PANICS OF THE F. 1.110, Of %ILL,' 10. is reported, on the arittionty of several re s;rectsble rive.; letters from Vienna, that a close ; „!imee, offedsiie and dcfeas:.e, will Ice soon con . dialed between Austria and France, in which the fee of Turkey is also to be settled. The French mid Aileron' Diplomatic Agents, at Coostantino. p:e, are raid to have receiver' fresh propositions to he made to the Grand Seignior, which, unless they are accepted, a rupture with France and AuAtrie, at the same time, is to be the immediate coolie- These proposals are reported to be highly Monica' to Great Britain, and to herd to the entire exclusion of the trade of that country to all parts of Turkey and the Levant. Negociations are also wid to be on foot between France and Prussia, for the cessation of Silesia to Austria, for another ter. 'dory of equal value. Prussia is also raid to have been calleA upon to furnish, in case France should be engaged in a war with any Northorn Power, a motile:Tem of 20,000 men. As this stipulation seems evidently to be directed against Russia, the Cabinet of Berlin, for a variety of ransom, has hitherto refused to agree to it. According to mend letters from France, Berna dotte, Prince of Punte Ceres, has fallen into dis grace with his master Napoleon, and cannot at pre sent appear at Court. The Kiog of Holland was likewise no the point of losing his crown, but by the interretenee of Madame Napoleon's mother, he has all at once got into his brother's good graces again. The price of colonial products will aeon reach en exorbitant rate at Hambnrgl►, as the King of Denmark has. out of complaisance to Bonaparte and hie agents, forbidden the tending of these ar.• tide► from Alton., not only to I lamburgh, but also to other places in his earn dominions, under pain of three inanthe imprisonment. This severe mea sure is incch blamed by his Cerium subjects; and great discoutent also protasis at Copenhagen.. It is thought, that if the American slips are per tnit•.ed to soled nest 3'eas Dollish ports, a French army will occupy Holstein. DRESDEN, MARCH 1.

Among the contradictory reports which are in cir culation, relative to the partition of the provinces ceded to the Confederation of the Rhine, the fol lowing skins to deserve notice:—Bavaria obtains the principality of SAW:meg, the country of Reich tolsgarlen, the Qiisiter of the I in, the ceded part of Upper Austria, and a part of Barenth. She cedes in return a district with 180,000 iiiluthitaots to the king of Wirtrinberg, who, on hitrpart, will cede to the Grand Duke of Baden • district containing 80,000 souls. ANSTBRDAM, FEB. 214. A courier, whoarrived, this morning, from Paris, has brought dispatches of the highest impoitance for this kingdoms. These dispatches, the 15th inst. contain certain intelligence of real and immediate negociatons between their Majesties the Emperor and our King. Every possible good may be hoped Aston the issue of these negociations ; as it is known that the King is disposed to conform in every thing to the *irises of his illustrious brother, and to make every practicable sacrifice to secure the preservation of the country. This interesting intelligence has been transmitted in two letters from His Majesty, one addressed to the Council of Ministers, and the oilier to the Legislative Body.— (Alseille du Nerd, Marrh 9.) THE BRITISTI PRESS, . LON DON, SATURDAY. Nlticm The Misuse of Commons, la , t night, presented • nPw sad extraordinary scene. Mr. SHERIDAN'S °mice of a motion on the petition of Mr. Groans FAlMtiliallloll, complaining of the byr.lsw of the liplichers of Lincoln's-Inn, for the exclusion of "engrafts connected with the public press from Elm., was union the (inlets of the Day. Mr. tint.sto•u sttembri in his place, to do his duty ; Mr. wimmisr, anticipating los purpose, rose t r more the titaiitling Order of the House fur shut hi"; the Gallery. and it was cleared accordingly.— hilr.WittDNeM has long since (eased to be the refire sristive of Norwich. Ile once had the honour of representing the populous, high-spirited. and in depearlcat Borough of St. Mauves; and hes uew the honour of representing the free and iudependent Borough of Hightm-Ferrers. Mr. IWrivonsu, therefore, in thus preventing the voice of the representative from being heard by the peupl.-, had not tosdrend the fate of Mr. Vallee; he was in no danger of being kicked duo:, from the high and proud initiation of representative of the cool ty of Cambridge, to a rotten borough, for there he is already ; and while lie has a purse or a pa tron, lower he cannot descend. Yet he bogs:led and hesitated, as if afraid of the undertaking ; um! it was not until pressed by Mr. SHERID•st and the SrEAKER, that he hail courage to declare los pur pose it) parliamentary terms. It will be uatuielly presumed, that the motives which could incite • Member of Parliament to the adoption of so un popular a course, and toper hilly a Member like Mrs Wt N DHAM.who effects to belong to Opposition, must be not merely strong and satisfactory, but actually irresistible and iuvineible. Now, the reaton assigned by Mr. W I N rill 111 was, that, se the rptestion to be agitated affected a portion of thepenple, the Gen tlemen, whose duty it is to report the Debates in the Newspapers, who must, from the nature of their avocation. he presumed to he in the gallery, it be came necess&y to exclude them loon the gratifica tion of hearing their own praise. This is the mo tive assigned fur his conduct by Mi. WINDHAM. and all that he thinks necessary to plead in his de fence. So, then, the Liberty of the Press, being the palladiums of the Constitution, the Right Hon. Member was afraid that the modesty of the Gentle men connected with the Public Press would be shocked, if permitted to hear the praises whit's Mr. SHRRIDAN. the Champion of the