ham), had expressed a with to deliver in the counter-.
narrative of Sir Richard Strachan; and had applied
to him (Mr. Croker) to know if he would have any
objection to a motion for that paper, He (Mr: Cro-
ker) replied, he could not accede to it,•such a paper
rot being then in the custody of the Admiralty, but
that the gallant Officer might then give a notice
of such a motion for this day, and in the interim:
transmit the papers to the Admiralty, so as that they
might be in the possession of the Admiralty when
moved for. The gallant Officer agreed to do so, but
owing to some inadvertence or accident indeed of giv-
ing the notice, that gallant Officer made the motion,
' and accordingly papers were list night ordered which
sere not in possession of the Admiraltr till three
o'clock this day. He would, therefore, now propose
so cbviate this informality, by moving that that order
be discharged, and that one of this day be substituted
in its place • which having been done accordingly,
the Hon. Gentleman then laid upon the table the
touater-narrative of Sir Richard Strachan, which
was ordered to be printed.—Adjourned.

We have received Paris Papers to the 2d, and
Dutch to the 6th instant, from which have given am-
ple extracts. The Documents from the French Mi-
nister, respecting Holland and America, are pecu-
liarly interesting. The Dutch are charged with
poverty and imbecility—" they are a Company of
Mercilants, but not a Nation"—and these are some
-of the ostensible pretexts for annexing Holland to
France : it is easy to perceive, however, that the trade
which the Dutch have contrived to carry on with this
country, is the real cause of irritation against them.
King Lours, in an affectionate address to his late
subjects, Assures them; and we think with sincerity,
that he has omitted no opportunity of remonstrating
against the oppressive policy of his Imperial Brother

towards Holland.
The conclusion of this address affords some slight
grounds to hope, that the execution of this new pro-
ject of the French Cabinet may be for a time sus-
pended.: in-fact, letters from Holland of the 2dinst-
inform us that.the f reneh troops had not then passed
the Maese, nor had there been any new exactions or
confiscations north of ibat river : the inhabitants still
pemained in a state of gloomy suspense.
With regard to America, the line of policy adopted
by the French Minister, is highly conciliatory : an
artful attempt is made to take advantage of our re-
cent misunderstanding with that country, and over:
tures are made to renew a commercial treaty between
America and France.

The Archduchess MARIA L4)13/SA, daughter of the
EMPEROR of AUSTRIA, is the destined bride of NA-
POLEON. The contract has been signed, and we soon
expect to hear of her arrival in Paris.—She is the
daughter of FRANCIS by his former marriage, and
niece to Louis XVI. of France. '

Yesterday, being Ash Wednesday, the Bishop of
London preached at the Chapel Royal, for the first

We are in daily expectation of news of the falling
of Guadaloupe. The. General Officeri who have gone
on this service, under Sir GEORGE BECKWITH, t.he COM.
mander-in-Chief, are, Generals M,Leax, HARCOURT,
WALE, SKINNER, and BARROW. General HOUGHTON
has returned to England.
Lord WELLINGTON has, we are glad to hear,
adopted the prticlent measure of incorporating a
certain number of Portuguese troops with each Bri-
tish regiment ; by this means he has under him an
effective force of 23,000 men, besides the Portuguese
army under Marshal BERESFORD, which will likewise
co-operate as an army.
A communication we received yesterday from Lis-
bon speaks in more melancholy terms of the prospect
in Portugal than some of our other letters. The.wr►ter,
after pointing out the ground for apprehension from
various causes, desires that no answer may. be given
to him, as he is fearful that the reply would devolve
into the hands of the enemy, who would. most cer-
tainly make an injurious use of it.

A private letter from Bourdeaur, dated Feb. 2.1,
says, " A report is circulated here, that in a few days
'we are to-prepare for the reception of a large force on
its way to Spain, but no official notice for that pur-
pose has been received by the Magistrates of this place.
Affairs in Spain, we hear,, go on as well as could be
wished for the Emperor's troops, though we have no
very late advices. It is expected, that before this time
Cadiz has fallen from the hopeful character of the
news last received. On the 15th, three regiments en-
tered here on their sv.ty to the mountains. They are
of the artiller.y, and have their field pieces with them.•
They state, That others will arrive in a short time.
A great quantity of Corn has also been brought in,
and is to he forwarded with all expedition. Powder
land- ball, and clothing, are also conveying over the
Pyrenees."

