. In the elucidat'on of. the whole business
I felt, as much anxiety as if the charaaler of
a brother had 'been concerned ; but in*tbis propo-
sition which I am about to tender to the House,
I have been influenced.by those considerations alone,
which would have influenced me in the rase of .an

. .
entire stranger. I havedone that which I thought
puhlie justice,- and public- policy demanded of me.
_./
It is for the House to determine on the question be-
fore them. For myself,,and forithe judgment which

. peat that I aril perleffly easy. As tar as lam con-

site, that although my Constituents are as popular
in their sentiments as those-of any. Member in the
House; I bayonet theleast apprehension, that Wheh
the course which Lime pursued is explained to them
I shall not forfeit that confidence. which for- so many
Years it hes been my. geed fortune to eojoy." The:
Right tion'eGentleman' ceucluded a must eloquent
and impiessive speech, by moving an amendment
to the motion of Mr. Wardle-.
Mr. libtruutisT declared, that, in his
,opinion,
the original' address sveS' so Objedionable, that 'he
could not accede- to-it ; 'but at the aame time he
1441 yd to suiltnit to the -.4-lousee in its stead, some-
thing very different from the amendment proppsed
by his Right Honourable Friend. He ccxild not
allow the propriety of. any,Address to his Majesty,
unless the Hattie bad something to communicate of
a very different :more. It would be absurd to' lay
at the foot of the throne an Address merely cone •
tanning an account of their proceedings. The pre-
ferable step,.' in his opinion, would be, to take the ,
sense of the House on a resolution, that his :Royal '
Iliehness tend by' his coodisee-exposed himself to •
due influence in the discharge of his important duties.
Should the House determine in theaflirmat ive on this
resolution, it unghtbefteted upon by- his 103,411. High-
stess,and considering the relation that existed between
bas Majesty and his 'Royal 'Highness, he did cenceive
that this would glently; Preferable to any Addresg
to the King, conveying the sentiments of the 119" e
401 i-the sr:bidet. He concurred entirely in the opi-
nion of his,Right Hon. Friend, that ITO corrupt mu,
lives could be imputed t. his Royal Highness; but
painful as the declaration was, it was a duty impera-
tive upon him to .state, that in the view 'which he
had taken of she evidence, it appeared to him too
clearly established, that..his Royal Highness had ex-
posedinmself to an undue intluenee. With tespett to
the charader of the witnesses that had been brought
forward, lie contended, that hoWever suspicious that
character, hovh:Ver they might be justly accused of I
being tit least accomplices -in the crime which they
proiessed to esposee yet when 'their testimony was
corroborated by indisputable documents, that. it ought
Unquestionably to have its due 'weight. He began
his examination with the ease of General Clavering.'
When be considered the manner in which this sub.
jest. was treated•in the letter from the Duke of York
Clarke, he could not resist the conclusion,
that the letter from Mrs. Clarke,' in which r this'
ataiwet originated, must have contained something .
more tieet eare inquiry Whether any new regi!-
ments were or were nut raising. In his opinion,
it mustlave cenyeyed to the Duke Mrs. Clarke's
Termed ha, :loyal Highness would give Genet al
Clavering one of tooge regiments which she pre-
sumed were abotit to be raised., The notoriety of
thy existence of ihfluence on the part of Mrs. Clarke,.

