His IMperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty co ntineed,oevertheless, eartilinced of the utility, and even bf the stetessity, di general pacifiCation; and this conviction afforded him new motives. fit renewing his pressing represen tatiohs id the Court of Ltmdcmi hi July; soon after the igtsiii of the Peace, the Prince br.Stahrefnbei g Swath receded orders to indsice the British Ministry to enter Into a neg , ociation With France, in order that the Continental Peace might be cOnnected with; and tonfirined by, a Maritime i'eace., lint these propo sitions were not Mote sacetssful than die former had been, and the ansWer of England Was evasiees His Majesty, however, thought it right to resins to a Subject of the most Material indueriee oit the general system of Europe, as well as on the prosperity of the Austrian proVinces iiarticulati Prince Stahrefts berg *as,. therefore, for the third titne, directed, in ilepts 1807! to make some further overtures, connected With the former measures Of the Court of Vienna' 44 gilt before his Majesty's Ambassador reported the result of his communications, the Court of' Lon don declared its sentiments with regard to a maritime peace in so positiae a manner —( refusing at the same time the Mediation of Russia, Making an attack on Copenhagen, and seising the Danish fleet, without assigning arty satisfactory cause of tsese violent mea sures, nay saidestVooring to Justify th ose violent pro ceedings, their infringements of the unquestionable rights of neutral powers, by official declarations which evidently dashed With the principles of other Great Powers) —that it was impossible not to perceive in : the course pursued by the British Minister, a deterthina tion to reMove the possibility of peace to a greater distance, and riot to listen to whatever had any ten dency to restore tranquillity to Europe. 44 The littpression %Ali& this conduct, destructive of all the hopes which his Majesty had fondly con ceived, made Ott him, was as deep as it Was painful. Without, waiting for the further reports of Pr i n ce Stahremberg, orders still more urgent, and more spo sitive, were sent hint, than he had before received.— These instructions, bearing date the aOth of October, contained, first, a recapitulation of all former transaC tions, and directed Min to represent to the Cabinet of Su James's, hi the Strongest tolours, the unavoidable consequences Ohs conduct, and to insist, in the most earnest maiseser, on an open declaration of its real sen timents With regard kopeace, and to avail himself of all possible Means to l t d it back to sentiments of mo de r ation, fitted int the present situation, and meet ing With the wishes Q# z urop e. " The dispatetes closed with the precise order to apply once More on this subject, in ate ocial man lier, to his Britannic Majesty's Min ister for Foreign Affairs and to Make to him, the formal proposal for maritime peace, on such principles as answered the interest of all the Powers concerned; and, as a pro visional proof of his pacific disposition, to desist from the measures pursued against Denmark, and retract the declaration which itconpanied theta. Should' the Court of St. James's reject these proposals, or purposely protract giving any answer , Mince Sah remberg was directed to demand his passports, and leave London, with every person belonging td the embassy. 14 It was the Etnperor's will that the above instruc tions should be restricted to such poipti of general in-1 terest as were most likely to tnove the British Cabi-: net to receive, his proposals with attention and kind ness ; and if his Imperial Majesty ordered no com plaints io be inserted of the numerous violations of his rights as a neutral power—violations, with regard to which his Majesty_ had hot been able to obtain the least redress or compensation ; the reason, no doubt, will be obvious, Which induced his Majesty to pass by in silence whateifer concerned his personal ititerest. , " His Majesty's Ambaisador in London could not but execute the positive, orders which he had teceited from View), to their full extent. But being of 'opinion that he tnight yet indulge an hope, of being able to prevail on the English Ministry to shew more pacific sentiments towards France, he was resolved to ex press at first only part of his orders, .in a Note ad dressed to Mr. Canning. On the 20th of November the Seoretary of State answered that Note by a mere repetition of the declaration made tb Austria by Eng land in the month of April, 1801, 14 As all further representation Was noW evidently inefiecoial, a final notification Was sent on the 22d of' Decenibei to Prince Stahremberg, which repeated the order of the 80th of October, end directed him, before his departure, to motives of the Conduct of the Court of Vienna towards the Chun of London..--Thest dis patches did not however arrive in London till Prince Stalwernbetig hid applied for and received his passes, Ind he no longer could have Comnittnication with the Secretary of State, and deliver in the Note which had been transmitted to hits. This representation, which Is confined to the official cotirnunications that have gassed between the Governtnents, is enteclent to, chew that the Cabinet of St. James's Cannot mistake the estities nor the motives vat:llth have induced his Apostolic Majesty to break - off the connecemn which has hitherto existed between Austria and Great Britain.

