IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. TUESDAY, MAY I. IN the Appeal from the / Court of Chancery, Richardsons .v.-the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge," Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL and Mr. RIC HAR Ds were heard for the Respondents. The further hearing was deferred until two o'clock on Friday next. . The Earl of SUFFOLK stated, that it was his in. tention, if •the expefted discussion had taken place yesterday, to have addressed their Lordships on a subjeA closely connected with the Defence of the Country. He would, with the permission of their Lordships, now mention the substance of the obser vations he intended to have made, and he would do, it in the hope, that, whatever the Administration may be, they would rake it into serious considera. tion. The season for placing the Volunteers upon permanent duty was now arrived, and he trusted. that some proper system of discipline would be laid down for them, and that pro.. r and experienced, Officers would be appointed to see it carried into. effett. If some regular plan, of discipline was not fixed previous to their being called out, but little' benefit eauld be produced by the exercise on the, usual number of days. He hail no Motion to sub., mit to their Lordships at present, although jossibly, if the debate had gone on yesterday, he should have thought it his duty to submit to the House a Reso. lotion, to the effca of what he had just stated. Lord Ho um said, that as the Mtecion of Thanks to the Officers in India, of which he hadgiven notice for to.tnorrow, would be produftive ofsorne incon- , Venience, in point of attendance on that day, to some Noble Lords, he would move that it be dis charged, and that it be taken into consideration on Thursday next, for which day he moved that the Lords should be summoned. Mr. AL LTHROP presented at the'Bir, an Account of the Receipts and Disbursements by the Coinmis sioners of the Thames Navigation. The several Bills on the Table were passed in their respective stages. Adjourned to, half past three tomorrow. LOUSE OF COMMONS.

AT a crisis like the present, wLen the Admini stration may be considered as virtually dissolved, it is natural that a variety of speculations respeBing the persons who are likely to form the new Admi. nistration, should be offered to the Public, and ac. cordingly several of the papers of this day have a&ually published Lists of the Members of the new Cabinet. We feel too much respea for our Readers, to trifle with them upon so important a subje6l, or to mislead them by conjectures, When 'we are not in possession of fans. We ca.n, however, un dertake to state with certainty,. that Mr. PITT will be at the head of the new Administration, and we have the strongest reasons to believe, that 1-4 ts MA esTv has expressed the 'greatest satisfa&ion at the return of that illustrious Statesman *to office.—No further arrangements have yet been made, but when they are concluded, the Public may rely upon find ing the earliest and Imst authentic information upon the subjeet in THE SUN. —Yesterday morning His MAissTy rode in the Queen's Riding-House, and at one u'cicck gave an audience to Mr. MIDI NG TON. Yesterday the Lord Mayor ordered the price of Bread to be continued the same as last week. Mr. TtEßNtx.sent in his' resignation of his Of fice of Treasurer of the Navy on Monday, and it was reported that the CHANCELLOR had resigned the Seals yesterday.—The rumour, we believe, arose from the Seal which was to be held yesterday, being unexpeftedly postponed. The Senate of Hamhurgh has acceded to the de. mand of the French Minister, and has, at his in. ;once, permitted domiciliary visits to be made in that City, to discover any persons who may be ob noxious to the French Government, or who may have any papers that can lead to the discovery of any plots or designs that may be formed against it, .On Saturday last the Royal West India Regiment of Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hut s RI, were inspeeted by Colonel D A LRYMPLE, and afterwards reviewed lay General Fox ; they were in complete marching order.

Downing-stretl, 30th April, 1304; The experience which alt Europe has had of the conduCt of the French Government, would have induced His Majesty to pass over in silence, and to treat with contempt, all the accu sations • Which that Government might have made against His Majesty's Government, if the very extraordinary and unanthorized replies .which several of the Ministers of the Foreign Powers have thought proper to make to a recent cam. - - munication front the Minister for Foreign Athirs at Paris, had not given to the subject of that Communication a greater • importance than it would otherwise have possessed. His • Majesty has, in consequence, directed me to - declare, that he hopes he shall not be reduced to the necessity of repelling, , with merited scorn and indignation, "...the atrocious and utterly unfounded calumny, that the Government of His Majesty have - been a party to plans -of Assassination." An accusation already made with equal falsehood and calumny by the same authority against the Members of His Majesty's Government during the last war-=an accusation incompatible with the honour of His Majesty, and the known charader of the British Nation, and so completely devoid of any sha dow of proof e. that it may be reasonably presumed to have been brought forward at the present moment, for no other purpose than that of diverting the attention of Europe from the contemplation of 'the sanguinary deed which has recently been perpetrated by the direct order of the First - Consul in • France, in violation of the Right of Nations, and in contempt of the most simple lanis of humanity and honour.