, ing formed a connection with such a 'worthless. wo-
man,- it was not surprising that his Royal Highness
should by degrees allow her to possess an infleence
over him which was certainly unjustifiaOle• • And
that she did possess this influence, there waS,
his opinion, abundant testimony to prove.' The
Right Hon. Gentleman then alluded to; the tett-
tinioey of Miss Taylor, which he considered' aieaf•
fording prout of Mrs. Clarke's influence over the
Duke of York. Ott the catie of Samuel Carter; he
waseiot desirous of ;preesing. inquiry. It was a go-
h erous trausattion on the part of his Royal Highness
and Mrs. Clarke, and he would. only observe that' it
was unlikely that Lieutenant Sutton's recomnienda-
tion four years previous to his obtaining tirtvcotri7
mission, was the cane of his appointment. I-Protn4
• the circumstanres; he conceived' that it must be
evident to the mind of every man, that there had
Steen reconstant • interference seting upon his Royal
Ilighness, which in many instances had influenced his
condua, and-was to a certain extent nrejudicial to
the interests of the army. .There vas a part nut
touched on, either in the Address of the Hon. Gen-
tleman (Mr. Wardle), or in the Resolutions. of his
light "Hon. Freed (the Chancellor of the. Birdie- -
(pet), Which inar•y puld think not the. least ine-
pt:nein itr this matter, and it wets this, Which did
sat go to the extent of corruetien as to undue in-
fluence, that .he had thought it is cluty.to poiht out
to the House. Unless some other Hon. Gentlemen'
pursued this course, he would,'at time close of the de
bate; suggest a Resolution, to mark with the animad-
version ut tee House the connection itself in which
the Commander ii Chief had been engaged, mid
else (e it hunt Yiewine it morally or religioasly) its
• .
political bad. conseqt.: uces and dangerous example.
Previous to this, however, he would deem it neces-
tary to come, to a tote ou ailesolution, such 8S th 9,
'first proposed by tile Right lion. Gentleman—aye or
la), whether the Commander in Chief was guilty of
'emloption or nut. Atterwards he would propose an
Address, t‘ that • the House had. observed with' the
decliest regret, that in Consequence, a a connection
the most inimoral and unbecoming, undue intiuence
had beet continually exerte4,' which brought ‘dis-•
.graceful charges against the Commander in Chief,
and tended to give colour to transaaions the most
.Pernicious and indiscreet." •
Mr. W filiTIM AD said, that after the iippartial and

