It wants a new bond, a snore power ful and a d one, to attach the monarch whore towering protedion is in chore days the firs fecurity of its independence and tapofe. Thus then is every look and every with diretled to the young Prince , who lately travelled through Holland, (Louis, who seas Commander in Chief of the French Army of Obfervation in Brabant) after having, by his ♦igi lance and altivity, preferved it againft the meditated invalion of the Ruiner's, the Swedes, and the Eng- Eat. It is probable that in a few days the changes aboat to be made in that coentry will be known. May is Paid that General Sebaftiani is ap- pointed Ambaffador to the Ottoman Porte. M.

Admiral Verheul's Aide-de-Camp has ar rived here with very imporant difpatches from the Batavian Government. The Batavian Deputation has had frefh conferences with the Mininer for Foreign Affairs, and we have no doubt but the late of Holland will Coon be decided.

Upon this determination, the advance or the retreat of the French troops, Hill in Bavaria, will folely depend.

On our admit ion to the Houk, their Lordihim were engaged in forwarding t l.e Ms upon the Table, which were chiefly primes.

The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with the Noble Earl, that the fettle of th- Houfe, on an affair of the kind, fhou)d be publicly known, and clearly expreffed. Such an idea as his Friend alluded to, had been entertained, as appeared from a paper put into his hand by ne of the Reporters. It appear. ed to him, however, to be contrary to the fenfe and intention of the Houle, in framing the order; and his opinion was, which he thought Should be gene rally known, that all publications of the trial were arialy prohibited, until after the Hoofs Should deliver its final judgment. The Earl of ROSSLYN entirely concurred in the' fentiment expreffed by his Noble Friend on /be Woolfack, and farther, he thought, an cosprefs order thould be made upon the occafion, in order that all doubts upon the point may be let at relit.
