By gentleman who came passenger III
tie schooner Fair American, from ot. DO
mingo we were favored with the convention
and proclamation, translations OF which are
inserted in this days paper.
We understand hat nothing could exceed
the distress of The French garrison before 1t
surrendered. Dogs, cats, and even leati.er,
was eaten. The French, 1t appears, hac
resolved never to have surrendered 10 the
Spaniards, preferring death in any shape.
Thus this valuable colony, ceded to
France by the traitor Godoy, prince OF
peace. is restored 10 its lawful owners, and
lost to France. "Shlps, colonies and com
merce," SAID Napoleon we will have, when
he was reconciling the nation, who he go
vrrns, to another war with England. VI all
the valuable colonies Of France, G,ladalouPe
Ia the west, and the Isle OF France and

THE DUKE or FORK.

The Duke of York had supported IS mistress du-
ring three years, Mrs Clarke who had before sepe-
rated from her husband, and who is represented
fascinating as well most artful and extiavagaDt
woman She lived at Gloucester House in a style OF
great expense and splendour had her town house and
country house, kept two carriages and nine servens
AT length the Duke became weary or Disguised, and
left her. She applied to him still for money, and in
tmated hc was in her power ifhc did not comply. He
gave more. She repeated her ,,mands so often that
he found il would be inpract bic TO continue to
supply them, and determined toSstop where he was
and brave consequences. She then offered that If he
would pay all her debts and settle an annuity for life
OF 400. upon her she would remain silent & give up
his letters. He refused she went to a member OF
the House OF Commons and accused the Duke of
York as Commander in Chief, with dispos;ng of ap-
pointments in the army through her influence, fer
which she rcceiyedpecuniary presents from The app
cants, 500 guineas from one, 400 from another, &C.
adding that it was by these sums ofmoney, thus re-
ceived,she was enabled to support her establishment
the Duke only allowing her 1,o00i year, and that
this was done with his knowledge and appreciation ;
acharge that certainly involves the Dukes character
vesy deeply as imputes motives the most mean and
scandalous, II not corrupt and merccnary. But find
ing himself IN the power Of this abandoned and
shameles IS woman he resolved abide all the conse-
quences OF a publick investigation; humbling hini-
self By confession Of the connection, hut denying
the whole of the charges She accordingly came forth
in the face Of the nsiion preferred the accusation, at
the bar ofthe House of Commons and offered hcsSel
as the witness to crinis,atc. Many whole days have
been consumed in her examination, As veil as some
other witnesses called in TO support her Witnesses
have also been examined On the other side TO inssii-
date her testimony TO shcw that instead fsee thous-
and, twenty five thousand pounds have been hyished

This great argument may be as we'll cited
TO shew, that, had the .1nfboiogy been origi-
nalIy entitled The 7emhie If Folly, OF The
Biaekguard's Comfanion, an alteration would
be foolish and unnecessary. 1t would be what
they style "hs trifing ambition Of teaching
arss ia nesv language - and we know anoth-
cr reason, were we disposed to tell it, why it
would be useless.
Then follows long discourse to prove that
a or an is not precisely the same in use as one,
that they belong to different classes of words,
although they cannot deny that they indicate
nearly the same idca.
Mr.. w. hvours the popular tendency to
form regular plurals, and justifes the use Of
certain nouns pertaining to quantity, &c. in
the singular form, when the meaning con-
tains plurality as .jfve mile, jfve hundred, sc.
This is picked out as an inconsistency.
In another place Mr.. w. says, " attributes"
Cor adjeetives) may be used to modify the
action of verbs, and TO express the qualities
of things in connection with the actions by
whichthey are produced" He suspects those
who have taught the contrary, have been
|" misguided by Latin rules - and afterwards
he tells US (if the Observation-Disclosures speak
truth) that the Romans had The same idtom he
advocates. Here they again accuse him of a
gross inconsistency. To see the folly of this
charge, it must be observed that what they
tell US MIR. w. has advanced, amounts to
this :---that the Romans had an idiom that the
rules by wsich we are taught their language,
Go not sanction. Hor,1d itconsiStcncy !. I'M

But they have double charge that after
Mr.. Webster has intimatcd the probability
that our grammarians are sometimes misled
.by a knowledge of other languages, he fire.
quentIy has recourse to those languages to IL
iustrate our own, is another branch of the
hretended inconsistency.
These arc good specimens Of their Review
Of the above work, excepting that we have
not copied the a1itetm ehifhets so common to

