scarcity of money induces the subscriber to let
him cover mares this season at 20 dollars to be
discharged by the payment of 15 dollars if paid
within the season, which will expire on the 10th

each mare. Good and extensive pastun&e will

The Senatus Consultum for uniting
Rome to France has been published.
The city of Rome is to be second in
rank in the Empire. The Hereditary
Imperial Prince (the eldest son of Na
poleon, we suppose) is .o bear the ti
tle of King of Koine. The Popes are
required to swear to attempt nothing
against the provisions for the inde
pendence of the GaUican Church. A
landed revenue of two millions ol
francs, with palaces at Rome and Pa
ris allotted to the Popes. A Prince
of the Blood, or a Grand Dignitary
of the empire, is to keep an Imperial
Court at Rome. The expenses of the
College of the Cardmals and the pro
paganda are to be defrayed by the
Government. Thus will the Pope and
the College Cardinals be placed in a
state of the most abject dependence
upon the Tyrant of the Continent, and
the common enemy of all the indepen
dent states. Let the Catholics of Ire
land well consider this circumstance ;
and having done so, they cannot, wt
think, any longer hesitate in regard to
the necessity of conceding the Veto in
the election of their liLhops.

# ^
The report which we mentioned a
few days'since, of an increasing cool
ness between Russia and France, de
rives some sanction from an article in
the last Paris papers. It was said
that the Russian troops had crossed
the Niemen, and that every effort was
making to terminate the war with Tur
key. Intelligence to this effect was
actually published in the Leyden Ga
zette, and is noticed in the Paris pa*
pers, in an article purporting to come
from Dresden. The Paris papers,
contradict it; but the same report still
prevails, and has been received in let
ters from Heligoland of the 21st ult.
which ttate that v ar l ad actually
been dettrmined upon by the court of
Petersburg, and that a packet had sail
ed with dispatches for the British go
vernment announcing the important
event. Reports of this nature should
however be received with extreme
caution, and we deem it necessary to
state, that our government have re
ceived no advico whatever upon the
subject.
March 8.
Ministers cling to their offices in a
manner wholly unprecedented in the
history of the country. Lord Sidmotith
resigned when he had a majority of at
it as. thirty, because he thought, that
when the opinion cf Parliament \vn*
net decidedly in his favour, he could
no longer continue to conduct the nf
• iirs of the country with effect. x>\y.
Perceval, on the contrary, has, inde
pendently of incidental points, been in
a minority on at least five ques
tions. Lord Chathrm,wh*s«*conduit
has been pronounced by the House <f
Commons to have been of a trndencv
injuriouH to his majesty’s service, and
to the principles ot the constitutor,
still continues to be a member of the
cabinet.
Can it be supposed, that the conduct
of lord Chatham, in carry ing on such
communications with his sovereign,
[and which were withheld, by desire,
from his colleagues, was acceptable to
the other ministers. thev not
have felt that their own influence, and
their own measures, might be supplan
ted or thwarted by such priv. te in
trigues, and yet they continue to a t
with this dangerous and degraded col
league. Such conduct can only be ac
counted for by believing that the se„
cret adviser has more influence than
all the other members of the cabinet,
and that unless they retain him, thev
cannot retain their places. It becomes
then the duty of Parliament and of the
country, to consider how far they
think that our affairs can be well ma
naged, or the constitution can he sun
-1 1__ 1 • • . . . r

lost the confidence of the House of
Commons, we can never be certain cf
carrying any of the measures which
they consider as the mo t essential to
the prosperity ol tr.e empire, and who,
hy retaining lord Chatham, subject
themselves to the censure which ha%
been pronounced upon him.
The very able financial statement of \
•Mr Heskisson has made a deep im
pression on the pu >li , it has convin
ced them that cur greatest danger a
rises Irom lavish expediiure, and from
want of a general contr ul over the
different departments of the govern
ment, who are all struggling for an in
creased share o* the annual suppli s.
It will be remembered too, time Mr
Percival, on various occasions, and in
particular, with regard to the Staff,
has declared that he adopted the ra~'
commendation of the Commander iii
Chief, without exercising his »wn
judgment as to the necessity of conti
nuing so large a Staff , Thus the Mi
nister, whose especial duty it is t'* con
troul the expenditure of the different
departments, has become a mere agent
for the purpose of obtaining from Par
liament the means to enable the dif
ferent departments to continue unne
cessary expenses, and to support un
necessary and injurious patronage.
Surely, neither Parliament nor me
country can longer continue in a sys
tem so dangerous to the safety of the
state, it is unconstitutional uiid degra.
ding.

.'of the sentiments of Parliament .md
’of the People, will he speedily, hut

Some distant fighting had taken place,
but attended with no important conse
quences ;it was apprehended that ther •
would not be that perfect harmony be
tween the Portuguese and Spanish
troops in Cadiz which ms so desira

when tne common safety requitxt
