but that in appointing to the two most valuable, as

Government will overlook any othernomination than
that of talent and.fitness for the service.
FortetaN Tllooll.—Much has been said in some of
tr late public speeches on the policy of retaining in
• service and pay, so many foreign soldiers. A
rge proportion of our late armaments has been
composed of this description of men, and it is but
•to allow them their share of credit, for their set.•
es, which have been, in several instances, eminent
' faithful. In Spain they were conspicuous as well
Walcberen. It may, nevertheless, be dOubtful,
m, in sober reason, we derive any real addition
our nationsd strength front the enrployment of fo-
„gn troops. In the event of an actual and desperate
erasion of this country, would mercenaries prove.
bithful, or dangerous, to our cause ? If it be true,
that some of our foreign soldiers serving in;Spainc
waved and uninfluenced by the bright exaMple of
their officers, shamefully and ungratefully abagdoned
the British standard for that of the enemy, on the oc-
casion of a memorable action, lately fought in that
country, what security has this nation against the re-
currence of a similar instance of defection, in times
more Evourable to the success of our enemies ?—We
sincerely hope that not a disaffected soldier is tiow to
be found in our ranks.

HIGH STEIVARn OF BR/3TO

We mentioned a short time ago that the Duke of
Br.AuvoitT and Lord GRENVILLE were again started
by their respective friends for an 'office of considerable
dignity. We can now inform our Readers, that the
election took place on Wednesday. Lord GREN VILLE
was unanimously elected High Steward of the City'
of Bristol.
The objection made by illiberality and bigotry
Oxford might -have equally applied at Bristol; Ati
address. against Lord GaEamit and his Colleaguee
had been sent by the latter as well as by the font&
But in both reflection followed, and good sense re-
sumed its proper and natural influence.
It is Worthy of observation that Lord Ganwvta.a,
a very short time ago, declared in the House of Lords,
that his sense of the necessity of Catholic emancipa-
tion was considerably increased since he introduced a
motion for that measure. His' sentiments on the
Royal prerigative will tend to secure the co-operation
of all those, who are not decided foes to the union of
all out fOice against the enemy, in the necessary work
of suitiliition nd *ob./and/466d.*

A project is in contemplation to -construct an bar-
n. at St. Nicholas Bay, on the north-eastern coast
Kent. The plan originated with some merchants
London, with a view of obtaining a shelter for
vessels which in the winter season are so much
sed on the Kent coast. it is proposed'to make
harbour capable of receiving vessels of 500 tons
:then.
Report, of dissentions in the Cabinet are again re-
The reported disagreement is said to be re-
.•ting the appointment of a. successor to Lord
ittr.strz, who retires frowc.the Admiralty. It is
iced that some of the Ministers haietroposid to
