THE Proceedings in the House' of "Com Mons last night, have, as we exPeCtea, been made thesubjza of great exultation• by the Opponents of Admini titration ; their triumph; however, we may venture to predid, will be of short duration. With regard to the 'first Division which took place, it is ad . Milted on a ll s id es to have been. purely acci dental : even the leading Paper of the Party takes no credit for the momentary superiority Which they obtained ; it . contents itself with defending its, Friends from any imputation of trick upon the occasion• But the great source of their miltation is, thai on the second. Division the • Majority of the former Minister was not so great as on Minist e r It is, however', to be observed, . that a gener l understanding pr ev ailed b etween D ti both Partie s , V olt the oei,i on u p on t h e pr i n _ le of the Bill, or, in other words, •the real trial Of strength, was -to take' place on the third leading ore. Monday; Under this impression, a great many Meinbers who appr o v e o f th e ,Bill, *tot expetling a Division, did not attend last night' A favourable opporittity, hotvever (as it was thought), of obtaining at least a temporary vid or , presented itself to the Opposition, ' y arid th e y' could scot resist the temptation. White the last Division was taking plate, Mr. Pox, in a manner certainly not unprecedented ; though very yunusual, .:cquainted his friend s i n t h e ' h i'Yi that a Division on the Priociple of the Bill would certainly take place on Monday ; on that thy, therefore, the real sense of the House resFeaing this measure will be known ; bit we by no means admit that the ultimate Division upon this Bill; 'Whatever it may be, is a fair criterion by to estimate the which comparative strength of the Ad.ltinistratioir and their Opponents. This a ' measure which stands entirely upon its own groUnds, and, as We have already stated, is Op_ posed by niany Gentlemen , who are the Friends of Administration npon principles of consistency, be tse tiley had previously voted for the Plan pro c'sed by Mr. 4 i i* oater. Mr. AbCotstaToN divided 1'741 ' t he Opposition on both the Divisions, and seems no Ringer to think that it is so very criminal to Oppose the m easures offsovernment:' It is notsvery easy to t°niedure what ate the principles upon Which that Gentleman and his Friends. are now Idling, or W hat is the object they Wish to obtain: Sup.. Pose, for a mornent, that by joining the present O Pposition ; they should so far succeed as to render it necessary for Mr. Pirt to represent to His MA 3EsTY the neCessity of strengtheningAdministration,' by a jtinflion with some of those who now oppose it ; surely they cannot imagine that Mr. PITT could think of obtaining an accession of strength by a • 'union with Mr. I - loot:cc - rote. In such a case - lox m ost , Mr. • probably would be the person resorted to, and it is for the Gerolethen to wh we aliutie; to nonsider• whether that be the objea they wish to accomplish. YESTERbAY evening we received parts Papers to the Bth i nst. and Dutch joarnah to the 13th. Letters from Frankfort state, that the accession of BONAPARTE to the Imperial Crown of France had been officially notified to the different Germanic States, and that the French Cisiirge d'Uairel at R.atishon had made a general communication upon the subjeft to the Diet, annexin g to i t t h e ,St natus Consultant was conferred by which the Imperial Digni t y The French Minister grave ly te ll s Germany, t h at the law which has raised BONA ARTE to the Thron e of the B OURBONS, has com pleted the organization of the .State i n a manner suitabl e to the eligaii_y of the French People. 1 i -............„..
