LONDON, April 10.
We received late laR night Paris Papers to
the 4th, and Dutch to the 9TH. They confirm
| the intelligence we communicated a day or two
ago ethe Spanifh fleet at Cadiz being ready
for fea its force is ifated to be twelve fail of the
line, and twp or three frigates; it is now in the
outer road Of Cadiz. The activity of prepara-
tons at Tonon has induced belief that the
| fleet will again, if it has not already, put to
fea. Admiral Cochrane's being off the Ia
gus, is mentioned in an article from Lifbon of
| the 9th.
Apaper printed at Lembergh afTerts, that a
large Ruffian Army is attending in Volhynia.
and that Rufia and Sweden have agreed for a
iubfdy of FIVE millions, to place $4,000 men at
the dhpofal of this country. A great Rulfian
army is to be fent 70 the Mediterranean Ru-
mour has fVelled the amount to $4,000 men.
We believe we may fay, with confidence, that
all the accounts ofunfavorrable advices having
been received from Petersburg, are unfound-
ed they are far otherwife. 1t is faid now
too, that the politics of the Cabinet of Vienna
have undergone change favourable to this
country-it would be furprifng, after the e.
vents that have recently occurred, if they had
| not.
| The French papers are unacquainted with
the events that have taken place in the Welt
Indies.
| The expedition has not yet failed.
| Mr.. Canning yefterday riIer-,ing iDtimated to
| MIR Trotter that he conld no longer permit him
to hold the place of Paymafter of the Navy.
At the fame time MIR. Trotter had rendered his
Resignation.

| Ian night, in the Houfe of Commons, Mr..
Whitbread followed up the refoutions of Mon
day, with moving an Address to his Maiefty TO
remove Lord Melville from all places of truft
and emolument, which he held during the plea
fure of the Crown.
| Many gentlemen, however, who fupported the
refolutions voted on Monday, were Of opinion
and probably majority of the public will enter
tain the fame fentiment, that enough had been
done to fatisfy the Houfe and that the long
received from Lord Melville fhould be allowed
their full weight, and nothing be done which
could bear the complexion of rancour, virulence,
| or party fpirit.
| After fome debate the motion was withdrawn,
and the Houfe voted that the refolution of Mon
| day fhould be laid before his maiefy, and that
the fame fhould be carried up by the whole
Houfe and it was alto agreed that there fhould
be no adjournment until this communication
had been made.
| MIR. Whitbread then gave notice, that after
the holidays he would move, that nftruciioDs be
given to the Attorney-General to profecute
Lord Melville and Mr.. Trotter, to make them
account for their improper intromilIions of the
public morley.
The public may certainly expect one eHenti
al benefit from the proceedings that have taker
place. If the mfcondud OF Individuals, Of
Whole mal-pra6tices the nation has not fuTer
ed any actual lofs, is now to be followed ur
with iuch feverc and Pituitary puniihment, i
may be concluded that the acknowledged de
faulters, who not only fpecnlated with the pub
lie money, but applied the fame to their owr
private ufe, will fpeedily be made to refunc
the monies they have thus withheld.
The public will now look for tlis--fbe,
have right to expect il and if their hopes h.
diiappointed, they will not give all that credi
to the Houfe Of Commons which its member
expect from the prefent proceedings.
II is not yet fettlod who is to fuc coed Lore
Melville as frit Lord of the admiralty.
