COURT-MARTIAL ON COLONEL• QEJENTIN.

•
Colonel PALMER rose to give notice, that it was
his intention again to bring forward the subject of
the papers relating to the Court Martial on Colonel
' Quentin, in consequence of a certain paper, which he
held in his hand, having reflected on his statements
in the House, and, te believed, by authority. Wish-
i •
ng to obtain a full attendance, he should also move
for a call of the House, previous to his motion, which
he intended to bring on soon after the Recess.
REFUGEES AT GUERALTAR.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that he rose for the put-
pose of producing the correspondence which had pas.
bed, in or abode May last, between the Britkli Con-
sul at Cadiz, the Spanish Commandant, the Gover-
nor of Gibraltar, and the. Secretary for the Colonial
Department ; and by which certain Spanish subjects
were most inhumanly delivered tip to the Govern-
ment that demanded them. Eiery body regretted
the return of affairs in Spain ; and every one despised
the ingratitude of the Monarch who now filed ,the
Boone of that country, as evinced in his conduct to

the brave patriots, who alone had preserved thean.
thority which he so much abused. It was between the
night of the 10th and 11th of May, .11414, that seve-
ral of the patriots of Spain were dragged from their
homes to prison;, and others pursued in every direc.
tion—but some had the good fortune to reach Eng-
land, in spite of the active interference of Sir James
Duff—(ficar, Agar.) Those who were taken, how-
ever, had. the consolation of being tried, by three
Judges, who had been, ompletely in opposition to the
patriot cause—namely, by Vilella, Mina, and another,
who was the' Police Judge to Joseph Bonaparte.,
Ore of the victims of Ferdirtand, the Marquis Mat.
' Larissa who also had knight for the throne which his
Royal Master so unworthily filled, was chased into
;he Asturias, from thence to Lisbon, and though he
had happily got safe to England, it cost the life of
,his excellent and Venerable'mother, who died un4er
the Appychension of her sou's expected rate. •Happdy
it was that he reached England, instead of taking re-
fuge in Gibraltar, where he would 'have beeri

