In execution of the orders of his Majefly, contain. ea in his letter written from his Imperial camp of Pultuik, of the 31(i of December, 1806, to the Bi fhops of the Empire, his Eminence the Cardinal Archbifhop of Paris waited on his Serene Highnefs the Prince Archchancellor of the Empire, to concert with him for the execution of his Majetly's orders. —lt is in confequence determined, that the Te Deum Sall be Tung in the metropolitan Church on Sunday, the 25th intl. precifely at twelve o'clock, and that the fame ceremony fball be obferved as in the Is Deem chanted in thankfgiving for the memorable viaory of Jena. _ _ Several mercantile houfes of Hungary have en. tered into contraCts for furnifhing great quantities of wine to the French army in Poland. The fmall diftance from Upper Hungary to Cracow, by Gal. licia, will render the conveyance of thefe wines very eafy. At Cracow they will be embarked on the Vitlula. Le Marfeuin privateer, of St. Maloes, has brought into one of our ports the Lager, of Pool, burden 170 tons, with a cargo confiaing of 165 tons of falt fifh, from Newfoundland, with one cannon on board, and a crew of thirteen men ; and alto the Jericho, of 209 tons, from Halifax to London, laden with fugar, cocoa, fkins, medicines, mahogany, &c. of eight twelve and' eighteen pounders, and a ci ew Of nineteen men. Lc Speculateur privateer, of the fame pnrt, has made two prizes, one of which, laden with falt is arrived, and news is expeded of the fecond. Le Glaneur privateer, likewife of St. Malnes, has brought into one cf our harbours an Englifh vefrel, laden with coals. _ _ Le Courier privateer, of Dunkirk, Capt. P. Segur, ha retaken from the Englifh a Hamhurghefe three malted vette% laden with upwards of 800 calks of wine, 175 pipes of brandy, and a quantity of dried fruit, imp, and corks. This veffel had been Hopped and taken poffeffion of by l'Amiable Englilh frigate at the entrance of the Elbe, and the Commander had put on board her rn Englifh officer and fix rilors, with a written order to take her as fonts as poffible into an Englifh port—it was in this fituation that the Hamburgher, after beating about fea for forty days, was fallen in with, and taken by le Courier, who brought her into Flufhing on the 12th inflant. Jew. 25. —The Moniteur gives the proceedings of the Englilh Houle of Commons, at the opening of the new Parliament ; and flaring that Mr. Lamb, who moved the addrefs, ftid, that the Peace of Amiens afforded time to the Nation "to take breath and recruit its ftrength," °Verges in a rote—" Peace to France, as well at England, was only a truce.— It was wilhed to give confidence to our commerce ; to induce us to troll to the fea, a hundred millions of French property ; and afterwards, as after the Peace of Amiens, a meltage fimilar to that of the 7th of March, would have declared that the French ports nem full of armaments, that the defcent was ready to be made, and that cafequently it was neceffary to feize our Chips and captains. Principles more Ma chiavelian could never be avowed with greater ef. frontery. It was hoped that a new application of them might be made with impunity. Bin the times are much changed—Peace might perhaps be con cluded, and two years afterwards commiffions might he fiercely itTued to kin all our trading vac's, but immediately all the Englilh, men, women, and children, in France, Holland, Italy; Old and New Spain, in 3 fourths of Europe, would be made pri rimers, in reptile' for the men, women, and children detaiped in our trading veffalb. All t h e magaz i nes of Englifh merehandize, or property of any kind would be feized. This fyfteM of reprifals is our right and can alone give us fecurity. We mull oppnfe force to force—energy to energy—and even injullice to injullice—finee by employing fuch weapons England has forced us to have reconrfe to them. The times when the overawed the Cabinet of Verfailles are long fence pall. On the expreffion of the fame fpeaker, that " Eng land had no influence on the determination of Pruffia —it is obferved in another note—" To what purport then were the conferences of the Engin Minifters with M. Jacobi? They had told France that they withed to have Hanover. France eluded the quef. lion, but in elnding it, the, in fome meafure, figni fied that Pruffia had not fulfilled the conditions to which the had fubicribed, that that province might be fecured to her. She did not recal her Minitter— the did not (hut the Elbe or the Wefer. No former had the Cabinet of London perceived what might be the refult, than they intimated their own conjeaures to the Court of Prutlia, to animate it againft France —And yet it is afferted in Parliament, that the Eng- Mb Government has not in the leaft influenced the determination of Prudia." On the obfervation in the fame fpeech, that ge re lying on the jullice of our cafe, and on the invincible valour of our forces by tea and land, we may hope, in a (bort time, to bring our enemy to pacific difpo fitions," there is the following note— " There is no neecffity for fo many refources to bring your enemy to pacific difpofitions—nothing is neceffary but moderation and jullice. Your Miniftry thould be guided by the ideas of that great Man whom you have loft, and whore lots alone has been more fatal to England than all the misfortunes the had before experienced—of that great Man to whole memory you have not ere led any monument—whole widow has not been treated with a munificence wor thy of the Nation—of that great Man, in fine, who h td he lived a year longer, would have faved Pruffia and England, and given peace to Europe." JANUARY 3o.