by a late traveller, Dr. How ELL, in the following wo-ds : " This Route I should recommend, pro videl the traveller can bear fatigue, will content hlavelf with such baggage only as is essentially re quisite, and submit, for a short time, to the Turkish customs and manner of living. This, I must confess, would not be agreeable to an unpraaised person : and, I should imagine, would not he - uttempted - with_ out-very powerful inducements. The advantages of this route are numerous ; the traveller, at a small expence, is provided with provisions, and suffers 41c4 delay in waiting till a caravan can be formed, or escorts colleded : if he travels unincumbered with any other baggage besides his mere necessaries, he avoids being detained on the road by custom-house officers, Arid offers no temptation to robbers, ,who, in this country, are seldom guilty of violence for a small booty." The face of the country from Constantinople to Bussora is greatly diversified, and presents the cu rious traveller with a variety - of productions, cus toms, climates, and romantic prospeds, which, by engaging the mind, beguile the length of the jour ney ; it also abounds in the necessaries of life, ant in that essential article water, the want of which has been sometimes so -Tainfully experienced by the zaravans of the Desert. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TLIURSDAY, MAY 10. THE - Seaman's Prize Money Payment Regulation Bill was read a firms time, was ordered to • be .print ed, and to be read a second time tomorrow scin night.. . ivir-joiiNsToNE, from the Chief Secretary's Of fice for Ireland, preented at the Bar of the Hotte, in pursuance of a former order, an Account of the present . State of the Gaols in ht.-land, which was. ordered- to lie on the Table. . Sir W. W. WYNNE requested leave of absence from the Middlesex Committee, in consequence of a letter he had received, stating the necessity of his ;attendance as an evidence at a Court Martial, to be held at Chelsea, on one of the Officers of the Den bighshire-Militia. The Letter being read by the Clerk of the jlouse, 2nd the Hon. Bironet having taken the Oath usual occasions, that his application was not fri. volous or unnecessary, the question was put from the Chair, when Mr, EAcwr,: Li—expressed a wish to be informed, whether it were possible to adjourn the Middlesex Committee during the short absence of the Hon. Baronet, as, if nor, he would think it his duty to oppose the Motion, from a consideration of the im portance of the affairs now under the discussion of that Committee. Lord MARSHANI (the Chairman of the Commit_ tee) stated, for the satisfaction of the Hon. Gentle man, that be had it in contemplation to move fur leave to adjourn the Committee for the period during which die Hon. Baronet's absence might be neces sary. The question was then agreed to, and Sir WAr_ KIN WILLIAMi WYNNE accordingly obtained leave of absence from the said Committee, for Monday and Tuesday. next. Lord MARsiiAm then moved, that the .Commit tee appointed to try the merits of the Middlesex Eleetion, have leave on Saturday next, to adjourn till Wednesday, which was agreed to. Mr. Secretary YORKS brought up a Message from His NIAJIVITY, stating, that HIS MAJESTY hay-. ing taken into consideration the circumstances that attended the death of Lord KILWARDEN, the Chief Justice..of-Ireland, and the meritorious charaiffer of that Nobleman,. requested the House would take into their consideration the best means of enabling His MAJESTY to give an annuity of 12001. to the Viscountess KILWARDEN, widow of the said Lord KILWARDEN, during her life, with the power of &ntinuing the same for such a time, and in such a way, as would be most conducive to the interests of his Emily. His MA J ESTY'S Message was ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday next. On the ,Motion of Mr. Lo'Nc, a warrant was is sued for a new Writ for the eledion of a Member to serve for the University of Cambridge, in the room of Mr. Pi rr, who had accepted of thi: offices of First Lord of the Treasury, and Chance:lor of the Exchequer. The SFS AK E R informed the House, that as there was a Ballot standing for to.morrow (f9r Liskeard, we believe), he would take the Chair precisely at half past three o'cluck, and begin to count the House at four. Mr. Rose, in pursuance of a notice he had former ly given, moved, that there be laid before the House, the Evidence that had been taken before the Ilches ter Commit tee, in the course of their scrutiny. On the Ouestion being put, a short conversation took place between Sir Wm. YOUNG, Mr. Rose, and Sir WAT 4 N VVILLIAMS WyNrie, in which it appeared, that Mr. Rose had brought forward his Motion, not from any disrespeEt to that Committee, hit merely that the House might be satisfied as to the nature of the evidence, as he understood reports had been .circulated, that the case of Ilchester was nut altogether unlike that of Aylesbury. The Motion was negatived without a division. Having disposed of the other Orders of the Day, the House adjourned till to-morrow. MAILS. DUE. liamburgli PRICE OF STOCKS, THIS DAY AT TWILLVT O'CLOCK. 