him was time, for ineinini Ind reflection, in order to
save him from similar failures.
Sir CHARLES HAMMOND thought from the
hour at which they were then sitting it could not he
material to the tnse of the Duke of York, whether
the information desired should be obtained from the
Noble Lord now or in the morning.
The SPEAKER suggested the form of
.a motion
in the Committee, which was a necessary preliminary
to the appointment of the Committee for examining
the letters given in by Nicholls.
This motion was put, and carried. The House
resumed ; and it was ordered, on the motion of Mr.
Wharton, that a Committee should be appointed to
examine the letters alluded to, and to report to the
House such letters, and such parts of letters, as had
any bearing upon the question referred to the consi-
deration of the Committee of the whole House.
Upon the motion of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the Committee was ordered to consist of the
following Members, three of whom are to be a quo-
rum, namely, Mr. Wardle, Mr. Williams Wynne,
Mr. Croaker, Mr. Brand, and Mr. Leac'h.
'The Committee was ordered to sit this day.
In the course of the evening the Serjeant at Arms
delivered to the Chairman of the Committee a note
from. Mr. Donovan, stating that he was so indisposed,
owing to his wound, that he could not give any evi-
dence this night, and that a surgeon was in attend-
ance to confirm the fact. The Serjeant was desired
to inform Mr. Donovan, that he would not be called
upon to-night.
Upon the motion of Lord Folkstone, Col. Gordon,
Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Donovan were ordered to be
summoned to attend as witnesses this day.—Ad-
journed.

Since the arrival of the Algesiras from Cadiz, it is
rumoured that the French party had gained the ascen-
dency in that place, and JOSEPH NAPOLEON had been
proclaimed King of Spain. Hopes were entertained,
however, that the French and Spanish line-of battle
ships in. Cadiz would be brought off, although atten-
ded with much difficulty.l

Madrid Gazettes to the (9th ult. are iil town.
They contain no military intelligence, excepting that
NAPOLEON had reviewed the whole of his principal
lines ; but with one of them is given a most impor-
tant supplement, occupying four sheets, on the utility
of the abolition of Feudal Rights, and also Con-
vents, together with :a description of the great pub-
lic advantage that must result from the sale of the
church property. At the end of each 'of the supple-
mentary sheets is inserted an advertisement of the
1 sale of the church property. Another long article
appears in one of these Gazettes, said to be copied
I from the German papers, praising and expatiating on
Ithe' ".•'r 'iti'henefit,s- which Spain will derive from the
ge
:reign of the new Tfyriastr. It. speaks of the. utter

Fot,r4,npre Arjerican Embargo-breakers ate arriiin
at Liverpool. Their names, as stated at Lloyd's,
:de the Rover, Ambition, Rolla, and Carmelite.—
They are said to have sailed from New Jersey, but
they are in reality from New York, and constitute
only_ a part of the number that effected their escape
'kilt that, port, and are . already known to have
reached British lions.. 'hey freighted with- a
considerable quantity of cotton, and their arrival has
had the effect of materially lowering the price of that
article, both in the London and Liverpool markets.
The samples which, but a short time before, were
sold at 3s. 3d. have fallen to 2s. Gd. Another sort,
called Bonds, which had been at `is, Bd. and 2s. Gd.
did not fetch at Liverpool 2s.
These vessels brig no other intelligence than the
determination of the Merchants of New England to
refuse submission to the Non-Intercourse Bill. This
determination had, according to our Liverpool letters,
been openly expressed, at the risk of absolute separa-
tion from the Union, sooner than relinquish their
commercial pursuits.
A curious fact has come within our knowledge,
which proves at least that this Embargo•breaking
can have been no very sudden or unpremeditated act ;
viz. these four vessels, as well as others yet to come,
were all insured at Lloyd's by a leading American
house in the City.
A Gentleman who was at Dover when the engage-
ment, mentioned in the STAR of yesterday and in our
Dover letter this day, took place, states that unfortu-
nately the guns there, and implements belonging to
them, were not in proper order, or that most probably
the privateer would have been sunk. We hope the
fact was not as stated—if it was, some persons are
highly culpable. -
This morning the three unhappy men Starkey,
La per, and Cavil, convicted of forcibly entering the
house of the Countess of Monros, were executed in
pursuance of their sentence in front of Newgate.
Friday; while engaged in a fox-chace, Lord BLAY-
NF.i's horse in leaping a wall fell on him, by which
three of his Lordship's ribs were broken.
CORN MARKET, MARL-LANt, fEll. 15.—Tbis day there are