• That His Majesty's Government should disregard the feel ings of such of the Inhabitants of France as are justly dis contented with the existing Government of that Country ; 'that they should refuse to listen to.their designs for deliver- , ing their .Country from the degrading yoke of bondage under which it groans, or to give them aid and assistance, as far as those designs are fair and justifiable, would be to refuse fulfilling those duties which every wise and just. Government owes to itself, and to the world in general, under circumstances similar to the present. Belligerent Powers have an aCknowledged right to avail themselves of all discontents that may exist in Countries with which they may be at war. The exercise of that right (even if in any degree doubtful) would be fully sanctioned in the . present' case, not only by the present state of the trench Nation, but by the condu.a of the Government of that Country, which, since the commencement o-f the. War, has constantly kept up communications with the disatfeeted in the territories of H Majesty, particularly in Ireland, and which has assembled a t this present moment on the -Coasts of France a Corps of . Irish Rebels, destined to second them in their deSigns against that. SIR, . , part of the United Kingdom.: Under these circumstances, His Majesty's Government would be unjustifiable, they negle&ed the right they,have to support, as far as is compatible with the principle of the' Law of Nations, which civilized Governments have hitherto acknowledged, the efforts of such of the inhabitants of France, as are hostile to the present Government. They ardently de sire, as well as all Europe, to see an Order of Things eitablish ed in that Country more compatible with its own happiness, and with the security of the surrounding Nations ; but if that. wish cannot be accomplished, they are fully authorized, by the strictest principles of personal defence, to endeavour to' cripple the exertions, to distratt the operations; anti to con found the plans of a Government, whose system of s.varfate, , as acknowledged by itself, is not only to distress the commerce, to diMinish the power, and to abridge. the dominions of its Enemy, but also to carry devastation and ruin into the very, heart of the British Empire. - - in the application of these principles, His Majesty has commanded me to dcclare, besides, that his Government have. never authorized a single act which could not stand the test of the strictest principles of justice, and of usages recognized, and . pradised in all au.s. It any Minister, accredited by Ills Majesty at a foreign Court, has kept up correspondence with • persons resident in France, with a view to obtain information upon the designs of the French Government, or for any other le, primate ob4ed, he has done nothing snore that what Ministers, under similar circa.: instances, have always been considered as having a .right to do with respect to the Countries with which their Sovereigns were at war, and he has done, much less than that which it could be proved the Ministers and Commercial Agents .of France have. done, towards the dis affected in different parts of His Majesty's territories : thus, hi carrying on such a correspondence, he would not have in any manner violated his public duty. A Minister in a Foreign Country is obliged, by the nature of his °dice and the duties of his situation, to abstain from all communication with the dis affected of the Country where he is accredited, as well as from every other ad injurious to the interests of that. Country ; but he is not subjed to the same restraints, with resped to Coun tries with which his Sovereign is at War. His actions to them may be praise-worthy\ or blameable, according to the nature of the actions themselves ; but they do-not constitute any violation of his public charader, except in as far as they militate against.the Country, or the security of the Country, where he is-accredited. But of all the Governments which . 'pretend to be civilized , Governments, that of France is'the one which has the least ' right to appeal to the Law Of Nations, With what confidence can it appeal to that Law ? A - Government which, twin the commencement of hostilities, has never ceased to violate it ! I t promised protedion to the British Subjects resident in France, and who might be desirous of reinaining there - aftertheiere of ' l-fiS Majesty's Ambassador. It revoked that promise without -. any previous notice—it conderunOd those same.persons" to be Prisoners of War ; and it detains them, still in that -quality, . in contempt of its other erigagements;and'of the usages um versally observed by all civilized nations. :It•lias applied that new and barbatons law, even to inclividitalewho had au thority and protedion of the French Ambassadors and . Mini seers at Foreign Court, -- f6" ItaltattlYertglri r gillee Oil' Their return to their own •esuntry.- It commanded -the seizure of an English Packet-boat- in one of the ports of Holland, though its Ambassador in that country had previously en gaged to let the Packet-boats of the respe6tive countries- pass in perfect safety, until notice should be gtven to the contrary. It has detained and 'Condemned in one of the ports or France, a vessel which had been sent thither as a matter of . indul gence, in order to carry to France the French Governor of one of the ditnrent Islands which have been conquered by His Majesty's Atins. Its conduct relative to the Garrison ofSt. Lucia has not been less extraordinary ; the princiol Fort of that Island had been taken by assault, yet the Garrison had been allowed all the privileges of prisoners of 'war,. and had been permitted to return to France, with an understanding that an equal number of English prisoners should be released. Yet, not withstanding that indulgence on the part of the Bri tish Commander, to which, by the nature of the - case, the French Garrison could not have had the slightest pretension, not a single prisoner has been restored to this country. • Such have been the proceedings of the FrenCh•GoVernMent towards the Power with which it is at War. What has its eondud been to those Powers with which it remained at Peace ?. I there a Treaty it has not broken ? Is there an ad . joining Territory whose Independence it has, not violated ? I t is for the Powers .of the Continent to d eter mine how long they will tolerate these unexampled outrages. Yet is it too iruch to say, that if they do sutler without eontroul or resistance the continuance of such a course of proceedings on the part of any Government whatever, they will soon see an end to that salutary system of Public Right, in virtue of which the - Societies of Europe have maintained and enforced for ages, ' the sacred obligations of HuManity and justice. .
