The SECRETARY at WAR (Mr. Yorke) brought up the army ellimates ; the heads of which being red at the table, he gave notice of his intention to move them on }ridgy next. As, however, they were only for thrzor months from the ift I,f January, and precifely the fame as thofe voted lall Seffion, he thought it was probable the Houle would nut think it =teary to have the papers printed. Mr. B. Rosso4 thought, if ever t!.ere was a time when the papers istills: be printed, it was the relent. The two cafes were very different. Lift Seffin-i we were at war ; but we were now told that wz arc at peace. There was <ne part of the efti rnatcs to wii;eh be would certainly object : he mzant the cavalry.

The vefrel in which he came home having been charged with duplicates of the dif. patches which have already been publilhed, Sir SIDNEY brings no news : he has, however, brought with him a great number of letters from our coun trymen in Egypt, which will no doubt prove high ly acceptable to their relatives. This day we received Paris Journals to the Ctli init. inclufive. Marquis Colt NWALLI s had not then reached Paris, but was expeEled to be there on 1 the following day. The article apparently of moft importance in there Journals, relates to fome popular difturbances which have broken out in one of the provinces of Spain. On the firfl blufh of the affair it might - be thought that no fcrious confequences could rcfult from it, but having for its main.fpring an avowed dcteltation of the feudal and manorial rights of the lords of the foil, it is insporfible to calculate what it may lead to. The fiege of Porto Fcrrajo was continued till the arrival of the news of peace. The defence of this place by an handful of Britifh again(' fo very tuperior a fora as the French fent again(' it, will be recorded in hiflory to the praife of our brave countrymen. Tier, Confolid; Go fr. 25 c. We here fubjoin Tome extrafts from their Journals :••• PARIS, NOVEMBER 4.—The trees remaining in the grand court of the Thuilleric s have been all cut down, fo that nothing will, in future,'interrupt the view cf that beautiful palace, nor the evolu tions of the troops on parade days. The demoli tion of the place du Carousel proceeds with ra pidity : the place will be anted and 'paved fur the Fete of the 9th. We are informed from Offend, that till the con cl ulion of a definitive treaty of peace between France and England, a communication will lee eftablifhed between that port and Margate, for the conveyance of paffengers and letters. A great number of patiports have already arrived at ()Rend from tha Minifier of General Police, which will be filled up for fuch foreigners as land at that port. Commerce at Offend begins to revive a little ; feveral fbips are expeeled there immediately front Bourdeaux and Spain. he Minifter of Juftice has written to the Cum. miffioners of Government with the Criminal Tri bunals, that the fad article of the law, enaacd on the 4th Brumaire, year 4, (OAR. 26) Rating, that the punifhment of death (hall be abolifhed in the Republic, after the day ,f the Proclamation of Ge neral Peace, cannot yet be carried into execution, as the Definitive Treaty with England is not yet liftned, and that therefore the Criminal Tribunals muff continue for the prefent to apply all the poni(hments eftablifhed by the penal laws. Nort start p—Lord (Marquis) CORNWALLIS, Minifler Plenipotentiary of his BRITANNIC MA ssr v, for the negociatiuns refpeting the peace, will arrive here the day after to-morrow, the 7th inflant.—Moniusgr. We learn from Leghorn, that the French Miro la Vitoire, which arrived there from Longone in two days, hat ent , :red that port. This velrel was dirpatched by the French Government to Corfica and the ifland of r. 16.4, with the news of the peace with England. The Captain declared that when this i n telligence reached the illand of Elba,.all the operations againit Porto Vcrrajoceafed.—Mcwitevr. MADRID, OCT. 2. -lt appears that fame fermen tation Rill prevails among the inhabitants of the country in the environs of Valenaio, and that the few malcontents who were not able to excite the people to the conimitton of criminal exceffes at the time of the dlablilihment of the provincial militia, entertain hopes of mifleading them by other means. Thefe malcontents tear down the emblems of feu_ dahry wherever they fiLd them, and threaten to put to fc ho pay manorial dues. The authors there dife7ders arc few in number, I.rit :;.:. C ti" not (WTI deficient in a certain kind of talent. It is, however, fuppoied,l that it will be only neceffary to banifh them to re (lore tranquillity. In the mean time troops are filing off towards that quarter, and the Gove:n ment is put fuing the proper meafures to prevent new dillurbances. The friends of order have been invited to take up arms againft the feditious, and founding the trumpet-marine has been forbidden, becaufe it is the lignal of the difcontcnted; fathers have been declared relponfible for the conduel of their children, and matters for that of their fer vants; great rewards are offered to thofe who (hall arreft or kill any of the chiefs of the revolt ; in a word, all the Conflituted Authorities are charged to watch the conduit of the inhabitants, and to caufe the ill.difpofcd to be arrefted. The KING has appointed Captain-General of the province Don VtNTuRo CAP.o, a perfon diftinguithed by his talents, experience, and probity. BOULOGNE, Ocr. 3o.—A great number of Eng' lifh merchants are daily arriving at Boulogne, to renew their former commercial relations. Colonel WiLewis, an Englifh officer in the Imperi it fervice, fo well known by the attire part which he took in the campaigns in Italy and Swit. zerland, with the flotilla under his command, paired here, the day before yeflerday, with his fa mily, on his way to Paris. H.tcus, Ocr. zo.—The day before yefterday, Admiral de WINTSR treat(' a junction of his fqua dron with that of the Texel. The fhtps which he carried with him from the Meufe were : the Olden- Barncveld, the Brutus, the Neptune, the Revolu tion, the John de Wit, the Doggerfbank ; and the Juno, Phenix, and Flying-fills frigates. WELL, OCT. 28.—Letters from Vienna Rate, that during the two lafl campaigns of the war, the Houle Of Aufiria had in arms at the opening of them from 413 to sszo thlufand combatants, a military eflablifliment which greatly furpaires that of the preceding years. 'I he Imperial army in future will be compofed of 320,000 effeCtive men, of which 48,c00 will be cavalry, and s i,OOO artillery : all the Generals orfuperiorOfficers whofe difaffeCtion or incapacity was manifelled in the courfe of the Wt war, will fucceffively retire on penfions ; all the proprietorfhips of regiments will he reformed, and the economy relishing fro this meafure will ferve to increafe the pay of the' other Officers. The Archduke CHARLES has re folved to abolifh caning in the army : on the other hawd, the four regiments railed in the Ex-Vene tian States are organized ; the greater part of the foldiers who compote them are Sclavonians or Dalmatians. New meafures have been taken in the Pruffian Elates of Wefiphalia, to prevent the introduCtion of contraband Englifh goods, with which Upper Germany is inundated. The merchants of Ham burgh fearing that, in confequence of the Peace, the immenfe quantities of Englifh goods in their warehoufes will lore a great deal of their value, are endeavouring to difpore of them at a very low price, as raft as they can. BERLIN, OCT. 19.—Lord CARYSFORT, the Eng. lifh Ambatfador at our Court, is preparing to leave this city, to go to Peterfburgh, according to fome, but according to others to return to England ; it is not yet known who is to fucceed him. It has been for fome time reported that his place will be filled by Mr. WICKHAM, but it is believed that, in the prefent conjuncture, fome other perfon will be appoilited. It has been remarked here, with fa tisladion, that, fince the news of the pacification , Lord CARY sroar and General BrussioNvtect fee each other frequently, and behave to each ether with much relpeCt.

