The large magnificent fquare is very convenient for the multitude of equipages, amounting to feveral hundreds, which are accul tomed to frequent this feaft ; and as the entertain ment is now on Terra Firma, there is not the leaft danger to be feared from the weaknefs of the ice. Fur feveral days it has rained fo much, that it almoi looks as it the Winter were altogether re tiring: a conftant South and Weft wind blows. Ft a. 3.—There will dill continue here a Mini fter from the Electorate of Hanover. Count MuMS zt 11, who, at Frefent fills this pott, has already hired a houfe by the year ; although it is laid that another Minitter will loon arrive in his place.

He has how. ever had his claim rejected, and the Princcfs has been adjudged to be the true proprietor of thole polfe lions. The Univerfity of Dorpat will, moll undoubted ly, be cat tied on, and has already colt the Nobili ty of Eilhonia and Livonia (thole of Courland have withdrawa themfelves) already mere than oc,ooo Rubles. Already tome learned Foreign ers, for example, liszet., of Gieiren, have been iavit.Al and have arrived. From the Univerlity of Molcow Dr. Settee's-axe, a fon of the celebrated Hifiorian in Gottingen, has been invited hither, with ca falary oftsco Rubles. On the part of the EMPEROR, the Military Academy ereelcd in Dorpat is particularly favoured and prote&ed.— Similar Military Schools are erefted over the w hol e Empire. The perrniffion which, under .ct I. had been completely taken away, to viiit f)r-ign Schools and Unieetlities, has been re- Pored in the fullell manner. The Wines of a Boolf-iler, which had been•formerly in like man n -r wholly annihilated, enjoys, in a great meafure, confiderable freedom.—ln the mean time, how-! ever, there is Rill much to do.

PRUSSIA. &RUN, Frs. s2.—The lizreditary Prince of Orange has obtained, in his polfeffions in South Praia, a gre.tt number of colonills from the do minions of Naffau, who are not only employed advantageouily in agriculture, but in malny other nicful profeffions. A yarn manufaaory of gloves and Rockings has been erected at ikenzewo, nine miles from Pokn, at which zoo perfons are em ployed. The Privy Counfellor, Yoimus, has the chief tiireainn of this manufa&ory, and of the financial affairs of the Prince in South Pnitlia. The Spanifh Ambaillidor reading here has al ready received his credential, al Ambafrador of the King of Etruria, and delivered them ,to the Department of Foreign 'Affairs. His Majeay, however, has not yet publicly acknowledged him its this his new dignity. We hear that in future the punifhment of banifhing to certain places out of the country will alfo be adopted in there States. GERMAN?". VIENNA, Fsa. t7.—Thi' day two couriers from Paris, and one from Amiens, arrived here. The latter has brought difpatches for the Englifh En voy here, Sir ARTHUR P/102T, which are fuppofed to be of confiderable confequence, as they gave occafion to a lOng conference immed iat ely after wards with Count COSIIITZ2I. 9 the. brai... for Foreign Affairs. • RATISBoN, FEL 21.—We have received here the unexpefted intelligence that the convocation of the Deputation of the Empire is again deferred. M. dc Hoot:. does not think of returning hither; he has even fent for his Lady, who remained here, in order to return to Vienna. C. BACHER, the French Mininer, has, it is Paid, declared to feve ral Members of the Diet, that nothing has been yet determined either in regard to the time or place of the convocation of the Deputation, and that it is not even certain whether an Imperial Pleni potentiary will be prefent. It appears that great changes have taken place in the negotiations re (peeling this objeCt. A divifion of French troops have already pene trated into the Valais. They are in cantonments near l'Aigle. Notice has been fent to the Admi niftrative Chamber of the Pays de Vaud. of the fpeccly arrival there of so,ooo troops of the fame nation. HOLI.AND. ROI" lIIDAM, MARCO. 5.—A great confirmation prevailed here a few days fence in the mercantile world, in confequence of the fcarcity of money.