LINES,

ON HEARD* A GENTLEMAN, AT A PUBLIC ANNIVER.
SARY, RECITE, FOR THE TENTH TIMM, THE DEFEAT
AND DOWNFALL OF BONAPARTE.

Astride his neighing charger, see F • • • • !
He comes, without a trumpeter or herald;
Nor herald nor a trumpeter he wants,
Bet boldly in the lists his prowess vaunts;
No longer bolster'd by his grand Allies,
(" To' IMPIRIAL ALEXANDERS, GRIAT 111 wise!")
He, " without fear or wit," yet " proud of heart,"
Defies to mortal combat BONAPAaT&;
" And while he makes the general cause his own,
" The blood-nurs'd Damon tremblei on his throne!"
Ten times he has met him on the hostile plain,
And more than three times " thrice has slain the slain!'
Could Swede or Spaniard like F • • • • fight,
The whole of Europe would be sav'd this night ;
The vile disturber of the world's repose
Would feel the force of their repeated blows-.-
Would sorely feel (with truth it may be spoken)
His bones, without a metaphor, all broken I
Hear me, then, Spaniard, Austrian, Swede, and Turk !
Like our undaunted Bard, begin the work ;
Like him, strike home--at =VIC your forces levy—
And be your strokes as keen, if not as heavy I

Arrived the MARINER gun brig from the Nore.—
Sailed the Lord Eldon hired ship for Portsmouth ;
and the ORESTUS, Captain LEPENOTIERE, for Vigo,
with a fleet of light transports, to bring away the
French prisoners who surrendered to the VENUS and
LIVELY frigates : orders are giverrat Mill Prison, and
at Dartmoor, to prepare for their reception. Rear
Admiral HARVEY yesterday afternoon struck his flag
on board the NESE frigate, and set off for town in
a chaise and four. Arrived the Apolonia cartel from
Morlaix, to which place she carried over several
French prisoners from this place. Admiral Ducac-
wourn's squadron, in Cawsand Bay, are getting ready
with all possible dispatch, and are expected to sail to.
morrow.

A wanton act of cruelty was perpetrated on Mon-
day last in Cawsand Bay, by a marine, who dis-
charged his musket at a poor old waterman, in his
boat, at a considerable distance from the ship ; the
ball went through the poor man's knee, and out at
the side of the boat. The culprit was immediately
secured, and put in irons. Another piece was dis-
charged from the same ship, at a boat in which there
were two tradesmen, belonging to this town ; the ball
narrowly missed one of them, and went through a
package of clothes.

SIR JOHN MOORE.

Mr. ABERCROMBIE rose, pursuant to notice,
to move for the General Orders issued by Sir J. Moore
to the army in Spain. The principal object was to en-
able the House to judge more impartially, than it could
at present do, of the circumstances of the retreat with
re,pect to which the character of the Gallant Officer
had been called in question more than upon any other
occasion. The orders were three--the first issued at
Sahagrn ; the second at Benevento ; and the third at
Astorga ; together with two other orders referred to
•in these orders. The production of these was impor-
tant also with a view to the discussicn that was to take
place on the subject of the conduct of affairs in Spain.
He could not imacrisne there would be anrobjection
to the production i 4 these papers from any hwonve-
nience resulting fr mr their publicity, because they
were in their nature ; had been read at the
heads of regiments, and enterectin the orderly hooks.
Some of them were in circulation ; and he was told
that one -or two had been published in the News-
papers.
Lord CASTLEREAGH had every desire to do
justice to the memory of Sir John Moore, but it was
not necessary with that view !o assent to the motion.
He objected to it on two grounds, first, he was not
certain that the execnrLive government had the means
of producing the papers in question—and 2dly, it was
improper in point of prudence, without some very
strong and particular reiton, tft grant this species of
it Cr ;unto;, ht a.lopt a
information, because
different tone in orders to his army. from what he
would do if lie knew that such orders were to become
the.,tibjec tof Parliamentary discussion. The 'foun-
dation of any argument as to a w Ant of discipline
the army during its retreat, was laid in the extract
from the last dispatch of Sir John Moore. It was not
accessary to hurt the feelings of the army. The corn-
parative want of discipline was attributable neither to
the army nor to the Commander, but was occasioned
by the peculiar circumstances in which they were
placed.
General TARLETON observed, that the Govern-

anent had the means of producing these papers, for
• .hey had only to send the order of the House to.the Ad-

