THE extreme improbability that any Paper, in the present situation of affairs on the Continent, and particularly the Hamburg]) journal, the Carrel, meteute,w, the best informed of all the German Papers with resped to intelligence, and that in most circulation, should have ventured,, we will not hay to forge, but even to 'print, without having ascertained its authenticity, such an article, as that ;which we copied' from the Petershargb Court Gaz,ette, decided our opinion on this sub jra, and wc 3,1 w yesterday that the same motives produced the same circa on the greater part of our cotemporarieg. We have since found -new and decisive reasons for persisting in our opinion.' We can assert positively, that the last Mail has brought here an original copy of the Petersburgb' Court Gazette, in which this article is inserted; and we are not less certain that the Ministers who now govern *Russia have taken dire l d measures for publishing this article in the German Papers. No doubt remains as to the truth of the lad, nor is there any as to its having been the re sult of the unhappy state of the Emperor PAUL'S intelleds. Of, this he has lately given another very convincing proof, by sending back to this. Coun. try, unopened, and pierced with eight or ten stabs of a dagger, Conciliatory Dispatches which had been transmitted to 114 from hence, The mad ness of this Prince is not the only conclusion which the persons who have the means or most corred information, and who are most interested in the solution df the present state of affitirs, draw from the article in question. The care which the Russian Ministers have taken ,to pro. mulgute the article, and the countenance which Russian Agents - - Geimany have given to have naturally given ris* to the idea, that the Members of the Russian Government have in.. tended by this al to prove 03temibly to all the World, the derangement in the mind of their So.. vereign, and to justify the measures which they had prepared lbt transiztring the Power to other hantig. Every thin g co ns id ere d, t hi s opinion ap. pears to,bc , the most reasonable that can b e form_ (A, and there seems room expect early in. olligcnce of a change having taken place in Reuia in ate exercise of the Sovereign Power.— The mind of the Public in that Country has long been ripe for 'such an event. The , Flusband of CATHE NE it is sell known, lost the •ry II on Sl;ghtCr grouruts. A total change in = o', Cabimc of Pete' rsbnr.4 would Ily follow, ;.1i inc' y gover'amnt would he dmirous of conciliating Popularity, would not be guilty of the fc, , lly of entering i( War in Wbich their Country would have ,Acing to gain, and which its Inhabitants disap. ' , love. 'The Confederacy frit the Armed Neutrali , ty would vanish in an in,tant i as it is universally known that the Court' of Denmark and Scved have entered into it with regret, and bccau , e they were apprehensive, if they Aid not do ho, of the ven. geance of the Eur Ett o Piton. Thew two Powm, and particularly tha latter, entirely at the inflict upon them a more immediate and a more . di. , :astrous blow than we could, and of two evils they choso tie least, We believe that we are warranted in asserting, that, according to the Ad vices recei ved from Stockholm and Copenhagen, by the last Mail, the two Governments, and par ticularly that of Denmark, began to be seriously afk6led with a different impression, and to place before all other considerations the fear of the just punishment which awaited them from us. A short period may be sufficient to Confirm these senti ments, and we may believe that the Courier who carries to them the intelligence'of a Revolution having taken place in itnssia, will he joyfully re ceived. Should this event not yet have taken place, the perusal of the Article which proves the insanity of the EMPEROR Pout., will na turally prevent the Danish and Swedish Govern ments from engaging in a disastrous War, at the: mere impulse of a man who has already lost his reason, and who is daily in danger of losing his , Crown It maybe supposed that the same motives will have much greater effeCt with the prudent * and. cautious Cabinet of Berlin. All the world know, and the Parisian Politicians themselves agree, that Prussia would take no part whatever in the Con.. lederacy of the North, were it not to avoid losing . the Alliance of RUssia, This consideration may . have determined FREDURIC to listen to the plans of Plait, and thus to abandon, to a certain de gree, the' system of perfet Neutrality which , accords with his interest in so many respdls, and . to which his Kingdom is indebted for the high rank which