himself, might be done, had it not been for the
accidents of wind and weather. He next adverted
to the arguments advanced against the retention of
the Island of Walcherce, and though feeling with
deep regret for the valuable lives which had been
lost, still he contended that Ministers, if they had
hastily abandoned such a position, whickseutre..
lined their naval force in the Scheldt, woldil hay,

were sent out during the progress and continuance
of the malady, and even General Fox was at that
particular period sent out to take the command Of
that fortress. The same course was observed
when, during the last war, St. Domingo was if.
tem,' with a most malignant fever. From the
evidence before the llouse, it was discernable, that
if blame was merited, and he believed it was, it
ought to rest with those in the medical department,
who did nut take steps to procure those palliatives
which might have checked the inveteracy of the
disease. After many other observations upon the
evidence, the Honoureble General concluded with
moving, as an amendment, that after the word

of Austria in the critical state of the war on the Continent,
at tNe period of the undertaking of the Expedition. Consi-
deriug also the probability of success arising from the re-

is of opinion that his Majesty's Ministers were jasttfied iu
applying the naval and military swans in a manner which
cousbined's great uational object with the prospect of afford-
int assistance to our allies in advising the undertak-

which it seemed to be attended—difficulties which have op

be provided against, by a mate of wind and weather Skil

Mr. IiERVERT (uf Kerry) -expressed his
anxiety to decide unpin this (location solely uptis

country's great commercial advantages.
from' the evidence befOre him, he must sal, that

iiisters.
Mr. MA RRYAT said, that he had attended
whole of the Investigation, had heard all
fleece, and had read the whole mass of papers
which had been produced. Exercising the best
judgment he could form upon the subject, he had
no doubt of the propriety of sending a British
armyrt6 the, Continent, in order to make a diver.
siun in favour of our allies. After the glorious.
Sttempt which Austria had made to oppose the
tyranity of. France, and when the fate of the war
appeered so nearly poised at the ever.inemorabk
battle of Aspern, .he thought the Ministers' tat
this country would have deserved thebiglimt blame
if they had neglected to bring forward the vrhole
strength and resources of the enspire, in aid of
Austria. The Noble Lord (Porchater) had said that
the time and season were ill. chosen ; but it must be
recollected, that it came out in the evidence, that
there was no material part of the army of this
country in a situation for effective service before
this lime. If a corps bad been tent to the North
of Gidestly Instead of Walebezent that corps
would neither have beets sufficient to cope ilitgly
with the force which the enemy could bring lo
bear against it, nor to protect any insurrection
which could be. then formed. It would be also
entirely deprived it the co-operation of our Nary,
which was a deserhition of force that was of all
others the must terrible to the enemy. The objects
of the Eepedition were iwo.fold : the first related
to British objects only, and thu second to a diver.
siren in favour of Austsia. Now as far as related
to British ollicets abate, he thought it most beat.
hnowledged that the, capture of a Certified town,
with garrison of9ooo men, and the'destruction
of the !Mall of Flushing, were events of sense im.
portance. it was also his firm opinion, that the
elterier objects of the Expedition would blies hem
obtained if it had not been for the very extraordi.
nary state of the Mind sus weather. Although theie
bad bt.we military ()pinions that this Expedition
was dolibtful and hazard ous,yetit must be recollect.
ed that such opioioos had been given of other Expe..
ditions, Which had completely succeeded. When the
Admiral who commanded off Basque Rpads was,
asked his opinion about attacking theYitesteh fleet
with fire-ships, he replied, " that althotigh j was
a most horrible mode of warfare,* and the attempt
was dangerous and almost desperate, it might pet.
ejfily succeed." Notwithstanding this opinion,
the attempt wet made, and it succeeded. lir

