FRANCE. LIONLATIVZ BODY, I PRIMAIRN, (NOV. at.) PIiSIDIOCT OF DUPUIS. The order of the day being the prefentation of the projea of a law refpeaing the Treaty condu it:A on the sth of Fruaidor, year 9, (Auguft 23,) between the French Republic and the Eledor of Bavaria, the Cantlenor of State Boozer (de la Nieurthe) after having read the Treaty, addreffed the Affembly as follows : The Treaty of Peace prefented to you, Citizens Legifiators, is a Rains inflame oldie wifdom and moderation of the French Government. Bf this Treaty the Fidler of Bavaria renounces all the rights of territorial fuperiority and property which belonged. to him in the countries and domains fituated on the left bank of the Rhine. He re nounces there in particular the Duchies of Julia: ' and Deux Pouts, as well as all the Basiliwicks of the Palatinate &sated on the fame bank. If at the epoch of this Treaty there domains bad not belonged to the Republic, it might under this point of view have been advantageous to it ; but they formed already a part of die French territory by the Treaty of Luneville, which in this refped only renewed that of Campo.Formio, by which all the left bank of the Rhine, occupied for a long time by our armies, bad been ceded to France. This talon, made by the Emperor and the Ger.' man Empire, is one of the benefits then of the Treaty of Luneville, and not an advantage of that concluded at a later period wide Bavaria. The' renunciation of the Eleaor ought therefore to be canfidered as nothing elfe than a proof of his fpe cial adhering to the Treaty of Lunevllle, or as a tefliniony of defire to execute that treaty ; but it is evident that it gives no new augmentation of territory to the Republic. The orator, after ex • patiating on the condo& of the Eleftor of Bavaria in joining the coalition, though he had conc lu d ed a Treaty with the French Republic in the year 4, and extolling the generous and magnanimous condo& which, notwithflanding his aggreffion, France had (hewn towards him, even in midi of vittory, proceeded to Rate, " That, in regard to the loffes which the Eleaor had fuftained on the left bank, he mull, in terms of the Treaty of Lnoeville, be indensnifted for them on the right bank ; and though, on this fake, the French Government might Brew itfelf indifferent, it is de. firous of Rill giving a proof of its good will to. words the Eleaot, and promifes to him its irks. ewe zed its mass, not only that the indemnity fhall be complete, but that it thall be emonsiew to km, and really render him more powerful than he was before the war." After making tome further ob . fervatioos on the moderation difplayed by the French Nation, the orator concluded with fisting, that the Treaty contained nothing contrary to the Conftitudon. The Prefident then &aced that the projea of the law refpeaing it, and a copy of the crator's fpeech, (Ismail be tran smitted without de lay, by a niefragz, to the Tribunate. 8 FILIMAItt, VOTINBIII 29. The Order of the day being the prefentation of the projea of a law, in regard to the Treaty con cluded on the 16th of Vendemiaire (Oa. 8,) be tween the French Republic and the Emperor of all the Rufus. the Counfelico of State, hating read the Treaty, made a long fpeech. in which he gave an account of the various events that preceded the negotiation for this Treaty, and concluded with the following obfervations on its general tendency and advantages This Treaty prefents a vat field for new fpeeutations on the pad of the French mere/anti--Porte ac quired by France to the north of its antient limits; the free navigation of the Scheldt, which will c^nytT to the ocesn, and thence to the via di Rant cr.irotries, the produdions of Belgium; and which sa ill roll: re to the city of Antwerp its antitot fp:endow. ; a new Wood& communicated in all parts of the Republic to the national ;oilman - ; encorragenserit and rewards granted by Go e z =trent to the efforts of the arts and of commerce. rive t: • rci•tet tnhve, that OUT natrigat: m sill rtlume cnurfe towards the North, i% has bees too lose segiegted for the sailor and al wit exclutivo navigation of the Pacific leas of ow Weftern colonies : no doubt, we (ball fee our (hips (hew themfelves as before in the Baltic, in the fea of Lapland, and penetrating even to the extremities of the Boreal teas, to enrich us in the one by an exchange of our produaions, and in the other by the Whale Filhery : it is there, it is on the frozen thorn and foggy coatis of Newfoundland, that