WE, had yesterday the satisfaAion of congratu lating our Readers upon the happy event of the signing the PItELIMINARIES of PEACE. with the French Repu3lic; and we were enabled at the same time to present them with a kind of outline of the Terms of the Treaty—an important piece of in formation' which THIS PAPER ONLY contained. It is against established usage for the Articles of a Peace . .to be cfficially published till the Ratification shall have taken place; but we have the satisfalion of being able to state, from good information, the substance of the most material Conditions, which .we think must generally be considered as -honour_ t. able to this Country... . • , GREAT BRITAINRETAINS TH t ISLANDS OF CEYLON IN. THE EAST, AND TRINI DAD IN THE", WEST INDIES ; restoring all the other French, Spanish, and Dutch Possessions, but with the Stipulation that THE CAPE oF GOOD HOPE Is To REMAIN A FREE PORT. MALTA IS TO BE INDEPENDENT BOTH OF GR.EAT•BRITAIN, AND FRANCE, AND TO BE RE STORED TO THE ORDER OF ST. JOHN OF JERUSA LEM, UNDER THE PROTECTION OF A THIRD ' PowEg, TO BE AGREED UPDX. EGYPT IS TO BE RESTORED TO THE PO RTE, WHOSE DOMINIONS, AS WELL AS VIOSE OF NAPLES, AND PORTUGAL, WITH SOME IN CONSIDERABLE EXCEPTI O NS, ARE GUARAN TEED IN THEIR FULL INTEGRITY, As 'THEY STOOD BEFORE THE WAR. NAPLES AND ROME ARE TO BE EVACUATED BY THE FRENCH, AND PORTO FERRAJO BY THE ENGLISH T Ruops. • The bare recital of theSe Terms, is, we think, sufficient to afford abundant Tatter of Congratulation to the Public, .and of Gratitude, and Applause, to the Government. At the close of a long and ardu, ous Contest, in which a powerful and desperate Enc . = my direCted its Attack against our Independence, and Existence as a Nation, and which has lcd to the Subversion, or Humiliation of so many of the States of Europe, to have resisted success fully their gigantic efforts, and to have main tained all our Dominions untouched in the midsCof general calamity, would be to have ob tained the principal objet} for which we engaged in the War. But our gratification does not stop here ; 'we have not only maintained, but heighten-, ed the National Charaaer, and have carried the Naval and Military Glory of the Country . to its highest pitch. We have proved by our efforts, that its KeSocores and Spirit exceed all former calculation, and have raised in propor tion its credit and consideration in Europe. And we have seen the War terminate with a series of signal, and almost unparalleled Successes in differ ent quarters of the Globe. We have rescued from the hands of the Enemy, those Possessions con quered from our Allies; which had the most imme diate cOnneaion with our essential interests, Our distant Dominions, which we bring entire out of the Contest, have in the course of it, increased in Wealth and Prosperity beyond the most brilliant periods of Peace ; and of our numerous and extensive Conquests, we have judiciously retained two solid and vhluable Acquisitions ; important indeed in themselves, but Much more so, as being the Corn minding Naval Stations in the Eastern and WeStern World, and thereby affording additional Security and Proteetion to the great and, in cream°. sources of our Wealth and Cominerce.- 77: By consenting to restore: all the other Posse.. sions which we had gait 4 in the War, we have -- ronsvvy s• AuP iig,smdisernent, 'Put Security, for what we Al ready pOSSeS6o and that our Moderation is equal to our Firmness, .But above all, in return for those Concessions, we have not only secured honourable Peace to ourselves, but have extended the Benefit of our Successes to Allies who had ndthing to hope but from our support. We have thus raised a last ing and glorious Monument of the Disinterested ness, good Faith, and Generosity of Great Britaiu, and have taught an useful lesson to the other Powers of Europe, by skewing the Contrast between the Situation of those, who vainly sought their separate Safety in premature and abjea Submission, and those who had the Courage and Steadiness to persist in a faithful adherence to their Engagements to this Country, and who now find, by the Event, that we want neither the inclination nor the Power to afford them effelual Proteaion. The above intelligence, as might be expelled, threw the whole City into a tumult of exultation. Such had been the laudable sccrecy'of Government, that very little expectation prevailed of so sudden and so, happy an issue to the Negotiation p the effect, therefore, upon the mind of the Public was proportionately great.