Liberty of the teas is restered, and the conquered Cc'. lonies are given up. The Negotiations bet Ween France and Austria still continue, and it does not appear that the Cabinet of Vienna have yet com plied with the demands of BONArALITE respeEting the removal of the Austrian Troops. It is highly probable that the passage of Russian Troops through a small part of the Austrian Territories will furnish BONA'. rARTE with a new cause of complaint—he has, how ever; himself furnished the Cabinet of Vienna with an answer—" Never did any passage,. executed with tranquillity, excite any thing more than explana tions between friendly Powers." Some of the private Letters which have been re ceived from the Continent, state, that the French, ending themselves greatly disappointed with respe& to the amount of British property at Hamburgh, have offered to withdraw their Troops upon the pay ment of a sum of 16,000,000 of marks banco. The Senate declared their inability to pay so large a sum, but offered 6,000,000, which has been refused by Marshal MORTIER, who has, however, hinted that be will be satisfied with a sum of 10,000,000. THE accounts which are said to have been re ceived of the total failure of MIRANDA, and of his having finally resolved to abandon his attempts upon the Spanish Possessions, are in a great degree un founded. It is certainly true that MIRANDA, finding by experience that the force with which he landed was insufficient to enable him to advance into the country, where he would undoubtedly have been joined by immense numbers of the inhabitants, judged it expedient not to persevere until he was able to colle& a more considerable force : He accordingly withdrew to Trinidad, where he left his Vessel, the Leander, and then went to Barba doe:;, where he had several interviews with Admira l COCHRAW E,' on board the Northumberland. He pro posed to return to Trinidad on the 4th or sth of November, and it was generally supposed that he meant to renew his attempt with.tbe assistance of a British Force. Yesterday the New Parliament assembled, and Mr. ABBOT was, as we predicted, eleaed Speaker of the House of Commons without a dissentient voice. It would not become us to offer any obser vations upon the re-election of that Gentleman to fill the important and dignified Office of Speaker of the House of Commons; but - we cannot avoid re ferring our Readers to the Speeches of Mr. BA THURST, Mr. WILBERFORCE, and Mr. GRENVILLE, as we are convinced that they contained the sen timents of every person who has been a witness to the manner in which Mr. ABBOT has hitherto discharged the duties of that arduous office. This morning, at twelve o'clock, the new Speaker, fc companied by Mr. BATHURST, Mr. WILBERFORCE, Lord Ho wIcK, and several Members of the House of Commons, attended at the Bar of the House of Lords, where the LORD CHANCELLOR signified His MAJESTY'S approbation of the choice of the House House of Coliamons. The other Commissioners were Earl SPENCER, the Earl of AYLESFOBD, and Lord WALSINGUANI. The Speaker then made the usual Claim of the Freedom of Speech, and the other Privileges of the Commons. He then returned to the House of Commons, where a great number of Member; were sworn in. As the times are very critical, and as our Enemy is likely to employ every possible means that may tend to injure this Country, we notice with great pleasure a new regulation in the Alien Department, which has been brought forward by Earl SPENCER. By this measure, all strangers, before they, embark for Great Britain, must obtain a Passport from the British Resident in the Country from which they are about to depart, and this document, on their arrival, 'must be counter-signed by the Minister from that Country residing here. In cases of negle&, of which due notice is immediately to be given to the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, those who have not such a testimonial to produce will be considered as objets of suspicion, and 'will, of course, not be per mitted to continue in this Country. A measure of this kind was absolutely necessary in the present posture of affairs, particularly as 'we have already a prodigi ous number of Foreigners among us, many of whom, doubtless, ought to be observed with the most Vigilant caution. Last night, about seven o'clock, His Royal High atess the PRINCE of WALES arrived at Carlton House, in his travelling barouche and four, from the Pavi lion at Brighton. Yesterday the Danish Ambassador transacted bu iiness with Lord HowicK. Earl SPENCER laid before FIIS MAJESTY on Wed nesday, at the Levee, a list of 100 convi&s under sentence of transportation. His MAJESTY was pleased to order them all to be transported to Botany Bay, for which place they will sail in a fortnight. The Deputy Messenger of the Great Sea! attends every day in the Prince's Chamber, to deliver Writs of Summons to the Peers of Parliament. There was nn Court of Aldermen held to-day but the LORD MAyoR, after inspeaing the returns of the Alealweigbers., ordered the price-of Bread to be lowere4 id, per Peck. ct 4, A.ei PA 1, iv I,' ip,§... • .

MELLISH's STUD. A greater concourse of sportsmen has seldom been 'witnessed at TATTERSALL'S than appeared yes terday, in consequence of the of the Stud be longing to this hero of the 7: n - f.

