PALSUM AUDZAT LONDON, .111 A R,C - H . jq., 1803. DISPATCHES were yesterday received from Lord WHITWORTH at Paris, but nothing definitive is yet come. , A Messenger also arrived from Malta,' but brought nothing of importance. The utmost a4livity prevails in the Dock.yards. The Artificers work double tides, and were like wise at work all yesterday in that of Portsmouth. Tara morning arrived a Mai/ from Holland. Letters front Constantinople state, that twelve French Commercial Commissioners, destined for different parts of the Turkish Empire, had arrived there, in the Squadron which brought thither Gene. rat BRUNE and his Suite. These Commissioners, it is added, have been already acknowledged by the Porte, and will immediately set out for the several places of their destination. Lord ELGIN sailed , from Constantinople in the night of the 16th of January, and it is stated, that a Salute of seventeen guns having been fired from the Frigate in which he took his departure, it excited a general alarm in that City, where Cannon are never fired in the night, except in the case of some great calamity or in. surredion. The Re Is Err ENDS is said to have made a formal complaint on this subjeft to Mr. STRATTON, the British Minister Plenipotentiary. The same accounts state, that though an official notice had been given by Lord Et.c Ix, of the in tended evacuation of Egypt by the British Troops, yet it was not expected to take place for three or four months,. that is to say, not until the Convert tionwith the Beys has been carried into died. Several Corps of French Troops in Italy are stated to be in motion, and about to march for different Ports on the Mediterranean. Troops from the Italian Republic are embarking it Genoa for Sr: Domingo. The KING of SARDINIA is still reported to have ceded that Island to Great _Britain, for twenty mil lions of Florins. tvitav fresh Question that becomes a matter of discussion in the House of Commons, presents a ne w occasion for the display of the good Sense, the Spirit, and Magnanimity of its Members, with scarcely an exception. The justness of t 1 is observation will be readily admitted by, all who have observed the late. gunge that has been used there throughout the whole of the last weel-, and perhaps, particularly in the Debate on Friday, when a Motion was made to add x o,aoo Seamen to our Navy. We have used the phrase of " with scarcely an exception ;" perhaps it might be more accurate to have said, " with very few." Did we feel ourselves warranted in commenting freely on the Speeches, which the courtesy of the House allows to be reported in the Public Journals, we. might, perhaps, take the liberty of expressing our surprize, that any Members who have reposed for two years implicit confidence in a Government, from which they are said now to declare, all the abilities of the Country to be excluded, should all at once discover, that it is at present entitled to none ; and that others, who ob. jea to a vote .fot to,o'oo Seamen on the ground of want of information, should, in the same breath, avow their readiness to vote more than double that number. As to any symptoms of rancorous oppo„ sition, in whatever quarter it may appear, no ,Go vernment, anti no,Cause, was ever yet injured by it. It is easily seen through, and correaly.estimat ed by the Public. Whatever may be the issue of the pending Nego. tiation, backed as it is by formidable preparations, the ground seems to be laid by some individuals for imputing misconduct and criminality to Ministers in either case. If PeaCe should happily he Pre. served, it will be urged, that it might have 'been preserved without exciting this unneces_ sary alarm, and without imposing on the Coun try .the expence which the Armament already or&retl, anti in part prepared, cannot fail to occasion. If a, renewal of the War should be the result, the charge against Administra tion will be, that their forbearance has been too great, that the point might, and ought to have been sooner brought to an issue ; or possibly these new admirers of the BkoiNgs of Pence. may torn- short round, 'anti-•t Clare to an astonished. Public their Ainidri, that the causes of its interruption, what. e4r they may prove to be, were wholly inadequate. .4Even for so gross and palpable a contradiffion of conduit, and of departure trent and abandonment of all Political Principle, the Palk mind seems to be al. ready not a little prepared. For ourselves, we are not willing to conceive such shameless inconsistency pos. siblc flatly man to whom charader can he an °Ned, till we may actually witness it. It would indeed loosen all affiatice in honourable motive, which a generous Vublic is usually disposed to attribute to some at least of their political leaders ; and might even affeec the 'credit of those, who are utterly incapable of such an abuse of their confidence. In the Debate to which we have been referring, it was well argugd by those, with whose opinions we are very little in the habit of coinciding, that even should the War be renewed, the propriety , and merit of the Treaty of Amiens cannot in the smallest degree 'be atfe6ted by such an event. This is a large chapter ; and abundant arguments might be adduced, in our opinion unanswerable ones, to main. min the truth of that proposition. At a future time these may be stated : at present it might possibly prove