great disgrace , and obliged his retreat from the ministry . Sir Francis Burdett , after a most able Speech on Gale Jones * s imprisonment , obtained only fourteen votes in his favour . In a letter to his constituents , the argument is detailed at full length . It is unans fcrerable ; and if the members of the House of Commons would take
equal pains in the several subjects coming before them , some applying to one and some to the other , our Acts of Parliament would be better drawn up , and our expenditure would be well
regulated . Lord Wellington has obtained bi& pension , in spite of the petition of the city of London : but the petition is unanswerable . A debate also took place on the merits of a gallant officer , who did not receive the thanks of the House
of Commons . This is Sir Robert Wilson , to whom Lord Wellington is indebted for the escape of himself and army after the battle of Tala vera . Sir Robert , by . very skilful manoeuvres , drawing oft the attention . of the French to his small body , which he contrived to make them believe to be twelve
thousand strong , and thus preventing them from pouring down on Lord Weilington , who , by the speed of his flight , thus got out ef their clutches . Both sides of the House concurred in wfcir encomiums on the gallantry of Sir & .
Wilson , but the motion was withdrawn from some informality . The reversion bill has occasioned debating ; and the gallery of the House of Commons was shut by Mr . Windham , on Mr .

deserved . The country in general applauded the spirit of the county in not choosing to return a placeman to the House . A great argument has been held before commissioners for the purpose , on the subject of a new theatre , pto be erected in London ; and much was
