thorne I because he was certain it would be an en cuuragement to smuggling. Sir JOHN NEWPORT and Mr. HUTCHINSON Ols. jeted to the duty on foreign salt, import,-1 into Ire land. The latter Gentleman observed, that the provision trade of Ireland was rapidly declining, and this , uty would have the effect of making it vrorsr, and of creating an alarm among the trade ; because, he was sine, it wonld add to the price of salt, of which SO large a quantify was used it, cnring MCAT. Besides, this increase of price would overate as a hardship on the poor Irish cottager, wla,se si tuation called for the coropassiosate attention of evtry HUH. Mr. FOSTER said, the thing itself was zo 4 reat °Neel. and he was teddy to coincide with the wishes of those Gentlemen, who thought that Salt train Portugal ought to be exempted. He would not press any thing that might even be supposed to have an effed on the provision trades and for the encou ragement of that trade, as well as of the merchants in hentral, he would introduce a provision to allow the warehousing of Salt, imported into Ireland. The Bill having gone through this Committee. the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Committees of Ways and Means and Supply were put off till Monday.—Adjourusd till to morrow. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM TIM HAMRURGII PARIS. jtwt 19 The Dutch Direttors, Brantsen and Bickar, and the Secretary of State, Vauder Goes, are Members of the Deputation sent from Holland to ct,mpliment the Emperor. It is said that Moteau will be appointed an Impe rial Field Marshal, and Governor of toe Isle de France. His sentence was first two years im prisonment, which the Emperor changed into two years millet - tit Lis estate Grosbois. Is the letters which Bonaparte has addressed to the stiffetsen Continental Sovereigns, be calls them My Cessim ! The rewstprivateer from Nantes, has taken and carried into that port an English Jamaicamaa, of 3SO tons, laden with colonial produdions. Net only General Le Courbe, but General Mac donald, has been exiled by the Emperor, for their imprudent eonduift during Moreau's trial. As a great want of money is severely felt at Lyons, the Emperor, to prevent the silk trade daring the approaching fair of Baucaite, from suffer. ing, has ordered the Minister of his Treasury to write to the Dirodors of the Bank of France not to demand their payments in cash, for bills discounted by the merchants at Lyons, at least for four months to come. General Marcoff, the brother to the late ambas sador, has left France, where he went for the benefit of his health. A new frigate, called Le Preident, of 42 guns, has been lately launched. It is the Prussian Prince, Lieutenant-General Hatzfeld, who is ordered as ambassador extraor dinary to compliment our Emperor on his elevation. The English are equipping numbers of Dutch se/suits as gunboats, and building others with flat bottomed boats. The late engagement has con ♦inced them of the utility of this small craft ; hut, before they can finish theirs, oars shall prove to them that they have begun one year too late to ful low the examples of their masters in building armed vessels, as well as in commanding armed Volunteers. Motesu remains still shut up in the Temple, but is treated with less severity. He is permitted to see his wife and child, in the presence of the gent d'a,mes, for two hours every day. Citizen Ingrand has found out, that the words Niloloon Remlaporte, Pr,•nuer C0,i401, make an ma gram : Porte lieu Is CONTORIII brryperusle. The Emperor is daily expeded at Arras, to review the corps d'Elite of grenadiers encamped there, and commanded by General Junot. The inhabitants areerefting triumphal arches for his reception. The city of Tours has determined to give every day. corresponding with that of the Emperor's coro , nation. 8001. is dowry to some virtuous maid. The Helvetian Minister, Maillardotz, and the Satavian Minister, Schimmelpenninck, have in formed Talleyrand, that they have received new credentials from their Governments, as A TbASSi . . odors to his Majesty Napoleon, Emperor of the French. The portraits of the 47 Conspirators are now publicly exposed for sale, and purchased with great avidity. During Moreau's trial, several military persons of Sigh rank stood around him, and spoke to him ; among others, General Lecourbe, who has been or dered to leave Paris immediately, and to reside on Isis estate in ci &veal Franche-Comte. It is reported, that England intends to blockade Use Terel. Dommaget, the official defender of George, de fied the Public Accuser to prove even the shadow of a conspiracy against Bonapa.rte's life. He paid, one man is sufficient to kill one man, but forty-seven persoiss are unable to change or destroy the Govern. tornt of a nation of thirty millioas. You have ex aminrd (continued Dommaget) t ssi witnesses.