LORD CASTLEREAGH.

As this Nobleman, through the whole of his po-
litical career, has been the obje& of party malevo-
lence, and as the following sketch of his charaCter
and public services is drawn,,with liberality and can •gt
dour, we deem it an ad of justice to submit it to our
Readers :

Lord Castlereagh has been about eleven years en-
gaged in the public service. He became Chief Secre-
tary to the Lord. Lieutenant of Ireland during the
rebellion which biioke out in that kingdom, and under
Lord Camden and Lord Cornwallis was 'the leading
instrument in connteratiling and defeating it.
He then, under the auspices of Mr.. Pitt and
Lord Cornwallis, undertook to carry through the
Parliament of Ireland the great measure of the
Union—a measure which required large comprehen-
'ion of mind, the utmost address, perseverance, and
courage. By
:judicious Management, conciliation,
ability, and firmness, he effeeted this stupendous
measure, in defiance of every opposition arising,
whether from self-interest, party, or disloyalty, and
completed the ultimate hope of every true patriot by
consolidating the Union.of the three kingdoms, un-
der the imperial controul.O(one common Legislature.
Upon his becoming a Memberf the Imperial
Parliament, the Catholic Question led to the resigna-
tion of Mr. Pitt. ;Lord Castlereagh resigned 'with
.him, and gave up not only his office of Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, bilt the place of Keeper of the Privy
. Sea!, worth 1,7001. a-year, of which Lord,Sidrnouth
offered to obtain a grant to him for and which
his Lordship declined.
..Having thought:it his duty to support Lord Sid-
mouth in the Peace of Amiens, he after some 'time
accepted, by Mt. Pit t's desire, the place of First Com-
missioner to the India Board, and lie supported
Lord Sidmouth firmly and honourably till his Lord-
ship resigned his situation. To his conduet in that
department. the Dire&ors of the East-India Company,
have always .donejostice, and they have repaid hint
with their honourable' testimony and support.
Upon Mr. Pity's return to office, he continued in

his situation, and after a few months became Seere•
tart of State of the War and Coloni.,l Department ;
in which rapacity he planned and effeEted the con-
.,.,quest of the Cape of Good Hope, a possession which
Lord Melville had declared no Minister wonld dare
to give up, and the concession of si;hich Lord Glen.-
rifle made the chief arkUment of his opposition to thy
Peace of Amiens.

On Mr. Pitt's death, he resigned his situation, and
continued his conneelion with Mr.. Pitt's friends, till
he wis called to resign hs office, upon the injudicious.
attimpt made to force his Majesty's conscience on a
subjeet on which he bad agreed with Mr. Pitt not
again to disquiet' his reign.
It soon fel) to his department to plan and under-
take the'great Expedition to Copenhagen, the exe.-
cuiion of which shed so much lustre in his depart.
ment and the Admiralty. Whatever may be the
cavils as to the principle of this Expedition, there is
not a man who does not admit that it defeated the
great project of Buonaparte,atter the Peace of Tilsit,
viz. the uniting ail the naval resources of the Scheldt,
of Holland, and the Baltic, in a combined enterprize
against Great Britain.
His Lordship has since planned, and successfully
carried into execution, in concert with the Adnli'
rat;y, an Expedition a,zainst The
quest of this island was formerly achieved by the late
Lord Grey in 48 days, with a very considerable lots
of mu!. By his Lordship's' measures it was effeded'
in 23 days, with hardly any loss.
The subje& of Spain and Portugal would lead to,
long and tedious . disquisitions. Portugal was reco-
vered, and it, was not for want of means that it was
not satisfactorily recovered.' When our armies were.
to contend in Spain,, the enemy had become greatly
superior in numbers, and the question does not vile-
ly-vely upon our success or failure, but Avon the po-P
lidy,of assisting Spain, supposing our success to be
lrcmely doubtful. The unfolding of this policy be-
ongs not to our present statement. •

The last operation in which his Lords Pip engaged
was the important expedition to the Scheldt, as to
Which no man has queitioned the policy, if the
whole of its object could have been attained; and
no one has doubted`t he sufficiency of military means
employed in the enterprize. We believe also, no
One has doubted the pradicability of the measure
under favourable circumstances.