—A letter written by the Chancellor of the French Confulate to the French Minifter for Foreign Affairs, dated Buchareft, the t3th Decem ber, acquaints him that the French Lieutenant Ge neral Reinhard, late French Minifter at Hamburgh, has been arrefled at Yaffy, by order of Prince Dol. gorucki, and fent to Ruflia. The French frigate Thetis captured, on the 15th December, the Engliffi (loop Netley, of v 8 guns. and too men, and carried her into Guadaloupe.—llloniteur. TURKEY. KRAJOWA.—The k.telligence of the incurfion of the Ruffians into Muldavia has been received in all the frontier places of Tut key with equal furprife and indignation. All the commanders along the Banks of the Danube have confulted together to confider by what means they may flop the progrefs of the Ruf fians, and defend the Ottoman Empire. The Ruffians have 35,000 men in Moldavia, molt of them new.raifed troops. Muflapha Barayflar and Pafwan Oglu have already affembled to oppofc them 30,000 good troops, among which is a confiderable body of cavalry. This army will loon be augmented to 50,0cr0 men. Prince Moruzzi propofes to raife a corps of zo,ooo men at his own expence—and when this force (hall be united with that of the Pacha of &Hilda, and that of the commandant of Ibrailow, the Ottoman army on the Danube will be too,ooo flrong. LINTZ, JANUARY 9. The molt recent intelligence which has reached us from Vienna Rates, that more intimate connexions than ever are on the eve of being formed between France and Aultria, and which cannot, it is laid, but contribute, in a molt powerful manner, to the re eftablithment of a Continental Peace. It is alto aliened, that feveral other Princes defire to come to an accommodation with France, and that it is not improbable that the Rhenillt Confederacy may be come more extenlive and general than was at firft expelled. Letters received at Vienna dire& from Poland, mt.tion that the advanced Ruffian poßs will occupy the diflriet of Bialyllock, the only one now remaining in its polleffion of all Pruffian Poland. The mifun• derflanding between the Pruffians and Ruffians aug. ments from day to day, and it feems to be the gene ral opinion, that the Pruffian Monarch will take ad vantage of the pretent moment, when holtilities have almost ceafed, to open negotiations in order to con clude a teparate peace. The whole of thefe letters agree in flming, that the recruiting fervice is going forward with great alacrity in Poland, and that a refpeetable army is organizing there. Several diaries have already furnifhed their quota, which have let out on their march for Warfaw. Every thing is quiet throughout the two Gallicias ; the extreme frontier has alone fuffered from the in. cutfions of the Coffacks : but to put an end to them the Court of Vienna has fent orders to advance a body of troops towards the Bug, and feveral regi. ments have in confequence reinforced the line of neutrality of this point. FROM THE GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, JAN. 28—The Emperor (laid at Pul trifle from the 281 h December to the t ft January, and has infpeded the whole furrounding country. The Ruffians were retreatin►; with precipitation. Fo rage and p►ovifiuns are extremely feat ce in thole parts which has been the fcene of aftion. HAMBURGH . , Jan. 27.—Marfbal Brune is arrived here, and has caufed to be announced, that on the part of his Majelly the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, he has been appointed Governor of the Hans Towns. The head quarters of Martha! Monier, which were at Anclam on the 17th of December, were removed to Friedland, in the country of Strelitz, on the uth inflant ; and it appears that this corps is defined fos Berlin. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDING& HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. it. Sir EVAN NRPF-AN brought up the Report of the Mat Committee, to whom was referred the Petition of the Governors of the Ruyal Navy Afylomi—Referred to a Committee of the whole Houk to INKIITOVI. Colonel BULLOCK prefented two Petitions from different Bodies of Tanners in the County of Mks, againft the Oak Bark Regulation Bill.