Mr. HU 1 CHINSON rose to ohjea to that part of the Bill which related to the sump on the regi•try of freeholds He said that when the Right Hon. Gentleman first brought forward this bill, he had declared he would collea the sentiments of the Gen. tkmen of Ireland, as to this particular tax, and if they should be against it, he would gore it up. He, for his own part, must now beg leave to say, that he stroagly objetled to it, as being highly unconsti tutional, in as much A, it affeaed the right of the eleelors, and of that pot Lion or them too who had scarcely any thing else to shew that they had a place ir. the coaimunity. That it was without Ally pre cedent, their being in this country no such tax, not hitherto ev.iin in Ireland, any thing of the kind thought of. The 2rith of the Kiug only required Freeholders in this country should shew the exisiense of their freOlolds, and does not bear out the Iti 6 ". Hon. Gentleman in this tax. He was the ti:re sirous, he said, to urge these ohjedions at vresent, because the Right lion.

It is confiden•ly said, tl.at the king of Prussia hts resolved to recognise Bonaparte Emperor of the French. and that new :redentials have been sent to the Marquis of Lucclwsini at Paris. The German Papers say, that a fourth kingdom is about to arise in Italy ; that Lucian BONA , A RTE is to be created Grand Duke of Parma, and Kingly Regent of that part of Italy not compre hending Naples, Sardinia, and Etruria, and that he will quit his residence at Rome; that the Pore is to resign his high office, and s?end the remainder of his life in religious devotion ; that the ecclesiastical will be converted to a temporal state, of which the brother of the French Empert,r will be the head. •A letter from Rome, cl ned June 3, seems to con firm this not improbable lnteiligence : " It is now reported that the Cnurt of Vienna is labouring to bring about a pacification, and th a its mediation has been requested by one of the bellii;e. rent powers." Front Leghorn they write that an English flag of truce is arrived there with dispatches for the Court of Florence. whither they were immediately con veyed. COMP? 10/IF, JUNE 17.

LONDON, FRIDAY, luxe 19. In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Hamm- BUR Y gave notice of his intention to move, on Monday next, that the Bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade should be postponed until that day three months. His Lordship said, that even the friends of the Bill, who introduced it into the other House, could not expect, from the ad vanced state of the Session, that it could have passed in it. iA fear Lord HAWK ESEIL KY will suc ceed in his intention to throe out the Bill ; and if so, Mr. PITT will once more have the credit of de feating as a Minister, the very measure which lie sup potted as a man and a Member of Parliament. Mr. WILBERFORCE was in the House behind the Throne, and heard the reasons assigned by Lord HAWKESBUIT why the measure should be laid aside for the present. From thence it would ap pear the session will shortly close, and yet some assort, that Parliament will sit nearly a month longer, Arad that Mr. PITT has same new measures to ityro duce. These reports, we must presume, ate with out foundation.—Any new measure would be still more obje.lionable on account of the time, than the question of the Slave Trade. One of the three Hamburgh Mails doe, arrived yesterday, and brought us Letters and Papers to the 16th inst. We received at the same time Paris Papers to the :o.h, and Dutch Papers to the tier. In Germany, the Courts are emulous which of them shall degrade itself first in acknow ledging BoN•PARTR'S new dignity. Prussia. as well as Austria, have accordingly sent new Creden tial; to their Ambassadors at Paris, and are besides preparing extraordinary embassies, purposely to compliment the Usurper. If ambition and vanity ' did not entirely blind BONAPARTE, he might know' that these alit ate commanded by terror, by the power of his bayonet ; not any attachment to his person, or acknowledgment of his right. The of fee is, however, the same upon the French nation. and other Continental States surrounding it. While Addresses pour in from all the French Departments, Deputations are sent from the Ile:vetian and Ra tavian Republics, not only to salute the CORSI CAN EMPIROR, but to honour his Coronation ceremony with their presence. There can be little doubt but that Spain, Portugal, and Naples, will fellow the example of Austria and Prussia. No mention is yet made of the determi nation of the three Northern Courts—of which, however, the Danish will, probably, be forced, by fear of the French neighbourhood in Hanover, to submit in a short time. In Russia, the armaments continue ; and private accounts say, that the Cabi nets of St. James, and St. Petershurgh, pettedly agree and understand each other, with regard to the present situation of affairs, and the necessity to re sist French oneroachnsenu s but they add, that Austria and Prussia, jealous and mistrustful, are de termined to continue a precarious neutrality—and, in doing so, endure an oppression and tyranny, which a Mimi* Tams*, and a Fiti.nsiticc the Geese, would have resisted and resented, even at the risk di their Thrones. We must, however, observe, that the present Ausv !ism and PRLSSI AN