' • LONDON, MAY 9, ibo3. W E announced to the Public on Saturday the arrival of Mr. SYLVESTFR the Messenger, with Dispatches from Lord W H ITWORTH at Paris, whom he left theie on Wednesday evening. This Dispatch was quite unexpetted, and threw, as we stated, the whole City into a tertntnt. The hopes of Peace revived for a moment, but these were very short. lived. The following particulars may be relied upon by the Public, respecting the points of the Ultimatum, and the new proposal of the French Government. Lord Wurrwottru had orders to quit Paris, un less his Ultimatum was agreed to, on Wednesday night at the latest. He gave notice of therm orders to• M. TALLEYRAND. Nothing passed till a few hours before his intended departure, when a Mes. sage was sent to him by M. TALLETRAND, to remain at Paris, as he had a proposal to send to him which he had no doubt Lord WHITWORTH would think it right to submit to his Court. The Proposal was accordingly sent—Lord Wit ITWORTH transmitted it, and said he should wait the return of the Messenger who carried it. On Saturday, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, a Cabinet Council was assembled at the House of the "CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in Downing street, upon Lord WIIITWORTH'S Dispatch. The Meeting was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. The result, it is impossible to state ; but whatever it was, it was sent off on Saturday evening to Paris by SYLVESTER. He reached Dover yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and immediately embarked on board a Packet waiting for him by order by the Telegraph, and sailed with a fair wind for Bou logne, He would land in France by noon yeste4 day, and would reach Paris about the same time on this day. A Messenger was dispatched to Windsor early on and Ifts MA EsTY in conse. Saturday morning, quence came to town about noon on that day. A Privy Council was held at the Queen's House, which sat for some time, and at half past tour His MA. JESTY set off on his return to Windsor. Lord WHITWORTH'S Ultimatum, we understand, from good authority, was, " That the French Troops should evacuate Hot- land ; 14 That the Swiss should be restored to a Flee Go vernment ; and, " That Malta should remain in the hands of the British fur a certain number of years, and, after wards, until some new arrangement could be made respcding it, which should completely secure its independence." These were the points of the Mil:a/us:delivered by Lord WHITWORTH to the French Government. The proposal made by TALLEYRAND to Lord WiturwoaTo, and whip's he transmitted by Sv t. V ESTER the Messenger, we understand to he satis ladory upon the fiist point of the Ultimatum. UFon the second, respeeting Switzer/rind, it is of en to - Negotiation, but with a drclared intention of ena. Wing the Swiss to form a Free Government ; and, upon_ the third, a touch shorter time is given for our retention of Malta, than had been proposed in the Ultimatum, and the possession of Lampedosa (a small Island unfor6fed, with a Port capable of con. raining about six or seven sail of the Line !!) is also said to be proposed to be obtained fur us from the KING 'of NArtes, to whom it belongs,. and to be guaranteed to us. That this proposal shctuld be agreed .to, seems. very unlikely indecJ. As we have said before, we presume not to dive into the secrets of Cabinets, but we have reason to believe that Ministers wish Lord WHITWORTH had come away, as lte had been peremptorily ordered to do after his Ultimatum • had been rejaled by the Consular Power. This proceeding, however, on the part of the French Government, chews, if not an indisposition to go to War, at•least a determination to make, as good a case as they possibly can. Aloha i s the great point of Negotiation, and upon that they give the Feast satisfaCtion. Upon the other two, what is done may be more to amuse us .than any thing else, as the French Troops may evacuate Holland one day, and return the next to enslave it;,_ and as to Switzetlaid, nothing precise see.ns tq he settled. We have only to add, on this part of our snsterneot, pnexpeaed intelligence wh;el; arrived on ',,att;4l; . ) , places the Milli.tter , in a vs;;: .delicate and unprecedented situation. Parliament and the Country expeCt a decisive communica:ion this day. It wit! be seen from what we have stated that it cannot well be made unless the Minister shall declare, that be has sent positiVe orders to Lord ITWORTH to come away, which it is not likely he would do, while a chance remains of the preservation of Peace. It is this day more our business to give to•the Public Fad; that' Op;. nions, but we should think it would only be con. si!itent . with that dignified calmness which has hi theito charafterised the 'Proceedings of the two Houses of 'Parliament, to wait, in consequence of the unexpeeted dispatch of Friday night, till the final result shall be ascertained. We have reason to believe that Lord WH WORTH has received by SYLV ESTER positive orders to quit Paris, unless the Uhimatrim of the British Government is-immediately and unequivocally ad. mitted by the Chile CONSUL. As soon as the falsehood of the Paragraph in The Times had been on Saturday completely ascertained by Mr. ADDINGTON'S Letter to the/40RD MAYOR, the Stock Exchange was opened. Consols began at 6 5 — t he fluanations were immaterial, and they Intl off at 651. This morning they opened at 641, and at twelve were very steady at that price. A French Messenger arrived on Saturday morn ing with Dispatches for General ANDREOSSY. Ne represents, we understand, that the common People in Paris are very averse to War. A crowd of Foiusdrdes had surrounded the Thuineries, ing, " No War with E.►ngland ! Lord WatT WORTH mutt not go away I" Our accounts from Holland this morning state, that the French are mounting guns upon all the works at Hettnet, and preparing furnaces fur red. hot shot. WE received yesterday the.Parit Papers of the sth,' an,l this morniug the Moniteur of the 6th inst. The long depen'ling and complicated question of the . German Indemnities is at length terminated : The Imperial Rvifieation to the Com/alum of the Diet of the Empire was given on the 28th ult. The Journey of the FIRST CONSUL, to Brussels, has been put off for some time ; indeed it was not very probable that, in the present very critical state of affairs, he would venture to leave Paris for any length of time., The French Papers still preserve a profound silence respecting the state of the Ne gotiation ; the Publicille, indeed, of Thursday, announces the delay which had taken place in the departure of Lord WHITWORTH trom Paris, and infers from thence, that there are still some hopes of Peace. In the Hamturgb Correspondent's: of the 4th instant, which we received yesterday, there it a Letter from Paris, dated April 29th, which states that the FIRST CONt.tY L, on the Sunday pre ceding, said to some Members of the Legislative Body who attended the customary Levee of that day, that before the termination of the meeting of the Legislative Body, the last sitting of which was to be on the sth inst. the great question of Peace and War between France acid England must be deter mined. He added, that as all the Powers on the Continent were oil the side of France, the War' could in no case be of long duration, but would on that account he the more terrible for the party which was the aggressor. fie concluded by saying, that France had done and would do every thing consistent with her honour. to preserve Peace.— This was doubtless intended.to make an impression upon the Continent unfavourable to England, hut it is at best but a vain and idle boast, which will no doubt be treated with the contempt which it deserves. Ttttw morning arrived a M4iil from Holland.— The only new article of intelligence which it brings is an account of the French Troops having at length began to evacuate the Brisgau. The following is the Letter from Mr. ADDING Toe to the LORD NIAYOR. " MY LORD, Diiwnifig-street,, v lll o , 7, • " As Lord 11,1WKESBURY is not at the Foreigt Office, I have opened your Lordship's Note conformably to , the wish expressed through your Messenger. " If any information had been received by Government, which could properly be the subjed of public communica tion, your Lordship may be assured that such a cominunica. tion would not be withheld. I feel it however to he my duty distinelly to caution your Lordship against receiving impres sions of the description alluded to through any unauthorised channels of information. • " I have the Honour to be, &c. • " 11. ADDINGTON." This Letter was read by► the LORD MAVOR, he tween,twelve and one o'clock on Saturday, at, the Sto9k'Exchange, and at Lloyd's CofFee.House, and an Extrad of i t was pasted up at the latter place, and also in front of the Nlan•ion_House. The LORD NIAYOR displayed the greatest zeal anil promptitude upon the occasion, and received the public thanks of the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, Yesterday morning THEIR MAjESTI RI and the Pkt 1 NC ItSiES, at tended by Lally SIDNEY and ll.ntgb..

