London, January 18.
Gn Bonaparte's first entrance into his capital,
after the conclusion ofthe last Treaty with Aus
tria, the Hotel de Ville of Paris gave him a most
magnificent entertainment, at which all the vas
sal Kings and Queens were naturally invite'd.—
The following are some particulars of the singu
): r exhibition : A kind of amnliithcatre, accom
modating about three thousand persons, had been
prepared for tire good people of Paris, who were,
however, separated from the imperial and royal
guests by a strong party of guards. The tables
wore disposed in the form of a horse shoe, accor
ding to tbc ancient etiquette uf public court din
ners in France. At the head ofthe table sut
Bonaparte, alone in an arm chair, and vith hit hat
on, which he kept during the whole dinner. On
his right,'marshalled in due order, were the
Kings of his own making, on stools, and hare
headed; opposite them, in the same order, their
worthy consorts. At desert, however, Bonaparte,
in order to shew the Parisians that Ilia apparent
want of common manners arose i o!e)y from con
scioti9 superiority, and that he wan, notwithstand
ing, a true Frenchman in his polite attention to
the ladies, stood up, uncovered, with tolerable
grace, and went round, whispering some non
v sense to each of the aagiut females, 'i bis done,
• ic again put on bis hat, returned to his arm
chair, where he stretched and yawned, as if in a
tfte n tete, with Josephine, and remained musing
jn sdencc during the rest of the entertainment.

It is with great grief that we announce the

arrival at Berlin in Nov. ; lint the French pa
pers fixed liis death about the beginning of Dec.
1 hey mentioned it. in a way that excited appre
^ rentioriB which we did not chu.eto express?
tlicy mentioned it as they did the death oi Piche*

Berlin Dec 10.—Mr. Bathurst, lately the envoy
extraordinary from Great Britain to the emperor
of Austria, has just finished his career in « tr >gi
cal manner.—As soon ms lie arrived here, symp
toms of insanity were discovered in him. On
lus passing through Perleberg, these symptoms
assumed a more fatal character- And since his
•epai tore from this city, we hive heard tint: he
has put a period to his existence.”
_ •onjethiog lik- the same terms did the

en hearing of the Austrian defeat, and cut ins
throat. Thus perished that gallant Oflicr, thin

their own hands. ' * J
It appears by intelligence received, vs we un
derstand, in this country, that Mr. Bathurst, left
Rr»nn with passports from the Prussian govern
ment, and in excellent health both of mind and
nody—He was to proceed to Hamburg, to em

not accurately known. His pantaloons have been
found near the town where lie was seized, ami
a litter in them to his wife; but nothing else
The Prussian government upon receiving the
intelligence evinced the deepest regret, and otler
ed a large reward for the discovery of his bodv—
No success, however, has yet attended the offer.
Suspicion, will universally full upon the assassin
of capt. Wright. That his pantaloons have been
found, we impute to the wish to have it believed,
on the part of Bonaparte, that he iiad been carri
ed off by robbers. But why carry him off ?—
Robbers plunder, and sometimes murder—but
to carry «ff the body would only encumber and
expose them to detection. Besides, if he had
perished by the hands of robbers, how came the
French Government to announce that he had put
an end to his own life, an assertionwhich the Prus
sian Government contradict by offering a reward
‘or the discovery of his body--Had lie laid vio
lent hands upon himself, there would have been
no need to offer any reward. His body would
have'been found where the suicide was commit
ted. Whether he yet lives, we know not—it
may be that he may have been carried off to
raris, and there thrown into the Temple, to be
butchered as Pichegru and Toussaint and capt.
Wright were.

Jrcm the London Courier of January 2.
It is well known, that in addition to the
other serious charges which *cre brought
forward against this nobleman, for his con
duct in India, he was considered as having
done more than any of his predecessors in
annihilating the freedom of the press thro*
out that large portion of his majesty’s do
minions; in proof of which, we submit to our
readers tue following Asiatic edict of
his Lordship, for the regulation, or, more
correctly speaking, the annihilation of every
vestige of the liberty of the press-—An edict
which exhibits principles of the most des
potic kind, are totally inconsistent with the
British constitution, and which must excite
in the bosom of every Briton, the utmost in
dignation.

