ruirmtre nod expensiVe war by the plan of Mr. The,Sipking Fund established by him was the oa!y•one that had succeeded to any great ex tent ; the- que,tion then was, whether enough had nOt been done for posterityand whether thi9 was not- a proper time foi some change of ':ysfetn ? Tlie plan was by no means a breach of public faith ; so far from it, Stocks seemed rather to have risen since it was proposed: The plan proposed by the' Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson),'ltc looked upon to be completely visionary. Mr. FirsKtssol.4 explained. . . Sir RosraTUaaort thought it rather a singu lar way of paying a compliment to the memory of Mr. Pitt, by saying, that he had paid offtlebt to the amount of 212,000,000/. at the same time that is left 600,000,000/. Tha;Sinking was tire greatest boon he had conferred upon this country ; and he would agree to no plan that could endanger its operation. He thought that every retrenchment should be shade in the ex pcniliture ,of the country before they risked a change of system. • Mr. lE • RNEY said, that. after the able .state ‘ ment of the' Hon. Gentleman . opposite (Mr. Hits kisson), he did not feel disposed to trouble the Howie at that time. What he desired' was, that the speech of the Hon. Gentleman should be al lowed time to work its way. This was not a time for deciding upon the. subject. It was only now beginning to be . understood. The Chancellor of the Exchequer would forgive him if he said that he never yet met a man who understood it. It was not• his intention: to discuss it now, but when, the Bill was brought in, be should feel it his duty to / take the sense of Parliament upon it. He al- Ways felt that the time must Cffille when they would find it #necessary to touch the' Sinking Fund 'and whatever others "laity think, he knew no words in which to express his sense of the present pl an , ex4ipt breach of faith. Ire did oppose the Act of, 1802, and for the last five years,• had been for Counnittees.to examiue into the Finances of the Country, but it was refirxd even within the last eight months by the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). The present was, in his mind, the strongest measure ever pro 'posed in Parliament. It was said, that the Act of 1792 was not violated by it ; but even admitting that there was no violation of justice, was there policy in it i lie believed it to be one of the most tatal measures ever attempted upon public credit. • No temporal), advantage was worth having, if it was to be gamed by the disturbance of public credit. - - Mr. floor. explained. Mr. PoNsONRY wished that the Report should not he brought up at so early a day as that 'in tended. mr. ,FITZGERALD supported the measure. Sir R.

IVe stated yesterday, in the following announce 4.nent, it) a Second Edition, the very intpoilant . fart, that aTreaty,offenOve and defensive, had been Itigned and, ratified between the Emperor of Rus ,, SiA and the King of PRUSSIA fjoyeruntent have received dispatches from Lord CATII cAuT, of the Cth lust. which confirut all the accounts of the suvcessfal adVance of the itussion forces, and said the INtPOlt- TA srr E.,NC E that a TRLA . TY, orrt;Ns t ivz and UL FLN 61M, had been signed and ratified between the Emperor of RU NV A and the NI ug of PausstA. " 04 Lord CATIMAIIT writes from the Emperor of RUSSIA'S Head-quarters at Kalitch." "This event consolidatds the interests and views of Russia and Pru3sla Ia a manner the most effec . tun] for the siipport of the common cause, and the frustration Of the projects a BuorntrAßTE, for not merely the Sovereign, but the people of the Prussian ' ' 'itates are now united lima and hand With their deliverers; and, from this union, a mi !nary force may be put forth, which it will be ut terty impossible for any army BUONAPAUTT can now raise to make a stand against in Germany. Another most interesting fact we learn from our private , letters, which state, that the Great Personage lately arrested on the Continept, and who has been,the subject of so much speculation in various journals, is no other than the Prince Royal of BAVARIA. 