was thus completely sheltered by the swell at th/1

ded upon the plan of attack. The troops were then.

The Honourable J. Rosa, Minister from the United
States to our Court, has arrived at Cow**. and may
be expected in London to-morirow or Thursday.—
Wis Excellency with his hinny sod suite came over
in thit American ship of war Franklin, of 74 guns,
the first of that class that has been seen in a British
port, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore
STUART, and commanded by Captain BALLARD.

The Ambassador is a son of the celebrated Doctor
Rusts, of Philadelphia.
The Franklin, when ear letter left Cowes, bad
heady been examined by some of the best skilled
nautical Gentlemen of Portsmouth, and is allowed to
he tir tinrst vessel of her class ever built in America.
in Fr purthen is 2000 tons. She will proceed in a few
dAys for the Mediterrancan, to join the American
squadron in that sea.

Some may feel a little sore st the political progress
of our quondam Colonists, in thus being able to send
out ships of such a class, bearing an independent flag,
and carrying an Ambassador to their former Parent.
But such a feeling is unworthy of a great Nation.—
On the contrary, the fact before us should excite
feelings analogous to those which a facer feels when
he sees his children well established in the world,
and maintaining a character honourable to their',
progenitors. It is not in the nature of things that
children arrived at manhood should still continue in
the character of domeitic dependants, rather than
make arrangements for separate and independent

establishments: end to auenipts to restmla and
late the amoral process, we may ascribe an the'evils
of colonial wars. The moment that colonies ate in
a condition to maintain and protect thansslves, the
parent &ate, instead of endeavouring to prevent,
should urge a separation,. This conduct, so far from
alienating, would tend to cement these affections
which should serve as the bond of future friendship
and a mutual interchange of kind offices, which could
not fail to prove highly beneficial to both parties.
The Spanish Colonies in the Weston Hemisphere
have fully arrived at that age which entitles and es-
abieo them to maintain the character and relations
tad. independent Powtr ; and,o6thl6o.l4tfolly and.
cupidity can urge the attempt to fietiollsent to eon •
Sane longer in subjection to the pacentleMe. Every
attempt to violate or retard the COMO of MOM must
ultimately prove abortive ; bop unhappily for the
families of mankind, those who direct their affairs
are often so Infatuated that they still persevere in
their mad and futile projects, causing much misery
and bloodshed by their effort to change the course of
nature, till they at last Sad that, bite that of the ma,
it is subject to laws beyond their cootrottl.
May the period not be far distant when we Ad,

have ,to bail the arrival of an Asnbarsador fr.'m the
Spanish Colonies of America, in circumstances of as
.honourable a state as those in which we are now
pleased to behold the Ambassador from our own fork
limes Colonies, come among us as the representative

We announced yesterday the arrival of the Mel-
ville, from India. By this vessel accounts have been
received confirming the statement received by the Pal-
ladium from the Eliza, off Madagascar (given in the
Srart of Friday last I, viz. that peace had been re-
stored between the Company and the Mahratta
Powers. The Calcutta Papers have not arrived, but
their announcement of the fact has been copied into
the Bombay Papers, from which we have given ex-
tracts in another column. The terms of the arrange-
ment are, however, still wanting ; the Proclamation
of the Governor-General only stating that he " his
the satisfaction to announce the execution of a new
Treaty with the PEISHWA (of Poonah) explaining and
amending the articles of the preceding one, and con-
taining certain provisions calculated to improve the
alliance, and to promote and render permanent the
harmony which both Governments are solicitous to
maintain."

His Excellency also makes an excursion from Cal-
cutta, with a view to give practical effect to the peace-
ful arrangements which have been signed and sealed.
Mr. ED/402it 'NI has been left at Fort William with
the title of Vice-President and Deputy Governor,
during the Governor's absence.