That Monarch bad.'unfortunately for his subject!,
leatritio lessons from adveesity, no kindness for others
teen from the treatment he hides'lf eitterienced whet
in the custody of his foe. Ferdinand was aniseed
every comfort of life, though a prisoner; but his vie.
rims Were immured in the duageons of despotism,
where they remained ill-ted, excluded from the com-
mon privileges of light and air ; and, if he was not
misinformed on this head, even the occasional open-
ing of the doors of their cells, in order to admit a mo-
mentary breath of air, had lately bent prohibited:—
Two persons had, under these circumstances, fled
from Cadiz to Gibraltar. But they were no incen-
diaries—neither of them had participated in publish-
ing the scandalous productions attributed to them,
though one, indeed, Coria, had- the misfortune of
knowing the Spanish Editor, who aspersed our army
at St. Sebastian. His companion 411 flight, certainly,
did pot forth a work, entitled TiecirefeingiVe Ufmadid•
which, no doubt, constituted the very front of bit
offence, the greatest Of crimes—(EeaP, hear, hear)
Of these unfortunate; perions,•Otie,'he. beard, wait
leased, but the other stilningered it !noon. As this
was not the *very first time that a:Governor of Gi-
braltar had given up persons to the. Spaoish.Gorefe- i
aunt, there was the greater necessity for the preduc-I,
tion of the correspondence hi question, and for the
House to upress its detestation of the proieedi eg.—
(Hear.) Now Sir James Duffrhadooade himself the
*active instrument of the Spanish, Government.-; he
had gone so far eis to make the masters of vessels,
about to sail for Cadiz, eat an OitlP Wit they had no
Spaniards on board. He had tilted.' last' May,
whether the report ot the delivering up .of the Spanidi
subjects at Gibraltar was trust..? and it .was denied;
and yet, on the 24th ot July fellowing,',Lord Bathurst
reproved General Smith for the 'act. (Mee, hiar;)
The very same question was repeated by; hiM this
present Session, awl even now. his Majesty's- Miniattes
could not recollee. the - transaction; ; but the •Itiht
Hon. Gentleman suddenly goes to consult his col-
leagues, and then confesses the sin of ignorance, by
acknowledging the whole. (Hear, hear.) England
was suspected to have supported the proceeding, in
the persons ot an Ambassador and a General ; he de-
precated such an interference. since if we could not
interfere for good, we ought, at least, to abstain from
any interference of 'art. opposite kind. He should,
therefore, move for t':e Correspondence of the British
Consul at Cadiz, in May last, together with the pro-
Lctedings of the Governor of Gibraltar thereon ; and
also tor the Ccrrespondencobetween General Smith
and Lord Bathurst, relating to the same..
The CHANCELLOR of thy, EXCHEQUM
disclaimed the idea of his Majesty's isliniiters
being at all implicated in the object of the Ho
nourable Geiviemaii's motion, being-, on their part,
prepared. to communicate such information as would
affui .1 a complete view of the present proCcediugs to
the House. He had only to consider the motioa as
affectilig the conduct of Lord Bathurst, who, by his
letter, dated July 24, 1814, had cautioned Gentral
51111:11 JpiaSt any recurrence to the practice of giving
up pei suns taking refuge in Gibraltar, net being
ellari4ed with murder, without first consulting the
Government at home or at leaat.commeLicating with
the Ambassador at Madrid. Central Smith had Io
consequence stated the occasion of his *ink tql•the
, ref ugees, conformably with the directi'm of Sir James
Duff. who, in turn, had been influenced by the re-
monstrances of the Spanish Commanaant. Sir James
Duff never had intended to give up such persons as
happened to seek refuge in Gibraltar; but merely to
caution General Smith against harbouring, them.—
Among those who resorted there, however, arid this
uaskr false names, were discovered the Auther of
1 he laquieltioa,Thasasied, and Lopez, the fabricator of
the repeated calumnies against the British Army, and
Curia, charged with abetting the same. All
these individuals had entered the garrison of - Gi-
traitor without the Governor's . permissioa, and
being thus discovered and detained till morning,
were claimed by the Governor of Cadiz, to whom'
they Were surrendered as a matter of- course.—,
General Smith not having it the time been .more
than three weeks in command of the garrison. of
Gibraltar, had concluded it proper for haul to.act-oo
the acknowledged customs, of the place; :hot the in-
structions he had lately-received from Lotd Bathurst
would prevent the neceoity 1.. r any future motion of
this description. No yet of oppression Wast made out.
He did not say that General Smith wasi justified itt
what he had done, except in point of precedent: no
doubt, he should have dismissed. the persons taking
refuge. But its they were f atild in the garrison with-
out any permission fri-in the Governor of Gibraltar.'
and under false nan...,s, was the House' prepared tee
say, that no extenuation accompanied theact of.
giving them up ? Gibraltar; as he lateirobserved,:
stood in the relation to Spain, that the Isle of Wight,
supposing it to be in the 'possession of an enemy.,
stood to England.' Were we to make Gibraltar 'a,
deer of thieves ? It was not beeofning for us to has.
hour in Gibraltar persons offensive to the Govern.
anent of Spain—(Hear, Hear, from the Opposition,
Benches).—He would :inert. that.no act of oppress,
sign had been made out. nothing at which the Go-:
'vernment of this country had connived; but that the
slightest approach to it had been inunediatoir re-
proved, must be evident to the House: ,••••,:: •,
Sir JOHN NEWPORT expressed his abhorrent*
of the Measures pursued by the SpanishGovernkniaki
Mr. W. POLE concurred in every word whiclebett
fallen from the Honourable Gentletrian opposite (My;
Whitbread). His Majesty's Ministers wished to total
the earliest opportunity of stating that they were not,
parties to the measures of the-Spanish Government:
He had passed ten dais at Madrid in the ccurse of
last summer, and he would assure the House that
the Ambassador at that Court had done every thing
-in his power so prevent the measures which had at-
tracted so much public attention. He knew the can-
dour of the Honourable Gentleman, and felt court!.
dent that he wag well enough acquainted with the
blood of that Ambassador, to allow that he was not
likely to lend the sanction of his name to such pro-
ceeclings, . .
Mr.li/HITBREA.D had but one or two observa.
dons to make on the subject. If General Smith was
justified in giving up the individuals in question, why
had not the Count Torino beeit given