Sovsamoms have neither a K AUSITZ nor a I laminas. for their Ministers and Counsellors. By Bonaparte's late usurpation of an Imperial rank, all previously existing hereditary thrones are shaken; and either they or the revolutionary throne of France must inevitably fall. Their co-existence is a moral, as well as a political impossibility. It is better to be without Kings entirely, than in their persons to see royalty loaded with insults, which, though tall :mining it, are never resented. The French Revolution, in producing so many crimes, so many errors, has, to the rest of its scourges, added that of empyrics, who promise to cure the hu man race of every disease, provided they take their drugs, and pay well for their prescriptions. Among these, Bonaparte has certainly been the most sue. cessful ; and, for the wretch2duess of the has made the most dupes. Emperors, Ki, ;gs, Princes, Ministers, States, and Nations, have Loved Isis poisonous doses ; and their prestmt melan choly situation is the consequence. There are many expatriated Frenchmen; fo, reigners who follow them, and Ministers who give them their confidence; who perceive, in the subve t . &Lai of Prance, only their own history, and, h the revolution, only a revolt protrafted by a wicked, are: bitious man and his accomplices. There ate many men in place, and reasoners out of place, who still persuade themselves that terms may be made with this volcano, and that it may be extinguished by suffering it to burn. We request these to refL upon the universality, aaivity, the rapidity, of th e revolution, anal its incompatibility with all that is still existing out of the vortex of its empire. By the event of the revolution, Europe is thrown into a state of demolition in all its parts; religion, mo. rats, language, boundaries of states, forms of go. vernment, classes of men, foundetions of property, are all effaced, all new moulded. The revolution fira • breaks empires, then throws the fragments of them into its crucibles. In them have already been formed half a dozen of republics ; and, what is more dangerous, one emperor and empress, in.pe. rial highnesses, and a revolutiasary nubility and clergy. Such has been, etch is, an .1 such ever will be this revolution. It is a body of destruElion completely organised for the purpaie, perfeWy of a piece, and adherent in all its parts, which, in its course, must crush all before it, or be crushed itself. Bonaparte's aftions and transactions do not disguise this truth. They designedly tear away the veil from the future, as well as from the past. The Revolu tion has withstood the changes of leaders, the shock of faaions, the arms of open enemies, and the snares of secret conspirators. Whoever has seized upon the reins of it, either a Robespierre, Barras, or 80. naparte, has i•eld them with a hand equally firm. It seems to have insinuated its double spirit int) all those mho have direaed it. In considering what has hitherto been tried to opp ise this engine of destruCtion, it is distrc .sing tc ail loyal men to see most Governments taking pains to oppose the Revolution upon its own nature, and maintaining, in spite of Gas. in spite of its re peated assurances, that it is not what it declares it self to be. Such is the unequivocal sense of all their conduet, from the treaty which Prussia signed at Basle, in 1795, to that in which Russia, in 1801, guaranteed, with France, the partition of Germany. The only revolutions that change the face of the world are those which combine opinion and politics. It is this combination which is never attended to by ordinary diplomatic charaaers, or the still more .njudicious class of military men, who, when they have traced fine evoiotions upon paper, besieged some forts, or displaced some battalions, imag'ne ley have undone an empire, before which, generals, armies, and fortresses, have fallen into dast. If Mahornet had fixed his mind only upon a kingdom, perhaps he would have remained a tamel-driver; but he was a revolutionist in religion, in Isgislation, and in morality. The minds of men took fire, and his dogmas spread with the empire. The King dis appeared, but the prophet-legislator still reigns over one half of the globe. Bonaparte is perfectly aware of the qualities and effeas of these double revokitions. His predecessor's zeal of impiety, aid tanaticisirn of equality, equally striklng the senses and the imagination, have been kept up is his religious Concordat, as well as in that of the Senatus Consultus, which annihilated both liberty and equality. However changeable may be his revolutionary system in its metamorphoses and mr difications, its principle remains fixed and immut able, and it is only in its principle that we are to look for it. Its very essence renders it incompatibk with whatever is not of its own nature, with all that has existed before it, with all that exists around it. If all independent states and statesmen con.iJer this with attention, all petty passions of jealous, of rivalry, of hatred, and, in a word, all thite wretched strifes which twelve years of common mi sery have scarcely diminished, must disappear ; and the only remedy, a common war in a commit cause, against a common enemy, carried on with energy and union, restore France her lawful So vereign, and the world its long lost repose.
