tout it to prealsatle overture eoalt have been marn•l
tamed, this was a favourable time; but in saying
this, he did not mean to say that an answer to the pro-
position of the Noble Lord was not a preliminary, ne-
cessary to such a step being taken.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that it was impossible
for to say any thing in explanation, to a speech which
had misrepresented and misconceived any thing he
had said.
Mr. HUTCHINSON, in explanation, said, t'ae
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had grossly
misrepresented the whole of his speech.
Mr. CANNING replied, that after hearing the
explanation of the Honourable Gentleman he could
only say that he still retained his former opinion.
Mr. HUTCHINSON denied that he was chant.
pion of Bonaparte, as the Right Hon. Gentleman
bad stated, and such an accusation was false.
Mr. CANNING said, he never thought it neces-
sary to reply to observations on that which he never
had said.
Mr. HUTCHINSON said that applying the words
se Champion of Bonaparte" to him was a gross per-
version of his argument, and the assertion teas grossly
false. .

Mr. W. SMITH warmly supported the motion,
and expressed his approval of the conduct of Mini-
sters, upon the late overtures.
Mr. SHERIDAN, in reply, drew a lively picture
of the perfidy of the French Ruler towarsis Spain,
from whom he had received no provocation ; and
again deprecated giving praises to such an enemy.
The motion was then put, and agreed to without
a division.—Adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock.

A Cadiz Mail arrived this morning :—the intelli-
gence brought by it is, as might be expected, highly
gratifying. The Guerillas, by intercepting King
Joscen's couriers, afford abundance of matter for the
Spanish Journals, in the shape of private communica.
tions to his Generals, which afford a doleful picture
of the French cause in Spain. JOSEPH is reported to
have once more left Madrid for France, accompanied
by a numerous retinue. The final evacuation of the
Asturias by the troops under BONNET, is confirmed,
and his retreat was so precipitate as to compel him
to leave his artillery, baggage, and sick behind him.
An expedition is fitting out at Cadiz to co-operate in
the extensive operations now in contemplation against
the whole line of Mediterranean coast, under the do•
minion of France. General Roan has embarked at
Anemic for the Catalonian expedition with his di.
vision—this armament alone, ill then consist of
18,000 men, and we may soon expect to hear of its
complete success.
The French remained in Estremadura, only until
they could strip the miserable inhabitants of a preca-
rious, but as it happened, an abundant harvest, which
they have transported to Andalusia. The supplies
of the British army, and of the inhabitants, must
therefore continue to be drawn from foreign markets.
The Spanish Papers do not supply us with any pre.
cise intelligence respecting SOULT and his army.

We lament to find, by an additional arrrival of
American Papers, that the PRES/DLNT and his friends
have precipitated their country into a war with Great
Britain. The Columlian, (a Paper published at New
York on the 20th ultimo,) states the arrival of an
express to General BLOOMFIELD, the Governor, with
instructions to prepare for instant hostilities. We do
not learn, however, that any Manifesto or Proclama-
tion had been issued. The President and Congress
fi igates, with the Argus gun-brig, were the only
ships of war at New York. The British frigate Ba.-
vinunE, and sloop of war TARTARUS, were off Sandy
Hook; and it was yesterday reported in the City that
a naval engagement had taken place, which ended in
the capture of a British merchantman ; but this, we
have no doubt, is incorrect.

We regret to state, that the old-established Banking
House of KENSING fON and Co. of Lombard-street,
stopped payment this morning. A sensation alarming
beyond all precedent has been excited in the city and
elsewhere, in consequence of this calamitous event.

Some of the Officers attached to Lord CATHCART'S
suite, have left town to proceed to Russia, to make
preparations for the reception of his Lordship.
Yesterday the Earl and Countess of HARIUNOTON
left town for Oakley, the seat of the Marquis of TA-
visromc, in Bedfordshire.

Letters from Rio Janeiro, of the 21st May, state,
that the differences between the rival powers of
Monte Video and Buenos Ayres had not been settled.

DRE4DFUL MURDER at BARNES, 8r 1 RR,Er,

We have this day to record another of those arm
cious outrages against human nature which hue ft„
cently stained the annals of this country. The Cn
and Countess D'ANTRAIGUIta, two foreigners of Xis,
tinction and great notoriety in the fashionabk world,
were last night savagely butchered by their own act.
vant ; who afterwards eluded the just vengeance of
the law by putting an end to his own wretched
tence !

It is a slight, and indeed but a sorry consolation to
learn, that the Monster who perpetrated this series r
foul crimes, was an Italian Servant, who had bee
long in the employment of the Count and COneleit
From the particulars which have transpired, it stow
appear that the villain watched an opportunity, when
the Countess was in a room by herself, and rewind
upon her with a pistol, which he presented, inn it
missed fire. He then drew a poignard, and plunged
it to the hilt in her back, as she was struggling)
escape from his deadly grasp.

Her dying screams brought the Count D'Ay.
TRAIGVEY into the apartment, where helvecidhir
Lady extended lifeless on her face at the fat chix
assassin. The brutal savage then made at his awe.
and with one thrust of his poignard bereaved kislei
life also !

But a few seconds intervened when the serrantsia
the other parts of the house were alarmed with the
report of a pistol, and upon entering the apartmext
the dreadful spectacle presented itself of three liftint
bodies drenched in blood, extended upon the ficat,..
The assassin was found with his brains blown
and the pistol was still in his hand.
Such are the particulars of this dreadful 'Lk a
they have reached our ears. We• believe the Cent
D'ANTAAIGUES once held the situation of Atoka
dor to this Court from a foreign Sovereign. Held
his Lady were excellent private characters. Webot
heard of no CAW* for the perperatiou of their bawl
murders.
