LONDON March 2 i. The Duke of Portland would find it a very difficult task to make w list, if talents were to be the standard of official rank ; but as these ate out of the question, it is easy to put down a number of names—-and when the catalogue is completed, the officers may be as signed with tr little ciifTtrtthy ; so.that the Bur lington admintr’r: lion run- G: considered ra ther as a collection than a v le’ tion ; for theii can be nochoise wl/ere the materials are a like. ‘l'he new arrangement, it i-> said, v.ill be ready on Wednesday next. \YI en the* list is pre sented, wiH the inhabitants of Ireland find a Sir John Newport, or a Bedford, Itr. in it ( <>e any of those exalted characters, who sympa thised with their distress, and poured bairn in to tlicir wounds ? The people of this country have been ac customed, in every i liange, to look for talents, rank, landed property, and hi ;!i personal con nections in each successive administration.— men might be changed, hut those proud distinc tions were immutable.—they raised this coun try in the cys of foreign nations, and inspired theii cabinets with a confidence in ours, the va lue ofwnich, in a national point of view, cannot he too highly appreciated. I In- Karl ol ILirdwicke ; whose vicc-rega! administration in Ireland, was so judicious!’ ti mpered and nicely balanced as to render his name dear to the people of that country, in hi anxiety for the welfare of that part of the U nited Kingdom, as inseparably interwoven with the prospeiity of the whole, waited on Satur day, on his majesty at Windsor, and as an he reditary counsellor of the crown, desired an au dience to represent the agitation which this measure is likely to produce in Ireland. The king we arc told, reccied him with great po liteness. Let the result of his representation be what it may, his lordship will have the con solation of having discharged an important du ty. Lord Klden was “immediately admitted to the closet. The earl of Chatham arrived in town from He! voir Castle yesterday morning; where, it , said, he had been for the purpose of offering the duke of Rutland the. lord lieutenancy ol Ireland. liis lordship will have a seat in this cabinet. There arc several lists i.i circulation ; some of them appear to have been drawn as it were by lottery, and perhaps they are those that will conic nearest the real one. In a scramble for power and places, ti sen of pertijiat.'y and prexumtion will take the lead, and aspire to si tuations for which they were never intended by nature or education. Willi respect to the cause of this unexpect ed change, wc are t< o short sighted to discover the policy of rejecting the services ol a great proportion of our own countrymen, whose in terests arc the same with our own, wh> must rejoice at every thing which benefits our coun try, and grieve at everything which hurts it, and of accepting of the services of strangers, of 1 laiioveri.uis, and importing into England men whose inteicsts have no natural connection with ours, who might easily be made to feci mi interest in turning their sword against us, as well as against any foreign nation. We re fuse to accept the services of our Catholic bre thren, hut do wc not refuse their money i 1 lave wc any scruple to tax them because of their religious sentiments ? In other parts of the em pire we even accept of the military service of Hindoos, and Mahometans, and make laws to protect them in the exercise of their re’egiotis rites Ms it the British and 1 rish alone, of v\ horn we must forever remain jealous, whom we can never regard as our country ment andbrethcrcn ? Mr. Peis ival’s speech on the Catholic ques tion is supposed to have instigated this total elningc m his majesty’s councils; he. is to his former office of attorney general, in which he will, no doubt, be ready to make any discontent that may appear in Ireland on the objection of the measure now before parliament, a pretext for those strong measures which lie voluntarilv offered, in his observations on the opening speech of the present session, to those whom he would trust with nothing , he, in order to suppress some trilling disturbances, of which we have never since heard more. The man who makes so light of the establishment ol martial law and of the suspension of the habeas corpus act, (for these are well known interpre tations of strong measures with respect to Ire land) cannot be regarded, in a situation suc h as that of attorney general, without a painful apprehension of fresh inroads on the constitu tion, mul a dread of the renewal of those horrid legal crucifies, the bate remembrance of which is sufficient to make justice K humanity shudder. It is expected that lord Ilovvick will this evening be called on, in the house of com mons, to give his promised explanation of the cause of this political convention, which seems to shake the empire to its centre.— Statesman. Let our immediate circumstances be affect ed as they may, we trust in the good sense of the Irish nation, to diminish the effect of anv unwelcome disappointment whatever,by every thing that has taken place to disturb the cordi ality of the cabinet, yet vve hope that no seri ous disunion will result from it. The fate of this Empire, and indeed of Europe, is now in the hands of the present administration.

