The

the hairabitants

in their __ repel , ,y•
fideoce in their present Rulers is one of the chief
causes of their dismay. Gibraltar is said to be full
of British goods, for which there is no market, in con-
sequence of the state of suspense in which the British
and Spanish merchants are. kept with respect to the
impending destiny of the Peninsula.
The accounts from the northern part of Spain are
rather more consolatory : a Gentleman, who has just
arrived from Corunna, after a passage of five days,
states, that the Conde de NORONA) a Nobleman of
acknowledged energy and patriotism, has been su-
perseded in the command of the kingdom of Gallicia,
by an officer named Da CASTRO, from Seville, who
has been appointed Captain General by the Central
Junta. It is understood that the Conde de NORONA.
has been removed by his own desire, and he has since
been nominated to undertake an active duty in the
army of the left, under the orders of the Duke del
PARQUL—Shortly before he qUitted his station he is-
sued a Proclamation, in which he expressed himself
in the following termi":—

TO THE INHABITANTS OF OALLICIA.

" You must perceive now, at least, that the Country is in dan.
ger; and, for my part, I have given up all dependence upon the
Government under which we are at present placed. I bavebeen
unceasing in my applications, not only for money but arms, and
to none of them have I received the slightest answer; but, oaths
Contrary, they seem to have given °Cenci.

" Under these circumstances, it remains for you Is act for
yourselves ; and what I would recommend, is, that you form, in
your own kingdom of Gaßids, a separate Junta, to be empower-
ed to act in the name of the inhabitants, who shall be authorized
to raise money, by contributions from the people, to defray the
expences that may be inevitably incurred in procuring arms, sup-
plies, and other necessaries."

This address was accompanied by an invitation to al
persons, within the space of three days, to.give their ad-
vice on the means of levying money in the way most
productive, and least inconvenient to the inhabitants.
M. TAVANERA, a Member of the former Provincial
Junta, and who was lately in London, among others,
delivered in his projet, which was immediately adopted.
By this plan Gallicia was to be divided into districts,
and each district wasto choose a representative to assist
at the General Assembly to be convened at Corunna,
under the name of the Junta de Subsidiat del Regno de
Gallicia. M. TAVANERA was himself appointed the
Deputy for the mercantile interest at Corunna; and,
this Junta commenced its functions a few days before
the gentleman to whom we have alluded left that
pert. In this short interval they had proceeded so
far as to vote a levy of 20,000 men, to be instantly
raised for the defence of Gallicia, and they had pur-
chased 10,000 stand of arms, which from the neglect
of the Government had remained in the harbour un-
disposed of for two months.

A letter from Malta of the .sth December states,
that a number of Austrian vessels had been detained
there, on the supposition that we should soon he in-
volved in hostility with that Power, in consequence
of the stipulations in the Treaty of Vienna. This
measure of excessive precaution does not appear to
have much alarmed the Imperialists, as upwards of
40 sail of vessels under the Austrian flag, with their
owners and families on board, were daily expected to
arrive at Malta, under convoy of the Acorn sloop of
war, to claim the protection-.of the British Govern.
mcnt. These emigrants were principally from Trieste
and Fiume.

The Salcette frigate had arrived at Malta with a
considerable quantity of specie. Previous to her ar-
rival, money was so scarce that the merchants were,
paying two and three per cent. discount. The ex-
change varied from 62 to 57d. per dollar.
The Terrible and Bulwark arrived at Malta on the
sth December. The first was to remain there, as
guard-ship ; the latter was to convoy the fleet home,
Between the 3d and sth, three packets, the Duke of
Montrose, Mary, and the Dispatch arrived there. ,

The letters recently received from Martinique are
couched in language of dissatisfaction at the conduct
of the British Government in excluding the produce
of that Island from the consumption of this country.
This exclusion is considered as a breach of the pledge
given by the British Commanders in their Proclama-
tion upon landing on the Island. The following ex-
tract from one of the letters alluded to, is from a
British Merchant in Martinique, who of course can-
not be suspected of an undue bias in favour of the
French inhabitants. The enterprize against Guade-
loupe is said to have been for the present abandoned.
" MARTINIQUE, Dtc. 5, 1809.
" The people here in general are dissatisfied, and Would wit, i
lingly revert to their former Government. The attack of Gnarls-
loupe it talked of; but unless we get strong reinforcements from
Europe or America, I do not think It will succeed; and if it
should, with the very feeble garrisons we :hate enabled to af-
ford, a small force from France would meet with probable sue-
' cess, and I should not be surprised to see the scenes of 1794 over
again."

