The Speech indeed was compofed with much caution : nothing is laid in it refpeEting the nature of the articles of the Preliminary Treaty, but only that they fhall be laid before Parliament; and the Addrefs is drawn up with equal care, and is not, as has ufually been the cafe, a mere echo of the fpeech. Peace, in the abßraEl, is fo ohvioufly a good, that when called on in a general way to re. juice in its refloration, it is not eafy to find ground on which a man can place himfelf who wifhes to deprecate it. It is therefore not furpi ifing in this view that all Thould concur in the Addrefs, but the motives fur concurrence may be as various as the views of the different parties ; and we believe, had the v hole nation as a body been affembled to approve or rejal the Addrefs, as drawn, its vote would have been the fame as that of the two Houfes, but it would be difficult to believe that all would have approved on the fame grounds . The public feem now pretty generally to under Rand how much we have been kncfitrdby the war, By the fituation to which we have been reduced by a Peace, after nine years of hofillities, let re fleeting minds judge what it might have become if alone, unfuPported by a fingle Ally, we had carried on hoflilities for only a year or two more ! Our error has been that of delaying too long to make Peace ; for no perfon doubts, that at any former period of the war better terms might have been obtained—it would therefore have been rejed ing the evidence of fat, to have expeeted them to be improved by a Rill greater delay. We ought how ever to rejoice, that our affairs were under the ma• nagemeut of a braves-Loramin ter; for if, with the advantages of fati.s talent:, things have turned out fo ill, what would they have been under the guidance of men who can boall no fuclt and whom the eulogills of the former with high triumph, (and with much &suh ne doubt) ufed to brand with the epithets—Jacobins,and Republican levellers? It would be folly to keep repining at that fate which has compelled the country, in fpite of its wife trefterour iraile, and rnimpai)ed refoureer, to rejoice at a Peace which allows France to keep and England to give up every thing.— This is, in fad, the charaeler of the Peace—to France it was advantageous, it was glorious. It has guaranteed to the Republic, in ten years more, than has been gained by the collated ambition of fourteen centuries of Monarchs. England has got peace, but has the lowered the pride, or removed the Influence of her rival ? Is England relatively as great as the once . was? The kale of the enemy has rifen, and in this there is much caufe for for tow, much room for cenfure, of the mcafures by which it was produced. If the fatal policy of the war had not left us without a genuine objeft, what fbotild have bees laid of fo unequal a peace, for unequal it is when one gets all and the other cedes all ! If this be called an honourable peace, may it not be afked, where is the proof ? is it in conceding every thing to the claims and the interefts ofa Republic which we have fo long laboured ro overthrow ? If it be raid that an honourable peace has been obtained by the atchievements of our armies, it may be an fwered, our arms have obtained glory, and nothing more. We may ark, might not the fame peace have been obtained had our troops been number ing or in their barracks ? Might not the Treaty of El Arifch have given us Egypt? And what is the advntage of our colonial acquifitions ? They were given back without equivalents—then what have they contributed to Peace ? Their Mali srirs, and the Princeffes Eliza• )ETU, MARY, SOPHIA, and At lf LIA, came ID town )cat rday from Kew to the (teen's-Houfe. At half pall two his Maiisry, after giving au dience to the Cabinet MinitEeis, wcut in Itatc to the lionfe of Peers. ' The Kota was attended by the Earl of Wits cm , as Lord in Waiting, and the Earl of CMlrgrEtrtiLn, as Muller of the Horfe. In the Mailer of the Horfe's chariot were the Marquis of SAL!SIVRY and Vifcount S . Before twelve o'clock, the Park was crouded with pcnple, in cxpc&ation offering his Majawry go to open the United Parliament. This was an tour fooner ti. nt tti;sal. A report had been circu lated on 0:e Am': day, in confecpsence of the Oats toad: bzing or,: --et) at the Queen's-linuf e as ugly as s s th.,; the (tilts fct of croud was imutenfe, but no fymptom of diforder appeared. All ranks of people rejoiced at the change of fcene from war to peace, The KING left the Queen's-Houfe precifely at twenty mi nutes after two o'clock, and reached Palace-yard at twenty minutes before three. His MAJESTY, on alighting, entered into converfation with the Lord Chancellor ELDON, and Lord Gwyout, at the door of the Houle of Lords. The KING looked extremely well, and was in good fpirits, with an uninterruptet fmile on his countenance. --It was five minutes after three before his MA JESTY came out of the Houfe, which circumftance is remarkable, from his not having (laid more than 15 or 16 minutes in the Houle of Lords, for the lafi feven years. The PRINCE of WALES' attended his Mai E STY to the door of the coach ; the Earl of CHESTERFIELD Went into it with