maritime power.. He wished to see her possess- 1 ed of interests which, in the case of an unfor tunate rupture, we might have the means of attacking.. A Right Hon. Friend of his used to say, that in this contest we had gained all which we had not 'lost, but in concluding this Treaty we had aged with •the greatest honour and good faith to our Allies ; we had preserved all our ancient dominions, and had made important acquisitions both in the East and in the West. Independant of all this, an arrangement had been made with the Powers of the North, by which our rights had been fully recognized and secured ; and finally, that great and most beneficial measure, the Union with Ireland, had been carried into effed.—LWe bad closed the contest with consolidated power and with augment ed means, which he was convinced would make the power of this Country equal to that of France. He was ready, however, to acknowledge, that it depended upon the wisdom of Government and of that House, whether this Peace should be a curse or a blessing. On the part of the King's present Ministers, he could only say, that the Peace which had been made honestly, should be kept faithfully. No encouragement should be given to any person, what ever their eharaaer might be, to subvert . the pre sent Government of France. It would require the utmost caution to accomplish all the objets which they had in view, they must adopt a conduct of caution, of prudence, and of jealousy. And he was bound in candour and fairness to state, that it would be necessary to .provide new means of se curity, such as were never before known in time of Peace. If he were asked whether this was founded upon . a suspicion of the sincerity of the Enemy, he would answer, No ; but he could not look upon the Map of Europe, ,without being con vinced that such was the cc:y.lnd Which their duty prescribed to them. the system to be adopted must be one plainly clireffed to the security of the Country ; not calculated to promote patronage or to excite jealousies. He flattered himself that when" the subject came to be investigated, it would not he found difficult to adopt a system of defence which would be found fully adequate to the security of the Country. He could not help expressing, upon this occasion, his sense of the danger to which this . Coun.: try would be exposed if proper measures were not adapted for its security. There were many other points necessary to be provided for, hut which it was unnecessary to enter into at present ; nor would he now have troubled the House with his senti ments, but for the imputation which had been thrown out against him for keeping an improper silence. The Motion was agreed to without a division. THE SUN. 10LEM QUIS DICIAL I'ALSUAIt AUDLAT ? LONDON, NOYE.ItIBER 6, 18 or. WE this morning received Paris Papers to the /4 inst. In their contents, as usual, we find little that deserves notice. The_ most prominent article, and which occupies nearly the whole of one Moni teur, is the new Batavian Constitution. To Eng lish Readers, this cannot be very interesting. The following are seleaed as the chief Articles in which Foreigners can feel any interest. Art. 20. The Batavian Republic.is One and Indivisible. 21. Its European Territory remains divided into Eight De _ partruents, the limits of which shall be the same as those of the ancient Provinces, with the exception of certain mo difications. zz. The Country of Drenthe shall remain united to the ci-devant Province of Overyssel ; and Batavian Brabant shall form the eighth Department. Ameland shall tbrm part of Friezland ; ide and West Woldiagerland of Groninguen ; Ysselstein of Holland ; Viane of U trecht, and Kuilenbourg and Buren of G udders. The Law shall decide further to what Department the Countries already annexed to the Territory of the Republic, shall belong. 29. The Government is to be entrusted to the Regency of • State, composed of Twelve Members, who shall be chosen from active Citizens, of the age of 35 compleat, born in the Republic, and resident there for the 6 last years, and who have no relation So near as the 4th degree a-head in the Re genay.—Their pay is to be 10,000 florins. 56. The debts and obligations contraded not only by the Generality in its name, but also in the name' f the particular Provinces, of the three quarters of Guelders, of the Country of Drenthe, of Batavian Brabant, and of the East-India Com pany, are declared national debts and obligations.