— L Most of them have never known the accused ; the others speak from hear-say, and report rumours. Four only pretend that a conspiracy was known to them to exist ; but they acknowledge, at the same time, that Government has paid them handsomely to come forward, and inculpate the accused. In the former case they are accomplices—in the latter, pur chased spies; it is against the laws of civilised nations to condemn, upon the testimony, nay, even to take the oaths of persons corrupted, immoral, and interested in the issue of a civil, much more so, of a criminal affair." Dommaget finished his defence of George, with these words " Let us remember the horrible consequences of civil wars, and that men who have figured in them may be defeated and forced to sub mit; but that clemency alone can make them and their followers remain quiet, under a government they hate. Death can never restore quiet and con tent to the western department, without killing r , s maw, so contrary to the humanity of the Emperor, whose interest it is, besides, not to depopulate Lis dominions. Clemency alone can effeet what death is unable to do. Cz3ar would not pardun Eigarius. Cicero undertook his defence, and Cesar ac know_ ledged himself vanquished by the orator. I (said Dommaget) have not the talents of this great man. May I, however, be, on this occasion, crowned with his success!" George added to this defence, that he did not wish to live ; but that, for the honour of France and humanity, he desired and prayed that Bonaparte would be satisfied with his death, and not stain France with the blood of the other innocent men, accused with him. At the beginning of last week, eight of the persons condemned to death were transferred to the Bicetre. Out of the twelve who were imprisoned in the Con c.ergurie, eight have obtained their pardon through the cieittency of kos Maj.:sty. Those persons were transferred to the Temple on Friday evening. The four others, Gecrge, Lemercier, Lelan, and Cadu dal, were conveyed the same day to the Bicetre. it is reported, that those who already have been, or may be pardoned, will be set at liberty on the lath of July. Mr. Livingstone, the American Minister, is re turned from London with Mr. Waddel, who ac companied him. The objea of their journey to that country remains a secret. ST. PETESSIBUROH, JUNE 5. The arsniversary of the birth of the Grand Duke Constantine, on the 21 inst. was celebrated in the Tanride Palace, with a dinner, at which the Empe ror and Empress were present. On the next day the Grand Duke, at the head of the Horse Guards, left this capital, to be present at the usual camp, six miles west from here, which is to continue fur six weeks. General Suchtelcn has laid before the Emperor a new plan for extending and fortifying the port and harbour of Revel, according to which, it will be the first Russian sea-port in the Baltic, and will be capable of containing the whole Russian fleet. Tlie Emperor has approved of it, and ordered four mil lions of roubles to carry it into effea. The French Minister, La low, has received, from our Court, a very midst - al:tory answer upon the note, which he I.ttely delivered, respeaing Bo naparte's new dignity. The 29th ult. our Sovereign returned uncrpetedly and alone from his journey to Livonia. His Ma jesty's suite anived on the Wednesday ANTWERP, It NT 14. They write (rum Ostend, that besides the imperial guard already arrived there, another part is daily expeded from Paris. This seems to confirm the report that the Emperor will soon join the army. The report of General Moreau not being con demned to death, has caused the greatest rejoicings among the troops encamped along the coast. Even the Generals and Officers joined the men. I: is, however, not yet true that these Generals have been recalled to Paris. ROITERDAU, Jt'•:E 23. We have just received information from the Hague, of the death of the Prince of Orange : at least, the report of his death is generally believed there. Ile is said to have died of a pituitous corn plaint. The subjugation and humiliation of this country to the entire controul of the French are complete. We dare not even mention the name Bonapaste now—no appellation but the Emperor is allowed. No instrument is so powerful, either for or against Government, as the Liberty of the Press, this the Emperor of the French has long seen, and ailed accordingly, not only in France, bet in this country also ; what little we had is now wholly extinguished ; for the Dutch press is complete ly under the management of the French police.— All the numbers of the Thews, a Weekly Journal, the last of which contained a few observations on the French and Dutch Governments, have been officially demanded of all the Booksellers through out the whole Republic, to prevent further circula tion. If the parties concerned presumed to stand their ground, they are certain of a severe punish. ment. A few months since, a Bookseller at Am- Ti 1E BRITISH P HESS• LON DON, SATURDAY, Jugs 30. The Session of Parliament begins to exhibit all the usual symptoms of an approaching close. Both Houses of Parliament, contest y to custom, s:t this day, not at the demand of any pleasing meature, but merely to expedite ordinary business. Sevcr . l Mem bers base also left town, and others are pre paring to follow. From all these circumstances, it is generally supposed, that a prorogation will take place in about three weeks. The rumours late ly spread, of its being the intention of the Minister to introduce some new measures