o enable.the country to make these efforts, to
give.her a disposable army, to plaCe her in.a situation.
Ofatility to cut off the colonie; of Buonap-arte, and
a;si-,t the efforts of Spain and. Austria, li;s Lordship
took every- wise means. of increasing the military,
force; he restored permanence to the army by re;
establishing rectuiting for an unlimited period ; he
induced the Militia to
,he subsidiary to the army,
which he increased to the amount of .50,600 rdnl
and file; and he reduced into order the anomalous
force, of the Volunteers by the establishment 'of the
Local Militia ; a: measure which, if persevered in,
and regulated with judgment, must render the hitt.,
dont at-ill fifties unattackable. •
Falsehoods without end have :been circulated
against Lord Castlereagh, and he has been stated to
have obtained 36,0601. a-year for himself- and his
friends. Lord Castlereagh now retires from office,
after. eleven years service, without the slightest re-
ward of any kind in honour or emolument ; and we
-:obet lit iite. co vellnine
eoLinilLstw, : places he has obtained for any
area Military Government for Ge-
neral Stewart, his brother, who has more than earn-
ed it by his military achievements; and an office of
6001: a-year to Lord G. Seymour, which
.was in corn
pensatiOn for an office in Curacoa, given 'to him by
; hiq brother,. who took that island, and which was not
irtsiored to him vt)hen Curacoa w as recaptured, which
`had been done in almost every other instance.
From the short review we have made, it will ap--
peat' that. Lord Castlereagh's public life has been
distinguished by a perpetual series of important mead.
sure?. They are the proofs ofan intelitgent, active,
laborious mind. If the Ernpir,- can preset ve the Cape
of Good Hope and Martinique, it will owe them to
Lord Castlereagh—but at all events it will owe to.
hith the Union. That, measure may have rendered
hit'n unpopular to all' who opposed it, 'to all who may
ti'e been personally losers by it iit interest and nye
por Wx but it will render his name hereafter pope'
Lir: in the-Empire, and iarnOus in posterity ; Ireland
already feels it value in ail its exports and its agria
culture.. •

