Whatever may be the sacrifices which appear on
the lace of the accommodation with Montevideo,
the articles of which are now published, the Go-
vernment has felt it to be its duty to spare no pule.s
to-promote the highest interests of the State, namely,
its integrity arid the cessation of the calamities of an
intestine war.

Even though history did not present so rnapy ex-
amples of the fatal effet-ts which have resulted to
empires from foreign interference in domestic dis-
putes, our contemporaries have received a lesson,—
a lesSon as terrible as recent, in the calamities of the
reigning family of Spain, which opened the gates of
the kingdom to a foreign power, with whom that
kingdom has eter since been engaged in continual
combat.

- Neither honour nor the love of our country, the
tibjeal of the vows and of the sacrifices of her chil-
dren, would justify us in making that country the
victim of resentments which were Lather owing -to
dYersity of opinion, than to a real contrariety of prin-
ciples. 'Without bedewing our soil with our own
blood, the Government -flatters itself that it will
succeed in accomplishing the great work of securing
the unity of the country, and concentrating all its
resources, in order that they may at the same time
serve as a bulwark against the ambition of external
enemies, and an impenetrable safeguatd of the civil
liberty and personal security of its citizens.
The people, who have placed their confidence in
the Government, may rest assured that this Govern-
ment, their own workmanship, has adopted the
above measure, after serious and deep meditation,
as the best calculated for putting the finishing hand
to the grcit work which they have entrusted to it.
'hatever may be the suggestions of some men,
whom selfish interest or merited disappointment
may induce to impugn this measure, thus abusing
that security which begins to brighten upon us, we
flatter ourselves that it will receive its justification
from time, and from the well-disposed of all classes.

Inhabitants and fellow•citizens of the Eastern
,quarter ! the country is indebted to you tor` days of
,glory, which have added to its honour. Sacrifices
of every kind, and a constancy superior to every
ttial,-will.form your perpetual'eulogy. The coun-
try rtquires, at this moment, the sacrifice of yOur
wi,lies; and thciugh your native zeal to serve it,
displayed in struggling with all the rigours of war,
may appear to have been thwarted; yet it desires
you to economise that blood which is so precious to
it, in order that your exertions, called forth at a con-
venient lesson, may decide its future fate.

SULENI QUIS DICiR& I'ALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,

THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1812.

We are still unable to communicate to our Read
-
6 s any authentic intelligence respeling the fate of
Valencia ; but it is stated, on the authority of letters
from Cadiz, that it had not surrendered on the Ist
of January: If, however, it be true, that BLAKBS
army has been completely defeated, it is impossible
that the City can hold out long.
We have, given some extraas from Cadiz Papers
which we received this morning. They state that
the Catalonians are still aaive, and that they have
made 'another incursion into France.

The Pomone French frigate bac certainly been
taken by the. Naive, Capt. GORDON. The latter
lost his leg, bgt is-doing well. The anion was most
severe. Pomone 44, AElive 38.

The Case of the KING-V. THOMAS KIRWAN, one
oldie persons charged with being a Catholic Delegate,'
came or; in the Court of king's. Bench, Dublin, on
the 27th, Mr. BURROWAS, le:Aing Counsel for the
getenattnt, objeaed to the male in which the Jury

wac formed, An investigation immediately took
place, of which we have not room to detail the
particulars. The Court decided—against the chal-
lenge made by the defendant.

The Morning Chronicle is in great alarm and in-
dignation, lest the supply of stores to our gallant
Army in Portugal should be interrupted by the two
French frigates which are said to be at sea. The
Morning Chronicle's anxiety for our Army in Portu-
gal is new and meritorious ; but this, like all its
other prophetic bodings, is utterly unfounded,
and abundantly ridiculous.. The facts. stated by the
Chronicle, and the conclusion which it draws from
the faits, are as follow:—The schooner Maria, from
Lisbon to Portsmouth, speaks the sloop Friendship,
from Jersey to Madeira, all well—no enemy seen—
no ship captured ; ergo, the French are in posses-
sion of the sel, over which these ships were sailing;
a convoy of 120 sail is seen, in lat. 45. all standing
to the eastward with a press of sail; ergo, these
120 ships were only part of a convoy (a good large
convoy it must have been originally) : they were
all together standing the same way ; ergo, they
were dispersed : they were seen on the 15th inst.
steering eastward, ergo, they were pursued by two
frigates which were ,een on the 16th steering to
the westward. Two frigates are at sea ; ergo, they
are French ; and the convoy is observed steering a
course towards England ; ergo, they were outward
bound.

These are the statements .and reasonings upon
which the Morning Chronicle expects that there will
be direst Addresses to the PRINCE REGENT to re-
move Mr. YORKE and his Colleagues from office.
Undoubtedly, we admit, that any man in the coun-
try who can understand the naulical logic of the
Chronicle, may be expelled to sign such an Aa-
dress, which we suppose will be drawn up by the
acute author of the present paragraph, and will, there-
fore, probably, be somewhat in this style : May it
please your Royal Highness, the French have had 40
sail of the line and 100 frigates,'&c. dispersed in va-
rious poris from the Texel to Trieste, which have
been blockaded by his Majesty's ships for
two years with complete success. Two fri.
gates are supposed to have escaped, in the long
and stormy nights of January, and they ate
almost immediately after seen and chaced by
several of his Majesty's frigates,. and of which there
are no less than eight or ten watching the bay in
which the French ate said to be. We entertain the
liveliest confidence, that nothing but the most extra-
ordinary good luck or some unforeseen accident, can
enable the Enemy to escape from our adive and
cruizers, and therefore we think it right to
presume,. before-hand, that they will escape, and if
they do, that it can only be through the fault of the
Admiralty ;. and if they do not, it will not be through
the merit of the Admiralty; and whether these two
frigates be overtaken or not, and before we know any
thing on the..subjea, we entreat your Royal Hig-
hness to make haste to dismiss your present Board of
Admiraliy, for if you pause, you may' perhaps. un-
fortunately find that they are no more to blame in
this instance than they have been in any other.
