The discussion was again interrupt
ed by another
LETTER from the KING.
" GENTLEMEN,
'' I have examined the observations
which the zeal and Solicitude of the
National Assembly have induced it
to address to me upon the conduft of
the Minister of the Marine. F Ihall
always receive with pleafare those
communications which it thinks ufe
fol to make.' The observations which
have been sent me from the Aflem
bly appear to me absolutely to come
within the number of those fubjeds
upon which it had declared itfelf in
competent to deliberate. I at that
time gave an account of those answers
which M. Bertrand had presented a
gainst these various complaints and
my judgment coincided with the As
sembly. Since that time no well
founded complaint has been made re
lative to the different departments of
his administration, and all communi
cations from the Colonies, from com
• mercial bodies, and from the Naval
Departments, present teilimonies of
his zeal and ufeful fervice<. In a
word, as he has been reproached with
no breach of the law, I should think
myfelf unjust were 1 to withdraw my
confidence from him. To conclude,
Ministers know well, that the only
way to obtain and preserve roycon
fidence, is to cause the laws to be ex
ecuted with energy and fidelity.

(Conterfgned) M.L.DUPOXT,
A long and animated bebate fol
lowed in which it was infilled, that
the Executive power had been abus
ed. Ministers, it was asserted, had
been guilty of treason, and ought to
pay the forfeit with their heads.
The Assembly at lalt decreed,
ift. That the Minivers, M. de
Montmorin and M. Duportal, his
successor to the present day, who have
resigned; Ihall not leave the capital
without giving in their accounts.
zd. That there was cause of im
peachment against M de Leffart ;
that seals should be put upon his ef
fe&s, and that his person Should be
arretted.
,' M. de Leffart had Set cut, under a
guard of the Gens d'Armerie, to
Orleans to take his trial before the
High Cou^t appointed for the trial of
state prisoners.
A letter from Strasbourg announc

A letter, from the Accufateur Pub

24 pounders,and a number of mortars.

RARIS, MARCH B—7 o'clock, P. M.
«' I open this letter to insert the
following paragraph, which comes
from the best authority, and arrived
here two hours since by express to the
Prime Minister.
" The Court of Spain has given
orders for arming by sea and land to
the extent of their armament during
the last dispute with England. Cou
riours were lent off immediately,,upon
the receit of the last dispatches from
Paris and Vienna, to every seaport
and commander in chief throughout
the kingdom, and a Spaniffi nianifef-'
to is expefted b, the 25th, at Paris."
The King has given the red riband
to M. de la Fayette, M. Maillardot,
and M. d'Erneft.
March 17 —at night.
On Saturday night, at II o'clock,
LordGaENviule received adifpatch
from his Majesty's Minister at Vienna,
acquainting him with the Sudden death
of the Emperour of Germany.
His illness was of thirty-fix hours
duration. He swelled to an enormous
degree, and the malady bid defiance
to all medical aid. His bbwels lite
rally burst.
, LONDON, MARCH 12.
After the Royal assent was given,
yesterday, to certain bills, and his
majesty was returning to the robing
chamber, his foot flipped going down
one cf the steps bom the throne,
which of course, displaced the crown
— and had not his Majesty, with great
presence of mind put his left hand
immediately to receive it, the Crown
mult have fallen to the ground.
DEATH of the EMPEROUR of GER-
He was born on the ,h of May,
1747, and by his Empress Maria
Louisa, Infanta of Spain,who was born
May 24, 1745, had 11 children.
The late Emperour is succeeded in
the titles and estates as King of Hun
gary and Bohemia, by his eldest son
the Archduke Francis.
This unexpeded event undoubtedly
arrests for a time,if it does not totally
demolish the plan of the Royal con
cert. Leopald did not succeed in his
attempt to procure his eldest son to be
elected King of the Romans ; and con
fequcntly, by the laws of the Empire,
a considerable time will elapse before
there is a new Emperour. All this de
lay is favorable to France, as the sea
son for action will pass over, and e
ven the Courts may tire in furnifhing
the Emigrants with Applies to be waft
td in idleness.
RESOLUTION in the CABINET
Letters from Vienna, of the gth of
March, mention that the new King of
Hungary has given a ders to all the
regiments that were marching to flop
proceeding, and he has at the fame
time declared, that he would have no
concern in the disturbances of France,
in which the Emperour only interpo
sed as Chief of the Empire.
m^rch 19. Yesterday Ministers
received an express from Lord St. Hel
len's at Madrid, informing them that
on the 27th ultimo, the Prime Minis
ters, Monsieur Florida Blanca,was ar
rested by order of the King, a seal was
put on all his papers, and he was af
terwards exiled. M. D'Aranda, who
was heretofore Ambaffadour at the
Courts of France,is appointed Minis
ter in the room of Florida Blanca,
It is certain, that in order to enable
the King of Sweden to fit out his fleet,
the^mprefs has a&uall, paid him four
years subsidy in advance,being the fam
of 600,000 florins.
This change in the Spanish Coun
cils has no relation to exterior poli
ticks. Certain intrigues in the Court,
in which Monsieur Florida Blanca aft
ed as the Calonne of Spain, was un
seasonably discovered, and his over
throw is complete.
What political system M. D'Aranda
may favour, we know not. It is high
ly probable, however, that the questi
on now at issue between the courts of
London and Madrid must be begun
again de novo.
CAPTURE of SERZNGAPATAM.