the KING. His MAJESTY was received by the popu-' lace with repeated huzzas on entering and return ing from the Houfe of Lords. The croud was not, fo great in Palace-yard as at the Houfe-Guards and in the Park, owing, no doubt, to the number of peace officers there Rationed. Mr. FORD was prefent at the head of the Bow-greet patrole, and was honoured by the notice of his MAJESTY, the PRINCE of WALES, and the Royal Dukes, who all appeared in perk& health and good humour. All the windows in Parliament -greet and Pa lace-Yard were crouded with beautiful and ele gantly dreffed women, whole fmiles added much to the pomp and pageantry of the fcene. A fenfe of due decorum appeared to pervade every rank ; and, we are happy to add, that the day was not attended by any ferious accidents. The KING was attired in his ufual drefs—fcarlet and gold. The Qnsr; and PRINCESSES partook of an ele gant dejeune at the Countefs of HARRINGTON'S, where the Royal Party faw the proceffion ; her MA) EST Y had the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Of WALES on her knee the whole time, who appeared highly pleafed with the fight. At four o'clock the KING and QUEEN let off in their chaife from St. James's Palace to Kew, ac companied by their little grand-daughter, PRIN• LESS CHARLOTTE Of WALES. The Houfe of Lords did not yeflercky proceed to bulineCs till long after the Houfe of Commons. This delay was occafioned by the want of the ad drefs, which had been fent to Lord BOLTON, and delivered to one of his fervants, who took it home! Six of the Princes were yefterday prefent in the Houfe of Peers to hear his Majefly's Speech, the five who are Members of the Route r and Prince ADOLPHUS. The fight was very gratifying to every loyal bolum, and fuch as certainly no other country in Europe could furnifh, a Sovereign and Father fupportcd on his Throne by fix Sons, all of them handfome and elegant men. The benches were, betides, crowded with beautiful and fafhion able women of rank, who came to fee the ceremony. The debate on the Preliminaries is now fixed for Tnefday. The Addrefs in approbation of them, it is expeeted, will be moved in the Upper Houfe by Lord Rote sty, and feconded by the Earl of Limtsticx. In the Houfe of Commons by Lord FRANCIS OSBORNE, and feconded by Mr. LEE, Member for Dungarvan. It is laid that it was in tended the latter fhould have feconded the Ad drefs yellerday,,but he did not arrive in time. Mr. GRAY was in his place in the Haufe of Commons 1311 night. Mr. WHITBRFAD was there likcwire. The fcarcity of poll horfes was fo great on the roads to London yeiterday and the day before, in confequence of all the Members of Parliament corn ing to town at once, that many of them were un- able to proceed, and could not reach town in time. The Earl of DERBY travelled to town this week in the true Rile of an Engin Nobleman. In the fill carriage were himfelf and Lady DERBY, in the next the children, and in the laf, attendants ; engaging, in all, with fervauts on horfeback, four teen or fifteen horfes. Lord Lit FORD, who dillinguiflied himfelf yef terday in the Houle of Peers, by his nimated and well-delivered Speech in fupport of the Addrefs, is a very young man, and has acceded to his title on the demife of his father, the late Lord, formerly TROM•3 Powys, Efq. Member for Northamp tonfhire. The STADTHOLDEt has, we underhand, fent an official letter to Lord HAWK ESBUILY, to be laid be fore his Mei tsr r, previous to the departure of his Serene Highnefs for the Continent ; whither he is, no doubt, called by the urgent interefts of his illuf trious houfe ; interefls, which, alas ! our guaran tee, in 1797, has proved infufficient to protell. Nothing can exceed the diligence and pains with which Mr. Secretary Assayr is inveftigating the details of the feveral offices in his department in Ireland, with a view of corretcting any abufes which may be found to have exifted there. Betides the Peace between France and Ruffia, a treaty between Spain and the Ruffian Empire was concluded at Paris on the 4th of Oftober by M. MAR KOFF and the Chevalier Azimut. The Emperor of Russia has given orders, that the penfien which LALANDE, the Aftronomer, had from the Academy of Peter burgh, not only Gould be paid in future, but that all the arrears contras. ed lance the French Revolution (hall be difcharged. The joy produced in other parts by the Peace, lively as it is every where, falls far (port of the cc acy which is felt in the French maritime towns. Scarcely is there a rattily in any of them that has not foam individuals belonging to it prifoners in England. The fubiarb of th e - Pollet alone, in the town of Dieppe, expels to fee no leis than fix hundred citizens reftored to its bofom. On the night that intelligence was received of the happy event which is to be followed by this bleiling, the friends of thefe poor captives milled into the fireets, embraced each other, and wept with excels of joy. A multitude of fires were in an intlant formed in the ftreets, as on the Feaß of St. John, and crowds of both fares danced around them, with a gaiety that even the rain, which fell heavily, could cot teprcre, MAtE•LANE, OCT. 30.

