MR. WALSH.

Last night tNe House of Commons ordered the
Papers relative to Mr. WALSH to be printed.
The first is a copy of the Record, which our limits
do not, allow us to insert, but this is the less necessary
as the result is stated in the subjoined papers
" TIM LORD CUM !ARON TO MR. SEVRILTARY RYDER.
" SIR, February 15, 1812.
" I have the !tortoni- to acquaint you, for the information of
Iris Royal Highness the Prince Regent, that Benjamin Walsh was
indicted before me at the last Sessions holden at the Old Bailey,
for stealing front Sir Thomas Plumer a certain Order for the
payment of £22,200, and also stealing Bank Notes tot hat amount.
" The facts of his having formed the design of converting this
money to his use, and of actually so converting much the greater
part of it, were proved without contradiction.
" But doubts having occurred to Mr. Justice Le Blanc and
myself, (Mr. Justice Chambre being absent from indisposition)
the case was reserved for the Judges to consider whether the
facts proved amounted to the crime of larceny.
" The argument of Counsel concluded last night; and the cast
was considered by ten Judges present (two being confined by ill-
ness) who were of opinion that the facts proved did not, in esti-
mation of Law, amount to Felony.
" The Prisoner having been convicted of that offence, I ant
humbly to recommend hint as a proper object of his Majesty's
parlor.—l am, &c. (Signed) Aa. MACDONALD.'

" Whereas Benjamin Walsh was, at a Session holden at the
101 d Bailey to January last, tried and convicted of Felony, but
judgment was resplied ; We, In consideration of some circum-
stancesl humbly represented unto Us, touching the said conviction,
are gracisusly pleased to extend Our grace and mercy unto hint,
and to grant him our Free Pardon for his said crime : Our will and
pleasure therefore is, that you cause the said Benjamin Walsh to
be forthwith discharged out of custody; and for so doing this
shall be your Warrant.
'6 Given at our Court at Carlton House the 20th day of Febru-
ary, 1812, in the 52d year of our Reign.

ness the Prince Regent, in the name
and on the behalf of his Majesty.
" R. RYDER."
" To our trusty and well-beloved our Justices of
Goal Delivery for the City of London and
County of Middlesex, the Sheriffs of the said
City and County, and all others whom it may
concern.

EPITAPH
ON AN AMIABLE YOUNG MAN, AT HASTINGS, WHO DUD OF A
PRETERNATURAL ANLARGtML.N 01 rut HEART.

Here lies, cut off in manhood's pride,
Of SATTERLaT the mortal part.
Strange the disease of which he died !
He died of too enlarg'd a heart ! •
Contracted hearts, 0 Death, be thine!
At these, let all thy darts be Iturrd;
And y et, how wild this wish of mine—
To make a desart of the world!

Yesterday morning the JUDGE ADVOCATE attended

ever since the peace, with their mother the Countess.
• The Earl of Mrxsonotxii is confined in Yorkshire

The Oratorio of the Messiah was well attended

her transcendent talents with the happiest effect.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Captain Jemuxs, of the City
of London, and Captain GLROSTANES, of the Sir
William Bensley, took leave previously to departing
for Madras and China. Captain W. PATTERSON was
sworn into the command of the Thomas Grenville,
destined to Madras, Ceylon. and Bengal.
A very numerous meeting of the merchants, and
other inhabitants of Bristol, was held last week, on
the subject of the approaching expiration of the East
India Company's Charter. The business being opened
by the Mayor, Mr. M.Annsr, in a speech o. consi-
derable length, • expatiated upon the necessity of the
Out Ports of the kingdom insisting upon a participa-
tion of the trade in future, and concluded by moving
several Resolutions to this effect, which were carried
unanimously. A subscription was entered into for
aiding the purposes of the meeting.
We learn with extreme concern, that in the neigh-
bourhood of Huddersfield, within a short distance of
that town, no fewer th:. a twenty frames or machines
have been broken, employed exclusively in the opera-
tion. of cropping cloth. Serious apprehensions are
entertained that further mischief will be committed,
and the principal manufacturers who have availed
themselves of this species of mechanism, are provided
with arms and waccinueo, to prevent such depre.

THE ARMY.

.

•
eneral Hoer has arrived at Portsmouth to take.
his passage in the MELPOMENE, for the Peninsula.
' The' BRUNE and another frigate have arrived
at Portsmouth, with a convoy of transports from Lis-
bon, having 1500 French prisoners on board, which
were *captured in the fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo.—
. The 59th regiment also arrived in the above fleet, as
likewise the battalion cf Marines, under the com-
mand of that able Officer Major WlLLlario. This
battalion is to he reinforced from the different divi-
sions immediately to 1000 strong, when they will em-
bark for North America, as the most efficient force
which can be possibly sent there.—Amongst the pas-
sengers were General PEACOCK, late Commandant at
Lisbon,
and Captain PURDEN, of the Sth battalion of
the 60th, who was wounded about eight months ago !
at Badajos.
Never was there a General who possessed more I
entirely the unbounded confidence of an army than
...ord WELLINGTON. The British army had never
before such Officers as are under him in Portugal,
! where they have learned the Art of War. We never
had such a band as GRAHAM, HILL, PicToN, LONG,
and PAKENUANI.—The whole army looks up to
them. We find, that Lord PAGET is still anxiously
looked for in the Peninsula, to command the Cavalry.
The last accounts from Lisbon, stated, that both
MARSIONT and Lord WELLINGTON were moving to-
wards the Alentejo. Lord WELLINGTox had deter-
mined to attack Badajos, which would inevitably
bring on a general action.
iA company of Artillery, which has been stationed
1 at Portsmoutivfor some time, have received orders to
, embark. They are destined fur the. Peninsula, and
i will sail immediately.
