E d~'l I) 1 Upon the date:Rion and frustrating of one of the most detest. able Plots that• the wickedness of misguided individuals could imitspire to imagine. A Conspifacy, that 4 whilst - it aflbrded additional proofs of the mischiefs of t hosedetestable principles, was equally destruelive of all prattical, mo ral, civil, and religious Liberty : that His Majesty's faith ful Corninnns,_.tecling sincerely the importance of this dis- covery, hasten to assure Ilis Majesty, as well in their own From the LONDON GAZETTE, Feb. 22, 3S IPar-Offre, Feb. 22, ISO 3. tame 5A in that of all the Conimons of Great Britain, that they are determined to support with their lives and all that is dear to them, the Government and Constitution, firm and unchanged, to the latest posterity." Lord BOY LE seconded the Motion, and ex. 'pressed high approbation of the measure taken to inform Hls Majesty of the loyalty and attach. meta every Member of that House felt for the Sovereign and Constitution of this Country. ,'.On the Motion of Mr. LEE leave was given to bring in a Bill to regulate the Process in the Irish Courts of Law, and assimilate them to those of England. The Coaste LLOR of the EXCHEQUER signified a wish that a pro Vision should he made for one of Majesty's Secretaries of State here, who has ;iveo up zoool. a ,year in this Country, consider_ ink; himself compensated there by the situation he Ito% in Ireland as the principal Law Officer, by patent right in one of their Courts. Mr. LEE then signified his intention of moving for a COmpensation to that Noble Lord and Officers, .when the Bill should be in a Committee. he House resolved itself into a Committee on the Mutiny Bill. Th e SECRETARY at WAR said, he wished to call the attention of the Committee to the Amend ments he was about to propose, as some of them were of Importance.- The principal Amendment he had to submit to the Committee related to Desertion. • This crime, which was so highly detrimental to the Service, had increased of late to a great extent, • to much so as to amount to one-fourth of the num. ber drawn from the Recruiting Service. It was well • known that the British Army was at present so con ' stituted as not to admit of any non-effedive men, and it was therefore highly necessary to enaa an ade quate punishment for the crime of Desertion. At present the provisions- of the Law in that resped were in some measure nugatory, as there was only a power given to His Majesty to commute the punishment of death for that of service in the army abroad for life, or term of years: Independent of ' its being highly improper to make the military service a punishment, it was evident that a man could serve no longer than lie was fit for service. It was therefore thought advisable that .a power Should he given to His Majesty to commute the Capital punishment adjudged by Courts Martial for transportation, which was the purport of the 'principal Amendment he intended to move. There were also several other amendments which he intend. ed to move, the .objects 'of which were, to increase the penalty upon those who harboured Deserters from the Militia,. o prevent Non-conimissioned Officers and Soldiers from receiving their pay when under committal upon conviaion, to make some re. gulations respeding WaggonS and Carriages pressed upon service, and to institute a summary process against those who illegally bought Oats, Hay, and Straw, from Persons employed in the Army. ,• • General TALUETON said a few words expres:. of his approbation of the Amendments, which were Severally agreed to. The House being resumed, the Report was or_ tiered to be received to-morrow. Tbe SPEtiKER called the attention of the House to the circumstance of Mr. A•rxtris's non-attend ance on an Elation Committee, which had been reported in thetatly part of the evening, - and stated that he had been informed that Mr. ATKINS was in • such a dangerous state of health, that it was 'possible for him either to attend upon the Commit tee, or to attend the . House to-morrow. Dodor ROBERTS being called in, proved Mr. ATKINS'S illness, . who was thereupon excused from attending any further upon the Committee. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Vommittee of Expiring Laws, which was ordered to be referred to a Committee of the whole House tomorrow. The Militia Training Bill passed throOgh a C ommittee—Report to-morrow. Mr. COTTE KELL brOught up a Petition from the Debtors confined in HeretOrd Gaol, praying for re. lief, which was ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. J. C..BERESFORD brought up two Petitions from the Grand Jury of the County and City of `Dublin, respening 'the . improvement of the Port of Dublio, which were ordered to be referred to a Committee. Mr. J. C. BERESVORD brought up the Dublin Royal Canal Bill, which was read a first time. Adjourned at half-past six o'clock till tomorrow. • • Ist Regiment of Life Guards, Lieutenant.

