STATESMAN

LONDON:
VusiDAT, AUGUST 11, 1812.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ:UER and Mr.
CANNING have constant interviews, which, it is said,
will terminate in the immediate introduction of the
latter into once.
Lord WILW:INGTON, it is said, is to be created a
Marquis, and Lord MuLonxsc is to be raised to the
dignity of au Earldom.
Policies were opened at LLOYD'S .yesterday, on
the defeat of MLaMoNr. Twenty guineas were in
many instances given to receive 100, if he was not
beaten on or before the Ist of this month.
The following Notice was posted up at LtoTe's
yesterday :—" The Lords Comissioners of his Ma-
jcsty's Privy Council have directed
_particular in-
structions to be transmitted to the Commanders of
his*Majesty's ships, not to detain American vessels
proceeding from Great Britain to the United States
with Licences; and have also directed Instructions
to be sent to the Courts of Vice-Admiralty, in Bri-
tish America aqd the West Indies, to liberate any
such vessels as may be sent in there, and suffer them
immediately to proceed to their respective ports of
destination. '--After the discqrdant sentiments we
have seen between two Great Officers of Govern.
meat, *e are anxious to be satisfied as to this ques-
tion, whether the Lords of the Admiralty will ac-
cede to this arrangement of the Privy Council, and
surrender the chance of acquiring the droits they

claim ?
The Austrian Obscreer, of the 21st ult. contains
the following article:--" The most ridiculous. re.
ports have been spread with regard to, the force of
the Russian army. it is beyond doubt that the
Russian Grand Army scarcely musters 300,000 ef-
fective men. The principal force is concentrated
upon the Dwina, where lutrenchments have been
formed at different points."

Dispatches from Lord WELLIWIPTOM have riot yet

remarked, that tha regular weekly dispatch from

Catarina, which place she left on the 30th alt. six
days after the battle is said to linve been fought at
Salamanca; and it should be remembered, that the latter
place is scarcely 200 miles from Corunna, therefore
there was more time than sufficient for the news to have ;
arrived before the sailing of the vessel, which is ex. ;

important victory. It will also be recollected, that

pears that during the last three years, the number of
French officers, masters of privateers, and .merchant,

—242 have been retaken, the -rest have escaped.—
The number of English officers who have escaped is
not stated.

Maria Martel, the daughter of an aged couple at
Metz, was on the 12th ult. sentenced to ten years in-
carceration, for having repeatedly struck her mother,
on her refusal to assign to her some small landed pro•
perty.

A highly informed Gentleman, just arrived from.
France, states, that it is generally supposed at Paris
that his Holiness has at length been induced to yield
to the persuasions of BONAPARTE ; and that the first
act by which he would be called upon to manifest
this disposition, would be by giving his benediction
to the new kingdom of Poland. The Catholic reli-
gion being the national religion of Poland, it is sup-
posed that the re-establishraeut of the nation will be
highly gratifying to'his Holiness, and that he will
readily second BONAPARTE, by giving his sanction to
the measure. It is said at Paris, that the Foes will
henceforth reside in that city, as being tlie grind ca-
pital of Catholic Europe.
Advices were yesterday received from Bourdeans,
from whence the latest account are to the 15th alt.
Bread was at nine sous the pound, and the wetand
cold season, led to the apprehension of an unfavourd
able harvest time, hut the crops were abundant.
Marshal MAssvci, Prince of &sling, arrived at
"Path on the 29th4 from the waters at Bowies.
The following Officers are to be Brigadier-Generals

were both wounded at Albuna•

A ship of war is arrived at Plymouth, with dis.

lon. The first division of the armament from Sicily
--was waiting with the utmost impatience for the arri-
val of the second. Near a month had elapsed from
the sailing of the first division—by which, no doubt,
the enemy would gain intelligence of the expedition,
though they may not be able to ascertain its object.
The second division was to sail from Palermo on the
2d of July.
Pressing orders have been received at Plymouth,
for the outfit of all the smaller vessels; and the arti-
ficers are to work additional time.

It is stated, that, in many iustantes, attestations
used for enlisting soldiers have been printed without
adding the words Heirs and Successors to his MA.. i
J EST Y, contrary to a General Order 'sued on that.
subject, and which has occasieued a reference to the
Law Authorities, the soldiers decliuing to be again
attested under the new form.

A subscription of two thousand guineas has been
set on foot for the purpose of purchasiv a service of
plate to be presented to Mr. BuovottAst, as a testi-
mony of the sense entertained of :tis successful ef-
forts by the Merchants and Manufr.onrers. This
subscription has called forth the .scurrility of the
Orders in Council Men---they would rather reward a
Statesman for plunging his country into war with I,
America, than for exerting himself to avert that ca-
lamity.
The other day Mr. SIIRRID IN, in complimenting
the understatitliog of the Marchioness of Hrirreottn,
threw in a sly co:nmentlation .of her personal beauty.
Upon her rallying him for flattering an old -woman, he
replied, that age was, in her case, intended to make
hor more closely resemble the inhabitants of Heaven,
for the Angels were the most ancient as well as the
most beautiful of Gen's works.

On Sunday morning, a boy was defrauded of a
large quantity of valuable clean linen, which lie was '
taking home to NIADOISON'S Subscription-house in
Piccadilly; by a fellow standing at the door of that
house, respectably dressed, who began scolding the
boy for being so late, and took the bundle from him. '
The boy saw the fellow go into the house; but it
turned out, that when he got la, he pretended that he
had mistaken it for Sir Fit %NCH BURDETT'S.
It is well known, that when black cattle are feed.
ill on clover grass at this season, particularly when
there is dew on the grass, they are often lost by wind
in the stomach. A few gills.of whale oil, with an
equal quantity of whiskey, poured down their
throats, is an immediate cure.
The parliamentary phrase " expedient" has often
created a greet deal of conjecture, in order to come
at its true meaning. A Wit the other day observed, ,
that its signification was never accurately ascertained
until the last Session of Parliament, and then it trzs
found by the literary characters in the House that it
was compounded of the Latin words " ex," signify-
ing " out of," and " spec, hope," so that saying
any measure was expedient, was saying that it was ,
" hopeless." The tax upon capital has already been
justly distinguished by this term.
On the night of 31st ult. fear prisoners confined
on board the Suffolk, effected their escape by hauling
in the grating of the after-prison and slipping over-
board.
The night was dark and favourable ; they took
a boat from the magazine, and were shortly after re-
taken (one excepted) by the Gantbicr cutter ; the one!
missing is the man that some years ago teetk.away
the buoy boat, and from the account of his comrade,
it is almost certain he is drowned; he bad a club leg,
and they waited for him to join theta upwards of oue
hoar.
The Recorder of London will make ills Report of
the remaining capital convicts under sentence of death
in Newgate, on Thursday neat, at two o'clock, to
his Royal Highness the Prince Itegentin Council, at
Carlton house.
On Sunday; Bob Dames, a well-known pick.
pocket, left London by the Worcester Coach, sup- ,
posed to be for, the purpose of attending the Races
there this week.
