LONDON,

SATURDAY, DFCEMBER g, 1 gOi.

ADMIRAL CORNWALLIS anchored in Torbay on
Thursday, with ten Sail of the Line in company,
the wind at W. anti S. W. As, however, it has
appeared to hang to the eastward the two last
dap, we have no doubt that he has again sailed to
resume his station off Brest.

The French Flotilla, on Thursday, outside MU.
logne,. consisted ,of about sixty Sail of Prams,
Loggers, Brigs, and other nondescript claws of
floating.bodies, which may do well enough to
amuse the Slaves of the Usurper, in Boulogne
Harbour, but which will never sec the Coast of
England, except towed at the stern of sotne of our
Cruizers.

The Dispatches received by the Spart;ate, from
Rear-Admiral COCHR AN E, leave no doubt of Mr.
FR FR E having quitted Madrid on the 14. th
It seems he demanded his Passports on the.zoth,- and
intended to leave that City on the: t tth, as we
long ago stated ; but when this intention became
publicly known, the general dissatisfaCtion that
prevailed among the People induced the PRINCE. of
PE AC E to make new overtures to our Minister,
which, we have reason to believe, would have
proved satisfa&oty to our Court, when a second
Ambassador arrived from Paris, which entirety up.'
set every thing that the Court of Spain had acceded
to. The poor Spaniards had no choice between go.,
ing to War with England, and receiving' a French
Army to 'overturn their Goveritment. Thus has
the scourge of Europe succeeded in, involving ants-
tiler Nation in the calamities of War, and, what is
still WAlie, in the misery and disgrace which never
fail to attend the ,steps Of a French connexion.
The Opposition Writers see more distressed and
more angry than ever at not being able to discover
the nature of the Dispatches received last from
Spain.' The Nation must mid will be satisfied, nvbe.
ther Peace or {Yes is lobe oar fate ! Now, the Writer
when; he svcote, this sentence,. had certainly worked
himself up into the idea that his Paper _WOG the
sole Anil %e'nuine organ through which the send.
ments of the Nation were publicly declared. Does
hereally imagine that. Ministers are bound to lay
befoO,hboi that is 'the Nathoz, the tenor of their
dispatches s'• If his Patron may be wanting in
discretion, we are very happy in knowing that
His Majesty's,..present iliaisters are not so ;
an(l though:it is. out profession to tell all we know,
yet we applaud the maxim, as applied to Mini.
" Nester to tell more than is necessary to he

RWS,
known.'•

The recent symptoms of disobedience which have
been sliewn by the Government of Holland' to the
comtmods of BuNm,AuTi, will, we have no doubt,
accelerate the change in the Constitution of that,
devoted Country which. he had long meditated.
Indeed' we' arc inclined .to
.think that the spirit
of Independence which the. Legislative Body
has lately manifested, arose froin a conviaion
that their political existence was drawing tá a
close, rather than from any hope of betnatting
their Country by resisting the oppressive capricious
tyranny of their Fiend% Rulers.' It is stated, on
the authority of private letters, that the Dutch
Government have, lately published an Order, that
in affairs purely commercial no attention should
be paid to any regulations not immediately pro.
ceeding from the Batavian Government ; , de,
elating,. at the same time, that in every thing
that concerned the military arrangements for the
defence of the Country, they were willing to.adopt
Such measures as the French Government should
recommend.—lf an Order in such terms has actually
been issued, it can only ohm_ the, feelings and sen.
timents of all ranks of re Tie
,in that Country, but
Can be of no avail against the Military Despotism
under which
,they suffer.