'nth i11t13t60114 and patriotic Prince has, been long known 8.3 an inveterate enemy of BUONAPARTIG. About two years ago, he was put under arrest, in consequence of being discovered . to 'Jaye formed a plan for a new Confederation of the German States, in, opposition to the Confederation of the Rhine;and with a view to fescue his country front its degradation. He at that time bowed a clear insight into all the objects, views, and motives of the oppressor of Europe ; and would probably have experienced all the severity of his vengeance, if it had not been for the intercession of his fa ther the King of BAVARIA. one of the most ab ject, and, at the same time, Most powerf u l of BLIONAPARTE'S vassals. The immediate cause of the Prince's arrest, in the present instance, is said to have been a letter he addressed to his Fat4er, on the disasters of the French esuipaign in. Russia, entreating his Majesty, in the most pressing terms, to abanzlon the iniquitous eaunC of France, for that which had in view the liberation of Europe, How IIvoNA PARTE became possessed of this letter is not stated the fact is, however, pretty well ectablished, that be not only obtained a copy of its contents„ but caused its-author to he arrested and placed in con . fincment, as the only means of guarding against the Prince's daring enterprising spirit, " which," says the letter we have seen on the subject, " at a crisis like the present, would be a host against him." If this statement, Which comes from good au thority, is to be relied upon; it is obvious that the spirit of resistance in Germany to the tyranny of BuoNanarr. is even more extended than we had beh• foreiniagined. There`can be little doubt that the Prince Royal represented the sentiments of a large part of the people of Bavaria, and thus we find, from'. one !extremity of Germany to another, that the opportunity it eagerly seized'to make a great, and, we trust, a successful draft to throW Off . the degrading and debasing thraldom 'in . which they: have been held by the would-he-tyrant 'of Europe, We. gave yesterday .a short .extract fions the Journal of the Operations of the Russian Armies, from the 7th to the 10th 'nit: The greater part of it is now of no importance, but the following. ,brief details from it, as stating some hew circum stances, will be found interesting. pre.3.....AdJatant-General TSClrtiiNti ,: afft!P, with his cle• tAchment, has taken possession of the -villages of Scho cban, Friedland,' and Platow. Oar view:ions troops were every where met by the inhabitants with joy, and ac knowledged as their deliverers. Prince ScilwAarsr..xennif li corps was, by our notions, formd to reitreat ; and on the sth of February, General Munaatiowirscil took possession of the city of Warsaw. On his arrival at the village of Wilanow, he Was met by the Deputies of the Cor porations of the Nobility, Merchants, and Clergy, headed by the Prefect, Sub-prefects, and Mayors of the city,. who pre sented to,hini bread and salt s and the hays of Warsaw; Franuatty 10. 7 Count WrrroctssTni., states, that oa the 4th and Gth instant, the enemy made two sallies frOtil Dant zic, on our position at Olive, but were both times driven back. Their loss In the field was very considerable in killed and of prisoners, we took two Colonels, 22 officers, and about 300 privates. On the ath of February, in cOnsequenee of a disposition made by Count WITTGENSTEIN, the troops under the Com, 'UMW of Mnior-Geperal Co,:nt Stevens marched within range of cannon-shut of the fortress of Piliau, and threw up batteries. Count Stevetts in the name of the C. , •".iog of Prussia, summoned the Conmuutdant of the town to sturender. 'The French Ge neral Casret.t.e, on the declaration of the Catumanding Offi cer of the Prussians, troops, who formed a part of the garrison, that, in case of resistance, he shout 1 act in favour of the Ras shins, and as eight hundred inhabitants were seen realty to support this deefation, called . a Council .of War, ,end en the 7th February signed a Convention, in cousequenae whereof, on the girinst. our troopi took possession ,of Mau, under the loud rejoicing;of the inhabitants. A private letter from Gottenburgh states, that 5,000 of the Swe,dish troops had sailed for Pome- , multi. More troops were also collecting, and it is understood, that the transports now colJected at Ynrmonth will sail immediately for the Baltic, to be employed in this expedition. We are authorized to state, that the paragraph which appeared in a Morning Paper of Wednes day, respecting a deputation of Merchants lute. rested in the trade between this country and Ame. rica, having attended at the Board of Trade on the preceding (lay, to obtain information upon certain points, is totally unfounded ; and, consequently, that no such answers vere given, no cotomuni cation of the nature therein alluded to having taken place. Yesterday, about 11 o'clock, the Prlir= Rs- GENT left town for Windsor, for the purpose of consulting with the Qussiq as to the arrange ments for .the funeral . of the Duchess of BRuss. WICK. His Royal Highness returned to Carlton house in tile evening. ungAIIICS ON THE INDIAN PROPOSIIIONS. ---- , .
