Upon the last Resolution, which went to it stoit that
Resolution to its original state. This was Understood
to he rather fer the purpose of recording the words
which he had at first proposed eth the Journals, thaii
for any thing else: Upon this the House divided,
*hen there appeared to be a niajotity of there only
against the Minister in the House, upon tilt same
question upon which theiv had, the night before, beef
a majority of 13 against hint in the Cominittee:

We this morning received Cadiz Papers to the
12th ult. They contain a Decree of the Cottes for
abolishing all sinecure offices ; buts with this excep-
tion, their contents are uninteresting.
We have also received various letter from the RiVer
Plate, by two ships from that quarter, ooe of them in
90 days, the other after a 'holler passage. One (if the
letters alluded to is gikren in another coltimn.
Mortiteurs and other French Papers have been re-
ceived to the 30th ult. They confirm the account df
the loss of the MINOTAUR on the coast of Holland.—
The number saved amounts to 110, aiming whom are
a Lieutenant, the Surgeon. and eight Midshipmen.
It appears that she struck on the 3andss near the hie
of Bosch, in a tremendous storm, on the evening of
the 2/th. The Afotdieurr are filled with congratula-
tory addresses fioM various public bodies to the
French Emperor bn his late burning decreer A kind
of Expose is also given in these ristpets of the present
state of the French Armies in Spain. This document
displays the usual rhodomonrade ; and while it claims
a victory for the French in every rencontre, it is easy
to perceive that they are most dreadfully harassed
by the Guerrillas and Peasantry. The late defeat
of General BLAKt is the Most serious disaster to the
Spanish cause, which is recorded in the above docu-
ment.

The re:Holds of the late Duke of Qtriantanstir
were on Monday interred in the chancel-vault, St.
James's Church.
One of the legacies of the Duke of Qum:sent:iv
has not been noticed He has bequeathed £5OOO to

of his conduct while he was Prime Minister.
A Gentleman who lett Gottenburgh by the last
conveyance, states, that the French Commissioners
have been sent to all the Ports of Sweden, and inven-
tories of British merchandise had been required of the
evaders. The duty on 'be wholes:non= of this pro-
perty had been demanded, and the inhabitants were
endeavouring to answer to these exactions. Strict
orders had been transmitted from France, to enforce
with unrelenting severity the continental system ; and
the public n arehouses were crowded with commodities
that were to be sold to discharge the duties.
Dispatches had been sent by a Courier Extraordi.
nary, before the Gentleman alluded to left the Swe-
dish Captital, to the Court of St. Petersburgh, and
duplicates of them were transmitted to Paris. It was
universally understood, that they contain proposals for
the surrender of Finland by the Emperor /Umtata:mit.
It was expected that before the commencement of
spring, the old King Will abdicate his throne in favour
of his adopted son. From some cause Unexplained,
Beamitoorra had given orders for the inspection of
the military force of his kingdom, and for augmenting
its strength to 80,000 men. It was generally reported
that a war would break ode between Russia and
France, and it is naturally conjectured that the mili-
tary preparations in Sweden were to be attributed to
this apprehension.
Although BERNADoTta has given the most eiplicit
and solemn assurances of his protection to the mer-
chants, an irresistible conviction prevailed that he
would be completely subservient to the designs of
NAPOLION.
Of the last convoy that sailed from Gottenburgh
to the Baltic, consisting of one hundred ships, only
three had been accounted for, and the MINOTAUR,
which has been lost off the Haax, is one of them.—
The convoy left the port on the 19th of November, to
which it returned, and again set sail with a fair wind
two days afterwards.
Tusday evening, about five o'clock, as the Earl of
NVINcneLSEA's carriage was coining into London, it
was robbed of a large trunk, containing wearing ap-
parel, &c. to a considerable amount, although two
servants were riding in the dickey.
Yesterday 41 prisoners, male and fethale, were re-
moved from the different prisons in the metropolis; to
his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, preparatory to their
trials at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, which com-
mence on Wednesday next.
Yesterday, at the Westminster Sessions, Jas. Claris