----It amounted to a delirium of joy which we doubt not will increase as the happy event is more generally known and con sidered. The bells of the City rung merry peals the whole day, and every countenance was enlighten ed with the smile of Satisfaction. WE had yesterday the pleasure to state the arrival of a Messenger from Lord Et.o trz at Constantinople, the bearer of Dispatches announcing an event.which, if the Country were less agitated by the important Intelligence respeding, Peace, would be deemed of most considerable moment. This is nothing less than that General MENOU HAD AGREED TO A CAPITULATION FOR THE SURRENDER OF ALEXANDRIA. On the 17th 'of August General HUTOirNsoN invested that Fortress with the large force which was under . his command. The co_ operation of Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S naval force as sisted him materially by the destruetion of the French. Gun-boats and some Batteries between Lake Mareoiis and the shore, which tool: place on the zest of Au gust. After the accomplishment of this, General MENOU sent a Fkg of Truce on the 27th of Au gust, to demand an Armistice for three days, which was granted him. The French General, finding all means of defenCe destrm'ed, acceded to the Capitu_ latic)n concluded by General BELLLARD. Such are nearly the details of the fortunate conclusion of our Expedition to Egypt, of which, by a singular coin cidence, the accounts reached us on the same day as .the termination of the War. It seems natural to suppose that the Surrender of Alexandria must have b ee h known, to the Chief Consul before it could have arrived in this Country. WE this morning received Par;s Papers to the Ist inst. They are of little importance. The Public of Fars, though no notification could have of course been made to• them of the event which took place on 'Thursday here, appear to have be_ come sensible of the approach of Poace, and the French Ftinds, we find, had risen to szl. We extraa the following articles from the series of Papers : " Scarcely (says the itionite'ur) had the ancient Bishops resident in France been made acquainted with the dispositions of the Pope's Brief of the 15th of August last, before they hastened to obey it. The Bishop of MARSEILLES, it man of 92 years of age, wrote on the 2/St to the Archbishop of CORINTH, as follows '' I receive with satisfaaion and filial submission, the letter you have addressed to me on the part of our Holy Father the Poe t. Full of ve neration and of obedience for his Decrees, and desir ous of being perpetually united, to him in heart and mind, I do not hesitate to transmit into your hands my resignation of the Bishopric of Marseilles. It is enough that he deems it necessary for the preserva tion of Religion in France, for me to resign it." The Bishop of SENLIS writes on the same day as follows : " Firm attachment to Religion, and to preserve the Unity of the Catholic Faith, to secure the advantage and the welfare of the Faithful, and to second the paternal invitations of His Holiness, I voluntarily and readily abandon the Episcopal Sec of Senlis, and depose my resignation in the hands of His Holiness." The Bishop of ST. CLOUD has already made the same declaration : " I respea too much the orders of His Holiness (says he in his Letter of the Ist of of August), not to conform to them. No sacrifice will cost me dear, when the reestablishment of Religion, and of the glory of its divine Author, shall be in agitation." The Bishop of ST. PAPOUL, in his Letter of re signation, says—" I resign, that nothing nay op pose yo2r futufe union : happy to Ile able at this to the prosperity of Frenchmen." i - - - I consider myself as happy (said the Bishop of , ALAts), in being able to assist, by my resignation, the wise, benevolent, and conciliatory views of His Holiness. I pray to God to bless his pious inten_ tions, and to spare him all the affiidions which may affed his paternal heart." The resignations of the Bishops of S-r. MALO and of ANct zts, .arcin the -same spirit, and these sen timents perfe&ly accord with :hose expressed by the thirty EishopS who were Members of the Con stituent Assembly on the 31 of May, 1791. " We transmit you our resignations (say they to the Sovereign Pontiff), in order that nothing may be j wanting to assist your Holiness in re-establishing I the peace of the Gallican Church."