The erifis which England is on the point of expe riencing, does not thre.ttett her Constitution ; it will only a:le,`.l - her fyilera of Adminittration ; it will change die principle,, Inwil;ty the praCtice, and de [troy the agents. The preterit Cabinet is in a pofi tion far from being durable. The fuperficial obferver thinks the Government liable, becaufe the Oppotidon ore filent ; but is not this very filence a fy!tem of po litical malady ? The people may expea all forts of calamities when the. Oppofiticn are wi:hout the means of giving fome enerAy to the Adminiara. Lion, and above all, when to this internal difeafe are added, foreign carafes wl.icli threaten to aggravate it. Such is the political fitiroion of England ; the Op pofitinn silent—the Mini;ter; inert—the people un eafy.—Bz.P.-tin Prditique. The Pi etidents of the Cantons who were prcfented to his Majelly the other day, were addrefi - ed by him in the following terms:— " Gentlemen, Praidents of 3,600 Cantons, I fee you with pleafure near my throne, to which I have been called by the unanimous wither. of the inhabi tants of the Cantons reprefented by you. I with I could have aflembled round me the whole of the French people—it would have been facet to me to have been encircled by their affedlion. Had / known any form of government which would have fuitcd the French better than what they have adopted, / thould have been eager to have given it than. I Ihould think myfelf unworthy of the throne, if in afcending it I had any other intention than that ofentirriug the happiucfs of my people, and increafing the profperity of my vatt Empire. The Prcfider.ts of the Cantons have !hewn much zeal in the cxercife of their lune: dons, ar.-!....eCtion for ray per fon—die y will continue to be c; • props of my power. What I fay of the Pre- 1 tidents of Cantons, applies alto to the Mayors of my 36 good Cities. Though fixed more particularly in rite capital of the Empire, I do not the leis extend my regard to all parts of France, and I carry equariy in my breatt the people of all the Departments. My palace is the paternal houfe of all the French. Be convinced, Gentlemen, that my happinefs depends upon the confidence and love of my people." The troops lent by Aultria to form on the frontier of the Tyrol and the banks of the Adige, a cordon to prevent the introduction of the diforder from Leg horn, produced fome alarms in the Aollrian States— alarms feized with avidity by !bole enemies of peace and of their eountly ; but the Auflrian Government re affured the people by making known to them the foie caufe of the movements of the troops It is true that the number ann-unts to 42,000 men; but it is fufficient to look at the length of the c n don, to refle.Cl upon the rigour of the weather, arid it will not appear extraordinary. His Majetly fet off yefierday morning at nine o'clock to hunt. The hounds were to throw off at la Meate, near St. Germain. He returned to Elie Thud ler in at five in the evening. There was lall night a prii! ford and ball at his :Mt& I ;al highn.:fet Prince Jos E r It. The Empror was prefent. General MQRtau, it is 0101101 t, will embark for America in the beginning of January.

AMSTERDAM, I)Fc. z6.—On Monday there mac no corn-market at Rotterdam, the troll having fat in here, lo as to interrupt all internal navigation. The navigation of the Macfe is now obit' lifted by the ice which floats io it ; and the !hips in the Canals of the city of Ito.erdam are locked in by the ice. Varina T. - .b.:cco is Idaly become dear and (Caret, the La growth having entirely failed, 'and what is work, the plant.ttions being completely de. flroyed. A Spanifh !hip dellined to North America, having 16,000 cannillers of this: article on board, for the King's account, has been wrecked. The taglifit prifoners of war from the ROMNEY were exchanged lack week, for a like number of our fhermen, who are neatly all now returned to their refpeCtive homes. At Gottenburgh, an attempt to fet that unfortu nate city again in flames was difcovered. In a wood cellar feveral bundles of tiraw were found bound round with hemp and furze, which had been thrown in there. The flames had already caught the wood ; and what the confequence might have been no one can fay, if a dog, who faw or (melt the fire, had not begun to howl in the molt dreadful manner, fo as to attraa attention to the (pot. A reward of rOOO six dollars has been offered for the difcovery of the of. fender or offenders. Co4sraorimovzs, Nov. tz.—According to Intel• ligence which has been received, the Ruffians at this moment are maters of all Georgia, of a number of ports in the Cafpian Sea, of Erivan, Guenge, and feveral other confiderable places. On the banks of the Araxes they lately defeated the Perfians, com• mended by the Sons of Fathali, and purfued them to the City of Taurus. Since this event, it is faid, that a numerous army has been colleEted in the province of Mazanderan, which is commanded by the Perfian Monarch in perfon ; and he purpc.fes to march againft the Ruffians with allpoffible expedition.