MANY.
A very large body oflmp^rial troops
is now on its march towards theßhine
though a part of this force mutt be
directed to the preservation of theEm
perour's authority in Brabant, where
it has of late been held in flight esti
mation. The army which the King
of Pruflia is to march, will be com
manded by the Duke of Brunswick.
M. de Gardoqui. who Succeeds M.
de Lerena,. as Minister of Finance at
the Court of Madrid,has appropriated
to the use of the poor his (hare of Sei
zures and confiscations,amounting,on
an average to 100,000 fortes piaftres
a year.
On Tuejday last, a very melan
choly accident occurred in Coven
try, at the Pot afo works owned
by Mr. Standley, of that town.
The building had, by accidental
means, taken fre in the roof; a
Mr. Voris who was employed in
the Pota, j, afeended to extinguish
it •,but while in the execution of
his deftgn, one of the rafters,
which supported him, being much
burnt, gave way, and be being
direHly over one of the ketteles,
was immediately immersed iff the
boiling element which was contain
ed in it ; ke was extricated as
soon as p/ffible, but was fofc aided,
as to survive only a few hours.—
/ number of people having collect
ed, the fire was soon extinguished
in the building.
The Congressional Committee of
Inquiry thereon, reported on the close
of the late feßion—This long desired
report the editor has received —it is
minute and lengthy, and shall appear
as early at the pressure of other mat
ters will permit—One hundred copies
of it were ordered to be printed—and
the House agreed to take up the fame
early in the next session The com
mittee confided of Messrs. Giles,
Steele, Mercer, Clarke, Findley, and
Vining—of whom four were, when
chosen, considered as diffatisfied with
the condud of the expedition. The
report, however, thus concludes : —
From the foregoing fate offa9sthe com
mittee Juggeft the following as the
principal causes, in their opinion, of
the failure of the late expedition, un
der the Major- General St. Clair.
66 The delay in furnishing the
materials and estimates for, and the
passing the aft for the prote&ion of
the frontiers, the time after the pass
ing of which was hardly fu fficient to
complet and discipline an army for
such an expedtion, during the summer
months of the fame year.
" The delays consequent upon the
gross and various mismanagements
and negle&s in the quarter maker's
and contrador's departments; the
lateness of the season at which the ex
pedition was undertaken, the green
forage having been previously destroy
ed by the froft, so that a Efficiency
of subsistence for the horses necessary
for the army could not be procured.
“ The want of discipline and ex
perience in the troops.
" The committee conceive it but
justice to the Commander in Chief to
lay, that in their opinion, the failure
of the late expedition can in no re
fpea be imputed to his condud either
at any time before or during the ac
tion ; but that as his condu& in all
the prepare ory arrangements was
marked with peculiar ability and zeal,
so his conduct during the a&ion fur
nifhed strong tedimbnies of his cool
ness and intrepidity."