At twelve o'clnek Hee MAJESTY and the Princesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH and MARY arrived, they were received by the Duke atid Dotehets.and full suite. The day being remarkably fine, HER MA. JErry and the PRINCESSES walked in the Pleasure rounds, and viewed that truly be autiful p lace.-- HER MAJ ESTY and the PRINCESSES partook of a most sumptuous cold Collation, consisting of every delicacy which the season affords, end returned to • ' Nyindsor about four o'clock. The PRINCE of WALES, DUX ES Of CLARENCE an 4 CUMBERLAND, and a numerous assemblege of Nobility, dined 'with their Royal 'Highnesses ; in the evening there was a Grand Ball.

Lord ,CHoLMONDELLY and Family, arrived at hi; Lordship's house in Piccadilly on Saturday eyeom. ing, from France. It is again reported that Mr. Prier will shortly bees t.the.head of affairs. That which is the wish of every body, is very naturally thf subjed of mour, and this, we believe, stands upon no Ober foundation. This wish we know is felt by or person more strongly than by Mr. ADPINGTOS himself.—He at no time attempted to set his talents in competition with those of his predecessor : and he is above the groveli n g j ealous y which delight*. in depreciating the meri ts of other men. Those who thought they paid the ir court to him by at tempting to undermine the charafier of his illus. trious predecessor, met with nothing, to our know' ledge, but his utter contempt. The Gazette of Saturday contains His Mipsty's Proclamation for summoning the Peers of Sc,otland, to meet at Holyrood.House, on Thu'rstiaY th e 16 1 . of June next, to de& a Representative Peer, in 1 ' • room of the Earl of Dula I Bs, d ecea sed., ta d, Tile GRAND SEIGNIOR has sent over- tur 4 :, ut as a present to His Royal Highness the D"ldot YORK, a very elegant and curious Sabr e, btu with diamonds, worth fifteen hundred pounds.

It is said that such an Inq uir y' gratifying to chose who are concerne d in the oar._C dud of that Department, and we are sor e it w ill D , to the Public at large. It has been insinnateot that whatAThave stated upon this subjel t, ebbough complaining of one of his Colleagu e l a Office, was encouraged by Mr. ADDINGTON. ".11t C.IIIIIOt hear such an insinuation without gi vin g i the most pointed contradiction. Mr. ADDINGT`''' is itcapable of encouraging refleaions epon any person with whom he is acting in Gocern" rr.ent ; we tt ink it but jus . ice to outarly r i i • vanced no faet upon this subj at the same • time to say, that see have B ` l city.