—The con trait, whether rents, obligations, receipts, or any other obli gatory acts, are to be exchanged ,as soon as possible tOr na tional obligations,. with Out any dedudion, either of Capital or of Interest. A Paris article says, " Three hundred English Passports have arrived, to be distributed to Mer cli2ntmen who are about to repair to remote Coun. tries, where the news of the Peace has not yet - - reached. A similar number of French Passports "has beet; sent to London, for British Ships." Two Heiniburgh Mails still remain -due. The KING yesterday morning, accompanied by their Royal Ilighnes3es the DUKE Of KENT, PRINCE MO LP HUS, and I?iw•rct.ss SOPHIA, Col. NINGHANI, and the Equerries in waiting, rode out on horseback in Richinond Gardens. The ROYAL TA 4 MILY left Kew this afternoon -for Windsor. , , Lord GWYDIR and Lady WILLOUGHBY break -fasted••yesterday with .Her Royal Highness, the 'PRINCESS of WALES' at her residence at Black- heath: NAVAL NEWS-. DOPER, Nov. g. A French Passage vessel arrived from Calais this afternoon, bringing several Passengers, Dispatches, &c. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 4. DURING the dreadful hurricane on Monday last, the Mars, of 74. guns, Rear-Admiral THO RN- B ROUGH, in the evening of that day parted one of her cables, and, from the violence of the wind, the other anchor dragged, in consequence of which the cable was obliged to be cut, and she drove out to sea, with her yards and topmasts struck, but were observed to be got up,soon after clearing Cawsand Bay.—She was seen last evening off Looe Island, laying too. The gale is not yet abated, but blows strong at North and North East. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 5. SAILED the -Amphion Frigate for Chatham ; Au gustus Cvsar, KIRBY, for the West Indies; Elea nor, Hope, and Two Friends, Cartels, 'foe Cher burgh ; and Hope, WILsoN, for Spain, with Pri soners. The Maidstone Frigate has a Signal flying for-the West Indies. SHEERNESS, Nov. S. ARRIVED the Ardent, Glatton, Alonzo, and Di ligence, and Escort Gun.brig ; the latter ha 3 come into Harbour. It blew a tremendous gale at S.E. last night, during which an East Country ship, unloading spars for the Dock-yard, broke from the hulk, and drove athwart the Iris, of 3z guns, laying alongside the Receiving-ship, and carried away her bowsprit, which weakening the masts very much, in a squall they all went by the board, which has made her a complete wreck in the rigging. Happily no lives were lost : one man was much hurt. The Constant Gun-brig is still on shore, but it is to be hoped she will be got off on the next flood, if the wind abates. It was the Ship Port-au-Prince, of Liverpool, which was ariven in here dismasted; she has come into Harbour to get repaired. This day being the Commemoration Day of the Powder. Plot, a Salute of is guns was fired from each of the Ships at the Nore, and at from the Batteries in the Garrison at noon. YARMOUTH, Nov. 5. ON Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock, -the lane, of Sunderland, THo. WAKE master, was run on board of at sea, by which Means she received so much damage that the 'Master and Crew, except two men, took to the boat, and were soon after.. wards picked up. by a small vessel. The other two men, it is supposed, got on board the vessel that , did them damage. On Tuesday morning last a vessel appeared to be entangled amongst the sands opposite this town, and before any boats could get to her assistance she sunk. No account can at present be obtained of her." The Margaret, of Yarmouth, PETER IVIILLER master, laden with corn, on Wednesday morning early drove from her anchors, and came into the beach, where she now lies bilged; part of her cargo may be saved. • The Committee of the Holders of Exchequer Bills attend the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on the subject of the proposed measure of funding them, this day at eleven o'clock. On Wednesday last, at the Spanish Chapel, Te Deum was sung with great solemnity and impressive effect, in thanksgiving to God for the Peace, &c. The Music was composed and executed with much taste. The BISHOP of Mt NORCA officiated at the al tar ; and after the office, the Clergy and Choir were entertained at d;nner at the Portland Coffee house, where many loyal toasts were given, such as the King of Great Britain, 'and of Spain, and may perpetual Peace subsist between the two Nations. Accounts from Calais announce the arrival there of the whole Band of the zoth Regiment of Chas seurs. It is one of the finest Bands of Music in the French Army. his to receive Lord CORNWALL is upon his landing, and to accompany him to Paris. A Courier is to give notice of his Lordship's arrival within a certain distance of Paris ;, different Mili tary and Civil Afithorities are then to set out and re ceive him, and his Lordship will be ushered into the Capital with all possible pomp. A singular and melancholy catastrophe took place on Thursday : se'nnighr, at a Head-quarters of the Military, some distance from town :—An Officer, after giving a splendid entertainment to his`brother .I. , fficers, retired to Lis apartments; and ,shot him self through the head : his death was not disco veriAtill the following morning. The cause is not known.—The deceased was. much respeded. A good rump of beef was sold' at 3d. per lb. and inferior pieces at 2-Id. per lb. at Highworth market last Wednesday .—Reading Mercury.

