l'O THE EMPEROR.

SIRE—It is with the most respectful and profound
emotion that the Senate this day present themselves I
before your Majesty. Never have they more power-
fully felt the force and dignity of those family tics
which unite the Monarch to his faithful subjects.—
Your most tender affections, Sire—the most intimate
desires of your heart, will henceforth be identified
with the first interests of the Monarchy, and the
most ardent wish of your people— the duration of the
mu •t powerful dynasty which has ever been founded
among men.
" How many hearts, even beyond the frontiers of
your Empire, have bounded with joy at what is to con-
stitute your felicity; and your great soul has not been
in,cosible to their tran.ports
Europe contemplates with rapture the august
daughter of the Sovereigns of Austria on the glo-
rious throne of Napoleon. Providence, Sire, in re-
etving for you this illustrious spouse, has been pleased
to manifest more and more, that you have been born
for the happi%ess of nations, and to secure the repose
of the world."

CADIZ, MAY
In the course of the three last months, February,
March, wind April, 865 ships and vessels arrived in
this port, namely-531 Spanish, 258 English; 85
Portuguese, 85 American, S Turkish, 2 of Barbary,
and 1 of Papenburgh; and 544 sailed from hence, 19'7
of which Were English. The-brilliant view which our
harbour affords from the large number of merchant
ships which are lying there at anchor, is heightened
by the aspect of. the Spanish and British squadron;
the former consisting of 14 sail of the line and some
smaller vessels ; the latter of 18 line of battle ships,
and seven frigates and sloops.
The French apply themselves to fortify all the
points of the coast they occupy, and especially that
of Torcadero, but the gun-boats and bomb-vessels
harrass them night and day, inflict several losses on
• their army, and fill their hospitals.
Provisions, of every description, are at present even
more plentiful in this city than in times of peace,
and some articles also much cheaper ; while the
French, on the contrary, suffer the utmost want,
misery, and distress.

• The Badajoz Diary, 'of the 26th May, contains the
following article On the 23d instant, at night,
the Secretary of a French General made his appear-
ance in this place from Toledo, and brought with
him all the papers entrusted to his core."
By a report made by the Governor of Ciudad Ro-
drigo, to the Marquis Romana, under date of the
14th of May, it appears that on the 12th of the same
month an officer of General Mermit's Staff made his
appearance before one of 'the gates of that town with
a repeated summons to surrender, but was sent back
with no other answer than an absolute refusal to listen
to any terms of capitulation which the enemy might
think proper to offer, and that the Governor was de-
termined to keep up no other communication with
the French than by balls.

Last n;gl.t advices were received of the arrival of
aNcicet at Falmouth, from Lisbon, in 16 days, and
this morning the mails arrived at the Post-Office and
were delivered out.

The report received via Liverpool, of a battle hav-
ing taken place between Lord WELLINGTON'S army
and the French is not confirmed. Our letters are to
the 3d instant.

Accounts from the army state every thing on the
frontiers to be a perfect stated. quiet and inactivity.
Lord IVELLixorom maintains the same position, in
Beira ; and General HILL occupies, undisturbed, his
advanced line of posts in the Alentejo, being within
eight leagues of Badajos, where ROMANA has his
head•gnarters. The troops are in general healthy,
'isnd in good spirits. The army is obliged to depend
entirely upon the supplies sent up from Lisbon and
Abrgntes, as the country can afford nothing : it is the
absolute want of all provision for an army that is
generally supposed to be the cause that prevents the
advance of the enemy ; but, if the report of MASENA
having entered Spain with 90,000 men, be correct,
we must soon expect employment. All will depend
nn the conduct of the Portuguese troops, who now
amount to 15,000 effective, besides militia and volun-
teers, and are daily improving-in discipline, through
the great zeal and exertions of Marshal BERESPORD,
who is indefatigable. Most of the regiments arc
commanded by Englisk Officers, who will lead them
on ; and there is little doubt but the Portuguese will
follow. The whole army is in high spirits, and
anxiously expecting the approach of the enemy.

CIIARDA, MAY 29.
General Massena has about 70,000 men in four
divisions, called " The Army of Portugal." They
extend from Salamanca to Truxillo. The British
and Portuguese forces consist of 5G battalions : the
advanced guard is at St. Felicis. The British head-
quarters are at Celerico, and the Portuguese at For-
ms. The present formidable appearance of the
enemy has excited considerable alarm among the na-
tiVieS, but the troops are in perfect health and anxious
for the great conflict that is expected to take place.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE le.

