SOLLM QUID ...rlClitt:.l•AL.3ll6l AUDEAT ?

LONDON,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1812.

Yesterday afternoon two 'Mholt Mails arrived.
They bring the affliaing intelligence of the loss of
the St. George and the Defence, and of their crews,
with the exception of 18 men. All the Officers
perished. We must "refer our readers to the Mails
for the particulars of this most calamitous event.
The Ha►nburgh Papers brought by these Mails con-
tain some more absurd accounts respelling the ill
treatment of foreign soldiers in the British service.
It is stated that above 130 men have recently been
landed on the Continent from Heligoland, who
had been diimissed without any support, be-
cause they were unfit for service. BUONAPARTE, by
whose orders these staiertient*-are made, knows per-
fectly well that there is not the slightest foundation
for them , but he hopes, by the propagation of these
falsehoods, to deter the unfortunate foreigners whom
he has forced into his service from deserting to us.
The real fact is, that the persons who have been
recently landed upon the Continent, and whom he
desClibes as dismissed soldiers, are men who have
been sent out of this country, under the Alien Act,
for their improper conduit.

Letters were received by the Anholt Mails which
arrived yesterday from Petersburgh, dated the 21st
ult. They all concur in stating, 'bat the Prelimina-
ries of Pe-ce weresigned between Russia and Turkey.
They state this important event io hare taken
place on the 215th of November (Old Style), after a
very decisive battle had been 10w2.11t, in which the
Turkish army was completely surrounded by the
Russians. The Turks, dismayed and confounded,
are said to have thrown doWn their arms, - and sur-
rendered themselves prisoners of war. The
Turkish Army amounted,
.according to the offi-
cial statement of the Russian General KuTu-
sow, to 35,000 men. The Russians are not only
described to have become complete masters of the
field on this occasion, but their triumph is stated to
have been made more brilliant by obtaining posses-
sion of fifty-six pieces of cannon, besides the ma-
gazines and baggage !

The annunciation of this very decisive vi&ory
was made in St. Petersburg!' on the Bth Dec. (Old
Style), and the particulars were published in a Ga-
zette Extraordinary on the following day. This vic-
tory is stated to have been immedia►ely followed
by the signing of preliminaries of a peace, whit!'
were afterwards ratified and confirmed. Such was
the immediate of ea of thiS joyous news in the Rus-
sian capital, that the Exchange on London again
most rapidly advanced from I 7d. to 20/(l.—a-rate to
which it has not advanced at any period s►nce the
signing of the far-famed Treaty of Tilsit.

We understar.d that our Government has receiv-
ed-an official account of this most desirable event.
The accounts from Sweden still continue to be of
a most pacific nature. It is stated, that the French
Charge d'Aflaires was on the point of leaving Stock-
holm.

This morning we received Dublin Papers. The
Patriot of Monday contains the following para-

graph :

The three following persons JOHN KEEGAN,
OWEN ADAMS, 21114 THOMAS QUARTEILMASS, have.
we understand been committed to the jail of Kil-
mainhana, charged with havin& traitorously and felo-
niously conspired against the• King and GOvernment.
KEEGAN andADAms were brought up this day to the
Head Office of Police, where they underwent an ex-
amination before the Magistrates of that office.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER yesterday
brought forward, in The House of Commons, his
Resolutions respecting the arrangement of the
Households of his MAJESTY and the PRINCE RE.
GENT. For the details of the plan, we must refer
our Readers to the Speech of the Right Hon. Gan-
ileman ; and we are sure they will perceive, with
pleasure, that while it establishes a Court of due
splendour for his ROYAL HIWINESS, it makes every
necessary provision for the comfort of his MAJESTY
in his present afflicting situation.—The Resolutions
proposed were Fgreed to.

There is an invidious allusion to a Gentleman in
office, in the Morning Chronicle of this day, which
deseivei some notice. It is intimated, in the article
in question, that this Gentleman, who is alluded
to under a pitiful pun, employs his pen at
present in opposition to the Irish Catholics.—
That Gentleman, we
.believe, cannot have amok lei-

sure for such employment; and we venture to assent,
that the insinuation is utterly false. We have al-
ways understood him to have been rather favourable
to the Catholic Claims. We -are, at least, confi-
dent, that if he were inclined to oppose them, he
would do it in a manner more becoming his situation.
I\othing►ean be more illiberal than such covert at-
tacks as we have no•.v noticed, but it is politic to
resort to them, (or open charges fir. easily grappled
with and refuted.