quisition of the Count Fernando Nunes? *. There had
been a brother of the Der of Algiers at one time in

There is no ground 'whatever for the assertion
Made in foreign Papers, that gi the chief partisans and
"former confidants of Napoleon are in Paris, and hold
stcret Meetings:" The truth is, that almost all those
, Ministers and Counsellors of Bonaparte who are not
-teontinued in office by the present Government, left the.
Capital at the beginning of the Summer, where, ac-
cording to the Parisian fxthicits, they pass the fine
season, particularly Oteslatieresid.of Autumn. But,.
~to . judge by the peperarlatu: in. heir Hotels, it is

jectured that none of these Gentlemen would refuse
a place that was offered him,' and that ,at the spirit
which. animates the Government is quite different
from what it was, they would act in a very different,
i manner. • • • •
The Duke of Bassano (Maret) hies at Dijon, with
'his family. At the late visit of the Court D'Artois
to th.tt city, he waited on the Prince, who received
him with great, affability; and conversed a quarter Of
an hour w;th him. The Duchess of Balsam) was
also presented to the Prince, and well received.

The Duke of Rovigo (Savory) has resided for
some months past on his estate, and seldom comes to
town. He spend: most of his time in the chace.—
The Duke of Vicenza has resided, since the begin-
ning of the summer, at the chateau of Caulaincourt,
in Normandy. Several of his friendi live with him.
He haslately married the Countess Canesy, one of
the most beautiful and interesting ladies of the late
Imperial Court, and formerly Lady of Honour to the
Empress Josephine. They say ht is composing a
memoir, in which he intends to give important infor-
mation concerning the arrest of the Duke of Eng.
hien, which certain connections have hindered from
publishing till now; and that the Ernreror of Russia,
to whom he has communicated this information has
appreciated it, apd acquitted him of all blame. •

The Bourbons, on the other hand, are asserted to
be most incensed against him, because he had an op.
portunity to fawn* the escape of the Dike, op the
way from Strasburg to Nancy, and declined doing so.
It is affirmed that the Duke of Wellington made
Complaints of the sallies of ,everal Paris Journals
against the English' on the destruction of Washing-
ton ; for IA hich he blamed tie G. T.!rnment, becatise
the Journals are under its immediate influ:nce, by
means of the Censor. Several notes are said to have
been exchanged on the subject bete. ecn the Duke of
Wellington and the M.nister (ad interim) for Foreign
Affairs. The result-was, the dechration in the frieri
*dinar*" that this was the only official Journal," and ,
the defence of ;he conduct of the English in Ame-
rica, inserted in the Gazette de !.rare, which was
drawn up in the style of a half-official reprimand.—
So the affair was finishef.

In these negotiations.- the French Minister is said
to have noticed the violent paragraphs in several
English newspapers against the Frtrch Crw,rnment
and nation, which the I)Am-of-Wellington acknow.
ledged to be blameable, bet said they west to he
excused on the ground of the Libetty.of te Press
t
which existed in England.-
The con:iplaints of the Swed:sh Minister, on ac-
count of the frequent sallies aga:nu Jlie Crown Prince,
in French papers, are said to have been frnitlees.'

papers, that 5Jt) of the British army bierslive!t4o to

Two or three days afterwards, the tain4.Sti con,
tradicted its own statement, and me that in.
all from three, to four hundrtd had deserted at dif-
=ferent times, from whom General Maeosta 'bought
their arms, and then recommended the men to go
into the interior. This circumstance, the Editor says,
was what gave rise to the report Of LOO detaining in
a body.

