LONDON, SEPTEMBER to, 0103.

A report was circulated yesterday, that Sir SYD•
Net Stu t Tl 4 had made good a landing at Cherbourg
with the Troops under the command of Major Gen.
MOORE, and had succeeded in destroying the Gun.
boats, &c. but that two of the Regiments had been
cut off. We do not believe that the Brigade under
General Moo It E haireven yet embarked, at least we
have received no intimation of the kind from our
intelligent Correspondent at Deal, or any other of
the Ports. It is confidently said, that Lord Kt vrit
, will command the Nival Department of the Expe.
dition ; if so, we may be assured that the Land
Force will consist of more than one Brigade.
A Gottetthrgh Mail arrived this morning. It
brings no Intelligence of importance.

We this morning received LetterA and Papers
from Dill& of the 6th inst. Felix Rourke, one of
the Leaders of ,the Insurreftion, was on shat day
tried and convieted. Redmond, who had shot him.
self on the preceding day, was still alive.

IF all those who urge the Ministers to measures
which it is obvious to every person but themselves
they ,ought to take, are to be considered as their
Enemies, we are certainly amongst that number,
but we will venture to assert that if they had at.
tended to our suggestions, their credit in the Coun.
try would not have been at so low an ebb as it
evidently is. We warned them. to take steps, at
an early period, with respect to ilanower.. We
pressed them to declare War against Holland tome
weeks before it was dune. We have repeatedly
told them that they mu be at War with Spain
sooner or' later, and the sooner the better for the
Country. We know well what has passed' upon
'this occasion, and on the part of Spain the objed
has been only to gain time, and secure her Trade.
The Spanish Minister has talked of Neutrality, and
he has urged as a reason for forbearance, slut the
moment War was declared against Spain, Portugal
would fall. But who is there, except the Mini.
titers, who think that forbearance can be effectual ?
A vigorous Administration would have sent Troops
to the defence of ..eartusa/ at the beginning of the
War, and began hostilities against Spain, unless
the ,Convention of 1796 between that Power and
France had been formally annulled, and effectual
security obtained for the preservation of stria
Neutrality. But the Cabinet has decided upon
War with Spain one day, and Peace the next, and
they have remained in this state of timid indecision
till they have enabled the Merchants of Spain to
bring home to their Ports their valuable trade--till
the Register Ships are arrived in safety, and per.
haps till it is too late to give effectual assistance to
Portugal. We see in this, as indeed we do in
many other of the transactions of the Government,
much more to pity than to condemn. We hope a
fair chance will be given to the Country success.
fully to extricate itself from its difficulties. The
best chance would be that which would he afforded
by the formation of A STRONG ADMINISTRATION'

The state of Ireland still continues to excite the
interest of every person attached to the welfare of
the Empire, and whenever Parliament meets, it is
expeded that the whole stilled will undergo a stein
investigation. There is now no doubt any where
that the Government was tale): by surprizt.—Ac.
counts had been received from all quarters of the
intended Insurrettion, but so totally void of sus.
picion upon this point were the persons entrusted
with the management of Public Affairs, that all in.
formation upon the subjeet was looked upon as pro.
ceeding either from the credulous or disaffeded. It
happens upon this as upon most occasions in which
blame so evidently attaches somewhere, that each
Person who is implicated is endeavouring to shift it
from himself. The LORD LI RtITINANT, Lord
PE LH t 4, General lox, and Mr. MAR SD EN. are all in
their turns the subjels of reproach, and are said in a
great degree to criminate each other, General Fox is
the first person to be sacrificed, and is to be sue.
(=led by Lord CAthemt.T. It happenl4 strangely

enough, that he is the only person whom, upon the
occasion, Mr. ADDINCTON defended, for, upon its
being insinuated in the House of Commons, that
there was possibly some remissness on the part of
the Commander in Chief, Mr. ADDINCTON imme.
diately assured the House that every thi* possible
was done in that quarter, for the Guard was\tioxlleri.
We have a high reaped for General Fox, and we
cannot admit, because he is displaced, that any
blame attaches upon him. If, however, upon in.
vestigation, he should appear to have been negli.
gent, we are sure that that is not the only quarter
on which such an imputation may be fixed.
