On the 4th instant it was generally believed at
Paris that the execntion of the pretended conspi.
rigors would take place, in the same clandestine
manner as the murders of Pichegru Ind of the Duke
of Engbien. Rumours were even circulated on that
day, that some of them had been found dead in their
dungeons, and were said to have committed suicides.
Though already brought to trial, no person was per-
mitted' to visit them. Madame Polignac, who had
several times ss•mandeJ and attempted to speak
with her husband, was, on the ^J, ordered, under
pain of transportation, to de.st in her pursuits,
and leave her husband to his fate. Madame Mo.
reas has spoken three tim, to tier husband, bat in
the presence of the Police Commissary of the Tem-
ple, and of the g.ns d'erves, two of whom guard
each prisoner in his dungeon night and day. Se.
veral houses round the Temple have been shut up,
and their inhabitants imprisoned; Bonaparte, being
informed by his spies, that some signals had been
made from their roofs to the prisoners in the Tern.

an hour to breathe fresh air in the Temple garden.
Even Bon.iparte's ;.[•lice agents are forced to admire
the loyalty and firmness of Carrain Wright, who
has resisted alike their bribes and threats. It is se'd
at Paris, that the Grand Judge, 4fter in vain ,--ffer.

THE BRITISH PR SS.

LONDON,
MONDAY. Just:lB.

The Prince of Wales and dualand packets ar-
rived at Harwich on Saturday night with the Hu-
sum mails and serer:.l passengers of distinftion ; in-
cluding Mr. MIA Kt, late Minister at Munich, and
family, Sir FRAMCIS DRAILII, Countess of Bsese-
r, &c. The mails are of the sth and Sth instant,
and were received yesterday. The public prints. as
well as privatti letters, mention military prepara-
tions in Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Denmark,
and that a French cordon of /0(4000 men is form-
ing on the Left Bank of the Rhine. These measures
are, however, merely spoken of as pleature camps,
or defensive attitudes ; but it has been generaliy ob-
served, that whea great powers hare differences to
settle, with arms in their hands, they seldom fail to
come to blows. In Russia, in Turkey, and even
in Prussia, the French interest is upon the decline;
while it gains ground in Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
The King of NAP I. KS has been forced to dismiss
his faithful Minister D'Acron, and to appoint in
his place, Chevalier Micnsious, a person more
agreeable to France. The tyrannical persecution
by BONA? aIT I, of British subje:ls upon the con-
tinent, is now extended to all British travellers in
Italy, even in the neutral states of Tuscany. and the
Papal dominions. An ankle from Paris says, that
the invasion of this country will be undertaken be-
fore the 14th of July; that every thing is now ready
for the curing of England ; and that the French
troops are only waiting for a calm of thirty-sir
hours to put their threats into, execution. The
ReISIAN ES. PlitOß has left his capital for Revel;
but has, probably. returned before this time. The
King of Pte. si A arrived oa :he Sao instant at Berlin.

Great preparations have been made for the es-
petted contest this evening in the House of Com-
mons. The friends of the Minister speculate v ith
confidence upin a majority of 50, while the Coali-
tion reckon upon an accession of strength to the
anioust of 3o,'and expeet to divide from 41 I to 220.
Every friend to his country must lament this divisi-
on of its political spirit and opinion at such a critical
moment, and %el', of course, rejoice at the prospet
held out ni its speedy termination. But the diminu-
nitiun of the strength of Government, by distratling
its attention, is not, we presume, the most seii!ius
ev3 arising out of the present order of things. Its
effea upon the public mind is, perhaps, a still grew r
mis:hief. So much is the attention occupied with the
immediate contlia of the respes9ive parties, v. 4h:wit-
nessing their mutual wounds, and watching all the
vicissitudes of the fight, that the public, hitherto of