BATTLE OF TALAVERA. DE LA REYNA.
At day break of the 28th, the enemy was seen at
the top of the hillock, where he had planted fonr
pieces of cannon. A line of infantry, having its
lett at the hillock, and its tight at Talavera, was
strengthened upon the hillock and in the Wain by a
second line, supported by close columns in mass;
and in the rear of the infantry were perceived heads
of columns of cavalry. At the extremity of the left
of the enemy's army, some squadrons watched the
valley between the mountain and the hillock. These
Stitriclf ons were,supported by two or three battalions.
Your Majesty stem orders to Marshal the Duke of
tellueo, to commence the attack. The Marshal,e
)
delegated this operation to General Ruffin. 1.1
General disposed three regiments in the following
tndntter:—The gte light infantry on the light, the
24th in the centre, and the 96th on the left ; in
clostecnludins, by div istoes and battalions. In this
order that division advanced. A file of musketry
was soon opened, and the 24th regiment speedily
obtained possession of the first platform of the
: it still continued its attack, supported by the
gth and 9Gth regiments. It had nearly gained the
summit of the hillock, and taken the cann.,n, when
-the enemy attacked it, as well as the 9th and 96th,
with fresh troops. The engagement was obstinate
and sanguinary ; our troops were obliged to quit the
hillock, and retreated. Your Majesty, who watch-
ed the attack, directed by Marshal the Duke of Bel-
luno, saw yourself that the-'retrograde movement of
Ruttin's division was executed slowly, in good order.
The 9th, 24th, and 96th, shewed themselves worthy
their-reputation. Marshal the Duke de Belluno has
informed your Majesty, that Generals Raffin and
-Barais, who commanded this attack, distinguished
themselves for the excellent dispositions which they
made, and the coolness with which they executed
'them. Marshal the Duke de Belluno adds, that
they were ably seconded by the Chif de BataillOn,
Regeau, commanding the 9th, Col. Jamin, of the
24th, and Chefde Bataillon, Loyard, of the 96th ;
rthat the latter was wounded, as well as Chaltier,
Aid te-camp to General Ruffin, and Auguste Vil-
ivaturin, Aid-de-camp to Gen. Barois.
During the attack of the hillock, the 4th corps
was in motion. One brigade of the Ist division ad-
, vaneed upon the left of Lapisse's division ; the other
brigade formed in echelon, in the rear. General
Leval's division watched Talavera. One brigade of
the 4th corps, coming from Atanjeuz, re-id not yet
reached the field of battle. Your Majesty's reserve
was in the rear of the left of the isedivision, and of
the right of Gen. Leval's division. The cavalry was
Si) ihe plain, in the rear of the infantry.
The attack of the hillock having proved unsuccess-
ful., your Majesty repaired to Marshal the Duke of
Beaulto, and, after reconnoitring the line and dis-
positions of the hostile army, resolved to order a ge-
neral attack on his whole front. You accordingly
gave the directions for the following dispositions
Marshal the Duke of Belluno was to attack the
,hillock with his three divisions.
Gen. Sebasttaid was ordered to post the Ist davi-
taibrt in two lines, on the left of Gen. Lapisse's di-
vision, bat a little in the rear, and to add to the se-
cond of this d4ision, the brigade of the 4th
Nv4eu it arrived s - Gen. Milhaud's division of dra-
gc)cins Was place(' on thiJeft of the line, to watch
Talavera. G
• en• Latour Maubourg's division, and
tt iev irdne orders to
f light horse, under Gen. Merlin, re-
corps, advance upon the rear of the Ist
which occupied an open spot, in order to
support it, and to be abte to proceed into the plain
when, the hillock should be taken. The reserve was
placed in a third line, behind the 4th corps.
The
movement of the 4th corps attraeted the
enemy's notice, and a very brisk cannonade soon
coin Me ticed .
Leval's division, which was to form in eche/I°4
behind the line, advanced, on the contrary, before
it. This mistake was occasioned by the ruggedness
of the ground and the impossibility of perceiving
the line, among the olive-trees and vines. This di-
Vision had not finished deploying, when it was at-
tacked by the enemy with upwards of 15,000 men.
General Leval immediately supported his lett by a
square, and himself attacked the enemy, who was
thrown into confusion, and left
the field of battle
covered with his dead. An English regiment had
grounded its. arms, and surrendered when the Co-
lonel of the regiment by which it had been cut off
fell dead. The regiment then made a retrograde
movement, and the English regiment found itself
at liberty. No more than about too men, the Ma-
jor, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Colonel, could be re-
tained. The enemy sent fresh troops against Leval's
division. Your Majesty perceiving that this division
lad-engaged too Soon, ordered it to fall back upon
the ground which it should have occupied. General
Sebastiani caused this movement to be executed,
and to be supported by the second brigade of the
division.
The line being formed, as your Majesty had de-
termined, the troops of the 4th corps waited till the
Duke de Belluno had commenced the attack of the
hillock, before they began to aa. The troops of
the tst corps were soon engaged.
General Lapisse passed the ravine, supported by
General Latour Maubourg's cavalry, and also by-two
batteries, each of eight pieces of cannon. General v
ilaue threatened the hillock, and covered the val-
ley. General Ruffin,
proceeding alon the foot of
the great chain of hills,
endeavoured to reach the
enemy's left.
At the same instant, the troops of the 4th corps
advanced, and a very brisk fire of musqueiry soon
commenced, seconded on both sides by a well-sup-,
ported fire of artillery.
The attack of Lapisse's division was at first suc-
cessful. This attack was powerfully seconded by
the artillery of the Ist corps, directed by General
DabbOville. It was likewise supported by the move-
ments which General Latour Maubourg ordered the
cavalry to make ; but, notwithstanding the valour of
the troops, and the intrepidity of General Lapisse,
this division could not maintain its ground upon the
right At this moment that gallant General'
received a Mortal wound. The army Was thus `de::
prived of one of its good General Officers, and his.
10.5 s was deeply regretted by all military men.

