[London and Liverpool both to February 12
inclusive..]
A (lebats of considerable importance
took place last night in the Commons, on
the subject of the late order in council res-
pecting neutral commerce. Lord Howick,
in a very able speech, explained the princi-
ples upon which government had determin-
ed to conduct itself towards neutral nations
in consequence of the violent and unjustifi-
able measures employed by France. Their
great object he stated was to break up the
coasting trade of that country and its depen-
dencies, but not to deprive neutrals of a
commerce, the maintenance of which was
productive of great advantages, even to the
hostile states. Should the measures already
determined on be found insufficient, govern-
ment will not hesit.\te to have recourse to
more vigorous proceedings.
[Traveller of Feb. 5.]
ft was rumored yesterday, that Austria
had declared war against France, and that
official advices of this important determina-
tion had been received by government. It.
would afford us the highest satisfaction to be
able to confirm so pleasing an article of in-
telligence ; but we fear the French army in
Poland is not yt»t so much reduced.asto en-
courage the court of Vienna to assume a
line of conduct which must end in a, war of
extermination with France. However paci-
fic the disposition of the cabinet of Vienna
may be, it is impossible that Austria can en-
joy the blessings of peace one year longer.
If the Russians prove victorious, she must
make -common cause with them ; should
they unfortunately be worsted, she will have
to fight for existence.
Tub, exertions making by the emperor of
Russia for the vigorous prosecution of the
war arc every way worthy the magnanimi-
ty of that monarch, and the immense extent
and physical resources of the country over
which he rules. He has issued an order for
the establishment of a militia for the defence
of tM country, in ..case of necessity, over
and above the regular army. Of the 42 go-
vernments, into which iRussia is divided, 80
of the most populous and the most exposed
have been ordered to embody this militia
without de-ay, according to a plan submit-
ted to them. The number of men thus to
be armed and equipped, is b" 2,000 ; and the
'other ten governments not enumerated are
to supply provisions, arms and ammunition,
according to their means.
A gentleman deceased in Scotland lately,
has bequeathed 1200I. to be paid to the
person who shall write and lay before the
judges he has appointed, a Treatise which
shall by them be determined to have the
most merit upon the following subjects, as
expressed in his will, viz. "The evidence
that there is a Being, all powerful, wise,
and good, by whom every thing exists, and
particularly to obviate difficulties regarding
the wisdom and goodness of the Deity j
and this, in the first place, from considera-
tions independent of written.revelation; and, |
in the second place, from the-revelation of '
the Lord Jesus; and, from the whole, to
point out the inferences mott necessary for,
and useful to mankind." The ministers of
the established church of Aberdeen, the
principals and professors of king's and ma-
rischal colleges of Aberdeen, and the trus-*
tees of the testator, are appointed to nomi-
nate and,make chuice of three of the judges.
The Mary, Crow, near'Cayenne, on the
301I1 Nov. at five P. M. descried two strange
sail standing towards her, from which she
endeavoured to escape, taking them to be
two French cruizers. At 10 P. M. they
came tip -with her, when she sustained a
running action - with -them till d;ty light
next morning, when having her boatswain
killed, her captain and several men wound-
ed, her mainmast and bowsprit seriously
damaged, six or eight shot between wind
and water, her sails and rigging mucji shat-
tered, and after using1 every exertion against
her supposed enemies, with great reluctance,
captain Crow w as compelled to strike ; but
to his great satisfaction the two vessels,prov-
ed to be his majesty's ships Dart, of 30,
and Wolverine, of 18 guns, captains Spear
and Collier, which were sent some time ago
from Barbados to cruize off Cayenne, in
hopes of intercepting a large French priva-
teer of 36 guns, reported-to be fitting out
there, and for which they unfortunately
mistook the Mary. Captains Spear and
Collier were extremely sorry for the ac-
cident, and rendered captain Crow, every
assistance in their power.
The Mary carries twenty 9 and four 6-
pounders, and at the time of the unfortu-
nate accident had on board 45 seamen.
Captain Crow was severely wounded on the
left side, and slightly in the left arm, but
we arc happy to add that he is in a fair way
to recover ; the boatswain had both his legs
shot off, and expired shortly after ; six sea-
men were badly wounded, and five negroes
killed, and six wounded.
Dispatches were received by his majesty's
ministers this morning, from brigadier-gene-
ral Ciaufurd.
The Ganges, of 74 guns, and the Captain,
arrived yesterday at Portsmouth from Porto
Praya, in the island of St. Jago, one of the
Cape de Verds, which they left on the 11th
of January, on which day the Spencer,
capt. Stopford, and the Theseus, with briga-
dier-general Craufurd's expedition, sailed to
the southward. The Nereide frigate, with
the transports, having on board the 9th light
dragoons, together with the merchant-ships
for the river Plate, sailed on the 6th from the
Cape de Verds. The troops were extremely
healthy, and only one man had dieti on the
passage. The Nereide had been informed
by a Portuguese vessel, of the recapture of
Buenos- Ayres.