While on the subject of d:•sertere, it may not be
improper to notice a measure recommended-by a Mr.
Flax, a Member of Congress, as well adapted to se-
cure victory aver the British. He proposed a legisla-
tive provision for bribing our soldiers to desert, by
offering each deserter a hundred acres of public
lands!—Were arguments wanting to shew that it is
cruel to curtail the territory of the United States, the
excellent uses to which it may be applied, under the
Fiskian system, would suffice to convince the most
incredulous.

It appears that the remonstrances of this Govern-
ment, respecting the protection and succour given to
American vessels, especially armed ships, in French
ports, has been productive of an important change—
Letters from Paris, received yesterday, state that
some American %et-chant vessels having been refused
admission into the ports of France, and the impedi-
ment being continued, on the occasion of the arrival
of a Republican ship, called the Neptune, off Brest,
Mr. CRAWIORD interposed. He stated to the French
Ministerahe embarrassment to which the nation he
represented was exposed by such unexpected obstruc-
tions, which were wholly unknown.amon. g friendly

4)soWers, and,lte demanded that.the teasel should be
'aidolitted to enter the hatbour. The application was
ineffectoal, and the. ill success of it was attributed u
the interference of the British Ambassador, who, n
appe'ars, had laid some complaints before the Court.
as to the conduct of the Masters of American ships.
and as to the assistance they had received in the French
ports to the annoyance of.the British trader.
Another circumstance is also communicated in the
same letters. For the purpose of restoring, with every
diplomatic advantage, the commerce between France
and America, a ship.bad been engaged. by Govern-
ment to take out a number of Colssuls and other
Agents, under the new relations] of the Republic
with Lows the Eighteenth. In consequence of the
subsisting blockade, and the character of the hostility
of his Court towards America, the. British AnOiassa-
,-dor signified-to the French Government that it would
not be at present useful that these functionaries should
be employed in the United States : in consequence
the vessel whiCh was to have conveyed them has been
stopped, and orders have been issued that they do not
proceed to their destination until further instructions
be given.
The above statement serves to explain the follow-

Saturday last s
• " MILFORD, NOVEMBER 16.

" Arrived the Mitterve, Barry, from I.anzerotte for Dublin.
There is a French pilot of board, who stues that be was carried
to sea, together with his boat, in the True-blooded Yankee Ame-
rican privateer; that she was ordered to quit the French shoe',
or she woold be taken possession of by some gene trusses' as in
future no Americans would be allowed to victual and rebtin the
French ports. The order from the French Government, it seems,
was of such a nit ure es to Induce the master.( the Tree-blooded
Yankee to cut his cable and get away with all haste ;
and after having sunk the poor pi otleboat at 'sea,tr ti2irley means
of support fur himself and family, they put him an board the
Mine; va, she brat vessel they fell in with, witleb they plundered
of ev,ry Article of value, including ptovisidns, clothes, Ate. and
nonspelled the master to sigh a paper, purportini that it was a
voluntary gill of Ids."

I Last nights variety of interesting topics came un-
der
discussion in the House of O,lllMOls. On. the
subject of dielwesent state of oqr politi;al relations
with King Joacsuie of Naples, Ministers abstained
from comMitting themselves. With respect to Spain,
it will give our lte&ders much pleastire to learn that
our ,An.bassador at Madrid, and our Ministers at
home, utterly disclaim all .participation in the dis-
graceful conduct pursued by FIBROLWAND since his re-
turn to Dladrid. The restoration of the Inquisition,
for instance, was made the subject of an express re.
rrionstranor, the pan of Sir H. Wll4. LiBLEY ; and
the seirlre of certain individuals, at Cadiz and Gib-
raltar, w‘is -notice.l by Ministers as at variance with
rl•eir dispositionslowards the inhabitants of Spain.
We.linve already noticed the report that the Duke
(.1 WIe4III9TON was about.to return_fiosn Pans. It
i now said, that Lord Haanoway will be his Grace's
speeessor. This change will, accordingue-the same
tumour, bring Lord MULGRAVII from the Board of 'I
Ordn ante to the Presidentship of 'the Council, vice
lord Hmtecsvir ; and the Duke of Watmozon, in
that event, is spoken of as the new Master General
of the Ordnance.