From the London " Globe," of December 25.
Vv e deeply lament the sinister and inauspici
ous commencement which has apparently taken
place in the negor.iations between this country,
“nu America ; situated ns we are relative to
trance, and precluded, as far as die force or en
mity of Bonaparte cun effect our exclusion from
every port of III*-continent, no#object could be
more truly desirable than any arrangement which
opened to us again a free and mutual intercourse
with the American States—Possessed only of the
imperfect information which lias hitherto reach
ed us, on the origin or causes of this unfortunate
dispute, which appears to Ifnve nipped in the bhd
■•tl! tha hopes formed of approximation and ac
commodation ; it might be premature and unj>ol
to attribute such a national disaster to the petu.
Jence, miution, reproaches of our t $ toy. ifci
do we fear, knowing personally, and for many
years, the individual whom our Ministers select
ed from the corps diplomatique, for this mission,
that the choice was not made with discernment,
or likely to be grateful to the A nierican govern
ment. In writing on so personal nod so delicate
a subject, we shall speak with tenderness and
caution.
Mr. Jackson is the son of the Reverend Doct.
Jackson, who, in order to distinguish him from
Dr Cyril Jackson, and others of the name, was
commonly called, some years ago, Consequential
Jackson, lie had been tutor to the hie duke of
Leeds, then marquis of Carmarthen, and who,
when lie became Secretary of Stute, in 1784, first
introduced the present Mr. Jackson into the line
of.foreignministers. 11c resided as envoy, for
several years, at Berlin, whore he married a Prus
sian lady of condition, and he remained at that
court down to the period of time in 18C5, irhen
a misunderstanding arose between us ami the
Prussian government,-, on the subject of Frede
rick William’s acceptance of Hanover from Bo
naparte. Sinoe -that rupture, Mr. Jackson has
been only once employed on any foreign negoti
ation ; andoa thajt occasion, be was, as is well
known, emincnttV unfortunate. Previous
the exhibition agtinst Copenhagen, Mr. Canning
sent him with a message or notification, to the
Prince Regent of /Oewinavk. We think that the
interview between the Prince and him took place
at Kiel, in Holstein 5 and he was commonly be
lieved to have delivered the sentiments of the
British government, to his royal highness, in so
disrespectful or dictatorial a manner, as to have
been desired immediately to quit the Danish ter
ritories. Sure we are, that such was the general
belief and impression, both in Germany and this
country. Whether the selection ol a^enilenmi
against whom such prepossessions, true or false,
were entertained, to scud to such a country as
America, was judicious, we will leave the pub
lic to decide. Every thing, conciliation, suavity,
anu amxnity of manners, were indispensible._
Mr. Jackson possesses capacity, experience and
tenacity : but his demeanor is not calculated to
attract or disarm. He is, on the contrary, firm,
unyielding, sometimes caustic and repulsive.
We trust, however, that the American negociati
011 may yet assume a favorable aspect.
London, Dec. 25.
Probable state of Parties on the oficninr of
Parliament.
So much has been lately said upon the
state of the cabinet,‘that it appears unne
cessary and impossible to add any thing far
ther. 1 he whole conduct and issue of go
vernment, or what is the same thing amongst
us, of administration, depend so entirely up.
on the relative strength of the different par.
ties in Parliament, that this subject cannot
be too clearly explained. It is not often
that our history presents the spectacles of
parties so equally balanced. For a long se
ries of years, the minority has been con
temptible, and the treasury has had little
difficulty to support itself on its. own feet.
1 his order of things is now changed-—Even
the treasury, as it were, that is to say, the
hitherto fast interest and connections of go
vernment, those which adhered to it in eve
ry change, and pointed to it under every
variation of the political wind ; tLis interest
and these connections are now <livided a.
gainst themselves. Lord Grenville is at the
feet of the king, and Lord Castlereagh has
resigned.
In the ensuing meeting of Parliament four
parties will not fail to show themselves, and
each of them, from the late events, will
possess a strength and influence, which did
not hitherto belong to them, and which no
thing could have given, but the distractions
of the cabinet and the indignant neutrality
of the people.
The party first in order, and in apparent
strength, is that of the ministry, headed by
j Marquis Wellesley, and marshalled and
> disciplined by Mr. Perceval and Lord Li
verpool. This party, for so it must be cal
led, will now present a new spectacle.—
From a very natural feeling, every prior
minister has been reluctant in obtruding on
the public eye lus own peculiar force, the
! household and treasury body. He has ac
1 cordiugly, generally contrived so to mix them
