THE ARMY.

We believe we made no vain promifes, when we
atured our Readers that they might expea from us
the earlieit, and heft accounts of General Cam,.
FULD'S expedition, the account of our very able cot.-
refprndent : with General Caawroacr's expedition,
we believe, will completely fatisfy the curiofity of
every reader, as far as this expedition has proceeded.
Never furely was fecret better kept tharethe dellina-
don of this armament. We daily expert likewife to
be able to gratify our readers with an account from
the expedition under Sir SAMUEL. Aucasturav,
which, with other picked corps, carried out that
matchlefs regiment the 4.oth, from a very valaable
correfpondent.

The 69th Regiment is faa recruiting its ftrength
in Ireland. The 68th, which the other day came
home a paled Ikeletort from theWeß Indies, is now
recruiting its ftrtngth again in Durham, its native
county. _ _

None of the ad battalions has been more fuccefs.
ful in completing its numbers than that of the 18th
or Royal Trills Regiment. This battalion having
upwards of t too men. is at prefent in Guernfey and
will be fit for any farvice : the tlt battalion is in

[amaica.

Recent report fays, that that ditlingniffied officer,
Major General SPENCER, is likely to be very loon
ailively employed, and that Lieutenant General
Mooas is to be placed at the head of the Mediterra-
nean Army, which it is raid will fpeedily commence
:Hive operations.

We have heard that among other regiments to be
employed in a force about to be collated, the t 3th,
and 89th regiment, commanded by Lord BLA ym EY,
are certainly to go. We have like wife heard men-
tioned the Bth Foot, or King' Own, commanded by
the gallant Colonel How; 'from, who it is Paid will
have the rank of Brigadier, under Sir AarHua
WILLI scar.

We have, at length, the fatisfaelion of anconn-
cing the arrival of difpatches from Lord Hurcmix-
so*. BASMICO, the long•expe&ed Mellinger, ar-

- A continuation of our eztrt&c from the Paris
Journals will be found in our laft a/e. The fpeeches
of our Members of Parliament (tilt continue to be a
theme for political difquifitions among the French
Journalifts.
Intelligence, of feveral days later date than that
contained in the official difpatches. has been received
from the Rio de la Plata. On Wednefday the Santa
Maria, a Portuguefe veffel, arrived in the Downs
from donte Video, after a paffage of feventy-feven
days. At the time fhe failed, the Britifh continued
in poffeffion of the harbour and town of Maldonado.
The Meta of the Santa Maria reports, that, on the
s tilt of January, he was boarded in lat. 6.40. North,
lone. 25. Weft, by the Nereide frigate, who had tin-
der her convoy eight fail of tranfports. four of them
very large, with reinforcements for Buenos Ayres.
The Nereide was informed by the Santa Maria, of
the recapture of that Settlement.
It would appear from the following letter, that the
Spaniards were fo elated by their late fuccefs againft
General BIRRSFORD, as to meditate the expultion of
the Britif:i from Maldonado.
Extra& of a letter from Monte Video to a Mer-
chant in the City, dated Nov. at, 18-6:
" The Englifh having loft poffeffi n of Buenos
Ayres, and having been repulfed in an attack upon
Monte Video, have landed about 3000 forces at the
village of Maldonado. There are lying in the harbour
at ibis
,time four men of war, two frigates, two brigs,
and feveral tranfports. They have cut off all inter-
cootie between this place and Buenos Ayres. Com-
merce is entirely fufpended ; no one will enter into
trade ; the purfuit of all ranks is aims. We are
preparing to diflodge the Britifh from Maldonado.
and the probability is that we 'hall fucceed. The
enemy annoy us beyond meafure, and keep us its
continual alarm by conftantly erisizing in she river.
Our hatred againft the Englifh, on account of their
cot.due at Buenos Ayres, is implacable. No Eng.
lifh goods ate (offered to be landed or confumed here
on any account whatever. No American is allowed
to trade with u., becaufe we will not afford an op •
portunity to the Englifh to impofe themfelves upon
us as natives of that country. Until the 7th init.
this On was entirely (hut. This day a Proclama-
tion is iftued, ordering all foreign veirels to depart
from hence within the fpace of twenty days, and it
is in confequence that the Santa Maria is difpatched."

FRANCE.

PARIS, JANUARY is.

The Itioniinir, commenting on the fpeech of Mr.
Carmine., on the motion fat the Addrefs at the open-
ing of the Parliament, has the.-tollowing Note on
the exprellion—t. It was the obvious policy of Eng-
land to unite the divided parts of the Fall confede-
racy, and endeavour to produce an energetic whole."
" Such is the prlicy of England—ate third coalition
was overthrown, and already the Englifh Miniliers
laboured to unite its scattered members to form a
fourth. The nations who have fern their fields and
habitations ravaged, the P; inces who have feen their
thrones overturned, the mothers who have wept for
their children who fell in the field of batt!e, mull at-
tribute their calamities only to Et land. It is not
with its guld, but with its blood, that Europe pays
for the filwar and the fpiccs it receives from the mo-
nopoly of England. It is for the prefervation of this
monopoly that whole generations are devoted to
tronble-And-tnifery. The interelt of other nations is
peace, the intereft r f England is war. England is,
then, the common enerhy of nations, this confe-
quencerefults from her own confeffion."

