SOLIM cr.711 DlCtat FALSUM AC/DZAT LONDO OCTOBER ;0, i3Ol. Wj this finennon received, 72. y EXpREsS, Pnr;s papers to the i 7th inst. They contain the Treaty of Peace concluded betwen France and Rii;slr. The Preamble recites the disposition to amity between the two Powers. The, first Article stipulates to that efie4, The. second Article provides for the Cc.s, 'sation of Hostilities, and that neither party shall furnish the other with any contingent or assistance. The third Article declares that the Contraaing Parties, being desirOus As' much as possible, Of con.. tributing to the repose .of the respeaive Govern ments, promise that none of their Subjeas shall hold any intercourse, dire or indirea, with the ir)ternal enemies of the respeetive States, in order to : the propagation of principles contrary to their respeCtive Constitutions, or 'to the fomenting of tronbles, The fourth 'ArtiCle places the respective Embassies on the same footing as before the War. The fifth does the same with respect to the comMer_ vial intercourse. The sixth deciares the Treaty common to the Batavian Republic. And -by the seventh, the Ratifications are to be e;tehanged in fifty days. • An Order of Government appoints Jost pH BONA PARTE PlenipOtentiary Minister of the Republic at the Congress of 4biriens. A long Letter from TotissAlNT LOOTER‘Tu . RE, On-the subject of St. Domingo, occupies- - too much apace to be admitted, at the late hour at whichthese Papers reached us, ip . our jounial of tO-44—y. THE report that Marquis CORN NV ALLIS was to 'cave Town to-day for Amiens, originated altoge ther' in the impatience which the Public, feel for the confirmation of the Preliminaries of Peace by a De foitive Treaty. A very short time will, however, elapse before his Lordship leaves ngland, but we o not believe that . he goes to Aezi , ./is in the first instance, but to Pari.;. The few poiots that remain , to be adjusted will probably be decided in the Capital, and it is from thence that he will pr9ceed to the scat of Congress, pro forma. He will take with him from Paris Mr.'N'Tzta.Y, as Secretary of Legation : Mr. Moore, of the Foreign QtEce, accompanies him as Under Secretary, but we have ;not heard, nor do we believe that Col. Li TT!, EH AL ES is to accompany Via Lordship in any capacity. The Hambgrgh Mail which became due on Sun day, is not yet arrivew.'

PRINCE WILLIAM of GLOUCESTER is appointed by the DUKE of YORK to the command of the Northern, Distrid. We believe His Highness will make Lancaster Head-quarters. We never credited the kport of the French princes returning to Edinburgh, which we now find to he totally void of foundation. The report that the ci.devant Duke De LIAN COURT to be sent on a diplomatic errand to this Country, is not likely to have the least foundation. This member of the old noblesse is not esteemed by either side. The Nobility con_ cider him as too. much of a . 7ac4i 4 to he entitled to their ‘cc4dence ; and the jacabilr.rthink he 11,:s too duel of the pride of Aristocracy, The fad is, that the Duke Unites the qualities of both orders, but not those.qualities which are calculped to iessen the prejudices against either.

The Sxrzvarrbw, of 14. guns, Lieut. NICHOLSON, is arrived at Plymouth, from the Fleet off Brest. He went into Brest Harbour, and landed with a Flag of Truce from the Hon. Admiral Co ATCWALL s for the French AdMiral VILLAREr, Port Admiral at Brest. Lieutenant NICHOLSON was received with the greatest joy, and experienced the most . polite atten tion from all ranks of people. He dined the• first day of his landing with Admiral VI.L LAIi ET, Ma dame V t LLAz CT, and suite, with whom he visited the Play-house, and afterwards attended a Ball.— The second day Lieutenant NICHOLSON dined with Admiral Dor Ga. Ay INA, the Spanish Admiral.— Before his departure, Madame V t I, t, AR ET presented him with a Morocco purse, containing a small, but highly finished bust, in whitf enamel,of BoNitr, Alt pr, Chief Consul, under a convex ghiSs set with silver, as a token of her esteem for the British Nation, and the happy return of Peace. She sent the Sit. warrow, as a present, some hampers or,fluit for the Honourable Admiral CoßNwAt.t.ts, then off Ushant. Lieutenant NICHOLSON speaks the highest•teims of his reception at Brest. He left in Brest water twenty-three. sail of the line, of 7.vhich six were three-deckers. The batteries were vett_ liarly strong, and well provided with forgo for heating shot. The Hydra Frigate captured a Spanish Ship Pri vateer, to the Southward of the Tagus, a day Or two after she had seen the Lisbon convoy over the Bar. His Majesty's ~Ship Adder, with a Convoy for the Baltic, sailed from Gravesend on the 16th in stant. The Hannah (of Whitby), T. Seaton, and the Mary (of Sunderland), W. Arrowsmith, are put into Ronne in Tornholtn, the Hannah haying been aground, and the Mary having lot her mainmast in a gale of . wind ; both have received considerable damage, and must heave down toaepair.