wivii auxiliaries, ana mercenaries, ana Im
own immediate personal dependents and
connections, that the grcwsncss and promi
nence of their characteristic distinction, has
been lost in the crowd : and though every one
knew that the greater part of his efficient
army consisted of these household treops, no
one could point tliem out'in groupes and bo
die3. Under Air. Perceval, the country will
now have a new spectacle. Since his sepa
ration from Mr. Canning, he has been de
serted by almost all except these retainers
of the treasury. He- is left entirely to the
household body guard. • In his very first di
vision, the strength of the court must be
seen, and for the first time, tor these hun
dred years, may be counted pure and un_
mixed in the body of the house. The Mar
quis Wellesley, indeed, by means of his re
cently acquired wealth and former Indian
pat.onage, may count about a dozen heads
which belong to hint) in the political pea, but
! With the single exception of the Marquis,
I there is not another man in the present mi
i nistry. of any considerable borough influence
|or personal Parliamentary connection. In
j saying this, wc speak only as to fact, and
without any intention of reproach nr detrac
tion towards such estimable characters as
we acknowledge Lord Ed on and Mr. Per
ceval, in every virtue of domestic life.
The second party-and which of itself
j will be nearly sufficient to overwhelm the
ministry, is that of lords Grey.and Grenville
The former of these noblemen is at the head
of that small remnant who remain attached
to certain principles which they consider
as having belonged to Mr. Fox. Their
number in the house of commons, may be
i about thirty-five—• Lord Grenville has U|
much more commanding party. The per
sonal dependents, we speak of borough mem
bers in the Temple family, are nearly e
■qual to the whole amount »>f the Fox party,
| ami when the interests of the Dukes of Dc
; vonshire, Marlborough, and, as it is said,
j of Northumberland, are added to the weight,
I It will be scarcely possible that the mere
J treasury influence and government parlia.
, tuanu.-y property can hold out against
■ them.
To this party is to be added a third, which
i will probably tall into it, and be amalgama..
I ted with it—Mr. Canning, without wealth,
| and without family connection, had formed
I a considerable part/ to himself, by there
putation, and merited reputation, of his a
bilicies—Like Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox, h<
was rapidjy forming a circle of friends a
round him, who attached themselves to hi in
and rendered him their head. This parti
may amount to about a dozer* or more, ant
'Till movt probably be added, in the pro
gress, if not in the commencement of theses
sion, to the opposition under Lords Grenville
and Grcjv '
A fourth party, and which will ship &
veer, and wait the event of things, is under
Lord Sidmuuth. This party will lie ncuti-nl
’till the others shall have tried their strengi h,
It will then veer with the fortune of the day.
Careful not to offend the court, and equally
careful not to lo?e the opportunity which e
vents may throw up, ihe Stihnonths will
present a curious spectacle. 1 ,ord Sid mouth
himself, (we speak politically,) is an honest
man, but every one must acknowledge, that
a more versatile, shifting set of men never
existed in the House of Commons, than
those who are known by the name of the
Sidmuuth party. For our own parts, we arc
most assuredly under no prejudice whatever,
either against or in favor of any set of men,
but so much we must say, that we pieler
decision and plain speaking, to purposed
indecision and iuconclusion, if we may so
use the word ; it exhausts both our strength
and our patience to.listen for Lours to such
speeches as were those of Mr. Bathurst, on
the enquiry into the conduct of the Duke of
lurk, where,after hours of wheeling and
curveting, going backwards and forwards,
carelnl only not to advance, and nut to ieave
any thing certain, he finished where he had
1 begun, and left the house in possession of
nothing but his speech.
Such are the parties which have to fight
lover the political battle on the Parliamen
tary arena. There M*ill ceftainly be a con_
lest of much bitterness, and the victory, on
which-ever side it may, will not be ot easy
[acquisition. Minister Perceval, backed by
the treasury only, has to stand against every
party in the House, for as to the Sidmouthi,
they must not be looked to, hill the event
be nearly decided. They will assist to scat
ter the fugitives, but will take kopart in the
battle.—/Jell's Messenger.
From the Edinburgh Tlevieev.
“The Parliament of England is about to
assemble once more ; and the authors of
our calamities cannot prevent their conduct
from being at least brought before thatillus..
trious tribunal. Hitherto they have "not
made any defence ; nor have they hinted
that they had any to make. They have ad
mitred all their failures to be complete and
fatal ; they have confessed, that the oppor
