a, in two niglits, nine-
ty-six men, who fell vianns tu the-secret'vengclance
of the populace. • The French General, in conse-
,
(pence of this event, reasonably apprehendi`ng that
many more. might be destroyed in the same 'Manner,
has given orders 7that.his troops shall not be seen in
the streets except in considerable bodies; and the
Spanish Government has found it necessary to issue
severe Proelamations, by desire of. the French, to
pin stop to these decided proofs of the enmity.
of the Spanish towards their new •Profeaurs. •

The number of Fxench troops in-Spain is by no
means so great as is artfully represented in the.
French Papers; but large reinforcements arc mar C-
hing 'from different parts of France towards that
Kingdom.