superfluous. From the same quarter we were glad to observe - expressions of an earnest wish for the preservation of Peace coupled with an explicit . Avowal, that a War could not be otherwise than justifiable, the objed of which was to maintain our honour, and to preserve, our rank amongst the other Powers of Europe. On the .flagitious coadutt of some of our cotem porary Journals, during the last few days, we for bear at present to enter Into a detailed comment. Their barefaced inconsistenoies and,contradiaions shall, however, ere lung, be fully exposed. We cannot, indeed, have felt the smallest surprise that one Paper, which on the signiture of the Prelimi. naries bitterly criminated.His Majesty's Advisers for the previous secrecy which had been obiterved on that occasion, should condemn it with equal as. perity on another, where the observance' of ii was certainly no less important, The, fat is, that at either peiiod it has felt a little sore at the disclosure of its own folly and ignorance. In September, 1801, it had avowed its decided opinion of the improbabi lity of the restoration of Peace; and in March, 1803, it had drawn the most pacific inferences from the lan. guage of the French Government, and of the FIRST CawsuL himself., In thelatter instance, indeed, its prophetic wisdom has not yet been absolutely dig. proved ; and we very anxiously hope that the result may still afford it what it may chuse to constder as a ground for triumph. When this journalist gravely tells us, " that Hit Majesty's Mi,rifteri birve in.' curra a deep rt,vottibility," he tells us only a truism, which the Minister himself has been the foremost to avow, and from which we believe he will shew no disposition to shrink. No symptom of uneasiness under so heavy a' load has been betrayed, nor can its pressure (whatever may be the degree of anxiety) be very severely felt, where , there is the " mens sib; conscia ran." As to the old story of incapacity and inexperience, so elaborately urged by another well-waning Journal, it is really too silly to deserve notioe. We cannot conclude without noticing with pride and satisfaction the little congruity between the lan. ' guage ind tone of these Papers, and of those Mem. bets ot Parliament whose views they may be intend. ed to promote. They have hitherto had the magna. nimity to disclaim every personal consideration, when the vital interests of their Country seemed to be at stake. We are speaking only of the ?resent period. ,Mr. Fox is now again resuming his sta. lion 'as the God of Political Idolatry to one . comsitt. eat Editor, who, not two months ago, devoted whole Columns, clay after day, to the most bitter and pointed ,attacks upon him. Whether he may be best pleased with abuse or panegyric from such a Weather.cocie quarter, we do not pretend to con jedure : but we do know to which a true Patriot ought to give a decided preldence. Yesterday morning Tit EI R MAJ ESTI F.S and the PR INC ESSIS attended Divine Service in the private Chapel, Buckingham-hoose, which was' performed by the Rev. Dr. Mos,. , • . After one o'cloc kthe PRINCEsSES ELIZABETH, MARY, and SoitHIA, attended, by Lady CHAR. LUTTE WYNNE, wok an airing' in a carriage and . four, escorted by a party of Light Horse, in the neighbourhood of Kennington, and returned through Hyde Park to Buckingham.bnuse to dinner. The KING will hold a Levee at St. James's on Wednesday next. His Royal Highness the DUKR of CUlvtliltitLAND dined yesterday with TlitRIR MAJEsTIRs at the Queen's Houle. This day His Royal Highness pro. cecded to join. his Regiment, the ;sth Light Dra. goons, at Worcester. His Royal Highness will sleep to.night at Chipping Norton, and will arrive at Worcester tomorrow. We understand that there is no doubt but that the Call of the House will be inforced on Thursday, if there should be an insufficient number of IVlern ben present to ballot for two Committees.. Sir WXLLIASI PULTENEY'S Speech in the House of commons on Friday last, made a great impres. sion, and 'is very highly spoken bf. When such high British Spirit animates the bosom of an aged Senator, to what adegree may it not be expected to bear in the breasts of our youthful Warriors, should the circumstances of the Country call it into adion!

Inithe same Squadron with this suite have likewise arrived twelve persons, whom the Government has sent as Commercial Commissioners to the different provinces of Turkey, and who have been already acknowledged by the Porte in that capacity, and will immediately set out for the several places of their destination. Lord ELGIN has gone on board an English Fri. gate, in which he will return to London. Though he has given official notice of the withdlawing of the English Troops from Egypt, the Turks do not expert that this will take place for three or four months; that is to say, not till the Couventica with the Beys has been carried into drat. JANUARY zs. Lord ELGIN left this City on the 56th.! without having seen the French Ambassador, General BRUNE I who arrived here on, the 9th . A short time before his departure,he notified to the Mem' bets of the Diplomatic Corps resident here, that Mr. STRATTON would condua the English agars al Minister Plenipotentiary till further orders. Thil Note was dated back, and with some others, wss addressed to the late French Chargide-Mirat Citizen RUFFIN I and not to General BRIMS.