tunities which they have lost, will, in all
likelihood, never return. After a few
wretched attempts to divide th? blame among
themselves, in shares different from those
in which the country is disposed to apporti
on it, they have been compelled to allow, that
among themselves it must all be divided,
and upon them alohe must the responsibility
rest. They have not dared to deny, that
the prospects of the continent are become
there dismal than ever ; that its confidence
in Engtai d is gems ; that the map of Europe,
irom Moscow to Paris, and from Lapland to
Calabria, offers to the eye only a collection
of states, aggrandized by her hostility, or ru
ined by the perilous bounty of her alliance.
Abroad and at home, which way so-ever
the eye can turn, our rulers have amply
admitted, that our affairs are not only des
perate, but have come forward to declare,
that the empire is reduced to a state of dilli
-ulty, from which there can be, at least, no
precedent of its ev#r having escaped in for
mer times. And alter all these confessions,
their only excuse, the only attempt to make
to reguin the confidence of the people, is to
tell us, “ that the King has reigned fif
ty years.” They have ruined our allies ;
they have lailed in every plan ; they have
brought us through slaughter and disgrace,
loaded with ignomy, and weighed down with
almost intolerable Irurdcns—to the very
brink of destruction :—“ but the King is very
old,” and “he has reigned above iiaifa cen
tury.” .
now remains to be seen, whether that
i arliament, which stands in no need of re
tor motion-which is a fair representation
of th: people of England—which speaks the
sentiments of the country--will be satis
fied with this set ofF, and once more «c
quit the ministers of all blame for their
recent inisii anagement* Holding in com
ft'01"' with the Parliament itself, the doctrine
of its purity and of its sofliciericy to save
the state, we cannot, anticipate such a de
cision. .
“ t if, unhnppwy, v'e should find onr
selvesj mistaken ; it again, every measure
and every minister, be covered over with its
approbation, then we will venture to predict,
not that the government is acqu—ted, but
that tiie parliament stands condemned; fk
we shall ,be compelled to appear in the
foremost rank of those who must ac
knowledge that they are convinced and con
verted. For it is needless to disguise the
matter. A rctusal to punish the authors of
our misfortunes can only mean cue of two
things—either that there has beon no blame
incurred, or that it is inexpedient to declare
:t, because such a resolution would drive the
guilty persons from the government. In the
one case, the parliament will show that it
is not the representative of the country ; in
the other, we shall have a coi elusive proof
that the ministers of the crown aro trie
movable. The responsibility of our rulers,
that fairest feature in the theory of' tue con
stitution, will be no longer even a name,
wherewithal to round parliamentary peri
ods; and the profile will thence forward
recognise, in the. great council of the nation,
not the guardian of their interests, and the
champion of their rights, but a well contri
ved instrument of taxation.,
*' The consequence of such a decision
therefore, will be productive of incalculable
mischief; it will complete the alienation of
the country fr.im the government,& shame
away the boldest defenders of the present
system. In the mean time the pressure of
the war, 3c of the public burthens will rapid
ly increase. Fl>e scene of hostilities will ap
proach to our own shores,& the taxes, which,
liko the .war, have as yet only been fi;lt at
a distance, wt 1 at length come homo to eve
ry man. I his truth will then break upon
: the minds of nil, even of the most confiding
■ and inconsiderate, the truth with which wc
, opened the present discussion—that the;* is
an intimate a:id necessary connexion he..
! tween the foreign policy of the state, & tr«
happiness of each individual within its
boundaries; that every man who pays tax
es, every man who values the security of
his property, nr his own future safety from
foreign dominion, is immediately affected by
: the mismanagement ef the war; th;.t not a
j pl^n falls to the ground, not a bad nppoint
[ nient of Commander or r.n.bassadbr i*s made
■ at court, not an opportunity of beating the
i enemy in councils, or in arms, is lost, with -
out our being, n little sooner or Hide later,
individually sensible of it. What will then
j ramain for the people to do, wc need scat cet
| !y point out. It they, value their personal
hnppineSs and national ihdeper, ’epf o, thew
will watch with redoubled'jealousy, 8c' never
test satisfied until their eHarts shall have
restored the indi,potable connection between

British evidence-,on all occasions.
3- That if it be true, it proves the British,
cabinet to be just and honorable.
4. 11 Jackson is recalled, and no other ap.

evidence of his good behavior. ,
5. It believes the whole story a. fabricati

But to prove that ft cannot be true, a Lon