Parliament is expected to adjourn about the 10th
OT December till the sth of February following:
A private letter from Paris, dated November 14
says—'5 The grounds sttited for the arrest of General
Dufour dieb that he made a very crinii,:al proposal to
ceritifitt 61t duty at the'4oor of his Majesty, and
Who hatliaChised tlie'fae.t. Afterwards, in order to
silence,this.eurnour, it ;eras given out that be had been
recruithig men for the American Government, a pro-
ceeding which the Cottit'wobld not permit. An or-
der has been, given for the Ministers 9f the Ex-Ern-
.perririts quit Paris. They have not submitted to this
order, saying that the Constitution does Mat admit of
arbitrary acts. Some days ago ball-cartridges were
elven .out• to the Guardt du Corps On duty at the
Thuilleries, and All the Colonels of regiments were in.
strutted ro obey no command di it did not come to,
them directly from the Cvnmandant of the place.
Tie Pr4..ctu ern of the Court of Cassation, M. Merlin,
ha been,
.witliia these few days, solicited, Apr ire
third or fourth tittle, to give in his resignation, pro;
atising him a considerable advancirenent for his,sot;
whir is in the ariny. M. Merlin. hos Tensed it with
courage and fineness. the KingoftNaples has writ-
ten to one of his friends in Paris, that It ;n attempt
shail be made to cljrnite• with Nth the' possession of
his Throne, he will act in such a waj that they shall
not easily send ,him to the Isle of E,16a."
TueAran, Dtturtv-LAriz.-7.Last night the lively
Comedy of. The Belle': Stratagems wits performed for 1
.the purpose;ot displaying the talents Obit:6 Wu.-
aTEIN in Comedy. The clearness of her voice, the''
ease of her manner, the delightful gaiety, without
effort, with which sl!e gave the spirited parts of the
character (Letitia Hardy), drew from a discriminating
audienc•~ the most deserved applause. In the third Act
Miss W. introduced a song, which she sung with the
utmost sweetness and effect. The Play was given out
fur repetition on Friday amid loud plaudits.
ROYAL Hoar.—On Monday the Royal Hunt took
place at Salthill, where a numerous assemblage of
sportsnien were collected. The deer was started from
a cart near East Burnham, and as soon as the hounds
got the scent, they went off with great swiftness through
the woods, to the right of Beaconsfield, where the deer
sheeted excellent sport, and continued it into Bulstrode
Park ; the hounds being frequently within 50 yards of
it, but it escaped them by leaping into a wood, :ad
crossed the Uxbridge-road, and taking to the right to-
wards Fulmer-heath, where it was at length taken,
after an excellent run of three hours. At the com-
mencement of the Hunt, a Mr. SHAW, being too eager
in leaping a high hedge, with a deep ditch un the op-
posite side, his horse fell, with Mr. SHAW under him,
and it. was feared his back was broken. An express
was sent off to Windsor for Dr. O'RiLty, and Mr.
SHAW was conveyed in a chaise to his residence in
tiatcyhetAane. •

Bow-water...4'oam. day In Information eant= on
against Mr. F. Ulr is charging him visth keepog
enabling-house, in ilnry-street, St. James's. Mr.
ARSIVAL. the Solicitor, statod, that severe indisposi-
tion prevented his auendance, to prove which los pro
duced certificates from Dr. Hooper, 'and Mr. Brand,
the apothecary. Mr. HOLLOWAY urged, that as the
proceeding was merely for a penalty, it was unneces-
sAry for the defendant to be present. The ease, how-
ever was adjourned.