56ii I Om;lium cgrCsols THE SUN. &QLEM Qpis DICERS LALSUM AUDLAT ? IONDON, MAY ti, 1804. The arrangements for the New Administration ;;c elmost completed, and the Public will, we 44 confident, be satis4t4 wheP we ,apnopcc thp ARR IVLD. I • details, as we have do doubt we shall be able •tti do to-morrow. We shall then be able to contra., did the reports which have been so industriously circulated, for purposes too obvious to be mis taken, of the difficulties which have occurred in forming the Administration. Mr. ADDINGTON yesterday waited upon His MAJESTY at Buckingham-house, and resigned his Office : Mr. PITT was immediately appointed First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Ex. chequer. In consequence of his accepting these Offices, a New Writ was moved for in the House of Commons last night by Mr. LONG, for the University of Cambridge. The other Ap pointments, as we have already stated, we have no doubt of being able to lay before our Readers to. morrow. At present it is certain, that Lord MEL VILLE', Lord HARROWEY, the Duke of MON. TROSE, and Lord CAMDEN, will hold important Offices in the New Administration. We have already distinctly and candidly stated, that we should have been glad to see the experiment tried, of an Administration comprising the talents of all Parties. It was, however, an experimelit which might possibly have failed, and indeed no thing but the peculiar circumstances in which the Country is now placed, could haVe led us to entertain a wish that the trial should have been made : we know that many persons of great weight and talents, who will cordially support Mr. PITT'S Administration, were extremely averse to it. But without entering into any conjectures upon the probable success or failure of such a Plan, we are convinced that the Administration formed under the auspices of Mr. PITT, will meet with the decided approba tion, and receive the cordial support of the Coun try. We shall then have an Administration which, in addition to the transcendent talents of Mr. PITT; will retain all the efficient parts of the last Administration, and will retain there inst:d of the GRENVILLES, who certainly did not form the most popular part of Mr. PITT'S last Ad ministration. With respel to the condua which the GRENVILLE Party have upon this occasion thought themselves justified in adopting, we shall content ourselves for the present with saying, that it has excited our utmost astonishment ! LAST night we received Paris Papers to the 28th talt. The only material Article which they con. Lain, is an order of the Minister of Marine, direft ing the confiscation of such Neutral Vessels as in. troduce into France Spies from England. How easily this may be converted into a pretext for conficating any Neutral Vessel whatever, or arresting any person on board such vessel, for the purpose of gratifying the caprice or the vengeance of the French Government, needs Only to be men. tioned to appear perfealy evident. A Flotilla of 64. Vessels escaped from Honfleur on the 23d ult. and got safe into Boulogne Roads. Letters from the Hague, mention the receipt of Dispatches from Admiral HARTS INK'S Squadron, announcing its safe arrival at the Cape of Good Hope, from whence, after taking on board a re inforcement of one Battalion, the' Squadron pro. ceeded on its voyage to Batavia. THE HaMbUrgig, Mail due on Wednesday, arrived this morning. The following are the most impor tant articles of intelligence which it brings : VIENNA,' APRIL 75. —Louts XVIII. has no tified to our Court the death of his Nephew, the DUKE Of ENGUIEN. The English Frigate the Narcissus, of •H guns, is arrived at Venice. APRIL z6.—The Answer returned by our Court to a Foreign Ambassador, who proposed the even tual delivering up of certain individuals, is full of moderation, wisdom and justice. It states, that as these individuals are in future to be considerqd as Suhje4s of His Tvlaj,:sty, .they will, in . case s,sy authenticated charges shall be brought against them, he tried according to the Laws of this Country. Hitherto, however, no formal charge has been brought against any individual. BAVARIA, APRIL 25.-The English Envoy Mr. DRAKE, is again at Munich, and waits the instruc tions of his Court. HANOVER, MAY t.