Majesty has been pleased to allow to be laid before tita-,Hwase of Commons, on the •subjea of the late nation; evince the:upright and honourable con duft of this,Country, as contrasted with the evasive,' false, and treacherous duplicity of the Enemy. The only blame which it seems.poSsible forthern to jhrow upon the Government is the protraaed length of its forbearance, vi Bich is falsely attributed to - the blind and weak contidenCe, • boideiing almost on sinzpli city," "which it placed in the artful imd repeated ter giversations of the French Ministers, 'Surely ,it is hardly necessary to repel this absurd and unjusti, fiable attack. The first objet of our Government was to convince ad,England zind the . French Mini sters that it was tonadide eager and datermined on Peace,. provided " that Peace . should be honourable for En.:land and its Allies, .and at the same . time of a natdr:: to s'ecure, as far as -it was in its power, the future trituquillity of Europe." . • While I`4r.Fos.llved this Couotry waS fully satisfied . , that - the disposition of one of the 'leaders Adml nistration.was avowedly and openly for Peace; and the whole- tenor of his •able and logical dispatches manifest these. sentiments. ..Tl\e views and opinions or Lord GRENVILLE have been tensidered different; , , . and, therefore, it was essential . for his charaQer, and the charaAer of all the Ministers, that no aiTear ?ice 'of baste,,ato sudden•er premature step, should be taken after the death of •Mr. Pox. What would have been ti t.° language of Opposition and the impres sion of this Country if Lord LAUDZEDALg had been recalled immediately after that unfortunate event ? Would. it not have been imputed to the rash and intemperate decision of Lord . IGRENVTt.LE, now re leased from the influence and opinions of Mr. Fox -2tlcl would not the, Freneh Government instantly have imputed , such a motive, for the termination of. the Negotiation, even protraQed as it was - , and •ne cei3mily I.r6traaed TALLEYIWND'S Letters, as published in the /Vonitelli, insinuate that the rough manners of our "Engli.sli , Ambassador, and the want of sincerity in our Ministers, ,obliged the. French Government to break off all further'Ne getiation. When would the Opposition have re commended all further Negotiation to have ceased ? Was it at the time Mops. D'OJBRIL had signed the Russian Treaty ?. Surely .if ever we were called upon not abruptly to conclude, it, this was the . moment. Again, would they have had our Minister return at, the moment this Treari was rojetlei at t, Pc;ers burgh ? .Surely it was then more particularly incurn 7 bent upon 'England, for the - Aake of 4r Ally, as a proof of her sincerity, to maintain the princk • . pies upon which alone- tire Treaty had originated. But tet . us examine the foundation of this attack; and y,:_e • think it is . answered 'in one sentence, re!er ring to the Correspondence, in which. it will be seen that both LOrd YARNOUTI i i Lord LAT7DLIMALE , - repeatedly, and in the most urgent and explicit ,manner, demanded their passports when the prin- Ciples - upon. whieh i tbe Negotiation, commenced were denied. Now let - us conclude -by asking, What in, jury. this Country, or Europe, .has sustained : . by the length of our Negotiation—Did it aceele -rate the -War with Prussia ? and, even if it did, were. .we , in alliance with Prussia, - or in any way responsible for it ? Was Prussia ignorant at any one moment of the state of our Nego tiation—and did she at anyone moment, either to Russia or Great Britain; announce- her intentions, until she had i aaually taken the field? 'Was Russia injured by it ? Certainly not, for 'to thAbjeels of Russia, and, for her interests alone did England pro . traa her Negotiations.--Has England itself suffered by-it ? Certainly not—for every Englishman is now convinced that our Government ha's acted honour ably, conscientiously, -and with dignity and since rity—while the condu& ,of our Enemy, has• been marked , by treachery, want' •of faith, and by that duplicity which is the proMinento,(i,md, unfortunate ly, 'the most sucCeSsfuly feature.of his Government. . The ROYAL FAMILY heard ~Diyiae Service, as ye-Acrday, wad .llis MAJESTY received the Sa craaacilt.

This aCliein spews that, however he May be exalted ley the mean. submir,ion of the; people, who groan beneath hiS tyranny, the low passions of,his and the savage'•pride of. 11;3 mind, never can 'be efi . aced. 7 .-It 'might have occurred to hitn, that - , yliea he...yays t4t? debt of nature, if he should•not ,sink beneath the arm of justice, that people may be dis posed to retaliate upon his, remains, and indeed treat' them with every marl , of,indignation and contempt. • A Dublin Pape!' of the 22d, received yesterday,. gives the following account :of those . disturbers of the' peace called. Threshers. A large party of Threshers, in the comty Long -ford,. assemble, to go to the cabin of the peasant, whom; by fair or foul means, they Mako a proselyte of to their cause; .an oath is administered, that he will obey the commands '0 Captain. 'futtESllElt ; he is then,. as if 'to try - his,obedience, commanded to join. tlieir party for the next three nights:, Whkeh are em ployed in initiating: others ; •anti; as they always Like care to enlist a sufficient number, they are able to discharge - their ," Limited Service Men," according to these agreements, when their nights of proku tionary ontrage are fulfilled, without any clinliMilion of their,ntnbers ai...tually employed. - ", They have invariably avoided every house; where resistance was to' be expe6ted. A Gentlerhaa who lives near Canard, gave them notice that he was prepared , for them, but they did noraccept the challenge. A neighbour of his received - a message that as his wife was pregnant, they would_ not give him a call until after her -accqucheme-kt. "The few persons of abetter de§ciiption,:wiiQm they have compelled to take ti ese oaths, - they have *not ordered to.join iii their-noaitinal,expe4liiions, perhaps prom a dread that they might see too munch of their operations, and there are few houses in Jhe country that.they cculd visit with safety Witt have escaped them. ,Nhe,tlier it..be that extreme poVerty will not atiordthem m shirts, or from the love of change, they now - begin' to dress tliernselVes Out in straw. 7 Mr. RICHARDSON, we are happy, to state, is near, ly recovered.from,the offe4s of the serious .wound he received. some . time back iii his rencontre with the Baron..
