THEE STATESMAN:

LONDON :

WEDNESDAY, Juns.l3, 1810.
Tut French Ganeral, whom 'we yesterday stated
to hare been, picked up at sea, tutus out to be nu
less a person than General SAnasztx, who was
second in command to HUMBERT, when the
French landed at Kitlals, in Ireland; in the au.
tumn of 1798. We understand that, in cense.

[louse. We lament we cannot go further into this
speech. But it was nut only this, but every Speaker-
on that day, who graced the occasion by the stretrgtil
of their though's and ex pressions.Theliouse ofCon...
mons have begotten a genius as well as patriotism
in the country, fur which at least we thauk them :

for, soniew.iy, it is natural to man's nature to
thank even the unintentional and brute object of

(pence of some apprehensions of being arrested
by the French Government, he determined to
plac.e himself beyond its power, and tqlopted‘ the
extraordinary resolution of seeking a temporary I
asylum in this country. In pursuance of WI de.
termination, he proceeded to the coast with his
servant, procured a boat and put to sea, and was
taken up in the manner we have stated. He re.
mains for the present at the Ship Inn, at Dover;
where nobody is suffered to see him but the Cont.
mandisigOilieur of the Garrison, the Agent of the
Transport Board, and the Port Collector. As we
arc not sufficiently acquainted with the nature of
the offence Imputed to General SA RRAZIpI, or the
grounds of 'his apprehensions, we cannot under.
bite to pronounce upon his motives for coming to

its good or pleasere ; and it would be but a
little part of the gratitude we owe the House, to
%yarn them of the danger they incur from this fact.
if they are afraid of the,power that spriugs from
heated and impassioned minds, and whettEel ge-
nius, ;:ey hove mil 'Ned that power mid that ge.
Mils, till these nearly till all space. Let them,
then, beware of what they ore doing,,,4lut
let not the couNTitY be fearful of the remits
for the zeal,*set in motion on this occasion, is 11
zeal accompanied by a proper feeling and know..
lege of the trueinterests of the country, and the
genius elicited by the passing events, is •of that
nature -which alone is safe, because it is multi:m*lQ
by great good sense. The Illuus6 has every
thing to fear, the nation nothing—and why will not
the House of Cotninuns learn this in time? Mr.
T. RAwsoN, of Warilsend, Capt. WAttn, of die
Sheffield Local Militia ; Mr. June BAI L ET, anti
the Rev. Mr. Pine,. severed!, addressed the

conduct in the Chair. •

this country,
The Session of Parliament now draws towards a
close, and it is expected that early next week a
Prorogation will take place. But the few days
which retuain will be occupied by discussions of
as great importance as any that Imre come before
the two Houses during the wholu year, and far,

more importaut than those which usually take
place at similar periods of the Session.—We car.

nestly. hope that this circumstance will not prevent
those matters from receiving the attention which
OLT so highly deserve.
The Address to be moved in the Lords, this
day, by Earl GREY, will produce a full debate
on the State of the Nation ; and the same sub.
jeet must be brought before the Rouse of Com-
mons to-morrow on the Vote of Credit—which, by
the way, is of a strange amount, considering the state
of our affairs abroad. We understand that Mr.
WHITBREAD has repeatedly signified his
,intention
of bringing this large subject under review upon
that occasion, according to the regular and t?sta.
Wished practice of the best- times of-the Constitu.
dun. The Bill for preventing Bribery at Elec..
tions, introlluced by Mr. C. W. Wamtre, will
also be discesspd -in the Commons to.day ; and.
Ms. Bitoeuttast's motion on the Slave Trade
(which, we regret to find, still survives all the.
blows that have been aimed at it) comes also on
this eveni•q;. There are, moreover, tome im-
portant Bills in bath Bosses on Friday—among
others the Scotch Judicature Bill. A motion of Lord
CuCIMANE,usi theCutirt of Admiraltyland probably
the last Middlesex Petition, will likewise be dis-
cused to-day ; anti Mr. C:IEETEy'S motion on
the East India, Company's aff.ars, stands, for to-
morrow. While we lament that the indecent
hurry of the Ministers to get rid of the Peril:a-
nima, should make it necessary to crowd into three
days so many important discussions—,disiussions,
of which, in former times, any one might have
occupied a Session, we trust the Representatives
of the Pc9ple will skew their regard for the .best
interests of the nation,
.and the character of Par-
liament, by giving an attendance suited to the oc.
casion, and not allowing such welglitf matters to
be hurried through, as the Gukerument would du.
sire, in empty houses. . .

The DUKE was very composed the early part of •
the night. His Royal Highness got up about
11 o'clock; he has tint been confined to his bed
since the 3d day after his attack.
It has been said, that the hegociation for the
change of prisoners with France was broken oft.
in Cutilegnence of a most unreasonable demand hr.
the' Government of that country. We believe it
will he tuned, that hitherto no such obstruction
has occurred. Thu following is an extract of It
letter from Paris, of the sth• instant, in which lb,
writer alludes to the proposed arrangement
"The Minister of Marine is to arrive here this,
week, and I presume that the final &Wein*,
lion as to 60 exchange of prisoners only wails fu;
his sanction."

Letters faun GaMeta, by the Gold, nch, were
delivered yesterday morning. The following is aft
