A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
TILE AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.

THIS never-failing remedy for Children cutting
their Teeth, was brought 'from America by a family,
where it has savedC hundreds of Children when thought past
recovery through convulsions; for in halfan hour a-rter using,
the child will gradually recover, being as innocent as effica-
cious; and so pleasant, that ,no child will refuse to let their
gums be rubbed with it. When children are • four months
old, though there II no appearalide of teeth, mothers should
rub one bottle of the Soothirig Syrup on their gums, for, by
opening the pores in that early stageolot one child in a hun-
dred will luve,iirs, or what is termed breeding the teeth in.
their loinS, the cause of so many rickety childrm ; and pre-.
vents that painful operation of lancing the gum, which al:-
ways makes the next tooth much harder to come through.
Mothers ought never to be without the Syrup in the Nursery;
for ifa c;,ild wake in the night with pain in its gums, it imme-
4liately opens the p9res,.he4ls the 'gums, and prevents fever!
or convulsions. _ _ _

-THANKS FOR THE CONQUEST OF IA.VA. •
The CHANCHLLOIIO the ExOIII3O.OER, in.ritiiug
to.ruove. the Thanks of the House to the ditP,reht
persons for whoin he•should propose them, thought
tit necessary to state, that though, undoubtedly, the
recent great and glorious exertions which had led to
the conquest' ol•Java, would. most particularly call
.for notice, .yet it would not be just to the per tens
concerned, it they were to take so narrow.a view of
the subjed, as to confine their attention to that at-
chieverikeit..alone. To the conduit of the Governor-
General of India he• should !ern icularly call their at-
tention: -To the wise and well arranged ; which
he lied formed, was in a 'great degree owe •e that ul-
timate Success with which ent- arms had been crown-
ed. At the commencement of the pree,ce, war, ars
intimation had-been given 'to.the East India C rn.
patty, to guard them agaipst expending I irgv,
in expeditionS against the French East India islands.
Intelligence, however, was received bv the.Gover-
norsGeneral of India; in the year 1808, that the
islands of Bourbon and the Mauritius-were in such
a situation that it might be expeeted a well-titueil
blockade would compel them to surrender to' the
British. Proin subsequent information as to the
state of defence in which the, island of Bourbon
then was, he conceived himself to he justified in
sending out a small expedition against that island,
and at the same time he had it in contemplation to
prepare a more important force to proceed against
the Mauritius. The same intelligence that lid Lord
• Minto to form this design, reached. this 'country
at about the middle of the year 1810, in conse-
quence of which, instritliions were send by Govern-
ment to the.Governor-General.of India, to attempt
the conquest of the Mauritius. By this, fortunate
coincidence, it happened t bat when•insiruaionS to
that effect reached India,- the armament, which, up-
on his own responsibility, Lord Alinto had previously
prepared, was ready to sail immediately. Thit ex-
pedition proceeded without loss of time to its desti-
nation, and succeeded in effetting its object in the
December of the same year. Every thing that oc.
curred _in the prosecution of that enterprize was
highly creditable to all- parties concerned in it. Ge-
neral Abercromby, who commauded, had proved
• himself possessed of all the necessary qualifications
to.enable him -to discharge his duty in a satisfattory
manner, and was in every respect retell to the
task which had been imposed on him. It was howevet
thought,that though the condeol of that gellatitGene-
ral in itself could. not be too highly commended, y et
that-conques; singly was net of sufficient irneortance
to call for the. Thanks of Parliament.-=This at least
was the view taken of the subject, and till it was
followed up by those ulterior successes which had
followed, it was not thought expedient to bring the
subject forward. There was one circumstance con-
tithed with this expedition which he thought it his
(tiny -to mNation,_ as it was so creditable to Captain
Rowley, that it could- not with justice be passed
over. Before the capture of the Mauritius, it weuld
be recollected that a force hadbeen fitted eut for the
purpose of destroying the French frigates which
were in its neighbourhood. This attempt, tbough
successful in the first instance, was subsequently,
through various accidents, so unfortunate, . that our
naval superiority in those seas was lost, and for a
short period our force was inferior to the French
force on that station. -Things were in this situation,
when, by the distinguished exertion of Capt. Bay-
ley, by a vigorons display of all that could provehirn
worthy the confidence of his country, that superi-
ority was wrenched from France-by his valour, and
transferred to Britain: The turn thus given to things in
that quarter, c.,ntrihnted nut a little to-the success of
the expedition, as it, on its arrival there, it had -found
the naval superiority ori the side of Fiance, that cir-
cumstance might have considerably emberra.:ied its
operations. At that time, the Gevernor-General of
India repeated the observations he' had previously
inacle to his Government on the importance of Java
to,Fcance. He was aware that reinforcements were
exPeated from Europe, and before these could ar-
tiveebe w2s anxious alit it should betaken military
possession of by an EngliSh .army. He thourriA it
-necessary for the security-of our commerce and Os-
sessions, that the enemy should be dispoisessed
of
it, and proposed, as soon as the troops should re-
turn from the Mauritius, to -employ deem in this
service. For this new enterprize he was then pre-
paring, and he trusted that instructions to attempt
it would arrive before the expediioo was ready to