had existed, hnd that Officers Were in the habits of)
making these declarations without considering them
as dishonourable. He thought the only way to ob-
viate these clandestine bargains for more than the
regulated price, was to' aise it.
HUSKJSSON, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHE-
QUER, Mr. ROSE, and Mr. THORNTON, combated this
opinion, and supported the clause, which was agreed to.
The remaining clauses were then gone through,
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought up an
additional clause, inflicting a fine upon persons adver-
tising, or piocuring the advertisement of any office,
&c. for the sale, &c. of places ; the penalty to be not
more than 5001. or less than 501. Another clause
making the keeping of such office for the sale of
places, &c. a misdemeanor.
The Report was ordered to be received on Monday
next.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 9.

Arrived his Majesty's ship PREVOYANTE, from the
Mediterranean. Sailed his Majesty's ship ALFRED
for the Downs. His Majesty's ship FREDERICKSTEIN,
with the Expedition for Portugal, put into Yarmouth
Roads yesterday evening. The SUCCESS frigate, Capt.
AYSCOUGII, is under orders for the Mediterranean.
The East-India ships, for Bombay, Ceylon, Ma-
dras, and Bengal, lying at the Motherbank, expect
to sail in the course of this week.
YARMOUTH, APRIL 9.

Sailed the RUBY, 64 guns • DRAKE sloop, and
BRuIZER gun-brig. Arrived the ARIEL and ONYX
sloops of war, nations and HAVOC gun-brigs, with a
frigate built at Leith, under jury masts, and remain
with the Roebuck and Vixen.—Wind S. E.

This morning the dividends commenced paying at
the Bank of England ; where the 1000 whole tickets,
to be given next Wednesday morning, are deposited,
and will be given to the fortunate holder of the first-
drawn Prize above 151.

The following assertion has often challenged,
and still challenges all refutation—That there is no
ether mode of adventure, by which above a thousand
fold is to be so suddenly gained by so small a sum, as
that which is risked in a State Lottery. Wednesday
next will present several illustrations of the fact.

Should there ever be another Lottery, it will not
be in the power of the Contractor to give such im-
portant advantages. Wednesday next will disperse
rimy Prizes of great magnitude among Fortune's fa-
vourites. 1-loas-sny and Co. intreat the Public to
partake of part of the Twenty or Ten Thousand
Pounds Prizes, which they purpose to vend (as
usual) among those who honour them with their
commands, at either of their Old Established State
Lottery Offices, 26, Cornhill, or St. Margaret's-hill,
Borough, and no where else on their account in
London.

T. BISH respectfully reminds his friends, that the
drawing of the Lottery begins on Wednesday next,
and as there will be 5,000 Tickets drawn that day,
it will be necessary for the Commissioners to begin
early ; of course, those who wish to have a chance
for the immense Prize of One Thousand Whole
Tickets, which is attached to the first Prize drawn
above £l5 on Wednesday next, should lose no time,
as there are doubts whether every Ticket and Share
will not be disposed of before Wednesday morning.
At present, Tickets and Shares are to be had, in
great variety, at 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing Cross.
One Half of the Capital Prizes in the last Lottery
was sold in Shares (including Two Prizes of Twenty
'Thousand Pounds) by Sir JAMES BRANSCOMB and
Co. at their Lucky Offices, 37, Cornhill, 11, Hol-
born, 38, Haymarket, and 269, Strand.—lt is sup-
posed by the Public, that the Whole of the Capital
Prizes (which are unusually numerous) in the present,
Lottery, which commences drawing next Wednesday,
will likewise be sold at the above Lucky Offices ; as,
for the last three days, those Offices have been un-
usually thronged by the Votaries of Fortune.

SPAIN.

The ship Fame has arrived at Falmouth from
Cadiz. She left the latter place on the 21st ult. at
which time CUESTA'S head-quarters were At Mania.
nares in La Mancha. The Catalonian army corn
manded by Albuquerque had joined CUESTA's ai rr. v
at Tarraboaa. Their force is stated at 50,000 in(
high health and spirits, and animated with the mc•st
fervent ze.,l nd devotion for their country.
We hive received other accounts from Spain in
Dutch papers which have come to hand.

