were dizereanisel ; that t`. - .e People were diseon reined e and t! -- .at ~ he could not possibly bring into. the field a force able to cope with that of the Als lies, But, perhaps, they lipprehended' that if the Arms! in was restored to their Country, that it would be such an accession of force as to change" the chances of victor y, and to make the French formidable, when, • without them, nothing was to he feared. No such thing. For what was the lan.. guage; which was held respeEting the Army in Egypt ? It was represented as diminished in num bers to a few' ispirited, discontented, undisciplined, weak,,ditusted, at being detained so long from their Country, and . as - being at least by no means in a situarian to : maintain - a doubtful contest, with . the flower of the. British Forces. He had no great nretensions', to the charac=ter of a. States man. Indeed •he held them himself to be very small. But Le had, indeed, said that Portugal can not be .defended , by money against a 'French and SpaniSh Inv - asion : that it can only be defended by a British Army, and tothis he added, that he doubt ed if he would have .advhed . this application cf the British Force. kntsv that these sentiments fairly laid him orenJo the Right Hon. Gentleman's 'remarks ; for surely, if he apprehendedan Invasion of this Country itself, ,or thought that plans of Inva sion either of it or of Ireland were in the agitation of the Enemy, it wolikr not be unwise in any Statesman to consult first time security of these kingdoms, in preference to affording assistance to. any Ally, however old and faithful, and however .important might, be her preservation and defence. The Right Hon, Gentleman boasts of the accesses' of the War, that he and his - measures have saved the Country, and the( it . is owing to him that Gentlemen now have it in their poWet to deliver their senti ments in this House. Int has not the danger been of his own creating, and now at . the.end of a nine years War, is not the Country exposed to all the same dangers from whith he. pretends to have saved it—exposed to them- with diminished re sources, and with diminished power, relatively to that of : France ? The obstinacy, the pride, the folly and overweening "confidence of that Right Hon. Gentleman and his friends, reiefted all overtures for Peace, when Peace might ,best have been expefted to be obtained on honourable terms, and have left this Country still longer exposed to these dangers. Is this Statesmanlike condua ? Notwithstanding all the boasted individual :successes of this'country in this War, she at one time offered .to give up all the. Conquests made, at least from France ; and let Peace come when it will, this must be one of the condi tions of ir. Where ,then is our boasted success ? He spoke of the conclusion ofreace ; not because he saw any prospea 'of it. The 'present Ministers, 'notwithstanding all their professions :Of a sin cere. desire .for Peace, follow too closely • the steps rot Their predecessors to afford any well ground. ed eXpedations, that under - their _Administration,: it would be attained. But he hoped that, late as it is in the Sessioo se they will yet, before the , end of it, make some commtMication to .the House, to shew to it and the Country, that ifPeaee is not attained, , it arises, not from this Country, but from the Enemy . refusing to. agree to any terms, which in honour or with safety coald be accepted.. .He adhered to his opinion respreting-the proposed Vote OtiSubsi4i. , Mr. Pti'i, in exi)lanation, said he had not spoken of the success of the Allies as certaini but that in Indati,:ing the probabilities, it ,was Iret,ter td run the risque we .dial at that time, than. to have made Peaces. :With respea to the state of the Army of Egypt, the description of it was not given by him,' but, talien from tire accounts sent by that very ,Army, and which were captured by one of Ma . jesty's-Frigates, Mr.' jONES,_in a shOrt Speech, went over hi; former grounds. respeCiing the Convention of El Arish, and attributed the necessity of the present Expedition to ' . the rupture of that Treaty. . .

By this we learn; that a Courier had arrived there from the Emperor At. F X AND ER, with advices that is was not the intention of His IMPERIAT. MAJESTY to secede from the Northern Coalition. This intelli- gence might be considered as unpleasant, were • we not 'already , apprized of the extent to which • the Emperor ALEXANDER means to suppOrt the claims of the Confederacy. ' Admiral Torry's Squ4dron had arrived in the Road of Cap , enbageg. A Letter from Carherona, of the 4.th inst. chews that the best understanding Feratied between the Court of Sweden and the British Admiral.

The KING of PRUS S IA has, however, : assured the Town Bremen, that their Commerce should be in no respekt interrupted, and that their Independence shall be maintained. The Danes have sent home two Re giments that were at Harnburgh, to Holstein.

We rejoice to see' that ‘the Chief Consul still hesitates with respe6l to the great Republican Usurpation, and that this hesitation is probably owing to the dispositions manifested by the new EMPEROR of RUSSIA. In' the Court of Common Pleas yesterday, on a Motion to set aside an Award made between two parties (man and wife), and where it was asserted a Deed of Separation had been entered into, Lord Et.OON took occasion to observe, that in his opinion such deeds were not available at Law; the Ruhlie having an interest in a at3rriage contrail, as well as the parties themselves. . • THE, II AAIBURGH MAIL.

The EMperoi ALEXAN DER, on this oecasionchas written a very flattering Letter, with his own hand, to our beloved HEREDI TARY PRINCE, to testify his admiration of the va lour displayed 'by the Danish Sailors on the ad of April.

' - Since the arrival of Lieutenant-Colonel STE WA RT from England, a'report has been circulated, that a Negociator on the part of the English Government had arrived with him. ANOTHER LETTER; SAME DATE. Four Ships of the Line of the Fleet of Rear_- Admiral TOTTY, have arrived in our Roads. The Fleet of Admiral NELSON', which sailed on the 6th from Kioge Bay, probably to perform some • naval manceuVrcs; is still off the Island of It will thence sail for Rostock and the Afecklenhurg Coasts, to take in provisions.

He con cluded by requesting - the Admiral to assure his Sovereign, that this is the more agreeable to him with respea to Sweden, as no hostilities; had yet taken place, and as, from the preient favoarable prospeas, he considered himself as as sured; that the ancient harmony and friendship, so conducive to the common welfare of both Powers, would speedily be restored.