could not possibly even be imputed to the want of
an able and acute advocate to defend him. He gave
the Right Hon. Gentleman credit for his assertion,
that throughout this, hilliness he had been atluated
by a conscientious sense of his duty, and in ani-
madverting on what had fallen from him, he would
so chastise his feelings as not to say any thing pain-
ful to him, while he pointed out the errors of his
reasoning, or the falseness of his.&durstions. . The
Rightlieneurable Gentleman .had begun and end•
ed his speech with an attack upon his Honour-
able Friend (Mr. Wardle). In the natter. part he
had cert.iinly 'no right to suppose that his Hon.
Friend in the expressions that fell from him had
meant any thing unconstitutional, or any thing more
than what was well grounded in fa& and in reason ;
that it became theMenibers of that House to look
tothe general sense of the people whom thesi, repre-
sented. The observations on. this bead came with a
strange effete from the Right Hon. Gentleman, who
had himself mounted into power by an appeal from
Parliament to the People. As for what he said
respe&ing garbled extre&S and libels,'he bs.d only
to call on his Learned Friend on his right (the At-
torney'•General), not to suffer such illegal poceed-
ing to go on unpunished. . For his part as, far as
he had been able to form an opinion, the cosi Ments
that had appeared in several publications, were as
gross and partial on the one side as on thentlier.s—
There was another part of whatbad fallen froln the
Right Hon. Gentleman.which he could not puss by
in silence,it was, where he told them in terrorem,
that if they rernoVed!the Duke of York frail the
Chief Command 'of the Army, they could not g A an-
other able to supply his place. That he had .done
much for the army during sixteen years in which
had theadMinistration of it—was gratited.' h
• had- introdticed legislations beneficial to the servics.,
advantageous to the soldier, and agreeable to tht'
interests of the coentry, was granted. But was it be-
caUse he was of the Royal Family that he was not to he
removed? To him it appeared ceteris paribus, that this I
was an objeel/bn to his Ina he Command ;
for-Whatever:might: be said on the SubjeCt, certain
it was, that the Duke of York was not treated like
any other person not of the Royal Family. He it as
not inclined- o take up the cause On Morarconside-
rations, and to urge the condemnation of his actions
in that sense, but wheti l4refleaed, that from these
immoralitiel it was that .00vertunents were shaken
and throneit'overturned, he could not but panic on
what was before him, and-conclude that it any
other person in his situation. true. been exposed. to
have so much disclosed against. 'them as the Duke
of York, thei'would have been no' longer com-
mander in Chief. It was not, however, his wish,
• to catch at every thing as, a. ground for his removal,
unless the matter in proof was stacient to induce
the House to think. that step necessary.. The Her
not and Learned Gentleman (Mr. •Borton)
had told them, .that he entered upon this inquiry
with his mind prejudiced against the Duke of
York ; for his part he-did not enter upon it with
such a feeling, but certainly with a high sense of the
honour, and Courage displayed by his HoiL Friend
(Mr. Wardle.) The Right Honourable Gentlethan
bad said that he did nut believe the Address was
prodUced by his Honourable Friend ; but that in
framing it, he bad mixed with cooler heads thau his
own. If the Right Hon. Gentleman meant no
more than he said, he certainly had no reason to
think his Hon. Friend so intemperate a$ to require
the aid of cooler heads; but if on the other hand he
meant to say, that he had lent himself 'to designing
men,' who had objeas in view beyond his own, it
was false to say 'so. His Hon. Frtepd was neither
weak nor wicked enough for such a line of condutt.
Such as his Address, wad, be would vote for it with-
out the fear of having any such mot ives aseribed to him.
Before entering upon the merits of the case he had
to refer the House to. the commencement of these
charges,, when 'allegations of conspiracy, conspf-
rotors, and secret' advisers, were so freely made,
at the moment when it' was generally brought that
all proof bad failed, and the matter -must drop.
instified..himself from this allegation, if meant
for him, and. declared, that he had only been in
company. with Mr. •Wardle twice during'the last
two years, and had oply one conversation with
him on the subjeet now before the House. In
that he had pointed out to him•the heart-burn-
ings to which he Would' expose Ipmself, and the
danger of failing in his proof; seeing' it .was die--
rived NMI such sources; but he had told him at the
genie time, that' it he was determined to bring the
matter forward he would,Vote for its being referred
to a Committee, and was sure no Member of the
House would oppose 'him. He had heard that in his
absence last night his Hon. Friend had alluded to
him in commendation for his aid, he .thanked him
for this' complimeifit, but he had tic* no more for
him than he would haVe done for any other man in
the same situation, stood by to see him have fair
play, and there had been occasions on which it was'
necessary for, his Friends to stand forward in his
behalf. The Right Hon. Gentleman bad accused his
Hon. Friend of flinching, but this was not the fact.
His Honourable Friend had stated distine.ily, that
the Duke of York bad cognizance .of the corrupt
practices carried on, and it was only a proof at liis
Hon: Friend's temperance in approaching the throne,
.that had • been construed into an abandonment of
his charges. If be had tided otherwise,. the House
would have heard enough ofl-the cruelty of wounding.
the feelings of afather, by a strong representation of
the misconduct of his son.
,Inahis, then, his opinion
exactly coincided with' that expressed by his Ho-
nourable Friend ; and that if he could have said the
Duke of York was innecent, he 'should have done
it in short cud concise terms a but if be was in
some degree guilty, he ought to express his, opinion
mildly in calm' language. -The Right' Hoourable.
Chancellor of the Exchequer had, inone of his reso-
lutions, expressed it as the opinion of the Houses
that his Royal Higlmess't,vould in future be less lia-
ble to fall into such destru&ive connexions, History
indeed afforded many 'examples of tuen, who had
risen from disgrace to greater eminence and renown
than they could otherwise have attained; and, in con,.
r-bidetatiotr ofthis; as well as for the lakdolliii'Ma-
Jesty, and for thesake of the. Duke of' York, ho
%r Would most cordially agree with the, motion of his
Honourable Friend. Undue influence had beeii
picseo..ia eitist to a great extent,' and the Pena
were called upon to mirky their sense of it. None
but drivellers would shrink from' the'diny before
them, and refuse to vote either that the tanduct of
' Iris Royal Highness was COMP; or that' he- hati

$ knowledge
of the corrupt practices carrying on,
as their opinion stood ; and it was easy for them it)
agreeing to, this resolution to mark distintaly what
their sentipents rbally were. Thus having made a
few generaf remarks on what had'been paid on the,
other side, he begged leave, with the permission of
the House, to say a few words on the nature of the
examination of the witnesses, who, for three weeks,
had attended at their bar, and of the degree of credit
due to their testimony. The Right Hon. Gentle-
man had said a good deal on this subject ; and the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman had given them a lec-_

