vanish; There were some Ger4lemen who sat to_ wards the lOwer end of the House, to whom, he 4eti - ereeti the epithet of " blood hounds" had, in some carbliration, been applied; who had voted with hint on that' occasion, and if they were at all culpable, it wits not . from any extraordinary an. xiety which they had evinced for the maintenance of Peace, He wOuld, not, however, investigate this•subjedany longer, he could only say, that he was utterly unable to conceive what was the ground of the Honourable Gentleman's repentance, or on which side, he had prejudged the question. With regard to himself, he should prove his consistency y voting in the 340)e way that he had done' upon a former -occasion. The Right Hon, the.CuAsfo ELs LOR of the Excll EQUUR had laid down a principle, to which he could by no means accede, via. that no communication could be made to the House till Lord Whitworth had arrived. If that was a regular rincii)le always to be acted upon, he could not ac count for what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentlernan on Monday last. He then said, that the disctissions would be brought to an issue on Toesday or Wednesday, and that he would be enabled to make a communication in a few days, meaning evidently in tlig+ourse of the present week, though supposing Lord Whitworth had left Paris on Wednesday morning, it was not probable that he would reach London in the course of this week, It was therefore pretty evident that the Right Hon. Qentleman was not, quite so much, attached to this point of form'on Monday last as he now appeared to be,. The Right Hon, Gentleman had said, that circumstances had arisen which led him to exped that the answer would not come so soon as he had expected, and Which circumstances were in some degree the ground of his present Motion. He could not. guess what those circumstances were, nor did he wish the Right Hon, Gentleman to explain them if it was improper, but certainly if the points in discussion were to be decided on Friday, the in telligence-might reacts this Country to-night or to. morrow ,Morning; and certainly if there was any thing to communicate the House ought to be at its post to receive it, He did not mean to enter into the. question of derorum, but it certainly was no unimportant matter that the I louse and the Country • Allduid know its fate with regard to the question of Peace or War as, soon as possible. It had been said that no communication could be made respelling the rupture of the Negotiation until Lord Whitworth arrived at. Dover ; but he begged .the House to re.. rolled, that there was another alternative : suppose the Messenger should fortunately bring the intelli gence that all the differences were settled, would st net be material that.the House should receive goirmaxakation to-morrow, rather than on Monday ? and certainly it could not be doubted that that House wits the proper channel of communication between the King and his Sabietts. He did not mean to throw Any blame upon the Rt. Hon. Gentleman, but he could put help observing that he had been mistaken- in his cyek‘..tation three or four times, but us it arose from circumstances which he could not foresee, it CQr iainly. was riot a ground upon which any blame I:th:id be nttributed to him. With regard • to. the' delay which had taken place in Lord Whitworth's departure, ho was of opinion that that Noble. Lord hid acted hi a must .judicious manner, in deviating *rain the ipltrltaio Av ns isieh it was generally su p. be . hm.l rectbi v ed, and he could nut help hoping dint it might tend to a mire .favourable issue "of the discussion. rUpon these grounds, he of opinion that the House ought to meet to. pioerow, though he should not take the sense of the I louse upon it. Lord ifiIiriCESBURY said, he should adopt the claw linp of coodua, and upon the same grounds, that he ht,d upon Ftiday last, viz. that i; was not usual to It on Saturday, unless there was public business of great importance, or even private busi. !less, where the objet was to have some proceed_ irtg, or to take some step ; but when it was proposed so sit without the possibility of•any protveding on the: part of the I loce, he thought it more consistent with the dignity of the House that they. should fol. jaw ilia usual course, and adjourn till Monday.— lis Righ! Hon. Friend had Im/ •stated that there was no Frith:lin:iv of any communication to.Mor. row he 11,:id only said, that thcre was no prohahi. lity of a communication from 1-.lis nijesty : and he did not think it con3isrent with the dignity of the House that they shouhl depart from: their usual mod; of proceeding, merely in the expeftation of receiving , an oral communication, upon which no proceeding could be bad. It was perfetily true, that dace the declaration of his Right Hon. Friend pn Monday last, a probability of delay had occurred, but he hoped it would not be a delay of many hours; it was owing to circmustances which it was not pecewry now to explain. The. lion. Gentleman pad sta ted, that there were two alternatives, and that the ionic might be in favour of Peace, which ;night be immediately .communicated to the' House. pot even iti that Case, he was not aware how any official Communication could be made to the House, because he believed, though he did not speak with perteet certainty, that it Was not usual for His Ma.. rho, to communicate the-result of any Treaty that' was ctinCitultfl until it was atlually ready to be laid before the House. fn the_ event, therefore, of a satisWtory , arrangement, be did, not see that it coed lead to an official communication to-morrow. hod these circumstances, he saw no possible , be. pefit that could result from sitting to-morrow, think. ing as he did, that the mere chance of an oral corn. nionication was not a sufficient ground to jUstify the House in departing from its usual mode of proceed. if ig. — Mr. MARTIN, of Tewkesbury, said, he was disposed to think favourably of the present Mini ster 4 till he /ward something to induce him to change opiniOn. He only wished to ask them what r e , ulti result from their sitting to.morrow„, and to be 3 them to consider whether something might not occur that might draw upon them the displea, sore of the Country and the House. pr.