It is to be hoped, if the French General SIMON
should be conviacd of traitorous pra6tices, that he
will be made a signal example, fur we certainly have
too many Foreigners among us who are agents for
BUONAPARTE, and would exert all, possible endea-
vours to accomplish his wishes, in the overthrow of
our Constitution. But Government, we are happy
to say, are fully aware of the vast number of
these lurking emissaties of our inveterate foe,
and are determined to employ the most aetive
means to detect all dangerous characters, and
rid the Kingdom of them.— Many of these
wretches have been sent away, and we may see,
by the tone of Foreign Journals, that the French
Ruler is• very angry with the British Government
for their vigilance on this subjeft, and has therefore
ordered the newspapers on the Continent to vent
the most bitter complaints against it for having, as
they allege, discharged Foreigners who have been
engaged in the service of this country, and landed
them on the Continent with great cruelty, in the
most necessitous condition. It may have hap-
pened that some •of the Foreigners thus sent
away have been engaged in the British ser-
vice, but our Rulers have, no doubt, had full rea-
son for dismissing them. A Gentleman who re-
cently came from the Continent, and on whose
judgment and candour we rely, assures us that we
have more to fear from foreigners who affect a mi-
litary chrraCler, or who assume titles, than from
those who appear as Valets, &c. &c. as the latter
have chiefly a subsistence in view, which they
can get more conveni,nrly in thin country than
abroid, but ;ha, the former are men who are either
in the actual employment of the enemy, or prac-
tise those arts, arid endeavour to avad themselves of
that know ledge which may render them acceptable
to him on their return.

-We are sorry to sate that a respectable Banker in
he City this morning put an end to his existence.

The Duke of YORK, transa&ed business yesterday
with the PiIINCE. REGECT.

Yesterday the Marquis WELLESLEY had a very
long audience of the PRINCE REGENT.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has
given the 79th Regiment, v icint by the death of
Sir JrA".4IS CRAIG, K. B. to Sir SAMUEL AUCHMUTY,
and Sir SAMUEL'S Regiment (the toad), to the Ho-
noutable Major General Lo wBY COLE, of the 27th
foot. The Government of Blackness, which Sir
J. CRAIG held, has been given to Lieut.-General
RULANL HILL.

JOHN NPMAHON, Esq. was on Wednesday List
proposed io the Electors of Aldborough, in Suabik,
by CHARLES FOX CHAMPION CRESPICINI, Esq. and
unanimously elected Member for that Borough.

There are accounts from France to the 6th instant,
which state that reinforcements have been lately
sent into Spain, consistng chiefly of Conscripts.
Letters from Newfoundland stale, that the Mi-
nerva frigate had been struck by lightning, which
shattered the fore-topmast, top-gallant, and royal
mast, struck a man overboard from the main-topsail
yard, upset the officer of he watch and two seamen,
and killed a sheep on deck.

Letters were received yesterday from Virginia,
which state trade to be exceedingly dull there, and
the warehouses full of goods, there being no vent fur
them. The letters from Virginia further observe,
that it is true that the French Minister has given in a
long list of goods which may be imported from the
United States to France; but that the duties are so

heavy, that no profits would arise from sending them.
Thus the French open their doors with one hand,
and shut them with the other.

Six Frenchmen, confined on board the Crown
prison-ship, at Portsmouth, contrived to make their
escape on Sunday evening last, taking with them
the jolly-boat, with four oars and two sills.
Monday 'morning, about eight o'clock, 131 Gen-
tlemen, Under Graduates of Cambridge University,
(the largest number ever remembered,) entered the
Senate House, for the purpose of undergoing the
examinations fur the Degree of Bachelor of Arts.—
The examination continues five Ilys, and the De-
grees will be conferred on Saturday next. The
contest for Senior Wrangler (or first man in the
year) will lay between JuItDAN, of Trinity, and
NEALE, of St. John's.

Signora GRASSINI, it is said, after having impru-
dently lost about 15031. per annum, which she had
chiefly realized in this country,- has been obliged to
resume her profession, and is now engaged at the
Opera in Paris. It is said also, that she has been
accidentally deprived of an e) e.
The antients personified the Deity who presided
over the fortunate destinies of mankind as a female.
It is a singular circumstance that distinguishes the
Lottery to be drawn next Tuesday, that a female
distributes Tickets, and shares of Tickets, to those
who wish, by the unparalleled beneficial Scheme of
the present Lottery, to acquire wealth and inde-
pendence. Lady BRANSCOMB, No. 1, Holborn Bats,
the corner of Middle-row, and 250, St. Margaret's
Hill, Borough, is the person to whom we allude,
and we acknowledge that her name alone is suffi-
cient to procure the patronage of all classes of per-
sons who wish to share in the advantages of the pre-
sent Lottery.

Hilary Term commences next week, but the in-
teresting Term of Hilarity, begins at Nine o'clock
oN Tuesday Morning next, when the Giani Wheel
of Fortune will open and dispense i 20,0001, in va-
ried Capitals, anal Prizes to Adventuters in the.pre-
sent State Lottery ; but as the Drawing begins so
early in the Morning, no Tickets or Shares can be
bought after next Monday..
