THIS DAY A T TW)LVL O'CLOCK. 671 0 mnium - disc. THE SUN. §OLZP4 QUIS DICERS TALSDA4I AUDIAT ? Conic)ls - - - LONDON, NOVEMBER 29, 1802. -Ws yesterday received the .Paris Papers to the 26th inst. The Moniteur contains long Dispatches ; from Rear-Admiral VlLLArtyr JOYEUof, giving *hn'aceMint •of the taking possession of'Mar;inico by the French Forces, jie lays, that the Island is in the highest state of prosperity, and adds, that the French Troops were received with demonstrations of joy, and that there was even a spontaneous illu mination upon the occasion. St. Lucia has also been taken possession of by the French. These Papers contain a Letter from VICTOR HUGU ES, dated Cayenne, Oct. xz, which gives a very flattering account of the Commerce of that Colony. There are no further accounts from St. Domingo, but if we may rely upon the accuracy of our Private Correspondent, the French Troops in that Island are reduced to 3000 men, and a general Massacre of the White Inhabitants has taken place. The Funds are 53. to. WE this morning received two Dutch Mails. Let ters from Ratisbon, dated Nov. i 6, state, that in the z7th Sitting of the Deputation of the Empire, the Direaorial Minister of Mentz communicated to it a Note from the Ministers of the Mediating Powers, containing the Modifications which they have judged necessary to make in the general Plan of Indemnities, but the nature of these Modifica tions is not stated. The French Party in Switzerland continue to ar rest their opponents. Among others, ERLACH, WATTEVILLE, and MAY of Berne have been coin mitted to prison. HAUTERIVE, Chief of Division in the Depart ment of Foreign Affairs at Paris, is employed in preparing the New Constitution for Switzerland: when it is completed it is to be submitted for approbation to the Swiss Consulta. Liz Parliamentary Campaign may now be con side red as ,fairly opened; and His MA3 EsTy's Speech from ,the Throne, with the assistance of the subse quent Debates upon it, pretty clearly indicate the Line which his Ministers purpose to pursue, and still more distindly the ground on which their Op ponents mean to rest their Opposition. If we have hitherto purposely abstained from ob.: truding on our Readers, any comment on the pro ceedings of the last week, it has been no less from a sense,,of the charge of presumption which we should have justly incurred, by attempting at all to lead the Public Opinion at such a Crisis, than from a consciousness, that towards the formation of it, our observations would have been superfluous, per haps impertinent, where such abundant and inte resting materials presented themselves. In periods so critical and doubtful, we have always been in the habit of looking forward with impatienee to the Meeting of the Legislature, which, under wise Go vernments, has never. failed to appease those anxie ties, and to assuage those apprehensions, which a state of ignorance and uncertainty is so calculated to inspire. We have then some knowledge of the real state of things, as far as prudence and duty will admit of its being imparted to us ; we have some compass to guide our judgmeot ;—and by ascertaining and weighing the sentiments of the great Political Authorities on either side, are enabled more correctly to form our own. It is to us matter of the most sincere gratifica. tion to observe, with what inconsiderable symptoms of Party virulence the new Parliament has opened its career.—This can no otherwise be explained and accounted for, than by the mutual persuasion, that the principal Leaders on either side are aluated by the same motive, though differing about the means ; that - while the one may think that the interests of Great Britain would be best promoted, and its security best established by the preservation' of Peace, the other by a renewal of the Wary that a common devotion to its real welfare is a sort of secret bond of union between both. All agree in the danger to ke apprehended from the formidable preponderance of France on the Continent, differing only as to the degree in which it should be estimated, and in the means which should be employed as its correetive. On the one side we see alarm and despondency ; on the other firmness and precau tion. The Public will best judge, under the im pression of which of those feelings it is most becoming for our Rulers and for our Representatives to aa, under the peculiar circumstances which mark the present crisis. Though His MA JEST 'S Speech has nothing in it sufficiently explicit to admit of our ascertaining the precise measures which ar6 likely to be taken, we believe that its language and tone have afforded uni. versal satisfatlion„ We trace in it an anxious desire for the preservation of the blessings of Peace ; but no less prominent is the assertion of the right, the poli cy, and the expediency of maintaining a close connec tion with the general Interests of Europe. In the ap plication of thiS—" times and occasions must teach their own lessons." Deprecating, as we do, thin- in. triguing spirit, which