FRANC!! yoURNALS. Jolt as tßis Paper was going to prefs we received a Paris Journal, containing come farther particulars of the trial of MORIAU, who entered'on his defence on the sth intl. He requelled to be permitted to (peak before his Advocate. His requelt was granted, and he gave a kind of biltorical fummary of his life, in which he endeavoured to (hew how little foundation there was for the charges brought againft him. When he had concluded his advocate, &Nair proceeded on his defence, and in a long fpeech took a fimilar view of the principal tranfatlions of his life; his viEtories, his mafterly retreats, and the effential Cervices he had rendered to his country. He ar guedagainft the probability of the charge., though he occafionally put queflions to feveral witnelles for the accniati"n ; and red that the man who had pub- licly declared at the moment of the landing of Boma. PAILTF in France, "This is the man who is neceffary to Pave the country," could never entertain the pro jai of dellroying him, and arrogating to himfelf the fupreme authority. After a fpeech of conliderable length, the Advo 'Cate having declared that the means of defence he had to detail might occupy the audience at lull an hour longer, the Prefident adjourned the fitting. DUBLIN, JUNE 14. • The Troops of the Gan ifon on Tuefday morning received orders in marth from town, and at two o'clock feu off in three divifions for the country.— One column proceeded to the general quarter of ren• der.vous by Malahide t a fecond took the north road to Swords ; and the third its route by Glaffitevin, at tended with field pieces, and all the carriages belong ing to the Commiffsriat Department. The whole met on the Commons over Swords and along the fea coati. In the afternoon they returned to the capital. —The objea of this excurfinn, of which about 3000 troops had but a very Ikon notice, was merely an ex periment to determine in what time they could reach, under an exigency, and in perfeft preparation, a given point for attion. The refult was fatisfaeory. When it was intended, in order to accuflom the Troops to todden movements, to call out the Gar .tifon of Dublin before day-break on Tuefday, the Commander of the Forces, with a becoming . atten tention to the tranquility of the city, fent circular notices to the commanding Officers of the feveral Yeomanry Corps, to acquaint them that no alarm of public danger, but merely a plan of exetcife, would require this nolturnal movement of the Troops In tit amt. . .

H. and W. ; the latter • f whom WAS mortally wounded at the fiat round, the ball penetrating his arm and one of the lower ribs, and lodging iii the vertebrm of the bar.:. The carafe originated in a Court of Inquiry, which was held on a Lieutenant V. of the fame regiment, agairitt whom Mr H. wls tailed to give evidence : on leaving the Court the former accolled and abut - - ed him, laying that his es ider.ce Nice :of which Ecndritt Mr. H. very , properly took ro other notice than teporting it to the Court. A limn time after this had happened, Lieuten.lnt \V. a friend of Lieut. F. took great pains to propagate the report that Mr. 11. had ital.:red an intuit without relenting it ; ad. ding, that however he might affront him, he fhould not be afraid of bs Mg called out. This was reported to Mr. li. by his friends, who ad•ifed him to call on Lieutenant W. The confequence was, that they fought—the latter fell, and the former, with hi.; fe cond, Captain C. have left the country. Two new (loops, to be called the RAILLIVR and A•swn t It, have, within there few days, been launch ed from the private dock yards in the river Thames ; they will be fitted for fervice immediately. LORD GRENMLE AND 1118. "PITT.. The removal of Mr. ADDINGTON from power, and the mans by which he was forced to retire, have al ready excited much animadverfion, and every thing that tends to throw light on that tranfallion, will be read with interell by the public. In this view the fubjoined letter from Lord Gatti vs Lt.e to Mr. PITT, will be held an hillorical document Lereafter, when the fcenes of the prefent day will be viewed with lefs paGon than they now can. It teems to he admitted by all, that Mr. ADDINGTON has paired the ordeal of the late changes with an iacreafe of charaCter. Whe ther his fucceffur has not funk in the fame proportion, we (hall tint now inquire. Mr. ADDINGTON'S con duet has proved him to be a man who will not pulls down Parliament by the weight of the Crown, or hunt the Crown into his toil by the