Constitution. would probably bestow upon them. Bat where did all this delicacy sod regard for the feelings of those Geutlemea 'dumber and hi le, when they were locked up in the gallery, and compelled to hear all the invective and abuse, and hear all the odium, which the Right llonunreble Gen tleman was pleased to heap upon them ? In the or. dinary course of the dispensation of justice, it is usual to hear both sides; but it was reserved for Mr. WINDHAM to ID tint tin, that the party should hear all that could be said against situ, hut nut one word of what could be stated in ids defeisee. We have read of the secret Tribunal, awl of the lequisi tioo ; but although their • Ty name strike. horror into the human breast, we have not heard of any such rule in their proceedings. The parry, it is true, was tried in secret, and left at the mercy ut h:s Judges, who had nothing to fear from public opi nion, and acquitted the guilty, or punished in nocence, at their pleasuie; but, although thus trizd in darkness, he had au opportunity of making big defiruce, and hearing what one of 1114 judges might be disposed to say in his limn% It ill thconics an Englishmaii, and advocate of the Cetholic claims, to ay.', in a tint's!' Senate, a prM -eijite from which the ioquisarion revolts : But what extravagauce and ineonsistency • •vy out be ex. peeled trans the man, who declared that - "CoItBETT deserved a statue of gold," and reproached Mr. Fox with being " a pander to the Wisest putwons of littiti:lll nature ;" who Altera:tr.!s did suit and service to that Nlr. Fox, as his levier, and has shier abused that COBBeT r, us one of those base and prostitute wretche s , connected with the public press, who ought to be driven limn society ? It would his waste of time to follow this part of the ar r lurnent, which, if rushed to its full leng.h, would go to prove, that, in every case of a pelitip.i, the gallery should be cleared. lest the pet,tio.ler should heisr something to lies advantligo. W litre the inbj.ct of debate ni iy lead to the ih,elosare of facts or pur poses, the publicatioo of 0,111.,1 might prove detri mental to the piddle, or to individuals, no goal sn ject wiail wish to gratify his eurio•i:y at the expense of his country, or tli.! safety of his coin:try men. In all such cases, the enforcement of the Standing Order for the exclusion of strangers is proper, acid we have never known the people, or the press, complain of it. nut if veer ther • was • case in which such a proreeli:4 was wanton and unnecessary, it appears to u. to he the pr. brie Oise. We know no one good eitd that it cntil I rtswer ; hut we know one evil that it is calculated to notie. The character and cenduct of the persons sinnect ed with the public press have been grood% aspersed, and en opportunity has been, in a great measure, lost, of correcting the errors of those who may li ire been disposed to the misreprese mai ion. But, how ever strung this conviction is upon our mind, and however conscious we feel, that, were we to publish nine-tenths of what we have learned, as having passed in the I louse during the exclusion, we should not offend against the spirit of the order, or even of the reason on which it was enforced, yet we should be sorry to Incur the suspicion of dituesprct to the House of Commons; neither du we choose to cam. mit ourselves with such an adversary as Mr. WINDHAm. Without, therefore, entering into detail, we shall content ourselves with merely noticing the names of the speakers and the result. —The result was indeed high!y honourable to the House, and to all parties in it. Mr. SHERIDAN stated the case with • delicacy and moderation that could not ruffle ev. n • feather in the wig of the most learned Beuclier of Lincoliee-Inn ; and upon an assurance from Sir Jon% ANsTRuTitER, that the obnoxious bye-law had been made incon siderately, and that it was the intention of the Beochers to rescind it, he couseoted to withdrew his motion, upon an understanding that the Beitchcri would tarry their intent into execution. lu the short drbite which lock plum on !b► subject, Mr. CROKER and Mr. S'ELPIik.NS , strongly supported Mr..!SHERIDAN. The ATTORNRY and tiouctroa-GaslitAl. spoke against hie. We have received American Papers to the eoth of last month. Mr. blacom's Non-Importation Hill has passed the House of Itepresentatives, by a majority of V. It was at the Ante of these papers in the Senate, and some of the papers assert positively that the majority orscrld be against it. Another measure has been introduced into the Legislature, for authorising the President to order the armed ships and veotels of the United States to convoy all ships loaded with produce, the growth of America, to any port where ordeot and decrees are not in force against American commerce.— They are to allow search fir enemies' property and cotrabosui pods by eational armed ships of belli gerents, but not by privateers and letters of marque vessels; and are to resist the ceptute of any vessel, unless-hating on board artiel coatrsband of war, or enemies' property. The merchant vessels are to arm on the same conditions, and give bond for their But hostile as these prociMiugn may seem to be. there is a decided change in the sen.iments of the people. The great majority are for an - adjustment of the differences with Great Beit4in. Two of the States, Massachusetts, and New 'Voile, have payed resolutioi.s, in which they deprecate the idea of a war with Great Britain ;*iu which, defeat, they say, would entail disgrace and ruin, and success only subject the United States to the same slavery with the eittingnialiKl republica of Venice, Switzerland, and Holland. We have :itcyivert cove farther sets of Paris Papris to rite anal entli : they are nearly filled veith the Minutes of the Evidence on the Inquiry into the Expedition to the Scheidt.
