In tho courfe of this year no prifoners have patted through Suabia. The Poilkal Joeraal, much efteemed here, fays, Come papers (peak of a great augmentation of a cer tain Power in the Eall ; but, it may be affirmed with certainty, that France, in a Convention of very late date, has guaranteed the integrity of the Tarkifh Empire.

NECTIUL tRADL Ore o" the meta important objeets 1 afore tbe.N, w Ad ninittration, is the mitre% of the trade of our enemies From the beginning of the French Inc ceiTes at the end of 1793, the lift Miniary com menced a feries of enncefarms to 'circle empty era oaf, till at laft the trade of France, Spain, and Hol. land, conveyed in American and Pruellan 'Orel', is as fecure as in time of perfett peace. A cobler, of Embdea, not worth a groat, is the oftencible owner of above a hundred wads, laden with the produce of the colonies of our foes. It may be affected with confidence, that not a angle vefel under a hoftile flag now crafts the line, or t r fes the Atlantic. The confequences to us mull be fatal. Our (cameo have now no other motive to enter into the Navy than that of patriotifm. Our fh:ps of war make no prize e as they did in former wars. They dare not now, if they have any prudence, detain a neutral weird, and they never meet a merchantman of the enemy. Tate only chance they have is that of picking up a private or national Chip of war. From the fame caufe, we, have now no privateers. The confequences to the enemy are inexprelEbly ad►antageous. Their privateers (warm in every fee, and capture our trading wails on our very coatis. Their feamen receive the bell reward of their daring prowefs. They are increafing every day ; every day they are joined by the adventurers of every country, who are allured by the certainty of prizes without blanks. Let them but pails the cap of Fortunatur they are fore of his purfe. They have found the lever, by which they are moving the world of our commerce. Their prifons are glutted with our lea men, and the prifoners taken in twenty viaories of Trafalgar are loon reitored in exchange fur the crews of our merchant (hips: The remedy is ample. Adopt the (yam of the GltillT WILLIAM PITT : refume, after a fair notice the fyllem of the war of 1756, and the trade of our enemies will loon be annihilated; they will no longer underfell us in the produce of their colonies in the Continental markets; and our (cameo will immedi ately receive the natural reward of their exertions. What will be the conduEt of the Neutral Powers ? If they are awake to their real interells, if they are not benumbed by the torpedo of French influence, they will fee the neceffity of the cafe, and acknowledge the jußice of our cattle. Their own lend file merchants a ill not (offer ; btu the immoral pradices of the nea r Itralizers will be laid bare to the eye of public equity. But if they fboold complain, if they threaten, if they fhould refit', it is better to face the danger, and am our rights, the privileges claimed and maintained by our unction, than to fee the pillars of our maritime greatnefs fall after one another. If we mutt fall, let us fall in the moR glorious ['niggle, that ever dignified and confecrated the efforts of a great nation; but let us not linger under the flow, but certain cf. fees of a confuming difeafe, battening us, without a hope of remedy, to the WI gafp of diffulution. The report tbat Mr. Prrr's funeral will take place with military honours, is without foundation ; nrr did Sir Isaac FISARD ever (tart any doubts as to the ceremonials—they will nearly microbic thole at the funeral of his illutirious father, the great Earl of CHaTNaN. - - - On Monday laft a Common Council of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgefes of Portfmouth, was held at the Guildhall, to nominate two Members to reprefent that Borough in Parliament, when Admiral Maya ma EE and the Honourable D.EIILSRINS were nominated, and unaniffioufly approved of.

The health of Lord Maxvizza continues daily declining, and, it i. faid, has now earned an alarming appearance. The Marquis of DOUGLAS, who, it is laid, goes to Peterfburgb, in the room of Lord GRANTILLI Live- MS Gowan, is n , t the only Scotch Nobleman who goes to the Continent in a diplomatic capacity—the Earl of LAUD/RDALS alio goes on a Continental mil• fion of great importance, which is at prefent in con templation. TI e vacancy in the Scotch Reprefentation in the Houle of Lords, occanoned by the additional title conferred on the Earl of EC LINTOWN, will be filled, in all probability, by the Earl of Bociram. His Lordfhip is extremely well known in the literary world, and is a brother of Lord Chancellor Easel,' E.
