THURSDAY, FEB. 24. AT one o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR Caine down to the Nouse, and a considerable number of Peers attended. The Marquis TOWNSHiND was sworn and took }lts sear. Their Lordships resolved into a Committee on the Bank Restriction Bill, Lord WA.I,SINGIIAM in the Chair ; when the various Clauses and Provisions of the Bill were agreed to, without any amendment. On the House resuming," the Report was received and agreed to. Lord Gw YDIR (Great Chamberlain of England) acquainted their Lordships it was. His Majesty's pleasure to receive the Address of this House, at two o'clock this day. Some routine business was disposed of, and the House, after previously adjourning till to-morrow,. proceeded to St. James's, with their Address to His MAJESTY. 110 USE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, FgD. 24.. H. SP EAKER took the Chair at two o'clock. Lord STOP FOR D reported to the House, that His 'MAI niTy4ould be graciously pleased to re ceive the Address of the HoUSe this day at three o'clock. The : , CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that Mr. 1 ti.LIAm .DurlD AS should have leave to report from the Committee appointed to consider His Majesty's most Oracious Message.-- Ordered'. Mr. WILLIANIDUNDA4 appeared at the Bar with the Report, when, on the question for bringing it up being put, Mr.' FONBL A NQU E said,. that ,understand gig the House was going up with the Address to His Majesty, he should feel a strong eludance to de. tain them for a monirme. At the same time, 'how. ever, he felt himself itt. a delicate situation, as the Resolution agreed to. in the Committee appeared to him to stop short at the very pawit where it ought to go further. it did not enable His Royal High ness to do that which it was -the wish of His Majesty's Ministers he should do, .namely, to resume his state and splendor. Placed in this situ ation, he knew not whether he should throw him, self upon the candour of the House, that the con.. sideration of the Report might be adjourned till to-morrow ; .and though such a measure might be construed .by some into a mark of diSresped to wards His Royal Highness, : yet he trusted His Royal Highness would impute it only to an extreme anxiety for his welfare. His Majesry'.s Message was ; Highly important, and though the Measure broight forward by the Right Hon. Gentlerflahlthe CiIANCELLOR of the EXca too appeared calcu. lated to efFeet the desired end, y et it was stated on a former evening, by an-Hon. Gentleman not now in his place, (Mr. SHER inAN) that there were ob stacles which would prevent His Royal Highness from immediately resuming that state and splendor which it was the object of the present measure to enable him to do. The House would do well to give themselves time to: pause, that they might consider whether the proposed measure was adequate to the , attainment of die desired object. Upon thesegrounds, he would have detained the House at some length, and if the Right, Hon. Gentleman would consent that the Report should be brought up to-morrow, he should then have an opportunity of delivering his sentiments upon the subject; if not, he must reserve himself for, a future occasion.; but he trusted there would be no objedion to defer bringing tip the Report. The Cl/INCELLOR - of the EXCHEQUER said, he wed 'not inform the House that he should detain theta but &very few moments. There was no wish on his part to hasten the consideration of the subjed now before them ; but h e could not help asking, why the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Fox . PLANtatte) did not bring forward his observations, when he WO an opportunity, on the preceding evening ?: And why; when the Question was put on the preceding evening, that the Report should.be re ceived this-day, knowing, as every one did, that the House would go up this day with the Address, which they had voted to His' Majesty, did not the Hon.,Gentleman then proptise that the Report should be received on Friday, instead of this day ? it was not parliamentary or proper, to allude to the feel, ings of the Illustrious Personage .who had been men tioned; hut be shouldfeel extteme.uneasineis if the ' House should defer to another day the consideration of this Report, which they had agreed to consider on this day, and'which, be trusted, would he agreed to uoanimously. If the Honourable Gentleman had proposed, on , the preceding evening,- that the Report should be. received on Friday instead of this day, he should ncit have objected : to it. The Hon. Gentleman, it a Bill was ordered:upon the Resolution, would have an opportunity of de. 'livering his sentiments upon the subject 'in a future stage of the business, liat at present the. Hon. Gentleman valid not aet upon any propoSition that he might -wish to make. He should feel , ' the most extreme relatanee that it should appear on the Journals of the HOnse, that the' consideration of a Resolution like time present, which had met wish no opposition in the,Committee," should be deferred to another day. Mr. TYRWIIIiT said, it had been.his intention to say a few words on. the bringing up of the Re port, but after what had been said by the CHAN. cELLiall, of the ExcHNotit, he should take. a _ futine opportunity of making his remarks. the Report was then brought up, read and agreed. to, and a Bill ordered pursuant thereto. The SoLletTOit GENERAL moved for leave of absence for Mr. GtottG Wool), to go the Northern (..tretat.,,-Granted. The Militia Training Bill was ordered to be read a third time tamorrotV. The Report of the Committee of the whole House on Expiring,Laws was ordered to be re: ceived to-morrow. The.Housr adjourned at half past two till to. morrow, and: proceeded to Sc.. James's, to present the Address voted by the Home to His Majesty. .7 igrAug. AIRIVtD. Holland a - . .. .... z ren.