in his prolfetsioltai experience he could-mot bat give
a preference to some provisions in the I.tinacy Laws
of Ireland over those of England. Ile paid the
highest compliment to the integrity, talents, and
patriotism of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland (laird.
R....desdale), in whose appointment hit Majesty
had given an additional proof of his paternal care
and tauiepsess lOr his people. As that Nobleman
was at present in this country, there would be
good opportunity of consulting him upon this BTU;
and if The Nohle Lord approved of it for Ireland,
he should mile no further opposition to the nie,t•

Mr. N. V.‘NSITTART assured the Hon.

for there was no other ostensible cause, and
still continue to rise. They left off yesterday at
671.—1 f the Minister saw that such was the im-
portant consequence that followed his declaration,
and if he had reason .to fear that the construEtion

put upon his words was stronger than they
would warrant, he must naturally feel it a caw
of deep - responsibility. He has been loudly
censured by his adversaries for the impulse given
to the Funds by his flattering financial statement in
December last. What would not the same persons
say now were he to positively promise a sad:.
fadory com:nunication, and were the Funds to fall
upon that communication proving unsatisfactory ?
It would be said, that he ytood by a silent speda-
tor, while the public were giving to. him words
which he never used, and were throwing away
tlwir property in -specuLttions upon a false report.
n'e do believe that it. was from this principle of
delicacy and caution that Mr. Atmoauroa war SO
atpaous last night to guard against misrepresenta-
tion, however slight in the pre,cnt case. Had any
Messenger arrived in the course of the day, or
had the weather not I-wen unfavourable enough to sc.
count tcr the delay of the Messenger expeded, Mr.
Aontsor ots's anxiety- might have been imputed to
a different motive ; but in the present state of
things, we car. only consider it a!: a wish to restrain
an over-sanguine temper of the public mind. He
certainly could not know on Tuesday, the nature of
his promised communication ; but he could, and
probably did know, that he had brought the ne-
gociation to an issue, and hoped that the answer
would be decisive of peace, fur until matters were
brought to a conclusion, nobody could have ex-
peded any communication. The Funds may
probably feel ,a depression in ::•consequence of
what fell from Mr. "Aeorits:Gron_Last night; yet

looking at the nature of the case, and the,extreme
caution of the man ,who kept Parliament 'siting
while there 'WM & symptom of =duis the squa-
dron of our fleet at Bantry Bay, we do not think the

may faily presume, that since the brealting out of

United States. These Papers also contain intelli-
gence of a recent date, from which it appears, that
the English continue undisturbed by. the Spaniards
in the Bay of Honduras. Part of the French forces
are said to have arrived in Louisiana.
By papers and letters of the 9th, brought by the
Hambargh Mailers hick arrived .late' on Wednesday
night, we find.that the French troops are pouring
to Hollaad: ansountHit prqent is estimated
at between t? 0 wad 30,0(X) men. The Dutch, who
knoiv, from woefullexperience, the expence of feed-
ing, clothing, and paying French soldiers, do mot
much like their new visitors. That commercial
country does 'nor • like to see itself converted into w
:French camp. It bits accordingly, in several places,
shewn a disposition to resin the entrance cf the
French troops, and that its: weakness, not its will,
