'DIP, Gaza!, of Saturday contains His Majesty's P1T , C1,1111,0 ion fur proroguing Parliament to the 27th Niweinher, when it will meet for the dispatch . 01 public business. We know not on what authority a Morning Pa. per of Saturday states it to be Hts MAjEsTy's in. tension to laave Weymouth in afew clays, but we again repeat, On, the heft, that this information is tot correei.; It erhaps rnay not be unrelsonable to cusped, that this piece of news was fabric-lied merely for the purpose of introducing the mrterions to the supposed retreat of fits .MAJ rvry's Return. The Writer probably means that we should irna. gine something terrible in his " ohsr cause," and being unable to state any just ground for apprehen. siun, has recourse to the old trick of italics, as a hint to those who are, fond of col juring up Phan toms of Horror. Tits political relation of this Country and Spain has naturally been a matter of much speculation. We do nut pretend to be acquainted with the inten. tions of His Majesty's Ministers respeCting that Power, but the manner in which the idea of an ap proaching War has been treated by some of our Co,. tempotaries, induces us to remind our Readers of the real situation in which the two Cotltriet, at present stand. flrx C.%71101-1C MAjESTY, by furnishing to our Roemy, as has been done by a Public Treaty, Ike war, has undoubtedly cOrnmitted an piF.nee ag,tinst the Laws of Netyrtlity, perfetqly slifficietit to justify a I)eclarat inn of Wit on our part. ,As an injury in our National 110nour, .nothing but the (trinity of pity, or our e•msideting the Spanish, Government as riot toaster of its own anions, could juicily our originally passing over its condua - with. 'our public and exemplary nut ice, lint this obser. vati,to applies only to the question, if we suppose that the late Ministers: were not tacitly consenting to the pr,ceetin.gs of Ckruot.ic MA I P.,7 Y., A NAliimal c ry inay'he ,increased or dtmini.,ll. ed; it has a telative i,upoi.tance, and may be-Made ground of War, or not, as other circumitaliees di , - red ; but Nal ifirNh (nos; be ,romp') atoned for r or promplfavOriged: We know this principlt has wit ,always been .ioett upon, and we saspea that the temporizing conduei of his precirerwr may haye led the presebt Minister . into a eitnletilty wit 4 l ;peg 1 0 tk p of tlonour.. ut it is not in ipeCti. lationm like these. that we with to indulge merely to place upon site prerr tihnolders the Feyonsit:4llitr ;hat may att;cli to our Fondue} in it, spect ro bpain, ant to Place the question OS far as coin he done) in its true light. Whether it be to be argued as a question of,seeerrkv / (and such we beg leave to call the vindication ~ f our Honour), or only as a question of isofive the fans before the Poblic-do.not enable us to determine.-- But in considering the latter we should not forget, as the Editor of the Afarning Chr"arliele' seems' to have dOne, that, Spain has a Navy. Every argu. men; founded on our supposed inability to carry on offensive opera ti:lns on Land, makes it more neces. sary for us to prese e our preponderancy at Sea ; in, this tespea we should make assurance double sure. We throw out these hints to counteract the attempts that have been made to prejudge a question of great national importance, upon which our Readers have not, and cannot have, the materials to forma decisive opinion. Yesterday we , received Mach journals to the 17th instant, and some Paris Papers of the izth. The only itnportant intelligence which they 'con. tain relates to the result of the Proceedings of the Diet of Ratisbon, respeling the Violation of the German territories, by the seizure and subsequent murder of the Duke D'ENoutsx, and the aisurnr. Lion of, a . new Hereditary Title by the House of Austiia. Ai might be expelled, the Diet have passed over the former atrociou's,4, by declaring • that there is nothing to deliberate upon.' It was• scarcely within the verge of probbility, under the present circumstances of gurope, th:tt the Germanic, Diet would venture to arraign the conduct of the Corsican Emperor of France. The assumption of an Hereditary Imperial Title by Austria, is, `stated, likely to receive the approbation of all the Princes of the Empire. The eleEtion an Peer of Scotland, in the room of the late Marquis of Twt ItaALE ) is fixed for the t4th of Novcrnher, Mr. WicautAra, late Secretary in Ireland, has retired from public business, and resides near Read. ing, 'in a bad state of health.

Tuesday the it th inst. the Earl and Countess of Po w Is passed through Chlrhory, on whielt occasion the Inhabitants of that place and neighbourhood i pur. chased a large ox, which' was boasted, and with plenty of wholesome beverage distributed among the labouring poor. - - A Gentleman, who on Friday arrived in town from the Continent, relates, that an alliance has been aaually conclud6d between'Austria, Prussia, and France, which comprises, among other extra. ordinary matters, the concurrence of the. former Power to the proposed election of FREUERIC4,WIL. LIAM to be King of the Romans, and to the House Brandenburgh being the future head of the Ger. manic Body. For this concession (to whit!), it is stated,. the `Emperor FRANCIS was in' some degree incited by the increased influence'of. Prussia among the. Eletiors, with a conviction of itsforther increase through the ascendancy: of France) His Itoll'EtiAt. MArasyr, in addition to the ,hereditary title of Emperor of Austria, is to receive a large acceAion of territory, which Turkey is .to be compekted %to alienate.. ...A'he confines of Itante and Prussia are also to be considerably augmented ; but the parti. eularp are not mentioned, • nor perhaps. as yet thoroughly . defined.