no pasty, but breathing one common spirit, is its
danger of being divided and enlisted under the ban-
ners of the contending Chiefs. The public cannot
be too much upon their gttini agairnt this feeling,
into which, contrary to their interest, their wish s,
and their intentions, they may possibly be betreye.:
Let it never be forgotten, that this is not a questiea
whether Mr. Pier cr Mr. Fox shall be Mie;sier
The objets of the Coalition, which turned out Mi.
ADDINGTON, was to obtain an Administration
which shcruld embrace all the talent and confidence
of the country. Mr. Pier blasted that hope at the
moment it was regarded as realised. If he found,
as his friends give out, an insuperable objection to
it in a certain quarter, he should have stated it can-
didly to the Coalition, and given up the pursuit.--
But, by substituting himself for Mr. Ant:net:roe,
he has defeated the wishes of the country, disap-
pointed, some say betrayed, the Coalition, and left
things precisely in the state of which he complained.
He hes given us en Administration upon a narrow
basis, that does not embrace the talents and
confidence of the people. This is the real
state of the question, irons which we here
the public will never suffer their attention to be di.
vetted, and fixed upon collateral or minor objets. If
Mr. PITT were to resign to-morrow, and Mr. Fes
to be substituted in his place, upon the *erne prin-
ciples of the present Administration, the °hied of
the Coalition and the wishes of the country would
be as much defeated and disappointed as they are
at this moment. The country wants and wishes f r
an Administration, not of this party nor that eaity,
not of Mr. PITT to the exclusion of Mr. Fox, nor vice
versa ; but of Mr. PITT and Mr. Fox conjointly, with
the other leading men of all parties, distinguished
by their talents, their integrity, and their influence.
This is the principle, that has influenced, and will
continue to influence, our sentiments and observa-
tions upon this important suhjeel. Mr. PITT has
proved himself unable us rally around him the is
lents, property, and influence, of the country. By
his own confession, his Administration is not, there-
fore, of that organisation which the country demands.
It is ridiculous to suppose that the Gaemvi tees, the
&C. merely wish to turn out Mr. PIT
to put Mr. Fox in his place. No, they w:sh to
obtain an Administration upon their original plans
which Mr. Per r defeated. If Mr. Fez were to
come into power upon a principle of exclusion and
proscription, and to attempt, as Mr. Pier has done,
to make a new Ministry out of the shreds and
patches of the old, he would not stand for• six days.

Saturday, about two o'clock, Their Mamma
and the PRINCESSLS, in a post chariot and two
coaches and four, removed from the (2vExpes House
to Kew.

On the arrival of the Royal Family at Kew, they
were saluted by the Volunteers and Staffordshire
Mili:i r. Mr. LoveLL. of the Coach and Horses, on
Kew Green, discharged 21 pieces of cannon from
the top of his lioue, to welcome the Royal
'Pie this!, of the church was displaye '. In the
eveni, It, the Royal Family walked in the gardens.
le. T.:lay morning, the Royal Family attended
di6tie s:rvic , and in the evening, walked in t:
gaidens.
Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, the P. ince
of W•Lcs arrived in town from Bibury.

A Court of Common Council will he held to-
morrow at Guildhall, to take into consideration a
motion, that the thanks of the Court be given to the
Right Hun. HENRY ADDINGTOV, late Chancellor
of the Exchequer, for his patriotism, public spirit,
and zealous and unwearied exert;ons in the public ser-
vice, and his steady attachment to the principles of
the constitution and the liberties of the people; and
to consider a motion for settling the salary of the
Recorder of this city, and on other business.

On Monday last, we prepared the public mind
for a new /wit: of an evening print, dlitiagnished
for its scurrilous absise of Mr. Fox. The following
extract. from its last number, stews our speculatica
was tolerably corre& " However, it appears that
the two parties are nearly balanced, and unless the
kiwi thoroughly recovers, which we do not think
will be the case, the Coalition is likely to succeed.
If Mr. P/TT sinks under his present difficulties; his
eharadet and influence are gone for ever."

TO THE ROSE.

Expand thy glowing colours 11,10011,
Slushing Queen oligopoly Flora,

Di:foie around thy fragrant bloom.
Yet conceal such beauties from me,
Such beauties that act quickly Sy ;
One NI zephyis do blow on thee,
ft.t then the next you droop, and die,

Augusta's charms how gild the sight,
Youth, grace, soil love, around her play ;
Fonlest joys now give delight,
Still all, like thee, will fade away'

Hither bring those perfuni'il odours,
Holsinger in thy mansion rest ;
S.dreed,sivett Rose, those envied colours
O'er the fair one's snowy breast.

Her fond boon will adorn thee,
Her tear. will make you bloom again;
The sigh 42e breathes wi I kindly warm thee,
Whilst I in secret sigh in llMitt.

But whoa tit* urchin shall reveal,
On which sift pillow you're to rest ;
Beware th• shade does not conceal
One witching charm from either breast.

Should some rude hand molest her Aunt,
And pluck thee frees so sweet abed i
Convince the wretch a rival's tlAwn
Lurk bene.th thy injued heed.

