LONDON,
SATURDAY, MAY 14.

In the House of Commons last night, Lord G.
(Tawr.a moved, that the House should not, as
usual, adjourn over this day, as it was possible
Ministers might be able to make their promised
communication, relative to the negotiation with
France; and it wa. important, tha► not a moment
should be lost to relieve the public mind, from the
anxiety which it feels upon the subjed. The Mo-
don was resisted by Ministers, upon the ground, that
no communication could be possibly received in

the course of this day, so as to enable them to
by it before the Home sooner than Monday. This
statement appears to be perfealy fair and candid.
Mr. SYL‘lsTalt, the Meseenger, reached Paris on
Monday last, at noon, but Lord WHITWORTH had
not left that capital on Wednesday morning. With
every advantage, therefore, of wind and weather,
he coull not be expeEted to arrive sooner than yes-
terday; and the wind being adverse, neither his
Lordship, nor a courier, dispatched so late as Wed-
nesday, could be expeaed to arrive until a late
hour this day or to-morrow morning. An arrival
this day is, however, within the reach of possibility ;
and from what fell from Lord flaw): esau v, should
such an event take place, and the intelligence received
be decisive, there is reason to suppose a communi-
cation will be made, without delay, to the LORD
MAYOR. The conversation of Ministers last night,

will be found, by our report, to have been more
cautious and indefinite than upon any similar occa-
sion. This may be the natural result of the disap-
pointments which have already taken place ; but we
should hope, that it has a 'foundation of a nature
more satisfadory to the public. The delay of Lord
%Vestryman' in Paris, so long after the arrival of
Mr. Svcvssria, certainly affords strong gr, ..nd to
hope, that the Film CONSUL. has yielded soratt:,ing
more.

No Messenger had arrived from Paris at two
•'clock this morning.

The Royal Family did not leave London yester-
day as expeEted. The delay is supposed to be occa-
sioned by his MAJESTY'S anxiety to hear the first
intelligence from France.
Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, her MAJEIF
TY, and the Princesses Auousra, EL IZA SETH, MA.
ay and ASILLIA, left the 's House, and took an
airing in two coaches, and honored Lady CH ARLO? TE
Finch with a morning visit at St. James's Palace,
where the Royal Party remained till about two
o'cloc k.
Yesterday morning at ten o'clock, his MAJESTY
and the Duke of Ct 14 REILAND, attended by Gene-
ralGw voile, rode from the Queen's-House through
St. James's-street, Rond-street, Oxford-street, the
New Road, Camden Town, Hampstead, Highgate.
and Islington. As his MAJESTY passed through
those places, he paid particular attention to the new
buildings and alterations that bave been made within
these few years in those neighbourhoods. His M -
JEST Y returned into London by Tottenham Quirt
Road, through Soho-square, Leicester-square, his
own Mews, by ( haring-Cross, and entered the
Park by the Horse Guards, where the Life Guar.ls
had but just timely notice to be assembled to elute
his MA.;LST Yas he passed. His MAJESTY stopped
..ome time on the parade, viewing the great gun,
laving never seen it. Ashis Mains. vpissed through
the streets, he was greeted by the populace with
LUZZIS, and calling out God save the Kir.g.