—The further transportation of Artillery brought hither from Luneburg, is de ferred for the present. , Twelve men are to be taken from each company of the French Chasseurs, which are now stationed partly in the Dutchy of Lauenberg, and partly in the Hanoverian villages on the Elbe. Of these will be formed three Companies, which will return to France with the German Legion, The places of these men will be supplied by new Recruits from France. MILAN, APRIL 16.—0 n the 19th inst. the Minister at War issued a proclamation, addressed to the Italian Youth, inviting them to complete ttt C.44rd of the First Consul And Puswerita Many young men have already entered into this Guard. Our Cavalry is now well mounted on Hanoverian Horses. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 28.—PrivalIe Letters from .Paris contain the following intelligence: " Many ad dresses, which within the last fortnight have been presented to the First Consul, make a comparison be. tween him and Charles the Grear,to induce him to take upon himself the dignity of Emperor of France. It is at least certain, that in a short time a change, ac. cording to the general wish, will take place, with respe& to the duration and stability of the Govern. [tient, relative to which, preparatory communica tions have already been, made to some Foreign Courts. It is even said, that the Imperial man tle is already embroidered, and the ceremony of the Coronation arranged ; and that , besides the Imperial Coronation, there will be another as King of Lombardy. It is added, that the Counsel lors of State will take the • title of Imperial Counsellors, that the Senators will receive a new title, and' that there will be Delegates and Sub-Delegates introduced, who will be Members of the Legislative Body and the Tribunate, which will receive a new Constitution. How far these latter assertions are well founded, time must spew. The French now expect with an impatient curiosity, the moment when the First Consul will confirm their happiness for futtiiity. LUCIEN BONAPARTE has made an exchange with the Roman Prince JusTINIANI, by which he cedes to him Estates he has in France, for others appertaining to the Prince in Italy. HAGUE, MAY I.—Yesterday . evening the Mi nister at War, BERTHIER, arrived at Utrecht. Our Minister at War, PYMANN, had received orders from our Government to repair. thither, to arrange with BERTHIER the particulars of the Expedition.. -Be fore this Expedition is undertaken, however, the French Troops, if they should not have to celebray an event which will, commence a new epoch in the History of France, will at least have an opportu nity to express their wishes, and give their votes in favour of the establishment of an Hereditary Succession to the Go‘Arnment in the Family of Bo- NAPARTE, in the same manner as the Consulship was conferred on him for life ; .and many persons believe that the journey of the Minister at War, BERTHIER, has a relation to this °Neel. This morning arrived a Mail from New. York and . Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the Princess Augusta Packer. Yester4y about twelve o'clock, His MArEsTY, accompanied by the QUEEN and PRINCESSES in two carriages, and escorted by a party of Light Horse, proceeded to take an ,airing through Mary_ le-bone and Islington, and returned by, the City. road to Finsbury.squate, where they were met by one of the East India Company's Regiments, which drew ,up and presenred arms. .The Royal Party then proceeded down Bishupsgate.street, and returned over London and Westminster Bridges to the Queen's House, where they arrived, about - two 'o'clock. HiS MAJESTY was greeted with repeated huzzas as he passed through the different neighbourhoods, and by the different•charity schools,who were peraAnbulating the boundaries of the parishes', according .to annual custom, it being Holy Thursday. It is said that the Marquis of SALISBURY 19 to be succeeded by the Duke of BEAUFORT, as Lord Chamberlain.

The Venus Lugger arrived at Yarmouth on Tues day evening, with Dispatches from Admiral THORN BOROU6H, who commands the N , irth Sea Squadron. Since the arrival of these Dispatches the report has been very current that the Dutch Armament was at single anchor on Saturday last, ready to put to sea, with a force of 30,000 troops on board. The late reigning DUKE of SAYE GoTHA,'whose death we recently mentioned, was born on the 30th of January, 1745. He forbade,-in his will, all ce. remony at his burial, except such as is usual for his lowest subje&s. He desired to be bilried in his English garden, at the feet of the coffins containing the bodies of two of his•already deceased children. No speech or sermon is to.be pronounced, and no monument is to he erected over him; but he desires his second Son, Prince FREDERICK, to place a tree upon his grave. To this Prince he bequeaths his English garden, which is to be open, as formerly, to all visitors. On Monday last, being the Birth-day of Her Roy a l Highness the Dutchess of YORK, Sir Rica.
