We received yesterday Parif Papers to the sd, No this morning the Itioniteur of the 3d inst. The 'ast Mein/tour contains some observations upon the Ir jaligmr.Pepvai,t, which, we are sorry to say, are iq the same spirit of misrepresentation that we have jto frequently had occasion to comment upon in that pricial Journal. The article beg ns with stating from authority, that the Prosecution was not instituted by 'desire the V tench Government, and that the French 44114540 r was pot present at the'!'trial. Whether 014 1)014:41.1r ' ltdiettrleAr WA preferred on the compl;int of the French Government or not, we can.. mot pr i ptcnil positively to say, but if it 'were not, i t lratt 4 proof of 14q ilispsitioq 'or the o., , vfnupeut to Glxeck libellous publications against the First Consul, and should have called for observations very different from those eon• tamed in the Moniteur. As to the French Am. bassador having been present at the Trial, we believe it was stated in some of the English Papers, but certainly not in this Paper.—lt then proceeds to state, that the Prosecution was merely useless parade and ostentation, and it would have been better if Ministers would give orders to the Journalists not to write any more Libels.—Such orders might be given, and must be obeyed in France, though, if we may judge from the Columns of the Moniteur, the Writers in that Paper have received no such direaions ; but in England, the state of the Press is fortunately extremely different ; it is by Court of Justice only, tha . t a man can be punished for Libels either against the State or against Individuals. There still exists a subjea for contention be tween Austria and Bavaria. The Austrian Garri son, which was on the point of evacuating Passau on the rzth ult. on a sudden received counter orders, and the Bavarian Troops * who were destined to take possession of that place, halted at the distance of half a league from Passau. This fluauation in the Councils of the Cabinet of Plenna, is attributed to a declaration of 'the Court of Munich, that.it will keep possession of the Bishopric of Eithsteit until it has received a suitable Indemnity. The Em- MOP. has in consequence determined to occupy Passau until his Brother, the GRAND , Dula, is put into possession of Eichstett, The POPE has appointed a new Grand Master of Malta, in 'the person of the Bdrr.LY pz THOMAS!, a Neapolitan Knight. The Funds are 64.. 60. THrs morning two Bata , viNn Mail: arrived, the intelligence brought by which is rather important. It appears by an article from Constantinople of the 'loth of Janu•try, that ;tu arrangement has at length been made respeding the Beys in Egypt, by the interference of the English General and Am. bassador, with whom iConvention has been conclud. ed on thi3 subjed. Lord ELGI Nis stated to have officially declared, upon the conclusion of this Con. vention, that Egypt would be immediately evacuated by the British 1 mops, which Were to be remov. ed from thence to 'Matra ; which Islam!, however, g tt'is said is for some time at least to be kept pos. session of by the ,English, and this intelligence we are inclined to believe to be coned. We are concerned to htate, that by accounts from Vienna, received by these Mails, the health of the ARCHDUKE CHAEL es seems to be in a very ureca. rious State. The Debate on Mr.Cist. iiAFT'S, Motion, proved, as might well have been expeded, an extremelyin. teresting one.—lt was condoned on both sides with peculiar moderation an temper.: 'and` those who found themselves on this delicate question opposed to Government, disclaimed its being considered as in the smallest degree political, and disavowed all sentiments of hostility. The division was the first of any importance that has taken place in the new Parliament.—lt is not difficult to account for the largeness of the Minority, With feelings strungly'prepossessed in favour bf liberality on the part of Parliament towards His Royal Highness, we cannot but think that great discredit . would have attached to the House, had the Motion that was brought forward on Friday been - adopted. The mode that was chosen of at. taining the objed ,was, in our opinion, the Most objedionable that could have been. devised.—ln. deed,. whatever course had been pursued, would haVe been a call on the House to lose sight of its consistency ; but that recommended appears to us to have been indelicate and disrespeettul row; rds the PRINCE 'of WALEs hiMself. What was it in fad but to appoint twenty,one individual's ' to examine into the state of : his private affairs, to scrutinize and ascertain the amount of Debts, perhaps, of the .most delicate and secret nature, and , all this without any sort of authority or sanetitm from the' PRINC,R himself? Some Gentlemen voted for this scrutiny, w i i h out pledging themselves to stir a step farther; be its result what it might, as if from the mere wantonness of unbecoming curiosity ; others sup ported it, declaring themselves, ready to vote fur the discharge of the Debt, whatever might' be its amount, But supposing the PR I rrc E to have refused to lay before a Committee so chosen, an account of what may not improperly be considered his most private concerns, is it possible to conceive - a , pre.. dicament more ridiculous and degrading than that in which ,the House of commons would have placed itself ? The question of Consistency lies in a very rot,. row comoss i —ln the year t79s an Arr.mgernent was made by the Legislature for relieving the PRINCE Of WALES from his Incurn,biances, by a larg ad,tlPritr, - , to a part pf %which was approprlatc2 io II: annual discharge of his Dann, 4--,Of these D...bts, an account was given in by His Royal Hi4hness : Commissioners were appointed to carry that .4.. d into effl:6l: and there was a special clause in it, which restrained the PRINCE from in curring any new Debts, by declaring, That none incurred during the operation of the Ad would be legal.