NEWCASTLE, !ANUART rr
Last wetk we gave an account of the loss of the
Providence; a Shields collier, Upon Whitby rocks, to.
ether with the master and five out of eight of his
crew ' • another of then' wat stated to have been either
killed or drowned by the breaking of a rope, by which
some sailors were dtawibg hit' up to the top of the
cliff. By a subsequent letter from our correspondent,
we are glad to learn, that at the ebbing of the tide,
some persbns endeaiouring to get round to the spot
where the Vessel was Wrecked, in the hope of seeing
part oUtiit fragments which had not been washed
away, descried one of the people sitting npon a ledge
of the cliff) a few yards front the bottom, which proved
to be the master of the vessel ; who, it appears, had
actually fallen from , a considerable height, (though
not so great a one as was at first said) by the berating
of the rope; but being only a little hurt, he climbed up
to the spot from'whence he was taken. Another of the
crew was taken up, upon a small piece of the wreck.
These poor men baying suffered greatly, were obliged
to be supported into the town, where every necessary
assistance and refreshment were afforded them. One
of the sufferers is John Fairfoot, of Whitby, mate of
the vessel, who has left a wife and six children in a
state of absolute penury.
ELIZABETH COUNTRY SHIP.
Tht dreadful disastet of the loss of that ship sug-
gests some serious considerations, and demands imme-
diate inquiry.—She had sailed from Portsmouth in
November, and had been obliged to Out into Clark,
where she waited for a favourable wind. The current
report is, that she was ordered back to England—
to the Jjearee—in ordet to wait for a convoy. Whether
this Was done by the tisVntrs, or suggested by the under:
writers, is not mentioned. It was natural to order
her to rep* to Fiddietth or Pip:abatis; where she
would have been teady to join a convoy ; and thus
have avoided the navigation of the Channel, difficult
at all times, but highly dangerous at this time of the
year, particularly to a vessel manned chiefly with
Lescars, who are unable even to hold a rope in frosty
weather. Instead of this easy and safe Mode, she is
ordered to coast through the Channel into the Downs.
The fate of the HALSZIVIILL, HINDOSTAN, AtICROA-
ViNNY, and several other Indiamen—to say nothing
of other ships—might have been teeollected. To that
melancholy list the ELIZABITH has now been added.
We mean to blame no one ; but we call on those whom
it concerns to take measures to avoid accidents, by
which so marty hundreds of our most valuable cotirw
trymen are either plunged into the sea, or thrown into
the hands of a merciless savage:

A duel was fought on Satdrday morning, on Put
ney Heath, between two Gentlemen of the names of
FRANCIS and WILLAT, in consequence of a dispute
respecting a bet on Milton's race. Mr. FRANCIS was
seriously wounded in the knee.
A great number of horses are now embarking at
the Dock-yard, Portsmouth, to join Lord Welling-
ton's Arty in Portugal.
The 54th Regiment, which has been for several
years in the West Indies, having lately suffered very
much from the climate, are ordered home.
Lieutenant Paten, late of the SALVADOR, is Ap-
pointed Agent for French prisoners at the new dep&
in Scotland.
Captain PArrensoN, of the Royal Nary, late Agent
for Prisoners of War at Portchester Castle, is ap.
pointed to the command of the PUIssANT. The
French prisoners much regret the loss they have sus-
tained by his removal ; for, during the time he has
had charge of this large depot, every care and at-
tention has been paid to the comfort of the prisoners,
who have received every kind of indulgence they could
ask, compatible with the service. A Theatre has
been fitted up in the Castle by a company of French
1 performers, who have been very successful in getting
up several Melo-Dramas and light Comedies, which
have been a great source of amusement for the dif-
ferent families in the neighbourhood. A theatrical
fete in honour of Captain Parreasost was given
on Tuesday, at which ad the frequenters of theTheatre
were invited : it went off uncommonly well, and had
a v.eTy interesting effect.
A letter from an Officer belonging to his Majesty's
ship A rtz•ritusa, dated at Ferrol, states, that she had
been nearly lost of the coast of Spain. While eruizing
between Corunna and St. Andero, she was overtaken
by a dreadful gale, which carried away her main and
fore-top masts, mizen mast, spritsail yard, spanker-,
boom. Etc. The gale increasing, she was tinder the
necessity of throwing her quarter deck and forecastle
guns overboard, and bore away for Corinna. Just
as she had reached the latter place, the wind shifted
suddenly, and drove her off the shore. The Violence
of the gale did not, however, abate with the shifting
of the wind, and she was twelve days exposed to the
fury of the elements, during which she was several
times nigh foundering: At length she had the good
fortune tb rrsoh Fefrolj Where she arrived withodt as I
