! , k It is now said that General BERNADOTTE will not go to America, but that he will be superseded in his Emba.sy by Citizen L.txssAr, Colonial Prefed of Louisiana. They write from L'Or;ent, that a Privateer of St. Makes has taken a Prize, which she has carried into Pai tnpul The Privateer Impromptri, of Boulogne, Capt. PiQuit, has captured in the Thames, a fine English Brig, called the Sunderland, laden with Ship. timber, and has carried her into Ostend. [This is the Vessel, no doubt, taken last week by tw o French Privateers, which appeared off the North Foreland.] , The French Fun& on the tith were at 49. 15. THE CHANCELLOR of the ExCHEQ,unE, in bring ing forward the Supply and Nays and Means of the . year, has followed the example of his illustrious Predecessor, and has she wn a determination to meet .the difficulties which the times present to us. If the People are sensible of their 'real danger, and alive to their true interest, they will submit, nor only pa. tiendy, but_ cheerfully, to the burthens which are Iltessarily imposed on them. Ministers must be aware of the difficulties with • which they have to struggle. It is a deep sense of those difficulties„ not a distrust of their good intentions, which has in.. duced 116‘ to say repeatedly, that we anxiously wish to see, in the Cabinet, the Elements of Decision, of Vigour, and of Energy. We wish the greatest Talents in the Nation were aCtively engaged in the administration of its Affairs, not from a predileffion in favour of one Mal instead of another, but because we know the times to be per ilous, and because we are engaged with an Enemy, who, wish greater power than any we ever had to contend with, will employ every means to injure or' to destroy us. With the principle upon which the Taxes are im posed, we are perfeltly satisfied. Every body must see that the Funding System, iF resorted to, would shortly crumble uEder our feet. Each addition to the National Debt would depreciate Funded Pro perty, and we should at length be - fume:l to borrow at so great a disadvantage, that every Loan would become ruinous to , the Nation. If therefore, we can raime so large an Annual Sum upon the Country by War Taxes, that together with the present Surplus produce of the existing Taxes, requires no larger a Loan than what the Sinking Fund annually pays off, to defray the whole.Expence of the year, we shall then, at the end of the War, find ourselves, with respeft to debt, precisely where we were at the beginning. This we understand to be the system which is adopted. We know it requires Fortitude tO submit to the privations which such a system renders indispensable, Init we will not believe that there is not Public Virtue enough in the Nation to submit even to greater privations than are at present tequtred, should they become necessary, because there is no alternative between submitting to them, and surrendering every thing which a Briton so justly deems invaluable. Mr. PITT evidently did not think it necessary to defend this system. Indeed there was no necessity for any defence, no attack of any sort having been made upon it. Mr. F'ox did not attend in his place. Having opposed the War, he is very probably re. serving himself • fur the purpose of obje6ling to the means of carrying it on. We confine ourselves in these remarks to the S:yrient which lias been adopted. Much information in the detail, we have no doubt; may be intro. duced, It is surely well to try experiments with a view of „rendering the Income Duty.as little vexa. tious as possible—the attempt at least is laudable. Whether any essential improvement can be effetled We have much doubt. Ministers would clo well to tirt every degree of inve,tigation, fur it is very material to have no grilund for cavil hereafter to . faste n upon. Many plausible schemes may be de. vibedi by which Concealment, so desirable to N ierc4intile Men, may be cft,:tled, but where Con. cealmcnt is allowed, the means of dete4ling evasion are given up. We forbear entering further upon thi.subjea, until we ba ,. /e examined the details of the Bills fur curyit)2, Case Measures into execu. This day a : . :lelgsage, it is expected, %yin be de livered to both flou4es of Parlianient from His MAJE',:TY, relative to arming the Country, and making due preparation against Invasion. Tuesday evening the ROYAL, FAMILY walked on the Terrace at Windsor. tier Majosty's band, and the Stafibrdshire Militia band ‘vere stationed, there and played several excellent pieces of martial music while the Royal