—They add af terwards, "we have hitherto had the advantage of obtaining the unanimous suffrages of :our Colleagues, and we do not, when OfFering an exposition of our principles for the removal of all difficulties, do it in the fear of any opposition from men of their noble and generous dispositions." BoußDE4ox, SEPT. 27.-- I Ne have received in telligenoe here, through the medium of American Papers,, which is very irnrrobable. It relates to a Constitution pretended to be proclaimed for the Colony of St. Domingo, by ToussAt NT LOI;,V TORE. It bears such marks of improbability, that we do not think it necessary to insert any Extraas. lLvrlsaoN, SFr r. 1 2.--The cc:wings which sub sists bet ween the Ministers of Cologne and of Prussia, cn account of the Protest, assumes every day a more decisive charataer. It is, however, the only consequence of the violent scene which took place at their first interview. The Diet is to assemble to-morrow, to deliberate On the last Note of the Republican Chars-i-des.A . nraires. It is thought the Vote of Austria, with respe& to the mode of settling the Indemnities by a Commission, will have the preponderance. On Thursday THEIR MAJESTIES, PRINCE ADOL-• PHUS, the PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, MARY, SOPII lA, and AMELIA, with the Earl and Countess of AIL ESBU RY, -Lord WA LSINGHAM, the Hon. Col. Ft Tz o Col.. CARTWRIGHT, Major DEsa °micro H, Lady C. DURHAM, Lady M. WIN YARD, and Lady BELLASYSE, arrived at the Star and Garter Inn in Andover to dinner, at half past five. The ROYAL FAMILY were received by a detach ment of the First Regiment of Dragoons, and the An dover Volunteers, under arms; and the'acclamations of a great concourse of people of the town and neigh hourhood welcomed the arrival of their beloved So vereign and his Royal Consort and Family. The ringing of bells, a general and brilliant don in the evening, and other loyal demonstra tions of joy, testified the great gratification the Inhabitants felt from the Royal Visit to their Town. . On Friday morning, between eight and nine, the Bailiff' and Corporation had the honour of attend ing firs MAJESTY with a dutiful and loyal Address on the occasion, which was most graciously receiv ed by HIS MAJESTT from the hands of the BailifF. About ten the Royal Party set off, in high health and spirits, for Windsor, apparently well pleased with the instances of loyalty and zealous attachment evinced towards them by all ranks of persons, and highly satisfied with the very comfort able accommodations provided for them at the Star and Garter Inn. THEIR MAJESTI ES and Suite yesterday returnee to Windsor. On arriving at the town they, were received by, the Loyal Windsor Association, and the Stafford-. shire Militia. His Royal Highness the PRINCE Of WALES, and DUKES Of KENT and CUMBERLAND (with parr of his Regiment), proceeded with them to the Lodge. .The Windsor Cavalry and P Lion were also drawn out, and a great number 01 - spetlat - Ors were assembled, who greeted them wit h loyal respea. The bells were rung on the occasion- Jo the evening the town was illuminated. " The Etrl and Countess of CARD IGAN, Lord and Laly CATHcART, Lady CAROLINE VVALDEORAVF7 aNiissMAJESTIES atWindso r. GoLD'woßTHY, are attending on THEIR. The Staffordshire Militia, and two Troops of thc- , Toth Light Dragoons, have marched into the new Barracks, ereded at Spittle, near Windsor ; the horse and foot doinpluty there amount to J 300 Men' The PRINCE of WALES, we are happy to say, has returned, on Thursday,. to Carleton House, 0 a state of convalescence, nearly approachin3 to perfect recovery. Every unpleasant consequenc e of his late accident icas, we understand, totally ceased. Stocks had risen to-day One per Cent.—Conso'' s were at noon 671. A very general illumination took place last night , in consequence of the signing of the Preliminari es of Peace. An additional party of the Life Guards were or dered yesterday into Town, in case of any riotou s proceedings from the lower orders of the People, re) compel the inhabitants to illuminate. Lord NELSON sailed on Thursday from the Downs. A dispatch was sent off yesterday fr°,.. fil e the Admiralty to acquaint his Lord s hip with th e signing of Preliminaries. Hostilities are of cour se suspended. • Yesterday a Court of Direaors was .held at the East India-House, when the following Extra SihiP were taken up for six Voyages : A New Ship, building by Mr. Woolmore, 55a TO' S.