in the course of the present Session, have, of course, begun to die away. Indeed no one expects that he will bring forward, at this advanced period of the Ses sion. any subjet that would produce much debate. Letters from Plymouth,received in town yesterday morning, state the arrival at that Port of a cutter with three French loggers, or chasse ?soarers, taken on t heir way from Corunn.l to Bayonne, with 160,000 dollars on board, supposed to be part of the Spani.h subsidy due to France. The two Ilambnrgh Mails due, arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 2dd. They afr )rd exaltly the view of continental politics disclosed in the mail immediately preceding. MOIL U'S pu nishment, it is said, has been mitigated into exile at his country seat near Paris. Private letters, both from Vienna and Berlin, say, that Bonaparte's emissaries to these Courts, in in forming the Austrian anl Prussian ministers of their master's new dignity, announced, at the same time, that any difficulty, or objettion, to ac knowledge the Corsican as an Emperor of the French, would immediately be resented by him, and regarded by the French nation as a de clar.ttion of war. On the other hand, the Turkish Empire and Hanover were held out as spoil, which n o sy indemr.ify the Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, for their courtesy in an affair eq3ally interesting to Bonaparte, and to the French people. These letters add, that Bonaparte, in a let-• ter under his own hand, to Francis 11. has invited this Sovereign to occupy Belgrade, and with his troops tcstore tranquillity on the Turkish frontiers, lest the imuneftion of the Servians should spread into the Austrian dominions; and, as Bonaparte has aelh'eg so Pe: Ur h of heart as a plural and continual pease, should the Ger man Emperor And out any nieans to adjust the dif ferences subsisting between France and Russia, and to bring about a pacification between France and England, the universe would proclaim him :he be nefaftor of mankind. In another letter to the Arch. Duke Charles, Bonaparte has held nearly the same language. It is impossible that either the Emperor of Ger many, or the King of Prussia, can be the dupes of Bonaparte's political hypoc.isy ; but, divided and unprepared as they are, to resist an attack from France, while they mistrust each other, their com mon jealousy dilates it as their policy not to p ro . yoke the resentment of the Usurper. Robespierre's reign of terror, ten years ago, extended no farther tha❑ over France ; but that of 13,,wiparte tyrannise; over the whn!e continent, from li.tnthurgh to p,• lermo; at the former period, the continent v.. ; free, and most of its nations in arms against the n yolutionaiy Monster ; which now, after di.mrming them, enslaves, plunders, oppresses, and dograa,3i them at leisure, without shame, as well as withot.: opposition. As Britons, we have to be prouj of our comparative situation with the continent ; b ut , at the same time, we ought to remember that, b a some few years ago, Holland and Switzerland en joyed the same blessings of liberty and ind:pen dcnce. _ _ The deficit of forty millions of florins i s this year's budget of the Batavian Government, has excited the attention of the Finn CONSUL, who has con sulted CitizensTALLEYRAND and Mstaots, with the Counsellors of State of the seElion of finances, as to the best means to make good this deficit. Report sat- % that the plan of Cit. TALL! YR AND has been adopted, and that the French Minister Sixorivittor, at th e Hague, has received orders to iaviic the Dutch Di:cc. tory to pot it into executirn, notwithstanding the cla mours of the mercantile at istocrates of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, whose anglootalia is proverbial in Holland as well as in France. (I.c ah.tven Francoh.) Dispatches, which are supposed to he of consider. able importance, were received on Thursday at the Admiralty from Admiral Contma Lis. NVe under. stand that they relate to some movements which have within these few days been observed in th' enemy's fleet. Great activity has lately been exerted to prepare it for sea. The Dover Carrie, Captain Geocor RICKAIM: sos, for Sr. Helena and Bengal s and the if ti Captain flestcy PLNDARRES TaestatincEstr, f r Madras and Bengal, were spoke with, off Madeira, on the Ist inst. all well. • One of the Brighton fishing-boats lately fell is with, and spoke to an American vessel (the Balti more, from Baltimore) off peachy Head. This yes. Bel had' left Dunkirk only the day preceding, to which place she had been bound with tobacco ; and the account which was communicated to the fi-her men of the preparations on the other side of the water, for the invasion of this country, justifies the presumption, that it will be attempted in a very few days at farthest. Nearly the whole of the troops, it was stated to them, intended for the es pcdition, had aFtually embarked for the danerous projeft, ere the Baltimore left Dunkirk ; and that a fair wind was only wanting to waft them across the Channel. Two new gon-!-cEitT, to he called the Creek'? and Older, have, within these few days, been launeh^d from Messrs. Prrciir.as' d‘ek-yard at Northfleet.