oppose, themselves to the undertaking, and here pe-
,culiar credit was due to Lord Miuto. Ile had made
such examination with respea to the course of net ig

gatien to be pursued, as greatly forwarded the objea
in view. From the ordinary course of navigation
in those seas, considerable obstru6tions- were to be
tested. Th,-se were so very great, that tlatePfiieer
to whom the naval part et the expedition to be,
.
trusted, expressed considerable apprelienskomoi,u•
that head. These, hos.veier, were comploe.bt,4is-
lipsted when the plan which Lord Minto had formed
was explained. Admiral Drery died in .Match,
and the command in consequence devolved upon
Commodore Broughton. The whole force sailed
cu the 31st of July, under the direetions'of Rear-,
Adatiral .Stopford, accompanied by Lord Minto.
The far:cling was effeaed at a place Called Chilichd-
ling, situate about twelve miles east of the city, on
the 4th of August. Some difficulties, it was appre-
hended, would be thrown in the way of the army's
progress, by the city of Batavia. This, howeeee,
was not done, as' the FrenCh evacuated-i+ltripl-7
proach of the. English Army, and it waslaketi4o6%34-;=
session of by the invaders on the gib
The enemy had retired to a strong position, wliidh
they had previously prepared, about two miles in
advance of their Works,. 'at Fort Cornelis. Their
positial. was defended by an .abattis, occupied by
three thousand of their best troops, and tour guns of
horse-artillery. There they were attacked by Co-
lonel Gillespie, who had
.so greatly distinguished
himself throughout the,operations, with the great-
est gallantry, and compelled to retire, leaving be-
hind them five hundred dead. It was here stated
by_the gallant-General who commanded, that though
thus far successful beyond expectation, the difficul-
ties of the enterprize were not yet surmounted the
enemy, greatly superior in numbers, .was strongly
entrenched in a position between the Great River
Jacatra and the Sloken, an artificial water-course,
neither of which were fordable. This pcisitinn was'
shut up by a deep trench, strongly pallisaded. Seven
redoubts and many batteries,monnted with heavy can.
non, occupied the most commanding grounds within
the lines. The fort of Cornelis was in the centre,
and the whole of the works was defended by a nu-
merous and well organized artillery. The season
was too far advanced, the, heat too violent, and our
numbers insufficient, to admit of regular approaches.
To carry the works by assault was the alternative,
and on that he decided. The situation in which the
enemy presented itself was such, that to different ,
Otficers, and to different men, it would hate fur-
nished an obstacle sufficiently formidable to prevent
arty farther advance. The General knew, the Offi-
cers ands:the men he had totoy command, and deter-
mined on an assault. On this occasion Col. Gilles-
pie led the attack with such spirit that the enemy.
flew before him as if they had no meana.of:refitt..,
ance. The whole of the business was:condtatterb;
in the ablest manner, and while the los4;of-vhe'
enemy was very severe, .our'fi was remarkably
slight, as. the greatest loss experienced was caused
