LONDUIV,

MONDAY, MAY 7, 1810.

We present our Readers this day with a very cu-
rious article that appeared in one of the French
Papers which were received yesterday to the 29th
ult. The article we allude to is the alleged attempt
of the British Government to procure the deliver,
ance of FERDINAND the SEVENTH, from the power
of the Corsican Usurper. Such an attempt was
surely laudable, for if it had been attended with suc-
cess, the effect of the presence of their lawful Mo-
narch would have given new vigour and animation
to the people of Spain ; and the mock-monarch of
that country would most probably have been re-.
turned upon the hands of his brother, for any other
kingdom of which he might think proper to de-
prive the rightful possessor. Granting, therefore,
that the attempt originated in the British Govern-
ment, w have reason to applaud Ministers for the
activity and' zeal which they hat e shewu in the affairs

Oppre;sor, that the whole is a mere fabrication of
The French Government, which has been notoriou3

for those tricks which may be supposed to issue from
a Cutpurse of the Empire and the rule t." but
it is not improbable that the real name of the
Agent is KELLY, and that the vessel, which is
erroneously called the Incomparable (no ship of that
name being in our navy), was the Implacable,
particularly as there is no mistake in the name of
the Commander,- Captain COOCKBURN.
An article appears in the French Papers from the
French Genral NEY, signed the Marquis the Duke
of ELCIHNGEN, dated Salamanca, March 28, ad-
dressed to BERTHIER, under the title of Prince of
NEUFCHATEL,iII which he gives an account of an at-
attack made upon the English posts on the Agueda,
in which he says, "we lost 120 men." We were,
however, put in possesssion of the real faas of that
affair, so creditable to the English troops and to
Colonel liscxwmt,by, Lord WELLINGTON'S dis-
patches.

We congratulate the Country upon the energy
and loyalty displayed by tht. independent Liverymen
of London, in opposition to the violent proceedings
of the persons assembled at the Common Hall on
Friday last. They have set an example which we
have litile doubt will be followed in every part
of the kingdom. Near four hundred Liverymen
have subscribed their names to the loyal and pa.
triotic Address which appears in our Paper this day,
and we have very little doubt but that the number
will be increased to five or six times that number.
We trust that counter-meetings •of a similar na-
ture wit) be held in the County of Middlesex and
in the City of Westminster, in order tliat the real
sense of the Freeholders of the one and the Eledors
of the other may be fairly known. The. party that
espouse the cause and profess the principles of Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT are waive and persevering the
real friends of the Constitution n.ust th-N.„e now
stand forward to repel their attacks, and defeat their
projects, otherwise this happy country, which has
so long and so sucees,fully resisted the attacks of its
• powerful and inveterate foseign foe, may fall a sa-
crifice to its domestic eneLlies.