tore on evidence, and the caution' with which the
testitnony of accomplices was to be received. The .
Learned Gentleman. had, from his own experience,
stated, that they ought not to be believed; bin he -
contended that they ought, ,as well in this case as in
cases of life and death, which they were every day
called into criminal Courts to prove or disprove.
How many murders would hays passed away un-
punished but for such witnesses ; and in this instance,
where the life and death of the charaCter of the Duke
of York; and the life and death of the country
were involved, he could not see why it ought to be
reje&ed. Where, in cases of corruption, was bvi-
dence to be got, but such as was brought forward
`on this occasion, out of, and nnconneCted with, the
Office of the Commander in Chief ? • The Hon. and
Right Hon. Gentlemen had undertaken a task of no
small difficulty to accomplish, when they attempted
to disqualify all the witnesses on various grounds,
some from parts of their testimony, some from their
situation in life, and others in classes which they
endeavoured to make out. Although 'women of
the deacription of one of these witnesses, might

and tat the present discoveries might be accounted
for on other -principles.' When she appeared at the
Bar she certainly displayed all that ptttness,
-wit, acuteness, effrontery, and iinpudence with
which she had been charged; but on being exemiti-
stil for three boors by a late Attorney-General, the
'present Attorney-General, and others, with the So-
licitor-Geoeral at their back, by way of a corps de.
reserve, and being culled in again and again,' and re.;
examined, till she was like to fajut through bodily
fatigue, they had not been able to make any thing
out, The Learned Gentleman (the Attotney.Gene-
ral), might observe that she had baffled him, and
when he thought !te had got her fast, off she went
into a new beat, He then 'hada some Observations
on the mode in which she %wet treated, and did not
think it strange, that if allahe Members encouraged
her by laughing at her answers, she should continue
in a course that appeared so amusing, till she ex-
ceeded propriety and

and made bet little of it. He got out some stories
which led to the disclosures respeaing General

respondence, which Mrs. Clarke would never have
produced but from these circumstances. How then
did Gentlenteu exult in her having advanced false-
hoods ? Gen. Clavering apply to her ! Dr. O'Mara

against Mr. Doveler for the money site Owed to hina

was is convincing proof that he did net believe Mrs-
Clarke was his wife; and as for the ,estimone of
'Reid, his waiter, porter, and the person who carried
the wine, if it was a case of life and death, he deSs
dared to God it would weigh nothing with hiirt:Le
He was of the same opinion with respect to the eel',
dence of Mr. Few; and the deditaion endeavoured
to be drawn front the Court-Merrial. The Hon.
Gdntleman went through the other alleged con-
tradiolions, and contended, that StoWers'a-evidence
did not prove that Mrs. Clarke's husband, whom she
represented as an independent . Gentleman, was a
stone-mason. He afterwards allowed, that this was
a gross contradiction. With regard to the two pointi
in which she was eceitradieted hy Mr. Knight, he
considered the first As. threat,nitig to expose the
Duke of York as no contradiction, as she bad not
then in view to do it in the manner iq which it' was
now done ; and as for the second, though be must
believe the testimony of Mr. Knight, that she had
desired the matter to he kept secret trom the Drake
of York, yet he could not agree in the deduftion, .
that because she desired one case to be kept secret,
she would wish them all to be so, If lint mill was
going every day, it was natural for his Royal High.
ness to say, " keep me out of sight of, Greenwood
or Gordon, whose knowledge of these things would
ruin me; keep out of improper hands." This was
not a contradiction, in substance, that woold make
hiin disbelieve all that Mrs. Clarke had said. The
next contradiction was, that .qf her haying denied
seeing Dowler more than twice, although she had
slept with him at Reid's. Was it not very natural
for her to deny this > and would any other witness
be disbelieVed for such a denial I As for the hinehing
of the:midnight plots on
.this occasion, it might be
a very fair inference, but could not be made e rea-
sonable deduction from the circumstance. From
all these coincidetices, he was not disposed to vie*
this witness with suspicion ; but lie had said so
touch only to show, that he. did not tliinic her testi-
mony;altoget her extieguishedahereliy, :14(1 he Would

that the Duke of York was not acquainted with the

- was another strong point which must Iti.ve awaken-

The Von: Gentleman now went into the several
caieri mentioned in the charge, and stated the points
of the evidence 'which made an impression on his
mied; that 'undue influence had been used -and
e9euiyed at by the Commander in Chief. This he
took to be proved in the exchange between Lieut.-
Colenels Brook and Knight, from the circumstances
`of a