by the -explosion of a- battery, which. our -vic-
torious troops had taken possession of. A variety of
different attacks Were necessarily made ; each was
Cr() wh.eil with success, and it was difficult to say
which had 'been condu6ted the best. The very able
exertions of Colonel Gillespie could, not he praised -
too much. It was due to that gallant Officer to
state, that at the time he thus distinguished him-
self he was not in good health. He was very unwell,
yet, tiiitettlitterig-in his-exertions, he forgot his weak-
neroein his eseelS atad was only solicitous well- tddis-
charge his duty.- One instance of this he Wished
particularly to notice. When the enemy fledi and
he save the horse pursuing him, Colonel Gillespie
was heard to lament that he had no horse to join in
the pursuit. A horse was then brought to him,
w..ich he ..was just about io mount, vt hen, exhausted
by indisposition, and the overstrained exertions he
had made, he fainted on the spot. Colonel M'Leod
also, who unfortunately lost his life in this opera-
tion, ought not to be forgotten. Than hint, a braver
Officer had never drawn his sword in the set vice of
his country. He tell, while nobly takinghis part in
the cite' 'loos of this' glorious day. The destranaion
of the enemy had been immense, as an artny2of ten
thousand men had been kitten, made prisoners, or
dispersed, with the exception of a small body which
had retired with the French General up the country.
The conduct of Sir Samuel Auchmuty, who COM..
11131;ded on this occasion, was entitled to the highest
praise. In speaking of hint, he had only to use the
words of Lord Minto. The Right Hon. Gentleman
here quoted that part of the Noble Lord'attter,
where he observes, that his Sovereign will not forget
the share, he (Sir S. Auchmuty) had in the -opera-
tions, not his countrymen tail to appreciate the man
who had so eminently distinguished himself. It was
almost unnecessary to state, that wherever the Navy
could take a part in the operations, all that could be,
done was effected by their zeal and valour. The
manner in which the subordination of the Army
bad been spoken of was a subject of much congratu-
lation. There never was an instance of an army
being in a country which afforded such temptations
to plunder, deporting itself in a manner more regu-
lar and coerect. On the importance of Java, as
an acquisiti& cl territory, he would not speak at
present, as he wished to avoid touching on any sub-
jea on which a difference of opinion might exist to
disturb that unanimity which he hoped would\ac-
company the vote. He would, however, say that
the conquest of Java was of infinite importance. If
it was not important as a colony gained to England,
it was of great importance ;hat it had been snatched
hoot France. That the enemy had been dispossess-
ed of it was of great importance to our East India
possessions, as in the bandssof France there was
every reason to tear, front the a&ivity of the enemy,
that it would soon be made the means of great an-
noyance to us. 'This had been perceived by the
Governor General, and to him in particular .wes;e:

Mr. SEERIDAN said, that with respetit ArPlirdt:
Fat Qt the transatlions which bad been brouEtit be:

