Day for 'cc:eking the Redort of the -Comatio ee of

0 the questiOn for agreeing to the third resolu-
-

Lord HOLLAND rose, in pursuance to his motion
of I.)st night, to Anove Again' the mpenduhnt he 11,4 d
submitted to the-Commiitee. On this occasion he

, . .
would not trouble their LordAril s vv ith any observa-
tions, as the-proceeding would be merely pro forma,
and f I the purpose. of enabling biro
.regularly to re
cord Ins opinion, arid to ewer his pi °test on the

-view to the scope and ohjeet ,ot his - amend-
ment, that certain ;Ads should be read; which
were those of Henry VIII. Mary I. and Charles
IL referred to in his Lordsni:'s speech of last
night.
The titles of those A&s being read,
The Noble Loid moved his amendment on the 3d
'Resolution ; the prominent feature in which was, to.
Request his: Royal Highness the Pritwe ot. Wales to
take upon him thoadministration of the Govern-
mew,
,bUt to abstain treat all acts of royally; sae

Uu the question being put— . . •
-Lord EttsK IN E rose .9‘.1 obsered, that the de-
gree of inhspostaron under vv knelt he still laboured,
.Would prevedt him from troubling \their Lordships
at any length .; still he felt tie_ tuagnitode rind im-
penance. of the subject so , great, he could wit .
avoid saying a . few words upon it. 'What struck
him' must forcibly on the, occasion was,- that in or
der to.ineetsucr exigeocies• in "mitre, and to avert
. the numerous attendant evils, some general rule
, eliould be laid down by Parliament, .er. Seine Bill
adopted, applying to such emergencies, IA Bich
would save the . Constitution from- these inroads;
which on similar occasions might be made upon it.
This he. conceiVed to be the duty of the House to
i provide tor: oti it, part ; and' he .'creed with that
which w a ',held in the secoed .Resolu :ion— -that it.
. is•the ditty ot Parliament 'to provide for the due
execution of the Royal ()thee, but not, to shackle
or circemscribe it. _ .fis. this view he preferred the
.tetode of Address to that ot Bill. -,At.cording 'to the
mode of proseeding adopted by Ministeis, there
certainly may be'a dangerous breadr Made in tic
Constitution. ,Though he did not charge them
with, any suCli..design, yet where -the "nub aninto
existed, much mischief may
.be done. He thoog,lit
the tnetits of the question between the modes of Bill
, land AddreSs lay in a narrow compass. It, the one. case
the power was assumed, in the other it was only pro
‘"t7,*t.t, for -their Lordships should consider, that the
Great :oral, in the way *contended for by.ll4i-
maters, was not.,the organ Of :he. King's will, but that
of both Houses of Parliament. Arid, further, that
those •who-recoMitiendel such a pine-lice Could trot

stitotion,, when they conferred, .is when they 'as.,'

Warned their Lordshipeusainst the adoption of the

to carry both Houses out of'; he sphere prescribed to
them, by the. Cmstitution, :ond at the same. time ,

the head and key-stone of that 6,'-institiftion,
The Earl of DARNLEY followed, ,and warmly con-
tended for the 'adoption of the nio,V of proceeding ,
by Address in preference to the mode of. a Bill, as/
reccirtimended by Ministers. He .c.evsured the de- -
lays whieh. had hitherto taken 'place, \as tending to
leave the Ggvernment of the -Country withoeiC.its
constitutional' heid. It would be much \nore wise, '
as well -its,more consistent; with the dignity of Path-
meaty to confer the powers of GoVerntiTeNt on ' the
Royal Persprriage in question, in the simple. direct
way chalked-out by the AinendmAxt, than tVe.tedi-:
ous an&circuitous mode: Of proceeding by Mekess:--;
When,expre-ssitig. his sentiments as hostile to a 'N.-lead

Lord KENtON, on the other side, argued in fa•
your of the mode of proceeding by Bill, as the most
consistent and.cnnstitutional way of appointing the
Regal Personage,in quest:on to the temporary head.
of the Government. His Lord hip, who expressed
himself throughout in a very low tone, adduced a
variety of argumeufsan favour Of his conclusion. As
to the claim of right, as it was not expre,sly urged,
he would not enlarge upon it, but he thought it im-
possible such a claim could be founded ou the true
principles of the Constitutiim.- He instanced, hy-
pothetically, a case occurring in the reign of. Queen
Anne, when the then illustrious head of the.. House
Btuuswick was declared by law the presumptive
Ef2it to the Crown, could that illUstrious Person

