they expect the place TO MAKE an obstinate
defence. We should think our shipping
would be able to annoy the works on Sach-
cts left flank which extend to the sea.-No
mention however is made of our squadron
which we know to be off that part of the
coast. Suchet's Dispatch is not long one,
and we remark that be dwells upon actions
with the Empecinado, aud another Guerilla
leader.
These actions he describes as of very little
consequence. Why then dwell upon them?
But We suspect the fact to be, that his rear

Sou't's anger against Girard has been a
good deal soitened.. He has not carried his
intention into execution of bringing him to u
Court Martial, but has deprived him of his

The town of Greenock has resolved to ne
ttion Parliament upon the subject of the
Foreign trade of Great Britain.--They
have come to ten resolutions, two of which
are:
9th, That this meeting do presume to
think much national and individual benefit
might result, and no possible injury arise to
the East India Company, were their trad G
to be limited to supply the United King
dom OF Great Britain, with the products in
China, Bengal, and their own territories in
the peninsula of India, leaving the widely
extended field of Asia, Africa and America
otherwise open to the exertions and use of
British industry.
9TH. That since the United States Of
America and other neutral and foreign natl
ons, are permitted to trade in the territories
OF the East India Company, whom it is well
understood they materially supplant. in fur
nishing the British Transatlantic dominions &
colonies, with the products of these terrific
ries, as we'll as supplying to a considerable
extent, the Brazils, Spanish America, and
every market on the Continents of Europe,
Asia and Africa, they are permitted to
reach, it would seem Just and prudent that
our own subjects, if not allowed to enjoy a
decided preference, should at least possess
equal facilities
Mr.. Perceval went yesterday to Wind

Queen on the subject of the new arrange

tile purpose OF seeing what parts of the
Household may be reduced. Earl Winchel-
sea viii probably be placed at the head of
this Board, fol the purpose of seeing what
may be necessary and proper to be maintain
ed under the Regency. Upon the whole it
will be found that this new arrangement
will thus be settled, without any call on the
Public.
The Cabinet Council held on Friday was

mother Cabinet Council was held at the Fo-
reign Office on Saturday at two o'clock,
which was summoned by Mr.. Perceval, for
the purpose of arranging the outlines of the
Speech to be submitted to the Prince Re-
gent this day in Privy Council, for his APP
probation, to be delivered in his name to-
morrow, at the opening of the Session of
Parliament. The Cabinet was attended bv

not break up till about six o'clock.
There is no foundation whatever for the
assertion so insolentIy made by the Ame-

Orders in Council, not only upon the revo

that America should also compel France TO

Mr.. Foster; and all that we had demanded.

formality which she has employed in 1ro-
mitigating them, and a fair reference to tie
of Mr.. Foster, will prove
that our Orders i'll Council will no lonce,. be