The Ganges and the Captain supplied the
ships wrtflBall their provisions and stores,
except enough for five weeks, which obliged
their crews to be on short allowance ; they
had seven days provisions on board when
tkey arrived at Portsmouth. .
The expedition arrived at St. Jago on the
14th Decamber. Gen. Craufurcl is supposed
to Be going round Cape Korn.
It is to be remarked, that the French say
tl«; Russians had a great many generals kill-
ed and wounded ; yet they do not give us
the name of one of them, though, as they
took all the hospitals, according to theirown
account, they would have been able to have
found out the names. But let us see what
the French suffered in. killed and wounded.
The following are the names of the officers,
whom their own bulletins confess to have
been killed or wounded :
Gen. Fenerolles, killed.
Marshal Lasnes, slightly wounded.
Gen. Vedel, ditto.
Gen. '"lnperede, ditto.
Gen. Treilhard, ditto.
Gen. Boustard, ditto.
Gen. Rapp, ditto.
Col. Semele, ditto.
Col. Bartheleiny, ditto.
Barraw, aid de-camp to marshal Bessieres,
wounded.
Boisen, aid-de-camp to marshal Lasnes,
killed.
I'urial, aid-de-camp to gen. Stichet, killed.
Segur, camp-marshal to Bonaparte, made
prisoner.
-We are sorry to see by accounts from
Dublin, that an intention seems to be en-
tertained of pressing the discussion of the
Catholic question again this session.—
When the Catholic question was br-ught
for.vard in iooj, we deprecated the discu-
sibn of it : we equally deprecate it now,
and we shall think it our duty to support
the ministers in resisting.every attempt that
may be made to induce them to bring for-
ward the Catholic question at present.
It is supposed that mndame Bonaparte's
return to Paris is the forerunner of Bona-
parfs return.—But we hardly think he
will quit Warsaw or Berlin immediately.
He is at present almost as much occupied
with negotiations as with military prepara-
tions j every lure and inducement has been
thrown-out to induce the king of Prussia to
make a separate peace. -On a sudden his
tone with respect to that Monarch and his
beautiful and virtuous Queen has changed.
We find none of that course and unmanly
abuse which he indulged in the first mo-
ments of his triumph and his victory ; and
our readers did not fail to remark the com-
pliment paid to M. De Zastrow, the new
Prussian minister for foreign affairs. The
mission of Baron Vincent is supposed to re-
late to peace ; and it is added that he has
been.directed .by the court of Vienna to as-
sume a tone of vigour and decision.—to state
definitively, that the emperor Francis saw
the present state of his Polish subjects with
just apprehensions.; and that nothing would
so effectually tt-anqudize reciprocal fears of
his majesty and his faithful subjects, as
some proof of the emperor Napoleon's mo-
deration, in acceding to the offeredne.goria-
tion oi his Prussian majesty. Upon this
rumour, however, we must observe, that
his Prussian Hiaj'esty has pledged himself
not to make peace but in conceit with the
emperor oi Russia, who does not seem dis-
possd at present to enter into any negocia-
tion,

His majesty's sloop Kite, Downs,
7th February, 1807.
Sir,
I beg leave to inform you, that last night,
about ,half past eleven, the North Foreland
light bearing W. by S. distant about lour
leagues, I fell in with and captured, after a
cl are of one hour and a half, a French
lugger privateer, the Le Chasseur, command-
ed by Jacques Francois Fourmentier, pierced
for 16 guns, two only mounted, the remain-
der being in the hold. She is a very fast-
sailing vessel, only three months old ; sailed
from Calais yesterday morning, in company
with.another privateer of the same descrip-
tion ; had not made any capture since she
last sailed ; her complement of men was 52,
but had only 42 on board when captured, 2
of which were wounded. Fortunately our
shot cut away his jib when we first com-
menced our fire upon him, otherwise the
chace would have been long, and our success
tjoubtful.
I have, &c.
Signed, JOS. JAMES.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Feb. 11.
Criminal Information.