Drurj-Lane, KEri4LE Ventured into the Ada last night in the character of Richard, .a nd noiwithstanding that he has played it several times this season, and ~that public "curiosity might naturally he expeaed to be 'diverted towards the other Theatre, on" account of the expeaed disturbance, he had' a very numerous.. Audience. There was no occasion to exiinplain of any want of alacrity and eheeiif fnt he exerted himself with more than common energy, and, animated perhaps by the spirit cornßetittp, never performed with more •succbss. Covent-Gareleif, Tut curiosity of she Public was naturally in. terested in the re-appearance ottoolcz, in conse. quence of his non-attendance on the opening of the Season. A very numerous audience therefore was :collected last night at an early hour, and. a general impatience 'and anxiety seemed to prevail. Before the Play began, COOKE, without .being called for, came forward, with a countenance strongly expres sive of solicitude and alarm. In a-moment the ge nerosity of the English charaOer burst forth, and he was received with shouts of applause. Al length a deep silence prevailed, and he addressed, the Audience to the following effe. - it, and nearly in the following Words.: "LADIES AND GENT,I.ZZ,TEN, It is with extreme concern that I feet myself limier the just ne'cessiiy of apologizing to you on the first night that I have the honour of appearing before you. I certainty had :tot ob tained leave to be absent; but I had strong reason to expect that I should not be wanted in town at the very beginning of the seak3n, and I did not receive any summons for that pur pose. A letter was, indeed, sent from the Theatre, but was direded to Inc at Manchester, after I had left it, and did not reach me at Newcastle till it was impossible for me, with the utmost exertion, to arrive in London time enough to appear upon the opening of the season. With the events which have since happened you are sufficiently acquainted. 1 earnestly trust that you will have the goodness to excuse this involuntary failure. I may not, be worthy of your kind protealuif, but it shall always be my anxious endeavour to deserve it.'! This short address was received with the warm est plaudits, and the attempts of a few dissenting voices were itrimediately overborne in the generill clamour of approbation. The Tragedy of . Richard the Third then com menced, when CooKE again came on the stage to deliver the first.soliloquy, twp or three hisses were heard, but they only helped to draw forth a renewed testimony of public kindness. , We have so fully given our opihiort of Mr. CooxE's merits as an Ador, and particularly in the charader"Of Richard, that 'we hardly need say any thing of his performance last night, It was not at all affeaed by the previous agitation of his mind. On the contrary, a sense of the difficulty he had surmounted, seemed to give a new stimulus to his powers, and he was certainly not wanting in ap parent zeal to testify his gratitude for the generoth amnesty he had experienced, at a time when he had 'probation. • There was an addition to the Arm of Richard last night which the text requires, but which has hitherto been omitted. Richard speaks of brckling on hi s armour, but has never appeared in armour: COOKE last night after the tent-scene, appeared ;vith a breast-plate and gauntlets, -Which considera. lily improved his .martial aspeft. One of his spurs caught in the trappings of the tent, and threw him down, but the fall was of no consequence. CoaY appeared in the charaeter of Richmond; and played it with judgment, though not without some sym ptoms of diffidence, which evidently restrained his power;. An ingenious mechanic has invented a machine to prevent drowning, which is said most efFeflually to a nswer the end proposed. Py the use of it a per. son may sit or walk in the water with the utmost confidence that he cannot sink. The machine is of copper ; and so construCted, that in the event of its striking againt a rock, or being partially in jured, it will yet serve to support the person in the water. The populace of this vast Metropolis derive great credit for the order and decorum which theyobscry ed in the celebration of the rejoicings far.the Peace. The accidents which did occur by the lining of musquetN and pistols, were the effeas of indiscretion, not of malice ; and when we consider that d mil 1;on of People, or more, were at once parading the. Streets of London, elated by a most happy public event, we cannot but think that the praise of good sense and moderation is peculiarly their due. The Opposition to the Peace, in Parliament, is expefted to be confined to a very small number. It is an event which has diffused such general joy, that the exceptions to its participation in any rank of society must be very few indeed. A serious affray took place at Colchester Rai. racks on Thursday last, between the 49th Regi. ment, and some of the Militia. The particulars we forbear to mention. We are happy, however, to learn, that by the good conduit of General LENOX, peace was restored the same evening, even before the arrival of the Third Dragoon Guards, who were ordered from the Town, and attended with the greatest alacrity. Early on Friday morn. ing, the 49th marched to Chelmsford, the Third Dr2goon Guards attended at the end of the Town wink drawn swords : and, an hour after, the Cam. bridge Militia marched out of the GarrisOn for 14orWielt. So sudden were these routes, that the Billet_Masters did not receive orders for impressing Waggoos till near eleven on Thursday night ; and,. some had five miles to come to the Barracks, many were loaden, and on their route by half past sx,next Morning. The 16th Light Dragoons on Weineeday and TburAay marched from Brighton to Southampton'. The Shropshire Militia are arrived at Winches. teC, from the Isle of Wight, and are to remain there the winter. THE FRENCH BISHOPS. TRANSLATION FROM THE LATIN OF THE LETTES WRITTEN BY THE THIRTEEN ERENCH BIsHoPS RESIDENT IN LONDJN, TO THE POPE, IN AN. SIVER TO HIS BRIEF OP THE 15TH AUG. ISO'.

Nor indeed do we mean to say this, as if it would seem grievous or a hardship upon us to resign our rank in those melancholy and troublesome times! but rathe: that it would, as much as possible con duce to the private happiness of each of us, to have our infirmity relieved from so great a burthen, if we may still think of any thing of happiness GL consolation with minds broken by the weight of many misfortunes. But the line of our duty seem+► to us, fully to require that we should never zuffer that tic which has bound us, and the Churches irrld mediately committed, by the providence of the most great and good god, to our care, to be broken• fc We earnestly beseech your Holiness, that, in some Writing to be speedily drawn up, we may Oc permitted tO•disclose and enter somewhat - more :O. large into the arguments upon which we' thouer right. to aka in this manner, 'and the grounds of Or resolution.