-• • We, live so frequently had reason to animadvirt
upon the language of the :Morning Clzronzcle, upim
the Sullied of the Campaign in Portugal, that we
are althOst weary ;of the task. We feel ourselves,
however, bound, in justice..to.Lord- tLINGTON,
and to .the gallant armishe comniands,. to notice,
\•and to _expose, as far'as we are able; any attempt to
rob them of the glory to: which they.: are so justly
entitled. At the beginning. :of .the campaign, the
Chronicle censured Ministers-for attempting to defend
Portugal, which was represented as an hopeless and
, ,
chimerical project. Lord 'WELLINGTON, 'however,
has defended Portugal ; but so far froM 'receiving
praise for his conduct, he is censured because he has
not annihilated an army which, 'four months ago,
the chronicle eontethied was strong enough to drive
•him out of Portugal. • a• We. have reason, to' be-
lieve," says the Chronicle,''' that LOrd WELLIN6-
.
TON is convinced of the utter impra6ticability of
the objed of his' expedition." Upon what fats or
reasoning that belief is grOuntlect we are
.utterly
,at, a lobs to conceive, but the
,Cliiditicle seems
totally to forget that. MASSENA undertook an
expedition, at the head of an army, as hestated,
of one hundred and ten thottsand men, to expel the
English lroni,Portugal. He, indeed, has found the
object of hii exPeditiOn• impraCticable ; but the ex-
pression is
.totally inapplicable to Lord WElutsto-,
in N. Whenwe stated, schne daYs ago, , that a c011..'
siderable body of French troops that were on their
march to join MASSENA,had retreated. towards Spain
in a panic, the Chronicle sneered at .us, for. our state-
tnent, 'to which ii declared it, could give no credit.
This-day, however,.it is forced to adinit that " the
retreat of G-meral GArtpANga was owing to false in-
formation which, he had received of the force-of the
Allies, Which threw..hirn into a panic, and he lied
with the utmost precipitatigu," •

From Buenos Ayres some letters were yesterday
delivered, dated the 26th September. They contain.
the. important infortn4tion that Chili, Lima, and
,their dependenCiei, had formed Juntas on the plan
of the Revolutionists; and" had disclaimed all con-
nection with ttie Regency of. Old. Spain. -
Letters were also received from Caraccas, dated

the beginning of last month,. rsjpresenting that set-:
dement to be in a State of total disorganization and
anarchy: A-- counter-revolution was daily appre-
hended, and many farniiies of rank 'and fortune bad
removed wilt their portable egrets to a situation of
• less insecurity. The latter face is coero3D-orated by,
the letters from Cadiz, received the preceding day,
*which also mentioned the appointment of &to,
late Governor of iloute Viddo, to theYkcro)alfy
of Buenos Ayres, assuCors"qor to the deposed CISNg'
aos. This nomination. of an Officer notoriously
hoitile to the.now•orrier of things, is by• no mean;
calculated to appease the gthieral discontent, and
Will-probably accelerate the progress of the revo'

Oa Monday night, about tea o'clock, as the Duke
of NORFOLK was descending die second flight of
step from the HOtise of Peers, his Grace sliQped ?rid
fell with much violence, but fortunately received no
material injury, although he was utrable to Ilse with-
out assistance.

A melancholy accident happened on -Saturday last
off the Isle of Wight. Mr. THOMAS DWrEtt, of the
Commissariat department (who was oil the evu of
sailing to join the army i❑ Portugal) had entered a
boat for the purpose of getting on board of his ship;
when about a mile from the shore, a sudden, gale of
wind arose and upset the boat,, by which most un-
fortunate occurrence Mr. Dw YUR was thowhed.

