1110LIM QUI! DICIRI lIALSUM AUDIAT ?

LOWDON,-JANUARY 5, 2802.

IT will be seen, from the Proceedings in the
II Two Houses of Parliament, that the Adjournment
for the Holidays has not yet taken place to the
period at first expeaed. They meet again on
Thursday sennight, the 14. th inst.—The reason
of these short Adjournments has not been stated,
but the Public may be satisfied of the weight of the
motives of the Minister. That the subject is of
some importance, may be conceived from the deli..
cate manner in which he expresses himself ; hut,
relying upon his judgment and discretion, we shall
not presumptuously pry into his condua, nor wish
to withdraw the veil from circumstances which he
may not deem it necessary to bring before the pub-
lic eye. At the same time we cannot withhold our
tribe of approbation for his wishing to keep it in
his power, by the short Adjournments of Parlia.
merit which he proposes, to resort to that Consti.
tutional Organ of the People for their advice and
support, should such prove necessary, whatever
may be the subjea in question.

THE trial of the Mutineers in custody on
board Vice Admiral,)Sir ANDREW MITCHELL'S
Squadron, which arrived last week at Spithead from
Bantry Day, will take place immediately. The neces.
sary orders have been sent from the Admiralty, and
it was even supposed that the Court Martial might
have been yesterday assembled. That however did
not take place, but the trials were expeeted to corn-
mence this day .--Upon the subjeel of this Mutiny;
and indeed, of Mutiny in general, there cannot be,
and there happily is, but one feeling in the Nation.
The Seamen of the British Navy are a body of men
to whom their Country looks up with confider.ce
and admiration, and the tribute of public gratitude
has been liberally paid to them in the course of the
War recently closed, in a great variety of ways.
Great additions have beer, made to their allowances
out of the Public Purse, and that of liviividuals has
ever been open to soothe the woes of the Widows
and Orphans of those gallant men amongst them
whose lot it was to purchase National Glory by
their blood. Wealth, Patriotism, and Literature,
have amicably contended which should be the first
to do justice to their merits, and to render. homage
to their valour. It cannot, we are convinced, en-
ter into the breasts of Men who have thus been
greatly distinguished by their Country, and who
have, at the same time, so nobly earned the laurels
which they gained, to tarnish all these by ads of
disgraceful insubordination and wanton excess.—lt
is by. DISCIPLINE chiefly that the British Navy
has reached its present high and preeminent repu.
tation, as, without that, superior skill is deprived
••
of its prOper application, and courage degenerates
into fruitless ferocity. It is not our praeiice to anti-
cipate what may be the result of a trial which has not
yet taken plaee, either under a Civil or a Military
Jurisdielion, but the crime of Mutiny is ofso obvi_
ous and positive a nature, that no doubt can be en-
tertained with respeet to its actual existence, and
of the punishment that must await its legal con.-
vielion.

The Mutiny which took place at Bantry Bay, is
aggravated by circumstances which can plead no ex.
tenuation, as the,y strike at the root, not only of
1,4.1 Military 13;,-,..;0;,,, Inn of Om very
Constitution of the Country itself. We are well
assured of the Faa, when we state it, that tie Ships
ordered to be detached from Vice Admiral Mir.
C LL'S Fleet, were to sail with Rear Admiral
CAMPBELL, under Sealed Orders, delivered to.that
Officer, so that it was impossible it should be
known. to any Officer or Man in the detaChed
Squadron, not even to the Commander of it himself,
what was the objeft of its destination. Thus the
Mutiny at Bantry Bay, did not pioceed from any
disinclination to any particular Service, but to any
Service at all—a principle which at once over-
.
throws Discipline, and strikes at the dearest inter-
ests of the Country, and which must ever 1:1e de-
tefininedly resisted, while a drop of loyal and con.
stitutional blood remains to be shed,

We entertain the confident hope and belief, which
►re have already more than once expressed, that
the condea of the Mutineers at Bantry Bay, meets
with the most marked condemnation of the whole
body of the British Seamen, in this belief we arc
more and mare confirmed, arici we trust that the

instance which has thus unhappily been recently
furnished of such gross miscondua, will be the last
blot on the bright efrulgence of British Glory.

THIS morning the Ha:l:burgh kla;1 due on Sun-
day last was received in Town. Its contents have
been chiefly anticipated by the French Papers.

