THE STATESMAN.

ought le fall, investigation can alone show. That
Wai‘heren will beloved untenable against the tenni
which, at hit leisure, NAPOLZON will direct against
it, appears, from all that we can learn, ionise,
possible. The sickness of WOO of the garrison, al. ,
though of a nature not likely to be generally fetal,
necossarily incapacitates the men from doing duty;l
and may be expected to go through every regiment
in its tore. It will therefore require a perpe.
tual supply of troops, provisions, and water—
and It may be reasonably doubted whether, ender
these disadvantageous conditions, a depot for
smuggling our redundant commodities, be worth
having. The fleet in the Scheldt, is really of
very inferior importance as to the issue of the
eoetcst between us sad France, whose means of
building•' a Nary are far (rum being corufned to
that river.

will be seen that every succeeding account
from the Peninsula announces an increase of cala.
mity. The distress of the army under Lord Wtt.-
turcsow is hourly increasing ; and if the report
of Gen. Bsacsro an's having quitted the Purtu.
guese army, in consequence of the mutinous dispo-
sition which it has Manifested, is true, it may even
be feared whether the swords which were drawn in
conjunction with those of the British, will not
finally be turned against them by the Portuguese.
‘Via anxiously look for more authentic advice',
in the hope that there is much of exaggeration
in the accounts that have reached England. As
to maintaining permanently our footing in Por.
tugal, if the submission of Spain should be
accomplished, every one must see that such a hope
is absolutely chimerical.

THE Proclamation of the PRESIDENT of the
United States can have surprised no one—the
conditions of Mr. Easwina's arrangement
have not been fulfilled, and the whole ne.
guciatiun is to go over again—possibly %ids
an increased irritation on the minds of the
Americans. The consequence in this country is
already felt, by the instant advance of American
produce. To the obstacles thrown in the way of
the salu of our manufactures, will be stiperadded
the high price of the raw material, cotton—thus
doubling the difficulties of our manufacturers,
whose stocks will accumulate not only in (loan.
tity, but iit a greatly increased ratio, in value,
from the high price of the raw material.—
The im.iuutntly critical situation of England is,
however, inch, that it is difficult to perseetie
ourselves that Ministers will much longer ha.
&aril an experiment which threatens in its
consequences calamity—of which the czte•nt is
far beyond human foresight or sagacity. if Mr.
JACKSON'S instructions are !swift—that is, if they
are consonant nut only with policy, but with jus.
tire and common sense, the intercourse with Ame.
rica will bo speedily restored; boot T, unfortunately,

they should be (heisted in the same spirit of arro.
gatit fully, and domineering hostility, w Pilch has hi.
therto marked our supercilious diplomatic corrc.
spondence with that country--England will feel

[EXTRACT OF A LITTER.]
" Nothing is here worthy of communication,
for, indeed nothing is now talked or in our streets
but the deplorable state of our garrison and of the
whole army, from the dreadful progress of a ma-
lignant fever. The average yeLtertlay was, that
there were 9000 men in the various hospitals,
and the deaths are now so frequent, that it has'
been given out in orders to discontinue the usual
military honours at the funerals of soldiers. On
Sunday I was in Middleburgh, and saw 13 officers
of the With regiment lying in a waggon, all suf.
feting under this malignant disease.

one league from the rear of the French. Ile con.
reeled himself in a wood, hoping to intercept
some of the enemy's corps on their retreat. Un-
fortunately they took another road. This force
was too feeble to venture forth after the battle of

