It has been stated in some of the Public Prints, tifat Mr. PITT was in town for two days during last week ; but this account is perfeeily erroneous, as he has neither been in town, or in_ the, neighbour hood of it, for the last three months.

Not less than /62 men had been landed from diff2rent ships, and admitted into the-hospital appointed for the reception of patients labouring under contagious disorders. Of these, eleven had died on shire, and three after they were put on board their respe4ive ships. The remainder were in a _ • - convalescent state. It is remarked as a singular t circumstance, that from on hoard American ships ply twelve persons were received as patients dur ing the same period.

Father FLYN, a Catholic Clergyman, went into a boar, and the whole 'line of boats rowed in pr-cession along-side the: Hussar: the Prisoner, the Clergyman, Provost Marshal, and two seamen from each boat then went ion board.

In Paris there is never any complaint agains.: the depredations of what are here called the Resta-re-Ilion Men. The reason is, that. the Surgeon§ find sub jeds enough for dissediOn,„io the bodies of those persons Who die in the hospitals, arid which are always given up . 'for that purpose. A similar policy' is so far . from being observed amongst us, that before a Patient can be admitted into the Hos pital, security must be given for the expences of burial in case of the person dying. The superior policy of the French Hospitals saves both the ex_ pence of the burial, and of the clandestime resur- , redion. Balloons were justly considered as very extraor dinary things at starting, and people were very curious to seethe process offilling them. But that process. being :now so generally known, the trade of an Aeronaut will be no longer very profitable, for as soon as the machine,clears.the walls or' railings by which is is surrounded, the, man who stands outside. can see as much of it as he who iays his money, .It is not, therefore, surprizing, that the subscription for 6ARNERI r s ascension . should have failed at Bristol, Mr..

EVERY Person well affeaed to the .Country must' wish the Peace to last, provkled it ian be maintained with Honour to ourselVes and without a sacrifice of Interests and Advantages which more thpn out weigh the blessings we derive from The present is a new, and a most impor,taut situa tiori ofihings—one not less critical, not less con. nede-d—with the future Interests' of our Country, than that state of War, from Which we hive • so lately emerged. A Treaty. may be signed-- 7 :the, forms of Diplomacy may be regularly observ,e4-.. but if a pacific disposition does not 'prevail between the subscribifig Parties, thereat benefits of 'Peace will not be obtained.. No man will doubt the sin cerity of His Majesty's Ministersin the conclusion of the Treaty with France- 7 —nay, the complaint against them was, that, in their love of Peace they' trusted too much to thepacific dispositions on the part of those with 'whom they-had cOncluded the Treaty. But have we seen any such disposition in the - Go.' vernment of France ? Scarcely - one month has pas.., sed since the signature of the Preliminaries of Peace, which -has not been attended with the adoption of measures, on the'part of the French:Government, calculated - to excite the just . jealousy -and, appre hension of this Nation. • • But we haie been.lately led more particularly to state, and to repeat, these opinions, from the - tan warrantable condua of BONAPARTE towards the People of STvitzer/and—i People 'interesting to every British heart, from the simplicity of their Manneri, the independance of their Principles,..the reetitude of their Conddt . duringithe War—th e in juries they have sustained—:and, above. all, from. the new 'Tyranny with which they are threatened. —lf feel thus interested for them as Men—as EtcoList-IN,TE—as Friends, to our Country, are. theie nor still higher considerations which call upon us to interfere for the preseivatiOn of their. Inde. pendance, and for the purpose of eliecicing the am-, .bitious career of the- First Consul ? 'lf we do. not feel this, we must be prepared, ,to say that BONA. PART E is at full liberty to annex one Nation, which . is sufficiently weak or pliable, to France—to dic tate Laws to another which is_ not quite so obse„ quiousto- interfere in the Administration of a third, where. he cannot yet publicly interpose— and, in short, to continue and - eXtend this. system of Controul to such a degree, as, in area, `to bring every surrounding Nation under his Dominion. We are- sure that neither His Majesty's Ministers, nor the _People of the British Empire; will subinir to this. • The Revolution. of . Frapce has shook ,to its .four; dation the antient Balance of Power in Europe— , but are we prepared to say that no such thing shall exist in future ?---LAre . we ready to disclaim any connexion with the affairs of the Continent ? Ilave we made up -our minds tacitly to witness the ag , grandizement of Fra nce by the subjugation of every neighboitring:State F—lf.so, let us look to our own safety in a way in which we never have before con templated it—let us surround our Island with CtuiZers and let us become an armed Nation ! T.ficre is,uo other security, in that case, against the daring pro - jeas of the First Consul. , ' But---No!-=His . Majesty's Ministers will sheW the same sincerity in the preservation of Peace,. which they evinced in the conclusion of, it.,, 'Where' conciliation can be effeilual, without a-sacrifice of our honour and our interests, they-will conciliate but they will not ciuietly suffer - 80 - NAPARTE stray the Independance of Switzerland, after having himself expressly guaranteed it in the •Treaty: QED Luxteville—they 'will not suffer him, in any case, by a virtual infringement of the Peace which he, has made with us, to oppress and subdue other Nations, or' to aggrandize,his power, so as to increase the danger to ourselves. They know well the value of :Continental Connedion Ito Great Britain.—BONAPARTE knows it too—and every step he takes has for its objea to deprive us of this advantage; in the importance of which to this Country even Mr. Fox will agree with us, unless indeed he has lately learnt at the Tbuilleries: a new lesson on the Politics of Europe! To favour the projet to which w,e have alluded, BONAPARTE trusts that he has obtained the friend ship, certainly the Neutrality of the 'Courts of. Petersburg,' and of Berlin—that they will be quiet, perhaps glad speftator3 of all his proceedings—The Indemnities were carved out as gulch with a view to conciliate and. gratify them, as to humble and 'WeitittPtti'e House of ilitstria, our Natural Perhaps he is not altogether • mistaken.

Mmtcorr to -the First Consul, in con. sequence of this proceeding, Rumours have been spread of the First Consul's', insisting -upon the alteration of our taws respelling ' the Press—of his requiring the removal of the French Emigrants from our Territories, and of other demands, the coealiance with which well@ be equally incompatible ,with the justice and honour of our Country.- 7 -Aye %eve! belieyed . that, even it!, the arrogance, and intoxication of 'P''Ower, such de mands could have been intended to be seriously in sisted uptin ; but there might be points made. for the purpose of being yielded•to the success of others of a more pradicable nature--they might be ques. tions thrown out to amuse, while the real plan was to proceed, with respeft to Other Nations, in the system of interference and cOntroul, of fraternity 'and subjugation. We are not without hopes that fair representa:. ~..tions and remonstrances may have an efrea—but we ather hope than expe - S—and if circumstances rte. ,s essarily,lead even, the cruel alternative of War with France, the known dispositions of His Ma jesty's Ministers furnish 'us with the best security that ale War will 'be undertaken by the People or Empire With rdour,..and persevered in with firmness.--. We know that while real Peace was to be maintained; consistently with - our own honour, the objett of Ministers was •to adhere to it--but •they will not suffer the COuntry - to be' Cc conquered •itl Peace l"—they will not permit thernselves to bc 'deluded' by rhE `name, when they cannot obtain the thing ; and : they Must know that the result even of an unsuccessful War would not, in all probabilityi be more fatal to us, than the completion of that systern, on the part of, Fravce, of Which we have spoken—which would endanger our dearest interests, and perhaps our very existence itself.
