1 happy Con flitntion, tinder which we have fo long enjoyed the hidings of civil liberty. This plot was rendered Rill more foul, by the proje& of an attack upon the faced perfon of his Majefty. For this . l eiperate confpiracy, the traitors had juftly fuffered. It was unneceffary for him to expatiate on the virtues of the Sovereign ; they far exceeded every commendation which it was in his power to bellow ; every at of his government was marked by unexampled mildnefs. His Lordfhip, after enlarging on thefe points, concluded by moving, That an humble Addrefs be prefented to his Ma jelly, to congratulate him on his providential efcape from this fool confpiracy; to exprefs their abhor. rence of the horrid plot againft his perfon and go. vernment ; and to defcribe their firm attachment to our prefent happy conflitution ; as well as to the perfon and family of his Majefty. Lord BoyLE rofe to fecond this Motion. His Lordfhip Paid he could not fecond a motion of that nature without exprefling in the ftrongeft terms his deteflation of fuch atrocious and fangninary defigns. He only wifhed to add an expreffion of ' a want, that the peace of his Majelly's reign might continue uninterrupted, and that he might long remain the father of his people. The Motion was agreed to Non. Con. A Committee was then appointed, confining of Lord Eufton, Lord Boyle, the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer ' Lord Hawkefbury, the Secretary at War, and the Law Officers, who withdrew to prepare the Addrefs. Mr. Lill moved for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal an AIE of the late frith Parliament. which regulates the proceedings, and to affimilate the proceedings of the Courts of King's Bench, Com mon Pleas, and Exchequer, to thole of England, in the compelling of Defendants to appear to perfonal ations, and the prevention of vexatious arrefts. The CHANCELLOR of the Excnacursa kid, he did not rife to oppofe the motion of his Honoura ble Friend ; for certainly he confidered it a very deferable objet that we fhould endeavour to affimi late the laws of that country with thofe eftablifhed here as much as poffible. He wilbed only to ob. terve to the Houle that the fituation of a Noble Friend and Colleague of his (Lord Pelham) de. ferved confederation. If, however. the regulations which by the Bill it would be necellary to introduce were adopted, it was but fair that foam compen fation fliould be made for thofe who fhould fuller in confequence of the new arrangements which might take place. In making this compcnfation to his Noble Friend, the Houle and the country would merely be doing an aa of jutice. At this moment his Noble Friend confidered the profits *riling from a patent place as pro tasty a part of his falary of Secretary of State, and if this office was, by the operation of the bill, to be abolifbed, it was nothing more than an aa of common juftice that be fhould have a fair compcnfation. After a few words of explanation from Mr. Lee, a Committee was appointed, confining of Mr. Lee , - the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. J. C Beret ford, the Attorney General of Ireland. and other : Law Officers, to prepare and bring in the fame. The Houle then refolved into a Committee on the Mutiny Bill. The SICESTARY at WAR rote, in purfuance of a notice he had given on a former day, to move feveral Amendments. The moll impottant of them was to check the progrefs of the criminal Femalee of defertion, which on an average amount ed to nearly one-fourth of the forces railed. This, in addition to other ferious inconveniencies, was a very heavy expence td the country. As the law now flood, Courts Martial exercifed the power of punifhing with death, or infliaing corporal punifh ment. He meant to move, That in cafes where men were fent from places abroad to be tried by General Courts Martial, they beinvened with the power of tranfpwtation, which at prefent rafts only with his Majelly. He alone could commute it foe the punifkment of death. The other Amendments were of a fubordinate kind. He. wifhed to move that the penalty impof til on perfons for harbouring definers from the regulars be increafed to tool. or fix months int pnfonment, and from the militia to ad. He fitould propofe alto a clank, enalling that in criminal cafes. when a foldier is convieted of a felony, he Should forfeit whatever pay might then be due.— lie alto adverted to a claufe for regulating the dif tanee that carts or waggons impreffed for the ter. vice Thould be Obliged to go per day, and affixing a rate of payment. Ano th er claufe was of grew ' importance—providing a fnmmary procefs for the punifhmeht of perfons purchafing bay or oats bought for the ufe of the army, which at prefent requires more tedious legal proceeding.

