produce of Malta, and that was all that could be defired. He did not think it necefrary that the firft order fhould be difcharged; it would be rather more proper to put the other Motion along with it on the Journals.—The Motion was, upon the Right Hon. Gentleman's fuggeihon, put thus— • l'hat an Account be laid before the Hnufe of the Revenues of Malta, previous to the year 1798." • Ordered. lIIVIA. Mr. SHERIDAN faid that it was his with to give every confident accommodation to any Gentleman in the Horde, but that undertianding the Morning ton India fhip was not yet art ived, though fo long (ince ex peeled, he could not content much longer yr defer his intended motion refpeaing certain tronfailions in the Carnatie I he therefore gave notice, that he would on Wednefdayfortnightbring forward that motion. COMMITTIE OV SUPPLY. The SIICRITARY at Watt exprelled a will that a Learned Gentleman on the other tide, who had given notice of a motion for this day, would have the goodnets to wave his right of priority, and let the Committee of Supply be firfl gone through. Dr. Last/mot acceded to this requell The SICRITAIL if at WAR then moved the Com mittee of Supply, and that the Army, Navy, and Ordnance Eno:mates on the Table Ihould be re ferred to the Paid Comnrittee.—Ordered. The Houfe in a Committee of Supply, Mr. Seaway moved, that 88,000 Seamen, in. eluding tB,OOO Marines, be granted for the ler. vice of the Navy, for one lunar month, from the 24th init. Mr. Rnasnn confidered this demand far beyond any thing which could be necelary, if it was really the intention of Miniflers to difarm. Mr. ScRILANT laid, it was impoffible yet to jgdgc ut the exalt number of men that might be receif.try, and it was thought advifable rather to vote mere than lefs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIEWER Rated, that every praCticable redu&lon was making in the public force—the Houfe would recollea, that the tail vote was for 130,000 feamen, therefore an afloat reduCtion of 43,000 men had been made within the tail three months, in the naval depart =mt. There were at prefent 36 (hit of the line at lea, and the with of the Admiralty was, only to have flume little time, to enable them to judge of the number of (hips and men, it might be expe dient to employ—Aherefore the probability was, that the cation would not be burthened with the fupport of the men mentioned in the motion even for the (hors period of a month.—The motionwas agreed to, as were the following:- 2514. C, I. for the ply of 88poo Men foss mood. /kr,. 26 7,acc L for thew viduah. set4.ocol for wear stud tear collhips. sa,oool for ordnance for fed ferric?. - - - - The SECIL TAIT at Walt repeated his former Bement as to the difficulty of yet exaaly after taining the amount of force proper to be retained during Peace, and therefore the neceffity of now preparing a vote on a fcale little lets extended than that on a former occafion. He, however, was happy to inform the Houk, that Government had already determined on a plan foe redticing he public force, ehich would be carried into cffea with all poffible expedition. The particulars of this pl.Ln he defcribed to be as follow :—The ca rah y to be reduced to 6o rank and file each troop, which will be a reduCtion of 6970 men, and a fav• ing of expence fir the remainder of the year of 296,0001. The Foot Guards to be reduced to 95 men in each company. Invalids, Waggoners, lice. to he reduced. The 28th Light Dragoons, five additional battalions of infantry, and feventeen regiments of fencible infantry in Great Britain to be disbanded. The total redultion at home would therefore be p o w men ; .the faring of expellee 563,4831. In the Mediterranean, 4994 men to be reduced; the laving of expence 71,2281. In the Well Indies, 6815 men ; the Caving of expellee 64,5431. The total regular and fencible corps reduced 43,22: men ; the Caving of expence 699,1211. The Militia in North and South Bri tain were already dilbanded, and progrefs was making to difband that of Ireland—the total re duflion of the public force would Coon anoint to zi,aco men, and the public burthens would be diminished by this no lets than 2.400,6211. He hlp:cl this arrangement would be fatisfaftory to the Houfe of the defire of Government to cecono mice. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving-- I hat it he the opinion of the Committee, &e. that 6:4761 men be granted far the fervice of Cheat Britain for one lunar month, 'tom the 24th liana : 23,269 men for _ _ _ 202,5 r 5 for Guards i.nd Ceram in Great Britain : 6130 for !gybed: t 96,4931. for the Pi including Malta, Calcutta, pi:nom, Cape of and New South Wales 63,9941. for Fendble Carps in Great Britain : 4116951. for Inch Feedbies in Ireland. General Watsote fuggeiled the propriety of keep;ng a number of difmounted cavalry, wi h v.t.w to economy. 'ch. SELETARY at WAR replied, that on a future occation the Hon. Gentleman wbuld•have full op. ponun'ty of Rating his opinion upon that fubjeft. Mr. Roasost objeaed to feveral of the refulu. !ions, contending that the etlimates were not lefs in proportion now than when the quartern loaf was eighteen-pence, and oats were three pounds per quarter. The SECRETARY at Wait recommended the Slon. Gentleman to read the refoluticms, and he would fee his millake. The motions were agreed to. Mr. Srests then moved, and it was ordered, that— 1333361. be granted fee the Ordnance of Great Britain ; and as.csol. far that of Ireland. The Report was ordered to be received to morrow•. SINSING FUND. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEVFIt moved the Urdu of the day, for the Houfe to refolve kcal into a Committee, upon the Afts of 178 6 and 1 79 2, refpecting the Sinking Fund. He Paid, he was delimits that this important fnbjea ihould be li btrally dirculled, and being of opinion that was not rabic in the comic of the prefent week, he beg- Zed leave to appoint the Committee fist this day lenale,l2L—Adjourned.

