SALEM QUIS picertz FALSUM AUDEAT ? O D o 7kcZ'E7iNi SI)Ar, JANUARY 1, 1806, TO THE PUBLIC. IT is not in dull Conformity with established usage, that; 'at the commencement of this New Year, we address our Readers ; we are actuated by different it - . much stronger motives—by gratitude for that almost unprecedented Support and Patronage which we haiTe for so many ,years experienced, and by the hope that by firmly maintaining the same prin ciples,' and by constantly making the same exertions, We'sliall continue to possess that large share of Pub lic favour whichwe have hitherto enjoyed. With out attempting, or wishing in any degree to depre elate tl;e efforts of our Competitors, we trust we' may, without presumption or • the hazard of contradi6lion, assert, that no personal exertion, no expence, has hitherto been spared to merit the ..gtipport we have received ; and ,it is as much our interest as it is our duty that they should be con tinued, and, if i:•ossible, increased fbr the future. The political principles which we originally adopted from convietion, and which we have uniformly main tained without interruption, we will continue to support, under every vicissitude which, in this event ftil period, may occur. A firm attachment to that Con stitution, under which this Empire has risen to a state .„, of almost unexampled prosperity, and under which its inhabitants have - enjoyed a degree of happiness un known to the ‘ rqt of mankind, has been, and we trust, alWays will be,the distinguishing Characaeristic of Tun Set , and in proportion as we venerate that Constitu tion, as we value the blessings we enjoy under it, Ni-e are irresistibly, impelled to admire and to support that Man to whom we are convinced we are indebted (under Providence) for' an exemption from that , dreadful ttain of calamities which has visited the Continent of, Europe, and which at this moment thieatens the whole civilized world. The necessary briefness of such an Address as the present renders it almost impossible to avoid connea ing together subje&s of the utmost importance, and those of a comparatively trifling nature ; we trust, therefore, that our Readers will excuse us if we in trude for a moment upon their time,by offering a few observations in justification of that almost systematic silence which We have observed upon those illiberal attacks that are almost daily made upon us by some of _our Contemporaries.—At the commencement of the present COntest, when,by the restless ambition of an Individual, Great Britain was Compelled to try its strength single-handed against France, we were fully aware of the momdntous nature of that' con test. We knew that it was an arduous one; but we knew also that it was one in which, if the People of ( this Country a&ed with firmness, unanimity and vi gour, they Could not fail. We have, therefore, en deavoured, as much as' -possible, to avoid those cussions, which tend much more frequently to irri tate than to convince, which create dissections in stead of prOmeting union. Let it not be supposed that for a moment we wish to deprecate the most free and open discussion : what we wish to avoid in ourselves, and if possible to suppress in others, is, that system of illiberal insinua tion and coarse inveaive which can only tend to exasperate adverse parties against .each other, to neutralize the resources of the State, and thereby to faCilitate the mirernitting exertions of our it Enemy. For ourselves, personally,- we have no • , motive to regret these .att4cks• ; they cannot injure usL , --but we wish, at this awful moment, not to see the strength of the Country weakened by the con flias-between contending parties, which ought to be direaed, with undiminished vigour, against the Com s • mon Foe. OUR Letter from Deal states, that orders have been sent down for all the Transports that can be colleaed to sail - immediately for the Elbe and Weser, and that a considerable number have already sailed, for the purpose of receiving on board the British Troops now on the Continent, if the intelligence of. an Armistice between the Belligerent Powers should unfortunately prove true.