Noble Lord (Hawk‘stuty), tha' it. might he •-efritt
ed to other purposes: Tile Message inferred that
t!.erc were points in negociation wl ich, h as
),opal, would. be . terminated amicshly, but dist
efy information respecting them at the present mo-
meat might be injurious. He was of opinion, that-
the question relative to the negociations depended'
on future discussion, and that it would tie open toy
him to applaud or condonn his i',l:4jesty', Ministers,
as he should have reason to approve their cantina.
All he pledged himself to now was, that he would
give credit to his Majesty's Ministers for adapting
cautionary measures, and, subjeft to that observa-
tion, he should readily concur in the vote.
Mr. ATKINS congratulated the House on the
vote; he wished it had been for '20,009 seamen. I T.!
Wag sure there was not a man in the country ‘sir.
would not enable Government to have 9,0a0 stm-
men ; but he thought more might be done, th--
might be supplied by the adoption of a measure of
enrollment.
Mr. CANNING. recommended to the Honour-
able Gentleman, who had Moved the amendment.
to withdraw it.
Mr. DENT adopted his suggestion, and with-
drew it.
The original resolution was then put and carried,
and resolutions

defray the charges of the Vote.

to be received On Monday.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, MAntit 12.

Vestentay we received Paris Papers to the Stlt
inst. The French Funds have sofiered a depres-
sion, but not in proportion to the fall in our's. 'Chest.

papers contain nothing that can throw any light
upon the present state of affairs, as understood In
this country, unless it be an arrete of the 27th bf
February, imposing a very stria discipline upon the
carpenters *and other workmen belonging to the
French navy, agreeable to the law of the fourth

year oi the Republic; namely, a year of fierce war
and contention. Our funds rocoverci a little in the
course of yesterday, but we are not to infer from
thence any change in public opluion. It was mem.-
ly the rebound, that might he naturally expeaed,
after the first panic produced by such an unforeseen
crisis had subsided.

• In the course of the Debate, last night,' in the
House of Crimmons, n: thing was to be observed
but th^ same s!..agfes of opinion which pervaded t',e
former discussion on the same subjea.• The 14.1-
,
guage of the Minister was uniform and Consistent.
He strongly expressed his with for peace, and his
hopes, that the,last extremities might still be avoided,
but declared his resolution never to purchase
place by humiliation, or any injurious concessions.
Mr. Fox appeared to be less &voted than before to
Peace, upon almost any terms; and after taking a
comprehensive view of the constitntianal part of the
subjeet, displays the Naval and
.Islilhary Powers of
the country in the most favouraLle aid encouraging
light ; but at the same ti me he deprecated war,
which, if attended with 1,;:e Most glirious and tr•'.,,st
tempted success, he must still consider as out alike
greater` calamities that could brill this country. IS