there may be formed by fatigue and danger, a new nurfery of (cameo., who will introduce into the navy of the State, when the voice °Muir cowl. try, =Bs urn them, that naval experience, the want of Which can never be fupplied by the impe. tuous courage of the French, by their love of glory, and even by their genius." The Prefident decreed, that the law, together with the Orator's (perch, (bould be tranfmitted without delay by a meffage to the Tribunate. FRIM•1111, NOVEMBER 30. The Order of the Day being the'Projed of a law in regard to the Treaty concluded between the French Republic and Portugal, the Counfellor of State, DREIRISMIT, after reading the Treaty, addreffi the Atrembly, as follows : Citizens Legidators—The Treaty which I have the honour of prefentins to you, is one of thofe Aas for which we are indebted to the wifdom of the meafures taken by the government, and to the eutuagetsub devotion of the armies of the Repub lic. It will not be difficult to make you fenfible of the advantages it prefenu fur the honour and praperity of the two nations. It contains three principal difpofltions. By the firft, peace and' amity are re.ellabliffied between the French Re public and the Kingdom of Portugal, and the po litical relations between the two Powers are re. ftored on the fame footing as before the war. By the fecund, the limits between die two Guyana*, the French and the Portugnefe ' are fixed for the future. In a country ahnoit defart, none better could be chores than rivers and mountains and it was natural that France, whofe poileifions in that quarter are much lets eztenGve than thofe of Por tugal, mould make thefe limits approach the an cient point at which they had been fixed. In the Lift place, the third Rates, That there mall be negotiated betweeli the two Powers, a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, which mill Re in a definitive manner, the commercial relations be tween France and Port%al ; but is the mean time, tin the former communications be ellabliffied, the citizens and fuhjelts of the two Powers ihall equally and refpedively enjoy in both States all the rights which are enjoyed by the fubjeds of the moll favoured nations : That the commodities and merchandize the produce of the foil and ma nufaaures of eac h of the two States, (hall be re ciprocally admitted without rethidions, and with out being &Ned to any dutf . which ihall not ' equally ailed fimiliar commodities and mercban dize imported by other nations; and that the French' cloth may be confequently introduced into Portugal on the footing of the moll favoured mer thandize. The Orator then proceeded to give an hiftorical view of the relations between France and Portugal, and recurring to that article of the Treaty whic h relates to the boundaries betiveen the two Guyana:, obfeived thus :- 44 It is an error to fuppofe that the Torrid Zone cannot be inhabited by Europeans : the Amazon, the largeß river in the world, purfues a winding courfe parallel to the equinolffial, two or three de grees fouth of that line, which iticms at its mouth; and la Condamine, who followed it throughout its whole courfe, did not find the heat infupport able. The climate beComes temperate the farther one pe netrates . into the country, thebeautyofwhich u gives s reafon to hope, that valuable colony may be founded in it. There hopes, indeed, can not be realized without powe-ful aid, but it was necerat 4 y, in the firil place, that the boundaries of the Colony, Rill unr-ertqin, mould be fixed.— If debates arofe in the Britill Parliament on the means of reconciling this fixation with the Preli minary Treaty concluded between France and England, which confecrates the integrity of the Portuguefe poileffions ; theft- debates could occa lion no ferrous difficulty. It is evident that the cbufe of the Preliminary Treaty had relation only to the invafion with which Portugal was threatened by the French army, then on its frontiers." The Legiflative Body decreed, that the projea of the Law, together with a copy of the Orator's fpeech, mo uld be forthwith traufmitted to the Tri bunate by a meffage.