Mr. Gorrow said that he was instructed to
apply to the court for leave to I le a crimi-
nal information for a libel. He made this
motion on behalf of Marquis Wellesley, who
for a considerable time, having filled the dis-
tinguished office of governor of India, re-
turned to England, expecting to receive the
unanimous approbation of his country. He
-had not, however, long arrived, when he
found persons, whom it would be a waste of
the time of the court to name, who made his
lordship the constant subject of libels, but
which he passed by, relying partly upon the
insignificance of their authors, and partly
upon his own exalted character. Of what-
ever import the speeches delivered during
the contested elections might be, lord Wel-
lesley had always left them unnoticed, think-
ing that they were delivered in a moment
of irritation. But there was a period when
forbearance ceased to be a virtue, aiVl when
the honor of an individual rendered it neces-
sary that the defamations should be put an
end to. That time was now arrived, and
the Marquis WtUfcsley came before their
lodships to in'reat the;r interference. The
libel complained of was published na news-
paper, as the report of a speech delivered at
the -Middlesex club, at the Crown He Anchor
tavern. It was wholly unnecessary to state,
whether, such an address was or was not
made, since theiibel, as inserted in the news-
paper, was not only an insult offered to the
noble Marquis, but also to the character of
the speaker, as the learned council was con-
vinced that it could not have been uttered
by a man of honor or respectability. The
moderation shewn by lord Wellesley, had,
however, been attended with some bad con-
sequences, for it had increased the breed of
libellers, with which the metropolis was al-
ready ever run ; and as this was not the first,
neither could it be the last prosecution to
bring, to justice those who made it their inte
rests to stain the unsullied character of o-
thers. In the news paper above alluded to,
Mr. Panll was represented to have returned
thanks to the freeholders of Middlesex for
the honor they had done him ; to have ad-
verted to the endeavors he had made to bring
to justice that great delinquent the Mar-
quis Wellesley.. ,I!e said that his motive
in prosecuting the impeachment was, nor.
from private malice, but from ideas of pub-
lie justice, in dragging forward a person who
was guilty of the most lavish profusion of
the public money, and of a most wanton
and atrocious murder, perpetrated lipdnan in-
dependent prince who was forced from his
throne into a dungeo.n. The passage from
that dungeon to the grave-was not long, for
he was murdered by the Marquis, and the
bloody robes was sent to the mother of the
victim as a proof of the commission of the
crime. The learned counsel I nought, that
the court would consider that the noble ap-
plicant was jolly authoj'ised in appearing
before their lordships, and would grant, the
object sought by the motion, against the
printer, publisher, and proprietors of the
paper ill question, Rule to shew cause grant-
ed.
Mr. Robson gave notice, that he would on
this day se'nnight move for the production
of certain papers relative to the barrack de-
partment in Great-Britain. He should also
move, on the same day, for papers connect-
ed with the business of the barrack depart-
ment in Ireland ; and probably, on the same
day, lie might also move for papers relative
to the barrack department of our colonies.
Mr. Manning apprised the house, that he
should think it his duty, on some convenient
day after the second reading of the slave
trade abolition bill, to move for the house to
go into a committee for the purpose of con-
sidering of the expediency afgraniing com-
pensation to those persons who may suffer-
by the passing of that bill into a law.
Earl Temple moved, that the house re-
solve itseir into a committee on the report of
the select committee, to which the Sierra
Leone petition v/as referred. The report
stated that it was expedient that certain
possessions and rights which are now vested
in the Sierra Leone Company should be
transferred to his majesty. The committee
agreed to the substance of the report, and
the house having resumed, leave was granted
to bring in a bill pursuant to thei terms
thereof.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Sir Vicary Gibbs applied for a rule to
shew cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against the proprietor of
a daily newspaper, for the publication of a
libel upon allthe porter brewers of-the metro-
polis. The intention.of the parsgraph was
to represent that the porter-drank in this
city was compounded chiefly of strong nar-
cotic poisons, exceedingly destructive of the
health of the inhabitants. Alihough the
libel was of a very general nature, without
attaching itself upon particular individuals,
! yet it was in. such a form, that the court
would not hesitate in granting the informa-
tion, when they -considered that it was ca-
pable of oveiihrow'uig the whole trade. It
was stated in the libel; that the chief in-
gredients composing London porter, were
Opium Solatium, or night-shade ; Datura
Stramonium, or thorn-apple ; Cynoglossum, or
hound's-tongue ; Coclicus Indian, Nux Vo-
mica, and tobacco ; and the publication at-
tributed most of the apoplexies in London
to the use of this beverage; further, lest the
dictum of the author should not be sufficient-
ly satisfactory, it stated, that such was the
opinion of the most learned physicians.—
Sir Vicary Gibbs added, that his instructi-
ons were received from almost all the prin-
cipal porter-brewers of the metropolis, who
all deposed that their beer was never biew-
ed with any of the ingredients charged in
the libel, but solely with malt and hops.
The learned counsel said he had likewise to
make the same motion against five other
newspapers.