DUBLIN, Sei.r. 9.
On Monday evening, their Graces the Duke and
Duchess of Richmond, with their suite, passed
through Clonmel, on their way to Medfield, the
seat of Mr. Bagwell. Tuesday, they were re.
ceivcd on coming into town with military honours;
and the streets as they passed were lined by the
-10th, and Armagh Militia regiments. They were
waited upon at the Court-house by the Mayor and
Corporation, where his Grace was presented by
Mr. Bagwell, in the capacity of Chief Magistrate,
with his Freedom of the Corporation in an eleevit
gold boa, accompanied by an Address, to which
his Grace immediately returned a suitable answer.
At the entertainment on Saturday, we must Nut
omit noticing the adability and condescension with
which his Grace the Duke of Richmond received
the attentions of the crowded meeting, whom he
honoured with his presence. He seised every oe-
' casiou of expressing the interest he felt in the pro-
motion of every thing that tends to the benefit
and advantage of Ireland. On taking leave, his
Grace, in referring to the late disturbances of the
county, rejoiced that the activity and public spi-
rit of thu Magistracy, had, in a great measure,
quelled the spirit which he did nut conceive to be
of any serious or permanent consequence. His
Grace took this opportunity of oapreseiag his full
approbation of the conduct of Dr. Power, the
ClalkeliC Bishop (who& he addressed in per.
son), 'and of others of hit principles, to whom
be felt no reserve in returning his thanks. Ile
had, on his appnintiniiit to the Government of
Ireland, received Ids Majesty's instructions to
make no distinetion between Protestant and Ca.
tholic—wiih this injunction his Gr.uce h:t•l'st rictly
compiled, as fat ma the existing hes would admit,
.which laws it was not in his power to deviate
from. At all events, he is ruiltitleat, and had
orrery reason to believe, that all descriptions of
its Majesty's subjects would have no hesitation
tr co.operate in the support of the laws, and in
counteracting the machinations of all his enemies,
eMber foreign or domest ie.— Dublin Evening Post.

Dispatches have arrived from Cork, announcing
the lading of troops from that station, destined,
according to report, for Spain.
Right hundred men, belonging to the 9th and

ports, that on the fith inst. the number of sick
in the British army was estimated at 7000 men,

Hot put into execution. The Exchange was at

report of Don MoILLA haring been killed at the

would have been noticed in the French or other
foreign Journals.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the

—" For more than a week east, we have had daily
scenes of disagreeable punishments and Courts.
Martial. The first prisoner tried was a marine,
belonging to the Bulwark, on charges of sedition,
and attempting to raise a mutiny in the ship ; he
was found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged on
board his own ship, which sentence was carried
into execution on IVednesday last. Two of his
comrades were tried with him, on similar charges,
and sentenced to receive 300 lashes each round the
fleet. lam sorry to state, that the Bulwark has
been for some time past in a disordered state : the j
severe measures, however, which were necessarily
had recourse to, have happily suppressed this spi-
rit, cad brought back the misguided men to a
sense of their duty. This morning (July 13), a
Court-Martial was held on board our ship, for the
trial of Lientesant WALSEOII, of the marines,
belougieg to his Majesty's ship Colossus, ea charges
of riotous and ungentlemanly conduct, exhibited
against him by the Captain of the said ship. The
Court, after a long trial, found him guilty, and
he was sentenced to he cashiered."
The following unlucky accident happened in

PROM 7'llE SPANISH PAPIRS.
SEITILLs, Ana. 17.---Among the contemptible
and frivolous Proclamations which the French
have published, in order to justify, with bastions,
their abominable cnterpriass,and divert the Spanish
, people from the performance of what they have,
sworn to do, by devoting tbetwaelves in behalf of
their liberty and honour, we have seen auneto be
•compared with that which has been lately aunt.
fated through Catalonia by Marshal Augereau, re-
cently seat by Bonaparte to take the command in
that faithful province. Eaprcssions so low, ideas
so wretched and false, could only proceed from
the pen of freebooters, who labour, in order to
"smelt the more, to cover their atrocities with the
cloak of justice. It would seem as if Augeresu
treated the Spaniardslike s►tvarge Indians, in held.
inn such a language. If ho purposed by means of
it to gain the ear of Catalans, into whose towns he
sent it by secret emissaries, we will publish it en.
tire, and without variation, that Spaniards miry
find aa it occasion to despise the Apostle of Na.
poky., and deride his eloquence, at the same time
that we bewail the immense evils with which he
has every where marked his administration.; and
the robberies and assassinations which ere so fro-
quota, repeated in this unhappy Peninsula.
