ltis family than any-fther man 4 the kingdom. His

them," althoogh in opposition to his.Majesty'i Mi-
nisters, ind Sitaddeettainly not be sorry to have their
great tatents•called• again into employmen
ceive still f.uther'rewards. Not meaning to esPress
an opitsion.faittutable to the Convention, and at the
same time wiShing to avoid any personal disrespect
to his Kijesty, he moved that the meeting should
adjourn.
Mr. Bit nms.rosts: supported the giestion of adjourn-
ment in a very lung speech, in wWh he contended,
that the Convention was not worse than the Conven-
tion in Egypt,' which also sent home the French
troops in British ships.
Mr. W. Smirit replied to the arguments of the two '
last gentlemen, and pointed out the great differencit''
between merely sending back the French troops from'
Egypt to their own country, when there was no ally."
to be attacked, :u:d sending them from Portugal to'
be employed immediately in the attack of the Spanish'
nation, for which this country was so deeply interested. !
He could net conceive how it could be considered
personally disrespectful to the King to consider the
language of his answer as the language of his Mini-
sters. This was the light in which his Majesty's
speeches were consitutionally considered ; and they
were so considered, cut of respect to his Majesty,
who could never be supposed to act wrong but by
the advice of bad Ministers.

Mr. Ht Li. entered his protest, as an Englishman,
against the disgraceful Convention at Cintra. [The
cries for the question were so loud, that he declined
delivering his sentiments more fully.]
The SHERIFF then put the question of adjourn.
ment, by desiring that all who were for the petition
should go over to his right hand, and those who were
for the adjournment should go to his left. The ma.
jority appeared for the adjournment, and consequently
the original motion was lost.

HAVANNAH, JULY 1!1.

The following address has been presented to the
Governor by the Franciscan Friars :
" Seignor President, Governor and Captain-General of this
City and the Isl And of Cuba—.

" The precautions which you have just adopted to guard
against an attack on the part of France assure us of the truth of ,
the reports which are in circulation, of the unexampled perfidy
with which the Emperor of the French, abusing the frar•.kness
and good faith of our ever-loved Ferdinand VII. has detained
him in France, and subjected his kingdom to all the horrors of
war, respecting neither age, sex, tier rank, and even stretching
forth his sacrilegious hand towards the sanctuary. We should
think ourselves guilty of the highest crime, did we suffer to pass
unnoticed ro barbarous a proceeding. We are Spaniards, and
there runs iu our veins not only the blood of throe heroes who
have so nobly ad:aered to their Sovereign, but also that of those
who have fallen, mut ate this moment are falling victims to the le-
rocity of Murat and the furies who accompany him. Though,
from our profession, we may not appear qualified for any other',
tag. than that of directing the spiritual concerns of our brethren,
and supplicating GOD between the porch and the altar to look
down with an eye of compassion on his people ; nevertheless
while we are not unmindful of that duty, and will constantly
discharge it, we earnestly entreat that you will call upon us, and
allow us to be among the first to be employed .in any service,
however difficult and laborious, even that of carrying arms, in
ease of necessity, in the defence of our country, We will meet
death with pleasure, and give an exemplary poor to those who
survive isa, that we have acknowledged no other religion than
that of JESUS CURis r, as it is professed in the Catholic Apostolic
Roman Church, no other King than Ferdinand VII. and no inte-
rests but those of Spain. May Goo, &e.

DISTURBANCE AT OSWEGO.

We hear from Oswego, that on Thursday last ap-
plication was made to Mr. BURT, custom-house
officer at that place,•to obtain a clearance for two
boats for Sacket's harbour, which was refused. The
owners of the boats assured Mr. B. that they should
depart the first fair wind, and advised him to conduct
accordingly. In the course of the following night,
the weather permitting, they made sail. Muskets
were discharged at the boats, and the fire returned.
No damage, however, was sustained. When day-
light appeared a boat was dispatched with 18 or 19
armed men, to bring in these piratical vagrants : but
when overtaken, they discovered such a disposition
to defend themselves, (eight in number), that it was
:udged prudent to let them proceed, and thus prevent
the effusion of blood.

On Sunday evening the lion. DAN. Bannt.rx re-
ceived a letter express from Mr. &KT, soliciting the
aid of 50 militia, to enforce the embargo law—stat-
ing, that unless the required assistance could be had
within four days, he should be obliged to quit his
station, as he had been threatened, &ci

TUE BLESSINGS 01' EMBARGO/M.