—We are still unable to lay before our Readers anTfurther information upon thlrtubjeet rye have submitted to their considera . tion all the accounts o es which have reached us, and the observations which occurred to us upon them. Four Ham burgh Mails are now due, we are consequently still without that species of intelligence which can alone enable us to form an accurate con clusion with respeEt to the events which have lately taken place on the Continent. If, hoWelier, 'the War on the cntinent is really at an end, then it behoves us seriously to look at hopw. Ii BONAFARTE is at - Wally enabled to cajole or force' the Continental Powers into a disiraceful rea,ce i , there cannot be the least doubt that his Yibu t .4 'forte wtll employed for the purpose of liking ad.. r attempt •to carry into ale& his long threuened pri)jeet of Invasion. No sa,crifice of men will lie eolisider as coo great, if he conpcives he has the most distant chance of being enabled to land aiy considerable force upon our shores. At such a moment ous crisis, unanimity, firmness, and energy-a:ill-1ring a whole nation•in arms, can alone save us. Lef every man reflea, that the preservation of all he.holds dear in life -must then depend upon his own "personal exertions, in conjunaion with those of his fellow- . countrymen, and let him be ready to take his 'sta tion in the hour of danger. We have no doubt if the dip is really cast upon the Continent, thaf• this Country will present a specetacle scarcely paralleled in history, that of a Nation of Freemen in arms, sa crificing all party views and petty animosities, aEtuated alone by the noblest impuls6 of patriotism, and by a determination one and all to meet the Enemy bravely in the field, td conquer` or to perish. We say thus much, because it would be idle to dissemble that BONAPARTE is bent upon the ruin of this Country. If he has triumphed on the Conti— neat, 'pur (awn energies alone can save us. We are convinced they can save us, and hurl desquetion upon the Foe. New-1 ork Papers to the 4th ult. arrived yester r day. They contain no news of importance. One of theni mentions that the notorious Thomas' Paine had been attacked a second tine by the palsy, and hactbeCOMe extremely religious ! Yesterday morning His MAJESTY and three of the pßiNcE § s § , with their attendants, took an airing in Windsor Great Park. HER MAJESTY and the Other PRlxcesses took an airing to Frogrnore. His Royal Highness the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE, the Dutchess of GORDON,. and a large party of No bility, dined yesterday with the Countess of HAR RINGTON, at her-house, Stable-yard, St. James's. A, large and valuable Fleet froni the Baltic; under convoy of the Charles ArMed Ship, have arrived at They left Elsinore on the 13th tilt. Several of those Veskls which at one time were, supposed -to have been locked up for the winter in the Baltic, by the frost, are among the number; and some others which-had sailed from Petersburgh, but not reached the Sound previous to the 14tfi,- are daily expeCted. Some of these Vessels haVe -been de tained at Elsinore a month by contrary - winds. On Sunday evening the 22d ult. while the guard of the mail coach from London had gone into the post office at Macclesfield, the Stockport bag w s stolen from the coach, and the thief has hitherto eluded detection. The bag was found in a field near the former place on Thursday last, but the letters had all been taken out: The late visit of the LORD MAYOR to the Public Offices • has . been in support of the dignity of the City, and to remonstrate against his Lordship's si tuation in the Funeral. Procession of Lord NELsoN, to follow the Lord Chief Justice. His Lordship has contended, from custom, for his right to follow any. personage of the Blood Royal, the same -as if 'His MAJESTY were in the Procession. It has ever been customary, when His MAJESTY visits the City in state, „for the LORD MAYOR to meet hirn . at Tem ple Bar. When he present's His MAJESTY with the City SWord of State ; the KING desires his Lordship to follow him. His Lordship gained his wished-for object of honour , on Monday, when the ariangement was made at the Herald's'Office for him to follow the Royal Dukes. • • . _ _ Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, his Lord ship, several Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and the Town Clerk, met Mr. Wyxra-, the Archileec; at St. Paul's, to arrange the places for-the accommodation of the Corporation of the City of London. The applica tions for seats are so extremely numerow, that WYATT gave dire&ions for seats to be made to the top of the arches, which was not originally intend ed; likewise for additional seats in the West Gal, lery, which will decidedly have the best view, of the solemn Procession.

I have Much pleasure in communicating to you the good conch* of the Officers and Men of the Egyptienne in this affair, and have only tp re gret that the inferior force of the Enemy did not give roOrn for the full extent of their services.