The court desired that one of the affida-
vits containing the denial above stated, should
be read, and likewise directed that an affi-
davit should be prepared, signed by the ap-
plicants, in which it should be stated, not
only that the porter was brewed without
containing any of the poisonous ingredients,
but also that it was not sold when com-
pounded with them. Until this was done,
a rule nisi to shew cause was granted.

Segur,'has retaken from the English a liam-

upwards of 800 casks of wine, i75 pipes of
brandy, and a quantity of dried fruit, sirup
and corks. This vessel had been stopped
and taken possession of by L'Aimable Kng.
lish frigate, at the entrance of the Kibe,
and the commander had put. on hoard her an.
English officer and six sailor's, with a writ-
ten order to take her as soon as possible into
an English porjt ; it was in this situation,
that the Hamburger, after beating about at
sea for 4(*days, was fallen in with and tak-

JEU D'ESPIUT.
Postcript ot a letter from ¦ M. Le Grand,
deputy chamberlain to the emperor :>ad

" January 13. .
" How happy-am I, my dear friend, that,
before closing this letter, I ara able to send
you the m->st gl rioup intelll e re that ever
yet reached Pari;' !—The English have lost
Pondicherry in the East-Indies, St> Lucie in
the West-Indies, the Cafe of Good tJope,
and every other colony, which they had
taken either from us, or from the king of
Holland, during the war. Rejoice nay
friend, Hcnow your genius is at this moment
employed in imagining a programme .of the
superb fete with which these great evett
shall be celebrated at Paris. But, perhaps,
some dull doubter, unworthy of the name
of Frenchman, may suggest to you to in-
quire how I Should have received at Berlin
this sublime news. Kno-J then,. that my
authority for it is indisputable. You can-
not forglt that celebrated proc amation, in
which ouraugust emperor ami iuig, whose
genius embraces at once all the possibilities
of both hemispheres, assured his army, .that
he would conquer all these places in Poland,
and solemnly promised that, he would not
quit Poland.t]\[ England had surrendered
them. Now mark hovv sure my intelligence
is : the emperor is coming here ; the army
is cuitting Poland ; I am ordered to prepare
for his reception, and to be ready to proceed
even to Paris. You see, therefore, the thing
is beyond a d ubt; I have the inviolable
word of the emperor himself for what I say.
I shall soon see you in Paris ; prepare the
fxtgroemme of the/<¦£«, and then employ your-
self upon the model of a column to perpe-
tuate the memory of this re-conquest of all
our Ea^ and Wast-Indian colonies and of
the Liberty of the Seas !
" Le Grand.",
Constantinople, Dec. 18.
A council of the ministers was held yes-
terday, and war was declared against Kus-
sia. The Ulemas have pronounced it to be
just ; the standard of the piophet lias been
hoisted ; all the country is in motion ; the
pachas of Homelia have received ord> rs to
advance with their troops towards the Da-
nube ; another army advances from Asia,
and will follow tlie same direction ; the
grand vizier will take the command and
inarch with the holy standard. M Icalins-
ky was to be sent to the Seven Towers ; the
French ambassador, far from imitating the
conduct of that minister, was the hrst to
advise tine Porte to send him back honora-
bly. Ten sail of the line are equipping :
the press has taken place, and has produced
several sailors ; the two English ships ara ,
stiil before Constantinople ; the British mi-
nister does not appear to have had any in-
structions cti so unexpected a circumstance.
It is the insulting proclamation 'of general
Michelson, which has excited throughout
the empire, this general movement : the
Turks say that they would rather die fight-
ing scymetar in hand, under the banner of
the prophet, than submit to such outrages.
The patriarch, a venerable man, whoposses-
es the greatest influence, and the princess
Callamachiand Su7.zn, have made known to
the Greeks, by a proclamation, the incalcu-
lable misfortunes which will befal'tliem if ,
they do not shut their ears to the periidious
insinuations of the Rtiffiaii agentyj alter-
nate victims of the Russian &rmsy of the
arms of the Turks, and perhaps of apy
other power, the country would be laid
waste for a century-: but the brave have nor.
ceased to exist in Europe ; and they will
not suffer the vast empire which extends iis
confines to China, to reign also upon the '
Bosphorus : the Turks may, perhaps, be
beaten, but they will eventually be conquer-
ors—they will have a powerful ally. It is
this on which we repese our confidence : !.#
will not permit that their enemies should 1
provoke them any longer ; that the people
whom he has already several times vanquish-
should destroy the most ancient and most
necessary of his friends ; already his can p
is upon the Vistula ; already the Russians,
which are in sight of our troops^ sufficien'-
ly manifest the terror which pervades ti-em ;
our enemies will be confounded, and cry
empire will come out of this struggle, and
re-establish itself upon its natural alliances.