The second division of the Guards, intended fur
foreign service, marched yesterday morning from
Portntan-street Barracks for Portsmouth.
• The third division marched this morning from the
Parade, in the Bird-cage Walk, St. James's Park,
being the whole complement of the Guards intended
to form a part of the Secret Expedition.
The service for which the Guards are destined is,
we understand, of the nature of a coup-de-main. Sir
SIDNEY SMITH will command the naval part.
Whatever may be said of the ages of the Members
of the new Medical Board, we understand that all of
them are men conversant with business, and great
satisfaction is expressed among the Medical Officers
of the Army that, for the first time, the heads of
these departments are men who have regularly gone
through all the steps, and have been on service.

LORD SONIZRVILLR'S SPRING SHEW.—The Yard was
on Tuesday, crowded with genteel company, when a
variety of new invented implements for the improve-
ment of husbandry were exhibited.
At three o'clock, a meeting of the Smithfield Club
was held at Freemasons' Tavern, R.. ASTLEY, Esq.
in the Chair ' • after some routine business, several
new Members were elected.

At five o'clock, S6O of Lord SOMERVILLE'S friends
sat down to an elegant dinner—Lord SOMERVILLE in
the Chair. The premiums having been distributed,
his Lordship amongst other toasts gave,
"6 Mr. Pinkney, the American Ministe?: and may harmony
always prevail with those who speak the same language."
Which was drank with long and loud plaudits.
Mr. PINEY rose, amidst a thunder of applause,
which for some time prevented his speaking, and said,
MY Lonn—l beg your Lordship and this Company
to be persuaded that I am very grateful for the unex-,
pected notice which you and they have been so good
as to take of the United States and their Minister.—
I thank you, in the first place, for my country, and
I hope I shall not be thought very presumptuous if
led, or even misled, by my wishes, to conclude that
personal kindness may have had some little share in
prompting your conduct on this occasion, I venture
to thank you for myself. 1 trust, my Lord, it is
scarcely necessary for me to say how sincerely I join
in the wish which has been so well received by the
Noblemen and Gentlemen here present, that there
may be perpetual good widerstanding between Great
Britain and the United' States. An American Mi-
nister has in truth no merit in anxiously desiring cor-
dial friendship with this country on terms consistent
with the honour of his own, and your Lordship will
allow me to rejoice that there do exist on both sides,
the most powerful and obvious inducements to culti- ,
vate such friendship. We need not trouble ourselves
to inquire whether it be true, as some politicians
have pretended, that interest is the only tie of suf.
ficient strength to hold independent nations together
as friends, for we are fortunately bound in amity
by all sorts of ties, which I fervently hope we shall
nor, even if it were possible that we should be so dis-
loosed, be strong enough to break. No reflecting and.
impartial man can doubt, that the true interests of
Great Britain and America are compatible in all
cases, the same in most. A liberal and comprehen-
sive view of these can lead .to no other conclusion
than that they are calculated to cherish and invigo-
rate each other. But a sense of this compatibility
and identity of interest', effectual as it ought to be
in communicating a character of steady friendship to
our relations, is not the only pledge of harmony be-
tween us ; for a thousand kindly influences, with
which calculation has no concern, combine to form
ail auxiliary pledge, little inferior in strength, I should
hope, far superior in moral beauty, I. am sure, to the
other. These influences, my Lord, .it would be a
pleasing, and perhaps not unprofitable task, to xeview
in detail, and by reviewing to give them freshness and
augthented activity ; for the noble and salutary pur-
poses of peace and kindness. But I have already
trespassed too long on your indulgence, if, indeed,
I have not trespassed upon that discretion which so.
emphatically becomes my situation. I beg leave to
drink the health of your Lordship, &c.
Sunday the body of an Ensign belonging to the
Somerset Militia, was picked up at New Passage,
near Plymouth. He fell overboard from one of the
prison ships in Hamoaze, on Christmas day, and the
body had in vain been searched for ever since. When
tnken'isp,apth arms were gone above the elbow, and
the crabs had eaten away the head.
Tuesday, at the Thames Office, J. &mei and T.
Gardner, belonging to the ship Venture, from Spain,
were committed tbr re-examination, charged with
breaking bulk during the passage, and drinking and
wasting two pipes of wine..
Tw,i Masters of trancpoits from Walcheren, were
contacted in the penalty of AE.I each, for not del:ver-