-enemy advanced upon that division in'tonsiierable
force. General Ray, commanding the-first brigade
'ot that division, charged the enemy with the 28th
regiment in column, and the 32d deployed in a
second line. This charge checked the enemy, who
renewed the attack three several times, but Was
often repulsed.
Tire enemy having concentrated the troops of his
right, advanced against General Beloir's brigade ;
that General marched to meet the enemy, and rout-
ed him. In spite of the difficulties of the ground,
the 75th regiment had reached the plain, by forcing
the enemy's line, when the charge of cavalry check-
ed his
.movement; Colonel Buquet was dangerous-
ly wounded and taken prisoner. General Sebas-
riani caused his division to be supported by General
Leval's, which, forming in a square on his left,
not only kept the whole right of the enemy in
check, but gave the second brigade time to form
in column, and,to oblige the enemy to take a posi-
tion farther back.
While the fourth corps was gallantly fighting, the
Duke de Belluno bad a 1 i aoself rallied Lapisse's divk
1
sion, anciconduCted it again to the foot of the
lock. General Villatte arranged the brigade which
was intended to cover the valley. The battalion of
grenadiers, commanded by the Chef de Battaillon,
Bigez, was already formed in column. The 27th
regiment made the same movement, when the ene7
my direeted a charge of cavalry against that intantry.
It was received will) the utmost coolness and Intre-
pidity by the grenadier battalion and the 2701 .light
regiment. Numbers of horses and men tell at the
feet of the ranks of the infantry. The English re-
giment of the 23d light dragoons, which headed thiS
charge, in spite of the fire of the27th and ot thegrena-
dier battalion, kept up the engage tweet in the valley,
passing between Villatte's and Ruffin's divisions.
General Stroltz's brigade, composed of the loth and
26th horse chasseurs, advanced to meet it. Gene-
ral Stroltz manceuvred with his troops, with a view
to iuffer the enemy's regiment to pass, anti to charge
it in !he tear. The contusion was soon complete.
General Marlin, with the pikernen (lanci.7rs) and
the light horse, took the enemy in front and flank :
only five men of the 23d light dragoons escaped, the
whole being either killed ortaken.
The line occupied by the hostile army, at the
beginning of the engagement, was now, in a great
measure, in possession of the Imperial army. The
post: of Talavera_ was attacked by the 4th corps, as
was also the hillock, by Ruffin's division, which
formed the extremity of the right of our line. The
enemy had withdrawn his. artillery from the hillock,
o: at least desisted from using it. From some re-
connoissances on the side of Talavera, it appeared
that there was a much smaller number of troops at
that post, than at the beginning of the action. In
short, every thing announced that nothing but a vi-
gorous blow was wanting to overthrow the enemy's
army, and to enable our cavalry to come up : it was
too late to undertake this operation. Your Majesty,
however, was disposed to attempt it the next morn-
ing, when some Officers came to inform you, that
the right of the first corps was turned, and that it
could not remain in the position which it occupied.
Other Officers, on the contrary, reported that Mar-
shal the Duke de Belluno was of opinion, that the
enemy's army would not be able to withstand a new
attack. In the uncertainty into which your Majesty
was thrown bf these different reports, you wrote
yourself to the Duke de Belluno to ascertain the
truth. It was ten at night ; we had all bivouaqued
for the night, about your Majesty, in the persuasion
that the action would be renewed the next morning,
or at least that your Majesty would not pursue a con-
trary course, till you had ascertained, by day-light,
the dispositions of the hostile army. At day-break,
however, your Majesty was awakened by General
Sebastiani, who
.had fallen back upon the reserve
ss ith the 4th corps, and who announced to your
Majesty, that he had made this movement, because
theist corps was retiring upon Casalegas, along the
foot of the hills.
There was now no time to deliberate ; it was ne-
cessary to Follow the movement. The reserve and
the 4th corps began their march. General Milhaud's
division formed the rear. The movement was ex:
ecuted slowly and in good order ; the enemy did
not pursue. Your Majesty arrived at the position
of the Alberche, by the high Toad from Talavera to
Madrid, at the same time that the first corps reach-
ed it by the road of Casas de Salinas. Some. Gen-
eral Officers, who had staid behind, having acquaint..
ed your Majesty that there were a few more wound-
ed in the environs of Talavera, your Majesty ordered
General Latour Maubourg to advance his division.
(Here follows a list of the principal Officers who
were killed or wounded in the battle, and of those
who distinguished themselves.]
The loss of the combined army may be computed
at 10,000. The English Generals Mackenzie and
Langwoith were killed, and a third General was
wounded. Many Officers of distinetion have perish-
ed, and eight days after the battle, 200 Officers, and
4000 wounded, whom the enemy had not been able.

