SOLEM QUIS FALSL'M AUDEAT ?

LONDON.

EDNESD4Y, JANUARY 31, 1810.

, "We this morning received French and Dutch

Papers, the former to the 23d, and the latter to the
27th inst. It does not appear that BUONAPARTE
„has set out for Spain ; but 'the French Papers give
the most grossly exaggerated accounts of the num-
ber, of French troops that are marching to that

country.
The unfortunate King of, Swaney has arrived a
• Hatnburgh.

We have very little doubt that the next Spanish
rapers which we receive will give us a very differ-
ent account of the Expedition of General MIL-
HAUD, from that which warn given in the last Mani-
,,urs_ it is repregented as having cleared the coun-
try to the left, of the banditti with which it was in-
fested, and we- are at the same time told that the
appearance of his troops excited universAl admira-
tion, and that their condu& called fur the benedic-
tions of the inhabitants. The very great import-
ance K hid) is attached to this success of General
MILIIAUD, SheWS, that though the French aanally
occupied the City of Madrid, they were not in pos-
session of the surrounding country; and that where-
ever they ,have not a large military force to keep the
people in awe, the inhabitants are constantly in arms
against the French. It very probable that MIL-
HAUD, with a considerable corps of cavalry and in-
fantry, might traverse the country, and overthrow
any small bands of Patriots that be might meet ;
but be acquired np pernaanent possession ; and the
French Papers themselves state one fact, which proves
that General MILHAVD himself was aware that the
Spaniards,would ripe again the moment he depart,
ed., It appears Irons the French official aecount,
than MILHAWD, in his progiess, took possession of
several considerable magazines belonging tp the
b..lt4jtti, and dispersed the rebel Junta of Alolina4

in Arragon. Now, the appoihtment of !antes,
and the colleaion of considerable magazines, by no
means accords with what we.have been told in the
French Papers, that.
„the inhabitants are in general
well disposed to King jOSSPH, and that it is only a
few robbers and fanatics that castraa the public
peace. But we find that General MILHAUD was
obliged to destroy these considerable magazines
a measure to which be would never have had re-
course, if be had merely been employed in scouring
the country of a few banditti. The French may
boast of their viaories, but they must at the same
time 'acknowledge, that the kingdoms of Castile
and Arragon, which they boasted of having can-
quered, are up in arms against them.

The Opposition Writers, who have been so anxi-
ous that Parliament should enter into a❑ Inquiry
into the Expedition to Walcheren, seem now deter-
mined to save our Representatives the trouble of the
Investigation, by kindly taking all the trouble upon
themselves ; aud, as. in their view_of the subject,
facts are not very important, they with great pro-
priety begin to discuss the question before they are
in possession of the Documents. We do not in-
tend to follow their-example, but we cannot pass
over in silence an, observation which appeared in a
Paper of this morning. In speaking of that Expe-
dition, it states, that when our force arrived it found
every thing in the same situation that it had been
months before7—that no preparations had been made
for defence—that no treason had betrayed our
Councils—and that, in faBc, our attack was quite
unexpected. ,Surely the Writer. of the article al-
luded to must have forgotten what appeared on the
trial (if it may be so,called) of General Morr.NET,
where it appeared, that, so early as April, he was
apprized, by the French Minister at War, of the
probability of an attack, and ordered to be pre-
pared for it. We do not mean to insinuate that our
Councils were betrayed, but when BUONAPARTR knew
that an Expedition was preparing in this country, he
naturally supposed that itwould belsent to that point
where it was likely to do him most mischief, and he
therefore directed his attention to Flusl)ing and
Ant werp.

The Dugay Truin French privateer;of 16 glans ,
is taken by the Narcissus frigate, and arrived ..at
Scilly... She had ell-A:wed the Emulation, TROMP..
SON, and the Maria, PRCK, from Heligoland for
Pool. . The former is re-taken by the Narcissus, and
arrived at Scilly.
The private ship Porcher, bound from Calcutta,
whence she sailed on the t 1 th of September, is ar•
rived in Ireland, and may be expeEted daily in an
English port. She
,s filed from St. HAena with
the lk illiani, Which arrived from Madras ten 'days
ego.

We are enabled, from private but undoubted au-
. thority, to contradict the statement which appeared
in several Papers, that the Officers of the two batta-
lions eugaged in the unfortunate contest near Serin-
aapatam, in August last, were killed :—Captain
'Avon 111AcKiNTostr, of the 'Bth Native Infantry,
was wounded and taken ;—Lieut. BEST, from an
epileptic fit, died soon afer he arrived at Seringapa-
tarn 3—but every other European Officer of the de-
tachment, viz. 14 of the Bth, and 6 of the tsth Re-
giment, arrived in safety in the Fort of Seringa-
patam.

; A report was circulated yesterday, upon the au,
thority of the Captain of a vessel from Rochelle,
which left that place on the 19th instant, ,that BUG-
NAPARTE had set off for Spain ; and that previously
to his departure, his intended bride, a Russian
Princess, had arrived at Paris ; but the Paris Papers
to the t Bth, which we have already noticed, men-
tion nothing of either of these circumstances, nor
has there been time for the arrival of a Russian
Princess at Paris.
On the 28th inst. Mr. STEWART set sail from Fal-
mouth for Lisbon, to.succeed Mr. VILLERS, as Am-
bassador at that Court. The Packet took its departure
at the same time.
Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of YORK entertained- a large party with an
elegant dinner, at their house iii the Stable Yard,
St. James's.
Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of CAM-
BRIDGE gave a grand dinner to a large party of Mili-,
tart' Gentlemen, at his house in Berkeley-square.
The American frigate John Adams, has arrived at
Amsterdam; she is expeded in the British Channel
in a few days, on her return to America, when she
will take on board dispatches from Mr. PINKNEY to
the American Government.
Accounts were yesterday received at the Admi-
ralty,. that Lord BEAUCLERK, on reconnoitring
Cherbourg a day or two ago, found that one of the
largest frigate; had made its escape; his Lordship
supposes it lb have got out on the t3th instant.
A report was yesterday received by an American
vessel, that Congress had adjourned to the 4th of
January, without coming to any decision on the
measures proposed as substitutes fur the Non-Inter-
course Act.

The late Lord MoNsoN's stud, which was sold by
auction a few days ago (comprising 35 horses of
various descriptions), fetched nearly, including the
duty, 40001. Scud and Easy were bought for Lady
MONSoN, at the late sale at Burton House. easy
for 650 guineas; Scud for 460. Since which her
Ladyship has made a present ot•Scud to her brother,
Lord POLLINGTON.

A pugilistic contest took place near We*ninster
Abbey, 'ort Monday, between two females, who had
quarrelled about a young man, whose affee'ions they
both claimed. After pulling each 'other's caps and
hair off, 210 fighting for some time.,one of them
gained a complete victory, aril w s.cartied off in
triumph by her lover.
