THE SUN. $01.104 QUI& DICERS YALSUIti AUDZAT LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY J 9, 'We have constantly stated, that it would be found that His MAJESTY'S present Ministers have taken every possible step towards the formation of a Confederacy of the Powers of Europe, in opposition to the enormousaggrandizements of France; and we have also repeatedly sta ted, that His Imperial Wes. ty of RUSSIA. went hand in hand with our Govern. meat in this affair, equally interesting to all Parties. Only two days ago, the principal Paper in Opposi. tion expressed its fiar: as to the solidity of the grounds upon which the hope of a Continental ;A ce was held out, nut only by the Ministerial Writers, but by tits Ma asiry himself, in his Speech from the Throne. It was impossible not to notice this extraordinary scepticism of the Morning Chronicle, and to ask its Editor whether he was truer, of the circumstances which led to the expec tation confidently expressed by His MAJESTY ? In his Paper of this morning, that Editor r states it to be a report current in the political circles, that ‘‘ Subsidiary Treaties with RUSSIA. and SWEDEN are in great forwardness." It this be true, we hope . that the Doubts and Fears of the :Morning Chronicle will he speedily removed.— We have alWays considered that no more than is necessary should be said about terrdiv Ne. gotiations , ; but as the above statement :is given, with some doubt of its truth, by the Editor alluded to, we think it tight to state that we have every reason to believe it to be prrfellly torrell, and that we entertain no doubt but that the next return of a Courier from St. Petersburgh will bring Ilis IM. PERIM. MAJESTY'S authority to his Minister at this Curt to conclude a Tit aATY of AtaLits.NCE and Stin',lDY . with the Court of London. Of the speci fi c Terms of this Treaty, we shall, for obvious reasons, say nothing at present ; we must, however, beg leave to state, that it will pro. bably be found to have been framed in many te. apeas upon a more efficient plan than any of the Treaties of the last War ; that is has been ne. gotiated with the most perfeet cordiality and good understanding of the two Sovereigns and their Ministers,; and that it will provide, in the most elftttuaL manner 'possible, against the Conn. quences of any interruption of this cordiality and good understanding that might be occasioned by an unexpetted change of circumstances. Oar intercourse with the Mlle of Swim Est is on the same tooting, and there believe, no reason to doubt of the most zealous co.operation of that 'Mutations young Monarch, in the Measures that may be taken for the general advantage. With resped to the Esarettoa of GEO.MANY I and the KING of PgusstA, it certainly is hardly to be expected that those Princes should be :aired in “nisnce. Of this, however, we do not quite de spair ; 4tid have the most sanguine hopes that Nrr of thetn ,at least may be induced to lay aside his tartial views, and lend his assistance to a Cause which is the zeiteral concern of Eukore, The &Irma and the Prince of Waits Packets, on th e i r vo y age t o Liihon, received so much damage, it vicletit plea of wind, that they cpuld not re turn with the Mails to this Country, which were yens. by itiv quern Charlotte Cutter, which sailed how Lisbon on the Au inst. and arrived at Milford Itiven on the 15th. The Diana'PAcket, on the iBth December, ship. pea a very heavy sca, which threw the vend on b e: bearn.cods, in which situation she remained 3 minutes before she righted. The great pressure of water swept away nearly all the starboard bul. warka, boarding nettings, *tendons, ikc. and wash. 'eal over the midship Is pound carronade ; and On use t 9th a Very heavy sea struck her on the quarter, which broached her to the wind, threw the star. buard.sitle wholly under water, the sea making a breach over her, which carried away every move able Oaf' the/tic*, forced the small boar over the stern on the humkins, and stove be: to pieces, and carried away the spritsail-yard. The PriNe Walei Packet also was snuck abs ,ft or, the 19111 December, *by an uncommon high sea, which forced her head under water to such a depth, that the fure.sail floated upon the surface. The water rushed abaft, broke the fore hatchway to pieces, stow the boat under the booms, and did other considerable damage, The Letters brought by the Qyesa Chariots fr,rn Portugal, differ considerably as to the part' which Portugal will ultimately take in the present con. test ; but it seems to be the prevailing opinion, that BotrAtAate will endeavour to compel her to follow the example of Spain, and to declare War against this Country, merely for the purpose of excluding us from her Ports.--From Spain, however, all ths 4‘• counts concur in representing that Country as being in a most deplorable situation. It was natural to sup. pose that the conduet of the Spanish Government, its a bjeft submission to the arbitrary di Cates of the Corsican, and its disregard of the interests and ho. nnur of the Country, would. excite the strongest in dignation among the People, and therefore we are in. dined to give credit to some accounts which have bun received, which state, that a very formidable party, headed by the Prince of AsToxtAs, has de termined to oppose the baleful influence of the PRINCII of PEACE, who is avowedly the creature of France. The Fever, we are happy to find, has nearly subsided in Spain ; .but the very high price of pro. visions has excited the greatest apprehension of an approaching famine. At Madrid, bread is no less than eight.pence a pound. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, by the Libbon Mail, of the date of the :7th ult. They' state, that the Fever had subsided about the loth, and that the houses were under fu. migation. For a week preceding that time the deaths were on an average two a day. A meet.. ing had taken place, at which it was agreed to open t h e i ntercourse w i t h th e shipping on the tst of Ja. !Wary. General-Fox', and the Transports with Troops which accompanied him, arrived in the Bay of Gibraltar on the 7th ult. all well.' it was the in. tendon of the new Governor to wait a few days before he utdered the Troops to disembark. We haVe received some minor Pori: journah, which, however, bring little of importance. Ac counts by the way of Holland, reiterate the state. meat, that Prussia has interposed her influence in favour of. the Independence of the Batavian Re. public. It is also said, that an Independent Neu. teal Power has submitted to the French Govern ment the outlines 'of 4 Pacific Plan, on the basis Of *Wit it is willing to become the Mediator. It is further stated, that some very severe conflins have lately taken place bet Ween the Dutch and French Soldiery, in which an Officer of the latter, of high rank, lost his life. Mr. Wllrbil AM'S Motion, which was fixed for Monday sc'nnight, is to be put riff, as Mr. PITT is desirous that the discussion should take place on that day upon the Papers respening the Spanish War. The , rapers will be laid before Parliament on Monday next. It is expeEted that there will be an uncommonly fi It attendance of Members on Monday re'nnight when the discussion takes place. It is generally understood that either Dr. MAN. NUS Strrrnt4, Bishop of Norwich, or Dr. Tom. Lttorlte PR EtYMAtv), Bishop of Lincoln, will succeed to she Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury, In ease of the promotion of the former, the Deanery of Windsor will be vacant. In the other case, that of St. Paul's, London. THE ANNIVEREARY of Uttk MAJEVLY'S DAY yesterday drew forth strong marks of aired on from a loyal People, who feel an ardent interest in whatever relates to the RoTM. FAMILY, and par. ticularly towards the illustriaus Female who has so king contributed to the dhappiness of a beloved SOVEREIGN, and afforded a Princely race,. whose existence gives additional security tt9 the best form of Government. ever known to mankind. HEE. MAJESTY has been placed in very. trying CINUIII. stances, which have enabled her to display proofs of wisdom and virtue, in the highest degree honourable to her feelings, and the charafter of her• mind. She has been t distinguished pattern o f conjugal and maternal duty and affettion,- and has always endeared herself to the People of this Country by the exemplary discretion of her public conduet, and the uniform tenor of ,leer • private vir. toes. The Anniversary of such a day - may there. fore well be a period of loyal festivity ; and it must he A l e wish of all who are attached to the British Constitution, and who admire appropriate excel. lence in elevated rank, Ifi l t our amiable Qu IEN may enjoy many happy returns a day that is the source of patriotic satisidtion thrtjughout the Em. piles Their, Royal Hight) , vies the l i ttt 'mess of WAi, as, the DUKE and I)titct.,ss of Ycat,,, with some 4( the ltoY At.