We hear from Roxbury, that a few days since a
fracas happened between twie.Magistrates of a neigh.
bouring county. It originated, we are informed,
in some observations respecting the beneficial results
of Mr. JEFFERSON'S omnipotent Embargo. One of the
combatants, who is also a conspicuous Member of
the Congress, Chief Justice &c. &c. thinking his op.
ponent a confirmed political heretic, endeavoured, as
we are told, with the true spirit of democratic free-
dom and modern philanthropy, to correct the squea-
mish st imach of his antagonist, and force him, with
fistycuffs, to digest this last strong dose of philosophi-
cal quackery. Although we believe this honourable
pugilist took the most promiling means of making.,
his prescription palatable, as he ts well calculated by j
nature for deducing those highly polite and .convin-
cing aAuments ;—,vet we understand his " honour's"
proboscis bears trident marks of " oppuguation," and
his ports of vision are now suffering under a distress-
ing, though partial Embargo.--(Bolton Castind.)

ARANIVEZ, OCTOBER 12.

In consideration of the eminent services rendered
to the country by Don Joseph Palafoz y Melii in the
siege and blockade of the city of Saragossa, which
he so gloriously defended, to our honour and the
disgrace of our enemies, and of the general vote of
the inhabitants who proclOmed him Captain-Genenil
of the kingdom of Arragon, the Supreme Central
and Governing Junta has agreed to promote him to
the rank of Major-General in the Royal armies, con.
firming him in the command as Captain-General of
the said kingdom, and President of its Audience.

BILBOA, OCTOBER 13.
His Excellency Den Joaquin Blake reports from
this town, and under this day's date, to the Council
of the Kingdom, that General Merlin, fearful on as
count of the movements made by our army, preci.
pitately evacuated Bilboa; our advanced guard took
20 prisoners. The most expedient measures had
been adopted to cut off the retreat of the said General
with his corps, 5000 strong, and to make them pri.
soners ; and this operation was on the point of being
carried into effect, had not the enemy, informed of
our movements, retreated at break of day, earryiug
off 114 artillery by the way of Mondragon, and leay.
ing in the tows► a small corps which brought up his
rear, and fell back as our army advanced. One Of&
cer, a Serjeant; and 18 men, were taken prisoners,
and some killed.

In the conimon course of proceedings the President's
Message should hate been first discussed but instead
of this, a motion is made and carried, almost unani-
mously, for an early discussion of the Entbargo Act.
The result, which was not known when the packet
sailed, may be expected by the first arrival from
America. We shall not anticipate the decision ; but
in spite of the unchanged biass of Mr. JEFFERSON,
Mr. MADDISON, and their friends, we cannot but con-
sider the proceedings that have taken place as indica-
tive of a wish on the part of the majority to give the
measure an impartial examination.

le British Order in Cotincil was not levelled at

iccestary to our own safety.—We admit that Ame-
ica, as an independent State, has a right to enact

any Power a reason for laying an embargo on the
bade of her own subjects : but America has no right
o hunt for pretexts to justify her conduct, in the
rottedings of another Power called for by the ag-'1
Woes of a third party ; nor does America act

. -?HEAD'

Last week a Gentleman Jibe name of Merairin
made his first appearance at the Bath .theatre in.. the
part of Shylock. The iratiety of expression so essential
to this character, was admirably supported, .anh
received the well-deserved tribUte of loud and liberal
applause. • •
KIND'S THZATRF..—Last night was presented for
the first time a new Comic Opera, by BUONAIUTI, en:
titled Il Fourbo contrail Fourbo, or Diamond cut Diamond,.
The Principal characters, by Madame CATALAN('
Signors Rion; and Mcialaxt, were supported with
great spirit and vivacity. The music, by FIORAVAN'es
Is Well adapted and pleasing, but neither novel nor
Various. The piece, however, is more than commonly
well got up, new, and the whole was received with
general applause.
DatmT-LANE.—Last night a new musical farce was
performed at this Theatre, entitled In and Out ofrune,
said to be the literary production of a man of fashion;
melodized by Mr. COUTO, exhibiting the following
Dramatis Persons :
Old Discord-- MY. Do WTON