The proceedings in the Houle of Peers tall night will be found extremely interefling. Lord MINTO having cenfured the condo& of France in repel to the Italian Republic, Lord PILHANI admitted the truth of Lord Mtwro's remark in this relped, and Rated, that to blameable was the conduit of France in this particular, that Mini. tiers would even have been juftified in renewing the war, but influenced by motives which his Lord!hip did not explain, they had followed a pacific courfc. From this it is plain, however, that the late negociation had nearly been broken off. In the Commons the SICRETAP.T at WAR made a flatement of our military force, which agrees in almoft every particular with the account given in the STAR of yefterday. Mr. MANDEV I LER arrived yefterday from France with difpatches from Mr. MIRK V. our Charge d'Affaires at Paris, which are Paid to be of im portance. His arrival was altogether unlooked for; and he is expe6ted to return immAjately. This morning we received French journals of the 7th. The Definitive Treaty of Peace between England and the French Republic has been for mally communicated to the Legiflative Body ard the Tribunate by the Confuls. It is to be dif cuffed in the former on the aoth intlant. The Addrefs of the Firft Conful to the Legiflative Body on this occafion contains tome paffages worthy of notice : He hope: that the take of wiffimn and modera tion will held! tend to by the Helvetic Republic, and that the neighbouring power: will am be forced to inter fere to extiquifb troubles, the continuant of which might endanger their own trimpillity I In the Tribunate, C. Curio: moved, that tome fplendid mark of national gratitude fhould be given to the FIRST CONSUL, for his eminent ferviees. A mellige is to be fcnt to the Confervative Senate, the Legiilative Body, and the Government, on this fubjea. Pastas, Mar 7.—The FIRST CONSUL has ap. pointed the Abbe de la Toca-d'Acvsaisma Lau. CAGAIb to the billopric of Arras. The body of General Ds STAI NG, killed yellerday in a duel at the Bois de Boulogne, was this day interred with great funeral pomp. C. Barna, Conniellor of State, has been ap pointed by the FIRST CONSUL, Colonial Prefeil of Martinico ; C. Satterrvt, Charge d'Affaires of the Republic at Lucca, has been appointed Mi. nifler Plenipotentiary to Genoa; C. Rs; AIM has been appointed Miniller Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, to the circle of Lower Saxony ; and FARCH I SINI has been appointed Sub-commr (loner of Foreign Relations at Morocco. In the fitting of the Legiflative Body, Floreal (May 6, Prefidency of Lobjoi,) a Meffage was received from the Confuls flatting, that three Orators of Government would this day repair to the Legiflative Body to communicate a projea of Law. The Prefident having announced the ar rival of the three Orators, the Counfellors of State, RORDIRSR, Baum, and &masa, mounted the Tribune. They were charged by Government to communicate to the Legiflative body the Definitive Treaty of Peace between England and the French Republic, and to prefent the Projea of a Law re. fpeaing the promulgation of it. The direution on this Projea will take place on the 3oth of Flo real, (May so.) BRUIX having read the Articles of the Treaty, &RUSS read the following piece figned by the FIRST Cows cc Citizens Legiflators I—Government has laid be. fore you the Treaty which puts an end to the late difentions in Europe, and completes the grand work of Peace. The Republic combated for its independence—its independence is acknowledged tlic avowal of all Powers confecrates the rights it h:ld from nature, and the limits which it acquired by its viaories. Another Republic has been formed in the middle of it—has become penetrated with its principles, and has refumed at its fource the an• cient fpirit of the Gauls. Attached to France, by the remembrance of a common origin, by common inflitutions, and above all by the bond of benefits received, the Italian Republic bas afilimed its rank among the Powers as well as among our Allies e it will maintain itfelf there by its courage, and diainguith itfelf by its virtues. Batavia re liored to a unity of interens, emancipated from that double influence which tormented its Councils, which milled its polities, has rerouted its inde. Pedsiasite,ind Auden die Ratios *filch &lammed it the moR faithful guarantee of its eziftence and rights. The wifdom