DISTILLIMITS. Mr. VAssisTART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to prohibit the dillillation of fpitits from wheat in Ireland, Sic JONV A rAllini made a few obfervations on this Motion, and profeffed himielf uncertain whe ther fuch a prohibition as that propofed did not already cola among the names of the hi% Par liament. If, however, any new prohibition was to be made, he thought that it: ould with much more propriety be applied to oats, which conftitut4 ed a very important part of the food of the lower orders in Ireland in 3 variety of difttiifts. Mr. Coats , was againft the rettriftion fuggefted by the Hon. Baronet, and (toted, that in the dif tillefies of Ireland, pats formed a capital part of ' the grain which they confirmed in their helmets. Mr. Wi :Anemic; was extremely anxious that the prohibition of Gots &ould be introduced both in this country and in Ireland. ' Gentlemen in (peaking on this fubjea, did not [rem to confider how extenfive the ufe of bread made frqm oats was in the Northern parts of the kingdopi, and that every arrment which applied againft the dif tilladon of fpinte from wheat applied to this other fpecies of grain in a (Lill ftronger ftree. He de precated ftrongly the inexpediency of coming to a holly decifion on fo important a fubje&, and re commended a more mature and tenons invelliga tion of it after the reeds. He added a number of ohfervations to this effeet, and reafoned a good deal in fuch a way as !hewed that be entertained confiderable doubts about the expediency of taking off the rearaints from the dill3lcries at the prefent moment. _ _ _ The Cx•vcet.Lne of the Excntopta rote to reply, and let out with remarking, that he was as anxious as his Hon. Friend could be to avoid any hafty icfolution. He could not help obferv ing, however, that with thefe profeffions the ten dency of his Hon. Friend's obfervation was to in volve the Houle in that very bafty refolution which he leaned fo anxious to deprecate. For the Houle would recollect, that on the tit of Ja nuary the prohibitions againft the working of the Diltillerics would expire of themfelves, unit& re newed by a formal derifion, and Inch a deci fi on his Hon. Friend, from the whole cepa:lr of his fpeech, appeared anxious to recommend. The motion now offered to the Houfc, on the other hand, did not, in the fmalleft degree, involve any premature decifion, but was merely intended to extend to Ireland a falutary reltriition which al ready exitied in this country. The whole of the arguments which his Hon. Friend had urged, though profeffing to refer merely to the prohibi tion of the life of oats in diollation, certainly did apply with equal, or perhaps ratter face, againtt Diltilleries in general; anet'aserefore be b the indulgence of the Houk, *make a few abler rations on the general principle'of the prisPriety of allowing the Diftilleries to renew their labours in the pretest fituation of the country, It was.pain ful to him to be under the neceffity of oppofing an opinion which was very generally prevalent ; but he had laid it down as an invariable principle of conduit, that no ceofideration fhould induce him to compromife his opinions, however they might countered fentiments which were confidered to be popular, or prevent him from upholding what he was per fuaded was calculated for the true ittterea and permanent benefit of the country, even againit prejudices of the &maga kind. He felt it, how ever, to be his duty, when (peaking of opinions which had obtained a very general prevalence, to be cautious pf applying to them the epithets of prejudices. Their prevalence he &odd ever con fider as a ground fur him to fufped the truth and propriety of the opinions he himfelf held, to in quite with anxiety on What fide truth really was placed, and to afcertain whether thofe opinions which (elf--love might incline him to concave as true. were not founded in error, and were not adually and truly as injurious as thole which be was fo eau to condemn. In coufequence of inch confiderations it was, that be had for the tall four or fire months employed all the confiderations on this important fubjed which numerous other am. cations would allow, and the refult of his delibe. rations had been , that be could not fee any ergo. ment whatever to &tidy his mind that the dial leries Osould not be allowed to refume their la ' bottrs. In deciding upon this queftion he called upon the Houle to recoiled what the dream fiances were in which the country now flood ? Within the salt century the population cf the king door hal experienced a very rapid increafe, and it Iwas undinobtedly true that. within the laft nine co tot years, during which we had got into out bands 1. - the trade of almoft the whole %mild. confitmpti had increafed in an extraordinary degree. Gentlemen would take the trouble to hiok (li the papers which were at