HANIBURGH, JANUARY Q.

This letter, in which the Junta of Seville and their

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 7.
Lord MUI.GRAVE laid on the table a Letter from the Secre-
tary of the Admiralty to Lord Cochrane ; one from the latter to
the former, and some other documents relative to Lord Gambier.
Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

Generals are alternately accused of perfidy, and in'
which the writer does not abstain from calumniating
the Emperors of Russia and Austria, is addressed to
Don Antonio Martinez Izquierdo. But so far back
as three months ago, this " good friend" was sent
off from Madrid to France, for uttering similar sen-
timents.
For some time past, the posts and special couriers
have arrived here pretty regularly from France.—
This fortunate change is owing to the excellent mea•
sures adopted by the French Generals in the North of
Spain. The pacifying of Old Castile, in particular,
by General Solignac is very highly spoken of. In the'
space of six weeks, during which this General has
been charged with the Government of that province,
he has completely dispersed or destroyed the banditti
that infested it.
The gangs of Barioluchio, Couvillas, Rodrigues,
Jacobe, &c. have in succession suffered the fate which
awaits all such banditti. There remained only one
foe unconquered, who was more dangerous than the
rest ; both from his influence and the description of
troops under his command. M. Fortier, alias •Mar-
quezitto, formerly Colonel of the regiment of Arra-
yon, scoured the country at the head of 4500 men,
Including the regiments of Cantabria and Castile.
We have just learnt that General Solignac, having
placed himself at the head of his troops, came up
with the enemy at Rioja, after some forced marches,
killed 600 of them in various encounters, and com-
pletely dispersed the remainder; but the greatest tri-
umph which General Solignac has obtained is, that
he has succeeded in opening the eyes of the Spaniards
to their genuine interests, and convinced them of the
futility of all resistance under the present circum-
stances. We are assured that more than 3000 in-
surgents have laid down their arms and returned
to their habitations. May the other Provinces of
Spain follow the example of Old Castile ! and the
calamities we have suffered will speedily be repair-
ed, under the paternal Government of his Catholic
Majesty.

It is confidently reported that the Russian General
Piennigsen is marching through the Ukraine with an
army of 18 regiments to Turkey. The Commander
of the Turkish army, in the battle lately fought near
Silistria, is said to have been a M. Gleysztor, a na-
tive of Szereszow, near Bricsc, is Lithuania. Before
the partition of Poland, he was a Sub-Lieutenant in
the regiment of Wodzecki. He was afterwards Cap-
tain in the Polish Legions on the Rhine. He served
under Kosciusko in the battles of Ractaviice, Szeko-
zeny, and Nlaciejowiece, in the latter of which he fell
into the hands of the Russians. He entered the Tur-
kish service two years ago.

A very considerable naval force, consisting of se-
veral sail of tbe line and smaller vessels, is forthwith
to be sent to the East Indies. Several ships now fitting
at Plymouth, and others at Portsmouth, are named
among the number. A considerable body of troops
also go out in the ships of war. Portsmouth is ap-
pointed as the general rendezvous. The reduction
of the Isle of France is said to be the primary object
of this force ; but it is also destined to relieve our
ships now on that station, and to fill up the vacan-
cies in our foreign garrisons, occasioned by disease
and other casualties.

LONDON.

Moniteurs, and other French Papers to the Ist in-
stant, have been received. In a short article, dated
Bayonne, January 20, it is stated, that a division of
the French army had taken possession of the City of
Valencia, after a battle, in which the Spaniards were
defeated with great loss. It is, howeVer, admitted,•
that tke official accounts had not been received.—
The " insurgents," as they are called, are accused of
having committed " shocking enormities" in Va-
lencia, previous to the arrival of the French.

An article from Paris, dated 31st ult. acquaints us,
that the vast range of country from the river Elbe to
the ancient frontiers of France, are to be annexed in
lull sovereignty to the Empire of BONAPARTE. These
immense districts include the commercial depots on
the shores of the Ems and the Weser, our commerce

with which has so powerfully excited the jealousy of
the French Ruler.

The Itloniteur of January 31, contains a note, which
we shall subjoin, upon that part of the King's Speech,
at the meeting of Parliament, which relates to the
state of our commerce.— The real words of his Ma-
jesty's Speech are

" Whatever temporary and partial inconveniencies may have
resulted from the measures which were directed by France against
those great sources of our prosperity and strength (viz. the trade
and revenue), those measures have wholly failed of producing any
general effect."

Theta words are thus cited in the Monikur—

" You are aware that the measure* adopted by the French to
dry up the great sources of your prosperity, have been to a certain
extent efficient. Their effect, however, has only been momentary."

Upon the sentence thus disfigured,. the annotator
says—" We shall explain how that has happened.—
The state of affairs in Spain has opened to you the
greater part of the ports of that kingdom—they shall
be shut against you. Trieste afforded a great vent
fur your commerce ; and that, port is for ever shut.

The order for the sequestration and confiscation of
American property is again stated not to have been
confined alone to Italy and Spain, but to have been
extended to. the ports of France, and Holland, in
corroboration of which we are informed, that in the
beginning of the present month, a large American
ship from Boston, was carried into Amsterdam by a
French cruizer.

is re-elected Member of Parliament for the City of
Edinburgh.
We intended this day to have laid before our Read-
ers some remarks on the vehement attack on the liber-
ties of the country by Mr. MINDHAM, in his late dia-
tribe against Newspapers ; but on looking ovex our
Memoranda respecting the virtuous and patriotic
conduct of this enlightened Statesman, with the view
of proving, if possible, that the Gentleman allowed
himself to be hurried on by passion, and on that occa-
sion maintained doctrines altogether foreign from his
real sentiments, we were not a little surprized to
find these very sentiments in unison with the whole
tenor of his conduct since he entered on public life.—
The subject, however, embraces so many objects,
moral and political, that we cannot find room in this
day's Paper to do it justice.
Tuesday a Court of Common Council was held at
Guildhall, which was numerously attended, when the
Committee of City Lands presented a Report in tela-
lion to removing Smithfield Market, upon which a
very long and able debate ensued, and it was finally
resolved, upon a division, by a majority of 16, that
the Report should lie upon the table, and the former
Resolution of the Court for its removal was rescinded;
and it was referred to the Committee to treat with the
Governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, for their
