Via have already pronounced it our opinion, that ' the late discussions between France and this Country have been solely confined to the subje& of an In terchange of Prisoners; and have not in the slightest degree touched upon points which could possibly lead to• Overtures 'of a' peaceable complexion. In ,this view of the Correspondence'which has taken place 'between the Courts of London and Paris, in consequence of Mr. MAJEwnit's return to FranCe, We are strengthened by- some circumstances whiCh have reached us through a very respea, able medium. It is stated, that France ,. orters to exchange; en masse, the whole of the Prison ers .taken by her since the commencement of the War, from Great Britain' (including the British' Subjeas'sO unjustly detained in France and It a ly), . _ for those taken by us in the same period. . The French Government, it is also said, is willing to ac knowledge its haying aced irregularly in this deten tion, as a preliminary to the proposed exchange, and as a necessary concession fin- its obtainment, , That offers ,Of the nature we: have described should . occasion a. considerable patise in the mea sures of the present 'Administration, we can well conceive. On the one hand 'it appears, from the , latest returns, that the number of. French ,Pri soners, to that of the English, are in the proportion of five to three, always including the detained Eng lish SubjeCts': a balance in our favour certainly not to be slightly appreciated, or thrown away. Oii the other it must be remembered, that by acceding to this proposition, a number of individuals of every class-V society, who . have the strongest claims upon their Country; and who have languished for nearly three years, separated from their dearest connexions and interests, in a most unmerited imprisonment, would be restored .to their families and friends, and at libei-tr..to • renew theh' avocations - in their various walks of / life. 'Again, even among those who are Pioperly Prisoners of War, many of the prime of our British Seamen languish un der a . most rigorou§ confinement, and whose •release at this Moment would infuse a vast por tion' of strength and resource throughout our Naval Force. Before these considerations, perhaps, the dis proportion ofnumbers totally disappears : they have, however, had - Sit .fficient' . weight, Are repeat, to give considerable pause to the decisions of Government. Satisfied, however ; we are, that those decisions will be marked' by energy; feeling, and justice; for such we are convinced' are the characteristics of the pre sent-Administration. • . , We understand that His Grace . the Duke of Ikn- yoßp certainly departs' on Monday next, to take possession Of, ills Government in. Ireland. • Earl ST.

Mr. 'Min-Basal? -.stated from himself, that Mr. TROTTER's answers that day had been satisfaGiorY to himself and the • Committee, and he therefore moved the House to assent to the Prayer of the Pe. : tition. The House agreed to this Motion ; Mr. TROTTER was then called in, and, after a reprimand frot4 the SPEAKER, was discharged. The three Hanzburgh Mails still remain due. We wait with impatience for the next acconn4 from the Continent, which may probahly enable us to form some judgment as to the line of condua which Prussia is likely to adppt in the present efai ,t7a} state of Europe. . No intelligence has yet reached the Admiralty respeEting any of the French Squadrons which are at sea.

The public curiosity was so greztt, that all the avenues leading to the Palace were completely block., ecl up with spectators, in consequence of which an extra number of the Guards were called out to assist in regulating. The Ornccrs and Serjeants on duty attended at the gates to give direetions, and thy" greatest order was preserved till the company were going away, when many of the coachmen became ungovernable, and broke the regular order of taking up the company. One man was secured by the ..Marshalmen, and taken to Bow-street. The Dutchess of BEZPOTID took leave of Hey MAJESTY yesterday, previous co her departute fc Ireland. The - Puke of Bitnvoßn has made the most splen did preparations for the high Office he to assume in Ireland, and the Vice-Royal Court will most probably vie in magnificence with any eourt in . - Europe. On Wednesday-the young Countess of JERSEY came of age, and in consequence, her Noble Lord has come into the atStual possession of the immense CHILD fortune, both real and personal. The Dutchess of GORDON gave, yesterkky even. ing, ail elegant Ball and Supper, at her house ih St. James's-square, which was • attended by ;wady 400-persons of the first distinEtion and fashion. It would hire been very satisfactory if Mr .Wnsw, HAM had been able to have given Mr. Love 'a more precise answerin to the qutstion put to him by that Gentleman n the House of cOmmons on Wed nesday last, respeaing - , any intended -,-char:g3 i n our Military Estabitshmenr, and the, period when it would be brought forward, becaUse while any new measures are in contemplation, it is evi r dent the same exertions will not be made to. keep up the 'numbers under the old Establish ment. This observation applies particularly to the Volunteers, who are said to be diminishing.-- We arc aware of great difficulties upon this subjeet, and that it requires the fullest deliberation ; but we agree in thinkingthat it is one which should be deferred . no longer than is absolutely necessary for that investigation which the importance of it de mands ; and we know also that it has attraded the most serious attention of His Majesty's Ministers.. We understand that the Division in the House'of Commons on Monday night was most unexpe6tedhr called for by a Gentleman who had taken no part in the Debate—the Members who took the lead not considering the question as a party one, and not having intended that any division should take place upon it. An American Vessd, which Left the Mauritius in October last, and touched •at St. Helens on hel homeward passage, brought an account of AAMirai HA4TSINCK. having left .lava with bis Squadron, and proceeded through the Straits .of Bah; with the iri teptiori-of catering the nay ;if Bengal ;' but that his design *as fruStrate4 by 4 Mutiny breaking out on board several of the Ships, in consequent:v. of Which, he was compelled to Put back.