of its Adminiftration will preferve its fplendour, and the aßive ceconomy ef ' its Citizens will reftore to it its prorperity. The Helvetic Republic, acknowledged abroad, is fill agitated at home by failions, which difpute with each other for power. The Government, faithful to its principles, could not ezercife over an independent nation, any other influence than that of Counfel : its Couleel hitherto has been irt effeaual, but it fill hopes that the voice of wifdom and moderation will be heard, and that the powers bordering on Helvetia will not be forced to inter fere to fupprefs troubles, the continuation of which might threaten their own tranquillity. The Re. public, continent with its engagements and fidelity to Spain, was obliged to make every effort to pie. ferve the integrity of its territory. This duty it has difcharged throughout the whole courfe of the negotiation with all the energy which eircum fiances would permit. The Klan of Spate has acknowledged the fidelity of his allies, and has ge neroufly made that facrifice which they endeavour ed to prevent. By this conduel he acquires new rights to the attachment of France, and a facred title to the gratitude of Europe. The return of commerce already confoles his fates for the cala mities of the war, and an enlivening fpirit will foon convey to his van polliffions, new aaivity and new inauftry. Rome, Naples, and Etruria, are refored to repofe, to the arts and to peace. Lucca, under a conaitution which has united all minds and ez tinguifhed hatred, has recovered tranquillity and independence. Liguria, amidli the filence of party, has laid down the principles of its organifation ; and Genoa fees commerce and riches re-enter its ports. The Republic of the Seven Hands is lIM, like Helvetia, a prey to anarchy; but, in concert with France, the Emperor of Ruffia is to fend thither the troops he had at Naples, to carry with them the only benefits wanting to thefe happy countries, tranquillity, the reign of the laws, oblivion of ha tred and faElion. Thus Europe, from the one extremity to the other, fees tranquillity re‘ ived both by land and by lea ; and its happinefs repofing on the union of the great powers, and on the faith of treaties In America the known principles of the Govern ment have rellored the molt perfect fecurity to Martinique, Tobago, and St. Lucia. The empire of thole imprudent laws, which would have pro duced in thefe colanies devallation and death, is -no longer dreaded. Their only defire now is to unite themfelves to the Mother country ; and they lying back to it, with their confidence and attach. ment, a profperity at 'call equal to that which it hefore enjoyed. At Saint Domingo, great evils have taken place, and great misfortunes are to be repaired but the revolt is every day more and more repreffed. Toussatur, without places of arength, without treafure, and without an army, is now only a brigand, wandering from Morne to Morne with a few brigands like himfelf, whom our intrepid (harp (hooters are in purfuit of, and whom they mull loon come up with and deftroy. The peace is known at the Ifle of France and in India. The firft cares of the Government have already excited there a love of the Repub. lic, confidence in its laws,- and every hope of prof. perity. Many years will now elapfe for us without vidories, without triumphs, and without thofe fplendid negotiations which fettle the deftiny of States ; but the exiftence of nations, and in parti cular that of the Republic, muff be marked with other fucceffes. Induftry is every where awak ing, and svery where are the arts and commerce uniting to efface the misfortunes of war. Manu faCtures of every kind engage the attention of Government. The Government will difcharge this new talk with fuccefs, as hang as it shall be invefted with the opinion of the French people. The years about to elapfe w:11, it is true, be lets celebrated, but the happinefs of France will fn. creafe the chances of glory which it may have difdained. The Firit Conful (Signed) 11011AtARTE.

In the Tribunate,fitting of Floreal r 6 (May 6), after a communication of the fame kind from the Confuls, Simeon paid, " Every thing that can be Paid on this fubjeet has been exhaufted, but !ince Government has communicated to us in a formal manner the Treaty of Peace concluded with Great Britain, we ought, no doubt, to make a return equally formal.
