This army is continually increasing. ,

German Papers to the 24th inst. arrived this
morning. The only article worthy of notice
which theme contain, states that accobnts have
been received from Scio, of the Bth February,
intimating that some disorderly conduct had
been shewn by the Turks on that ill-fated island,
but that the disposition to outrage had fortunately
been aPpesed.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols
opened this morning at 778 4-, with little business
doing. Private letters from Paris of Saturday
evening state that a report prevailed in that
Capital, that General MINA, with his Army, had
got in the rear of the Duke d'ANuouLtmE at
Logrono, and had cut off his communication with
France, and that the Duke had consequently
been obliged to detach a division of his Army
against MINA, which brought on an engagement,
in which the French lost from 1,500 to 2,000 men•
Accounts were received yesterday from St.
Petersburg!, of a late date. The Exchange had
fallen a little, which was merely owing to the
operations in Commerce; but Gold and Silver
remained as before. No movement of troops had
taken place when the accounts left the above
capital. No Express from Paris this morning, in
consequence of the occurrence of Sunday.

FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened
this morning at 33-i, got up to 34 34. To-morrow
being settling day in all Foreign Securities, it is
feared some heavy losses will be experienced,
owing to its being a Great Bear account, par-
ticularly in Spanish Bonds.

The debate on Mr. illAcnoNAtn's Motion is

adjourned till this evening. It is already evi-
dent, however, that Ministers will have a
triumphant majority. Indeed, in both Houses of
Parßamat, the Opposition themselves have une-
quivocally approved of the neutral policy of the
country, and have only complained that the lan-
guage of Ministers, during the negociations, was
not, in their opinion, sufficiently strong. Whether

the tone of Ministers was or was not sufficiently
firm, however, is nothing more than a matter of opi-
nion. Their adoption of neutrality is a matter of
fact; and the unanimous approval of their conduct,
in that respect, by Parliament and by the nation,
of course, bears down all attempts to censure them
on points which are secondary, and comparatively
unimpo, .;40t., It must be a high gratification to
Ministers, and particularly to Lord LIVERPOOL
and Mr. CANNING; to find that their policy is
not only approved, but that, while the Country
hesitates on plunging into the contest which has
been madly kindled in the Peninsula, all parties,
and almost every individual in the United King-
dom, participate in the feelings of indignation with
which they have so nobly reprobated inltheir places,
in the British Parliament, the injustice of the
unprincipled attack upon Spain, and in the fervent
wishes which they have publicly and repeatedly
expressed for the triumph of the patriotic
Spaniards ! We are not sorry even that the
prudent moderation observed by Ministers
during the negotiations has been so bitterly as-
sailed by some of their political opponents.
It can have no other effect than to impress
still more strongly upon Foreign Governments,
and particularly upon that of France, the
salutary conviction, that although England has
hitherto abstained from offering an armed opposi-
tion to • the execution of those projects against
which she had previously protested, it is not
because she does not strongly feel and deeply
resent the outrageous violence which is now per-
petrating ou the Continent. The French Go-
vernment, in particular, cannot but perceive that
the temper of this Country is already roused
to the utmost point at which forbearance is prac-
ticably. The slightest insult,—the most tritling

injury inflicted upon, our own immediate interests
or honour,—the very first manifestation of a
disposition upon their part, to diverge from

that course (iniquitous as it is) which we have
so reluctantly consented to tolerate, and their
progress in which we now witness with so much
impatience, they cannot but see must kindle a
fire of uncontrollable indignation throughout
all England, which will burst through all
considerations of mere prudence, and which, when
it has once blazed forth, can only be quenched
by her triumph over those by whom the
evils of war have again been let loose upon
the world. All Europe is now cum ;need
that though we have imposed the restraint of

neutrality upon our arms, it is not because our
dispositions are equally friendly towards both of
the pr4sent Belligerents, or because we are di-
vided in opinion as to the side which is en-
gaged in the support of a just cause. All our
hopes and our prayers are for the success, of