DUTCH PAPERS to the 26th, were received last
night. They contain, as usual, (*pious accounts
of the Preparations for the approaching Marriage,
and are not in other respects very interesting.
The following articles are the moat important :
CurcLici (in the Bay of Cadiz), Fen. 15.—Yesterday
re Dann was celebrated here with great pomp. The Royal
Antacsty WIMI then read, and the Civil and Spiritual Autho-
rities to:ik the .nth of fidelity to King leveret I.
All the iadividenls who have been able to escape from the
blood of Lena, state, that the greater part of the inbabitaats
are Itesttle to the project of dereadiag the place. The confo.
sine I. already greet, and articles of the lint necessity have
risen to such a pitch, that even the rich can oily with diffi-
culty proeure ahem. The sensible pan of the people are
kept in a stale of terror by the swats of England.
" BANES 00 Tat: SCII ELOT, Manes 12.—A1l matters
of apprehended difercnce hymens the Courts of Russia and
Freer,' are finally and amicably adjested, so that there Is
mut the smallest chance of a disagreement between these two
Powers.
Pacibe proposals bite been made, or will be Immedi-
ately coastuainited, to Great Britain by France upon the
aecasien of tbe august matriaseiml alliance between France
and Austria." •
Larissa Manen 23.—Letters from. Austria speak of
the appreeching marriage of the Archduke Fat% en, eldest
brother of the reignlog Empress, with the henditnry Pi in-
cest of SAXON Y. It is &diked, that after this marriage, the
Archduke Fa &wets will be declared King of Pot & so. The
whole of the Principality of Bayreuth is to be united with
the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Douse Rene. MA RCM I4.—We leista from Itatisbon, that
on. the sth instant that town and territory were taken posses-
lies of, by French troops, and on the 15th formally delivered
op to the Bavarian troops. .1t is thought probable that Lan-
dau, Ravensprug, and some other districts on the Western
frontiers of &MUM, nil be ceded to Wirtemherg, and that
the PRINCE PRIMATE will have the territories of Henan
and Falb in lieu of 11,atisben.

WE differ greatly from those whn believe that
the attempt of Ministers to divert .the attention of
the Public from the Scheldt discussion, will be
successful. It will recoil on the heads of those
who suggested the stratagem, and must teud to
open the eyes of the People of England to their
real situation.

The House of Commons denies the right of the
People of England to censure or animadvert on
the Conduct of their Reprebentatives—their Dc.

they may be called; and Mi. J. G. Jorts, for

given to the Commanding Officer theism Monk;
by Brown, the prisoners were taken late custody
and the sheep proved to belong to Mr. Payee,sei
to have been taken out of a field near at hand.
They both denied the charge, alledging that Bruen

The nightly overflow of every place of Public
Amusemeut, cloarly manifests the political neces-
sity of increasing the number of Theatres in a
Metropolis Which is espaudiug on eery side with
a rapidity that defies all _speculation on the cense
of a paradox 56 istemplicable.
The horror of the liasliles, so coolly an.
flounced by NAPOLEON to havobeen established
by his late decree, is lost and absorbed in the
magnificent preparations for fetes and specta.
,cles throughout the, French Empire. Nur is
the political necessity of " panens et Circenses,"
unfelt -by our M►nisters, who well know
the powerful operation of public amusements
in diverting the public mind from the contempla.
lion of the miserable and humiliated situation into
•hich the country has been reduced by the infa-
tuated messurts of the last 20 years.
The political necessityof nut only tolerating,
but encouraging amusements, by which the idle
hours of the population of this mighty city
leaves but little doubt of the success of the petition,
now before the Lords of the Council, for I third
Theatre.

It were, however, desirable that the amuse-
ments of the town should be diversified—amd we
witnessed with great pleasure the numerous .andi_
erste by which Mr. BANNISTER was buuourcd at
the Freemason's Tavern on Monday.
We have neither time our space to enter into a
minute description of the dish' with • which
trotted the public. Suffice it to say, that it was,
truly ebraic and highly gratified his heareri.
The company, ikbough very numerous, was se-
led. In our Thcotrer) a malt hesitates to placel
his family in a situation where'by possibility the
eyes, and ear. of female delicacy may be wounded.
At Mr. BA NM 'STEIL'S gillClllifißlent the company
was unexceptionable. This is a contideratiol,
which must necessarily weigh with that part of the
public who are restrained from indulging in the
innocent amusements of the Drama, by the (calk
of witnessing those scenes before the stage, the
frequency of which is so mitch to be regretted.,
