so meanly of his political capacity as massy
do. We see he grows wiser by experience. His
enemies will be the more easily subdued et brought
to terms by treating them, when in his power, with
clemency. Whereas our men who conduct the war,
convert their friends in the long run into enemies,
or at least leave them in a state of indifference as to
our prosperity. They 3o not even take the least
pains to conciliate the dispositions of the people at
home, although they are ever and anon to sacrifice
their last shilling, or pour out their last drop of
blood, in support of their sytem.
The Funre ECI[IIIIIIL, k seems, as Governor
of the city of llan.burgh, required a contribution of
sic millions of marks; and although he was inform-
ed that such a suns (nearly 800,0001.) could not be
raised, yet has he adoptorl no measure of rigour to
eilfOree it, bat has pr0br1,.... written to BoNAPARIE
to inform him of the case as it stands. Pay they

Count de PIMIGORD,-44 11 fact de £'argent, beau-

only people who want " money," and " much mo-
at?' too. But the more We think of the unhappy
fate of ilemburgh, and with it that of the other
Haase Towns, the more ere we filled with grief and
regret at its disasters, and the deception it will impute
to us. BLit Mieisters it seems are going to make up for
their supineness in not affording foreign aid to oar
Allies, by the activity they are employing in recruit.

The Princess of WaLis was at the Opera last
night. Her Royal Highness entered her Box a little

she was greeted by three distinct mends of applause,

A. Bill is now in its progress through Parliament,
fee the more speedy trial and punishment of offences
committed by soldiers on service in Spain and Por-
tugal. The Preamble sets forth, that from the fre-
quent change of place of the troops, and other dr.
cnmstancet great delay and difficulty occur in punish-
ing acts of violence committed on the persons and
property of the inhabitants ; anti that it would be fa-
vourable to disCipline and good order, were facility
given for the immediate trial and punishment of stab
offences. It therefore enacts, that any Officer com-
manding a division, brigade, detachment, or distinct
party, may assemble a Court-Martial, though he
should not have received from his Majesty, or any
pnrsou having his Majesty's authority, a warrant to
that effect ; and that such Court-Martial may try
and pnish any such offender according to the Ar-
ticles of War; but the sentence not to be executed
till approved of, and confirmed, by -the General
commanding in Chief.
There has not been known for some years such a
profusion of mackerel as are now on the Sussex coast.
On Sunday and Monday last they were sold at
Brighton for five shillings per hur.dred—the bun.
dred being six score and twelve fish. They were
retailed at 20 ford shillings many of them weighing
abobe a pound. The quantity brought ashore on
Monday as so great, that the fishing companies
could not procure carriages and horses, sufficient to
bring,them to London.

Among the few articles extracted from the Ame-
rican Papers, is a Proclamation issued by General
`...4r GEORGE BECKWITH, Governor of Barbadoes, in
reference to the case of a Mr. Swan, a citizen of
Maryland, in the United States of Araer:ex, exact-
ing from him a parole, like a prisoner of and
treating him as such, though acknowledgedly not
ttsplayed to a military or naval capacity by his own
government) het engaged in mercantile concerns.
We are sorry to find ourselves in a great measure
obliged to 'discountenance the acts and motives of our
Government, beams it may to some appear like ad-
voted% the cause of our enemies. Not so II we lament
the &nation of a war maintained without fa sufficient
object; and we regret to 11410 any measure dopted by
tile Cabin* of Great Britain, or its accredited agents,
sash as the Governor of a Colony, whilb tends to
pigmies the already too embittered copes of hos-
tility. The step of General BECRIVI+H appears
stresgly imbued with the principle which gave rise
to the first Orders in Collodi, to the Deere, of Mi•
lan, and he further retaliatory orders of our Go-
vernment. We shall be glad to be convirced by the
defenders if the measures of our Ministers, that our
view of it ,s not correct.

The Letter of YCIITAN, in our Paper this day,
addressed to B. STsensg, Esq. relative to the Bill
which it to be discussed on Friday next, respecting
the regulations in the Prerogative Courts, and also
uPon the iniquitous trade of false papers and false
"athq, is highly deserving of attention; and we trust
that sonic of oar independent Members of Perlis-
ThPlie will not suffer a Bill of so much importance to
11 Paint' into a law without the fullest consideration.
