',FORT OF THL CONSULS OF THE REPUBLIC, MADE DT THE MINISTER OF WAR. The Minifler of War has received fuel' impor tant details refpeding the Hofpitals of the Army of the Eall, that he deems it necelrary to lay he refult of them before 'the Chief Conful. In Eu rope, during war, the number of lick is to that of Soldiers as one to 12 ; and before the Revolution, during Peace, the proportion was the ilinie. Iu Egypt, it has during the months of aftober been as ato2B ; and during Nov. as tto 3e. In Europe, in the Military Hofpitals, the number of dead is to that of all the Fick during the month as r to 23. In Egypt, during the month of September, the proportion has been as t to 42; and during the month of Okftober, as t to 37. The excels of deaths during the latter month, is owing to the contagious malady which, though but little dd. feminated, was then begioaing to appear. We know that the number of lick is to the pepulation as t to so; and that the mortality per month is to the number of lick as t to 19. Thus the moll certain fats prove, that the climate of Egypt is even more falubrious to the French than their own Country, or than any 4:Ler Country in Er. rope. What then will be the cafe, when the Sci. ences and the Arts Shall have extended their blef fings thither, !hall have banithed all contagious ditlempers, and *hall have preferved the men from diforders of the eyes ? In the number of Invalids in the Hofpital, confidering the total number equal to unity, the difeafes will be as follow: Fevers 323, Wounded 187, Venereal Patients 369, Con tagious difeafes 7, Opthalmia Yon fee, Citi zen Conful, how falubrious this beautiful Country mull be, formerly the cradle of Science and the Arts, the granary of Rome, which will become the medium of Commerce between India and Eu. rope, and which is the theatre on which the con raze and the valour of the French have immor taMed therofelves.

Very extenlive bar racks are conftrutting at Nenhanoize, about four leagues from Semlin. RATISBOX, MARCH a3.—The Miniflers of the Ecclefiaftical Princes are ufing their utmoft ef forts to prevent the execution of the article of the treaty of peace concerning fecularizations. It ap pears that they have received from their Conftitu ents orders to unite, and to avert, by meafures taken in conjunition with each other, the ltorm which threatens them. The Elettor of Cologne, and the Bifhop of Wurtzburgh, feem defirous of putting themfelves at their head. It is in contem plation to make a formal proteft againft general fecularizations. We are affured they will lend de puties to Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, to demand that the Princes and States difpollifted on the left bank of the Rhine fhall be indemnified on the right bank by the Empire in general ; and that each State !hall contribute its quota towards the indem nification. It is alfo propofed to apply to the En. P E LOR of RUSSIA to intercede in their behalf, fince ' if the principle of general fecularization fhould be adopted, the Germanic Conftitution would be an nihilated. They propok particularly to reprefent to the Court of Vienna, that they have always been its fupport, and that by their fuppreffion it will lofe the greater part of its influence in the Empire. On the other hand, the Auftrian Government de mands that a deputation of two Members of the Diet !hall co-operate in the negociations relative to IndunuiUJS : it is detirous that the Elettors of Mentz and Saxony fhould be nominated to the Deputation: but the KING of PRUSSIA is equally defuous to co-operate, and to be a Member of the Deputat ion.

REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, RESPECTING THE ELIGI BILITY OF PERSONS IN HOLY ORDERS TO SIT IN THE HOUSE. The Seidl Committee appointed to examine the Journals of this Houle, and Records of Parlia ment, for Precedents relpeCting the Eligibility of Pei tons in Holy Orders to lit in this Houfe; and to report the fame to the Houfe ;—have proceeded in the examination direCted by the Houfe; and have agreed upon the following Report. In profecuting the Inquiry di reCted by the Houfe, your Committee have thought it right to dire a fearch to be made into all the Returns to Writs Axed for the Eleftion of Members to ferve in Par liament, from the eat-bell period in which they are extant, to the prefent time; with a view of afcer taiMng, from the additions to the names in Inch Returns, whether any of the Clergy were therein included. They find, from the refult of this fearch, that in the early periods, previous to the Bth Hen. IV. when the praetice of returning Citizens and BurgelTes by Indentures annexed to the Writ, firft prevailed, the names are generally returned without anx addition whatever, except in the inflance of Knights, and the general addition to cad. Return of " Citizens and Burgeftes." Your Committee find, however, that in five inftancer dining that period, particularly fpecified under the Third Head in the following part of this Report, the addition of " Clericus" appears to the names therein con tained. That from the Bth Henry IV. the addi tions arc more frequent and particular, containing often the addition, " Sadler, Mercer," and the like ; but none that ofClericus, except in the tingle inliance of John Robfon, who appears to be the perfon whole Return was declared void by the Houfe in die t Bth Jac. I. Under the uncertainty of the poffible applica tion of fome of there defcriptions to perfons in Holy Orders, your Committee have thought it fit to 7n fert all thofe that can poffibly admit of fuch a con. firation, though fully aware that many of them are well known to be Civilians only. In the examination of the Rolls and Journals of Parliament, your Committee have thought it thcir duty to lay before the Houfe fuch pafrages as came under their obfervation in a diligent fearch through the whole, as appeared to them likely to throw any light, by way of argument, as well as dire& Precedent, on the point in queftion. They have not thought it neceffary to add to their Report, any Statute printed by Authority, which might appear conneaed with this fubjea ; but finding that an Ad of the 16th Car. I. which was repealed by an AR of the 13th Car. 11. is not fo printed, they have fubjoined a copy of it from the original Roll, together with the proceedings in Parliament, which may be necelfary to explain the objea of it. The refult of the whole they have arranged un der the following Heads : I.—Summons of the Clergy to Parliament—par ticular inftances of the mode of exercifing their funaions thete—their privileges confequent to Inch attendance. ll.—Taxation of the Clergy. lII.—All filch inftances as could furnilh any prefumption, of individuals in Holy Orders having been returned as Members of the Houle of Com mons. Under this head, however, your Commit. tee think it right to remark, that though they have infcrted the cafe of Sir Thomas Haxey, Clerk, as having given rife to different opinions among wri ters upon this fubjee, they find, upon an examina tion direaed by them into the Returns, perfes2 and extant in the Tower, of the zoth year of Ric. 11. that no fuch name occurs among them—and that, as to the name of Chriftopher Parkins, returned as Dean of Carlifle, in the 39th and 43d Eliz. it ap pears by a Patent in the Rolls Chapel of the 3 8th Eliz. that the faid Deanery was granted to him with the following exprefs difpgntation : " And in regard that the lieen 'had admitted him into her Family, and been accuftomed to em ploy him in weighty concerns, the difpenfed with his not being in any facred or other Orden; and alio granted her Difpenfation to him, on account of his being married to a wife then living; and like. wife difpenfed with his refidenca on the Deanery."
