Straw was strewed before his door for the first time since his' illness; Such is the rancour of party, that even the merit of Mr: WILPERFORCI, respe6ting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, a measure which the Opposition Prints so triumphantly applaud; cannot exempt hitri from daily abuse in those Prints. As for Mr. I.,,isL eku.st, he must never expea to be forgiven by the Writers alluded tb; because he was the warm and unalterable friend of Mr. PITT. Mr. CANNiNG I 9 great fault, in the opinion of the Opposition Writers, seems to be his talents for poetry; but they have reason to pride themselves on their superiority to that Gentleman in one poetical quality, as they excel him very much upon the ground 'of fiction.

So much bas been said lately of Negotiations, and the teports which have been circulated are so contra= di&ory, that it is difficult to know what to believe. It is, however, generally believed that the Nego tiations are not so far advanced as was believed. — They say, that the Emperor NAVOLEON, always anxious ,to employ all the means in his power to prevent the qffusion of blood, had ptoPosed Peace to the EMPEROR : 'of RUSSIA and the KING Cf . PIIUSSJA, on very moderate terms ; that. theytwo Sovereigns replied,' that they Were ready to treat, but that their connexions with Great Britain' and Sweden did not permit them to a& without the participation of those Courts. It is said that France did not oppose this proposition, declaring that she wished for a General Peace. The principle of Compensations was then proposed as the basis.of Peace, and some general Articles were even discussed; all these propositions have, been communicated to tlie Courts of London and Stockholm, but their an swers have not yet been received. The letters from Poland say, that these Communications have been made through the medium of Aids-de , Camp, but that no diplomatic Conferences have yet taken place. Baron ST. VINCENT, who represents the Sovereign whose mediation has been accepted, had been made acquainted with what has passed; but it is feared that the intrigues of the English Minister will frus trate the efforts of the 'friends of humanity. _ _ STUTGARD, MAY 20. — The intelligence which our Court has received from Silesia state, that in consequence of the want of ammunition, the-Corps employed in the Siege of Neisse has been com pelled to suspend' the bombardment of the For-' tress; but as supplies have been received from Schweidnitz, the siege Wilt be continued with the greatest aaivity. We are informed that the Diet of Hungary have demanded the Establishment of a New Constitution,. : conformable to the enlightened state of the present age.. PARIS, MAY 26.—Letters from Malta, dated the 24th of April, confirm the account of the disem barkation of •the Englishfin;Egypt, but add, that they had afterwards sustained some reverses, and that they bad sent to Sicily \ for immediate succours. Nine, MAY. English Frigate, which has been cruiting off this Port for some days, made an attempt last night to cut out a Genoese Macre. =About eleven o'clock at night four Boats; from the Frigate, each with 25 men, attacked the PUlaere. —They were received as we _are accustomed to receive the English in every part of the Empire. The Polacre was so well defended, that ; .after an adkin of two hours, one of the Boats \ was sunk, and the 3 others were forced to retreat towards the Fri - gate. One of the men who was on board the Boat which sunk, 'was saved by the Crew of the Polacre. BRITISH INSTITUTION, PALL-MALL.

RioT AT tiAt.irAx---On Monday evening last a treat number of deluded people assembled - oppo site the White SWan Inn, in Halifax, where the giro Committees for Messrs. WILBERFORCE and Listzt.tEt Sit, but nd apprehensions of a serious nature were entertained. On the following evening they assembled again, and increased in numbers pro, digiously, so that, before ten O'clock they foribed a very large mob and paraded the streets with an effigy.-Before eleven they began to 'coMMit, a&s of violence, broke the windoWs of several .respea able Gentlemen, and then dispersed. On Wednes day the Officerii of the Police applied. for further assistance ; accordingly from 6o to 7 . 0 special Con- Stables were sworn in, and an express sent to Leeds for military aid. 'II'S .wasimmediately granted, and a detachment of the Inniskillings arrived about One o'clock on Thitesda . V morning. A large collec tion of the populace took place also on Wednesday and,Thursday evenings, principally young people, bat without Committing any riotous aLig except abuse; however, through the vig ilance of the police, aad the public no t ice given to the inhabitants not tb :be out of their houses a ft er n i n e ',o'clock it the evening, together with the security afforded by the Military, the peace of the town is now perfeCtly restored. tiIIJ oi , taA.--=-As CATALAN! is toe ttmch indiS posed to perform, the Coroic Opera of II Principe'ile.

