Mr. Mutes, from the India Board, presented, pursuant to order, the copy of a letter of Sir J. Shore, and robes papers. They were ordered to be on the table. The several estimates of the army and navy were laid before the House, and on motion of Mr. Huskisson, it was ordered, that an address should bet.resented to His Majesty with the estimates. hlr. Alexander brought up the report of the Committee, agreeing to grant a supply to His Ma jesty, on which the question being put, it was agreed to, semis, contradteenle. Isle. ALEXANDER then moved, that the same si"ot:lii he taken into consideration in a Committee 1,1 supply on Monday next. Mr. GREY rose, and said, he wished to know briber the Honourable Gentleman intended to persevere in going into the Committee on Monday next ? He had not made up hie mind to oppose it, but could not help entertaining some doubts of its propriety under the present circumstances. the Chrneellrer of the Exchequer being Assent. It was his %isle, that the public business should be pie viou.ly put into some satisfattoey train, for he donbted notch whether they would be justifiable in voting sway the public money, before any efficient arrangements had taken place. Lord CASTLEREAGH, in answer, said, that • . whatever doubts the Hen. Gendesnan might. at present, entertain, he WAS inclined to believe, that he would not feel himself called upon to press them oft the House on Monday nest. He was authorised to I state,. for the information of the House, that it was His Majesty's intention immediately to take such steps as were neces'ary foe the formation of a new.; Administration, and he had no hesitation in affirm ing, that a Chancellor of the Exchequer would be appointed without delay. In the mean time, as was Ilse usual custom, Ws Majesty had entntsted the seals of the Exchequer to the Lord Chief Jus tice of the King's Bench. The public service would suffer inateiiaily, unless the preliminary steps were t iken for expediting the supplies, and AS the Hon. Gi ntleman would harelt eft his power, in various stages, to al,jea to ti e'supplies being granted, if he thought prooer. tkreNoble Lord conceived, that the business might be ipMiteeded in on Monday. Mr. FOX utaetstfipd his Honour..ble Friend's ohjetlion to be, not 'merely that the Chancellor of the Eicheqiuy was.-absent, as that event might have taken plate on 'efifferent, and very trifling causes; but, that the' e'was, in tail, no Chancellor of t' e Exchequer. or Fisst Lord of the Treasury, who ould he responsible fie tlicepplication of such sup plies as fn'ght br grassed.

FORLIGN INTLLL.tuff.xcE. lIAMBURuH NIAIL. scnciESsattnelN, DEC. 19. Before the Emperor Napoleon left this place, he published, on the 27th, the following Proclamation to the army : " sec lElll—Peace between me afid tbe Emperor of Aus tria is signed. You have, in this late season of the year, made two campaigns, You have performed every thing I ex. peeled from you. I am setting out to return to my Capital. I have promoted and distributed rewards to those who have disiinguisheil themselves most, I will perform to you every thing I have promised. You have seen that your Emperor has shared with you all dangers and fatigues; you shall likewise see him surrounded with all that grandeur and splendour, which becomes the Sovereign of the first nation in the world. In the beginniug of the month of May, I will give a grand festival at Paris: you shall all be there ; and we shall then see, whether we arc called by the happineas of our country, end the interest of our glory. " Soldiers, during the three months which are necessary fur your return to France, be the example of all armies; you have now to give examples, not of eourege and intrepAity, but of strict discipline. May my Allies have no more to complain of your behaviour. Conduct yourselves, en your arrival in that sacred territory, like children in the bosom of their faiiii!? ; my people will conduct themselves tOW3flii you, as tbcy must de toward: their heroes and their defenders. - " Soldier:, the thotight that I shall see you all, in lets than half a year, assembled round my palace, is pleasing to my heart; and I feel, beforehand, the most delightful emotions We will celebrate the memory of those who, in these two cam paigns, have fallen in the field of honour. The world shall see that we are ready to follow their example; and, if necessary, to do still mote than we have done against those who attack our bestow, or surer themselves to be misled by the gold of the eternal enemy of the Continent. " Sthusinbeutin, Dee. 27. (Signed) order of the Emperor, " Major-General Marthal BERTIIIER." The Emperor, at the same time, likewise pub lished the following Proclamation : " Inhabitants of Vienna! " I have signed a peace with the Emperor of Austria. As am about to return to my capital, I must express to you' the esteem I entertain fur you, and the sataaction I have felt at your conduct, during the time yes wets ender my laws. I have given you an example, which hitherto has had no parallel in the history of nations—ten thousand m e n of your national guards have remained armed, and have guarded your gates; your whole arsenal has continued in your power, while I have followed the uncertain fortune of war. I have tomtit to your honour, your sincerity, lour integrity, and you have just Med my confidence. --- " Inhabitants of Vienna, I •know that you consider that war as blameable, which a Minii,tish,devoteill to a foreign poweri has kindled on the Cintinent. Your Sovereign is inflamed of the conduit of that Minister; he has, in consequence, &Sod entirely according to the great qualities which distiuguish him; and I hope, that hereafter, happier days will arise for you, and for the Continent.

