Lordships, in a Committee of the whole tiotise, agreed to this Bill, which was reported without any amendment. The Duke of NORFOLK observed, be was aware the object of tbe Bill was to continue the suspen sion for about.a month longer; but, before the House should finally agree to it, be thought that some information ought to be given whether any tarther Bill was intended upon the subject. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said, he was 'not-aware that he could, with propriety, or in a regular way, give information that such a bill was intended. But, he apprehended, that under cep- . tain 'circumstances, it may be knoWn to the Noble puke, that such a bill as that Which Was alluded to, was on its progress. His Grace the LORD PRIMATE then gaVe notice that he should move the third reading of the Bill on Monday. PANTHEON THEATRE. The Duke of NORFOLK called their Lordships' attuntion•to the Petition he had yesterday pre sented to the House, from Mr. Cundy, for leave to present a regular Petition for the introduction of a bill on his behalf. The delay, in a great des gree, proceded from circumstances, and from the unusually (Ong adjournment of Parliament at such a season of the year. There were other instances of the kind, and he should move, that the Petition for leave, which► he now presented, may be read. This was accordingly done (at length) by the Clerk. It purported to be from Nicholas Wilcox _ Cundy, Proprietor of the Pantheon Theatre, of the parish of St. James's, Westminster, and gave a- history of tlie circumstances of the Pantheon from its establishment as a public Theatre, in 1798, under the Royal Authority, 'and that of his Majesty's Lord Chamberlain—the appropriation of bsmes for the Royal Family, and for that high Officer—its destruction by fire—the subsequent establishment, and the occurrences respecting the Theatre, until the time of the licence being granted to Henry Francis Greville; Esq. in 1812, and since that period, the references made to the Lot d Chamberlain, &c. (all which circumstances have been before our readers in a variety of shapes), and concluding by praying for leave. to have a Bill brought in to constitute the Pantheon aTie gular Theatre. The Noble Duke then begged leave to present the Bill as prayed fora .This, he said, he should at present only . move, to .have read a first time, and printed for the use of their Lordships ; and some day after. the Raster Recess, he should pro pose the second reading, when the subject could be discussed. His Grke aceor . dingly, presented the Bill, and • moved its first reacting. The LORD CHANC&LLOR said a few words on the occasion, rather in an under tone - of voice. Afier seeming to advert to the customary controut •aad. authority Of the Lord Chamberiain in such matters, he observed, he should not, under the circumstances, abject to the first reading of the Bill, but, at the sante time, he ‘vished it. may be understood, that he did not pledge himself not to oppose the nteasure in a subsequent. stage. Lord 11(41.1..-tsn suggested t h e , propri e ty o f i ts being understood upon what Particular clay after. the Recess the proposed secoud.reackink should take place. The Duke of NORFOLK icquiOded,,ia,the pro priety of this . suggestion ; and said,. afterthe 41ecess some days? notice should be given. The title of the bill was then read as above ; and it was ordered to be printed. The Writs of Assistance Bill was read 4 third tine, and passed.—Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

France has not gained . an accession of territory. By the Peace of Westphalia (1648), which was renewed in all subsequent Treaties to: the year 1790, she acquired the sovereignty over the three Bishopricks of Metz; 'foul, and Verdun, and like wise over Alsace. By the Peace of the Pyrennees (1659), France retained the County of -Roussillou, arid several towns in Flanders, Hainault, and Luxemberg„ By the Peace of Aix (1668), she gained the towns of Charleroi,• Binch, Atli, Douay, Tournay, Oudenarde, Lisle, Armentieres, Courtray, Ber gen, and Veurne. in Flanders and Hainault. By the Peade of Nimeguen (1678 and 1679), she acquired Frauche Comte (the County of Bur gundy), Valenciennes, Bouchain, Conde, Cam , bray, Aire, St. Omer,.. Ypres, Werwick, War meton, Poperingen, Bailleul, Mont Cassel, Bavai, Matibetige (in Flanders and Hainault), and the City of Freiburg (hi the Breisgau). immediately atter the Peace of Nimegueii (1680), France procured Strasburg; Courtray, and Luxemburg, to be allotted to her by the Chum bres 4e Reunion ; but Strasburg and Kehl were re stored by the Treaty of liatis bon' (1684). By the Peace of Ryswici , :, France acquired Strasburg, but ceded Fort Kehl, Freiburg, Bref sach, and Philipsburg, together with what hall been adjudged to her by the 'Cliatebres- de . Reunion. Saar, Louis, and Longwy, were all that she retained of Lorraine. By the Peace of Utrecht (1713), which terini nated the War of the Spanish succession, Franca lost Meuin, Tournay, Veurne, Fort Knoeqe'and Ypres ; but, on the other baud, seated the House of Bourbon on the throne of Spain, and:hY the Treaty of Baaden (hi Switzerland, 1713); acquir ed the fortresi of Landah • By the Peace of Vienna (1733), she secured the reversion to Lorraine and Bar. By the Peace ofAix-la-Chapelle (1738),Fraece obtained' no accession of 'territory for herself. but obtained for Don Philip, son-in-law of Louis XV, the Duchies of P a rm a , Pi acenza , an d G uast alla, though she was obliged to demolish the fortitica tions of Dunkirk. Bythe Peace of Paris (1762), France ceded Ca nada, the Island of Cape Breton, Granada, St. Vincent, Dominica, and Tobago, to England ; and Louisiana to Spain. By the - Peace of Versailles (1783), Franee ob tained the right of fortifying Dunkirk; and from England, the Islands of _Miquelon and St. Pierre, St. Lucia, Tobago, Pondichery, and the'lsland of Goree in Africa. VIENNA.