He considered also the question in dispute between us and the Northern Powers as not a clear point, but one that required discussion ; not that he had a decided opinion upon it, but he should like to hear it discussed deliberately, for there were grave opinions upon it on both sides in some degree. Both he and Mr. NICHOLS paid very handsome compliments to Sir WILLIAM Sewn-, for the manner in which he pronounced the Judgment of the Court in which he presides, and which relate, in many cases, to the question now in dispute between us and the Northern Powers. Mr. WILBERFORCE approved entirely the Address, and was satisfied that the ambition of our enemy was the only reason why we had not had the blessings of Peace long ago, and there fore we must pursue the contest until Peace shall be obtained on honourable telms. He bad no doubt whatever of the perfeet justice of our claim in the dispute between us and the Northern Powers, and lest the Public should fancy that there was a greater difference in the House than there really was, he thought it right to observe, that no one Member had positively asserted the Right to be as claimed by the . Northern Powers, the ut most extent they went to was to entertain some doubt, whereas, those on the other side were per fialy satisfied ; and they spoke from the best au thorities that are to be found in the books upon that subje&. He entered into a handsome eulo. gium on Sir W. SCOTT, for his decisions of Cases which came before him, many of which had in them some points, analogous to that which was now in dispute between this Country and the Northern Confederacy. He was persuaded, that we should preserve entire the Sovereignty of the Seas ; not that some mildness should not be observed in car_ tying it into effect ; provided the other parties, in a proper manner, applied to our Government far that purpose. Nor bad he much doubt, but that 'these Powers, when they found that the Legislature of this Country were calmly and de liberately determined to support our Maritime Rights, would submit, rather than bring upon themselves the raises) , which must await them, If they compel us to vindicate our rights by hostile force. The Question was then put, and the Addre s s was read a second time and agreed to, and or dered to be presented to His MAJESTY by the whole House. A Committee was appointed to wait upon His MAJESTY, to learn when He will be graciously pleased to receive it. Ordered that . Hts MAJ ESTY'S Speech be taken into further consideration to_morrow. A Committee was renewed, with the same powers as the former, on the High Price of Pro visons, At half past seven o'clock, the House adjourned to this day. AILRANGEMF.NT OI BvstrzEss Fog.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 4, 180!. TII E length of the Parliamentary Debates, which took place on Monday in both Houses of Parliament, their importance, and the lively . in. terest which the First Session of the Imperial Parliament twit necessarily excite, prevented our. yesterday recurring to the Path Pape: to the 28th ult. that arrived on Monday. There can be none of our Readers ignorant, that the possession of Mantua is the most important point which the Negotiators at Luneville had to settle with respect to the interests of the EM PEROR ; and as this puint has been agreed upon in a Convention, which appears to consist of se. veral Articles, many other objets of inferior interest, must, we should suppose, have been determined, and we may consequently consider the Preliminaries of Peace as already signed.— The arrival of the next French Papers will pro bably give us farther information on this head. The Papers of.the 29th contain a Letter from Madrid of the loth January, by which it seems that the PR INC E of PEACE, who has recovered, with usury, the extreme favour he formerly en. joyed at Madrid, has eagerly entered into the views of the French Government with respell to Portugal. The latter State is said to have been threatened with the immediate march of a French and Spanish Army, and there remains no other means to Portugal of avoiding the attack than that of abandoning our alliance for that of France and Spain. An Envoy Extraordinary had been sent with this extraordinary Proposition to Lis_ bolt, thus to draw round that Court the Circle of Pormius. Such is the statement given In this Letter from Madrid, which we shall be doubt less excused for not considering as sufficient to decide our belief and our expeaationc. This French Army, which is represented as on full march, is no other than the Army' of Observa tion of La Gironde. The order for assembling it on the Banks of that River has hardly yet been given, and some time must elapse before it can be executed. It is besides to be calculated upon, that an operation which is to depend on the co operation and assistance of the Spaniards, will not be effeled with any extraordinary dispatch and facility, and Portugal will probably have time to breathe, to reflect at leisure on her situation, and perhaps, to await more favourable circumstances. We arc far, however, from pretending to assert that she will not snake a compromise with the Powers which at this moment press upon her. A Third liarnbsrgb Mail became due this morning, and none had arrived when this Paper was put to Press. TII tI 12 MAJIISTI ts and the Pitttlegssrs yese tcrday morning took an excursion to Kew.