Generals VlLLavra and OAAss are not only good Officers, but agreeable men. The Officers here have every reafon to be fatisfied with their prefent litigation. The evacuation of this ifland is not expelled. Sir ALBIAMDBIL BALL, the Civil Commiffary, has received orders to raife soon Maltefe troops, who are to be kept, paid and clothed by us. The French Ambarilulor complains mach of our continuance in this place, and threat- ens to leave it if we embody the Maltefe. His concluet is as violent as his difpolition is unconci hating. N. lodges in a honfe belonging to the Government. Al it was out of repair, he has ordered a confiderable fum of money to be laid out upon it, and now refutes to pay the bills, al hedging that he will pay none but the Grand Mailer. Two thonfand Neapolitans have been here theft two months ; but they do no duty. Whatever difference of opinion may exilt on other fubje&s, in one thing we are all agreed, that if we (hould give up this place, the French will' foon be in poileffion of it. The troops from Egypt I are not come down, but are daily expeaed, as orders, I am informed, are gone to Alexandria to that err& : if fo, Alexandria will fowl be in the hands of the French, who have a fleet now lying at Marasorice, for the exprefs purpofe of going there as foon as we are gone. The ftrength of this place is beyond imagina tion. The hoofes here are little palaces, built with Hone of the illasid, and have lofty, fpaeious rooms, paved with Rem, and finely painted in paunch. The church of St. John's is the moll magnificent place I ever law. The French, whole paths are always marked with pleader aad devaf tation, have Itripped it of Its riches, taking away a gold chandelier, worth, as I am informed, near half a million, betides diamonds . and other pre- , does (tones, which deeassted she altars and the Wages- HAMBLTRCH MAILS.

PETERSBLIGH, JAN. 21.—OUT Court having now come to an underflanding with England and France refpeCling Malta, Couriers have been difpatched On this account to Paris and London. The Neapolitan troops in Malta, it is laid, are to be maintained at the expence of England, Ruflia, and France ; but this requires confirmation. The EMPEROR hasbought a large piece of land in the neighbourhood of his Summer Keil dente, Kamennoi Ofliof, and fent for hufbandmen from England, who are fettled there in order to carry on agriculture in the Englifh mode, and with Englifh inaruments, under the Monarch's own eye.

We with to corm& a miltake into which we find we have fallen, in common with our contem poraries. At the beginning of the prefent Seffion of Parliament, the fpeech given as Sir RoaERT 'AMUR'S was fpoken by another Member. Sir RosslT was then at Bath. A grand Mafquerade was given on Monday night, at the Pantheon, Oxford-ftteet. The build ing was moD fplendidly lighted tip: the MUfiC was excellent, and abounded in variety. The company, which were numerous, difplayed confiderable di verfity of charader, and a more than ordinary (bate of wit and humour. The (upper was prepared by Mr. / E d on, and did him much credit. On Wednefday evening, the Dove houfe, at Houlloun bleachfield, belonging to Mr. Robert Park, was burnt to the ground, with all the drying apparatus, fome cotton cloth and yarn. The pre. mires are infured in the Liverpool St. George fire °Sees Josa Macwamaaa.—The fate of this unhappy man, involved in the guilt and in the puniament of Col. Defpard,fumiffies in its progrefs an ufeful 'elan to fociety, and fhould forcibly infirtiel thole of his own rank particularly, how dangerous it is for them to launch into the ocean of politics with out that knowledge which may enable them to diflinguint the legal tracks of affirm, or without being Pure that their paffions will not nfurp that helm which fhould be under the rule of prudence and of judgment. Macnamara had been one of , chore nufguided men who formed in Ireland, what may be called, the advance guard of rebellion: he bad early adopted the wore principles of the French revolution, and had familiarized his mind to the wore means of carrying into effeft that li eantioufnefs and anarchy which he knew not to cefcriminate from true freedom, which is the off fpring of Heaven, and which cannot ally half with treachery, cbwardice, and vice. He would be an affallin ! If our Correfpondent's remembrance be corral, Macnamara, fometime about the year 1796 or 1797, kept a public-houfe in Great Strand erect, Dublin, where feditious meetings were ac eneomed to be held, and where the affaeination of the prefent Earl of CARKAMPTON was confpir od : for this confpiracy, the fubjeß of thefe obfer anions, and three other perfons, were tried at the New Seffions Green.fireet ; from fame de ka in the evidence he was acquitted ; the rev were convieted and executed in Strand-beer, op polite to the houfe which had been the fcene of their bare and cruel machinations i thefe were the ere, and, we believe, the only executions which took place under the frith A@ of Parliament, mak. jag it a capital offence to confpire the death of a private fubjea. We are not enabled to fay, poll lively. that this unfortunate man had been en rolled in the fubfequent conflies of aftual rebel ; but that be was, is probable. as it appeared In evidence on his late trial, that he had not been in this Capital more than three years. In a word. he is a Rriking proof that a man once plunging into vice becomes habitually bad, and that he can ape or will not terange himfelf from wickednefs, even when it is waft dsllingnifhed by the chara&ers of folly. He would be an afraitn, and has been holed for thole Intentions which, algid upon, in other countries lead to fortune and to power ; but which, loader the wholefonse and virtuous Confli cation, which is the Briton's bee tredure and pprsoudell bone, incur the juR ponifhment of the lbws wad the detcßation of fociety.
