One of SHAKESPC tnt's characters onys—" NeW.
metle honours do forget men's names." The Mini,try.
it is said, are determined to try if an oblivion of I
other particulars can be produced by the same means,
properly applied, in other departments of the public
service. Many are of opinion that our heroes stand
in need of no such transformations, and that to re-
enlister' them in the fountain of modern honoOr,
might be as dangerous to their laurels; as it would be
difficult from the extent of the list. But our Stales-1.
men can be counted, they observe, and some of them ;
really want a change in their designations. 'As Non-'
VAL might say—" Low-bred men, of parentage
obscure, whose sole desire has been to gain a name"
different from what they had, or some other honour-
able object, of course. Ministers, therefore, quoth!
Report, are next to begin an experiment of this
kind on their kumbler supporters in office, who have
been distinguished, during the war, for what the
public know, in some respects, and are utterly
ignorant of in others. At the head of a new
batch of Knights in polo, for this meritorious
purpose, it is whispered that the name of a
redoubted Secretary to the Admiralty is to stand
conspicuous, because it has not already been suffici-
putty so ; and it is believed that his patent will run
" for eminent services performed,"—the nature and
extent of which need not be specified.

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
YRURSUAY, JANUARY 5, IRIS.

We have no fitter accounts from thi Continent
then are contained in the Park Papers to the 2d inst.
which came to hand at a late hour last night, and
from which we make extracts. The Vienna letters
come down to the 22d, but throw no light on the
proceedings of the Congress. It is evident that the
Emperor ALEXANDER has• determined to keep Po-
land by force—a mensure which we may consider
decisive of the fate of that country. The King of
WIRTESIBURGII is Said to have declared in favour of
the policy of the Emperor of Ilusst s. From Spain
we learn that the KING has pardoned Gen. D'ALAVA
and General BALLASTEROS has been recalled from his
exile. •

Some further accounts have been received respect-
ing the operations that have lately excited attention
in the Southern parts of America. Our Readers are
aware that the Americans were giving indication's of
an intention to seize on West Florida, in defiance of
Spain, and the British forces destined for that
quarter. There is new reason to believe that the
Americans will be defeated in this project. It ap-
pears likely, we are now told, that the British ex-
pedition to New Orleans would arrive so es to be
enabled to intercept the return of General JACKSON;
hilt it any means of escape be left to him, it would
he by the woods of the interior country. The force
under his orders was of an irregular description, but
probably amounting to 8,000 men. The British troops,
now supposed to be on the shores of the Mississippi
would reach the numerical strength of ten or twelve
thousand men. The communication between New
Orleans and Penscola is principally by water,
which will considerably facilitate any operations tkat
the British Commander may contemplate in that di-
rection. It has been conjectured that tnseef the three

divisions of the armament preparing at Cadiz foe
South America will, under the present circumstances,
be instructed to proceed to the Floridan, as the anti
expedient to prevent the utter extinction of the
Spanish authority on the northern shores of the Gulf
of Mexico. We find by the recent arrivals from the
Southern Hemisphere, that nothing preserved to Spain
the adherence and subjection of Cuba, but the
free trade that was. permitted with other countries,
• contrary to the former usage, and the establislbed
law of the parent State with regard to her western
dependencies.
