I'IPORTANT Intelligence was Yesterday re ceived in Town from America. The opposition of the Senate to ,the Treaty concluded between the - United States and the French Republic, has not been confined to .the two Articles, which, as we have already seen, have received the disappro bation of that Political. Botly. A great number of Members wished to add to it, two Articles, by the first of Which it was stipulated that the United States should not be bound to any thing contrary to any other existing Treaty betwepn them and any other Power,; and, by the second, that the Treaty in discussion shOubi not, as the Article agreed upon at Paris stipulates, be unlimited in its duration, but should continue for two year after a general Peace. The first Of these Articles was that which was most essential to our interest's in this affair, and the adoption of it would ltare been sufiicient to defeat the political cunning which had manifested itself in the conclusion of the Treaty of Paris. The termination of the•Dcbate was, however, still more favourable to this Coun t ry. The Treaty was approved by a majority of t 6 against 14. ; but this has been . its-death-blow, as the Constitution requires to its ratification a majority of two thirds of theyoterS, and as this was not the, ease in the present instance, the Treaty is rendered n6ll and void. This omit must be 'considered as matter for general congratulation, and particularly so in the circumstances in which we now grand. As Mr_ PITT prediacd, whatever may happen, one Na tion will remain firm in her Neutrality, whose principal means of existence is her. Commerce, who will be the active Agent of that of England, arid will circulate the produce of our industry among those•very People, who, though they re , jeCt it,' cannot do without it.

THE English Ambassador bete, Lord MitTo, has received Official Intelligence that General ABERCROMBY, with the .English• Fleet, with 124 Transports under its convoy, had arrived un expeetedly on the Coast of Egypt, in the beginning of January. The landing of the Troops took place, without opposition," in the vicinity of The English • Ambassador :at Cons/iv/final/6 Lord ELGIN, has dispatched a • COurier to London, with a complete account of the successful Landing of the TrooPs under General ABE- aCROMBY in Egypt. They have been joined by the . Turks, who . arc preparing to at with vigour,. and , im. portant advices may stion.be cxpetted frOm that Country. Heavy Artillery continues to he sent to. Pres. burg, and - thence to the Frontiers of Turkey, from which circumstance, sonic Politicians con clude, that a new War may soo:, be expetted to comnience, though others merely consider these measures as adopted from precaution against -the Rebels in Turkey. CONSTANTINUPLE„TAN. xo. Sjria and Egypt are now again become the Theatre of War. The first Division of the English Fleet and Land Forces is now arrived on the Coast of Syria. Admiral ICE IT2i has notified to the Captain Pacha, that he had 'landed in the Bay of Manoury with: Fifty transports, on board of which was General AOEILCROMBY. The other half of the Expedition was immediately expected. The' English Ambassador here, Lard EL GI N, has received the same intelligence. A Paper has been published in some of the Morning Papers, stated to be 'a communication made. made. by the Marquis Coisiwavos ro the Ro man Catholics, of Ireland -C IF is said not to have had the stamp of authority„ . but 4 sup. posed to have proceeded from the Cdstle.- ! ,We very much approve of a great deal of what .is suggested in that Paper—The object of. ptiblish, ing it, seems 40 have been ,to conciliate, at a critical moment, the whole body of the Catholics, who might naturally feel strongly upon recent occurrences, and to endeavour to.prevent their having' recourse . to Violent measures upon the pre sent emergeney.—So far we applaud the motive of this publication—Whether it states accurately. the opinion's of. His Majesty's Ministers, we. will not take upon ourselves to say-- 7 it certainty slims Their anxiety to prevent the Cathoiic, from taking any rash step, or 'throwing them selves into the,hands of those who, perhaps for other:purposes, would, attempt to carry the que stion of , concession by force. We know that Ministers very much dreaded .any commotion in Ireland, in consequence of their not being able to propose the measures which 'tlify intended ; and it is extremely . probable, that among other means taken to quiet the minds of the Catholics, the general sentiments of Ministers upon the sub jeLft were thus circulated. A part of this Paper is represented as contain ing the sentiments of Lord CORNWALLIS in which he seems broadly to declare " that Mini sters are pledged not to embark in the se6ice of Government except on the terms or the Catholic privilege being obtained." We cannot but doubt whether this is really. Lord CogN WALLIS'S opiniOn, at least. stated in the un qualified manner in which it. is put.. That the ,late Ministers will not hold any offices under. Government without giving the retraining Pri vileges to : the Catholics, at a ' rime when they think the concession can be easily made without struggle, Of without difficulty, we can readily understand—=but ihey'eannot have pledged. them selves to attempt, under anyt circumstances, at . all ev - ints, and at. all hazards, to adopt this measure---nor can they have 'avowed that there is 'no" situation of the. Country in which alley should feel themselves bound to offer their best services to their Sovereign, inclepend6t of th;, measure. We objeft therefore, r i ot to the senti ment fairly explained, but to the absolute and iffiqualified manner in' which it_ is stated 'in the P:i per referred to. . . _ . In that part .of the Paper which is supposed to contain Mr. PITT'S sentiments, it is• declared that all who retire from ,ofike, and many who remain, will, at a fit time, .gyve the measure all their support. We have already stated what must evidently be the intention of those whb re tire from office, and what must be the nature of the pledge they are supposed to have made. As to those who remain, we can easily conceive that there are persons 'still holding office, who may think that, under the present difficulties, and Considering also the critical state of the Country in all respects, this is not the time to press the measure—but the same persons may ,also fully intend to propose it whenever they think it 'can be proposed free from the difficulties with, which its adoption would be at present ,entangled ; .and in this determination we see no inconsistency, as has.been represented, but., a condut which has for its• motive the welfare and safety of the Country. • We. doubt .whether the publication of the Paper - to Which we hai'e alluded Was authorised here.—We doubt also whether it contains the ac cufate opinion of thetrctiring Ministers ; but we 7►ave,observed upon it, because w ; e conceive that, in several points at least, 'it cannot mul.'h present their ieal sentiment;. !t ;~ 3 NA VA L ,1 1 _: - 1) 4..