,CHAMBER OF DEPUTTFS, DEC- te. I j
Count:Bet:ortor considered the project of Jew before
the Chambei as one step more towards the Liberty of
the Press, and he would therefore support it in most
of its parts.—Theproject requires, with respect to the
point of responsibility—lst, That a declaration shall
be made previous to the printing of any work being
oadertaken, and-2d, That in certain cases the prin.
ten and booksellers shall share the responsibility with
the author. The speaker endeavoured to thew, that
neither of these regulations was necessary, and that
they would only serve unnecessarily to shackle liberty.
and impede the progress of livrary and typographical
industry. On the question ohe application of the in.
stitution of the Trial by July, he smirked that in no
rasp lathe judgment of an intelligent Jury mere eases.,
tinily necessary than in questions respecting abuses of
the Liberty of the Press. In delicts of this nature the
matter of guilt depends on so many rnoral, literary.
and grammatical circumstances of the extremest
nicety, that it is impossible for any law to foresee or
de:ersnine them with precision ; and to the judgment
of a Jury called on the special occasion to weigh
these circumstances, ought the matter therefore to be
referred. The Project of Law now before the Chant_
bet proposed, it is true, that the cognizance of simple
delicts should be confided to the Correctional Tribu.
nals, but since there was at all times a right of appeal
(Tom these Tribunals to the Royal Courts, the inter-
vention of a Jury could always be obtained when
considered essential to justice.
The speaker then entered into a detailed siiityil;
the different articles of the Project, which lie
ded in these words :

It
. • It

" Why should Ministers, who have nothingieferr
from public opinion, desire to stifle the expression of
it ? Or, if they have any thing to fear from it, why
should they deprive the King of the only means of
knowing the truth ? What writer, what Frenchman
is there, who can at the present day say any thing
injurious to the most virtuous of Monarchs, which
would not be repelled by the conscience of the
whole world ? It is pager such a Prince as
this that men ought to be permitted to think
what they chase, and to say what they think—
that all laws of temporary convenience may safely
be dispensed with, only .seraing as they do to renew
again and again, political questions which it 's Elan.
peons to agitate, even though the fundamental law
has resolved them. The liberty of printing and pub-
lishing opinions would long since have produced im.
encase advantages, if in place of attempting to pre-
wet the abuses which are inseparable from it, care had
beentaken to repress, that is to say, to punish regu-
larly and constitutionally, the frequent misdemeanours
and but rare crimes which may have resulted from it.
Let vs never forget that Power puts itself in peril
whenever it seeks to withdraw rights which it has once

• sll4:' ,dt
Tbsspeekes closed by voting for all the,u; sof
the Project, except the ft, 7th, 9th, and 19th, to
which respectively he proposed amendments calcu-
lated to give a more liberal operation tiithe law, and
excepting ids° the 27th, relative to the deliberations of
the Jury, which he moved should be wholly expunged.
• M. Da Vu.t.su followed in a speech more unqua-
lifiedly against the Project, to most of the articles of
which he entered into specific objections. The whole
matter he ooaceived tote coniptitard in 4 few words;,

Along the banksof the Clyde. there was, on Thurs-
day, as close a fog as the inhabitants remember ever
In have seen. It was the cause of much disaster to
dr:steam-boats, for it was so dark that the men on
hoard could scarcely distinguish the banks even where
the Clyde is north-west. Some of those who left the
harbour had either to came to anchor or return. The
industry, employed as a luggage boat, laden with
above 4u hogsheads of sugar, and other goods, from
Greenock, unfortunately struck upon the dyke below
Erskine Ferry, and sunk. She was nearly covered with
eater. The Waterloo also was considerably injured
by turning against, the Britannia.

couturr OF FIFE.

