bodies, or tenderne►s towards indiviirds, which
might properly weigh in ordinary cases, most yield
to the higher and parri,tiount duty of providing for
the permanent tranquillity and safety of the public.
The Governor-General in Council cannot,' there.
fvre,- too distinctly avow his entire concurrence in
the sentiments of the Officer commanding the army,
on the present occasion ; and his Lordship in Coun.
dl will ever acknowledge the deep obligations of the
British Empire at large, as well as of this portion
of it, to the firmness and energy with which Major.
General Gowdie has, with personal relectancr., no
doubt, but with a manly devotion to his public
duty, opposed the establishment of false and on.
military principles, by withholding his confirms.
Live of a sentence from which they would here-
after claim support; and has counteracted their',
pernicious tendency by a solemn assertion of those
civil and military tenets which the Legislature has,
ust this branch of our public dutie►, exclusively ac.
knowledged, as conformable with the jester ne...
lions of the military character, or compatible with
military trnit. Those cardinal maxims are, that in
every calamitous case of mutiny and revolt, .iirhe.
thee partial or general, or " on whatever pretext"
that, moustrons.offenee may seek to justify..itseg,
the first obligation of every officer and ,soldier is to
oppose its progress by every effort Of.peks,*-son.—.
His second is, to separate himself froni. the euitty ;
and the last anti mogt sacred is, to join the standard
of his Sovereign, his employers, and his duty, and to
strain every nerve• •uf zeal, activity, and courage,
in subduing the criminal party.
It is in conformity with these just and important
principles, and with a lively sense of their power.
tut an.: decisive influence on the discipline of ar.
mien and safety of the state, that the Governor.
General in Council has deemed it expedient and
neeresery to adopt the firm and judicious advice of
the Officer commanding the army, and to postpone
the indulgence of personal disposition, and every
other inferior motive, to the more sacred care of
providing in an extraordinary conjuncture for the
interests and security of the public.
By order of the Right Honourable the Goverstor.
General in Council.

WE this morning received a Gettenbasgh Mail.
'lll*another part of our paper we have given extracts-
from the papers brought by this conveyance.
'SERVIA, it seems, is to be united to AUSTRIA.
This is another of NAPOLEON'S changes.—The arti.
cle from the NEAPOLITAN Head-quarters, stating,
'that 30 of Joactum's gun-brigs beat off 80 Engli•b
ships of war, is a gasconade of rather too ludicrous
•an aspect! Joachim has a hard game to play,.
and• we should nut he surprized to see him also sent
to the baths of Tepid; or some other ssife and
feint place of retreat, ur rather rest.

TH4 active cartel, arrived at Plymouth from,
Tite*Tay, bringing Mr. NET, wills
dispatches from Mr. MACKENZIE. Mr. NET Itn.
mediately set off fur town with the dispatches, and
the Active was kept in readiness to carry him back,
on his return from Loudon. The contents.of these
dispatches have not transpired, but a Morning Pa-
per states, that " The only olistaele which now
remains to prevent the conclusion of so arrange-
ment for the exchauge of prisoners, isoccasioned by
a proposition of Boxaraare's, that the English shall
be the last exchanged ; that is, that the Spaniards
and Portuguese shall have the precedency !" And
the same Paper adds, that " This proposition
proceeds evidently from LIortAPAUTE'S suspicion
of the Clelity of our .Guvernment, and not com.
plied with because we are equally jealous of bins."
We cannot believe the FRENCH EPA PERO it ever was
sincere in his propositions on this subject. As our
Government advanced to meet the great object, he
receded. If he had been sincere, be never could
have made the proposition, that the Enorasu should
be the last *exchanged, giving the SPANISH and
PURTUGUISE the preference. That, indeed, would
be a singular couCession for our Government to
make! It is enough surely, that we lovhhly ex.
Rend our blood and wealth for SPAIN and PORTE.

i: enough for Englishmen to die in the
field for SPAIN and Pitaruom..—Must thole of
them that fall alive into the prisons and depad
of the enemy, whether from the' chance .of'
war, or the perfidy of that enemy, musk !dm%
still linger and pine in confinement, wbiN flits'
men whose battles we arc fighting, are re.
stored to liberty and air ? Why, if one English prig,
softer in France died in consequence of the delay
in his liberation, arising from the accepting of this
arrangement by our Government, we should, aay,
he was murdered. And is the preference to be
given to the Spanish and Portuguese, to the exclu:
sion of those entrapped, ensnared persons, utile:e-
ft/11y and basely detained by Napol.soN at the
commencement of the war ? England's folly, ie
bearing with the ignorance and misconduct of her 1
vile Ministers, dues deserve chastisement from
'some hand. But it would be too much of
Mortification, as well as evil, to receive it from
*we very Ministers,, by the medium of this de.
I trading and unjust prOpositimb We would rather.
Ni' England perish, than see this wrung committed!

tropOSitiOa is so absurd, that he could mean n 0...,

his head, be the deaths in prison, that may follow.,

A MINISTURIAL Paper of last night acquaints
the public that MAMMA has only concentrated his
army, but not actually retreated. It was expected
that he would endeavour to bring Lord 1V T'LLING.
TON to an action, and that he would mask Almeida,
instead of losing time in attempting a siege.

A Treaty of Commerce has been arranged with
the Deputies from the Caraccas, in the 4th article
of which, we understand that Great Britain, on her
part, engages to protect the trade of those settle.
ments against any hostile attempt that may be made
to destroy it ; a singular embarrassment thus arises
from the 14te blockading Pruclaination of the Re-
gency of Spain.

We have given some very important officialdom

and relating to the former military disturbances in
the Presidency of Madras.' Our power in INDIA,

Martial had excited great disgust in all ranks. The
President, General. WAane, of the King's troops,
had resigned his Staff appointment, and was about to
proceed to England. The Officers under accusation,
who had preferred the alternative of being tried by
COnrt.Martial to quitting the service, had, it was
said, In cousequesce of the orders of Government
on Colonel Doivrott's acquittals requested to be
dismissed.

March. The Modelle had been dispatched to Cal.
cutta, for Gull. HEWITT, irloh it was reported,
would take the command of the Madras army, until
the arrival of Sir S. Aucustuvv from England. The
Govertior.General was expected to return to Ben.
gal, soon after Gen. Hewnes arrival.
A large expedition was fitting out Madras, the
destination of which was kept secret. The pre-
vailing opinion was, that it was intended against
the Isle of France. Col. CLOSE'S army, which
had been broken up, after occasioning an immense
expence, was ordered to re-assemble.