French • - - liamburgh 8 ----- t THE SUN. SOLILI4 QUIS PALoum AUDIAT ? LONDON, FEBRUARY 23, 1803. Tests morning Eight Ilamburgh Mail: reached Town, viz. those of the zise, 25th, and 28th of January, and of the Ist, 4th, Bth, i ith, and tstlt of the presetit month. The Intelligence which they bring has been generally. anticipted by our com munications atom ty an article from Tr enice, it appears that a very curious repnrt had been circulated there, of a bloody Engagement off Sardinia between the English and French Squadrons, in which the former are stated to have gained the advantage. That such would have been the result, we can have little doubt, had an Action taken place; but it is hardly necessary for us to say, that the replrt is in the highest de. gree absurd. An article from Mentz, of the Bth inst. states, that notice had been transmitted to General LAvAs seult, of the intention of the FIRST CONSUL to ac complish very speedily his long.intended visit to Belgium and the Rhine. From Frankfort we learn, that the last of the French Troops on the right side of the Rhine were immediately to evacuate the Brisgau. Accounts from Switzerland state, that France agrees to observe the old stipulations, by which no Swiss Troops in French pay can be sent to serve in Foreign Countries. Accounts from several quarters of Italy, of Janu. ary zzd, say, it is now confirmed that the new KING of SARDINIA will not at present take possession of his Kingdom, but that he has concluded a Conven- Lion, by which he cedes it with all its annexed claims to England, and that to this nothing is wanting but the reciprocal ratification, and the con firmation of the English Parliament. The English Fleet now cruizitig off the Island of Sardinia is said to he stationed there with a reference to these ne. gotiations, in consequence of which English Cou. riers are frequently arriving at Rome. The coo ditions on which this Cession is made, these ac. counts add, are probably very advantageous to the KING of SARDINIA, since he has refuse'a the sum of six millions, with a yearly appanage for life of one million, offered by another Power. We this morning received the Moviteur of -the 18th instant. None of the other Paris Journals have arrived for some days. The Paper which we have received, however, is wholly barren of intel. ligence, which leads us to regret the detention of the others the less. The French Funds were on the 17th, at 59. 70. AT the moment our Paper was about to be put to Press, we received the Moniteur of the Igth, and our other Sets of Papers. They contain nothing of importance. The Motions that were %nude last night in both Houses of Parliament, for Addresses of Congratula. lion to fits MAJVSTY, on his late happy escape from the atrocious designs of Traitors, who have paid the forfeit of their lives for their horrible ma. chinations against the most virtuous Monarch that ever adorned a Throne, cannot but afford high gra tification to the Loyal People of Britain. This example, so properly held forth by the two Legislative Branches of our Constitution, will doubtless be followed by all Public Bodies in the United Kingdom. Yet happy as the people must be in knowing, that their righteous Sovereign has been preserved from the dreadful machinations of Traitors ; and cordially as they must u n ite with the Representative Bodies, in their Congratulations to the Throne on this occasion, it is evident, that this happy escape of their beloved KING, is a sub. jeft of congratulation to themselves, for, if it had been possible for those dreadful machinations to have been carried into effeCt, the whole Empire must have become a acene of confusion, massacre, and min.—The superintending care of Providence has exempted us from those horrors, and the wretches who had them in contemplation have suffered the punishment due to their crimes. Hence we may trust, that Treason will no longer hope to efFeCt its horrible purpose ; an awful warning is held forth to those who are urged by ambition, or corrupted by revolutionary doarines, and we may now expett to see our Rulers proceed firmly and vigorously in pro. mating the' Interest and Honour of the Empire, without having their attention 'drawn aside by the arts of domestic enemies. We cannot con. clnde these obscrvations without exulting in that pure administration of Justice, which marks the judicial proceedings of this Country. The men who meditated the execrable designs which have been so happily frustrated, have had every possible advantage which they could derive from the aid of able Counsel—they have been tried by an impartial Jury of their countrymen, and conviCted upon the clearest and most indisputable evidence. The Leader was even suffered to address the surrounding multitude in his last moments, which, instead of employing in an acknowledgment of his guilt, as the only atonement he could maice to his Country, .he ended in hardened impenitence and conscious falsehood ! !