ISO!. " Having taken upon ourselves, by our accession to the Throne of our Ancestors, all the bligations belonging to our important situation; arid having - recognized in our beast, that from this solemn moment the happiness of the People which is entrusted to us ,should be the only object of our cares and wishes, we hive directed all our attention to that object ; and for its basis, we have determined from the be ginning of our reign, to confirm all the Orders in their rights and privileges. We have therefore re-established for ever the patent of the Nobility, the force of which had been 'weakened in several points by circumstances;--we have con firmed the Municipal Organization ; and we hive restored to the Citizens their Privileges entire ; we have laid open to Commerce and Trade, all the sources of riches, and have given a free channel to their progress; we have granted to the Peasants the right of cutting timber in the forests for their necessities, by the prohibition of which they were so severely oppressed. Having repressed all the horrors of the Secret Tribunal, we have taken out of its dungeons all its viCtims : in annihilating the eternal prosecutions of suits against those employed under Government, and persons of every description, who have 'been guilty a crimes through mistake, accident, or by viciousexamples, we, have mitigated their fate, without invalidating the energy of the law, in the firm persuasion that this manifestation of our clemency will tend to reform, and restore to the paths of truth, those who had deviated from them ; in lowering the recovery of debts to a specific sum, and in alleviating as much as possible pu nishments of all kinds, we have entirely freed the Clergy from them. " In thus fulfilling our duties before God, we do not think that we have by these Measures already reached the great end for which we are destined. " The welfare of Empires is consolidated time, and at tains perfedion . by continual efforts for the common good. In all these regulations, our sole desire is to show the extent of out solicitude for the happiness of the people, and how grateful it is to our feelings, to convince the real Children of the Country of our atttachment to them, and our attention to their interests. The Almighty haS blessed out desires and endeavours. In every good anion we have felt the aid of his all-powerful arm, to signalize his Providence in all workings upon us, and to strengthen the secret ties which bend us to the people whom the Almighty has confided to our care. This day, under the influence of his grace, we have com pleted the sacred action of the Union and Coronation. In returning thanks to his All-powerful Providence, we cannot offer up on his Altar More grateful incense than by following the inclination of our heart, to preserve the engagements which we have solemnly made in His presence, to render this day sacred, and to impress it upon the hearts of the People by new favours." EGYPT. THE following very extraordinary Anecdote is related in Mr. MORI Elt'S History of the Campaign of the Ottoman Army, in the year x Soo. If it were nor mentioned from such high authority, we could scarcely ,give credit to the fart.—Mr. Mo. RIER was Private Secretary to Lord ELGIN, and English Commissioner with the Ottoman Army in Egypt : " The French have very carefully concealed every detail on their Campaign in Syria ; indeed, it is not surprizing that they should have been silent on an Expedition that added so much lustre to the British Arms, while its consequences proved no less fatal to their Army than inglorious to their General. But there is one circutnstance conflated with that period of the Campaign which has just been alluded to, that could not be concealed .; atid it must be recorded, because it tends to disclose a feature in the mast conspicuous Charafter of the pre. sent age—BONAPARTE. • " After reducing El-Arish, the French advanced into Syria ; took Gaza without resistance, and then proceeded to Jaffa. The garrison was summoned, but refusing to surrender, the town was carried by storm, and given over to pillage ,and murder for twelve hours; yet the cruelties committed on this occasion were surpassed by what soon followed : four thousand five hUndred of the garrison were -nade prisoners of war ; in this number were iticlxid ed one thousand of those who had capitulated, at EL Arish. They, were reminded of having broken their engagerments by being again taken in.armis the other three thousand five hundred were im plicated with the guilty. They were all marched to some sand-hills near Jaffa, where they were. drawn up in a line ; an equal line of French soldiers, with their bayonets fixed, were drawn up be. fore them ; the order was given to 'charge, and in an instant four thousand five hundred men were murdered. To this day their skeleton's, and the sands steeped with gore, attest the barbarous aft. " It is a fad as well established in Syria,. that when the siege of Acre was raised, and the French Army began its march for Egypt, all their wounded and sick were poisoned by order of their General." DRURY LANE.—The Opera of Artaxerxes, or rather Mrs. BlLLlNolorrirew an audience to this Theatre last night, which completely filled it.— There was no symptom of her recent indisposition in her performance, which ova= in the highest, style of musical excellence, and whie:i, of course, induced the audience, as usual; to encore what was pre_emi_ nently beautiful. In " Let not rage," and " The Soldier tied," she fully deserved - all the applause with which the audience endeavoured to testify their admiration of her extraordinary merit. COVENT GARDEN.—The new Comedy of Poky as it Flies was attended last night by a more nu merous audience than on its first representation, and the Piece evidently increases in popularity. If the Author has very successfully adapted the charadep to the Performers, it must be acknowledged that the Performers render those charalers as conspicu ous and effedive as the Author, or the Public, can desire. In consequence of the indisposition of Mint- RAY, the c o harader of Sir .. Herbert' Melmoth was performed by CORY, in such a manner as to shew that he will be a very useful addition to this Thea tre. Miss MURRAY acquits herself so ably in this Comedy, that she has fully established her reputa.: tion, and confirmed herself in the favour of the Public. KEMBLE has received several invitations from Provincial Managers, since it•was knolVn that he was likely to quit Drury-Lane Theatre.—We hope, - howeVer, that so valuable a Performer will remain in Loudon, as it will be for the interest of all par ties to keep him in a situation best fitted for the due exhibition of his talents. Mr. MONIPSON, who was a few years' ago Pupil of OPIE, and who hat since highly improved his talents in Italy, has just been eleded an'Asso ciate of the Royal Atadony. OLD RAMEY.
