Mr Rose s id, that though the firmer
treaty had the s mVlanee If fairness,yet it
threw the whole navigation into American
ehips; hig* ly niaqufHetnred goods were
carried out and gross produce returned
liome: He considered the present treaty
<p(ite fair.
Mr. Baring ngreed that the arrangement
was wise, but objected to the shorties of
its duration, w* i h was limited to one or
two years.—Upon the whole he thought, the
(advantage tv s on our side.
Mr, Forbes asked whether the Ameri

with our E st India trade ?
Mr. Robinson replied, that if the gentle

circuitous route, yet they were prevented
from retnrnii g in that mariner.
A bill conformable to the resolutions was
then ordered lo be brought in.

The permanent council of war which hag
keen convened for the trial of admiral Li
Hois and colonel Boyer, the lute mmmard
er§ in Gued-ilonne, lias terminated its sit
tings. Ou the l i h colonel Boyer addressed
the court, and expressed big entire satisfac
tion With all the proceedings j and attempt
ed to exculpate himself from munv of he
eb&rges, but acknowledged his fault in hav
ing ordered Linois, the governor, to bp eom-
Ettitted to prison, fie then concluded tuu^s
“ I have committed an offence ug iost m\
legitimate sovereign. With intentions which
were always pure I have erred. ‘I bis gen

traitors at and regeeides are only doom and to

legal, merit (he punishment of death for t
single error ? I do not fear death, gentle
men ; I have frequently braved it unmoved.
Os that your president [ Lanriston ] can bear
testimony, bat I cherish honor, and it Would
be my highest ambition, to have one day s*n
opportunity of repairing a moment of error,
.fifed proving to the king, that 1 have preser

of so great a resource as the property tax &
thereby compelled to hve refourse to the

tbetthe loan should be increased by the a
mount of the calculated produce of the malt

entertained whether it was competent to the
crown to detain a prisoner after the war, &
though Ire did not partake of those doubts
t tmself, he proposed the bill with a view to
remove them.

On Wednesday the French asnbagstdor
heda long interview with lord Castiereagh
at his offie.
A morning paper states, that the trial of
. sir Robert Wilson and Messrs. Hutchinson
j and Brute is expected to come on about the

men and gentle men will* it is said, be re
i qu’ sed to give evidence. Among others
eari Grey is mentioned.
Ledy Wilson wefl admitted to the pre

The great question of the property tax
ome ‘ t length to a final ig-.ue on Monday
night ; when to the highest gratification of
one party, the sevpre mortification of the
other, and the exir. me surprise of all, the
ministry were out voted by a n> jorjiy of
3 7. The discussions affords an incontro
vertible proof f h*t tfic spirit of <ur consti
tution is in a high degree democratic*).—
the n tionaS will, when strongly and es.
fectuatiy mamf st(d, is always irresistable.
In the present instance, the puhlie appeal
was very fur from being either uuauim us
or universal j yet so powerful wos its influ
ence within the walls of the house of erra
mons, that the most popular admiration of
the present reign sunk under is energy.—
We may b** satisfied, from this instance
that all the springs and checks and balanc< s
in the complicated machine of the Rriusli I
eofisti'ution are yet acting in constant and i
unimpaired vigor. <
FROM LISBON.
Ry the sell*oner Hiratn, arrived at this
port from Lisbon, we learn, that on the 2f>f h
February an expedition of 11 sail, with 4000
troops on board, under convoy of the Yuno

The city of Carthagena having been oc

brigadier Porrcs attacked etdund Santan

repulsed with the loss of al*..st all li 9
troops, and was obliged to reiicut to tie
province of Santa Martha. The second in

ed his troops iu IViompox, and teturned to
attack Ocane, but wi h no better success
This obliged Morillo to ttbandou that rou e.
and to order that they should advance 10
the south. _
The right wing of ihe flying army of Mu
rillo, during the siege of Carthageuu ob
tained the o cup tiou of ihe north of Ne hi,
which opens the enifftiue to the rich prov
in e of Arrtioguia; but, on upprm.ching the

The Southern rod proving also bad. he
changed his route to euter by way of Zimi

met with no resistance* for the patriots, the
inhabitants of Z mity, fled to the nimn

up the Rio Griinde de la Magdalena, to

By accounts received in this city from Pa
nama, we learn that admiral Brown, with
the insurgent squadron from Auenoa Ay *s,
had doubled Capo Horn, aud got into i v
South Sea, where tLey ma e sever. I vai

the batteries which defend the entrance ol
the river, left his heavy vessels and went up
for the purpose of bombarding Guynquili,
but his vessel got ashore ou Lire ißih, U nu

said, that he was to be exchanged for Übie