DUNGENESS-ROAD, OCT. 18.•••• I have jet. wit. neffed a fcenc of villainy which I have often heard al, but never before faw pratlifed, and which calls loudly for redrefs ; the circumftances are briefly there :—Laft evening the wind at about W. S. W. I blew extremely hard, fo as to oblige feveral flips of war to bear up and run for this Roadfted.— This morning a foreigner was boarded off the Light-houfe by one of the boats, commonly called or known by the name of Hovelers, who pretend to be Pilots, and undertake to bring (hips into fafe anchorage. The above vefTel, a brig, (hut of what Nation I know no., as the did not thew her colours,) ran in under her fore-fail, and came to in the hawfe of a Hoop of war ; as the fore. fail was not attempted to be furled, but lay a-back, the brig of courfe was driving, and (he let go another anchor, which loon brought her up the lay in that pofition in a good clear birth, riding very well by one anchor and cable, as the other cable was quite flack, for nearly three hours, and fhe might ,have /ode ever fince ; but to my I great aflonilhment thi cables are now both cut, the Jibb hoifled, and the brig is, making the bell of her way towards Dover or Ramfgate, where I fup. pole (if fhe is infured) you have heard of her ar rival, but probably not till fhe has received more damage by running againft the Pier-head, or fame thing Imilar, which will occafion her to be caulk ed, repaired, &c. &c.—So much for the f r auds pradifed againft Underwriters !

Yefterday t+ prifoners were tried at the Old Bailey, one of whom was capitally convieted, vi z . Thomas Scott Smith, who occupied the attention of the public Tome time ago, from having officiat ed as a Clergyman in the Parifh Church of St. Martin's in the Fields, was tried for uttering as true, knowing it to be forged, a fat& and counter feit note of ten pounds, purporting to be the order of Mr. Robert Smith, and payable at Meffrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's, with intent to defraud Mr. Capper, of the Hu ngerford Coffee-houfe, who Rated that the prifoner at the bar had frequently vifited his honfe, and came one Sunday in his canonicals, when the prifoner offered his waiter • a ten-pound note for change, which was brought to him, and he gave five pounds, flying the prifoner might have the remainder when he called for it. In the interim he offered the note at the Banker's for pa y . ment, but, to his great allonifhment, be was in formed it was a forged note. He Paid, when be found Smith, the prifoner, be charged him with the forgery, and requefted to know his place of re fidoce ? The prifoner told him that he lodged in Frederick• Place, Hampßead-road ; that he would go home with him, and convince hint of his inno cence by a letter which he had received from hi s father, who was a refpeaable man, and refident at Weymouth; and that the Profecutor• ibould nut loft any thing by him. On their arrival at Fre derick-Place, the prifoner took a letter out of a box, and Paid it related to his family; he therefore would not 'lifer the Profecutor to read it, as the contents did not concern him ; hut if he, the Profecutor, would let the bufinefs reR till Monday, he would accompany him to the Banker's, and give him every fatisfaetion. In the mean time the Profecutor wrote to his father at Weymouth, but received no anfwer ; he then went to Bow-fireet, and a warrant was grant ed to apprehend the prifoner. The fecond witnefs is a Clerk to Meffrs. Bloxam and Co. He (aid be had Come knowledge of the prifoner ; that he was a rider to his father, who was a leather-dealer in Crooked-lane. The Judge afked this witnefs whether the pri. Toner had ever been a member of either of the Uni verfities, or bad taken orders The witnefs faid he never had heard of it ; but if fuch a circumilance had taken place, he mua have been acquainted with it. Mr. Capper's waiters fiipported his ilatement.— iThe first faid he received the note from the pri. foner, and gave it to his mailer, and that it wit payable at Meas. Smith's, Payne, and Smith ; the other waiter Rated, that his mailer gave hirer five pounds, which sum he gave to the prifoner. The Para Clerk of St. Martin's was then called: Ibis evidence only west to prove that the pr ifoner had performed clerical duty,and was under Rood to be a Clergyman before this forgery was difco vered. The prifoner, in his defence, faid, be bad not the molt dinant intention to defraud the Profccutor ; that if he had meant to aft the part of q diflioneft man he had an opportunity to make his escape, which be certainly would have done had he been guilty of the forgery laid to his charge ; that he never avoided the Profecutor, but, on the contrary, had given him feveral meetings : resting his cafe therefore on his upright intentions, he would leave it to the candour of his Judge and Jury. The Learned Jndge informed the Jury that the law was very clear in the cafe before them. His Lordship faid, if a note was drawn on any un known perfon, and the publifher or writer of it did it with an intention to defraud, it was as much a forgery as if the perfon on whom it was drawn was in exiftence. His Lordfhip made an able ad drefs to the Jury, after which the prifoner was found—Guiky. The prifoner took notes the whole of his trial, and appeared very compofed. Nine were convided of felony, viz. 7oh.e Ler, for ftealing nine pounds of raw ed. fee, the property of Ealanfon and others. Thomas Hollis, for haling three bufbels of horfe provender, the property of W. Baugh. William Skinner, for felonioufly receiving the fame, knowing it to be Rolen.