it has enjoyed in Europe since the Treaty of Basle. It is therefore extremely im probable that this Cabinet would, on the mere guarantee of a man who is in the situation of the EMPEROR Nut., risk the advantages -:'at: tached to the Systeni of Neutrality which it bas hitherto pursued, and that it would re nounce those which it must derive from an ami. - cable relation with us. It - could no doubt do us mischief; but this mischief would be no advantage to it, but quite the contrary. If the Cabinet of Peter/burgh would build on such lx;ses, that of Berlin would not be guilty of the same folly. It appears therefore to us, by the arrival of the last,news, that an important•ehange has been Oro:. duced in the affairs of the North, and we-ehould ; we acknowledge, be now greatly astonished at seeing the plans formed again,t tis brought to ma turitp However certain we feel of being able to avert them, it appears to us preferA;le , to be able to avoid the labour and the ,expene6 of a new War. The :hrpmburgh Mail which became- due on Sunday; 4 : not yet arrived. The KING yesterday, accompanied by Genera: GARTH and other Attendants, rode out in Wind. sor Great Park. , The ROYAL FAMILY came to Town from Windsor this day. fits MA J ESTY does not go down to the House of Peers this day as was expected. He.opens the Parliament by a Speech on Thursday: Mr. MAR 1 AN, the Messenger, left Town last night with Dispatches for His EXCCIICDCy LORD LI EUTENANT of Ireland : The nature of his mission, it is understood, relates to Letters sent to the different Members of the Imperial Parliament, to attend their duty 'at the coma, mencement of the Sessions. • Ti/EIR MAJESTIES, we understand, do not visit the Theatre this week, as intended. The Privy Council met at the Castle of Dublin on tlw zoth instant, when a Proclamation was ordered to be issued, perthitting the importation, free of duty, of Rice and Thdian Corn, and pro hibiting the exportation of these - articles till tae zsth of March. next, in consequence of the ascer tattled deficiency of the last atop of Corn in that' Country'for the supply of the inhabitants. Chapels are about to be built at all the Mili tary Stations in Bengal ; and in Consequence of re presentations of an alarming increase, or gutting and dissipation throughout the Presidency, ibut more especially at Calcutta, a variety of rules and police regulations have been adopted, in order to check the growing evil, The University of Oxford have, through' the several Colleges, subscribed 20001. to he ex pended by`a Commit tee for relieving the distresses of the poor at this time of general scarcity. The French Papers mention, that at a Ball, lately given at Genoa, a disturbance was excited by tiw Patriots, under the pretence that English country-dances were danced. The Patriots wen t in great numbers to the Theatre, as d signified their intention to prevent any dances but suede 33 they should approve. An Adjutant . belonging to General DARNAUD i the Commandant of the place, desired the Orchestra to play the English country-dances ; but he had scarcely given the order when he was grossly insulted. Hemstantly drew his sword, and ordered the doors of the Theatre to be shut; and having afterwards sent. tar a Company of Grenadiers, thirty of the rioters were arrested, who were all armed with stilettoes. Riger O'ConNor is arrived i n London, and is for the prdsent at the house alone of the King's Messengers, it it' not deci,lo,l where he is to go. ~. u . N. ;t: YESTERDAY the City Quarter SeS3iOD5 sat at Guildhall, for the purpose of settling the rate of Wages to be paid by Master Taylors to their Journeymen, pursuant to an Aet of Parliament of the Bth of the King, and in consequence of the „lite disputes between the Masters and Journey men rendering some new arrangements on this subjed necessary. In r769,.an At was made regulating the rate of Wages to be paid to Jour neymen, vesting the Quarter Sessions with the power of altering„this rate, on application froM theparties, acco r di ng to c i rcumstances, an d i m . posing heavy penalties upon Journeymen who shall refuse to work at the rate so fixed, and up on Masters who give more than is appointed.