means of Par liament ; who will not fet prerogative againft privi leges, or privilege againft prerogative ; who does care whether he kill Cassio, or Cristo him ;" and to whom all means are not equal that primate his end. With taped to the perfons who deferted that Gen tleman the infant he abdicated office ; thole impar tial fouls who can fee no diffinaion between " Trojan and Trim," to whom, whether virtuously govern ing, or honellly voting, Pity and Arootworom, and Fi 'ox and BUCKHORSC, are alike indifferent—as to this dercription of crawling creatures, maggots of our civil fyilem, it is bell to let them travel on to that Pure oblivion which will preferve their memory, about as long a► that of the hntfea on which they ride. (COFY.) " MY DEAR P -.--.., Sib May, 1804. 44 I have already apprired you that all the perfons to whom, at your detise, I communicated what pair ed between us yefterday, agree with me in the decid ed opinion. that we ought not to engage in the Ad. miniftratiun which you are now employed in forming. " We fhould be fincercly lorry, if by declining this propnfal, we iliould appear lets defirous than we mull always be, of rendering to his MA)! STY, to the ut moft of our power, every fervce of which he may be gracioufly pleated to think us capable. No confider ation of perfonal cafe or comforts no apprehennon of refponfibility, nor relußance to meet the real fitu ation into which the country has been brought, have oily weight in this decifiun : nor are we fettered by any engagements on the fubjetl. either expreded or implied ; we red out determination fulely on our drong fenfe of the impropriety of our becoming par ties to a fyllem of government, which is to be form ed at fueh a moment as the prefect. on a principle of excludon. _ _ is It is unnecefrary to dwell on the mifchiefs which have already refulted from placing the great offices of Government in weak and incapable hands. We fee no hope of any effeaual remedy for there mifchiefs but by on:ring in the public fer•ice " as large a pro " portion as pomble of the weight, talents, and cha " ratter, to be found in public men of all defcrip 4, dons, and wit:tout nay exception." This opinion I have already had occafion to exprers to you in the fame wards, and we have for fome time part been publicly aaing in conformity to it ; nor can we, while we remain impreffed with that perfuafion, con cur in daeming An objet for which the circumaances of the prefent tunes affiird at once fo (irons an in ducement, and fo favourable an occafion. " An opportunity now offers, filch as this cantry has feldom teen, for giving to its Government in a moment of peculiar difficulty, the full benefit of the fervices of all thofe, who by the public voice and feet timent, are judged molt capable of contributing to its profperity and fafety. The wifhes of the public on Ibis fubjeel ate completely in s:nion with its inte reftse and the advantages, which not this country alone, but all Europe, and the whole civilized world, might derive from the eftablifhment of filch an Ad minithation,at fuch a crifis, would probably have ex ceeded the mol fanguine expedations. " We are certainly not ignorant of the difficulties which mighthaireobftrated the final accomplahment of filch an objea, however earneflly purfued. But when in the very fir ft inflance all trial of it is precluded, and when this denial is made the condition of all A& revolt arrangements, we cannot hut feel that there are no motive , , of whatever deficription, which could jullify our taking an active part in the eftablifhment of a fyftem, fo ad verfe to our deliberate and declared opinions.

The company affernbled in the Saloon foun after fix, and was, as ulna], very name ronily attended. Immediately on tha removal of the cloth, "The KING" was given, as the only toa ft of the day. His Royal Highnefs took occafion, foon after wards, to addrefs his ditiingnill•ed vifirors upon the in creafingembarraumentsin theGovernm!iitofthe coun try. He alluded, but with great deiieacy,tothe Parlia- mentary divifion of 'Friday laft, and concluded a very elegant harangue by remarking, " that he trufted the event of that night's difcuffion would be cnnfidered by his friends as prnpitiOnfl). tending to a more firm, and efficient P minillration, hereafter. than as a temporary triumph of party fpirit." The company feparated loon after ten o'clock, highly gratified with their entertainment, and much more by the mixed manlinefs and conciliation difplayed by their Royal Entertainer.
