SULEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM ALIDEAT ?

LONDON,

SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1810.

Yesterday the Alllite upon Mr. GRATTAN'S Mo-
tion, respecting the Homanseatliolics of Ireland, was
resumed in the House of Commons, and continued
till near four o'clock this morning, when it was again

adjourned till Friday next. In the course of the
dcoate LUraCtiSTLEREAGH contradicted, in the most
distil-1d terms, the assertion so often and so coufi-

dently made, that, at the time of the Union, Go.
verninent had entered into any engagement with the
Catholics, to comply with their claims, in order• to
obtain their concurrence in that measure.

We this , morning received Letters and Papers
from Barbadoes to the Ist ult. from which we have
made some-extracts.. It appears that a general ex-
pectation prevailed in the West Indies, that the

Toulon fleet would pay a visit to that quarter.. We
know, however, that the vigilance of our com-
manders in the. Medic rraneau this etfectually pre-
vented the French horn carrying any such plan into
.execution, if it was realiy in their contemplation.

Some private accounts have been received from
Halifax, in Nova Scotia, which state, 'that some

events of'a very unpleasant nature 'Have occurred in
Canada. Emissaries from BVONkkARTE have been, it
issaid, very actively,and in some instances successfully
employed in that Province, among the Frenchlnileni-
tants, and a plan was attually forrned to surprise Q.ae-
ec. The plot, however,was detected, and several per-
sons were taken into custody, among w Loin we are
sorry to find mentioned sutm persons 'of consider-
able rank in the Pruviuce. It'is added, teat in con-

sequence of this discovery every proper precaution
had been taken, anti that tranqunity had been per-

feetly restoreu.

Such is the account given in private letters, which
is so circumstantial, dm we Iwo?: not Ilthu to duubt
it. At the same time we think it right to' add, that
Quvetnment hive not rvceived any such intelligence,
audit is to be presutm:ci that the earliest intelligence
•
of "he occurrence of an event of such importance
would have been immediately transmitted home of-
ficially.

Her Royal Highness the Princess AMELIA had
not experienced any material change yesterd.7.
General FERGUSON, who so much distinguished
himself during the first campaign in Portugal, is
going out to Cadiz, as second in command to Ge-
neral GRAHAM.

One of the latest American Papbrs which we re-
ceived yesterday contains the following inielligence :
" When the Spanish Minister presented his creden-
tials to tie Government of the United States, and
was iejeeted with a full knowledge that he was
authorized to offer Eight Millions of Dollars as
compensation for. spoliations committed by Spanish
ships under French lqfiuence on American Corn-
merce, •and also to settle the definitive boundaries
of Louisiana, the dispute; respecting which _had
once before nearly involved us in a war with
Spain, the people %ere astonished that such
proposals should be spurned in a coniemptuons
manner. Eight millions of dollars in our " Ex-
hausted Treasury" would have been a pretty thing.—
But our wisellulers thought otherwise. What will
the people now say, when they find that the Spanish
Government of Mexico, which adjoins Louisiana,
• would not only have cordially joined to fulfil this
'Amicable arrangement in its fullest extent, but that
.noW, considering the rejection as a hostile ad, they
a-e putting their frontiers in a state of defence.
Should we have a Spanish war on •the heels of
our other national calaMities, great will be the re-'
sponsib.lity .of those who have invited such
a case what would become of Louisiana, for which
we have paid Fitteen Millions ? These things are of
a.nature to be trifled with."—Freeman's
Journal.