join their corps.

At a dinner given a few days ago by the Corpora.
tion of the City of Cork, to his Grace the Duke of
RICHMOND, a Gentleman proposed the following
toast.:—" The glorious and immortal memory of
King WILLIAM 111, who put down Pope and
Popery."—The LORD LIEUTENANT immediately
rose, and objeaed to drink that toast : and having
commented with some severity on its evident tend-
ency, his Grace " trusted no toast would be per-
severed in of a similar nature." ThiS severe and
timely rebuke had a due effect, and was received
with much sati&fa&ion by the enlightened and
liberal. The Lon)) LIEUTENANT h3S always taken
occasion in public Assemblies to declare, " that his
mission to Ireland had principally for its object, by
express and earnest desire of the Sovereign, to con-
ciliate, not to estrange the affe&ions of the Roman
Catholic Body, as well as every other class of the
people."

Yesterday morning eighty carpenters, thirty-se-
ven bricklayers, and other NVorkmert, went to Dept-
ford to embark tor Walcheren, where they are to
be employed in building barracks, •

Yesterday a Court of Cornmon Conn:oil Was held.
After the transadson of 'Smile private business,
Mr.,DixoN rnoved, that the Culnatittee appointed

Mr. Sheriff Wool) said, that agreeably to the or-
der of the Coutt, he went up yesterday to his Ma-
jesty, at St. James's, to ascertain when it would be
his Majesty's Royal pleasure to receive the dutiful
Address of the City of London, when his Majesty
uas graciously pleased to appoint Wednesday, the
Ist of Noyetnber, to rec!,;ive it, at the King's Palace;
a; ;IA o o'clock. • . .

SAMUEL DIXOt!T suggested, the necessity, of
Makin. some alteration in the Address, correspond-
lug with the alteration of the
.d4y-, as it. was expe&-
ed that the Corporation would go to church, and
take up the Address on the same ci9T and moved,
that the Committee should withdraw, ;.-tud make the
necessary alterations. ,
The Committee . then:,withdrew, and after a.short
absence, reported the Address, in its amentiedslate
which, during the absence of strangers, the Coot
having been cleared; was. read and agreed to.
Alderman GoonantatiE,begged leave to call the
attention of the Court 10,3 paragraph which appear-
ed in a Morning Paper yeoerday. It was" apara-
graph, he said, extremely ridiculous, but material-
ly t,oncerning the privileges of the Members of that
Court. The statement he alluded to, related to a
person no less insignificant than himself, and was as
follows :

" We have been informed of the substance of Mr. Alder-
man Goodbehere's motion, which is expected to be brought
lima to morrow, at the Court ot Common Council. In
charity to the mover, we forbear to insert it, consisting, as it
does, of a recapitulation ot assertions yr hielt have been dis.
proved, and from which their authors have- with shame been
found to shrink ; and we have only to express our hope that
every lover of order will attend, and sliew' their independence
by voting it an iniamous libel."