EXTRACT OF 'A, LETTER Fr.OM STOCKHOLM; DATED
THE. 28Tli NOVEMBER, 1810.
"Jo transmitting to you the Swedish declara-
tion of. war against England, .1 wish to commu-
nicate to. you some details with regard to the
Motives which have -induced .Buonaparte to or-
der it.
Extremely irritated by the loss of the Isle of
Bdurbon (seeing it thus every day become more
difficult to make -good his promise to France, of
.preserving her colonies), as.,, ell as by the resistance
which he has met with in the Penicsula, Bunna-
parte sent for the Baron de Lagerbjellte;the Swe-
dish Minister at Paris,. and; lb prescnceof Cham-,
pagny alone, spoke to him as follows :-- The elec
tibri,of the Prince of -Ponte Corvo to the Throne of
Sweden' has alone restrained my just resentment
against your Court• for the last three months. . It
(las not ceased to give provocation to France since
1809: at One time preventing. England from mak-
ing peace for Ore., years together; and at another,
seeing the alliance and protedion of ;France, in order
to desert it afterw?rds. I. knew (added Burma;
parte) how to provide against the hatred of Gusta-
vus Adolphus. he was my declated. enemy ;
while the present Government of Sweden has only
sought my friendship for the purpose of 'recovering
Firriatid, an event,that.will never t tke.pla&. It has,
besides, cootinraed( to trade w Great Britam,:in
cAtravention of the Treaty of Peace with France,
.oy permitting .colonial produce to be introduced into
SWeden, forithe purpose :01 being afterwards re-ex-
ported to the Coot !
" 6 In' consequence of an this,' Continued Bllo7'
irlpartel, " my Minister at Stockhdlm has orders to
(1611)4rd:that war be declared against England—thai
English manufactures 'be burnt—and.that colonial
'produce be .subjected to a duty of 5b.p...r cent.,;
and in case of refusul, he must quit Stockholm •
immediately. It is I who order it--such' is my plou-
sure.' •
" Whenever the Baron de Lagerbjelke attempted
to reply, Buonaparte ordered him to be silent, cry
ing, Hold your tongue !'
" The Council of State.at .Stockholm, and which
will surprise you still Mo-re;.Beinadotte himself,Were
'of opinion, that war should not be declared again,t
England. ' The declaration -of. the Danish Minister,
' thathe would depart from SWeden; if
.Buonapaite's
demand, through. his own Minister, were not com-
plied with, and the fear that the King would expe-
rience , the late of the uotortunate Gustavus Adol-
phus, should he have a war
.with France, Itlrssia,
and Denmark, produced submission to the pleasure
of Buonaparje.
" The soundest and most numerous part of the
nation highly disapprove of such a syste:n.
" They cannot proceed to burp, the English ma-
nufact tares, and to impose a
.duty of 501. per cent.
on colonial prnduct, without first convoking the
States /of the Realm. - The Baron de Lagerbjelke
havirmanentioned that objeaion to Buonaparte, re-
ceived r for answer, " Let me hear no more of thee
silly (the expres,,iou is much more coarse in French)
laws of Sweden.',,
". It is believed here, that Buonaparkt, during the.
sp7ing, will put the Wedish fleet in requisition,
for the. purpose of Making Iran tv hh, that which he
is equippingin the Texel ; bat it is the general opt-
Moo, at the same time, that this country wll not
ad hostilely against England, if the latter does not
attack ber;'

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER WITH THE

BRITISH ARMY IN PORTUGAL.

Almeyria, Portugal, Nov. 30, aro.

" On'the 15th instant, the whole 'of the French
army retired froth their; position in font of our
lines; and on the 16th Lord Wellington advanced
with about half of his troops towards them ; we
Marched after the enemy lor several days with ail
pOSsible expedition, but we could, not, get up with
thein till they had arrived at the heights of San-
tarem, in a position which Lord Wellington has
deeined too strong to be attacked. General Hill's
division has since crossed the Tagus, .and )is now
immediately opposite the town of Sant gear, where
nearly the whole of the French force is concen-
trated; but the Tagus is between Us, .and they
have no means of ciossing it. Lord Wellington is
on the other side of the enemy ; and there, area eon:-
siderable number of Portuguese troops, and our
.13th light Dragoons, at Abrantes and_ the neigh-
bourhood; in their rear. Therefore, in case Massena
atteMpts to retreat to Spain, ,as we imagine he
Wtshes to do, he will sustain a very great loss ; and
it is ceriein that he will never get to Lisbon with less.
tlian 100,000 men. He brought about 80,000 men
from Spaio, but cannot now have more than 60,000
effediVe. The battle at Buzaco cost him 10,000, and
several thousand deserted,to us, 'mostly Germans.
Our marches_ were very fatiguing, as' we generally
started at four o'clock in the morning, arid we sel-
dom arrived at our quarters for the .night t ill`sik' or
seven in the evening, and we had rain almoSt every
day: when we came in, we had to take possession
of deserte&houses, churches, or stabl6, .and pre-
pare for cooking our ,breakfa'st. Our oxen. are
driven With .us, and killed and made use of im-
mediately on our arrival at a place ot' halt, Dur-
ing our march on the other side, of the Tagus, I
was constantly witnessing the horrors of war,--the
raids being strewed with. the carcasses of hooks
and; Mules, and even in some places with human
bodies : and the towns and villages completely de-
serted : what furniture remained was thrown into
the streets, and nothing but the shells of the 'watts
were left.- We, are no in a country which the
French have not visited, but which is filled by fugi-
tives from the other side of the river, who sutler the
extreme of misery ; but the people do not murmur,
and appear deteiiuinvd to defend their cotintry to
the last."

The President andConticii.ofthe Royal Academy,
it seems, have determined to fill up the vacatcies
which have been occasioned by the death of five of
the Members; subjeet, of course, to the approba-
tion of his MAJusrv, %Viten, fur the happiness of
an affectionate people, lie shall he restored to his
former health.
