tainment of Peace, we look forward with Hope, with Anxiety, and with Delight : hilt, so far from antici pating, in the possible disappointment of those hopes, any danker to the Country, firm as we feel ourselves in • our reliance on that Spirit, that Fortitude and Energy, ivhidh identified.our Countrymen with' the last, as they cannot fail ro do with the present-Go vernment, we should blush to contemplate such a pro_ specs with a moment's anxiety. To wish for, and seven to solicit Peace, on terms not inconsistent with Security and Honour, but to be resolutely prepared for even the rem9te possibility of the other alternative ; this is surely the part at all Times be coming a wise Government and a reflecting People. From the latter the. forther can have no right to exped , confidence and support, should a spirit of pusillanimous concession mark their condud on the one band, or of unreasonableness,' impatience' and intemperance On the other. From both we believe ourselves perfedly secure—and cordially agree with Lord CASTLEREAGH in thinking, that language cal culated to inspire alarm, under any. circumstance that can occur, is unbecoming a Public Man, and might prove highly injurious to the Country, if we thought Englishmen capable of receiving any im , pression from. it. - IT is strongly' reported that the Six Ships of the Line which have been ordered immediately to sea,_ are destined for the West Indies. We cannot but applaud this vigilance in Government, which, we have no doubt, will continue tiff there is an ab solute certainty of the Signature of a Definitive Treaty. Indeed, some degree of it may even then be thought necessary. WE this morning received Paris Papers to the They contain very little that is new or interesting. The Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE has been presented to the First Consul, who received him in the most distinguished manner. The Court (,;f Vienna has determined to send Envoys to all the newly constituted Republics, and to establish sliplomatic relations with them. ut inst. inclusive. These Papers are,' as usual, perfe&ly silent with regard to the proceedings at Amiens, but there were rumours at Paris, that the Peace was aaually signed about -the end' of la/A month.. This we know. not to be zoirea; but we trust the rep - ort is onlya lit. tle premature. The French Funds were 57. f. to. c.

The late Duke of BEDFORD'S body was opened on Wednesday, when the viscera were found in a pu trescent state, precisely as the surgeon expeded. The disorder with which the Duke was afllided originated in a strain, while he was at schobl. A melancholy accident happened last night in a street called Perkins's Rents, Westminster. A large old house, inhabited by a number of poor families, suddenly fell in, about half past ten o'clock, with a horrible crash, which, at that still hour, was heard at a great distance. The unfortunate beings .who were thus buried alive, it appeared had retired to rest, among whom were many children. The people that assembled, direaed by their cries and groans; immediately set about removing the rub bish, and extricating the sufferers, so that by day light it was thought that all, or nearly so, were dug out of the ruins : some miserably wounded,. and some dead. Among the dead is the wife of a soldier in the Guards, lately returned from - Egypt, of the name of Legget : he crept out of the ruins himself, and his wife was following him, when a beam shifted its position, fell across her neck, and killed her. In the search, her husband was the first that discovered her. An old man and a child were also taken out dead. At nine o'clock this morning it was•not ascertained whether there were any more in the ruins, but it seemed the general opi nion that two or three were then missing. The wounded were carried to-'the Westminster Infir mary. It is conjedured thig'disaster was occasioned by some improVerhentsthe,ta' ndlord of the house was making in the lower part, and that the sup. ports were damaged.. It is much to be regretted that the Laws are not stridly enforced, that make the attendance of the Distrk Surveyor necessary in all cases of alteration or repair ; or to cause. such houses to be demolished, as appear from age or otherwise to to be untenantable.

THE THEATR E.—The Beggars' Opera, - which hA long been a popular favourite, is become • till more so, now it is supported by the great vocal powers of Mrs. BILL INGTON. A very numerous audience attended the representation of this Opera last night at Drury-Lane Theatre. She gave the Airs in the charaCter of Polly with her usual ex cellence. Her " Cease your fanning," was delici ously sung, and was encortd, and she supported the charader tolerably well, considering that her' chief parsuit'has•been music.

On Monday last, the Ist inst, died at Strawbei. near Columpton, Devonshire, the Right Honourable CHARLES HERVET, Earl of MOUNT. RATH, in the 78th year of his age. There is reason to hope that the Bank has at length been able to trace out the neat of felons who have been so busy of late in the forgery of their notes. The nest was formed at Bilsdow, between Binning ham and Wolverhampton, where several _persons have been taken up. Two men belonging to the Shrewsbury Mail were apprehended at the same time, as in the guard boot of the carriage was found a parcel concealed, containing forged notes. Monday night as the boat's crew of the Argeha, of 44 guns, Hon. Captain HER B ERT, were return. ing to the boat at the Barbican Pier Stairs, Ply mouth, some words ensued with several Portuguese Sailors, when a battle commenced. During the con flirt,-one, of the Portuguese Sailors slily drew his kpge, and stabbed one of the Amelia'; men in the torn andfside so desperately, that he bled profusely. During the confusion occasioned by this cruel and Unmanly . condita, the Portuguese got clear off, and secreted themselves for the night. The wounded sailor of the Amelia had his wounds dressed ; but is at present in great danger. Fortunately this morn , ing, the Police Officers discovered the Portuguese ailors, and lodged them in the Town Gaol, till it is seen, whether the Amelia's seaman recovers or not. and Published by rt4.IAM Art MIGFR SCRIPPS, (Of Horse-terry-road, Westminster) ; PA' the Paper, Letters for the Editor, Bcc, (p9O-paid), mint be addressed, PARIS, IYIARc:Ii I. 0 if THE Count de DIETZ, Hereditary PRIN C % NAssAu, and Son of the ci-devant STAnTitoLDII' Firs'` was presented on the 26th ultimo to ale Consul, who ordered that he should be treat' with the respeft due to the Brother-inAaw of °l ' .