— By that Ad the rate' of Wages was - then fixed at Os. 9d. per week, In 1772, the rate was rais ed, by the City Quarter Sessions, to Ss. 9d, —to 1785, application was made for a farther increase, but rejeded. Since that time no application has been made by either party on the subject. But higher Wages have been given by the Masters, contrary to the An. a i 795, the Journeymen struck for an advance to aim. The Masters cog sented, and that has been since that time, the ordinary rate of wages. It is ):sown that the fourneymen have lately again struck for an ad. .ince. The illegallity, on the one hand, of their using such means to procure an advance, and on the other, of the Masters giving more than the last rate fixed by the Court in 1772, induced both parties to concur in the present application, for fixing a new Rate of Wages. On the part of die Masters, the Commorr SE RIEANT allowed, that they had been guilty of illegal conduct, in consenting to pay higher wages, in 1795, with out the sandion, of the Court, and that the rate last fixed by the Court, in 1772, is too low„con sidering the great advance that has taken place in the price of all the necessaries of life. But he, at the same time, contended, that present cir cumstances, melancholy as they may be for the poorer classes, are far from authorizing or justi, fying such an increase of Wages, as the journey men have of late demanded. He argued Iron the nature of the trade of a Taylor, from their working always under shelter, and from their being able to continue their work all the year round, that so far from their being intjtled to a higher rate of wages than other Aradesmen, such as Brick-l a y ers , Painters, 4.`kc, that their wages ought rather to be fixed at a lower rate, because the average of the total produce of wages would, at the end of the year, be in their favour, Mr. GURNEY, on the part of the journey• men, argued, that the Masters, by consenting to pay the men they employed ;ss. per week, in 1795, without applying to the Court, gave the strongest proof of their • convittion that that was Opt too high a rate of, wages even at that time ; and he contended that since 1795 7 ale advance in the Price of the most necessary Arti• cies of Life, has been so great as to justify the journeymen in ciemanding an increase of ticl. wages to 305.. per week. As to the nature the employnient of a Journeyman Taylor, he contended that it was extremely unhealthy in it; own nature, that the hours of their s,v(,ri.: appoint. eel by MI of Parliament, are longer than chose off' almost any ocher Trade, and that journeymen engaged in this' Trade; have not on an average more •than nine months employment in the year.. In order to prove these assertions, he called four Witnesses who had been Journeymen, but who have been for, from three to ten years, Master Taylors, whose evidence fully corroborated his statement, The Court afterwards called three Master and three Journeymen Taylors,. whose statements as to the average time which a Journeyn)an is cm, ployed during the year, and the rate of wages which in present circumstances he ought, to haVe a nearly corresponded. The Court, after maturely considering the whole Case, determined that the Wages of the Journeymen Taylors shall be 275. per week', or 4.5. 6d• per day, or in cases of general mourning, Bs. 6d. per day, or s is. per week, On the close of the Poll on Tuesday last,' for the County of Wicklow, the numbers were is follow : • For Lord PRORY, - 125 Mr. PONSONIIV, 98 We find in the history of Tournaments in this Country, that /11Qatfieidt was formerly`a great Theatre of adion. If the 'Emr littOlt PAUL per sists in his challenge, we can hardly imagiOe a fitter place for the decision of a contest with the EMPEROR ofRVSSIA. The Monittur, in publishing the measures of retaliation adopted - by the British Government, seems to have forgotten that England has ,it. this moment upwards of two h un d re d vessels looked up in the Baltic by the justice of the Ally of the Republic. -We publish, says' the French Editor, ,‘ The most outrageous act against the rights of Nations, *id of Sovereigns, with which any Government has ever been' inspired by the de. lirituo of ambition, of avarice anti despotism." The, following article ireopied from the 116 xi. tear.—" The English journals have published a Circular Lettpr, whii:h they say was written by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Ambassadors of the Powers in Alliance with Frarce denouncing the attempt of the a+th of Decemiser. Some dour Papers have copied this Letter literally from the English journals. But the 14,61 is, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote no such Letter as that attributed to him." A new method of conciliating the Chief Consul has been found out by the German Journalists. 44 If," say they, the Astronomers in any 'of our Universities should discover a new Constel. lation, they have resolved to call it by thp Chief Consul's name." All Europe will agree With them, if the objeet of their discovery sbould be a mai:Prato Start