fore the House, in which Sir S. Auchmuty, Col.
Gillespie, the other gallant Officers mertioned, and
the whole army were concerned, but one sentiment
could exist, and not a moment's hesitation in pro"-
nouncing them entitled to their warmest, sineetest,
and most 'cordial thanks; but he could nor see that
the same merit belonged to Lord Minto, or that he
was entitled to the vote proposed. In the first place;
it was necessary, before he could join in the vote,
that it should be proved, that if not necessary, it. was
at least very essential that Lord Minto should ac-
company the expedition, to justify his leaving his
Government to go a voyage of six weeks or two
months. His opinion was, that there was nothing
that could render his presence so desirable, as to
justify his leaving his high situation vacant for such
a length of time. Much had bean said of his great
merit in preparing, for the'expedition, before insane-
tigns froni Government to undertake it' had arrived,
but to him it appeared, that for that exped on there
Would have been no chance of success, if Commo-
dore Rowley's extraordinary and meritorious exer-
tions had not secovered the naval superiority in those
seas before it arrived at the place of its destination.
The wisdom; therefore, which had been ascribed
to the original plan by-the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman, he could not give the Noble Lord credit for.
Next they were told that the difficulties of the na-
Vigation in those parts was so great, that Admiral
Drury had at first despaired of the success of the
enterprize, till- Lord Minto disclosed to him his
plan, when all his apprehensions were t an end.—•
He (Mr. S.) was.glad to hear the Governor General
of India wis a great Admiral as well as a great Ge-
neral, and he wondered he had not taken upon him-
self to command at sea, as he had thought rroper to
look after the General on land.—But was it to be
credited .that Admiral Drury was so ignorant of
the navigation from Calcutta or from India to • the
place to. which the expedition was going, that he
old despair of the success of the expediton, till he
was possessed of the information which Lord Minto
had'pi4ed up from naval men, as he (Mr. S.)
must suppose.; -as he could not imagine thareLord
Minto . had this knowledge naturally, and he
did not knoat.t hat he had devoted ail considerable
portion of his time to the study of that science. But
the Rights-Hon. Gentleman had said, the only thing
'that could oncasion a 'differenceof opinion was the
value of the acquisition, and therefore as they must
be unanimous en every thing else, he would not
disturb the liarmonv.he anticipated, by touching'tii
that subjed at present. He would admit that the
value of the acquisition was of no consequence to
the Heuse when called upon to do honour to
Sir Samuel Auchnauty, and the Officers and men
under his command. Their conduct was equal-
ly entitled to praise, whether the instructions they
had received were wise or not, but it was very
different with respect toe" Lord Minto. When
they were called upon to thank him for planning
the expedition, the" value Of the acqui,ition ought
not to be left otit of their consideration. When
an enterprise of great peril was undertaken, they
ought to consider -whether or not it was worth the
sacrifice of brave men's lives, They ought to know
also what were the Means in our power to 'presets e
the advantage gained. They were to consider Wit-
thvr by leaving it we should not expose the inhabi-
tants of Batavia to certain destruaion, and whether,
by attempting to retain the Island, we should not
devote our troops to death The Right Honour-
able Gentleman here expressed some surprise that
no Director of the East India Company appeared in
his place togive his tribute of applause to Lord Mintet,
and complained of the absence of the Direetors as
being a negleet of duty. With respeol to the expe-
dition itself, it was one of such peril, that he under-
stood Sir S. Auchmaty, in whose praise too much
could nor be said, would have been under the neces-
sity of making a disgraceful retreat,. it he had not
resolved on the bold step of Storming Fort Cornelis,
thus risking his whole army and the population of
Batavia. Before this was done, he had understood
that it had been in contemplation to reilebark the
troops and give up the enterprise altogether. He
disliked the presence of a civil authority where a
military operation was to be performed. • It appear-
ed to him to be too much like the practice that had
obtained in France shortly after the Revolution, of
sending a deputy from the Convention to the army,
to watch the motions of the General. When he re-
colletted what had been the.condutt of Lord Minto
on .a former occasion, he could nut approve Of his
being placed in such a situation, as, it Sir John
Moore had taken the Noble Loid's advice, when
he was in Corsica, he (Sir John) would have been
a proscribed man. He must have proof that his
leaving his government was of great use to the expe-
dition, before lie could join in the pompous pane-
gyric proposed ; but at the saute time, to Sir Samuel
Auchtuuty and the army he thought they could not
do too much honour.