might dispose a more restless Government to be constantly mixing itself With Con tinental Polities, and thus wantonly ha Larding' the continuance of the tranquillity which at present/we enjoy ; we ire far from thinking that circumstances may, not occur, that might male a neglect of them, to the highest degree injurious, disgraceful, and culpable. The Minister who places too much re liance on, or attaches too little importance to, Con. tinental Alliances, does not, in our opinion, deserve the name of a Statesman. That the recent conduct of France towards Ssailt. zee/and, coupled with other circumstances, has excited a general indignation in this Country, as it probably has throughout Europe, none but the Friends and Advocates of that Government can deny. To suppose that it has not, would be to libel Human Nature. In this sentiment we have fully participated, and shall never be disposed to disavow it, till we are prepared to disown our feel. ings as Englishmen, and our sympathies_as men.. But whatever may be the Public Feeling or this oc. casion, it may surely be a serious consideration 4 how far a prudent Government could think itself warranted to ad under its impulse. There may be much to regret, where there are no rational means of prevention. A very strong Public Feeling on this subject has evidently been mistaken by some for a wish to renew the War ; which has however been completely disproved by the recent Proceed ings in Parliament, supposing, as we alWays shall, that the language of Parliament is identified with the wishes and dispositions of the People.—Possi. bly our own Sentiments on this subject may have been too strongly expressed. If we have been in an er ror, we shall find abundant allowance for it in the breast of every generous Cotemporary. In the debates which have taken plaCe on the KING'S Speech, very high-coloured pictures have been drawn, though very just ones, of the alarming aggrandizement of France, in Territory and in,Pow-. er, and of the spirit of Universal Domination which has marked its conduct. By whom will this he denied ?—But is the inference from it a just one ? The argument seems to us to make against itself; and the proof of the stupendous ascendancy (which we admit and lament,) that France has acquired on the Continent, is, to our understandings, an ad ditional reason why Great Britain alone should not attempt to counteract it.—ln those periods of our History, which have been always considered as the most glorious to this Country, does it appear that any such extravagant idea ever entered into the head of Monarch or Minister, however anxious to preserve the Balance of Power, and hostile to French aggrandizement ? But it is no small com fort to relied (as was well observed in the House of Commons) that extent of Territory is not always an extent of Power ; and France may possibly, in due time, add another instance, recorded by His. tory of a great State, which, hurried on by the in. retested and unreflecting ambition of its Rulers, at length " Mole ruit suri." We cannot dismiss this subject, without observ. ing how totally the Opponents of Government appear to have been misinformed, with respect to thefath on which they have ventured to establish charges against them. We mean particularly our Commerce, our Re. venue, and the State of our Military and Naval Esta. blishments. OUT. Commerce has newer been so flou. rishing—our Revenue never been so produtive, even in the best times of the great Minister, who laid the foundation of their Prosperity, and to whose ' breast, we are persuaded, ,their ,Improvement and Increase will afford no less solid satisfaftion than to his Successor, under whose auspices we have the happiness to experience them. Those salutary ef. fees have resulted from t h e Peace, w hi c h the one accomplished, and the other approved ; ,and which effects both united in prediding. And what have been the redudions of our Force ? None of the Regulars— only a part of the Fencible Regiments ; and both In. fantry and Cavalry remaining double to what it has ever been suffered to remain after the conclusion of any War. Even this has been condemned, as too large a Force to maintain in Peace, by some very re. speCtable Members * of the House of Commons. The Militia has been disbanded, which the termination of the War necessarily required ; but the foundation is already laid of the most formidable internal Force which this country ever yet possesSed in Peace, par.. titularly in that which has always been considered as the most constitutional. Of Sailors, it has been stated from Authority, that we had at this time near 50,000, and twice the number of Ships that were ever in commission on a Peace Establishment. Under the present circumstances it be right to add even to this strength—" to make assurance double sure ;" and we trust that few indeed will be found disposed to assent to the inexplicable pa radox, that the security of Peace must depend on the smallness of our Establishment. * Mr. liaiikes particularly.