PRIVATE CORI

DUBLIN, Jess 14. •
Last night, by order of the Commander of the
Forces, all the troops in the garrison were sud-
denly assembled at their respedlive alarm posts
(between the hours of twelve and one o'clock),
witty all the appointments necessary for troops
taking the field, km:atm:As, canteens, haversacks.
Etc. and even camp equipage, and entrenching; tools.
They remained there until about two o clock,
when they marched, with a large park of artillery,
taking the northern road. The whole was conduct-
ed with so much secrecy, that not even the officers of
the several regiments knew where they were going,
or what enemy they might exped to meet.
During their absence, various conjedures were
made as to their destination, or the cause of so -sud-
den a march : many supposed that the French h
effeded a landing, bnt the general opinion was,
that Lord Cathcart only wished to keep the troor.s
on the alert, and to Tye them some idea of
what they may have to do when, they least expel; it;
and this was realised by the return of the troops at
three o'clock in the afternoon, when it appeared
that they had gone along the North Road, to the
extent of 10 or It miles, scouring the country coast-
ways, &c. and going through vari ats m..nteuvres
necessary in case the enemy had a.hsally landed, or
made their appearance on the coast. They castle
into town much fatigued, aid so covered with Just
that they made a most curious appearance. Their
clothes and caps were almost white, but their faces
were as black and dirty as possible.
The troops assembled, and marched with so mach
silence, that few of the Citizens knew any thing of
the transadion until this morning, when there was
not a soldier to be seen in the streets, as there was
only a very small detachment from each regiment
left to protest the necessary posts, the barracks,
castle, magazine, &c.
Lord Cathcart has been much admired for his
great.adivity as well upon this as on every other
occasion since his appointment here. His Lordship
intends immediately to make a tour and inspeil the
coasts of Ireland, particularly those of Donegal and
other western counties, in order that such means
may be carried into died, as may appear most use-
ful for their defence.

Another check has been given to our circulating
medium : dollars, which were current for some omit
past at ss. llid. each, would not be taken in pay-
ment on Saturday for more than ss. lid. It is said
to be owing to a juggle between some shopkeepers
and silversmiths, as the latter have issued silver
tokens for shillings (which I mentioned to you in a
former letter), and as they can make seven or eight
of them out of a dollar, they want to purchase
them to prevent their circulation. There is an
inattention in our government in not either is ling a
silver coinage, or by a proclamation affising .1 value
to foreign coin, but we are left floatin; in • incer-
minty what we shall do. I have known ladics to
pay their chairmen by order for bread on their
bakers.

This morning, the following corps of Volunteers,
belonging to the Eastern Division, beyond the walls
of London, and comprising about 5000 men, viz.
—The Whitechapels Lieut. COL HARDY; the Mile
End, Lieut. Col. Tito r esort ; the St. George's in

Middlesex, Major S sten Ems; the Shoreditch, Major
M• ISHA LL ; the Bethnal Green, Maj. C A lite ; and •
the;Ratcliff, Major Bonc sort- ;—will assemble in
their respedive drill-grounds, from whence they
will march to the water-side, to different stairs, to
embark in boats, provided on the occasion, by
Commodore Lucas, of the River Fencibles, and
then proceed to Westminster-bridge, and ftom
thence march through St. James's Park to Hy#
Park, to be reviewed by the Duke of Yogis.
One day last week the Afficaine frigate fell in with
several fishing vessels off Helvoetsluys, which she
supposed to be ail Dutch. Ou beating up for the
purpose of examining them, some of them attempted
to run ashore. The crew of one of the vessels,
finding the impossibility of effeaing their purpose in
'time, all left her except the Master, and made their
escape on the Dutch coast by means of a small boat
which they had alongside. When the Afrirause took
possession of this vessel, the Captain was surprised
to find het an English fishing•vessel tram Fever.

of the Englishmen quitting her, induced him to mate
the Master a prisoner, and to send the twelve Dutch
ishing•vessels, which he took in company, to Yar-
mouth. The Master of the Feversham vessel was,
the first opportunity, sent to the flag-:hip at the
Wore, where he remained till Thursday, when he
was attended to the Secretary of State's Office, and
on Friday underwent an examination.
It is said that when Justice Fox went to the Cud*

against him in Parliament; the Loan Li tor sr: ant
did not admit him to an audience, but sent hint