Jame Clement: was fully committed, charged with
stealing Bank notes to the amount of 036, the pro-
perty of the Hon. A. Murray, at the lodging of his
Lady in Clarges-street.
On Thursday, at the sale of the furniture of the
late Judge Lawrence, in Bedford-square, Mr. Mills,
of Farringdon, purchased a lot, when lie put his hand
into his pocket, and discovered that the bottom had
been cut out, and his poacet-book gone ; he mention-
ed the circumstance, and had no doubt but it had
been done in the room • when Vaughan, one of the
Bow-street patrole, desired Mr. Mills to be quiet, and
he should be able to detect the robber, as he had seen
three suspicious persons in the room, and was about
to desire the porters to shut all the doors, when ano-
'Sher gentleman in the.room discovering that he bad
been robbed at the same instant, communicated the
circumstance to Mr. Squibb, the auctioneer, who pro.
claimed front his rostrum that there were thietes in the
MOM A scene of confusion then took place, during
which two of the suspected characters escaped.—
Vaughan secured the third, and brought him to the
Office, when he gave in his name as Hurd; but he
was recognised to have gone by the.name of Wilson,
and to have been lately in custody at Portsmouth and
Doncaster as a reputed thief.—He was remanded.
Manutonotron-sragar.—Yesterday Lloyd, against
whom so many charges of swindling have been exhi-
bited, underwent a third examination, on a charge of
obtaining a chaise from Mr. Large, coach-maker, of ,
Great Queen-street, when Mr. Paste, stable-keeper,'
of Leatlier•lane, on whose premises the chaise was
found, was admitted an evidence against him, and the
prisoner was fully committed.
QUEEN.SQUA n r.. —Yesterday Mr. Green, of Wal.
brook, exhibited a complaint against a number of
persons, who had taken possession of fourteen houses
in Great St. Ann's-lane, Westminter. It appeared
that the freehold was the property of Mr. Green's
father, who let it to a Mr. Currie, who built fourteen
houses ; after which he became a bankrupt, when
the property lying vacant, a number of persons took
possession, and let die rooms to lodgers; Mr. G. how-
ever, having bought the leases of the assignees, de.
manded possession, which was refused, the door. bar-
ricadoed, and the whole posse of inhabitants a,,s?m.
bled at the windows, setting Mr. G. at defiance ; but
assistance, being procured, the doors were forced, and
the ringleaders secured and. brought to the Office;
when Mr. Fl ELDI NG gave them a lecture, which in-
duced them to promise, that the colony shonld be eva-
cuated in two days; on which further proceedings
were stayed.

EDINBVIUM, NOVEMBER 19.—Thursday afternoiin
we had a , violent gale, which threw down some
chimney cans, but did no other damage that we have
heard of. Since the wind abated on Thursday night,
there has been an almost incessant fall of rain and
snow.

Wednesday evening, as pn old man was coming
into town with a can. in which was a young and spi-
rited horse, some mischievous boys struck the animal,
when it ran off, and at no great distance overturned
the cart. The man being unable to get clear of the
can when it overturned, tell underneath, and was most
dreadfully mangled and bruised. He is since dead.
GLASGOW, Novesneett 18.—During the whole of
yesterday, the wind blew very strong here, and in the
evening the gale encreased. In the forenoon, pair. of
a wooden erection on the top of the new building at
the cross, was blown down, and fell on the Coffee-
:lsom, with a crash, which speedily emptied the room.
Had it fallen a few feet farther to the westward, a
part of it at least must have gone through the cupola
window. A great quantity of rain tell during the
course of last night.
An effectual remedy to preT:nt Hares and Rabbits