—An unknown person has presented to his Majesty a service of silver ?late; consisting of 128 pieces, as a patriotic contribution towards the expences of the State. Duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen, has given, on account of his Silesian possessions, 8000 ells of linen for the use of the artily of the hospitals. The pupils in the Military Academy of Wiene risch Neustadt long since expressed the most lively imy~tienco to. share immediately hi the achievements of their brave countrymen. They re luctantly submitted to the representation that they ought to wait till they had acquired their full 'strength. A whole ,class of the .oldest of these youths lately agreed to leave the Academy the first opportunity, and to' make the best of their way to the Army of Italy. In the night they contrived to elude the vigilance of their superiors, stealing off through the Park, in the rear of the Academy; they crossed the Ley thy, and proceeded to Hungary. Their departure was discovered early in, the morning ; the troop of ‘vould-be warriors was pursued, overtaken, and,. to their _no small mortification, brought back to tee Acedeiny, there to await the accomplishment tli their wishes in the regular way.. • The Berlin Gazelle, of the 8:11 Feb. 1614, con tains the following remarkable paragrynli . reo specting the Negociations a't'CheitilPn : " We are assured that Lord Castlereagh has no instructions to negociate a Peace, and this is the 'more probable,'. since England has never yet. acknowledged Napoleon in tue ipielity of Em peror, as appears from all the puUlic documents and state papers. England has; ui , ,reoyc'r; openly and loudly declared, before all Europe, \that she. will never make. peace with France, so long as Napoleon shall be at the head of the Go - rern- Incur. • We think it right • to:submit to our rea ders a fact, not_gentraiiy knixn, which is con nected with this subject 1806, Napoleon was earnestly desirous of peace keit!, ; but the'latter was so shy of Meeting his ovekures,that the Emperor detertuisied to eequire into the cause. He appointed the Duke of Otraute (Fouci.6), then 'Minister , of Police, to conduct this in esti gation. Fouche undertook the • task, but upon 'the express condition that the Empeeor should not inquire the names of the persons w:lol,mlie should employ in the business. 'The Ethperor promised compliance, and the Minister set ali his engines in motion. After some' time, he appeared before the Emperor, and presented to him a cir cumstantial statement of the reasons which de .. _ tided the English Cabinet not to enter into any negociations. At this catalogue of crimes the Emperor was in -the highest-degree in censed, and, in his rage, became totally unmind ful of his' promise to make no_ inquiries after the persons•who had becu employed in this affair. He attempted to force the Minister, by threats, to be !tray them ; but Fouchtl was immoveable. leis dismiSsion front office was the consequence." TRENT, FEB. 2.—The fall of Venice May be. considered as near at band. On the 19th ult. there was an insurrection in that city against the French garrison, which, however, as the French and Austrians were yet too tar distant,. succeeded in quelling it. Forty-eight 'persons, mostly fisher men and mariners, who stormed the forto with the nundst intrepidity, have been shOt . , and a 14r greater nuailler thrown iirnhaius.

BRUSSELS ,MA'R 24.--]important move ments have already taken place on our frontiers. After the arrival of General Thielmann with the, troops under his command, .the Duke of Saxe Weimar, who commands the Allies .in Belginsri2; has laid down the plan of operations. The Prus sian and Saion troops,. from 15 to 20,000 strong, which were before at Tournay, have marched in all haste to repair to the neighbon.rhood of Mau beauge; this place, which is soon to be rigorously . attacked, having been already surrounded by de tachments froldthe garrison of Mous, The Duke of SaxeWeimarhas fixed his bead-quarters at Mons, that be may be able to attend to the siege. 1 ournay is alreadyoccupied by Prussian and Saxon Jandwehl' and volunteers. In order to disturb the enemy's line below Maubeauge, considerable dkachrnents have appeared before Grit and Philippeville. Mau, beuge lies on the Sainbre. Its chief strength con sists in the entrenched camp which lies near it and commands it ; but as this camp is not pro perly furnished ‘vit!l provisions, - nor sufficiently armed, and is besides not 'occupied by any eon sidera.ble body of troops, it is presumed that the place cannot bold out long. Troops are continually passing through this city to reinfore, the army on the frontiers. Seve ral Swedish Officers belonging to the Staff, and .also some detatchments of cavalry of the same na tion,.arrived here yesterday and the day before. It is reported that the Crown Prince of Sweden will be here himself in ,a few days. The appointment of Gen. Murray to be Com mander in Chief of the Belgian army, has had the happieit consequence, Count Craukenbery is on the point of obtaining permission to raise a regi ment of Light Horse. It is pretended that these troops arc to be taken into English pay. Count Lotteum is succeeded, as Military Go vernor, by Baron Von Horst. The deputation which went to the Grand head quarters returned yesterday eveaing to this city. lit.txr, MARCH 7.—We hear that the Prussian troops under Major Von Rieche are to besiege Venloe. Though these troops are not numerous enough to lay siege to the place in fr'en, they will be, hoWever, sufficient to hinder the repeat ed sallies of the garrison, _which lately in a sally towards Horst took a company of the Landwehr prisoners. We do not yet know the strength of the corps destined to blockade Wesel. COLOGNE, MARCH Ifi. ; ---Ever since the 13th fl heavy cannonade has been kept up against the fortress of Jufiers. , BREMEN, MARCH 23.—A few days ago the French made a sally from Haarbure, in which they burnt to the ground the beautiful village of Huttfield, 5 miles from Haarhurg.