Sun-Offer, One a'Clock, A Messenger, Mr. LISLP, is just arrived with Dispatches from Lord WHITWORTH. He left , Paris at nine o'clock on Thursday night, and Lo r d Witt TWOICTH was still there.!--This is all that has transpired. His MAJESTY has not left Town, as he intend. ed this morning, fur Windsor, but remains at the Queen's House. At the moment our Paper was about to be put to Press, we learnt that Stocks had fallen to 62. They began at 65i. The report there is, that Lord Wu ITWORTH had quitted Paris on Thursday night. • . Five poit chaises and four passed through Rochester this morning at the same time with the • Messenger. This morning we received Paris Papers to the vhinst. The journal des De bats of the t tth gives the following account of the accident which happened to-the Ftxsr CONSUL. " The First Consul fliet with an accident the .day before yesterday (Sunday last), which might have beeen attended with serioo, consequences, but which he happily escaped by his presence of mind. He left St. Cloud about three in the afternoon, in a Phaeton, to promenade in the Gardens with Madame BONAPARTE, the Consul CAMECACERLS, and several other Persons, The Phaeton was drawn by four horse/, he himself drove. The horses, which were young and spirited, ran away, until meeting with an obstacle to their progress, they were thrdwn down, The First Consul, in order to avoid fall. ing forward, leant to one side, ald fell at a con. siderable distance from the carriage. The fall was violent, but as it fortunately took place upon the grass, he experienced no other injury than a slight hurt in the hand. He slept well in the night, and yesterday (Monday) morning prome. naded at Malntaisou." Six Ships of the Line, of 74 guns, are stated, in Letters from Genoa, to be building at Taulon, which are to be launched in six months. • The report of General ROCHAIVLBEAU haying poi ,pp been recalled from St. th ' ,is contradided ; and it is stared that Le A s set sail from Havre on the 7th inst. fur Ca ranvais, with Troops on board. The Letters from Brusseh still speak of the march of considerable bodies of Troops towards the Bata. vian Republic. The French Funds were on Tuestiay at. £3. 40. The P/06//cirte of Wednesday states, that " the English Asnbassador received on Monday, about one in the afternoon, the Courier from his Court Which lie expeded. The Courier made great haste, hay. ing set oft- from London in the night between Saturday and Sunday : he was thirty-six hours making.the journey. He brings the Answer to the last propositions of Government, It is said that the Ambassador has definitive orders' to depart in thirty-six hours after the official transmission of this answer, which was transmitted yesterday (Tues. day), if the terms of the arrangement which are proposed have not been accepted, saving those mo difications which are doubtless left to the discretion of the Negotiator," SUPI.OFFIOE, -tart . ~o. Tin die is cast, Mr. Lint, the Messenger, merely preceded Lord Wityrwostpt, havi ng or . dered hOrses for him all the way along. We understand that BONAPARTIT referred the question tp his Council, who decided for WAR,' This occasioned the delay in Lord ti trt rwqßTie s depatture t who rcceivesi his rashPurts on Thursday evening.