— Bufinefi was nearly at a Rand. Bills of exchange were not negotiable, nor was difcount to be obtain. ed ; fo greatly, was the public drained by the avi dity with which the fubfcription to the loan of 3o millions had been filled. The Government, how ever, having been informed of this critical embar. ratrment, immediately fupplied a refpeLable bank ing-hottfe of this city with two millions for the ac commodation of the merchants; fo that trade and confidence is again reflored. Amfterdam was in fimilar eircumflances, and received the like aflifiance : but it being found in -11 adequate, an exprefs was difpatched to the Hague 1 1 giving the Government to underhand, that if they delayed a moment in extending further Alf- tance, feveral refpethble hooks would be under the necellity of flopping payments; but as we have not heard of any difaller of this nature, it is con jetnred that the Government acceded to the ob. Jed of the requefl. The Government has again renewed the law which permits the tranfit of manufa.Lured goods, and under the tame refttidions and bonds as be , fore. It is thereby enacted, on the penalty of con fifcation, that the declaration on entering the &II port of this Republic mutt be made for tranfit. The law prohibiting the importation, for home confumption, of dyed or dreffed woollens and cloths, is to be firengthened by a penalty on the tale of thefe articles. The fhopkeepers, however, are to be allowed twelve months for the difpodof their Rocks ; after which it is conjeLured that they will be liable to domiciliary 'irks. This, if rigomufly carried into execution, will greatly injure this branch of commerce from Great Britain. But it is, however, fuppofed, that our manuCtdories, gone to decay as they are, will be incompetent to the demand, and thus operate in favour of the im portation of them, particularly after the peace is finally concluded. PORTUGAL. Lissow. Fsa. 18.—The Minifter of State, Don RODRI:UFZ DE SOUZA, continues to do all the good in his power to his country. The ad of this month the Guard of Police, commanded by Count Nov sow, a Frenchman, was prefented to the Prince Regent, and the fame night the nightly patroles commenced. Befides contributing to the fecurity of the city, this guard will add confider ably to the revenue, by preventing fmuggling in a great meafure. It is remarkable that the enemies of the Guard of Police °Ned to it as contrary to the Laws of the country. After the difgrace of the Marquis POMBA'. theft and atfatlinatton were hardly ever punifhed,i and were openly committed ' • and yet there abufes have been In long fanetioned by the negligence of Government, that it is now reck oned unconftitutional to oppofe them. A State arrived at Inch a degree of weaknefs mutt be ex tremely difficult to govern. ANTONIO us GAIN* Loso, the Governor who fo bafely gave up the fortrefs of jerumenha, had been condemned to death by the laws of war; but being recommended to the clemency of the Prince, his punilhment has been commuted into imprifon ment for life in the fortrefs of Benquella, on the co.sil of Africa. On the 16th of this month the Batavian (loci) Daphne, having on board Van GRAMfLL, the Minilkr Plenipotentiary from that Republic to our Court, arrived here in (even days from the Texel, aud five (rum Portfmouth. NE7NERLANDS. &IV? SF.I.‘, MARCH r.—According to the lafl letters from Arniciis, it appears to admit of little doubt, from tile arrangements made by the Pie nipotentiai ks there, that the negoci.itions for the Definitive Treaty will fill continue for fome time. Mr. WRIGHT, Secretary to Mr. Piccolos, the Englith Mininer, arrived this day from London, anti after delivering difpatches to Lord Coauww. its, continued his journey to Paris. An Englith Major has likewife arrived from Vienna, as a cou rier to the Englith Envoy at the Congrefs. The conferences of the Minillers at the Congrefs of Amiens have been intermitted for fome days, but were returned on the 25th ult. The road between Paris and Amiens is, as it were, covered with cou riers paling from one city to the other. PARLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, MARCH 8.

He further declared, that be should for ever remember, with the proudelt fatisfaaion, his having been one of that army, which had attained an 'achieve ment of fo much importance to the country, and which caR fo great a loam on the charader of his Majefty's arms. The let ter concluded with his Lordfhip's declaring that he should, at all times, be happy to bear his tellimony to the difcipline, con duet, courage, and hcrolfin of that army. CIVIL LIST.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPIAXER read a letter from Lord Hutchinfon, dated at Malta, the 18th Dec. dot, exprellive of his fatisfaetion at being honoured by receiving the Thaukb of the Houfe, voted on the zlith of May, t Bot , which he had communicated to the di( fcresit parties concerned. The Committee on the fecond Expiring Laws Bill was poft poned till Wednefday. The Greenland Whale Filhery Fill was read a third time, and a Claufe being added, on the motion of Lord Gaettamtvis, to enable perfons to make Affidavit of their Claims, inftead of per fonaliy attending, the Bill paired. Mr. lavi v, from the Commilficmers of the Cuitoms, per. Tented an Account of the Imports and exports to and from the United states of America, in Britt& and Foreign flips, which was order, d to lie on the Table, and to be printed.