&nee from 'Mrs. Clarke was a proof that no con-
spiracy existed between them, and that it was ex-
traordinary no one 'should be called to disprove the
changing of the note, which Might easily have,been
done. In TonYn's case,. he observed on the remark-
able feature of -Sanden's selling influence.tO Tonyn,
which he did not believe existed. The mysterious.
, note had, in his opinion by, the manner in which it
had been brought fiirwa'rd, and the fruitless attempt
Made to prove it a forgery, been swelled into an im-
portance it ci:d not deserve. He was one of the per-
ions intrusted' with the secret, and, like others, had
believed. the note to be as dead as Horner, and that
it never could' appear more. He had thought it a
forgery at first, but afterwards, on comparing it with
the other letters, he was convinced it was none,
which opinion was Dot shaken by the cock and bull
story of Mr. Town, the velvet-painter, or any wit-
ness he had heard. Sander's saying " they have
forgot it," was another proof it was genuine ; for
" they " meant Mrs. Clarke and the Duke of York,
and could apply to no other person. The Learned
Gentleman (Mr. Burton) entertained doubts of its
titele!n;leity. Would to God, for every reason, he
coold see it anti be convinced! But could it be pos-
. ail* that the Right Honourable Chancellor of the
gxcheeeer still entertained a doubt—if he did, one
from the dead would not convince him of its being
aerhentic. He. had no doubt it was genuine. It
had been observed that this note was dovetailed in
no where ;' butwirs it therefore to be excluded from

-The ATTORNEY•GeNERAL said, that as the Hon.
Gentlemen had addressed. some obServatione to him,
he hoped he might be allowed to make a few obser
vstions in his turn, to that Hon.. Gentleman. That
Hon. Gentleman bait said, that he could not for the
seerld attempt to gain the vote of any man, unless
frem his convietiort, But he well knew what autho-
rity he possessed in that House, and it seemed to
be his own eonvitti6n which he endeavoured to im-
press upon the mind of ethers. The present . ques,
lion divided itself into two, and upon a proper sepa-
ration of these two distinel questions must rest the
fate of the Addresses that have been moved. These
questions were--Ist. Whether the corruptions corn-
plained of existed or not ?--tally. Whether the Duke
of York, if they existed, was privy to them ? The.
Hon. Gentleman observed, that the Duke of York,
in the eyes Of justice, should not be more consider-
ed than the lowest subject—granted ; bet then let
not the Hon. Gentleman deny to his Royal High-
ness what is allowed to the meanest subject. Let
him assert his innocence; and let it not be brought
against him as an additional vletrge,- that he declar-
ed the charges alleged against him are wholly un-
fOunded. Let the matter be examined without pre-
judice or partiality. Bet the Hen. Gentleman seems
teady to stand forth the champion of Mrs. Clarke's
veracity, which he tells us we have made ineffectual
attempts to discredit. Mrs. Clarke is the Goddess
of his Idolatry, and he will not allow the sacred.
ness of her character to be violated. But how does
the matter stand ? is not her evidence impeached by
that of Mr. Nicholls, of Hampstead ? Did not Mrs.
Clarke deny ever having passed herself for a widow,
or ever having represented herself as the wife of.
Mr. Dewier ? Yet it has been proved by Mr.
Nicholls, that Mrs. Clarke has passed herself for a
widow, and afterwards for.the wife of Mr. Dewier;
and that when asked why she endeavoured to con-
ceal her marriage ? her answer was; that if the
Duke of York knew it, he would send Mr. Dowler
out of the country. But while .the Honourable
Gentleman is so busy in defending. one witness, he
does not forget to abuse ,another. Mrs. Clarke
had left some papers at Hampstead, ift the hands
of Mr. Nicholls.. The present charges being noised
abroad, Mrs. Clarke wishes to get back the papers,
and sends to Mr. Nicholls to demand them. Mr.
Nicholls refuses them, and tot-this. refusal the,Hon.
. Gentleman accuses him of having'aeled basely, dis-
honestly; and corruptly. These were hard wprds.; and
were Mr.' Nichols ue:that House, he would be en-
titled to retort theta, But it.is the ohje& of the Hen.
i• Gentleman to beat down Mr. Nicholls, and to uphold
Mrs. Clarke. But Mr. Nicholls may defend himself.
. He may say Mrs. Clarke is my .Creditor ; and .f•
am justified in retaining her papers until I am peid
what she justly is indebted to me.. . But it is not
only Mr. Nicholls whom the Hon. Gentleman at-
tacks, but those who brought him forward, as a
witness. Other witnesses, hoWeser, have deposed
to the same efill6t , is not Airs Clarke again con-
` midi:led when she denies that'she passed at Reid'e
Hotel -for Mrs. Dowlet ? and hero again is a mate 7
rial contradietion to be observed on the part of Mr,
Dowler.. Mr. Dowler, says; he saw Mrs..Clerkeen
the gutiday after hisearrival, and that he only found
her address throitgli the medium of, the Newspapers;
yet Mrs., Clarke flew to him tomsedietely on his arrival,
• and passed a ni'ght with himu at the Hotel lie had al-
ready nuAtioued. "This again was a Material contra-
diaien on the part of Mr. Duwler, who was anxious
to make the tiouse believe he was an unwilling wit-.
IIR3S. Mrs. Clarke's evidence is also eetaredided by
Mr. Knight where he asserts., that Mrs. C. made it a ;
point teat all should be kept:a secret troth the Duke
of 'York, and that she also threatened to bring for-
ward the Deke's letters.. Mrs. C. is also contradicted
where she says that she never knew Mee Neery
' under any other name than that of Favery, although
it has been proved that she knew Mrs. ['Avery un-
der the name of Farquhar, and had even recommend-,
ed her as hou;ekeeper to Mr. mall{, under that teeter,
Were not these contradietious,
_and contradictions
of the west d;:eee ri:lture ? Where then is the Hon.
Gi.ottlemait's bOaAted succ..!s, in (want.% out oft he field
all thou who would attempt to discredit toe evidence
of Mrs. Cl,:rke ? ' The transaction
.of the exchange
between lit eolCand kteein, only proves that Knight
was deluded by .f wine, and that Thymie was de-
luded by Mrs. Chukre. It May be true that the tooL
was paid ; but nothing provei that it was paid to
the- ktio,eledge of toe Duke of York I yet this is
tee case upon which the gfeaiest stress is laid.—
The' LeartiA nentletnan then proceeded through
the examination of the other.caSes, where he again,
conviited Mrs. Mike of corstrediClien, and ofposesi.
themes which she pet in practice to gain money, by
inducing a belief that she had, great intidence over
the Duke, Whiie in no one instance can be proved that •
his Royal Highness was ever acquaieted with any of_
her stratagems, much letis tfiat he had ever partici-,
cipated in the fruits of her ir4oaitions. Viewing
the charges in that light, and thoroughly convinced
of the innocence of the Duke of York, he felt hinee
selfsbound to vote ter the amendment of his Right
Hon. Friend.