Mr. PAGET is togo to Fiance as Agent for our Government, for that purpofe. On Thurfday lath, the INDEFAVGARLR, Captain MOORE, which had been cruizing off the coalt of Spain, came into Torbay, and, having put a Gentle man on board a fifhing finack, failed again imme diately. the Gentleman was landed by the fmaek at Plymouth, from which he fet oft exprels for town with difpatches, as is foppofed, of great Mil-on:nee, but nothing terpeeting the object of them has yet tranfpired. A King's meffengcr arrivcdin t.: - )wi early on Tuef day lag, from the Earl of Moms, in Leicellerfhire • bearing difpatches from his Lordthip to his Royal Hightiefb the Prince of Wat.ss, and the LORD CHAN ceLLoft. On the fame morning, Mr. ERSKINE and Mr. SHERIDAN were clofeted with his Royal High nefs at Carleton Houle, for five hours. A fucceffin is confidently announced to Lord Hatt aowav, whole health difables him from continuing to difcharge the funftions of Secretary of State for the Foreign Department ; but we have reafbn to think that this arrangement has not yet been definitively agreed upon.--As to the more eztended changes which are fuppofed to have taken place in the Cabi net, the utmolt inyitery is ohferved ; nor do we ima gine that it is the intention of Government to declare them very long previous to the meeting of Par iiament. Further private accounts found their way from Holland, yefterday, by which it appears that Tome great (hock is expeeted to take place, in confequence of the meditated attempt of the French Government to change the form of the Batavian Conflitution.— Hints are (till thrown out in regard to the expeCted interference of the King of Pausste, but nothing certain appears known on the fub j eCt. A few more French and Dutch Papers, of the fame dates as thole which we have already quoted, were received yetterday, but they furnifh no new in• formation. Yeflerday morning at fix o'clock twc Meffengers arrived at Kitty, with to i,is MAJESTY, and at nine his MAJESTY fet otf for Windfor.

Yclierday the Chancellor of the'Exchequer and Lend HAWICaSBURY had long interviews with his Royal Higlinefs the Duke of YORK at the Horfe Guards ; after which feveral Military Officers had long audiences of his Royal Highnefs. Lail night difpatches were fent from the Admi ral:y to Plymouth, to be forwarded by a fag-failing to Admiral Coariwaws, off Brett.

Yeflerday a great number of Midfhipmen and Mat ter's Mates, who have paff:d their examination for Lieutenants in the Royal Navy, were appointed Sub- Lieutenants on board different Blips and gun veffels. They are to be allowed their rank, and when not in commfflion, are to receive half par. Their uniform to be that of the undrefs which the Lieutenants of the Navy wear at prefent. Yefterday a Court of Directors was held at the Eaft India Houfe, when Captain THoMAs Tecaor HARRINCTON was fworn into the command of the Ganges, for China diret, vice Captain Wit.ctest MOFFATT, refigned. Yellerday died, at his honk in Portland-plact Sir G. P. TURNER, Bart. Member for Thirfk, in iork fhiq. He was the third Baronet, and married, in 1782, Mifs FRANCES HOWELL, daughter of JAMES HOWELL, of Elm, in the county of Norfolk, Efq. by whom he has left five children. He fucceeded, in Augull, 1795, to the eaates of his great uncle and godfather, Sir GREGORY PAGE, by will ; and then added to his own the name and arms of PAGE. At the general eleflion in 1784, he was chofen Member of Parliament for Thirll, in Yorkfhire, which he has reprefcnted ever fince.

