Question to Lord Teignrnouth—Your LordillipA, I
belie've, was acquainted with Colonel Scott ?
Answer—l had the honour of knowing him well.
State to the Committee your Opinion of his cha-
raeter.

his public chara&er, and his charaaer as an
Officer, I do not mean simply a' military officer, but
an Officer of Government, I bad the highest opinion
If his integrity and ability. I can so far speak the
opinion of Lord Cornwallis of his merit : when I re-
turned to Bengal, in 1793, r recoiled Lord Corn-
wallis telling me he regretted he had not been sooner
so well acquainted with the merit of Colonel Scott
as he was at that time."

Johnstone.—" I had not the good fortune to
know Colonel Scott very intimately, but every thing
I have heard of him lea 6 me to concur in the opi-
nion which his been stated. I am disposed to be-
lieve he Was a titan of very high honour and very
high integrity."

Mr. Cowper, first Member of the !Supreme Council.,
Q.." Did you know Colonel Scott ?"

A. I the honour of knowing Colonel
Scott, and a. better man, a man- more beloved and
respeOed than. ,Colonel Scott, I am sure, never
wept to India, nor flied in-India. Perhaps, on the
subjea of 'Colonel Scott's Charaler, I can mention
a circumstance which will be of more importance
to it than any thing I could say on the subje&. On

It i,ould be superfluous to quota any farther tes-
timoniala—Colonel Scutt is:•iti;• the •-peaceful tomb,

but, if to accuse is merit, what dignified charaeter
will not be traduCed ? What rascal will not create
for kitpself a claim ? Even admitting that we are
to judge of -the Marquis's actions by the evidence
only -.which Mr. Paull has produced, no man can de-
serve the gratitude of his Country more highly than
that Nobleman ; and no person ever merited more
justly the indignation of all good Subjeb'is than his
accuser. You see in hit a bold, base7born man,-
' with small talents, and no scruples, driving head-
long a ,demagogue course, that leads to anarchy and
public ruin, in-order that he may be a conspicuous

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1806.

IT would give us the utmost satisfaCtion to be
enabled to confirm the account from Leith which
we yesterday laid before our Readers, respecting
the ViCtory to have been obtained'by th 6 Prus-,
sians over the French on the banks of the Oder ;
but we fear there is no fonndation for
,the state=
Inept. The captain who brought the intelligence
left Dantzic on the 27th ult.. and as it would take
two or three days at least for the news of a battle
fought on the banks of the Oder to arrive at Dant-.•
zic, this battle must have been fought on the 24th
or 2,5 th ult. We know, however, both from the
French Bulletins and the qerMan Papers, that the
French were not near the Oder at that time; for the
advanced guard of the French did not enter Berlin
till the 24th. Besides, notwithstanding the' inter-'
ruption of the posts, it is hardly possible to suppose,
that if a' decisive battle had•been fought on the 24th
or 25th of Oelober, some account of it would not
have reached iHamburgh by the sth of November ;
and the Correspondenten of that day contains no ac-
count of.apy such battlo..

ON Thursday last the Expedition under the
command of Brigadier-General CRAUFT,TRQ sailed
from Falmouth. The Troops embarked were a
Detachment of Artillery, the 6th Dragoon Guards,
the gth Light Dragoons, and the sth, 36th, 45th,
88th, and 95th, Foot, amounting altogether to 4 or
5000 men. They sailed tinder convoy of the Spencer,
Ganges,Theseus, Hope, and Captain, of 74-guns each,
besides Frigates and Sloops. The destination of this
Expedition is of course diatter of conjedture, but it
is generally supposed to be South America.

Yesterday a- Cabinet Council was heLl at the Fo-

The plea upon which BONAPARTE resolves to de-
prive the Duke of BRUNswlcic. of his territories, is,
that being a General- in the Prussian service, he can-
not be deemed an independent Sovereign. Upon
this principle, as it has been justly observed, his
own minion, the Mike Of BERG, has not even that
right to his usurped dominions which has been con-
ferred on him by the French Emperor, under whom
he serves in. a military capacity. But what is con-
sistency to such a man as BONAPARTE, who has no
principle of action but his-own will and pleasure! !
