I.ON '(l\,
WEDNFSDAY. Srt.v 17.

No account of or from Lend Necson was receiv.
ed when this Paper was put to press.

The rep•vt of Oe approaching dissolution of Par-
liament, wnich we lately mentioned, gains ground.
Sw^ral Members have already begun to put on all
their smiles, to refresh their memories, and End./ to
make themselves amiable in the eyes of their Consti-
tuents. Whether they an union the general aspen
of aTkirs, ar upirs an officisl hint to that Jen,
we do not pre Lead to knaw. We only say
that the report was c;rculated list night in
the enldical circles with increased confidence.—
Should the rumour prove well founded. there will
he an end of the Aottleovost Party. Ministerial
influence made tl.em, and Minisvrial influence will
take them away. They have not been planted long
enough to have struck J ep root into the soil, and
acquired strength to resist the storm. New Mem-
bers, more friendly to the Minister, will succeed
to the B iroug'is now occupied by the Friends
of Lord V;SCCUTIC SIDWOUTH. In the ewe of
Lord Vi.count Met.vict e, the ADDI'OTON Par-
ty certainly 4, did the state some service ;' but it
may. be a question, sel:ether a party a -ting upon
their system, at one time with the Minister, at ano-
ther time with the Opposition, the occasional enemy
of both, and tb'• decided fiiead of neither, may not
do more harm thin good by the unceit linty and
embarrassment which it must produce in the ma•
nagement of public affairs. If it were only by the
dissipation of this neutral force, the Minister would
find himself cinch stronger in a new Parliament.
All, however. that can be con.i dered certain is, that
without some change, whether it be efFened by a
dissolution. or the acquisition of new f, lends, he
cannot encounter another session with confidence in
his strength. or any degree of satisfanion in his
plate.

A Continental Confederacy against. France k now
- .
eousidered more probable than it has been regarded
for some months past. This feeling is not, however,
the result of a supposed charge cf policy in :any of
the Continental Powers, but arises from the altivity
of diplomatic currebpundenee by the several Powers
of Europe upo t the subjed of the war b' mien
England and Festive. The faster this communiea•

tion is pushed forward, the sooner it must come to
an end, and the mo:t sanguine do not expel that
the issue will be peace. The consequence to
England must, hawever, prove of great Advantage.
Mr. Fox recommended a Continental Congress, if
it were dilly for the purpose of chewing the fairness
of our views in the prosecution of the ear, by the
moderation and fairness of the terms upon which
we were willing to put an cod to it This he thought
would do England incalculable service, by removing
the prjudice which the artifice of the enemy may
have been able to ex,:ite against her, and give
strength and stability to a Confed-racy for the pur-
pose of restraining the ambition of France ; thus dis-
tinctly avawed by the refusal of fair and reasonable
conditions. Much of this good, we hope, will be de-
rived frenn the no,ssion rf M. NovosiLTZoFr to Ber-
lin. It is generally understir,J, that he g.:es as a n,e-
diatur lartweeu the Belii;tereist Powers, and that the
Emp. r.‘e • .1 Rossi A approves the terms tnsou which
-ng'...ul is willing to stegociae. If M. Novo:n.l-

zakr 'should tint succeed in his undertaking, alk the I
finesse and management of France will not be able
to delude the continental powers, by inspiring then)
with distrust and jealousy of England. The re ti
disturber of Europe will then nand revealed in
broad daylight before the:n, and a continental con-
federacy may be organised, so as to comnicnce
Military opriations with vigour and circa against
France in the ensuing spring. If any persons
that the continent l states are alrea:ly convinced of
the fair and lionoOrahle irieWs of 1*.n!!):Ind, at. I there-
fore require no fartheit information, they deceive
themselves. The intelligent Test niay, iddeed, see
the real met its of our policy; but they over-rate the
understanding of the bulk of mankind very much,
and undervalue French address in perhaps an equal
degree, who, with two modern cases of a Northern
Confederacy against England before their eyes,
flatter ilemselves that there is not a great deal
of prejudice and passiOn still to be removed from
the breasts of the Continental States.

In con‘equence of the evasions of justice which
have lately occurred from the corruption of Prose.
entors, and particularly in instances of Prosecu-

that. in future, all forged instruments shall be de-
posited with the Magistrate, before whom the pre.
vious examination takes place.
