" I have received the Letter which the Admiral has done me the honour to address to me on the part of the King his Sovereign. I have in - answer to state, that since I have received from the Rus sian Envoy at Cvenbagen the Note of M. Count PAHLEN t the Minister of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY, which expresses so clearly the sentiments of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY towards Great Britain, not only on his own part, but also on that of his Allies, I hesitate not an instant to comply with the desire of His MAJESTY for a Suspension of Arms till a de finitive arrangement may be made, which will put an end to the differences which at present subsist between Great Britain and the Powers of the North ; and in order to prove all my anxiety to contribute to this- obje6l, 1 immediately gave orders that the navigation of the Russian, Danish and Swedish Ships in the Cattegat and the Baltic, should hence forth meet with no obstacle or impediment. " I have to entreat the Admiral, to assure the KING, his Master, that with regard to Sweden in particular, it has been so much the more agreeable for me to give these orders, because Hostilities have not yet commenced between us, and because I am assured from these favourable dispositions, that the ancient harmony and friendship, so aivantageons for the common good of the two Powers, will be speedily re-established.

THE certain freedom of the navigation of the Elbe, agreed to, and determined upon by. the,,.three Powers, has produced here a degree of joy, which it is difficult to describe. The interest - of•our Com merce, and the hopes of our Commercial. Men are that this agreement may be confirmed by a speedy Peace, and every thing seems to augur that it will not be long delayed. Already are we assured that the Prussian Troops are immediately to evacuate the Eleftorate of Hanover • and we have almost an assurance given us, that the Danish Troops will march from this place in four days. It is even said that their departure is absolUtely fixed for the iBth. In the mean time, they are exercised daily, and give to our City, in return for its Marks Banco, the pleasaht spedacle of their Military : evolutions , which attraft constantly a great number of the curious inhabitants. They really do make some progress in performing their exercises, particularly their Artillery and Infantry, which manceuvre daily.

(Contirved firm our l'afer Saturiay.) Your Committee have next directed their :then. tion to the present Situation of Ireland, both as disturbed within and threatened from without,, par ticularly with reference to the necessity of those measures, adopted by the Parliament of that Coun try before the Union,. for the suppression of the Rebellion there, which have since been renewed fur a limited period by than of the Voiced Kingdom ; and also of the manner in which file powers thus given have been exercised, and the effect prodwed by them: It appears, that though the efforts of the disaffetted in that Country have happily long ceased to assume the aspect of Rebellion, arrayed in the field against the Arms of their Sovereign, and though the organization established by the United Irishmen may not have been kept up with any regu. lathy, and that many parts of the Kingdom preSent the usual appearance of peaceful industry and loyal subordination ; yet, that at no time 11.!ye there been wanting in others, demonstrations of the same sys. tematic plan of Insurrettion, and marked with the same charaders of unexampled atrocity. The prin cipal Traitors in Dublin continually send_ their Emissaries through the Country, to keep up the spirits of the disaffeaed, by the hopes of support from Foreign invasion. About a year since, a new system of association was about to be established, and a new Executive Diredory formed in Dublin. This was to originate in a head Committee, who were to appoint those on whom they could depend to form regiments, of which each Colonel was to provide the Major and Captains, each Captain his Subalterns, and they the private men. The com. munications were to be verbal, and the buSinest conducted without elections, debates, or Commit tees. This plot, however, being deteded by Go vernment, its progress was checked, if not en,.. tirely stopped. It affords a remarkable coincidence with the intelligence above detailed,- of what has been passing in England, that it appears to have been lately held out to - the disaffetted in Ireland, that whenever an Insurrection shall take place in that Country, which it is intended shall be univer. sally on the same day, a similar explosion is to be made in several of the principal Towns in England, particularly in London, where they are told the disaffeCted are acting on -the same plans and 'prin ciples as the United Irish. The manner in which the Rebellion was originally organized, the secret springs of the ConfederaCy, which set. in motion, and directed to every enormity of private and pub lic outrage, to la'rge a mass of the inhabitants, have long been familiar to the House and to - the-Public. j The object of it being. to disunite that Country from this, by the co-operation of a Foreign Enemy, it may be imagined that the cause will never appear desperate to those engaged in it, while the continu ance of the War still keeps alive the hope of that assistance, encouraged as it may be from time to time by assurances of support from their Ally, or at least from those Traitors to their Cuuntry who still form, in the Capitay,pf that Enemy, a central Com mittee of Rebellion, io instigate Invasion on the one hand, and prepare Insurrection on the other.-- 7 . Their Emissaries are continually passing into Ire- - land for this purpose, where two of them are sup. posed still to be concealed. The views of this Com. mittee, and the means by which they are not asham ed to endeavour to accomplish . them, will be suf. ficiently obvious from the Address to the Irish Sailors in our Fleet, which has "been printed in their name, and prepared on the Continent for extensive circulation. Emissaries; on the other hand, have not been wanting. froth. Ireland, to interest the French Government in support of their cause—one particularly has lately passed over to•the Continent, 'and opened a clirea.comintmication with the Enemy, accrediting himself with them as being deputed by a great body of the Landed Interest of his country, whom the represents as being, like himself, so dis. satisfied with the. Union, that they ,would engage in any concert with France to ptocure the means of establishing, under the guarantee of that Power, 'some new - form of Representative'Go.' verninent. With this view he affords them all the information in his power, of the state of the country, and Of the force employed to protel it ; and suggests the amount OF that which he recom mends , to be sent against it. He stipulates how. ever with his proposed Allies, for the assurance of their property to all the present possessors, in op position to any claim of the Catholics, whom he states still to look forward with }topes of establish. ing a Popish ascendancy ; and it appears that he has been given to understand, that- both the late Direnory and one of the principal MinistCrs 'of the present Government of France, bad coincided in the justice and propriety of that stipulation. The peculiarity of this sittratton of Ireland, both in its internal and external relations, would un_ douhtedly justify extraordinary measures of pre.. caution, which seem called for, not more by atten. Lion to the security of the Government at large, than to the happiness and even existence of the loy al part of the Community. The system of Terror originally adopted' by the Leaders of the United Irish, who first publicly recommended assassination, and then formed. Committees for the purpose of concerting and direling it, has been continued to the present hour," sometimes, as will be seen here after, with the same enorinities ; at. others, with the less fatal, though scarcely less cruel, excesses of inhuinan beating's and floggings. The ostensible °Nes% to which these outrages were direded have ' been different, and are now more frequently in the first instance, those of lowering• items, abolition of Tithes, regulation of Wages, and Price of Provi sions, than those of an alteration in the form and Constitution ,Government. This system could only be counteract ed by the apprehension of prompt and efficacious punishment for the guilty, and . t he sense of security and proteaion fur the innocent.— The regular.course of law affording only peiltxlical occasions.of trial, and providing in the interval no effetlual means for ptote6tipg the witnesses.from seduaion or intimidation, or the Jurymen from out ' rage, was found inadequate to the pressure of ,the case ; while theextension of the mischief, and dr.