The Tempest, as altered by DRYDEN, has now en tirely overcome all critical storms, and seems to be established as a stock piece. It was last night at tended at Covent Garden Theatre by a very numer ous audience, and throughout very 'well received.-- , - KEMBLE'S Prospero is a performance of august so lemnity and expression. Thq late unsuccessful Piece, entitled Mr. H. which was rather too hastily withdrawn, as it might have been modified into an entertaining Farce, has been erroneously imputed to Mr. ALLINGHAM. The real Author, we understand, is a Gentleman named - LAMBE. As Mr. ALLINGHAM has hitherto been very successful in his Farces, we are glad to hear that he has another produetion of that kind, which is very soon to be brought forward at Covent Gardeti Thea tre. The plunder of West India produce, which here tofore took place in the River, is now etieaually checked. The Direaors of the West India Docks are putting the wholesome provisions of their Aet of Parliament in force, under the auspices of the Rev. Mr. ROBSON, of Goodman's Fields, who, in his ca pacity of Magistrate, hears and determines their causes as they arise. Mr. J. SMALMAN undertook on Sunday, for a wager of ten guineas, to walk from London-Bridge to Shooter's-hill, and back again, in two hours and a half (16 :Mies). He started at half past six, and accomplished it in two hours and 20 minutes, Singular Robbery.—previous to the interm•:nt of a Gentleman who died last week, at Hull, an at tempt at a robbery ofa singular nature was deteaed. The family having taken their leave of the deceased, the Undertaker and his wife were left to fasten up the coffin. A servant who wisheil to see her master once more, ran into the room for that purpose,• but was resisted by them she forced her way in, how ever, and on taking up the lid, was shocked to see the shroud, and every article of that nature, taken away. She immediately informed. the deceased's friends, who could not 'credit the report ; but at length the wretch was compelled to unscrew the coffin lid, which he had fastened dciwn, when the fast appeared too evident. The shroud, &c. were found upon this nefarious plunderer. The following young Artists received the Medal given by the Royal Academy on Wednesday last : mr, Molt TLA oy, for the best Drawing from Lifer r. Corr, tor the best Model from Lire. Mr. GA 14Dy, for an Architectural Drawing, Xvest View of St. Paul's, from au adual measurement—his Drawing was the only one from this Medal. On Friday the Earl of DERBY turned out a fine sporting stag, near the Oaks, which was followed by upwards of sixty Gentlemen, dressed in scarlet jackets and hubting caps. The sport promised very fair at starting, but, after an hour's dire, the stag headed -back, and was taken at Croydon. iilolll THE FRENCH PAPERS. . , . , Penis, DE'c. 4.--bn the 2d instant Lk ilightuAs the Arch-Chancellor Or the Empire i'eTiaired to the B'etraie. Hi* Highneis itipeared in grand costume, and opened the Sitting with We fotloWing Ad tliess 4 At the moment when the'gittiiii& of the tion hac placed the reins of Government in the bands of his Majesty, be eitablishi-d between hicfi self and you the habitual corinekiori of etinfiderice', and a communication of thoughts, which have made you partaker's in the grind designs conceived arid executed for the good of this great Empire, " Thus you have been seasonably inforined, thai his Majesty's first wi'she's Wert foi Peace, and that this generous Sentiment never abated. " Before he appeared upon the field of battle, he offered peace to his enemies. " After vietory, his triumphant band never ceased to offer the olive branch. " He 'liOpeid that the particular Treaties entered into, and successively conciliating every interest, would gradually appease every sentiment, and final ly lead to that General Pacification so ardently de sired by th 6 Nations df Europe, and so necessary to their felicity. " His Majesty's expe&ations have been deceived. " Europe, drawn towards repose by the viaories of France, has been incessantly recalled to combat by the influence of Great Britain, and the ambitious pretensions of Russia. " Coalitions, successively overthrown, have gi ven birth to new ones. The mo.leration of the viEtor has encourned the vanquished. " The greatest efforts of the military genius, as well as the exploits of an Army which reckons as nothing either distance, or season, or the number of its enemies, have hitherto terminated only in glo rious armistices, the fruits of which have not been peke. " England, in the mean while, has seized upon the commerce of the world ; all the products of in dustry in both Hemispheres would be swallowed up in that :land. In the mean while Russia, so long a stranger to the disputes in Europe, is fomenting disorders in the West, at the same time that she threatens the East with her vast power. " The Ottoman Empire is disturbed ; vexations increase against it ; and it may be said that the right cf sovereignty in this Empire are rendered uncertain. " In this juthure, amidst these machinations and plots, his Majesty is compelled to abandon a course in which he cannot find that peace which the con• queror alone has sought. " It is necessary henceforth to render peace de sirable to those who provoke war. " It is necessary to render war fatal to those who suffer themselves to be involved in it. " It is necessary to reduce Cabinets to the happy impotence of not being deceived any more. "It is necess a ry that Princes so often conquered should learn that clemency has its limits, and that the sceptres they have abused may perish in their hands. " Hence, Gentlemen, the necessity of a new plan of conduct, and accessory measures proper to insure success. " The first, and most important, consists in sup porting the power of the Nation, by continuing the same means as before, and by the development of its forces. " 4 will afterwards be necessary, that a Nation guilty of the infra6tion of the laws of civilization should be deprived of all its relations with all civi lized people. " It is necessary that his Majesty should retain all his copquests ; and that he should drive from them all the abettors of discord, till the moment when England shall acknowledge those principles, which, among polished nations, temper the disasters insepa rable from their dissention ; till the epOch shall arrive, when a just restitution shall have acquitted us of our obligations towards our faithful Allies ; in fine, till a general Peace shall establish the repose of Europe, and allow to all nations tine complete deve lopment of their industry. " Gentlemen, you will appreciate all that is great and glorious in this design. Its approaching advan tages, and those it will offer for the future, will not escape your sagacity, whioh will there find an ample compensation for the necessary persever ance and the momentary sacrifices of which it will be the price. " The guarantee of the execution of this plan, his nijesty will find in the love of his people ; the fidelity of the Senate (so often tried) ; and the cou rage of his armies ; but, above A; in that genius, whose success has never belied its inspirations, and in that ardour which admits of no obstacles, when the glory of France and the happiness of the hu man kind are concerned."