Yesterday about twelve o'clock his MAJESTY ar-
rived at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor. Soon
after two his MAJESTY held a Privy Council, which
was attended by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ;
the Marquis WELLESLEY ; the Earls of CAMDFX,
WESTMORELAND, LivERTOOL, AYLEMPORD, DART,.
MOUTH and finnaowsv; Mr. PERUSAL; MTI, RYDER;
and MF, R. S. DUADAS.
His NIAJIM gave aidiences to Mr. PERCIVAL
and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present, and it
Ave o'clock sec OF as his retpril to Windsor,

murmo OF pAeudaten
day both Hooseaof Parraussant met fdr the
of business, agreeably to the late prorogation.
following is the substance of his filvarnes
Speech, which was read by Commission :
His Manny expresses his deep regret at the
failure of the exertions made by Austria to shake off
the yoke of France, and informs both Houses of Par- I,
liaraent that although there was no express treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Austria, by which his Mt.*
JESTY ways bound to support the latter Power, yet that
no measures had been neglected on the part of-his
MA.rasTy to furnish assistance to Austria during her
Mate contest with France.
With a view to co-operate effectually with Aus-
tria, and also to furnish an opportunity to the Powers
in the North of Europe to make common cause with
that Power, the Expedition to the Scheldt was under-
taken, and although it had not attained its objects to
the fullest extent, yet the demolition of the works
and arsenals of Flushing might be regarded as weak-
ening the arm of France in the prosecution of further
hostilities against the Powers with whom she is
at war.

His MAJESTY informs his Parliament, that he has
directed ample documents on the subject of that Ex-
pedition to be laid before them. With respect to
Portugal, his MAJESTY expresses his satisfaction in
communicating, that the implicit confidence reposed
by the PRINCE REGENT in the Government of this
country, had enabled his Manny to take measures
for the retention and defence of that kingdom, which
afforded the most reasonable prospects of a successful
issue.

On the subject of Spain, his MAJESTY states that
the Supreme Power in that country had, in the name
of FERDINAND VII. resolved on.assembling the Cortes
of that kingdom : a measure which would have the
effect of calling out in their greatest energy, the
whole population of Spain. Duty and policy reH
quired that we should support that country in her
struggle for independence. The achievements of
Lord WELLINGTON in that kingdom, although not
attended with a successful issue, had the effect of in-
suring more effectually the retention of PJrtugal.
His MAJESTY reminds Parliament, that in his inter-
course with ,Sweden, he had always left that power at
liberty to secure her own interests in her negociations
with France, 'without regard to any subsisting treaties
with this country. Although he regrets that Sweden
has found it necessary to purchase Peace with France
by great sacrifices, His MAJWIT expresses a hope
that Sweden will still continue in amity v.ith this
country.
With regard to America, his MAJESTY assures
Parliament, that although an interruption seems to
have taken place in the intercourse between Mr.
JACKSON and the American Government, yet, his
IvJESTIC'S Ministers have received repeated assu-
raitioel from the American Minister in London, that
it is ;be most anxious wish of his Government to main-
tain the most friendly relations with this country.
His MAJESTY informs the Gentlemen of the House
of amnions, that the utmost care has been taken
to make out the estimates fc,r the year upon a plan of
the utmost economy, consistent with the future prose-
cution of the war, and the assistance that it may be
necessary to render to our Allies.

He assures them, that notwithstanding the conti.
nuance of the attempts of France to ruin' the com-
merce of this country, that the revenue arising from
our trade was to an unexampled amount.
The speech concludes with an intimation of his
MAJESTY'S wishes that both Honks of Parliament
v►oujd take into their early consideration the best
means for improving the circumstances of the 'inferior
clergy ; and a hope that unanimity would pervade all
their measures, as being best calculated for ensuring
the safety of the Empire.

Several corn ships arrived yesterday morning from
Holland, bringing letters to the 14th of the present
month. King Lows had not then reached his tern.
tories, and the Dutch people were still in the humble
condition of waiting to receive their Constitution from
the fiat of BONAPARTE.

MR. FINNERTY AND LORD CASTLEREAGH.t—MT.
FINNERTY has published, in a long letter addressed to
the Editor of a Morning Paper, an account of the
measures resorted to “ by an order which originated
with Lord CASTLEREAGH' for preventing that Gen-
tleman from accompanying, or remaining with the
Expedition sent from this cou,ntry bo Walcheren. The
fact is this : Mr. FINNZarr went to the Scheldt for
the purpose of sending details to a respectable Neel-
paper for the information of the British public. Nor
was he the only Gentleman who went there for that
purpose; but being the only one ordered to be sent
home, he naturally seeks for the reason in some other
cause than a mere dislike to the business in which
he was engaged ; and he does not hesitate to charge
Lord CASTLEREAGH with being actuated by motives of
personal enmity against him for having refused, when
concerned with an Irish paper called Me Pren, to give
1 up to Government the names of those who sent com-
munications to that per ; and particularly the au-
thor of certain animadversions on the trial of Mr.
ORR. 41H1 on his execution, after the principal evidence
bad on his death-bed confessed himself guilty of per-
jury against Oaa, and after several 9f. the Jury had
sworn *lore the Judge who tried the cause, that liquor
had been conveyed into the jury-romn, and that they
had lven imposed upon by some of their fellow jurors!
