We remained an the banks of the Gleeful'

large, wailed, and posse*sed of a citadel. The Go-
vernor, who is a Suddoo Zye, (the name of
the King of atbool's tribe), exchanged visits
with us; but as he did not seem to relii.h eifr being

PARIS, SEPT. 13.
All the asps of the Austrian arsny have rece:ved
orders, from the heed-quarters at Contort), to en-
camp. The Emperor of Austria, it is said, proposes
to review them all successively.
We learn from Antwerp, of the date of the 10111,
that the Ecglish hare likewise abandoned the Isle
of Sckoveen, whirl, is one of those of Zealand.—
Reports vary much with respect to their intentions
Motive to Flushing. According to some, they
propose to chock up the basin, mild destroy the
public establishments; according to others, •n the
contrary, they are fortifying' the city, with a design
to maintain themselves there.

Soine accounts state, that from the dispositions
maltion by the enemy, there is reason to believe
that he intends even to evacuate the isle of Wel-
ammo. The wunt of water, sickness, and the
enormous expense which the presereptiou of
.thei
ephemeral conquest would requirm toupees to ciiie
produced this determination. The number etEn-
glish soldiers who are sick, is estimated at mime
than the •ne-half. The Admiral, it M understood,
would have held fires ; but Lord-Chatham seeing
hie soldiers dying around him, and himself is dan-
ger, preferred returning to London.

COPENHACIEN, SEPT. 16.

As, according to a report ieceivad by
from General Virogh, who commands in the north-
ern districts of Norway, the English have conquer-
ed and occupied the island of Icalmid, public
notice thereof is hereby given, in order that Dan-
i.hipti may he prevented from putting into any

The Datii.h isle. of Iceland is reported to be
occupied by a British force.

We this day resume our extracts from the Ger-
man Papers to the 23d last. One of tile most in-
teresting articles of their contents, is an address to
his subject., by the Emperor of AU1171114, dated
Contort), the !nth of August. If this article be ge-
nuine, and it is extracted from the Ilasiburik Car-
respeadenietr. a paper that aims at truth and indepen-
dence, the spirit of Austria, though beaten, was not
broken, in the ',tittle of Wagrain ; and we are
strengthened in the hope, encouraged by the pro-
tracted state of the negociation, that she will net sub-
mit to a dishonourable peace. The brave and loyal
Tyrolese greatly aid her cause. Their insurrection
spreads, and while sue arm approaches the Duoube,
the other is extended to the Gulf of Venice.

Cats- and Gav;ivtLLE, report has intimated the

The MiiiisterialPapers are loud in their exclama-
tions monist Lord GRCIIVILLE; and Lord Gael',
for having declined the !Dropout made to them, in
lils M tocrr's name, to join and unite themselves
with the remains of the present Cabinet, in order to
form a new Ail ttt i t Marathon. Vet, by a singular
inconsistency. them advocates of men who have,
not less by their public incapacity, than by their
perdue'', dissensions, produced their own
dirsolu-
pion, make no scruple of awning. that they did
not expect an assent, and were prepared for the re-
fusal given by the Heads of Opposition." It is, how-
ever, strenuously endeaeoureil to impeach the mo-
tives of their c Net, so defieient in loyalty, re-
spect towards tbeSnvereimi. and regard for the pub-
lic welfare, in a crisis of diEcnlty sod danger.
How far these accusations or imputations are found-
ed in reason and iii justice, we may best ascertain,
by au appeal to fact and to precedent, sisstsineil by,
as well :Is builtoe, principle. They are the only
sure and Mir gentles by which we CAN form en opi-
nion of the measures or actions of public meth
If we review the p'reselit reign, it will be found
that changes in Ministry have been of two different
descripti ; either mitigated, or complete. or
the former, we have mill instances. In cases,
where the resignation of the first Minister. (us we
denominate, ia t0(11111441 language, the First Lord
of the Treasury,) has taken place from any private
and personal reasons or causes, peculiar to himself,
and affecting rather the Crown, than the country ;
' the King, rather than the people ; or when such u
vacancy has happened br death—in such instances,
the old Administration has been melted down into
another, without convulsion, and without any radi.
cal, or material alteration of system. Thus, early
in 1770, when the Duke of Gaarrox resigned the
' Treasury, Lord Norm', who Wes Chancellor of the
Exchequer undor him, succeeded to the office ; just
a. Mr. PencrrAt. might now do to the Duke of
POSILASD.• On the Marquis of RotitINGll•M'S
demise, its July, 1792, when Lord %CLIMBS F. be-
came First Lind of the Treassary. only Mr. Fox,
then Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord John
CATS:Nunn. who was Chancellor of the Exchequer.
end Lord K mist, First Lord of the Admiralty,
resigned their places. The other members of the
Cabinet remained. The change was only partial.
In like manner, when, in the year 1801, the late Mr,
PITT; Lord Gitxxvitt.e, Lord and
Lord Sentient, thought proper, upon a great pub-
lic measure, to give is their resignation, the !Mi-
nistry was transferred to Mr. A DUI N tiTOIN ; who,
with the exception of that one measure, might he
maid to adhere to Mr. Pitr's line of political action
en ether points. Mr. Pirr's second return to office,
in lell4, was marked by the saute features and chits
recteristics. No essential variation of system pry.
rested a poeteou of the old and of the new Cabinet

,

from -coalescing, and forming a new Adoruiniitra-

in-ether where either