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. ROBSON gave notice, that he thould on Monday next move for the produetion of certain Papers In the Barrack Dem:- ment, for Great Britain, Ireland, and the Coionks. Mr. MANNING gave notice that on tome day previous to the feecmd reading of the Slave Trade Abolition Bill, he Ibould move for a Committee of the whole Houk to take into confideration the expediency of conmenfating the perfons concerned in that ' trade for they loffes they mutt Whin in confequenee of the laid Bill. • Lord TEMPLE gave notice, that he would move to-morrow for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Pilots on the coats of England, and particularly thole of the Cinque Ports. Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the Cape of Good Hope Trade BW. Ordered to be read the third time to• morrow. The Barrack Coattniffioners' Bill, and the Irilk Controverted Elation BW, were read the third time, paled, and ordered to the Lords. The SECRETARY at WAR moved to pottpone the confidera. don of the Mutiny Bill toTuefday fennight.—Ordered. COMMITTEE ON SINECURE PLACES. Mr. BIDDULPH role and obferved, that al. though the Committee appointed yefterday appear. ed to confift of twenty-two Members, yet in reality it was not In full as it feemed to be ; for the Member firft in nomination was hii Majetty's Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, from the very nature of his office, and the multiplicity of his avocations, could not be fuppofed to give his attendance, and therefore the Committee would be reduced to twenty•one. When the Committee was nominated yefterday, the names of one or two Gentlemen, extremely fit to aid in that enquiry, had efcaped his recolleetion ; and as fuck a Committee ought to be fully and efficient ly attended, he would move for the inclufion of two names, and firft that of Mr. Ellifon. Mr. BATHURST declared that he could not avoid refilling a motion of this nature. The Com mittee at prefent confided of twenty-two inftead of twenty-one, the more tiftial number of Members ; and, if the pra&lice of adding names toa feted Com mittee were to be encouraged by the Houfe acced• ing to the propofal of adding any name, however refpeEtable, to a Committee already In numerous as this was, inftead of felee, they would have alma General Committees, when they were voted to be fele& ones, as every other Member• would have an equal right to propofe the addition of whatever per, fon they might think particularly qualified to terve on that Committee then spoken of. If one was to be propofed in the Read of another, however difa greeable it might be to their feelings, Gentlemen mutt fee that that would be a fair ground of difcul hon. _ _ Mr. NICHOLSON CALVERT fupported the • motion on the ground of the probability that Come of the Members might be a:gent from their duty at the Conrmittee, and adverted to an inflance where he had ken only one Hon. Member, Mr. &think aOing in a committee-room. Mr. BATHURST explained to the Houfe that he was at that time engaged in making ablitads from the flatements which were in the voluminous docu ments before the Committee. It would be perfeOly nugatory for fourteen or fifteen perfons to attempt to perform fuch a talk. In this he could only enla rge that they after' as an affiftant to the Clerk, and not that he perforated the Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded the Houfe that the committee of Finance, whole labours were eftectued to be particularly ad vantageous to the public, and with whom the Houk was moft particularly well fatisfied, confifled only of fifteen Members, and yet now that the plan was completely defigned before them, when the labour mull neceffarity have been confiderably decreefed, the Houle was to be told that twenty-two perfons' were not equal to the talk. The names had not been chofen by ballot ; they were each announced Tingly in an open manner to the Houfe, and were thus the polled reprefentatives of the whole body of the Houle. He appealed to the Honfe itfelf, whether there was any poffibility of there being a Committee more impartially chofen ? they were a filet-lion of the men moft eminent for their talent and inderend ence within thole walls, and might be faid to h.ve been culled from every dais of men, except that clafs to which moil affuredly the Hon. Gentleman could not think the bell qualified for aFting on a Committee, fuch as that of which they were then fpeaking—the dais of placemen he meant. He had not, for his own part, the fmalleft objtaion to the Gentleman alluded to being one of the Committee ; but then his name fhould have been mentioned be fore a Committee of twenty-two perfons were alit ally chofen by the Honk. Mr. JOHNSTONE declared, that the Noble Lord had not fatisfied his mind upon this head. The former Committee, he agreed with the Noble Lord in raying, had difcharged their