SOMERSET, &c. • .• • t , • • :• It May be interesting to e . a'survey:ef the con r fending prunes before the, commencement of the dreadful contest Which, has. ,probably 'ere now de cided• the. fate Of the Continent of Europe. The following Account has been transmitted to us by a Correspondent The left w,ing of the French. main Army is , , stationed on tne rsogat, and its position reaches over Elhingen, Braunsburgli; 41Ong the left s'hOre of the Passarge, up to Gutstadt. The centre is. placed somewhat in the rear, round Preussisch Holland, Liebstadt, and Mohrungen. From Gutstadt the Arniy stretches itself en poteitce above Allenstein, and .the right wing maintains, above Ortelsburgh,, a . communication with the left wing of the Army of Marshal MassENA, whose right is on the Bug, andj from thence to the mouth of the Narew. The left . ' wing of the French has,in its whole front along the Passarge, a number of entrenchments and batteries, by way of covering. Before the centre and the' right/wing are vast forests and morasses, so that an , attack on , this side cannot - be made without great difficulties. To provide against accidents, there is. behind, between the Passarge and the•WeichSel, an immediate position on the Drewentz, behind which magazines have been established. • " Of the Allied Army, the right wing is' for Med by the Prussians ; this wing is stationed by theHaff - ; and is stretched along the right shore of the Pas 'sarge to Wormdit. The advanced gkiards are at this point separated by nothing but the river ; which, at a small distance from the mouth, is narrow, .and iii many places so shallow as to be waded over by de- • serters. The territory occupied by the PrOssians has hitherto been rather spared. An excellent 'spi rit is prevalent in this corps, which 'is composed of troops who were not present at the engagement •, in Saxony, and of the relics Hof the great A7my.—; • It will one day be known what this corps has effea ed during the last six months, what It has •Suf- fered, and with what firmness it has contended.. With its destiny. The position of the Russian army beginS at Worrndit, and is stretched over Heels burgh, Bartenstein, and Schippenbeil. In the last place are the. magazines, from which principally the Prussians receive their forage. This Country has suffered e*ceedingly. The Russian Army 'has an- advanced gUard before its right wing, its centre, and its left wing. - Hettmann PLATow commands the last wing, and has pushed his parties even to Ortekburgh, where, latterly, frequent skirmishes have taken place, while, in every other part, there has prevailed a sort of armistice. Since the arrival of the Emperor ALEXANDER in Prussia, it appears that a considerable corps of Russians has been sta tioned not far from the Narew ; this has probably occasioned the movements of MA SENA: " Besides the leading Armies of the 'hostile Powers, there is to be noticed on the part of the : French, the corps besieging Dantzic, under Marshal: LEFEBVRE. It consists-of French Poles, and Baden troops. Further, the corps . betbre Colberg, of French, Italians, and the German contingent troops. In'Silesia under Prince JEROME, are the Bavarians and Wirtemburghers. Here the Fortresses of Neisse; Cosel, Glatt, and Silberberg, are Still to -be :con queled. Betwixt the Elbe and the Eastern Ocean; an army of observation is colle&ing together; under' Marshal BEtYNE ; it is 'to consist of rTha;chmeil i Spaniards and Frenchmen. Another army of ob-; servation 'stands on the boundaries of Italy and Ger many, and is connected with another corps . in Dalmatia." • •-•— In the year 1760, Breslati, the fortifications of which the French are now deincilishing, 'Was besieg ed by 50,000 Austrians, under the Command,of .the lebrated LAtipottx. The garrison consisted of no more than 3000 men, and there . were, 99c)0 prisO 7 tiers in.the town : but, notwithstanding these disad vantages; General T A UENT ZI EN, father . of the -Pre sent Prussian General of thatmaine, successfully, de l . fended the place, LAtfooni, iMpatient'at his navy, declared, that. if the Prussian General com pelled him to storm the town, " he would not spare the infant in the womb." To this barbarOUs sum mons, Tito4wrztEig replied, " 1 am not with child, neither ((re any of my soldiers . : I shall hold out us long as 1 can." At the conclusion of the peace, TAUENTZIEN was , aPpoitited . OoVernor of Breslau, where he died at a vey advanced age. A monument was ereeted to his memory, which the French have ordered to be respe&ed. The Oasis on which it r' stands has been leVelled, and the spot iS . to . he called ' Tauerztzien's Place. It is near the 'Schweidniti Gate. . . It affords us great satisfaaion to beenabled to in form-. our readers, that the command of the Allied Army is definitively conferred on .General BEN . IG EN. This has'been (lane in a manner which great ly enhances the high honour so; bestowed. The, ernperor ALEXANDER, after expressing in ,General Orders his entire approbation of the condua of General BENIGSEN, and of the high sense and opi bion which he entertains of his talents and his ser vices, orders it. to be notified to the Artily, that the supreme command is vested in that Otlicer, - and that all dispatCheS are to be .transmitted to, as well as Orders received from, him. We trust that the issue' .Of the contest on . the . other side of the Vistula will amply justify this exalted confidenae. Another great fire has happened in the West of England t the yiljage of Finish, near Langport, in Soniersetshire, is almost totally destroyed; scarce any house is left INA 'the Parsonage. It was with.great diliculty that the town of Langport escaped.

By a subsequent Act of. the 3d Geo. 11. the. Freemen were to swear, that they had been Freemen twelVe calendar months pre vious to such'Eledion, and for, the last six months had been inhabitants. It further provided, that three persons:yere to be, ele6ted .by the majority of. the votes 'of the Freemen, as Common Council for each Ward, and these three were to 'fill up the re-, maining vacancies.