The prifoner was convifted in the penalty of t ocl. under the Little- Go Aft, which not being able to pay, he was com mitted to the Houfe of Correftion for thrce months. Monday morning a fire broke out in the lint houfe of Mrs. Ruffel, at Maiditone, which wa:, extinguithed by the aflive exertions of the offic..:rs and privates of the Royal Bucks, previous to the at rival of the engines. A perfon, in the neighbourhood of Egremont, had his left arm ten ibly thattered by the bunting of his gun, whim firing at tome birds, on Chriftmas-day. Monday evening a fire broke out in a liable belong ing to Mr. MILB&NK, at Little Waltham, Eitex by which two hmles were deftroyed. The bottle of " Mr. BROWN, nearly adjoining, and a blackfmith's (hop, were much damaged. The footpads who have lately robbed a number of perfons near Clapham and Stockwell, and on the Croydon road, (fill purfue their depredations, in eon. fequence of which a large party of patroles are (la. tioned in that quarter. The following method has in two inflances beert fuccefsful in extra Ling a pin from the throat when it had been accidentally fwallowed. The fart cafe is very recent :—A young woman of the name of Bry. ant, a rnantua-maker of Chippenham (from the impro per cuttom of plating pins into her mouth) 'aft week (wallowed one, which Ituck in the lower part of her throat. A profeflional gentleman being called in, he placed the patient with her head bent back over the back of a chair, an egg was then broken, and the contents poured down her throat; previous to this procefs, an inftruntent was prepar ed, which is called profeffionally a probang, but which is nothing more than a piece of fponge, fattened to :he end of a tmootls and (lender piece of whalebone, about half a yard long ; this intlrument, in the moment :hat the patient endeavoured to fwallow the contents of the afore mentioned egg, was forced with a quick heady hand down the throat into the floniach, ar..l brought the pin Ricking in the fponge. A meeting of bankers, conveyancers, publifhers of newfpapers, infuranee brokers, 1 artery-office•kcepers, and others interefted in the purchafe and confumption of (tamp paper, in Scotland, has been held at Edin burgh, at which it has been refolved to apply to the Lords of the Treafury for the eflablifliment of an office at Edinburgh, for [tamping paper for Scotland. The application is founded on the 4th and 6th articles of the Treaty of Union, by which it is declared, that the fttbjeds of the United Kingdom; fhould be en titled to a communication of all rights, privileges and advantages which did or might belong to the fubje&s of either kingdom ; and that all parts of the United Kingdom thould be entitled to the fame al lowances, encouragements and drawbacks. By the prefent mode of proceeding, by which paper is al lowed to be Ramped only in London, the confumers of Ramps in Scotland are fuhjed, it is alledged, to great and various inconveniences, and to contikto a ' ble erpence ; Earticularly the bank and hankers, v ha mutt run the rifle of parcels of their notes being loft or Roles in the courfe cf tranfrnialon ; and newt - - paper printers, tee. who mull bear the expence of carriage, and of infuring their property to and from London and mutt either attend themfelves o pay an agent in London for tranfading their but - In:is.— In this way, not only are the rights, privilege: and advantages enjoyed in England not communicated to Scotland, but alfo the allowances, encouragements and drawbacks are not made equally to apply to both countries. From there confiderations, and alto from the circumtlance of Scotland having firpreme Courts of law, and boards of Cullom: and Excife, it is argued that the, equally with Ireland, ought to have a board of Stamps alfo ; which would certainly have been eßablithed in Scotland, at the time of the Union, as well as the other Boards, had Ramp duties then exiaed in that part cf the kingdom. w 11 1.- ____. — —.....,....._ FOR THE USE OFIKHOOLS. jun ruNiftscd, price Twu itiilliegs tmid. riCERONIS EPISTOLA: FAMILIARES , lik 0 4 fel, • I.t. tt ad <ciiiidrirum fi.km optimorum (-Cheats. i • Locid.foi: Vritcwit spud Priddot. 1... w. it Riebaidou.
