'Lig the Arms AB, and for repealing t l.e Ttp.urrection
Ad, afforded a strong proof of a desire to conciliate tile
People of Ireland ; they were so considered by, all
the Irish -Members in the Iffmse Common,, nt.d
there is every reason to believe that they were so
felt by.the People of Ireland.

The last charge it, that cr our ague-stricken Mi •
" nisters, are one moment convulsing the country in
" the paroxysm of !heir pestilence; and in the next
" betraying all, -that prostraliun of strength and
" energy, the inseparable cousequeuce or rash and
extreme Councils."

To this accusation we must decline attenipting to
git,;e an answer, for, to confess the truth, it is infi-
nitely too snblitnc tor our comprehension.

On Thursday evening, his MAJESTY, and Prin-

CeSSeS ELIZARETH and SOPHIA, walked on Windsor
Terrace, ,till near nine o'clock. His MAJESTY
was accompanied by Lords ST. HELEN'S, B4OS'ION,
UXBRIHGIi, and DARTMOUTH ; the Bishop of
CHESTER ; Ladies COLLIER and BOSTON ; generals
CARTWItIGHT and GARTH ; and Col. DEsnkow
whilst the bands of the Royal Horse guards (Blues)
and the &al-14d Militia played many martial and
pleasing tunes.
Yesterday morning, his MAJESTY, the Duke of
CAmmt MGR, the Princess AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, ac-
compMied by. Lord ST. HELENS Generals GARTH
.and CARTWRIGHT, Lldy COLi.YER, and Colon,: s
TAYLOR, and DEsukow, took an airing in Windsor
Great Palk, till twelve o'clock: •

The Princess of WA Liis, preceded by-an out-rider,
drove through several of the firiheivid streets of the
metropolis ?ststetday afiernoon, attended .by a .Lady
in a phaeton, drawn 'by four bays, with tvi, o postil-

Thursday morning nine transports, with the 20th,
761 h, and 92d regiments on board, sailed from 'Har-
wich, with a fair wind, fur the Downs. Three
transports rem yin for the'porpose, it is said,. to take

The East India Papers jnst received contain some
interesting information relative to the progress of
the petty warfare lately waged in that quarter by
MERE 'KU AN, a Chieftain of considerable enter-
prize, hut whose career promises to he of very short
'duration. It is stated in a Supplement to the Ben.
gal Mirror, on the. authority of letters from Hydra-
bad, that the force of this Chieftain on the Nub-
buddah has been defeated in an aCtion with the.
troops of the Rajah of I3R RA R, and pursued'bevond
Gabulpere, in Gurrah IVlundelah. MEetS KHAN
liinuself, it is added, was wounded in an engage-
ment. This intelligence, if correct, is calculated to
impress a very contemptuous opinion of the strength
and efficacy of the force collected by the Mahratta
Chieftain. Ever since Sir ARTHU It WELLESLEY'S
campaign in the Deccan, the Bltoonslah has been
considered' as the weakest military power in Hin-
duostaq. Not two years ago the inroads of the
-bandS of Pendaries from the Nebbuddalt was suffi-
cient to throw the citypf Nagpere itself into con-
Merit:lt •

Accounts front tire Deccan state, that ,Col."CcpsE
had joined the detachment of Janina, and ty.hib-4 on
in the direaion of Otnrattee, thirty miles south of
Elichpoor, where the army was to assemble, and
where a powerful reinforcement was expelled' ti-9m
Hydrabad. By crossing the Nerbudidall at Gurrah
Mundebah, MEER KHAN bad placed himself nearer
to the frontier of Bundlecund. Inttelligence, there-
fore, of the progress of the campaign►, may shortly
be expelled from that side.
' A detachment of his Majesty's 14th Foot, com-
manded by Lieutenant RAWLINS, with a detach-
ment of European .artillery. tinder Captain SHAW,
bad embarked on board the City of London, des-
tined - to reinforce the garrison of Bencoolen, and
were expected to sail the latter end of December
last.

Lord MINT° was not expe6ted to leave Madras
before the latter end of February. The trial of Col.
'JOHN BELL, 'of the Artillery, was conclbded, but
the sentence had not then been published; nor was
It expeded to be made' known until the whole of
the trials should be terminated, Several important
changes had taken place in the commands of the se-
veral great stations of the army, and a number of
'Officers of Native Regiments had been removed
-front their original corps to others.
By the last advices from Brazil we are informed,
that the Prince Regent has given to the public a
most extraorinary proof that the late Minister Au-
tine de Aranio de Azevedo is not the traitor which
he is represented to be in this country. The ac-
count states, that on the 17t h of Atirch last, the
Prince, with the greatest regard and atfecaion, con-
ferred on Antino de Aranio de Azevedo the honour
of Grand Cruz of the Order of Christ, for all his
most faithful and-critical services rendered to the
PliliCe at Lisbon.

A vessel is arrived at Guernsey, from a port on
the Coast of France. She made her escape on Moo-
day last, having, about half a cargo of Wheat on
board. She was fired upon from the fort, but was
at too grt•at a distance to be injured or brought to,
and consequently proceeded on her voyage.

We have received some more le/ters from Por-
tugal. The following extract from a letter writ-
ten by an Officer in our army,l adds
,some par-
ticulars to the intelligence we communicated yes- •
terday.

CELEBICO, Jana 13.—r still remain at head
quarters ; 1 am of opiniori that his Lordship will
not move or commence operations immediately.--
The French, to the number of 6000, have crossed
the Aguida, and are investing Ciudad Rodrigo.
Our adviinced corps, under General Craufurd, is
about three leagues in front of Almeida, which
town, with, almost every / village in the neigh-
bourhood, as Penhel, Guarda, &c. are occupied by
the British. Our situation is certainly a very strong
one, and I expeet, but it is only conjecture, that the
French Will not..meet us without a greatly striderior
force, and of course a certainty of Su, cess. Should
that prove the case, .our retreat will be to Lisbon
and Peniche, where our engineers are now throwing
up lines to guard against all evils, and depots of.
provisions are forming.
In the course of .the present week four thousand
lobsters, unfit for use, were thrown overboard a
smack, intended for the London market. •
