SOLIM QUf3 DICrILL VALIUM AUDCAT?

LONDON,

SAFURDAY, JULY 4, 1807.

WE this morning received Paris aad Dutch Pa-
pers, the former to the 26th, and the latter to the
28th ult. They are completely silent with respe6l to '
the Pie ory stated to have hien gained by the French
'over the Russians on the 141/i. 'We are inclined to
draw the Mist favourable inferences from this ex-
traordinary silence. if the French had gained so
decishe a Vittury as was stated in the Hague.
Courant Of the 26th, it is most singular that no
further accounts had been received in Holland on
the 27th, and that the Papers. or the 26th and 27th
tihould not lave fepeated or commented upon the
extraordinary intelligence which' was received 'on
the tieth. We, however, by .no.means 'mean to
insinuate, that the silence of the Dutch Papers sob-
sequent tckthe34sh, is a proof that this account con-
tained in the 1444 Caurant was wholly unfounded ;
but it does, .we thiniv,iirord afalrgrotind of presump-
tion, that, the result of the.battlis of the-141h was
rot so Gera:treble to the /trenches- was at first
represented. VA: are unwilling to indulge ',hopes
that may prove too sanguine; or to -excite ex-.
veaations which may not be reali2e4:lL6nt the.
silence of these Papers-appears to us fsirlytto.
rant the Observations which we have made.
/t is also worthy df remark, that the first account
of the Viaory of. the French appea,red. in the.
liamburgh Paper of the 20th, and that although
BOURIEN*II receiVed Dispatches froth the Army
on the g2d and gad, no further details were,Pub-
lished as late as this 24th. NO manna
,what-.
ever have been received by GovernMent upon the
kubjea, which is the more strange, as the Admiralty
have ordered no less 'than eight, light Vessels to
cruise in the Baltic for the express it'urpoie of col-
leaing and transmitting honie the earliest account&
of the events of the War.

1.1 i

The Dwelt Papers contain ari absurd. account df
the total failure of an attempt by the British Forces
to retake Buenos Ayres on the 12th of February.
They alio state', that Ltetgas had taken Monte
Video by storm, on the igth of the same month;
• .
and cut the Britiih Garrison to-pieces. it is only
tecesSary to state,
,that the Dionick, in which Ge
heral BEnr.spoid came honie, did not ledve.Monte
Video till tlio-23d of March.

Ws hare tlii4 clay laid before °Ur Atiltleis toe.
Memorial of Sit H. MILDI4AY, explainingthe Whole
transattion respeaing the lease of his house and
lands at Moulsham. It contains a phsla ,diStitta
narrative of the whole transaCtion, and pilivet ber
yowl all pi:risibility of doubt, that the charges which
have been made with so much vehemence against
Sir Fl. Mu. DM AY are totally destitute Of foUnclation.
The enntraCt which lie entered into with damn-
=cut fur the teat.; of the thirty acres of land, and .
for which a Jury awarded the sued that he:viat to
receive, was a totally distinct transaetion Priam the
lease of his house and pleasure-grounds. The Jury;
An their verdi&, described with thii utmost pre•
cition the lands to which the verditl referred, arid
nothing tan be more clear than that it had waterer.
ence whatever to the house and pleasure-grounds.-
Now that we are upon the subjeCt of public Ingtii-
rf%, we cannot help again expresSing our wish that
the Committee would turn ha attention to thb in Vest
gation of the accounts rospefting the Foreign Corps,
to which we alluded a few days.ago. It is true. these
transaaions are of some years standing, but still if
the statements which we have seen be. cone& it is
a stibjea whith demands the most serious investiga-
tion. Some ,of the statements to which we refer are
contained in a pamphletpublished bya Mr. Pooot,
a. Gentleman, who, from his situation, had ample
opportunity of obtaining the fullest inforirati9il
re-
lative to the -expenditure of the money granted f.or
foreign Corps. We do not take upon euriclves to
vouch for the truth of the nctisaticii_lilCh thAt
Gentleman has preferred, but undoubtedly they are
et a nature to t:eserve the most serious inquiry.
