They had never, how. praiseworthy.—((leer, hear!}—lf we regarded the ever, for a single day, relaxed their e x ertions in the distress of this country and the probability that cause of snltering humanity.

Thus there was peace with all the nations of the world. He did reason to •horte -that there , were some upon earth not bring forward the Address, with a view to flatter who, through :he means of this Society, had been the _vanity of any set of men, without a prospect led Nem the Ways of sin and ignorance into truth; of any substantial good.. It was his wish that the and that there were others in Ile liven bearing witness {An' urt should fairly deliver their opinion in favour to the exertions of the Society, in turning - them from of the conclusion of peace, without attempting to darkness to the marvellous light of the Gospel, and jade& on the extensive range of questions which final the power of Satan unto Goo. Haring en u- Jete% involved in the Treaty. The subject of merated some of the instances of extreme distress neutral rights, the losses and disasters which we had which 41te Society had relieved during the last year, sustained in the war, might be hereafter discussed.— the worthy and eielquent Preacher left the business It. would be fair, also to enquire whether the Mid in thin bends of his creeeregation, and their friends, .sters might not have obtained terms equally favour satisfied that they w ou ld-• b e , a s th e y a l wa y s had Ole with those of the Treaty which had been signed, beets, ready to give of tlifir aSundance.

Against any cha r ges connected with parishes as those of which the City of Westminster was composed, it was utterly impossible tie:e.relief these topics, he could not pretend to defend the Minis could be procured to so . many poor, without SOCIAL leis. They were heavily responsible,and the time would Society as the present. sip' come, when they might. d e f en d th emse l ves . The motion which he had. to .propose was, that an net triesstities t humble AMress be presented -to the Prince Regent, tbe Seale to congratulate kis Royal fligtteess on the auspicile : i l i elerawiatasiCe of -the cortmessires of a 'meaty witir-sieseriee. Fes *vets vongratulation they had, Joe conceived, sufficient grieutids. Stich a peace, Iwas highly advantageous to this cou n t r y, an d an Address of Congratulation from the City of Lon don would have a good effect in allaying those ate sensitise) which the abuse poured out on both sides had excited, and of which time -and acts •of friend ship could alone efface the recollection. The advan tages of a Treaty of Peace were obvious, when they. considered the burtheas under which the country la boured, the embarrassment of commerce, the pres sure of taxation, and the difficulties of reisingthe supplies for the support of the war. ft was said by some, would the country rest content under the disgraces which she had suffered ?—lt might be an swered, that it was notorious that the defeats which we had sus'ained had not arisen from any want Of energy its the British character, bat from the nature of the contest; from want of knowledge, etnd of . * proper description of force to meet the Navy•of the United States. No imputation had been, or could be, cast on the conduct of the officers or men em ployed. If, in these disgraces, the Government had ! its share, he should repeat, that the act for which he congratulated them had no connection with any former measures, nor was the congratulation, which he hoped the Court would oiler, intended to exte• ciente errors in the conduct of the war, or remiss: stess, if it existed, in the conclusion of the peace. However -indefensible on either of these subjects lied been the conduct of the Ministry, they might fairly congratulate the Sovereign gel du event by which we should return to an intercoase with America, bene ficial to both countries, and fions which ere might hope for an improvement of our commercial situa tion, a diminished expenditure, and a relief from the most obnoxious !maim., especially that (the Property Tax) against which the Court had so re cently thought lit to petition. ' The Address which lie should propose, if the motion were complied with, would be short and simple, and contain no thing foreign to the subject.

This was effect ed, and the persons on board, consisting of eighteen men, and a child five years old, were got into the vessel. They proved to be the passengers and crew of the Amphitrite, bound from Quebec to London, with a cargo of timber. They state that when they were nearly 2(X) leagues from Quebec, the Amphi trite sprung a leak, which increased upon them, notwithstanding their utmost exertions ; that four days before meeting the Quebec Packet, they found the vessel would shortly become water-logged; and on holding a cousultatiois, it was determined to take to the boat ; as, even if the decks should not blow up, by the pressure of the timber upwards, they had little prospect of being able to keep on deck, and none of preserving any provisions in the state of the weather. As soon as this resolution was taken, the crew ran below, burst open the lockers, and got completely drunk. In this state, they got out the boat, which. was injured in doing so, and with some provisions committed themselves to the mercy of the ocean, with the purpose of steering for the Azores. Whilid in the bolt, two persons were con stantly employed in bailing, and the Captain was forced to sutler a cask full of spirits they had got on board to run out, to keep the men from getting beastly drunk ; a propensity which even the near prospect of death could not induce them to resist.— It was providential that they fell in with the Quebec Packet on the 14th, as the nest day a storm came oti, which it would have been impossible for them to survive in a crazy boat. The Count DE LA VONT AYE says, " he has dis coves ell the means of dyeing unalterable colours, the composition of which is perfect, viz. blue upon wool and silk ; green, yellow, violet t and nine other colours ; to wit, a yellow upon wool, as strong and more brilliant than the former; two greens, one of which will resist the action of fire itself ; two fine blacks, one without coperas, which can neither burn nor harden silk, any more than wool; and another, which resists snl.4itoric acid potash in a state of ebolli. lion, as well as the action of the sun and air; an unalter able puce colour ; n crimson on silk, mach cheaper and mored urable than ccchirleal; and Inttly,apure pink —completely -unalterable through all the shades of flesh colour. Add to these 12 new colours," says he, "which may be obtained pure in ail their shades, a very beautiful while, never liable to turn yellow, 'which I have soeceer:ed in giving to wool as well as silk, and• which stored; much more than their natural hite,—if see only add to this the fastest colour of the ancient dye, or the line red yielded by alkermcs, to fill the palette; and the problem will lie solved. Of these twelve unchangeable colours, eight have been subjected to the action of the sun ender glass, during the four latter months of last aummer (18 f 3), without undergoing - the least 'alteration. Fire has no effect apon the ninth colour, and the three Inst are the Grits of my industry through the preceding winter." Mr. Ft YELL rose to second the Address, and con gratulated the COurt that there was at last a proapect that the Temple of Janus would be shut, and that the trantrillity of mankind would net soon again be disturbed.

A Statesman of no mean note had said, iniquissimain paresis jitslissimu balo aniefero ; but though he, as an Engliehman, could : not prefer the most disadvantageous peace to the. justest war : yet it was a sentiment more worthy of . _ -,1._ Approbation than the infiartithatory effu4ons of thosti Witd preferred the most n!..itrs' wa! to the most ho. nourable peace.