Ravisaiiv, Oc r. 25.—The Hereditary Prince of la Tour-Taxis arrived here yetterday from Tifaingen ; Coma METTIANICH is Rill in this city, but it is fuppofed he will loon lease it. We expo& here with the liveließ impatience the rati fication of the laf ecattufain of the Diet in regard to the mode of proceeding to the indemnities: fe• //era' of the States which compote the extraordi nary Deputation of the Empire, have already ap pointed Minifters.

The fettlements DERIARARA, ESSEWIC., :1 7 .1 BERB,CE, are on the Contin en t o f South A merica. to the Weft of SuRINAI. It was indeed the bdt policy of the Dutch to furrender them to us when they did. We have made them four times more rich and produdive than they were, having, a ; we before mentioned, laid out above nine millicn, fterling in improving and purchafinz. Britith merchants, however, took it for granted that, it France was fulrered to aggrandize hetfelf fu prodigiouliy in Europe, we litould, in ord,:t to preferve fome equilibrium, retain the eon. quered Settlements. One merchant in London has, accordingly, laid out go,oool. in Dcmarara. Knowing how eafily Britith negnei4tors make conceflions at a Peace, in order, if not to acquirz intionstity for tt,e pafi, at leaa, to obtain ficurity for Ike firturc, by diminifhing the objens of defence, our enemies may find their account in permitting us to improve their colonies. We have ftrong reafons for believing, that had we retained MALTA, a poll, which we !Fall nct foott rcgiin, we might have fecured a long conti. nuance of Peace. We lhould have commanded a trade to Turkey, and fecured the dominions of the Porte from the open machinations of the French, who would not have diflurbed the repofe of this country, well knowing that, from the breaking out of a War, our naval force at Malta could with perfeet fecurity cut them off at once from 41 connexion with the Levant. Some of our correil,ondents, recolle&ing the fchemes of France, in the year 1784., as Rated hy the Marquis de 13ouit.t.f, to deprive us of onr Eaft India poireffions, are of opinion that tht• French will foon avail thernielves of the pro digious acceffion of uncontroulable power, f: cured to them by the confequences of the War; and many are of opinion, that we have facrificed our eliftence to our finances ; and that we Mail loon be called upon to fight for the former again i the power, which we ourfelves have contributed to raife. It may, however, be obferved, that this reafor. ing can only be allowed its full force, by an ad. miffion'that the French Revolution it terminated. E 4 that it is, may be queflioned. There is, indeed. a prefent calm, but it dots not follow that the bur. ricane fcafon is over !