The refusal to at'rn't t' e Bri'ish truups into
Cadiz is very naturally made the suSject of ex t -
Lion by the enemy. PALAfrOX is II,:t ee Id, as was
reported, and it is probable that the French have
altered their intentions with respect to him, since we
are told, that he is to proceed to Nancy from Bayonne
under the escort of a single Officer. These papers
say, that the defeat of the corps of REDING by Ge-
neral ST. CYR is confirmed, and that the latter has
advanced to the walls of Valencia. Marshal VICTOR
(Duke of Belluno), it is added, was to hstve passed
the Tagus on the 16th ult. at or near Almania, to
cut off the Insurgents (as they are insultingly callcd)
under the command of CLTESTA. Some particular;
are mentioned with regard to Gen: al ROMANA, v hich
are so manifestly erroneous as not to deserve the least
attention,

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
'HE great public principle on which I have been'

TI induced to hope for your support, in the arduous contest in
which I am engaged, being, I trust, fully understood, I should
have waited in respectful silence for your decision on a point so
essential to your interests, and at case same time so important to
myself; but I cannot delay to express my gratitude for the almost
unexampled and spontaneous promises of support ay:deb I have
received throughout my canvas, which are such lit to give me
very confident hopes as to the result. I regret as much as ary
man that this contest should have been delayed until within ore
week of the election, but I hope it cannot be imputed to me,
when it is recollected that I waited in deference to your Court of
Directors, and in expectation of their usual recommendation
(which, under the present peculiar circumstances, was looked to
with much anxiety) until the very last moment prescribed by your
bye-laws for candidates to declare themselves, and after which
the Proprietors could have had no choice at the present election ;
and it is besides highly detrimental to my interest, inasmuch as
it prevents the accomplishment of my earnest wish, personally
to explain my motives to every individual Proprietor.
My pretensions for a seat in the Direction basing already re-
ceived the approbation of more than one thousand Proprietors,
I trust it is only necessary for me to rept at my assurances that
I am elected you shall find me a diligent and conscientious servant.
1 have the honoar to be, Lathe.; and Genslemen,
Your most obedient servant,
kOBERT WILLIAMS.

SIR JOHN DUCK WORTH.

The VIL: T 7)E. PAMS left CaJiz on the 21st ult. ler
the Mediterf.inean. Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH'S squ.t-
dron had been at Cadiz, before the Fame left that
place. He quitted it on the 17th tat. and it was under-
stood meant to proceed to the West kJ: ,s in pnr.lit
of the French saps now known t i be at Rochefort.

It is extremely probable that Sir JOHN may receive
information from some British cruizer, which ni y
prevent his pursuing so fruitless a cruize. We km ,v
that in the Government Offices hopes are enterta:ned
that the gallant Admiral will soon be at Plyniotab.
Orders have in consequence been sent to the IClig's
pilot at that port, to be on the look out for his ships.

THE ARMY.

Major-General PAYNE'S Brigade of Heavy Horse
sailed for Portugal on Saturday. It consisted of the
3d Dragoon Guards, commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel Sir GRANDBY CALCRAFT, and of that fine
regiment, the 4th Dragoons, commanded by Lieute-
nant-Colonel Lord EDWARD SOMERSET. Though not
highly dressed, these are two of our most serviceable
regiments in the field, and, no doubt, will distinguish
themselves whenever they meet an enemy. A consi-
derable body of artillery, with guns and stores, sailed
with General PAYNE'S Brigade.
Two more Brigades of Heavy Horse, and the Hus-
sar Brigade, are expected to be shortly embarked.
A brigade of the Foot Guards, and some brigades
of marching regiments, will likewise soon be sent.
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, General STEWART, and
their suites, with Colonel MURRAY, and the rest of
the Staff, yesterday left town for Portsmouth, whither
Lieutenant FITZCLARENCE has likewise gone ; this
young hero goes out on the Staff.

PORTUGAL.

The Dispatch packet has arrived at Falmouth in

From these it appears, that the French were
inz in some force to re-occupy Portugal, and,
more alarming that they had paved their way
a,,lv corrupting some of the officers by whom
rc to have been opposed. The perfidy of the
Lr,d,T at Braga having been discovered by the
peasantry, armed with pikes, attacked
i.larters, and put their General and his Aid-de-
death. One of his secretaries, who was also
y wounded in this assault, lived long enough
:ss the treachery that had been practised. •
Portuguese proceeded to meet the French, who
advancing, attacked them with great ardour,
dc;',:ated their advanced party ; but it is feared
... the treachery of the Commanders may al-
have given the enemy decided advantages in
movements, for at Oporto all was in alarm when
List accounts came away ; the French were ex-
acted on the following day, and great apprehensions

icared would not be able to get out, owing to