WE yesteyday evening received the French Pa-
pets to the 3oth ult. inclusive, two days later than
those
,that came to hand in the forenoon, and the
•
contents of which were given in our Paper of
yesterday. Their contents, with the exception
of the progress of the Legislative Body.- 'in the
Civil Code, are scarcely worthy of insertion ; in-
deed, they relate principally to events which, we
have already detailed to the Public. Notwithstand-
ing the assertions of many of our daily Prints, it ap-
pears from the French Papers, that ewe were correer.
in our statement, that the First Cons.ul has not yet
departed from Paris. Although the Papers we
have received, do not state the immediate cause of
his delay, yet we are assured, that it has originated
from the machinatianc of a Party, who are violently
incensed against his Government, and are endea-
vouring to throw every kind of impediment against
the plans he has recently proposed.
An article from Predurg of the Bth ult. states,
that PAsswAx.OcLou has failed in an attempt to
penetrate into Wallachia, and has been compelled
to 'retreat to Widditt. The fact is, the Peace be.
tween Great Britain and France has totally destroyed
the expedations of this enterprizing Rebel, who,
no longer supported by the intrigues of France,
has no resource left but in immediate submission.
It is not improbable, however, that he will make
his peace on terms favourable to himself. Such is
the decrepitude of the Turkish Empire, and so tot.
tering the crazy fabric of its Political Government,
that we doubt not, it will sacrifice much to the ad-
vantages of a temporary tranquillity.
La Clef du Cabinet of the 3oth ult. positively
states, that the Minister of the Interior has not
yet set out for Ljons, as several Paris Journals have
falsely represented. On the contrary, he will pre.
side at the Theatre of Arts, at the distribution of
the Prizes conferred on the Students at the Musical

Repertory.
The Tiers Cons. was on the 29th ult. at 53. So

Yesterday Lord I-Lturictssultv gave a grand
dinner to several Members of Administration.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at Lord
HAWKESBURY'S Office, at which several Members
were present:

The Detachment of the G6rds which marched
into Portman Barracks yesterday afternoon, were
received by thousands of spetators with the loudest
and most unbounded acclamations. The lively in-
terest which was manifested by the spectators, had
so strong an Ole& on the minds of many of .our
brave fellows, that they burst into tears. Nothing
could exceed the raptures of 'extasy that followed.
Their friends and relations cro,.vded around them,
and the scene was in every respea, highly glorious
and affefting. The men appeared in perfeft health
and spirits, and seemed greatly delighted with
.the
huzzas which accompanied their triumphant entry
into. their old Barracks. They consisted of upwards
of two hundred of the Third Regiment. They
were met a feire 'miles out of town by the whole
Band of the Regiment, who played before therti
into 'London:

The Ist Battalion of the Sgth Regiment, now at
Madeira, and the 2a Battalion of the same Regiment,
now in England, axe immediately to proceed to

amaica.

It is understood, that it is not now the intention
of Government to reduce the Second Lieutenant-
Colunels and Second Majors to half-pay, as was
at first proposed, but to permit them to die off,
without the vacancies being filled up.
We understand that EVAN NErEAN, Esq. the
Secretary of the Admiralty, has received a very
handsome and pressing invitation from some of the
most respectable inhabitants of Bridport in Dor-
setshire, to offer himself as a Candidate for the re-
Lirece_nta.th,. ;n the next Parlia.
ment. From the respeCtability of Mr. NEPEAN'S
charader, we have no doubt that he will be re-
turned.

Major ELL tor, of the Westminster Light Horse
Volunteers, is the Gentleman who proposes to offer
himself a Candidate to represent the City of West-
minster, at the next General Elution.

By the last advices from Bombay,' we learn the
fatal event of a Duel there, -between Mr. F. and a
Lieut. B. The former was shot through the heart'.
the first fire. The survivor has been sentenced, by,
Sir WILLIAM SEYER, to Botany Bay, for fourteen,
and his second; Capt. R. for seven years.
Captain TURNER,, the Gentleman whom we men-
tioned in a:l4Fmgr Paper to have been taken in a
dying, state to tkeyo,rkhonsc, in Shoe lane, expired
there about ten o'clOck on Saturday morning.
In the Dukedoni of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, an
Institution has been formed, by order of the Duke,
for the instruftion of future Schoolmasters. Of se-.
eral plans proposed for this purpose, the preference
was given to that of Pastor F. L. REINHOLD, of
Wolciegt ; and a commission given him to establish
the Sfnut)l at Michaelmas t 801, in his place of re.,
sidence, himself being appointed DireCior thereof.
At the public audience. of the Minister.of War a
few hays ago 'at Paris, an (Ace: shot himself thro'