CukstEtt were conveyed from Stanmer, and depo. sited in the family burial. place, at Laughton, six miles from Lewes, in the truly respeaable style of the Nobility of former times. The hearse was pre. ceded by a long cavalcade of the Tenantry in deep mourning. The numerous carriages of the Family and Gentlemen o f the neighbourh oo d f o ll owed the hearse: The present Earl of CHICIIE4TEtt was Chief Mourner, supported by the Bishop of BIM- To L, and Lord SHY itt; I ELI), the son and son.in.law of the decea..ed Earl. The difference between, this funeral and those which are attended only by Under. takers and Servants, was marked by the most per. feet decorum, solemnity, and good o rd er .

Brigadier.Generil BECIMITH is arrived at Head. Quarters in Canterbury, to succeed Lieutenant. Colonel Bu tie u KY, as Assistant Quarter. Master General on the Staff of the Souther n District, The first Battalion of the tlith Royal Itish Re. gitnent marched from Canterbury on Thursday, morning for Dover, to embark on the same day in Transrrts, - which have been taken up fur their re. ception ; they will sail from thence to the isle of Wight, where they are to be joined by the absent Officers and men, and to wait farther orders ; their destination is said to be Jamaica:, it !may, how: ever, vary with circumstances ; the appointment of an extra number of Subalterns strengthens the con. jeCture, that they may proceed to the East, instead of the West Indies, QUEEN'S ROYAL VOLUNTESIIS.-.411 honour of MAjIISTY'S Birth.day, it was natural to sup_ pose that the Regiment peculiarly distinguished by her Royal Patronage should come forward to testify that gratitude and loyalty by which it is animated. Accordingly the two Battalions of the Queen's Royal Volunteers mustered about eleven o'clock at their respeftive Parades ; and it is with no small degree of satisfaCtion we state, that the full attend ance of the Members afforded a coMplete proof, that so far from the Volunteer System having relaxed, there wants nothing but an occasion of sufficient portance to call it into action. Tit e Tit E.—Last night at Drury.lane, Mist DoNCAN played Lydia Languish, in The Rivals, tut the first time, with great spirit and abiliry.

At Covent.garden, The &hoof of Reform again attraded a full attendance, and went off with great success. MORTON has disposed of the Copyright of his new Comedy to the Proprietors of Covent Garden Theatre, tur three hundred pounds—e . very liberal price, but which the success of the Piece tally war. rants.