Party were walking. On c?ccOunt of the Ascot Races, Windsor was extremely f ull, and a great •concourse of company was on the Terrace. At nine o'clock - the sane evening, His Royal 111 2h'ness the DUKE of CANIURiDGE arrived with his buite, On his Royal Highness's arrival being announced, Their DilAi ESTI LS and the Pairrett;”3 hasteited'tn meet him at the entrance of the Lodge, and the whole Family ngratulated His Royal Fl ghness on his safe arrivaco l. His Royal liighness left Hanover in such haste, that he was obliged leave most of his luggage behind. The Bells of Windsor rung on the arrival of the ROYAL DUKE. At eight o'clock yesterday morning the Royal Family attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, Windsor. Soon after breakfast, His MAJcsTr, the Dukes of COMB Lit GAM) and CAMBRIDGE, Princess 83. and AMELIA, attended by General GARTH, Colonel FITZROY, MajOr DESBROW, Sir W. and Lady PITT, Lord VILLIERS, Lord HENLEY, and Colonel CARTWRIGHT, took an airing on horse back in Windsor Great Park, and inspected the different farms till near 2 o'clock. HER MAJ F STY, and the PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and MAZY, attended bythe Countess of AYLESBURY, Lady ISABELLA THYNNE, and Lady MATILDA WINYARD, walked to Frogmore, and viewed the alterations and improvements that ~re making there, till about one o'clock, when the . Royal Parry returned. to the Lodge in two coaches. It is reported that the Royal Family . will go to Lyndhurst instead of Weymouth this Summer. Yesterday three Horses started for the Plate, at Ascot Heath Races ; they ran two heats, and Mr. DURAND'S Morgan Rattler proved vidor. We understand that the principal part cf His MAJESTY'S Plate at Hanover, and all the Horses at-I Carriages were removed upon the approach of the French to that Electorate. Had the Hanoverians .hewn the determined spirit which their charader istic bravery as a people would have led the world to expect, the DultE. of CAMBRIDGE would have stood by them to the laq, but the plan for raising the Country en mane, was not attended with any portion of thi promised success. • Yesterday afternoon M. SCR lISIMELP ENNINCK re. ceived his Passports, and leaves town this evening, on his-return to Holland. The Lady and family of this Minister remain fur some time in this Country. Mr. LISTON was accompadied from Holland by Mr. JAMts CRAUFURD, His Majesty's Agent at Rotterdam, together with Mrs. CRAUFURD. • CRAUFURD, we understand, was to have been ar. rested, by order of the French Government, at the same time with Mr. SEVR lour, the Agent for Packets at Helvoet, but escaped by taking refuge in the Ambassador's home at the Hague. When Mr. Ross the Messenger left St. reterl i.ure), which was on the z;th ultimo, the account had just been received of Lord WHITWORTH 's de. parture from Paris. Intelligence of this event created a great deal of agitation at Petri-steer:b. A detinand has been made on the part of France to the Court of Denmark, that the North side of the . Elbe shall he so guarded, that no Foreigners shall be permitted to land on it ; and letters from Ham burgb go so far as to state, that the French even want to garrison C o p en h agen an d Ehi nenr, to prevent the importation at those places of Goods from England. In the present state of the Con tinent,.we must not be surprized at any length to which French arrogance may soar, or to which the most criminal apathy may submit. Their , Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CL AR ENC . and CUMBERLAND, were amongst the Peers who divided on Monday last in favour of Mr. BR Y DGES'S Claim to the Barony of Chandos. . Yesterday the First and Second Battalions of the First Regiment of Foot Guards had a grand field. day in Hyde Park. Also the Second Regiment of Life Guards, commanded by Lord CATHCART, had a 11,.1d.day. The Horse and Foot being near each other made a very grand appearance. The Honourable General Fox, Commander in Chief of the Troops in Ireland, is appointed a Privy Counsellor in that Country. The Armoury in the Tower is at this time in the highest' condition, both for the quantity and quality of Ordnance Stores of every description : it contains nor less than soo,ooo stand of Firelocks, ready to be issued at an hour's notice. Yesterday a Court of DifC6loll was held at the East India HOuse, which adjourned at six o'clock till this day. Mr. T, we believe, has no intention of leaving town ;it present. lie will attend the progress of the Tax Bills through the House of Commons.