The Ar C moved a Clink in the Commit tees for the relief of Printery who printed Pleadings and other Law Proceedings without affithig their names and places of abode. The Houk Wonted, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. T. JoNes gave notice, that be Diould to-morrow bring forward a Motion relative to the Income Tax. He bad not po tively made up big mind whether be ihould move for a Cum. mince or for the produdtion of certain Papers. DENCOOLEN. Mr. WM. D u DAS moved the Order of the Day for the Haute to refolve itfelf into a Committee on the Bencoolen Bill. The Houfe having refulved Will' into a Com mittee, SIT WILLIAM PULTEN EY objeaed to that part of the Bill by which the Servants of the Comp.tny, and the Senior and Junior Merchants, transferred from Bencoolen, were to loft five years rank, be caufe he faid it might happen that thofe Servants, and the Senior and Junior Merchants, might there by take rank above a number of others of the fame deicription at Madras. The law had eflablithed, that the Company's Servants at Madras thou'd rife by feniority; filch a provillon as the prefent would tend to alter that law, and therefore he could not content to it. It was his opinion, that the Com pany's Servants, and the Senior and Junior Mer chants who were to be transferred from Bencoolen, fhould be placed at the bottom of the refpeeive lids for tilos at Madras, and that they Ihould have an cption either to go to Madras upon that condi tion, or retire upon full pay. Mr. WALLACE thought that the Bill, as it flood, would anfwer the objea of the Hon. Baronet bet ter than thy amendment, as by the former a Se nior Merchant, loling five years rank, might in confequence of that become a Junior Merchant at Madras, but by the amendment he Would be dill a Senior Merchant, and take place of all the Junior Merchants. Colonel WOOD thought it was a peculiar hard (hip upon the Company's fervants at Bencoolen to be transferred to Madras, and to be deprived in confequence of five or fix years rank. He thought it had better be left to the Court of Dire,9ors to make fuch regulations relative to this fubjett as they (honkd deem expedient ; and that it did not require the interference of Parliament. Mr. Jousrrour faid, he could nut fee any in. juice arifing out of the prefent meafure towards the Company's fervants at Bencoolen, but a hard 'hip on thole at Madras. The law had provided again(' fuperceflion among(' the Company's fer vants at Madras, but this Bill went to alter that law, and to interfere with thole profpeets which they were jufily entitled to entertain. He would not however fay more upon that fubjed at the pre f.= moment, as he did not with to interrupt the bulinefs of the Committee, and as a future Rage of the Bill would be the proper time to difcufs its principle. Mr. WM. DUNDAS faid, it could not be con. tended that the Company's fit rants at Ikatoolen were, after all their exertions, to be left withont provhin. It was contended, that by transf e rli u g ' them to Madras, the profpeCts of the Company's fervants there would be injured, as the number of candidates would be increafed, but it rho! Ild be recolleted that only twelve perfons were to be transferred, and that an act:o;on of territory much greater in proportion had been acquired by the Eafl India Company, and from which their lirvants at Madras had derived great advantage add to this, that the Court of Diredors had noti fied their intention of bringing this meafure before Parliament, to their fervants at Madras, twelve months ago. Colonel Wool, again adverted to the hardillip which he conceived would refult to the ConipAn ) !.• fervants at Bencoolen. Mr. Jolt arrow s Paid, that in anfwer to what had been urged by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. William Dundas) relative to the acceffion of tent . tory acquired by the Company, he thought it nc ceffary to obferve, that it had been in contempla tion to unite the Prefidencies of Bombay and Ma. drag, in which cafe, the territory would he by no means difpmportioned to the number of the Com pany's fervants, who would then be upon the lifts of thole united Prefidencies. As to the advantages derived by the Company's fervent, from this ac eeflion of territory, he thought they ought to be fairly balanced againff the difadvantages they had formerly fuffered, particularly when Ryder Ally ravaged the Carnatic. Mr. WA LLA C E thought thereconld be Ito poflible objection, on the part of the Company's let yams at Madras, to the prefent meafiire, even though the Prefidencies of Bombay and Madras were united, nor could any injuftice Tenth to them. As to the Company's fervants at Bencoolen, there could be no hardfhip to them, as they had their option, either to retire and receive their pay, or to go to Madras upon the propofed conditions. Colonel WOOD laid he only adverted :o the h trd (hips of the fervants at Bencoolen in cak they were to be compelled to go to Madras and to Life five years rank. Mr. WALLACE explained. Sir WILLIAM PuLTiasY then moved an amend ment, according to the opinion he had before de livered, which was agreed to. The Houle having returned, the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. ALIEDGED INSOLVENCY OF GOVF.INDIENT. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHEtty k Cad, that in conk:ref:cc of uhat had palled in the Houfe ' previous to the recefs, he fhould on Monday next move for the appointment of a Committee, to take into confederation the hate of the Corn Trade be tween Ireland and Great Britain. He added, that perforial confiderations, as to himfelf, and alto as to his Right Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Irifh Exchequer, had prevented the fobjett from hieing before now fubmitted to the Houfe. He, however, fhould certainly bring it - forward on Monday, if, as there was every reason to expetl, his Right Hon. Friend Mould be able to attend in his place. He added, that as he was now upon his legs, he fhould advert to a converfation which had pallid iu the Houfe on a former day. He fhould have adverted to it the day fucceeding that on which it took plate, had he not entered the Houle after the difeuffion on the American Treaty had commenced. It will, laid the Right Hun. I Premier, be recollaled, and I trua I (hall be par doned for recurring to what pallid in the comic of a debate on a former day, that an Hon. Gen tleman, whom I do not at prefent fee in his feat, &flirted that Government was in a hate of infol vcncy, and that its acceptances had been rcfufcd payment. This affertion, made as it was with reference to the plural number, was found, upon enquiry, to ap ply to no more than the acceptance at one office of a bill, the amount of which was 191. 7s. 4d. I am, therefore, entitled to Pity, that the Hon Gen tleman who made the charge, and who thought himfelf juflified in bringing it forward, had no other authority for fo doing than the folitary in fiance to which I have alluded. I am, however, no ways difpofed to contradie the alba tion that in (lances have frequently occurred, and in the pre fent cafe did occur, in which a perfon prefenting a bill accepted at a particular o ffi ce, has been lent away without the money: fuch inflances are not pe culiar to the office in queflion, for I underhand from perfons in this and other offices under Government, that they never have been held to a contrary prac tice. But I defy the Hon. Gentleman to produce any one inftance where the Treafury, for it is there the credit of the country reticles, was preffed for money to difcharge a public demand ; or where, immediately upon its being known that money was wanted to difcharge a bill, there was any delay in advancing it. It has been an object of Govern• ment, and certainly a wife and prudent one, to pre vent large fums from being accumulated in its infe rior offices; but there neverwas an inhance in which it was Rated money was required, that an advance was not inflantly made. The very circum fiance, `though I do not mean to fay I fhould with it too frequently to occur, is fa far from being a proof of the infolvency of Government, that it is quite the reverie. If it was a circumaance that happened generally, it would be generally known. Now I appeal to every banker in this Hhfe, and'in the City, to fay whether they do not covet tbefe kind at bjlls from their knowledge of the facility with which they can neigociate fuch fecurities, either for themfelves or their cuflomers, and the abfolute certainty of their payment ? There is only one circumflance further I with to mention, and that is, the obfervation of the Hon. Gentleman, that he confidered it as a great aggravation of the conduit of Government that payment of the bill had been refuted to a perfon in indigent circumflances ; all I know is, that the bill was tendered by one of the molt opulent Bankers in the city of London. have no reason to believe it was not his oun pro perty ; I therefore with to know what foundation there was for hating it to have been the property of another ?" ME. JAMES MARTIN.-" I do not with to take any part in the bufinefs. With regard to the fmall nefs of the turn, I confider, whether it 11::d been only a tenth part of the amount, or an hunched times as much, the difference would have been :n material. The office laid to the perfou %Ow pit-