-11 ki aniburgh o PRICE ()MOCKS, THIS DAY AT TWALVA O t rLOCX. Consols - 7z4 THE SUN. 101./M QUIS DICER* lALSOI4 aunzAr ? LONDON,,FEBRUARY 25, 1803. LAST night we received our regular Sets ,of Paris Journals to the 21st inst. inclusive. At length the AI of Mediation of the FIRST CONSUL, for the settlement of k . Government in Switzerland, is giVen to the world, ',through the medium of thareoh Official Journal the itioniteur. This Ad occupies three Supplements -of that Pa per ; but as by much the greater part. of it relates merely to the organization of the different Can. tons, we do not 'consider this detail as sufficiently interesting to an English. Reader to be given by us at length; it will be sufficient to observe, that the distinguishing features of the Oantonal Organi. zations are 'a derelidion of that system of Unity, Which, was once the faVourite theory of the FIRST • Corium, and a near approximation to that. Plan of Federalism upon which the Constitution of Swit_ zerland and the Union of the Swiss Cantons were originally founded. , Material distinaions are made Iletween _the. Constitutions of the different Cantons,' in proportion' to the differences whiCh ex isted between their former systems of Govern_ ment ; in short, the whOle is a confession that the System attempted to be imposed by France , 'upon the People of Switzerland, was complete. ly erroneous, inasmuch as it stood in direct oppo. sition to the wishes and confirmed habits of large 'majority of the inhabitants of that Country. .The Constitution, now proposed, is certainly better calculated than the former system of Unity, to in sure the tranquillity, and meet the desires of the People of Switzerland, but there still remains the ohjeaion, strong and forcible as it must certainly be considered, of its being imposed by a Foreign Power, which has assumed to itself the office of Mediator, and probably several minuter objections, the former of which must, and'thelatter perhaps May, materially operate upon the minds of the People of Switzerland, to disgust theM with a system of Government which is not the result of their own free and unbiassed choice. That many are disgusted it'with is proved by the re heated emigrations from Switzerland to America. The general disposition of what is called the Federal mt, which concludes the Mt of Mediation, we have ,detailed at length in our preceding Columns, this be ing- the most material part of the Mediatory De cree, as it contains the essence of the proposed Fe. dera tive System, the cement by which the whole is to be united.. The point of, the pyramid, thus erect ed, is to be a Latidarnman. The FIRST CONSUL himself does not, however, aspire to this of. , fice, as some have supposed:he would ; he delegates it to another ; the Avoyer or Burgomaster of the Canton in which the Diet assembles, in turn is to hold the situatiooof.LandamMan for the time being. The General Diet is to exercise the more material, attributes of Sovereignty, such as making Treaties, appointing Ambassadors, &c. In order to prevent the influence of passion, and secure the operation of vni. , ttom and moderation, the FIRST CONSUL. appoints the firit Landamman, and also all those who are destined to carry the proposed Constitution, in the first instance, into effect. It is not forgotten i n this AEI of Mediation, to acknoWledge the iv.de pendeige of Switzerland, and to assert that the dis. positions of it are the best calculated to secure the peace and the bappinfir of the people of that coun. try ; how far the Swiss may ,be of the same opinion, is a question which remains yet to be de. termined. A new misunderstanding is said to have arisen between Fiance and Algiers. The Ministers of the Mediating Powers have transmitted to the Deputation of 'the Empire, a sup. plementary Note, which contains, amongst others, the proposition for conferring the EleCtoral Dignity upon the 'GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY. The De. putation is requested in this Note to form a new Definitive Aet, which shall comprise all the ulterior modifications .of the original plan of Indemnities. The-FIRST CONSUL iS said to have declared to the different Courts, in a formal manner, that he will not consent to the cities of Augsburg and Nurem. burg being ceded to Bavari►i, but that they shall remain free and Imperial' Cities. The auxiliary French Troops in the pay of the liatavian Republic are to be immediately reduced to two DemiLbrigades, in consequence of a new ar rangement co eluded between the two, Powers. These Dcmi_brigadcs will retrain another year in Holland ; the ether French Corps, which Arc at pre.. sent Lithe Batavian Republic, will be marched into Belgium. The Austrian TrcSpts who were to have finally evacuated Passau on the nth ult. are stated to have received orders, on the 286, to remain there. The . French Funds are still rising very considers. bly. They arc at 60. 25. • - Yesterday, at' a 4 qoarter before twelve o'clock, His MAJESTY arrived at Buckingham-House, in his travelling chariot and four, frosa Windsor, es coned by a party of the Light-horse.
