11-li' STATEEIMAINT.

We congratulate the nation at large on the signal
triumph obtained last night in the !louse of Com-
mons, by the cause of honour, ititlypenilence, and
morality, against the whole horde of Court followerS,
Ministerial retainers, and pensioned flatterers—nor
are we less gratified at this than we are to perceive
that the Representative of the City of Westminster,
Lord CocnaANE, by taking his seat last night, was
enabled to add his voice to the balsa of patriots who
have preserved the country from the eternal disgrace
of bestowing 60001. a year, wrung from the distresses
of a suffering and oppressed people, upon his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cusraera.seu. What must
the emu be, who had not a single advocate as to his
own claims, bat rested them solely on the extraordi-
nary ground of his being it King's son ? It is, in-
deed, a triumph, a decisive and conclusive one; and,
we trust, that the Pntace ItEdr*T's Ministers, and
his Royal Highness himself, will learn from it, that
virtue and integrity alone confer clainis on the
bounty of the people, which bounty our Royal
Family has enjoyed to a most unprecedt;tited extent.—
And what an exposure has followed this attempt to
make the vessel overflow The public mind Is shock-
ed as much at the darkly hinted grounds for re-
fusing this Grant, as at the audacity of the attempt
thus made, not only to lay fresh and most unneces-
sary burtliens on the people, but to obtain approba-
tion of what the public voice so generally pronounces
to be reprehensible. Some very serious reflections
have been made on the subject of the very extraor-
dinary insinuations, which had been thrown out in
the course of this discussion against the Duke of
CUMBERLAND it, the House of Commons. It would
he indeed an advantage that nothing mysterious
should exist, where any member of the Royal Family
is concerned. All should be open and clear as noon-
day—where much is given so►nething is expected.—
They should be all like Ch:SAR'S wife, not only
pure, but beyond suspicion. And that this is
not the case with the Personage in question, is
palpable ; indeed the charges which have been
made against . him have never been attempted
to be contradicted, farther than by the bare and
naked reply, that he is " a King's Som."—
" Oh ! forlunati nimiusn !" too happy, indeed,
would be " these privileged beings" if they were to
imagine that they could set decorum, decency, and
politic and private morality at defiance with the most
I perfect impunity. That it is not sn, the great
triumph of last night is a positive and most valuable
demonstration. In good old times 'such a defeat
would have been conclusive as to the existence of
any Ministry—a majority against the Administra-
tion was considered the signal of its dissolution.—
Bet how much more so would it have been if that
majority had been produced on a question in-
volving the immediate interests of a most fit•
vourile Member of the Royal Fatuity, supported
by all the weight of the whole Government, aided
by the active influence of the Chief himself !
It is for modern impudence to retain office under
such signal disgrace, in which the Administration it-
self is not only deep!) concerned, but which, by their
extreme imbecility and weakness in presuming to
bring forward a question which should have been
buried in the deepest obscurity, has, in a consider.
able degree, itivolsett the whole Royal Family, and
certainly totally ruined the character of the Per-
sonages in question,e Ito have been declared in a pub-
lic Assembly of the great Council of the nation, un-
deserving of the respect and the boon which they
crave. Surely such an Administration has, by an act
of such consummate folly, signed its own death war-
rant ! For with what face can they, or any of them,
venture into the presence of their Royal Master after
basing advised him to send a Message to Parliament
with which it could not comply, and that on the
ground that it would be sanctioning immorality ?
after having been the cause of loading the brother of
I their Royal Master with an odium which it will re-
quire no small effort to remote ?

" WAR DEPARTMENT, Jailor 3, 1811
" It appears by a dispatch frets the Duke of
Ww.INGIum, dated Orville, the t tith June, that
the Citadel of Cambray surrendered on the 25th, and
l'eronne was taken (with very ttillitig loss) on the
following day.
" The Allied Armies had continued their move-
ments towards Paris. On the '2Bth Marshal Itt.tr-
cttxtt's troops were at Crespy, Srnlis, and La Ferte
M don ; his advanced guard would he on the 29th at
St. Dmtis and Gonesse. The Duke of WELLING-
TON'S army was between St. Just and Taub on the
281 h, and would arrive on the Oise on the following

LORD COCIIR VSE..—taind COCHRANE'S application
for permission to participate in the common privi.
lege of taking exercise in the open air, in the prison-
yard, for the benefit of his health, has been refused,
and in consequerce he has submitted to the payment
of the fine, under a strong prwigkwritten on the
bark of the Batik note of 10001. by orhich the fine
was paid. The Noble Lord then took. his seat in
the House of Commons, and it is curioussthat by his
siug'e vote, the job of the additional alloVance to
the Duke of CumBERLA MD was defeated. •