Go w4st having move d an Adjournment to this day,Mr. ADDINGTON, after pointing out the in formality of the Motion, stated, " that he could no t inform the House whether Lord WHITWORTH was or was not on his way from Paris, but there was no pro. bability of any information whatever being received, so as to enable him to make any Communicatim from Hts MAJESTY this day. Afterwards, ittexpla nation, he added, " that circumstances had occurred which did produce some delay, but which delay would be inconsiderable," Otti. - Dover Letter of l a s t n i g h t states , t h at -a French Boat arrived yesterday morning with a letter from Ca/air for a Mercantile House there, and several vessels were in sight yesterday eiening, but they' were all French Packets. It is certain that none of them contained an English Messenger, or he must have been in Town long before this. The following remarks on the Negotiation ap. peared in a Paper of this morning. ' "We yesterday heard that Ministers entertained greater hopes than they had done, of the amicable termination of the Negotiation. But what hope is the Nation to form from such a termination ? That Peace may be the issue we most devoutly wish I but is the grand line of policy which this Country has to pursue so .faintly traced in the minds of our Ministers, that its observance is dependant upon the dithon of a French Consul ? We cannot believe it.—Besides, if the evacuation of Holland, by the French Troops, be a stipulation in our renewed Negotiation with France, (of which we ourselves entertain no doubt it is) does it look like any desire, on the part of the French Govern ment, to accede to bur demand, or substantially to observe it, should they ostensibly comply, that they have within the last 'fortnight—since the period in which an indication of compliance with these de mands of our Ministers short have been made, if the CONSUL means Peace—marched a large addi tional Army into Holland, have seized, in defiance of the Batavian Government, upon several of their For.: tresses—have levied contributions, and have proceed. ed in every respect as if Holland, in place of being a Country in alliance with them, were for the first trine invaded by a conquering Army ? Does Ibis we ask, look like a compliance with the demands of the British Cabinet, the just demand:, we will maintain, and which we hi , now perhaps to regret were not sooner made and enforced ? We have ever professed ourselves, as we have in reality , been, the sincere and ardent friends of Peace, and we have • taken frequent occasion to reprobate those who were perpetually sounding the IVar-nuboop in our ears. Mr. Fox did us the honour last night to ad vert to an expression of ours, which this feel. ing upon a former occasion drew from us, and which we still think justifiable as we used it, tho' it has by our Enemies been much perverted and misapplied. We aimed it at one Man only of any consideration in public life, associatint , however with him those who, unde r hi s san tli o n, e 'have, un der every change. of circumstances, persevered in srmnd ng the discordant Note of indeterminable War. That such sentiments were at variance with those of People of this Country, we are satisfied, and they are equally so now—but Englishmen have sense enough to discriminate be tween the magnitude of evils, and they would under certain circumstances prefer War to Peace. The period of such discrimination is unfortunately come. If we are to have secure Peace, with a chance of its permanency, we shall rejoice most heartily, but if the French Government yield in cuords only, if they comply with our demands respecting Malta, for of that post fortunately they cannot deprive us -hut with our own consent, what security can we receive Olt the other points implicated in the Negotiation will be satisfactorily arranged ? Does it, as we hive remarked, shew any disposition on the part of the CHI sp CO NSIJ t. to comply with our demands that he increases his force i n Ail/and? Does it shew a conciliating disposition with respeti to B , mi:zit/wed that he procures his creatures there to address him in a'stile of ridiculous bombast, thanking him for restoring their ancient ConstitUtion ? These arc alts that can only be meant as insults to this Coun. try, under all the circumstances- of the present Ne gotiation, for they have been planned and executed long after that Negotiation began. Still, however, we shall hail Peace, if such be the result, provided it be a Peace - which the GREAT STATESMEN of this I Country shall approve." Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, He tt Mw. JESTY, and the PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, ELIZA. orni, and ANIELIA, left auckinghatn•hothe,rend took an airing in two coaches, end honoured Lady CHARLOTTE FINCH with a morning visit at James's Palace, where the ROYAL PARTY remained till about two o'clock. - . .

As His MAJESTY passed through those places, he paid particular attention to the new buildings and alterations that have been made within these few years in those neighbour. hoods.