Mr. I lathe way is a lawyer of distinction at Rome—lmmediately preceding the election of 1804, when Burr was a federal candidate for governor, Mr. Hathcway r who until he had been a federalist, abandoned his party, and pub lished bis reasons at great length. l Ur clid not, however, as it now appears, publish the letter of Griswold, which uas one reason. G. Griswold is now,and was 1 believe whar he w rote the letter, a member of congress: he is a federalist. “ Federalism unmasked —lt is with the deep est regret that I submit to the pul die an ex tract of a letter, which has remained with me for three years, as secret as death itself; and would have so remained forever, did not the good of our country demand, that a plot, which threatened its existence, should he exposed to public view. Under these impressions, all considerations of private confidence must he laid aside. Plots against a legal existing ad ministration, mild and pacific in its measures, are obnoxious in the extreme, anil not to be countenanced or concealed for a moment ; neither would this have been, had not hopes been entertained that the plot would fail, while tlie revengeful spnit which concerted the same would die away, and that occasion would not I require its being made known. lint when i j call to mind the regular system which hits I been pursued by the federalists and Burr, from j the time of his election to the. office of Vice [ President down to the present moment- ta king into view their efforts to make him Presi dent.—then their plots (herein disclosed) to make him governor of the state of New-York i —then of Late as vve have seen this same Burr j in our capitol, flush with money, plotting the ! subversion of our government, and boasting i his connection with our “ first blood”—then j seeing him in the heart of our country enlist- | * hi;* soldiers, nosing armies, preparing an ar- | mament, building a fleet—and in all this hav- j ing the good wishes of our federalists, and no doubt supplied with their money : when we ! see this same man arraigned before courts and I juries, and l,y them requited ; when wc hear . the tongue of every federalist excusing him, j and calumniating our executive for 1 .is cner-! getii measures agrirst Burr—•taking all these things into view, they irresistahly force a con viction oh the mind, that a plot has long since hecn.laid by the federalists and Burr—and has la en and is to lie pursued to the last extremi ty, if nothin;:; short will subvert our present ad mini .: rati'.".!—they also irresistahly force a con viction 0.l tin mind.

EXTRACT. tVvsttiNc.TON, February 27, ISO-i. “ The movements of Burr disturbs the quiet of their souls—he will shake the very centre of their conclave. You may rest assured mv good fellow, that if our friends would but play true, Burr will chastise thcs-i usurpers of pow er with a rod they deserve—he is no more one of their party, though for certain purposes must so appear ; rely on this as true. lie is the on ly person who can chastise these fellows—and policy dictates our unity to give him support; all our friends in this city have the. same opin ion—ail the judges in the supreme court are united with us in the opinion. It is a matter of great surprize among otir federal friends here hew Hamilton can take so imprudent a part. Report says that 11—n made a long speech in favor of Lansing and against Burr. I fear his personal resentment to Burr, and no policy governs his conduct. All our federal friends now in this city are looking up with anxiety to the election in New-York ; their only hopes arc founded on the success of Burr —though this should not be known to any but real friends. What have we to expect from Lansing ; he is nominated by Clinton and Spencer, and their creature—he must and will be their tool. The old governor is to be Vice- President, and will be united to the mammoth! of democracy by ties too strong to be broken.

This news is brought from Kiel.—General Blucher is said to have con firmed it, adding, that it was the corps under Oudinot. But I cannot pledge myself for the truth of it. It is further said, that the French have been trying to persuade the emperor of China to declare war against the Russians, but without success. Hamburgh, March’ 18. r.xtract of a private letter from .lltona, dated the 17 th .March. ’ The situation of affairs in Poland and East Prussia has assumed a more favourable aspect; i the French have found it necessary to retreat, , and are seeking safe tv in Brandenburg and Ber ! lin ; where the head-quarters of Napoleon are | said to be transferred. If report speaks true, j in the memorable battle of Eylau, Bonaparte i was wounded in the back ; and although his j quarters were pretended to be at Osterode on 1 the Bth, there are persons here who actually j saw him at Thorn. He is said to be at variance 3 with most of his general officers, several of jl whom have left the army in disgust with his j proceedings. On the night of the ninht inst. , a close carriage passed through Magdenbcrg, [1 which it is reported contained Marshal Duroc, | whom tlie emperor Napoleon had accused of 1 traitorous practices with the Austrian general | Baron Vincent. This evening private letters have been re ceived, which state that the Russians have their j advanced posts at W arsaw, and that the French jj have been completely defeated near Thorn, by | the combined Prussian and Russian army ; the S latter is said now to consist of 100,000 men. I It is reported, on the authority of private ac ! counts from Berlin, that gen. Oudinot, com [ manning a corps of grenadiers, has gone over to the Russians, near Ostrolcnka, with 8000 grenadiers, having been peremptorily ordered by Bonaparte to make an attack at a lime, when neither he or his corps had any suste nance for thirty-six hours. The Russian army lias, since the Battle of Eylau, been increased to near 300,000 men. Charleston May 23. j All accounts by the Resource, from liiier Plate concur in stating, that unless the British shortly receive powerful reinforcements, they will not be able to extend their conquest to any considerable distance from Montevideo.—The fate of Buenos Ayres was doubtful; and if the governor, or commander of the Npftnish forces at.this latter place, followed the example of i | the governor of the former, in defending the \ city to the last extremity, the small number of Biilish troops which could he spared fiom the garrison of Montevideo, would encounter great difficulties in carry in g'the city. The people of the country, generally', were by no means pleased with their change of mas ters, and would readily embrace any opportu nity that offered’ of expelling the English— This spirit of animosity was strongly manifest ed by the inhabitants of Montevideo, who, hav ing generally stepped forwards in its defence, many of the first families had lost their fathers, sons, or brothers*—'and notwithstanding they fell in the heat of battle, their relatives consi dered the English as their murderers. We are pleased hi observing, that the Bri tish have not, as was previously reported, re taliated, upon the vanquished Spaniards, the cruelties practised upon the prisoners captured with general B'cresford.
