Annuiti;:s, was presented, and ordered to be laid upon the Table. SLAVE TRADE ARCM MN RILL. Mr. Hobhouse brought up the Report of this Rill. Lord HOWICK said, that in conseqnence of what had passed upon a former occasion, and upon further consideration, he thought it better to propose an alteration in the preamble. This he would do. not from any alteration of his sentiments, but in order to conciliate those who opposed Ore measure 'fire preamble expressed. that the uade was founded upon inhumanity and injustice, and although these were principles which Parliament could not aban don, yet, in order to reconcile the prejudices of those who opposed the Bill, he should con sent to leave them out. These expressions were sail to be likely to excite discontent and rebellion am ingst the negroes, and to instigate them to re volt ; but lie could not conceive that any such re• suit would follow the experiment, having been al ready completely tried by a great number of papers having been published. To satisfy all, however, he should therefore move, is That the expressions as to the inhum.nity and injustice of the measure, be omitted in the preamble of the Bill." After some observations from General Vyse, Mr. Rose, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Barham, Mr. Dickinson, and General Gascoyne, who, in ge neral, seemed rather to approve of the proposed al teration, the Amendment was agreed to. Lord HOWICK then suggested some other amendments, relative to the enlistment of Negroes into Black Corps,• and a provision as to Negro ap prentices, who have finished their apprenticeships, not becoming chargeable upon the island, but to be provided for by His Majesty. These were agreed to. and the Bill ordered to be read a third tins. on Wednesday next. Mr. HORNER gave notice, that he should to morrow move the further postponement of the Abadan Maks Midas. POREIGII IN7ELLIVITACt GOTAXNBURGH MAIL GoTIINBUROII, Fit V. A. messerger arrived this morning, in nine days. from St. Petersburgh, bringing offi:ial accounts of the different anions between the French and Rus sian armies, from the Ist of this month, and of an importaat vi Rory gained by the latter, wherein the Frenab are said to have lost nearly 20,008 men. Twelve stands of colours were taken from them, six of which were exhibited upon the parade at St. Patersburgh. When the messenger left it, there were an illumination and great rejoicings. It is said, that since Bonaparte entered Poland, he has lost above 100,000 men. It is also reported, that a French General has deserted, who has arrived at St. Petcrsbnrgh. An English swindler (calling himself Captain Gordon, of the 3d regiment of guards) has been playing several tricks here daring the last three weeks, and being the first Englishman who has ap peared at Gotteoburg in that character, has been too successful in defrauding inn-keepets, woollen drapers, tailors, wine-merchants. &c. &c. he obtain-.d three handred via -Dollars, of the house of Messrs. John Mall and Co. under the pretence of having a letter of credit for it, and presented a forgtd bill of exchange, for 1001. to the house of Messrs. Ander. son and Wohlfart, signed Clais Grill, London ; but Mr. Grill's hand-writing being well known here, he was immediately deteCt d. and thought proper to decamp ; he at first took slicker in the Fanny gun br4, Litut.

I.ONDON, TUESDAY, M*ic■ 10. Lientenant General Witrostmes a, the Com mander in Chief of the South American Expedition. arrived at Portsmouth, on Sunday. He goes with his suite in the T4ishe frigate. Generals Gown' ■nd ACKLAND wall go with the transports. all of which ate not yet colleted. as those at Sheerness only received orders tit Sunday, to proceed to Portsmouth. The F-xpedithrn will be convoyed by the Corawant, Hermes, and Steed, sloops of war. Among the foreign papers, the arrival of which we announced yesterday, is a number of the French paper, the Moniker —lt observe', that there are some very absurd reports in circulation, respelling the late battles of the French armies—that, by the condescension of the Emperor, the French have regular and official narratives of whatever oc curs—and tEat if they choose to believe more than is contained in these narratives, which are drawn up on the spot, and published in the face of the whole army, they deserve to be de ceived for their foUy and credulity. We ask no other confirmation than this language of the French official paper, to satisfy us, that the de. feat of the French, at Prussian Eylay, on the fish of February, was as complete as it is represented in 7he Leaden F efraordieery (learnt, of Sunday. The Minor French Journals are filled with the details of the late atrocities, as they call them, in s they concur, however, in the assertion, that tranquillity is restored ; but that the intrigues of a faithless enemy are still at work in other parts of Germany. It would seem by this, that the dis content had spread beyond its first limits ; and that every thing was not according to the French wishes in the other German States. The Dutch Papers, moreover, contain a state ment, that Witteravia, on the banks of the Main, WAS in the bands of the insurgents ; and that in Weimar, Gotha, and other Duchies on the banks of that riser, a system of organised revolt, called for the vigilance and energy of a military government. If these statements are to be relied upon, much may be expe&ed from this state of things. We have received a letter. signed " An Elector of Wesimintter," complaining that the condo& of Cos sett, in disavowing any %hare in the Petition of Mr. PAULL j and the observation of hlr.Sosainan, in the House of Commons, did net warrant the epi thets of " Deserter and Apostate," applied to Con ✓ert, in The British Press of yesterda►.—The writer of the Paragraph, in The British Press, certainly only meant to represent COIIITT as a man who, after he had made all the mischief that he could, meanly turned his back upon it, hug ging himself in his own fancied cleverness, and laughing in his sleeve, at the dupes of his artifice. The epithets of s, Deserter and Apostate" may be too libel* and comprehensive, for such little, mis .. • . gr:4l.. this viola. . gaol" has an 144,:4tnn ea rdcall them. But, perhaps, if "4.