—Wlmt Debts, then is it possible for the House of Commons to recognize ? It must either suppose, that the account given in in 1795 was an incorrect and incomplete one, or must violate its own Ad by sanctioning any that may have since been incurred. Rejoiced as we were at the contents of fits MA. EsTY's• Message to the House; and at the liberal and creditable manner in which it was received and atqed upon, we very much regret that the zeal of inconsiderate friends should have induced them to bring forward the Motion, which was negatived on Friday, and who seem to think with the .old Proverb, that " Enough is a little more." Nor do we think that less indiscretion was manifested in the aCtive and unremitting canvass-for support 'to this Motion, which took •place for some days previous to its being brought forward, and which we under_ stand had little less of dilation than of solicitation in it. We have the Minister's word, that the measure which he had recommended by His Majes. ty's Command, had previously experienced the PR t tee OS entire concurrence and .approbation.— Should His Royal Highness, from a sense of honour, refuse to hiMself the immediate' advantages of this Bill, .we shall, in common with the Public, be ready to admire' and applaud such a determination. Of these means of displaying his amiable qualities, the intemperance of imprudent friends would have de. prived him. We scarcely think it.. worth our while to enter into a more detailed examination than we have al_ mady done of the FIRST CONSUL'S Address to the Legislative 80dy.,--On that part of it which relates to the internal state of France, we have only to ob serve, that it appears to us perfedly natural and fair, that every topic should have been so selecled, every statement so brought forward, and every ob servation so constrated, as to be best calculated to dazzle, to soothe, and to conciliate. We' are far from being disposed to deny, that BONAPARTE has rendered essential service to that Country by the restoration of its established religion, whatever might have been his motive cordially assent to a general remark which this State Paper presents us with, namely,•! , That all changes are bad, un less it is demonstrated by proper evidence that the result will be beneficial,"--This observation must of course apply to the French Revolution itself; which, though it has in the event proved beneficial to the FIRST CONSUL, even of this there was at the time no proper - evidence to demonstrate the pro bability. Of the reason given for the annexation of Piedmont' to France, viz, the necessity 'of the case, wt shall only say, that it appears, as in other . annexations, to have been a necessity 'which has no Most of OUT Cotemporaries, we observe, draw a pacific interettas from the general tenor of the Pa per on which we are commenting, and particularly from the passages . which . apply to' this Country. For this Opinion'we wish we could discover any so , lid grounds. It says, " That France would be justified in complaining that Malta and Alexandria are not evacuated ; hut that British Ships are ar. rived in the Mediterranean to remove them." What then are we to infer, :if`either the one or the other should not be given up ? And we have no reason whatever to believe the fad, of Transports being arrived for the removal of our Troops from either. France can -have no pretence for complaining of our retention of Malta, which the Treaty of Amiens itself does not authorize our surrendering till cer tain provisionS have been fulfilled, .namely, the Elation of a Grand-Master, the arrival of the Fo reign Troops, and the appointment of proper gua rantees. Had it therefore been surrendered, the People of this Country would indeed.,liave, had a right 'to complain; and should . the order fOr that porpose be really gone out, we must fairly avow, that it would, in our opinion, call for an explana. , lion from Government, considering present circurn, stances and appearances. One word more on this Paper;--" In England," it observes, " rower seems to be disputed by two parties." Indeed ! And when, for mare than a century past, has it been otherwise ? This Is no proof of aft:it/a:ion of Councils in our Government (of hich we have never been able to discover one symptom), though it is of a difference of opinion in the House, But unless this difference cif opinion is so general, and this straggle between Parties is so nearly balanced as to warrant the apprehension that the i‘ Party :which has sworn implafable hatred ;towards France," was likely to supplant that 's 'which has coqcluded the Peace, and seems deter. mined to maitilain it," we can see no pretence what ever for those " prudential Mea Min" which call for an Army of 500,000, to protect and to aTen . i, , e According to their own statement, then, the attita , L . of our Government is pao' , fc, that of the new Oppu. sition only mtnirriTs. Some secret motive, there. fore, there must be for so strong a prudential mea sure; which, if carried into effect, must, we ale sure, create the necessity of equally strong and prudential measures on our part. To the whole of the concluding paragraph we most sincerely and • cordially- say, Amen I—But should time and events unfortunately prove that pacific sentiments had been more beautiful than—sincere, as we cannot help a little suspeCting, .what could that country; 'which in the year sgot seas successfully engaged in war . with almost every Power in Europe, have to appre hend front a contest with France alone ! " Suit nobis fortia bcllo " Peagra, sent animi, et reb;,4 .Ipc3ara juvcr.tus." But a truce to inferences ; of i%ltich, tllough.tf,f cannot disguise to ourselves the reasonableness, the most heartily wish that the event may prove'w ei have been hasty and unwarranted in countenancing.

It was contended .0n the behalf of the !lames, that the articles were mad e 4 "` old blankets and mattresses, and did not come vit l "l the meaning of the Aa, and were not intended for exportation.