'Spain ; and they know little of human nature
who do not calculate on the probability that the
Spectators of a conflict, who sympathize in every
wound which is inflicted upon one party of the
combatants, (and that party the weaker),are every
moment liable to be hurried by their feelings into
the midst of the struggle.—Mr. WORTLEY'S speech
last night may be considered as a correct expres-
sion of the sentiments of the English people, not
only on the conduct of Ministers, and on the pro-
priety of our oWn foreign policy, but on the conduct
and proceedings of France and of the Continental
Alliance. Mr. WORTLEY, in the Speech with
which he introduced his proposed amend-1
meat to the Address, said, 44 With respect to all
which the lion. Gentleman (Mr. MACDONALD)
had said of the conduct of the Foreign Powers to-
wards Spain, he (Mr. WORTLEY) believed that
there was a perfect agreement throughout this coun-
try. For himself, he felt as strongly and warmly as
the lion. Gent. could do, that the conduct of the
Allied Sovereigns struck at all the principles on
which our own Constitution was founded, and at-
tempted to shut the door to the admission into any
State of any thing like rational liberty. Further,
he would say, that as to the conduct of France,
it seemed to him to be perfectly incomprehensi-
ble. In his opinion the French Government had
manifested a degree of folly, greater than had ever
been exhibited by any other Government on the
face of the earth. He had himself very little doubt
that that folly would meet with its reward; and
that the projects of France would ultimately fail."
Very properly, after the expression of such sell-
timents,Mr.WOßTLEY introduced into his amend-
ment, which approves of the present neutrality
of the country, the assurance to his MAJESTY,
64 that, highly as we estimate the advantages of
peace, particularly at the present moment,we shall
be at all times ready to afford his Majesty our
most zealous and affectionate support in any mea-
sures which his Majesty may find necessary to fid-
Lid the obligations of national faith, to vindicate
the dignity of his Crown, or to maintain the rights
and interests of his people."

The Hon. Company's ship Dorsetshire arrived
off Weymouth on the 25th of April, where the
Purser landed with the dispatches for the India
House, and several box packets for the General
Post-Office.—The Dorsetshire left Bengal on the
11th of January, arrived at St. Helena on the
7th of March, and sailed again on the 11th. She
brings intelligence that the Marquis of HASTINGS
had sailed in the Glasgow frigate on the 9th,
and from a ship that arrived at St. Helena the
evening before the Dorsetshire left, learnt that
he had put into Simon's Bay, at the Cape of
Good Hope.. The following is copied. from .the
Calcutta Government Gaulle of the 2d. of Ja-
nuary :-

"Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, a large assemblage
of the inhabitants of Calcutta attended at the Government
House to accompany the Marquis of HASTINGS to Chandpaut
(Thant.
" The troops, viz. his Majesty's 16th Lancers, the 17th Re-
giment of Foot, the Body Guard, the Calcutta Militia, &c.
formed a street the whole way.
" His Lordship walked to the Ghaut with his hat off, accom-
panied by the Hon. Sir EDWARD PAGET, Sir HENRY Baos-
SETT, the Chief Justice, and the Members of Council. The
Marchioness of HASTINGS and family followed in their car-
riages, anti embarked at the same time with his Lordship in
one of the Government state boats to bileoikveyed to the yacht,
at anchor off the Esplanade. The usuaid'ute was fired from
the ramports of Fort William. The was u very large con-
course of people to witness the embir. *don, and the Marquis
and Marchioness were extremely atreezid at parting."
The Dorsetshirc has on board the Bth Regiment
of Light Dragoons, who are returning borne after
an absence of 27 years, with the warm recollec.
tion of events that shed a lustre over their long
career in India. The following is a list of the
Officers on board :

Lieut. Henry Young, Lieut. T. Morgell, Lieut. .J. D. Fearon,

Captain JOIIN WILLIAMS died on board on the
20th of January, in consequence of a fall from a
considerable height up the rigging, much re-
gretted by his brother Officers, and every one on
board.

MURDER OF MRS. DONATTY.—(DCaI, 28th
April.)—The Marquis Camden, from China, ar-
rived in the Downs this morning, when RUTHVEN
and SMITH, two of the Bow-street Officers, went
and brought on shoro Benjamin Doggett, one of
her seamen, who, by his voluntary confession,
was concerned in the murder of Mrs. DONATTY ;
he appears to be a man about 40 years of age.—
RUTIIVEN set off for London soon after landing,
leaving SMITH in charge of the prisoner, who will
take him by this evening's coach to Bow-street,
where he will be exarnine4.—Doggett had con-
tinued to do duty us a seaman on board the
Marquis of Camden until the Officers took him
out this morning.