Cornet Gorget • Da CAMP
Corporal Mullowney Jo HNSTONE

Sons of Discord S Outlaws

Wray
Watchmen - - Messrs. SMITH and Mul.i.o
Margaretta (a Scots Lady) - Miss DUNCAN
Rosa (Daughter to Discord) LYON
Sally - Mrs. BLAND
The reception experienced by this Piece, does not
warrant our devoting much attention to the story,
which is simply that of an old rich Attorney, dis-
tracted by a musico-mania that has seized his whole
family, from the garret to the cellar; in one of the
paroxysms of which, his daughter is carried off by a
young Officer, who owes him a considerable sum of
money, being the amount of a debt which he had
purchased of a Jew. These slight materials, which
are ill put together, were last night scarcely tolerated,
till the fall of 'the curtain, in consideration of the
music, which, to say nothing more of it, is pretty.
Miss DUNCAN sung a pleasing Scotch air, and JOHN-
STONE an Irish ditty, which was encored. But the in-
cidents introduced are so grossly vulgar, and the dia-
logue so meagre, as to have greatly roused the in-
dignation, and tired the patience, of the Audience,
early in the second Act. It was given out by Dr-
CAMP for a second representation, but in the midst of
clamour, which rendered his voice inaudible. It
may, however, by timely doctoring, preserve a brief
existence.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FLORENCE, DEC. io.
In pursuance of a Convention between their Ma-
jesties the Emperor of the French and King of Italy,
and the King of Spain, Tuscany has been ceded to
his Im nal- Majesty ; and yesterday evening the
Queen to whom other States are to be azsigned) de-
parted ence with a train of between forty and fifty
carriages, containing baggage and private property :
after which the Etrunans were discharged from their
oath of allegiance, and the Government declared to
be dissolved, by the following proclamation ;
Charles Louis, Infmt rf Spain, King of Etruria, die. and on
the part of his Majesty, her Majesty Maria Louisa, In-
fanta of Spain, Queen Regent of Etruria. _

Whereas his Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of
Italy, has informed us, that by virtue of a treaty concluded with
his Catholic Majesty, other states are appointed for us in exchange
for the kingdom of Etruria, ceded to the most illustrious Emperor
by the aforesaid treaty ; we consider our reign in Etruria as dis-
solved from this day, and hence discharge the Etrurian nation
from every oath of allegiance towards our Royal Person.
Yet we cannot separate from subjects so dearly beloved, without
publicly assuring them of our entire gratitude, and of the memory
which we shall at all times retain of the faithful attachment which
they have displayed during the time of our government.
Yet if there is a thought which can diminish our affliction at
such a separation, it is this, that the kingdom of Etruria—that so
obedient a nation becomes subject to the happy government of a
belynarch who is adorned with the most heroic virtues, among
which the constant care is pre-eminent with which he labours to
assure the prosperity of the people under his authority.

DOVER, JAN. 29.

Came in this morning, the brig Catharine, of
Limekilns, in Scotland, from Guernsey, with wine,
stone, and rags, bound to London ; was captured at
six o'clock last night off the Owers by the French
lugger privateer l'Oiseau, of 18 guns and GO men,
belonging to Etaples ; the Master, ROBERT Woon,
and the crew (except Wm. DRAKE, Mate, and JOHN
THONIPSON, Mariner, who secreted themselves), were
taken on board the privateer, and two Frenchmen and
-two Danes were put on board the brig, to conduct her
to France. About nine o'clock, the Prize-master
having gone down in the cabin, to look at the chart,
the two Englishmen took advantage of his absence,
rushed on the other three, and, after a severe conflict,
succeeded in getting possession of the brig and secur-
ing the enemy : one of the Danes was desperately
wounded, and thrown overboard twice, but getting
hold of a rope, saved himself : the Prize-master at-
tempted several times to get on deck during the con-
flict, but was prevented, the hatchway being fastened
down, and the sky-light was not large enough for him
to get up that way. L'Oiseau had been out three days
from Etaples, and had taken and sent fur Dieppe a
Kniphau,en hoy from Bourdeaux, with brandy and
wine, in consequence of her having been boarded by a
British cruizer. Passed by the ship Bellona, Captain

MOTION OF THANKS.

Lord HAWKESBURY acquainted the House, that by an error
in copying out the motion for the Thanks of the House, which
were voted yesterday to the General Officers serving in the Ex-
pedition to the Baltic—the name of Major-General Thomas Gros-
venor was omitted. 'Their Lordships must all feel, when the well-
known professional merits of that officer, and the way in which
be behaved, not only on that particular occasion, but in every
other on which he was employed—that the omission must be dearly
unintentional He would therefore, beg leave to rectify the error,
by moving that the name of Major-General Thomas Grosvenor
be inserted in- the said Vote of Thanks—which was ordered ac-
cordingly. . . . . .

His Lordship then adverted to a second omission which bad
been inadvertently made in the vote of last night, respecting the
Expedition to the Baltic—this however was merely of a formal
Eaturc, but which he would now rectify by moving, That to the
other orders there be added the following—That the Captains of
the several ships employed in the Expedition be requested to
communicate the Thanks of the House to the Seamen and Marines
on board their respective ships—which was also ordered.
The House then adjournedpreforwea till to-morrow, when the
meeting will take place merely preparatory to their Lordships' at-
tending Divine Service in Westminster Abbey.