ENG. LONDON, FEB. IS.
- AUSTRIA RISING.
We begin to think, that there is some truth
in the accounts that have been received from
various quarters, Of war having broken out, or
sbeing ON the point of breaking out, between
Austria end Frente.--lndeed the disbelief
with which the accounts have been held, has
arisen, not from any conviction that the mo-
ment was unfavourabie for so vigorous step
on the part of Austria, but from the recolec-
ton that she has let slip opportunities of ac-
ton almost, if not quite, as iayourabc--lsut
cabinets are not always 10 continue impolitick
or weak and it may be'that Austria had not,
during the Prussian war, sufficiently recover-
ed or recruited her military strength after
the fatal battle of Austeritz. We understand,
however, that her army is now complete, and
that there is besides, a very large Hungarian
levy,as corps dc reserve. Grown wiser too,
by dear bought experience, we may hope that
she will not fall into the same crrcurs, which
she committed in the last war--that we shall
see no more Macks, and that an auiick coun-
Gil of war, will no longer retard or paralize
the military operations. At the present mo-
ment, Bonapartc has no force in Germany
capable of coping with Austria, and the latter
could, if she pleased, advance at once to the
Rhine.
The French armies must be drawn from
Spain and made to traverse France, and the.
magazines on the Rhine which were emptied
to supply the troops in Spain, must be COM
pleted before Bonapartc could carry on the
war with bis whole force. The effect pro-
duced upon Spain,by the renewal of hostilties
in Germany, would be infinitely beneficial to
the patriot cause. The patriots would have
time to raise and discipline men, to receive
supplies of all kinds, to make depots, 20
choose positions, and to establish more init
mate cooperation and concert, than they have
yet been able to do.
Government, we understand, have received
xdvices from the continent, which satisfacto-
rily account for Bonaparte's sudden return to
Paris. The following is, VIC believe, the sub
stance OF the intelligence thus communicated.
In December last the Austrian cabinet sent
confidential mission to st. Petersburgh,
witha view of exposing to heemperour Alex
ander the cxtravagant and dangerous ambition
of Bonaparte, the injustice of his conduct in
Spain, ard the necessity he had imposed on
thecabinets OF Russia and Austria, to unite for
their mutualprotccdon. The empcrour Franz
els, at the same time made frank coinmtn-
ication Of the measures he bad adopted to
meet the war which he dcspaired OF being a.
bic to avert, and he Invited the emperour Al
exander to enter into such arrangements as
might be necessary to oppose a barrier to the
overwhelming tyranny of France.
Thisoverturc the empcrour Alexander i'm
mcdiately communicated TO Bonapartc in
Spain. aud to this circumstance his hasty and
unlookcd-for return to Paris is imputed.

Important measure. Sir, in the wide range
of debate the gentleman has repeated his
old argument, that the orders in council were
not known in this country VIXEN the embargo
was laid. Afterwards he qualified it by
saying, they were not Known in the cabinet
at the time the President recommended the
embargo. If, sir. the executive knew no
thing of them, it is surprising. because the
purport of them had been published i'm the
National Intelligencer in this city, and in
two or three papers printed i'm New York
and Philadelphia, which were received here
previous to the message of the President
They even stated the date at which his Bri-
fannie majesty's signature would be affixed
70 the orders. and gave infinitely the purport
of them. The President in his message not
only referred to the papers then enclosed,
but !" the great and INCREASING dangers to
which cur commerce was exposed, thereby
alludng to what had come to his knowledge
through the medium OF newspapers, as I'M
derstood to have been determined on by the
British government, bat not known SO for
Maly as to authorize express mention of it.
Sir, the people Of the United States are
enlightened and intelligent, they do not wait
for this House to spirit them on to an exami-
tion and decision of great national questions,
and our vote of appreciation or disapproba-
ton will never check or lull their spirit of
ehquiry-tney nave already approved the
act OF the President, and whether they have
or not, it is improper for us to enter into
abstract resolutions, regardless of our legis-
iative duties. and thereby establish a precs-
dent alike dangerous, and invasive Of our in
dependence.
Mr.. concluded his observations bv re-
marking, that he could not conjecture what
the dangerous doctrine said to have been adj
vanced by him yesterday, had to do with
the question. He controverted the opinion
OF Mr.. X. however, in relation to the doc
strine OF federal judicial power as conferred
by the constitution, and made some remarks
on the subject of state aud federal rights.