Two American ships arrived off this port this afternoon, and
are now lying to in the offing, waiting for pilots to bring them'
into the- harbour. The Cawsand trawl-boats that were fishing
lase night between the Edystone Light-house and Ram-head,
state, that eleven American vessels, fully laden with flour, cotton,
cocoa, and indigo, passed them at an early hour this morning, and
stood up Channel, for the Eastern ports. The Master of one of
them stated that he bad been boarded at the entrance of the Chan-
nel by a French privateer ; but a strange sail heaving in sight,
which the privateer mistaking for an English brig of war, she,
immediately crowded all sail and stood away for the French coast.
It is with regret I add, that notwithstanding the number of our
eruizers, the enemy's privateers still swarm in the Channel, to
the great annoyance of our trade. Arrived the Casten-11Am THE
SZVENTN, of 74 guns, from Basque Roads, tnoeceive the flag of

from the coast of France ; the Ist PLACA ILI, of 74 gulls ; and the

was now A 16.000,000 worse than nothing.. The
Noble Lord adverted to the late transaction in Madras,
observing that no. Government ever deserved more
reprobation than the Madras Government, for its con-
duct in those transactions, a conduct which in one
instance was wholly unaccountable, it having stis- I
pended and sent home Colonel Boles fol. signing mi.
bury orders by order of his superior officer, and ap-
pointed to the same situation Colonel Sutherland
Macdowall, who had signed one half of the very same
orders. With respect to the forged bonds of the
Nabob of Arcot, the conduct of the Officers of Co.
vernment was also highly reptehenOble.
The Earl of MARROWBY declined entering into •
any detailed state of the affairs of the East India
Company, there not being sufficient materials before •
the House for that purpose. He admitted there had
been disappointment, but no blame was imputable to
any one. The present sum was asked in order to
give time to the Company to bring about their affairs. '
The conduct of the Madras Government in the late
transactions was, he contended, deserving of the
highest praise. The circumstance respecting Colo-
nel Sutherland Tvfacdowall, he had now heard I*
the first time. With respect to the forged bonds, his
Lordship observed, that the conduct of the Officers
of Government was whollyundeserving of blame.
The Earl of CLANCARTY entered into 'spine
detail, for the purpose of disproving the statements
cf the Earl of Lauderdale, and observed, that the
balance sheet of stock per computation, was varying
every day, and did not shew the profits of the Coni-
pany, which, he contended, was proved by other do-
cuments to have arisen, in succeeding years up *to
last year, to a considerable amount. Government
had, he observed, in the money due to the Company,
security for a considerable part of the sum now pro- ,
posed to be advanced.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE replied ; and, in
allusion to the appointment of Colonel Sutherland
Macdowall, observed, that he knew the fact of that
Officer's having signed those very orders, frir signing
which Colonel Boles was suspended. With respect
to the bonds, he stated, that it appeared upon one of
the trials at Madras, that the Advocate-General was
in possession of one of them.
The Bill was read a third time and passed.
Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

THE AN fIQUITI ES of WARWICKSHIRE.
• By Sir WILLIAM DUGDAL,E.
Printtd from the last Edition, which was published in 1720, by
William Thomas, D. D. and the Press superintended by an
etninent Antiquary.
London i• Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme, Pa-
ternoster-raw; and Rees and Curtis, Plymouth.
l'he County of Warwick has to boast of having given birth to
the most eminent Antiquary, that either this, or perhaps any
other country, ever produced. The name of Dugdale stands
foremost among British Antiquaries • and his Antiquities of War-
wickshire is universally acknowledged to be the best of all our
County Histories. Twenty years were employed in writing this
work, and from the author's indefatigable incliner) , it is evident
that no pains were spared to render it as complete as possible.
The great expense attending the republication, on account of
the number .of pates to be engraved, has hitherto prevelited
Booksellers from undertaking it ; copies have consequently be-
I come so scarce that they are hardly to be procured at any price.
The copy from which the new.edition will be printed, cost the
Publishers fifty Pounds, and it was the only one they could
purchase.
Only 2;,p copies will he printed of the new eition, and as there
are many copies already ordered, all persons desirous of sub;
scribing, wthl be pleased to traninie their 11-4:nr.s to the Publishers,
before the Ist of May next. The n..nies of the Subscribers
be Irinted.

The House was sununonetl to the House of Peers, to hear hi•
Majesty's Assent given, by Cowl-1111,ton, to several private Acts.
On the return of the Speaker, he acquainted the House .hat he

the titles of which he then read.

A Message from the Lords acquainted the House, that ther

London, England, 1810-06-16

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Sir THOMAS TURTON was desirous, before Parliament
closed, to call the attention of the House to the proceedings of
Committees up stairs. During the last six weeks all the private
business of the Session was done, but how correctly or effectually
accomplished, he could not take upon himself to say. The time
for receiving Reports had been enlarged; but notwithstanding this
it Wita utterly impossible to have paid a due attention to the Pri-
vate Rills, more especially when it was considered that Ilembers
were frequently called upon to attend five Committees in the
course of one day. That some plan should be adopted to remedy
Oil evil, he conceived was indispensibty necessary; and, in that
feeling be had taken the liberty of directing the attention of the
House to the subject. He also suggested the necessity of some
persons being appointed to assist Members in the technical and
legal form of introducing public bills.
The SPEAKER observed, that the subjects to which the Ho.
nourable Gentleman had adverted, were of the greate7t impor-
tance, and required the most serious deliberation. From the
manner, however, in which the Honourable Gentleman had
broughothe question forward, it was not likely that any bene-
ficial effect would result from his remarks. Had he followed up
his observations with ti specific motion, then sense probability of
1 attaining the desired effect would have arisen. It was a matter
which rested with Members themselves, and with them must ori-
ginate any measure for facilitating the general convenience of
public and private business.