On Monday evening, when strangers were ex. chided, Mr, PITT gave notice, that he would bring forward the Budget on the iSthe Yesterday a General Court was held at the East India House, for the purpose of determining, by Ballot, the following Question : " That it is the opinion of this Court, that the Inquiry into the alledged Abuse of Patronage, ought to be continued."

Admiral Lord HUGH SEYMOUR arrived at Jamaica, from Curracoa, on the Lath of De. comber, in the Sato Parcil a of 8o guns, tHE THEATRE: Driiry.tane. THE• translated' Play of The Striinger was presented forthe first time this season last night; and Mr. KEMBLE resumed his chara&er of the dejected Hero of the Piece: This charaaer is peculiarly well-Calculated lot the talents and qua:: lities et KEMBLE. it demands no very alive exertions, but it requires a judicious conception; strong sensibility, and the habits of polished life, under the veil of misanthropic severity and gloom: These _marks of original charaaer and SuperinF t dUCCd atfcCtioas, KEMBLE exhibited with .p red= sion and pathos, and in the words of GaAy, " O'er the cheek of sorrow threw " A met:m-754 gracv." Mrs. Sinnutis laboured under a severe coldo which somewhat impaired her efforts in the part of Mrs. Haller, but she performed. it altogether with dignity and feeling. In the last scene the struggles of cor,jugal affedion and agonizing penitence were admirably depided. The Play was on the whole very well represented, arid very well received. The Atter-piece was the ITZW Operatic Farce of The Veteran Tar, which at this period " comes home to the business and bosoms" of Englishmen; forcibly appeals to their patriotism and loyalty, and is by no means uncnrcrtaining. It has alsci the strong recommendation of good music and tolerable aeling throughout. There is an addition to this Piece in the - appearance of the French land English Ships in Action, which forms an amusing coup-d'cril. The House was very well attend ed, and the latter Piece also went off with consi derable efreta, to which BANNISTER, jun. SU,ETT, and Mrs. MOUNTAIN, as well as DE CAmr essentially contributed. The unaccompanied strains of the latter, however, are not the most tuneful we have heard, and a lUdicrous feeling arises from the unsuitable compliment which is paid to their melody. It was a mistake to say, that a Council bad been held at Buckingham..lloue on Friday even.. ins last. No Council was held. The SP EAKE R of the House of Commons went thither in the evening,. and had an audieic of 1-1,44 S MAJESTY) which lasted about three hours, Mr. PITT did not himself hear of his Resigner:. 'ion till about ten o'clock on Saturday evening, when, as we have been informed, it was cona municated to him by the SPEAKE R. It afforded no doubt a hearty laugh for the rest of the night. The DUKE of Yoix expressed the most lively surprize when he was informed of the Report of his gleam/. with Mr. PI TT.—The Public may be assured that this Report is just as un. founded as that of Mr. Pitr's Resi ;nation. These rumours were industriously raised and circulated by the retainers of Faaion and Ja. cobinism, for the purpose of creating a temporary alarm in the public mind. We trust the PubliC in future will know how to estimate Jacobin rt , ports. We have only to ask of those very knowing and quell-infirmed Gentlemen who circulate re. ports of Divisions in the Cabinet, bow they should know of such Divisions, if they even ac tually did exist ; for we believe every Cabinet Minister takes an oath to keep secret not only the proceedings in the Cabinet, but the opinion of every individual Member ? How then, we ask, can there be any foundation for the reports which have been so industriously circulated ,of Divi sions ? '[here can certainly be none but iuraliie, and that is the Creature of Fancy. A circumstance rather singular occurred on Monday in the House of Commons. An Irish Member moved for a new Writ for an Irish 80.. rough, the present Members for which did not choose to be at the expellee of travelling to Eng. land to take their seats. Sir MARct/s SONItRVILLB was the only Irish Member who voted with the Opposition on Mon.. day evening. Sir LAtiarNcr: PARsONS voted with Ministers. It is with regret we state, that' Bread was raised yesterday a whole Assize.

A Court of Common Council will be held to:. morrow, precisely at twelve, o'clock, for the Elation of the Irish Society, and appointment of Committees for the present year.