VIENNA; Nov. gi.—The rumour has been sPrea,l hete; but we knoW niSt how far it is well font) !ed, t hat the EMPeror of the French aPPearei !sea With the assembling of an army in Bohemia. Tile p;1:,- tic of Vienna and the principal cities of the 114J1) ITV! v . had conceived some uneasines s resPeiling the I v g which the Cabinet ofAust. is might tae in these circurri stances ; but we flatter ourselves that it will not per sist in supporting an army upon the Frontiers of Bohemia and Morata ; for, since hostilities have ceased in that quarter, the only motive for collet : troops there no longer exists. It appears that the Russians are determine. 3 to venture upon a new war against France ; though their first plans must have been considerably de ranged by the late events in Prussia. We are, how ever, certain that this war will not operate as a new temptation to Austria. it was easily foreseen that the misfortunes of Prussia would produce very little effect upon those Powers whom she negleeted to succour with her al liance.when she might have done it, and when they were in the greatest need. The Public now specu late upon disasters with the utmost indifference; and among our troops sentiments still more unfavour able are manifested. As the manner in which the Russians have repro sented the events of the last campaign has been ge nerally disrelished in Austria, there is no doubt but that should they experience any new reverses, they will also be treated with indifference, not to say any worse of them. MILAN, Nov. `26.—The French Consul at An cona has informed the Minister of Marine that Captain CARLI, Commandant of the Italian Corsair Le Sans Pear; which lately provisioned the Island of Tremitti, with so much success, in consequence of ,running through an English Division, has again distinguished himself against a Russian Xebec of 20 guns. Captain CARL' was forced by stress of weather into St. Pennino, in the Island of Agoetc, in Dalmatia, when a Russian Corsair and two Italian prizes took refuge there also. The Sens Peur did not hesitate in attacking them, and after an obstinate fight, obliged tkem to cut their cables and rim, leaving their Sloop and t crew of 'l3 men, four of whom were killed, and the rest made prisorers... Among the latter, seven were wounded. Captain CARLI also re-took one of the Italian prizes ; the other WAS sunk by the Russian Xebec. Mr. SHERIDAtf, at a select Meeting of the Elec tors of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary, on Saint day last, held at the Navy Coffee-house, where they had a Dinner in honour of his return to Parliament, made a very admirable speech, in which lie repre- sented the beneficial efredts - of the British Constitu tion in terms of glowing eloquence, and with irresist able force of argument. Among other striking passages were the following, which well de serves the notice of all the people of this Country, as it will teach them to estimate the blessings they enjoy, while the whole of the Continent is either enduring the pressure of arbitrary power, or in dan ger of falling under a military despotism of the most severe and odious description : " That there are defeets in our Constitution ; that there are things which we must bear, and it would have .been better could they be avoided, I admit ; but I main tain, that such a happy, such a complete and im proved state of soci e ty, as we enjoy, does not exist any where else on the face of the habitable globe. —The same language which I addressed to the poorest peasants, at a late Meeting at Epsom, I would address to you. Do not look to your cottage, do not look to your home-stall, but look to the hopes and future fortunes of .your children. These are the great obje&s which you are called upon to defend and protect. So I say to 'you, if you have a son of promising talents, pour ambition into his mind ; put him into the Navy, and he may become a Lord NELSON ; put him into the Army, and he may become an ABERCROMSY ; put him to the Law, and he stands his chance for the Great Seal of England, as the reward of his genius and his la bours. This is the state of society which we enjoy. This is the strong position which I take ; and I defy the loudest brawler among the pretended friends of 'liberty to shake is, or point out a single ati of my life not calculated to uphold it. I defy him to point out a single vote I ever gave in Parliament that Was not for the poor against the rich, for the weak against the strong, and the preservation and improvement of that eirviable state of society which we enjoy.— Every man who refleets, must love a Consitution in which, from the wisdom of the laws, the Libe:rality of sentiment on which they were framed, and the temper of society, virtue, and industry, wherever found, were sure of their reward ; and the lowest man in the Country might aspire to the highest ho nours of the State." Late on Friday night, or early on Saturday morn ing, the shop of Mr. Yonge, watchmaker, in the Strand, was broke open and robbed of watches, &c. to the amount of upwards of teol.