Mr. WerratiEAD sai4 a few words in explanation,
Mr. BANKS rose amidst a. general cry of " Ad-
journ, adjourn !" The 'Hon. Member kaid, it was
not hia intention to intrude typo the patience a the
HouSe at so late an hour; hilt ar he meant to move
an Amendment,upon the original citation, he was de-
sirous,of stating- the nature a i The Amendment
proposed by his: Hon. Friend (Mr.liathurst) would,
he said, form the basis of ‘vhat he meant to submit ;
and though he was prepared to proceed, if the House
were disposed to hear him, he giouldthink it more
advisable to avail himself of thelew hours reflection
which the adjournment would give, and to consult
further with his friends, noon at nint• that cAlled
for such grave itnd mature deliberaAn. It WilS his
intention to propose the abridgemen't -of Much of
the original Adlress, and to add to para-
graph that, should negative the conclusion of per-
sonal corruption, or criminal participation, or
nivange on -the part of his /loyal Highness. It
was 440 his intention to prepare, that that part

of the Address which went to the dismissal of his
Royal Highness should be left out •: but at the same
tense
that the Amendment should be so worded, that
it should express the decided opinion of the House,
that his Royal Highness could not, at present, con-
tinue to hold the office of Commander in Chief.--.
Having thus stated his intention, he should, with-
out farther remark, move, that the House do now
adjourn.

Adjourned accordingly at Half-past Four o'Clock

rat SThrFoirl), dated the f.td instant, .at anchor in
Basqui! 'toads, with seven sail of the line, blockad-
sing eleven sail:of the line,.-and the 'Calcutta ; and it
now appears that instead of a Frigate, as mentioned
in hit former. Dispatch, published in the Gazette,
the Ship-on her beam7ends, and with masts gone, is
a new tiat-gun ShiP, and that site is complete*
bilged.. One of the Frigates is also bilged, and de.
'serted .by the crew, and 'the two others are on their
beam-ends.