Mr. YORKE stated the dispossessing the French.
of Java to be a very important service, as the French
Government were very much interested in it, as
affording them the means of annoying our com-
merce in the China sea. He defended and praised
the conduct of Lord Mina), who had the merit of
forming the original plan for the capture of the,
enemy's Islands. He fully concurred in the eu:o,'
glum bestowed on Commoc..l44e Rowley, and con-
gratulated the country on having in its service an
Officer of such extraordinary promise; but still be
contended that his great services did not detraCl from
the merit of Lord Minter. He contended that the
Noble Lord was perfectly justified in leaving his
Government, to accompany the expedition. No
possible inconvenience could arise from his absence
at that period, and it was very desirable that he
should see the situation of the island when
taken to form an idea of the civil arrangements
rnecessary to be made, and of the regulations imme-
jdiately calleot for, and he would not have displayed
that sound discretion and judgment which mark his
conduct at all times, had he tbrborne to do as he
did. The Right Hon. Gentleman paid a tribute of
praise to the memory of Admiral Drury, and ex-
plained the course of navigation recommended by
Lord Minto, which had had the effect of doing
awaythe aprehensions• previously entertained, 'On -
account of the difficulty of the ordinary course pur.;-
sued. On account of the lateness of the season it
had been proposed to proceed on the expedition
with those troops which had been collected at Ma-

sent. was not more than was necessary, it ap-H

SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 181'2.

Ile last Ltfitris from Petersburg!), speak confi-
dently of the speedy renewal of an amicable inter-
course with this country. It is not concealed, that
the restoration of Peace between Great 'BC)lain and
pussia, will be the signal .of war between the
latter power and France, and great exertions
are making in Russia to meet the conflict. It
i.s said that a treaty of alliance offensive and
defensive has been signed between Russia and
Sweden. We know not what degree of credit
to give to this statement, but it certainly is•

not aO improbable as it tilay4ppear at the first view.
Although BETtNADOTTE has been raised to his pre-
.sent etninence by the intrigues and power of Elio,
Tilit'AßTE, he knows that the latter has not the mums
of protea'ing him against the resentment of the Swedes
if it should once be exerted against him, nor the
power of punishing him if he slcould prefer the in-
terests of Sweden to those of France, or rather those
of her Tyrant. Whatever, therefore,' BERNA..
.DOIFE'S feelings may be towards BUONAPARTE,
his imerest, and even his personal safety, re-
quire that he should conciliate by every means
in his power, that nation, the sovereign power
'of which he has obtained in •so extrathdi-
'nary a manner. There have been considerable
movements among the French troops in the North
of Germany; great numbers of them have marched
!tom the coat to the interior.

The Morning Chronicle, in adverting to the ex-
pected discussions on the subject of Ircldnd,
that Ministers having expressed their intentions
With regard to the Catholic Question, " it becarnv.
an imperious duty in the leaders of the Opposition,
to whom the Roman Catholic body look with
confidence, to come forward and avow the sys-
. tens upon which they are determined to ad, ire
place or out of place."' We wish very much that
the leaders of Opposition would perform this im-
perious duty, and tell the public whether they
retain, or have abandoned the principles they for-
merly professed respelling the Roman Catholics?
Do they, or do they not, think that the Veto is an
•indispensable concession on the part of the Catho-
lics, before their Claims are granted ? If they have
not given up their former opinions upon this subject,
it is most indecent and most unjust in them, to ac-
cuse Ministers of intolerance or bigotry, because
they the:uselves must, upon their own principles,
resist the claims of the Catholics, who have declared
that they will not concede the 'Veto. We hope that
the Chronicle will perform this " imperious duty"
for its friends, and that it will tell us a Lttle about
'this " system" upon which the Leaders of Opposi-
Jion are determined to aa, whether in place or not'.
We wish to know whether they are determined, if
they were in office, to propose an ab,olute, uncondi-
tional, total removal of those guards which the COu-
stitution has placed for the security of the Estab-
lished Church ? mould they make cond:tions with
the Catholics, or would they not ? Would they, if
the Catholics should refuse to assent to any of
the conditions (if any were proposed) consider them-
pelves justified in withholding what they- call
Catholic Emancipation ? These are questions which
should be unequivocally answered, because the
Party now found their claim to power entirely upon
their opinions with regard to the Catholic Question.
They have made 'themselves so ridiculous by their •
prophecies and lamentations about the Peninsula,
that they seem determined to drop that subject alto-
gether, and to confine themselves to one on •which
it is easy to declaim, and with respect to which it
is difficult to obtain proofs.