In answer to this he begged positively to declare,
that he had no motion prepared in form or substance,
nor had he seen, nor did he know of any such mo-
tion being in contemplation ; he could only, there-
fore declare the whole of the paragraph to be a di-
rect falsehood. He was as desirous as any man to
encourage the right of an Englishman in freedom of
.speech, or in freedom of printing ; but it became
his duty ro take care that no false imputations or er-

roneous charges should affea his charaeter. .It also
became his duty to deprecate and oppose any con-

duet that could implicate the Court and Common
Council, or any one of its members; and from that
conviction he deemed it -incumbent to address the
Court on the present occasion.
There was another. paragraph in the same Paper,
and immediately succeeding the one he had just
read, which was equally false and unfounded. It
was to the following eited

" We understand the Lord-Mayor has given ordeis that no
strange►s be in future admitted behind the bar in the Court of
Common Council. We are not surprised at this order, after
the insults which some of the members have lately received."

This possibly was the produdhon of the same
hand as the former ; but it would be ridicUlcus to
suppose that such things as those could transpire, or
could be deemed of any use, unless there were some
persons behind the curtain of that Court, who con-
ceived the publication of such falsehoods would-serv-t
their party. If this should prove to be the case, he
could only deem himself unworthy of being a mem-
ber of a Curt where such persons were.
Mr. WAITHMAN said, ho conceived the honour of
the Court was deeply implicated in the matter on
which the worthy Alderman, had just addressed
them. The paragraphs alluded to contained not
only a gross and scandalous libel on a worthy Ma-
gistrate whose conduCt and charatier stood unim-
peached, but it also conveyed an atrocious libel on
the Lord Mayor himself, in stating that his Lordship
had given orders that no strangers should in future
be admitted behind the bar. On reading this shame-
ful assertion, he inm t 4 acted
ieniarcly iled upon his Lord-
ship, who unhesitatingly _declared it was not the
fat* ; and from the. knowledge he had of his Lord-
ship's sentiments, he felt assured • he would not
low such a track. With r,speti to the paragraphs

themselves, he would ask, it there was one indivi-
dual in the Court who did not entertain a strong
convidion, that they came from some of the mem-
bers of the Court Upon a fair view of the circum-
stances, he could harbour ,no other feeling. Gen-
tlemen would recoiled that there t as something
precisely of the same sort at the time of the business
of Sir H. Popham, and he thought he could recog-
nize the same style and manner. Some days ago it
was asserted in the same Print, that the Jubilee was
to be celebrated by a new party originating whh Mr.
J. Dixon. Upon the whole, he had so firm a be-
lief of the quarter from whence these things ori-
ginated, that nothing could erase the opinion from
his mind short of absolute demonstration. In
fad, nothing could conyinee him that they did not
originate in that Court. He had a Member in his
eye (casting a significant glance at Mr. James,
Dixon), who he had no doubt was deeply
impli-
cated in these transations. He, for one, would
never oppose the full and fair discussion of public
measures ; but for any individual to convey a para- •
graph reflecting on a worthy Magistrate, a mem-
ber of the Court, and with a view of prejudicing
the proceedings of the Court, he trusted there was
not a man who would not hold up his hand in
support of the strongest censu:e on such an in-
dividual; and if the person could be openly
CA-
posed, he would be the first to propose measures
„for his condemnation. With respell to the charac-
ter of the worthy Magistrate alluded to, that was,
too high and held in too much estimation to be im-
paired ,in the minds of his fellow-citizens; it evi-
dently appeared therefore that, the paragraph was in-
serted to induce persons to attend, under the idea
that something improper was to be brought forward
for discussion, and to prejudice their • minds in the
first instance against it, be it what it would. When
he first saw the paragraph he asked the worthy Ma-
gistrate whether it was founded in truth ? He im-
mediately declared, upon his honour, thatihe whole
was a talSehood. He did not know of language
sufficiently strong or reprehensible that could be used
towards the individual, if.cliscovered ; and he trusted
the Court would at a future period take some steps
respecting this paragraph.
Mr. JAMES DIXON declared, in the' most solemn
manner, that be had not the slightest knowledge of

was an advocate fur 'the liberty, be shy Ito mean;

could only again repeat his conteMpt of ttiu o:ppro-
brious language that had been uses towar,ls him, and
declare that the paragraph; -stating hat the establiSh-
mem of the Jubilee was by " Jaine6D xon,-
wholly unknown to him, and without his privity or
-consent.