A Meeting of the Landed Proprietors of the enuntt
of Fife- was held at Cupar, on the 11th instant. The
Meeting was called by public advertisement, for the
sole put pose of directing an Address of Condolence to
be presented to the PRINCE ReoraT, upon the late
very melancholy occasion. The Eatl of MORTON,
the Lord Lieutenant of the County, was in the Chair,
and proposed Addresses to the Paisce REGENT, the
QUEEN, and Prince LEOPOLD. The first was unani-
mously agreed to ; but the question being put upon
the Address to the Queen,
Mr. STUART (nonearn) rose, and said, that the
proposition no submitted to the Meeting, had taken
him completely by surprise, having only heard of it
few minutes before, and that he felt himself placed
in a more painful situation than had ever before hap-
pened to him at any public meeting-Ist, On account
of the nature of the motion itself, which he found him-
self bound to opposc—and 2dly, because it had been
brought forward by the Noble Lord, towards whom,
it he knew himself at all, he entertained not the
slightest personal hostilty. Indeed, every private
feeling led him to wish that the motion to which
he now objected, had rather been made by any other
individual in the room than by the Noble Lord.—
He neither knew nor cared, whether any one enter-
tained the same views on the subject with himself;—
but, even although he should stand alone, he saw
sufficient grounds for opposing the measure. His
reasons were of such a nature, that he could not, con-
sistently with the respect he.bore for the Royal Fa-
miy, explain them at a public meeting. He declared
himself as firmly attached to the House of Hanovtr.
and to the principles which brought that family to
the throne, as the Noble Lord could be ; and he
thought it necessary to state, to prevent all miscon-
ception, that he believed that the Constitution, as
established at the Revolution, had caused the people
of this country to enjoy a greater portion of happiness
than had been enjoyed by any other people for a•
similar period. He was quite aware of the propriety
of unanimity in such a meeting, and he saw but one
way of attaining it, and which he professed himself
willing with that view to adopt. The meeting had,
he said, been called for a special purpose, to address
the Prince Regent ; and, as that'rneasure had been
unanimously agreed t.. it occurred to him that the
minute. s.) far as respected that object,- Illight W
made up. with the sediment or names erg* persons
present i that a second minute might be madrup of
a meeting to address the Queen, in the proeeedmgs
of which he would take no part, so that his name, and
the names of any other persons who thouillit as he did,
might be left oat ; and that a Sd Minute might be made
up, including
.the names of all, as he presumed all
would concur in the reprietyof addressing Prince Leo-
pold. Fur himself he could only say, that he never
would concur in any measure of which he `4O entirely
disapproved, as traostnitting an Address to the Queen
upon this occasion ; and he conceived, that if the pro-
posal he had made was not adopted by the Chair,
he, or any Member of this Meeting. was entitled to
limit the business of the Meeting to the sole purpose
for which it was called, vie. to address the Regent.
It was certainly highly proper that an Address should
be voted to Prince Leopold; and he would, therefore,
rather wish the proposal he had made to be adopted.
Lord Morrow objected to that proposal, on the
ground of its irregularity. Mr. Stuart had not told
them how long—half an hour—or what space, they
were to wait between each meeting ; and he had yet
to learn that any Member of the Meeting could limit
its business in the way Mr. Stuart had pointed out.
Mr. STUART, in explanation, said. that the three
minutes might be immediately made up according to
the method he had proposed, merely marking the al:
teration of the sederunt in each.
Sir JOHN ANsvarrnaa did not see how he could
refuse his assent to the Address to her Majesty,
although lie thought it was to be regretted that the
motion for this Address bad been made. The County
had been taken at unawares, and the want of unani-
mity, occasioned was very unlucky.
Sir R. C. Fuousom concurred generally in the view
whir* Mr Stuart bad taken.
The Earl of Rosumn spoke to the point of form
alone, •and seemed to coincide in opinion with Lord
Morton, that it would be an irregular proceedir.g;to
frame separate minutes. •
Mr. Faaousos, of Raith, was rather inclined to
go into Mr. Stuart's proposal, conceiving that it was
the only way to extricate the Meeting from the di-
lemma in which they were placed. Three Addresses
had been proposed, and it was impossible to say how
many more, to the Princess of Wales. or others of
the Royal Family, may be brought forward.
Lord MORTON thought it very odd that Mr. Stuart
had not stated a single reason for tot adopting the

Address.
Mr. STUART replied, that nothing which the Nod
ble Lord bad said, or might say, should induce him
publicly to state those reasons, which, on the present
' oecaliee, had influenced his conduct. The proposal
be had made at the outset Was not with a view to his
own .accommodation, for he was not in the habit of
shrinking from the public avowal of his JentinillAti
when be found it necessary ; but ha had been anxious
that at such a Meeting as this, the appearance of ups-
amity should be maintained. He had not the slightest
objection, on his own account, that his dissent sbouw
be marked in the minute in some such terms as these
for reasons which his respect for the reigning ta-
wny prevented him from stating."
Lord BIORTORp after saying that Mr. STUART
might do in that as he chose, put the question. Many
r bands were held up both for and against the Address.
Lord Manion decided, that the number of bands for
the Meese was the greater, and that the Address
eve** Some persons in the roonvtlyiqglit
otherwise ; but they probably were in the "Jodi; of
the Gentlemen who opposed the measoti inAliestlas
did not isfterwards require that the names Ifithe per-
' sous present should be called over. The test& of
' the Meeting therefore is, that the Addresses to the
Prince Regent and and
Prince Leopold were unani-
moody agreed to; and that to her Majesty. on a chew
of hands, agreed to by a majority. •
