We sincerely hope that Lord STANIMPEN Bill will

Mr. WHITBREAD; in seiondirig this inottoki
contended for the propriety and necessity of the
House having more specific and official information
on a subject of so much importatice. All the infor-
mation the Right Hon. Gentleman had afforded theini
he derived from the Bank Directors ; but was this
enough to satisfy the public mind ? One of the Diet-,
tors had told them that the Bank was solvent ; bee
how was it solvent? This they explained thmselves,
by saying that Government was owing theth nearly
as much as would cover all the Bank paper they had
in circulation; and that if Government paid them in
specie, they would be in a situation to cash all their
notes. But could Government do this ? Could Go-'
vernment pay the Bank unless in paper of another de-
scription ? What consolation would it be to him while
his family was, perhaps, starving, if he should be in-
formed by a friend owing him money, that if such a
one, his neighbour, would pay him, he would be able
to answer his demand ? The difficulty might thus be
multiplied, but not remedied. But what satisfaction
would it be to the note-holder, on goilo; to market
without being able to make a purchase, to tie told that
the 13ank was solvent, if Government would pay them id
specie ? and this he was afraid it would come to-atlast.

We find that it is now deterftroed not to send
either Lord PAGET or the Hussar brigade on service
for the present.
It appears by letters received yesterday from •hel
East'of Spain, that a battle was fought on the 11 h
of May, between a party of Patriots, and A &LAC: •
ment of the French, under the walls of Pamplona, in
which the enemy were forced to retire, after having .
twenty-seven of their number killed,' and fourteen
made prisoners. There were about 150 on each side.
the Spaniards were commanded by Don F. C. Men-
dez, and who has been lately very successful in his
enterprizes.

Since our• last publication, reports of a most dis-
astrous complexion have been circulated. Audi:nil*
intelligence was said to be conveyed by the lat.ots,
that a most obstinate and bloody action had been
fought during six consecutive days ; that during the
first four the British army had been successful ; that
on the sth the tide of victory had turned in favour of
the French; and that, on the sixth, our armies had
been completely defeated and destroyed, and Lord
WELLINGTON and other Generals had been killed—•
Di mehora plis, erroremque hostibus ilium !

Accounts from Constantinople, vid G ibraltar• dated
the beginning of May, state that an universal anxiety
pi evaged there fur peace, and that the Goiernment, in
compli.ince with the wishes of the people, was endea-
vouringbyallmeans consistent with itshonour,to hi -mg
it about. Much disttesscrevailed there on account of
the deficiency of provisions, and the Janissaries were
again threatening a commotion. The minds of the
people were so mtich agitated, that it was supposed if
pence were not obtained, the Grand Seignior was in
great danger of assassination.
Mr. Howe started front Oxford-street yesterday
morning, to go to Bristol and return C.2...3 miles) in
40 hours, with two resting houtsallowed. He was
36 miles on the road in ten minutes more than six
hdurs alter starting-6 to 4on time.
Betting is 6to 4 on Power against Sing. The
combat will take place next Monday.

There is no truth whatever in the foregoing ru•
mours, which must have been circulated from the
worst of motives. No accounts of any battle have
been received, nor do we think such an event by any
means so probable as it appeared a few days ago.
We confess that we have our apprehensions on the
event of a battle; but we place a sufficient confidence
in the skill and gallantry of our brave Commander,
to be convinced that he will not risk an engagement
against overwhelming odds, but retreat to one of
those advantageous positions, in which the superiority
of the enemy in numbers and cavalry-cannot easily
be exerted. He will not throw the existence of our
interest in the Peninsula on the chance of a die.—The
real information brought by the ZEALOUS was nts
more than we stated yesterday.

It is now said, that the Plaintiff in the extraordi•

Curiosity was most amply gratified by the &MU-
tion of Aquatic Fireworks }a.st night at Rinelagh,
Millbank ; they were of a most splendid nature, and
received the warmest plaudits, not only f-oni the nu•

thousands which lined both sides of the Ricer; and

The GLEANER ketch, whose destination was stated
to be Corunna and Lisbon, is gone with dispatches
(it is now said) to America, to demand an explana•
tion of the late affair between the PRESIDENT and
LITTLE BELT. She is to return immediately, and
wait in a certain latitude for Sir J. %rouge; and on
the result of her dispatches will depend his line of
conduct.

arrangerre::ts of the Proprietor, the whole paned of