On the obfervation, " Certainly Hanover was not
the only canfe of war between France and Pruf-
fia, and l‘liniiters ought to have forefeet) that the al-
liance of the latter nation might one day be ufeful to
them," there is this note: " It cannot be denied that
this paragraph contains a great truth. The machia.
velifm of the Englilh Cabinet is here tloically dif-
played. Of all the alliances on the Continent which
was in faEt molt advantageDns to the commerce, of
England, it was that of Prullia! What fignified it
to Englaild ihat the French were at Vienna ? the
Erns, the Wefer, the Elhe, and the Villula, were
not the lets her tributaries ; but when the French
armies are at Berlin, the Ems, the Wefer, the Elbe,
and the Viitula, ate Om againfl her, by a powerful
hand, which the cannot remove. _

" This truth did not efcape France. She knew
well that the North was among her fire intrells,
while Italy and the South was only among her fecund
—and if her policy appeared favourable to Pauflia,
it was becaufe it was direEted by other confiderarions
—it was becaufe the was fill more eminently inter.
efled in the maintenance of the Ottoman empire ; an
objeCt which if we extend our views to futurity, is of
more importance to France than her ditcuffions with
England ; than the Cape, Surinam, Malta, or even
the Indies ; an (Neel, in fine, which has long been
the polar far of the politics of France. For many
years the Porta ha. Coffered, and confided her fuffer-
ings to the Powers which the confidered as her true
friends. Ruffia oppreffes her ; Raffia injures her on
every fide ; the every where lows (edition and
revolt. The Servians are paid and encouraged by
her, as were the Wallachians and Moldavians. She
marches filently, but in a direetion ever conflant, to
the fovertignty cf Connantinople. She has alarmed
all vigilant Cabinets, and confequently thatof Paris as
much or more than any other, as it has a more emi-
nent intact' in watching over the affairs of the Eatl.
Every other motive, even the with to give a fatal
blow to England in the North, mull be made to yield
to confederations cf fuch importance. The Cabinet
of London has not ken the whole extent of the in-
jury it did to itfelf ; and has given a proof of the
moft complete folly in exciting Prutlia to war. It
will prove it fill more, if by deflroying the Turkifh
flag, and violating the Bolphorusi it thall concur to
the annihilation of a flate,the deflration of which will
be more hurtful to England than to any other Go-
vernment ; fence, in fine, England who has not troops
enough to maintain herfelf in America, certainly has
not enough to render herfelf Miflrefs of thofe central
pofitions, the poffeffion of which mull boner or later
annihilate the commerce of her diftant ettabliffiments.
But fuch confederations muff efcape an oligarchical
and tumultuous Government, which facrifices every
thing to the intereft of the moment. We repeat it,
it is of much lef importance to France to injure her
principal ercmy by thut.ing the North againft Eng-
land ,than to pi eferve a power which was, as it were,
placed between the Porte and Rutlia. If the fiett
intereft of F: ante was to maintain Conflantinople, it
is, alto at the prefent, the frit intereft of England.
We will fay no more on this fobjeat ; it would re-
quire a volume to explain this text. We mull refer,
with refpea to it, to the events which (hall take place
ten years hence. In a word, the imminent danger
of Contlantinople brings France and England nearer
together. Whoever fees differently is thort lighted."
On the obfervation of Mr. Canning, that a great
Ilatefman had laid, he defended the country, at a dif.
tance, the following remark is made:
In this cafe, this great tlatefman very ill ful-
filled his intention. He did not provide well for the
internal defence of England, and it his fucceffors do
not defend it better at a ditlance, the affairs of that
country are not in a goe&potition. The Englifh
Idiniflers, no doubt, fee on foot the coalition to de-
fend England at a dillance, and France was eater-.
nally aggrandized. On the fame principal they ex.
cited the fourth coalition, and France feized on the
countries defined to be the theatre of the diftart
defence of England. The fall of Pruffia taught
them at what importance that power was to them.
England, the auxiliary of Raffia, thought (he law in
that power an infroment which the might employ
as the pleated, while the was herfelf the tool of that
power ; while by renewing the war, (he prepared the
circurntlances Ruflia waited for to feize on the empire
Confantinople. Should it fall, its fall will have
fuch fatal confeciliences, that even the fall of Pruflia
could not equal them. It mill then be Peen, when it
is too late„, that England will have ruined her finan
cei, haVe (heel torrents of blood; and expofed herfelf
to the greateli calamities, to reduce a !aft crifis hill
More fatal to her than all the former.
• " Every man orfenfe who will read the papers
"relative to the negociation, that have been pnblithed,
will lie 'convinced, Plat "England, While talking of
rwt, thought only of war—drat the had not yet per-
ceiied that France, under the fourth dynafly, is very
different from what the.was under the third ; that it
is tiEne .to return to the common law of nations; to
be modcaatetnli44 right to let:la& moderation,
_to become equitarle, to chtirn the advantages of eqni-
ey ; in fine, that it i, only by peace that France,who
has aggrandized herfelf from year to year, can be
vrevanted from igl-4randizing herfelf (till more.
s If we read the diplomatic notes iffued by the
.I.7tench Minithy) for feveral yetis pail, vic than fie

that they have always foretold the refults Which
events have produced. _ _

The obilinacy of the Cabinet of London, the
blindnefs with which it is fir.uck by its patli-ms, all
its falfe fpeculatinns, which argue narrow and feeble
minds, are all evident figns of its decline. If the Ca-
pitalilis of the Continent, who have placed their con-
fidence in England, do not perceive it, they can only
blame thcmfelves for the total ruin which awaits
them."—Moniteur.