different times laid the table of the I luufe, they would find that int portation, not merely in defedive feafons, but i ordinary years within the period he had laft fpeci fed, had prodigioufly increafed. From wli eagles thefe effects had flawed was a natural o jea of inquiry, and he would fL utly gate to 'logic what was one important caufe which ha produced In important a change. A great pro, portion oldie capital which formerly was employ, ed on other objedts was, on the profped of a mar ket fo favourable and fo extenfive as the war pre. Tented, turned into the channels of trade. and itr dividuals who were formerly enabled to gain about Bs. a week by their labour, had obtained a large in, ereafe, and this in its turn was neceilarily followed by a fiiperior mode of living, and by a new in. creak of confumption. Under fuch a new preffureo production had ceafed to be adequate to the de. • mends which were made upon it, and agriculture, with every exertion which it could ufe, was unable to keep pace with the growth of confump t i on .- - Every effort was indeed - ufed to countered this eft fed, and the number of Bills for the improvement of lands formerly walk and uncultivated, fufa e i. ently lbeweil what means were employed to eaten the agricultural refources of the country. Th refources be nulled would, at no very remote vial, be found adequate to the demands of our or dinary copfumption. Such being, however, prefent the fituation in which we were plaeed, w h at were the principles op which we were called to aft ? We were Called Vlpoll to remove every e igiug edified; to cultivation, to ahitain from every fort of interference with the economy of trade, bud to avoid every meafure which bad the &sad tendency to check the progrefs of produdion.— This was the condat which policy always did, and always would didatt. Even in the left faxes of Parliament, when the diftrefs of the country was extreme, it was not withoot pain that the Lrygilla tore agreed to the meafure of promoting initiortap t i„ b y bounties. It was never till the proffers becapie extreme in this country thimfound policy would warrant any interference frith the general, economy of trade, or that a wife Legiflature would take any flep which might have the effect at difiouraging the farmer in has endeavours to create predation. How then did the cafe bell when thefe principles'wero applied to the fubjeg before the Houfe It mull he on the general with not to interfere with trade, when a ftrong cafe of the neceilky of fuch inter& mice exiled, This 11/3S4ile didate of found policy, and found policy evinced the expediency *fallowing the application of grain to a variety of purpafe s . The diftilleries then prefented one grand field fat loch fpeculations. Did any one, he defired is know, doubt that the diftilleries . had given rife se a great iocreafe in the predation of barley in the country ; and was any one prepared to deny the if once you admitted the propriety of prolaik ing diftilaii from oats, the Houfe might gods to fuck n prohibition with refpcit to barley, and* proceed from ftep to Rep till they had difcoverei by fatal experience the impolicy of their comb& and be obliged at hat to return to that wife (yam of Le illation which they bad imprudently gas. cloned? The qnettion was now then, wilt:sheets& a neceffity crated as couldpoffiblyjultify theHoufe in continuing the _prohibitions on the operations d the diftilleries He defired that, in deciding this queftion, the different purpofes to which barley was applied might be fairly confident'. Barley was applied in fosse diftrids of the country is the puk of making bread; in others it was id in' -fmig !w i ne, and generally for malting iit breweries, and for the ufe of the diftilleries. hi confidering the firft of thefe purpofes he had tore. mark, that if the relative price of what and ter. ley was attended to, it would be fern that the if. ference was not fuch as to prefent a strong induct meat to prefer the ufe of one fora of bread to the other, but if they were difpofed to give npfudas preference they could have the Quarter 100 st (even-pence , which was ftirely a reafonable prim No argument could therefore be employed unit the propriety of allowing the difti ll enes to retime their label= Irons an idea that it would injure du public by enhancing the price of bread. Nor viewing the ufe of barley in feeding hogs did it sp. pear to him that there was any neceffity for coca. nuiog the prohibition on the diltilleries.
