M A GisritAre.s—Love your King ; see in him the sa viourut Saxony. Had he been less faithful to his wor d, less a good ally, had he allowed himself to h a ve been carried away by the opinions of the Rus sians and Prussians, Saxony was lost:.

Bank Long Annuities 14 7-16tbsi It is now some weeks since we announced that a proposal for a negotiation for Peace had been made NaeoLisow, through the medium of Austria. This intelligence is confirmed. On Saturday, in part of our impression, we gave an abstract from a Moniker' of the 24th, announcing the consent of BoNAPARTE n a Congress at Prague, to be attended by Ministers m all the Belligerents. From ;Ile statement in the Moniteur (given in another column), it is evident that the business had been some time in train, and its an• nuncement at this time is a proof that some progress has already been made in the arrangements. The rumours which we noticed on Saturday, of an Pannstice having been concluded, must have origi nated from something that / ad transpire d d respecting t 11: projected Congress ; but NAPOLEON only agrees that the moment when the Congress shall be formed, an Arrni.tice shall put a stop to the effusion of hu t:ma blood. In the proposal that has thus been given to the world, the great, the constant, the unremitting en ty hostility of NAPOLEAN to this coantry is pr ,, trii'.er,t in his recurrence to the obsolete treaty of Utrcel—That is, what France and all Europe have not been able to wrest from us by force, he proposes to wriggle and extort from us by the chicane of ne pc;ation. The scheme is a deep one:—it is intended 13 produce, in its effects, a substitute for what he leaned :he Continental System. All the Powers of Eu rcp are to be pitted, on this question, against the ininests of England ; and all will be told that they are individually insulted and abused by the maritime predominance of Britain. England must, by the pro jzcti_d treaty, dismantle a LizT,e portion of her navy, ani be permitted to keep units a certain number of 41var in commission. 13y the Treaty of Utrecht, cocluded in 1713, Bri tin was tinder the humiliating necessity of admitting 17 `..e hrttorns to make free go,ids.. At this period FrAnv, Spain, Holland, Denmark, and Sweden, had po , v(rfill Navies, more numerous and betterappointed, l'lnt;gh never better officered than that of Great trit:un. In every subsequent war England added to her riatitime superiority ; and by every treaty since the ire'my of Utrecht to the Peace of Amiens, her rights in this respect have been acknowledged by other Psaers—not always openly, it is true, but tacitly, by that did not even refer to the Treaty of I:recht. In 1739 war was declared against Spain cipre!,iy for the maintenance of our maritime great ness : in the Peace of Aix la Chapelle, in 1750, after a war of ten years, nothing is said respect. Ing the right of search, though the war was com menced to deprive us of that right. The war of 1 756, which terminated in 1763, left our rights unim paired; and the last grand struggle by the Armed Neutrality, of which Russia was the head, produced the acknowledgment of our Rights by that Power. For what have we fought, bled, and conquered ? nor rights ruing out of our insular situation, founded nu our ow n p , )l.‘ er, aild necessary, not merely to our c ii 4 Lity and gie.ttnees, but to our exigence ab a free 31!ti imlipendent people ; for the latter must cease 'Ahen the .- :trier is sacrificed. NAPOLEON may re. iti: 7 (--a::d be may so far blind the Continental 3 Ners as to make it appear reasonable to them that England should sacrifice her maritime greatness to his ambition: but no. Ministers will ever be found in this country wiling to listen for a moment to such a proposition. Yesterday we received a continuation of the Fre,nch Papers to the 27th inclusive. They contain advises from the Grand Army to the 19th instant. Some fighting had taken place on the 12th and 15th, but without any material result. On the 16th the van guard of the Allied Army was posted at Bautzen, about 40 miles to the eastward of Dresden, where a great battle was expected to take place on the 19th or 20th. Indeed, there is a report that such an event had taken place, and that the FrenCh had gained ano ther victory. In another part of our Paper will'also be found' some extracts feom Hamburgh Papers, brought by the Heligoland Mail, which reached Town on Satur day night. In addition to these extracts, we have to mention a rumour that the Swedes, 8000 strong, had entered Hamburgh, and that the duties of the Rus sian General TrrizNaont4 having consequently ceased, he bad marched In the direction of Berlin. Since writing the above, we are informed from a most respectable quarter, that a great Battle did take place between Bautzen and Dresden, and that the French were defeated by the Allies with great slaugh ter.