duty in a man ner molt highly creditably to themfelves, and bene ficial to the fervice of the public. He had no doubt alto that the prefent Committee were as eminently qualified as the Noble Lord had defcribed, to per form the talk affigned to them with honour and ability. But Rill he thought it was rather hard that, after his Hon. Friend had fuggelled the propriety of adopting a meafure, though he unquellionably was not fo capable of fupporting it as the Noble Lord was, and though the Noble Lord entirely concurred" with him, and fupported him in the main objedit of his motion, with only Come little variation of terms, he (till thought it was rather hard that his Hon. Friend fhould not be allowed to name one perfon for the Committee. There had been iußances of names being added to Selea Committees on many former occafions. Mr. W. FREEMANTLE alfo bore teftimony to the refpellability of the names on the prefent lilt ; in fad he could not fee that it was poffible to felea twen • ty-two more independent, more capable, or more honourable men. As to precedent, be did not think that it was necefrary to be refotted to in filch a cafe as the prefent ; but even on the fcore of precedent, he underftood that it was contrary to the eftabliffied ufage of the Houk to add any names after the corn. plete appointment of a Finance Committee. The gallery was then cleared for a divifion, but we underßand that the motion was withdrawn. The routine bnfinefs of the day vas then difpofed of, and the Houk adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, Confola, for time, 6s}}—Reduced 623-omniorn Exchequer bills, par to la. dif. In addition to the Bulletins and other Extra& we were yellerday enabled to lay before our Readers, from the Dutch and Fret.ch Papers, we this day in. fen Tome interefling articles. The article from Lintz, given to-day. and that from Conliantinople given yellerday, are evidently of French manufafture, and are calculated to give a falfe colouring to the prefent (late of Continental politics. The unceafing anxiety of the Freaeh to convirc. Europe of the good underflanding which plev a :l, between them and the Emperor of Aufttia, asfah, appears very manila, from the language of the r e . reign Journals under the controul of BONAPARTI. The Moriteur contains finite animadverfions, in its aual (Lyle, upon the fpeeches in the Houfe of Cosi. mons on the &it day of the Sefflon.

At two o'clwck her MAJESTY and the PRINCEffig vifited the Duke and Duchefs of Yon tc. at thei- honfe in the Stable-yard, St. James's.

The decifion of oufe of Lords on the Slave Trade, has afforde isfaition to the public micd, fuperior to intelligent e greatel iiitories. It is, indeed, a glorious • after a long protriEted and hard fought battle, II the only prejudicet which have rtfleiled difgrace on our national cha• railer. The following Members are returned to ferve in the prefent Parliament : Boynton or AILUNDEL—The Right Hon. Charles James Ba- roe of Letale, in lreland,in the room of Francis join lief/ Efq. who being chofett for that Borough, and alfo for the Bo rough of Horlham, has made his el:tlion to terve for Horgtato. CotINTT or Sussex --The Hon. Charles William Wyndham, of Petworth, Suffex, in the room of Lieutenant-General Charles Leiox (now Doted Richmond). Boatmen or DCNOAKVON.—The Right Min. Lord James Hs• milton, in the room of the Hon. Geo. Ksoz,who, being chores for that Borough, and alfo for the University of Dublin, state his ekdlion to ferve far the University. We are soppy to hear, that a Commercial Treat/ is now upon the tapis between this country and Rut. fia, by which the produce of our colonies, notwith. (landing all the vengeful efforts of Boa etaave, is likely to have an eztenfive and ready market. By private letters from the Continent, received b$ the fame vefrel as the late French Bulletins, we learn that a report is generally circulated, and as genetallf believed, that the mediation of Auftria had been em. ployed to procure a peace, upon fome more favours• ble terms, for the Kiwo of Paussia. It is added. that Aultria has, in this negotiation, affumed a tone of vigour which has long been unknown in her Councils. Baron Viscssr, it is reported, was autho• rifed to Rate definitively, that the Emperor FRANCIS fa w the prefent (late of his Polifh fubjees with pa appreheafion ; and that nothing would fo effeitualif tranquillize the reciprocal fears of his Majefly and bit faithful fubjees, as fome proof of the Emperor NW- Limes moderation, in acceding to the offered nego tiation of his PRUSSIAN MAJISTY. It is (aid that BONAPARTU has thus been reludiantly compelled to enter upon the difcuffion of an armifiice, on a more moderate bails than he would otherwife have grew' ed. We have only to add, that the above flaw ments have no authority but as reports, and per. haps probable conjeflures from the prefent Rote o f things.