Marshal BERBRIER. • 44 I t 110,4,2" The plans of the Neapolitan Court, for the t fence of the kingdom against any hostile iniiao are carrying into execution with the utmost eirtlir tion. Three camps are forming, one on the Trout°, the second at St. Germano, and the third at Jeaho, between the two roads from Rome and Abruzzi. In the mean time, great desertion prevails among the Neapolitan recruits, who are all flying. •lENN A, DEC. 2d. We learn, that the Emperor Alexander, previous to his departure for Russia, sent orders to his Ge nerals, is the !crap°litan territory, to evacuate Ira:), and re-embark for Russia. TIMM MAYII, JAM. 3. The Eleaoral Arch-Chancellor has arrived at from Munich, . Ratisbon. The %Virtemburgh Newspaper states, that npon the request of the Austrian Emperor, Baron Thugut was permitted to be present at the conferences at Presburgh ; from whence it is inferred, that even a peace betvv:er. France and England was an objen rf the deliberations: Baron Thule' haring before con• the rnociations with t ngland, is siliposed to have been well acquainted with the subjeCt: The publit papers say, that Hanover is to be occupied by iite Prussian troops,' under certain sti- P§lations. Twelve Couriers passed through Munich with dispatches, announcing the conclusion of the peace at l'resburg. BERLIN. JAN. 7. I Hs Majesty has presented Lord l larrowhy with a snuff-box set with h:illiants, and his portrait, previous to his return to England. General Grutterheim also received some presents, but of less value. tiAtiovaa, JAN. E. In a few days, all the English troops will leave this quarter by detachments, and march towards the Elbe and the Weser, to be stationed in the neigh bourhood of Stade, Harburg, and Bre-nen. The greatest part will have left us by Sunday next. ut.st, Dec. 30. This day the first column of Russian troops ar rived here from Augsburg. They have been sup plied with provisions by the inhabitants ; several of whom have undertaken to prepare viattals for fifteen or twenty men. After Marshal Duroc had obtained the consent of the Eleetor of Bavaria to the marriage of the Princess with Prince Beauharnois, the Empress Jo sephine paid a visit to the EleCtor, thanked and embraced him with evident emotion, and assured him, that the marriage of her son wi.h his amiable daughter, would, in a political point of view, pro duce the most agreeable consequences for Bavaria, France, and Italy. lATISIOS, JAM. 3. We are assured that Austria, according to the peace of Presburg, will, in consideration of the cession of Venice and Tyrol, with its passessions in Suabia, receive the Eleaorate of Saltzburg, with the ri-devant Bishopric of Bertholdsgaden. Besides the Tyrol, the Eleetor of Bavaria is to receive the Bishoprics of Treat and Brixen, with Lindau, Tet nang-Koningseck, Rothenfels, the Margraviate of Burgau, the City of Augsburg, and t►e Bishoprics of Eichstadt and Passau; w:,ile, on the other hand, Bavaria is to cede its territory in \Vurtzburg to the EleCtor of Saltzburg. MOVICH, DEC. 30. The Emperor Napoleon entered this city about one, yesterday morning. He came through Passan on the 23th ; that place was illuminated. He alighted here, at the ileflorsl residence, attended by Prince Murat, and General Duruc. To-mot row, the Bavarian cannon, taken by the Austrians, about a hundred years since, will be brought into this city, with great solemnity. This artillery. found in the arsenals of Vienna, has Leen presented to our Elcetor by Napolcon. JAN. I. This morning, the Fleaor, accompanied by he ralds, and a corps of the civic cavalry, was pro claimed King, in all the public places of this city. This day the Emperor Napoleon has invited the Diplomatic Corps. We are informed, that the new King of Suabia will come here to pay his respeas to the Emperor. This morning the Em peror Napoleon, accompanied by the Elector, and a numerous retinue, rode through this city. This evening, there is to be a general illumination. The report, that Napoleon will visit a great German Coon, is hitherto unconfirmed. JAN. 2. The stay of the Emperor Napoleon at Munich, will only be for a few days ; he will set out with the Empress Josephine, immediately, for Paris. The French army will very soon break up, in three co lumns, from the Austrian states, for the Rhine.

This belief derived considerable' strength from what passed on Sattir,lay ewnjor is the House of Commons. Upon a mo:i .n into a Committee of Supply, this day, Mr. 'Gs, / and Mr. F. a urged the impropriety of away the public money, is sctal ignorance oi t: persons who are to have the management of is ; ;a which Viscount CAS TLEREAGN answered, he i:11 authority to state, that it was His MAJEST V's nte::- tion immediately to t,,ke the necessary steps for t: formation of a new Ministry; that he had ilo hesitation in affirming, that a Chancellor of tle. Exchequer would be appointed without delay, ar.d that, in the mean time, as was the usual custom, Ili% NIA; esre had entrusted the Seals of the Exchever to the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the COURT Of KisC:f BENCH.* We can, however, state with contidenc•, that no progress was made on Saturday towat.ds tie formation of a new Ministry. Lord HAW/LEM:kr was pressed to accept the place of Prime Minis's:, and had, in some degree, assented, or rather hesitat ed. whether he should undertake the great respon sibility attached to the situation. It is said, indeed, th it he at first gave a sort of assent; but, on cot sideration, expressed a wish to decline the honour.': was in the midst of this uncertainty the report pi:.

L who was inclined, upon consideration, to heVistt upon the subjel, be ultimately persuaded to pl: , ‘ himself at the head of a new Ministry, dice little doubt that one will be formed of the scription which we have stated. A Ministry, co posed of such materials, w.l have no hesitaticit however, to say, will be short lived. It will not sorer the expectations, the interests, or the &gene' of the country. It will not survive a fortnight, at most, three weeks.