—When the Messenger, who arrived in town on Staurday, left Bautzen, both the EmperorAtexANDEß and the King of Paussta were there. It is correctly ascertained the Swedes have entered Hamburgh. and that immediately on their entrance they were called on to resist an attack of the enemy. By the private letters received from the French coast, we learn that the battle of Bautzen 'was one of the tryst sanguinary contests which has taken place since the commencement of the war, tar more bloody than that of Lutzen. The French say that they took prisoners, and that the Allies retreated to the Oder: but some of the letters state it to have been a drawn battle; and that, immediately after it, BONAPARTE sent a flag of truce to propose an armistice, which was rejected on the part of the Allies. They also state that the loss on both sides amounted to 40,000 men each, and that they still continued fighting the greater .part of the night of the 20th.— Prince SCHWARTZENBURGII, who has the command of the Bohemian Army, is stand to be in motion to join the Allies in the event of BONAPARTE refusing to agree to the terms proposed by Austria ; but this of course is merely rumour. WINDSOR, MAY 30.—Her MAJESTY, and Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took their morning ride yes terday to Frogmore. Princesses AUGUSTA and So- PRIA rode on horseback in the Forest, accompanied by Lady THYNNR, General GWYNNE, and Colonel TAYLOR. This day the Qum,/ and, the Royal Fa mily heard Divine worship privately in the Castle. In the evening the Royal party took tea at Frogmore. Yesterday his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE GENT give audience to the LORD CHANCELLOR, th• Duke of YottN, Earl of YARMOUTH, Sir I'. TYRWHIT, and Sir J. M'AIAtioN. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, a long Telegra phic communication was received at the Admiralty, from Deal. The direct conveyance to the Admiralty, however, is impeded by the height of the New Beth lem, in St. George's Fields, it was therefore brought by a Messenger from the station at West•square. Its contents were sent circular to the Cabinet Ministers in town. Mr. CHOKER took it to Viscount MELVILLE, at Wimbledon, and dined with his Lordship. . The marriage ceremony between Mr. WILLIAM DUNDAS and the daughter of Mr. STUART WoitTLEv is to sake place to-morrow. The ceremony is to be performed by the Lord Primate of Ireland, the Lady's uncle. It is said to be settled, that Lord WIIIT*ORTII is to go to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant. lie will be created an Earl on the occasion. The Irish Roman Catholics have met in Dublin, and passed the fo:lowing Resolution : " At a General Meeting of the Roman Catholic Prelates of Ireland. held this day, May 27, 1813, the Most Rev. Rica/tan . O'REILLY, D. D. President— " Resolved unanimously, That having seriously examined the copy of the bill now in its progress through Pat 'lament, purpor ting to provide for the removal of the Civil and Military disqua lifications under which his Majesty's Roman Carbolic subj cts labour, we feel ourselves bound to declare, that the Ecclesiastical Clauses or Securities therein contained, are utterly incompatible with the discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, and with the free exercise of our religion. " Resolved unanimously, That without idcurring the heavy guilt of schism, we cannot accede to such regulations ; nor can we dissemble our dismay and consterna.ion at the consequences which such regulations, if enforced, must necessarily produce." The above Rosolution was passed before the re jection of the Roman Catholic 13111 by the House of Commons was known in Dublin. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY 29.—HANcocK v. Hoses, Executor of HEALING.—This was an action against Defendant, as Executor, to recover a debt. Defendant pleaded " he had no assets," very dissi milar to the usual plea of " Plene Administrawit." Pluintiff proved that Defendant possessed himself of a note of his own, to TestatOr, for £7O, money bor rowed. Defendant contended that the making him Executor extinguished the debt :—but the Learned Judge, Sir A. M'DoxALD, decided, that unless there were assets more than would pay the creditors, the Executor must be chargeable with his own debt to his ,Testator, as assets. The Jury found a verdict for plain tiff —Mr.YEATs-s, of Gloucester, was the Attorney for plaintiff; and we take this opportunity of correcting an erroneous report of an action, Yeates v. Healing, published in our Paper of the 80:11 of January last, wherein Mr. YEATES was accused of conspiring to procure an authority to commence actions (with a view to his own profit oily) from several persons, the plaintiff among others; which stigma has been totally done away by this action, And we teel pleasure in now doing justice to Mr. YEATLS's character and conduct.

DOVER, M4T 29. • This morning, at eight o'clock a heavy firing corn menced on the French Coast, and continued for about one hour and a half; from there being a thick fog at the time, the opposite shore was not discernible, but from the sound of the firing, it appeared to be in the direction of Boulogne. It is said, this afternoon, by a fisherman who was well over towards the other side this morning, that before the firing commenced he saw a brig, which be took to be a man of war, stand ing in for the French shore, and he supposes the firing was at her, though he could not see either her Or the French shore for the tog which was then thick.