Mr. SAMUEL Dixon* said-, it was not his Wi,h to
use any language that could give offence to
Court, and if he should be led to make any horst, t. -
marks, they were..such only as toe occasion COLI:,A.
justify. If the Lord Mayor would allow names to
be mentioned, and personal allusions to be made.,
there would be an cod -to all decorum in the Court.
CG old gentlemen forget the scurrilous paragraphs
which appeared in the public prints un a lave Occa-
sion, with reference to that Court ? They were re-
plete with the most gross and bestial language that
could be conceived, and yet they could not be sup-
posed to proceed from any Member of the Couri.--
(Cries of 'Go on,t-with the regular business.")---
He could with safety say, there was not one man in
England who caused more paragraphs to be to-!;ert.Al
than that very gentleman who now so loudly repro-
bated the practice.
The Lottp MAYOR now interfered, and said there
was no question before the Coutt
A long discussion then took place relative to the

appointment of an Alderman, to sit as Magistiate
in the Borough of Southwark, in pursuance of
ancient charter, and the question was finally referred
to a Court of Aldermen for consideration.

It being then nearly four o'clock, Mr. ILFaS~Le,
who had frequently risen at intervals, during the late
altercation, to call the attention of the Court, ex-
pressed a hope that at the next summons ot the
Court, be should have an opportunity of bringing
forward a motion relative to the Resolution of the
Court of Common Council, on the ist'ot August,
resPeaing Gwyllitn Lloyd Aardle, Esq.
The Court 'then proceeded to the eleatiOn of
a Clerk of Newgate Market, in the room ot Mr,
Thomas, who was dismissed last Court. After
the petitions were read, and the ballot taken and cast
up, there appeared a majority of two in favour df
William Sherri"), citizen and weaver, who was de-
clared duly elected durir:g the pleasure of the Court.
The Special Finance Cotutnittes presented a Re-
port, recotulending a salary to be allowed to the
Clerk of the Works, which alto souse ,iebdte, Wa!,
agreed to, and ordered to tie laid tietnre the Cottrt
of Aldermen. .

The account brought by the Eliza merchantman,
stating the foundet tog or tiis Majesty's ship the Lark
off St. Domingo, bit the 3a of A.igust, leaves many
families in great distress. Captain RoBERT Nicno-
LAS, late vice-Governor of Comm, and second sou
of Mr. NICHOLAS; of the Excise-Office there, co,n-
manded her;' for though made Post in his Niaje4tv'i
Ship the Garland, in July, the removes ha..t not ac-
tually taken place. It is to be obscred, that
though the fads are confirmed by letters fiom Cura-
coa, yet the source ot intormation is the same, vii.
a conversation at Curacoa with his Majesty's ship
the Tweed, who had the intelligence on ,q eaking
his Majesty's ship the Moselle, on her passage from
St. Domingo to Curacoa, who stated, that She had
picked •up one white and two black seamen, on the
4th of August, saved cn a raft irom the Lark, which
they said had foundered on the -3d; but even it is
not positively remembered by the t
who have come forward to relate all they know) that
it was the Moselle with whom the J. -puke, nor
does it appear that any report Was ma.te t the Ad-
miralty by the last pat:ket, though it sailed so late as
eight days after the accident is stated to hate hap-
pened, and it is well k nowt) that vessels go in 11,vei,t;
hours from st. Domingo- to Jamaica, though it
takes froM five to nine days to return. No source
of information will be to be depended on by the
relatives of those on board, for whose Conshlatina
this is intended, but the report which must be made
by Admiral ROWLEY to the Admiralty, and whi'±
must come by the-next packet.

Last afternoon, in l'ook's-court, Cnrsitor-street,' a
man ttll from a two-pair-ot-stairs window, while it,
the ad of painting it, and dreadfully -fractured his
skull. He is the apprentice of Mr. Atkins, of Fkur-
de-lis-court. The accident was occasioned by the
machine giving way.