HOME OF LORD9 I MARCH id. The Marine Mutiny Bill was reed a second time. The Anicriciii Commissioners' lull was read a attend times STANDING OHDE,St OP ilit . HOUsE. Lord HAWKF.SBURY rose on the Order of the Day, for re suming the adjourned debate on iliis sebiett, andmaintained that the clauses complained of by tile Noble Lord (Grenville), its the Orders in Council Bill, bad no relation whatever to the Standing Order of the House established in 170 2 . He instanced Bills pas sed et various periods, containing a reference tp othet objects than aid and supply, particularly tile Convoy Bill, the Consolidation Bill, and the Itish Stamp Bill: In the latter, which principally related to names, provision was made for regulating prosecutions against Printers of Newspapers. He considered the Standing Order *hies. said, that nothing foreigp to, or differing from, a Bill of aid and supply, should be received by the House, as applicable only td measures of revenue. The clauses complained of in this Bill weie necessary to give effect td the Bill, and he did not feel that there Was any ground for rejecting the Bill on this account. Lord ERSKINE contended, that -whatever the practice of the House might have been, it could not set aside the written orders of the liduee; practice might decide with respect to unwrit ten law, because, in that case; the deritions upon the subject de clared the law, but where there Oat s Written statutes no practice could set it aside—the written law retrained to be referred to, and to shew the course to be pursued. Thus it Was with the stan ding order ; and he could not conceive what the Noble Lotd meant in arguing that the general applieatitin of the otder would defeat its object. Vas it to be argues'; that an order general in its na ture, and clearly stating its object, was only to be applied to par ticular instances, or was it to chew what instances it ought to be applied to ? Either it ought to be applied according to the terms of it, it distinctly Stated, or else it ought to be repealed. The prechdents quoted by the Noble Lord were either not in point, as proving only that clauses inserted in bills contrary to this order, had eon unnoticed by the House, or else they proved too much, for if they were to be taken at declaring the settee of the House upon * chi- subject, then there was an end of this Standing Order. There tvere, however, two instances of recent date in which the House had acted upon this Order, the one in 1789, when Lord Thurlow was Chancellor, when a Bill of Aid and Supply was re jected as containing clauses foreign to its object—and the other in January 1807, when he hen the honour of sitting en the Wool sack, and of pointing out to the House the necessity of enforcing their Standing Order. Al to there being no indemnity contained in the Bill, he thought, on the contrary, that if it passed, sod sup posing the case of Ministers being impeached for issuing the Orders in Council, that that Houle: could not, after passing this act as it now stood, find then. guilty. His Lordship went through those clauses of the Bill which were advei ted to on Monday evening by Lord Orenvilte, and Contended that they were foreign to and dif ferent from the object of the Bill, as a Bill of Aid and Supple, and therefore that the Bill, in conformity with the express words and meaning of the Order, ought to be rejected. Lord MULGR AVE considered the Bill admissible, anti ex- I I pressed a hope, that afict the delay that had been incurred by re 'Reim,' opposition, the House Seould not reject it. Lord HOLLAND contended that the Bill could not be re ceived by the House. He did not impute blame to Ministers for introducing it, because the informality might Inste been crer lieeked in the dispatch of business, but he did impute Censure to them for obstinately persisting that it was regular. Lord SIDMOUTH said, that it was netestary tb say a word or two upon the origin of the Standing Order, which Led been read. During the reigns of Charles 11. and William HI. in the progress of half a Century, numerous attempts lied heed made by the House of Comtnons to introduce into the House of Lords ob jectionable measures, by connecting them with money hills ; so that Unless their Lordships condescended td Stich measures, the aids for the sereke of the State were refused. Urged by this en deavour, the House of Lords, for the preservation of its own inde pendence, entered On the Journals this Standing Order, and when so adopted it must either be obeyed or repealed. The Order itself might require some explanation. The Money Bills therein refer red to were easily distinguished--they always originated to a Committee of Ways and Means, as did the Bill now under cep sideration—thee had the preamble, in which the name of the Lords' House was excluded, as in this Bill ; and when thh It 15i Assent was given, it -Wee not " Le Rol le vent," but " Lb koi retnercie see bone services, accepte leur benevolence, et ainsi le veut ;" and so it would be given to this Bill, if it proceeded to that stete of maturity. The instances adduced ought to be Money Bills of this description ; and if they were nbt, the Standing Order had no reference to them whatever. Trying then, the examples or precedents stated by this test, he found that out of eight sub witted to the attention of the House, only two or three In the course of a century were applicable to the purpose to which they were referred. If their Lordships regarded their own consistency, independence, and dignity, he thought they could not dispense with the Standing °Wier on the present occasion, and that the Bill must be rejected. Lord MELVILLE considered the teal question, for the House to consider under the letter and obvious meining of the Standing Order cff 1702, was, whether or not the clausesobjecfed to in the Bill were foreign to, sad different from, the objects of the Bill, as a Bill of Aidand Supply', or not ? He-eras decidedly of opinion that they were not; but that they grew out of the Bill itself, and were mete clausesof regulation for carrying it into effect. Lord LAUDERDALE considered these clauses as totally fo reign to the Bill, and thought they ought, if deemed necessary, to be the subjett of a dietinct Bill. Lona GRENVILLE. argued at great length with his wonted a'Ulitiet, to the same effect, and said that they were contrary to all precedent in a money bill; and viokuing to the privileges of that House and to the Constitution. The Lord CHANCELLOR coneended, that the clauses were not only not foreign to the Bill, but in direct forthetance of its objects as a money Bill, and that all the prmedents quoted by the &etre eel of Sate we r e tick* in poitit ; and t h at both Timm, of Itflttertld Wt th. stet inters aid partici Royal, am ealtyinced of tt genrr him new tatiohs ti {IW again reef to tilt& ir thd Conti' t f asfirine l / 4 1 saions we been, anC Majesty, tdtklect system of Austrian berg Was. ilept,lBo With the gilt the result don decl peace, in time the Copenhe assigning sures, Pa endings rights of evident; .