'llw attack on Martinique was fixed for the t gth
of January. •

It is reported Pin.liacntnit is to be adjourned to
Tuesday next.

It is confidently said that an Austrian .Messenger
has arrived with pacific proposals from his Court.—
This intelligence is strengthened by several letters
from Heligoland, dated the 3d inst. that came by a
Packet from that place, which arrived yesterday.—
.It is also said that a Russian Messenger has arrived
with dispatches df the same tandoncy, and that the
Courts of Denmark and Prussia concur in a dispo-
sition to renew amicable relations with this country,
'
froth a sense of the necessity Of putting bounds to
the enormous strides, and overwhelming ambi.
tiun of the French Ruler. It is said that the
Austlian Messenger adually brings the Declar-
ation of War issued by his Court against France.
—Ministers ' have not suffered the contents of
these• Dispatches to transpire, as the success of the
measures in view depend so much upon the secrecy
and deciAOn which attend .their progress. We have
before expressed our hopes that BUONAPARTE has at
last roused the oppressed' and insulted States of
Europe to a sense Of their disgrate and danger, and
he bas perhaps reached the topmost round of his
ambition. •

The following are paragraphs, extraCted from a
letter, dated Gibraltar, Feb. 9, tang :

" A recent letter from Major GuasN, at Manresa,
in Catalonia, to GenerailivuummoND, states that he
had. ccilleaed above 6000 Spaniards, and, attacked a
column of the.enetuy, who were completely routed;
that they had precipitately abandoned all their ad-
vanced po,itions, and fallen back on the strong
holds. .`flu reinforcents which were on their march
from France' had been countermanded, and it was
believed that BUOSIAPAitTE Was 01) his route to
Paris.

" All.accounts from the Eastern provinces of Spain
. are favourablec . By the very lam& intelligence from
Saragosia, it appears the enemy had again been re-
pulsud
,with peat loss. Thintrio's army is com-
puted to, consist of 25 or 80,000 men, who, it seems,
are daily acquiring confidence from the use of arms
and practice in the field

NUPTIAL INFIDELfrY. •

- .
The unfortunate circumstance which we mentl°"
ed yesterday is now so much the subjeEt of convey:
sation, not merely in the highercitcles, that it viola_
be affeftation to be mysterious in alluding to it.' '
Mr. H. W-11.-SL-T, W}lo is one'.of the most amiable
and respeaable men in the country, had ob,erved. '
the particular notice paid to his . Lady by Lord P--.'.
' but having the utmost confidence 'in her. honour/ it
had excited no alarm in his mind. Aware, hon'•
ever, of the malice of the world on such occasions,
he had cautioned her against giving any appearaacq
of attention to the assiduities of that Nobleman, Mt
-she should expose herself to maly.volent insittuations.
Lady CuAIIt.OTTS,
it seems, matt-ested great coati-.
sion and distress in consequenee of this prudent and
delicate admonition, and withdrew hastily figin tits
room. . A short time after Mr. A--T, a friend Ok
' Mr. W-LL-st.-Y, called, and told the latter that he
had Seen Lady CHARLUTTE: walking in apparent.
agitation towards the Pink. Mr.W. with the utmost
anxiety for.the welfare of his wife, who, be thought,
might have been hurried by her feelings to adopt.
Sall)ti desperate ad of selt-destruction, went after
her with all possible rapidity, and iu a stale of ear'
turbation whiCh it is ltnpossib:e to describe. It
is needless to add Mat his search was fruitless...-.
It is said that instead of fteling that high sen4t: "it:
virtuous deliCacy and wounded sensibility, wine"
Mr. W. ascribed to her, the Lady had, as soon as she
quitted her husbatio's house, distnisted tier servatir,
took a hackney coach, and sent off a note to Lord .:
:P.-. The parties of course met, and under the inr•
.
pulse of that indignation which the Lady, felt
i,.
in
mistaking the dittates of tender admonition for t'''
workings of jealous spleen,. she; In a moment pl."'
pirated herselt into the depths of shame and sorr()„ '
