The Gerale of last night contains Hit MAJILITT's
Declaration upon the rupture of the Negociation
for Peace witu France. It is given in our pre-

siding columns, and in its plainness and simplicity

tshibits a cause that stands not in need of any
•armish or ornament. It has been asserted, falsely
asserted, by those who would blast the fair fame
of Mr. Pox, and lower the spirit of England,
that the first offer .1 negoeiation was made by the
British Government ; that Mr. Fox, in his pacific

humbled his country before the Tyrant of
Fiance, and consented to the basis of a sepa-
rate Peace, regardless cf all Continental Allies
and connenians. The Manifesto rescues the trie.

naory of Mr. Fox Irvin this foul imputation, and
orlibits the country in that proud attitude, to which,
in relation to the rest of Europe, it has aspired, in
Cie most prosperous and brilliant was of its history.
The first offer was made by the French Govern-
ment upon the basis of the inipesstdetit and mutual

COlTlpertsztior), except in the instance of Hanover,
shish, having been unjustly attacked, was to be re-
stored without any equivalent. This basis, though
fair and promising, was not acquitseed in by His
BII.II4INSIC MAJESTY, Without an express stipula-
tion to aegociate in concert with his Allies. The clia-

soon manifested itself in the disgracefai stratagem
by which D'Oottait. was i;,duced to siga a sepa;
rate treaty with France, on. the part of the
Emperor of Russia, and from this point the Nego-
ciation languished until it was finally broken off by
the return of the Earl of LAUDERDALE from Paris.
The variety of important matter that presses upon
us, does not allow us to make any farther observa-
tions upon this very important article. It is, indeed,
well stated in it, that the simple exposition of fails
of which it is composed, stands in need of no com-
ment.
We give, this day, a continuation of the Mani-
festo of the King of PRVSSIA against France, and
shall conclude it to morrow. A mote complete Bill
of Indinment was never drawn up against a culprit.
It embraces the whole history of the French Revo•
lution, including a period of fifteen years ; but
when we look at the little space which the MARA"!
and ROBESPIERRE" have filled in that frightful in-

terval, compared ss ith the public and private
crimes of BON AP ALTS, the mind is appalled at
the magnitude and variety of his guilt. We have
the murderer of the Duke D'Emoniem, and
the destroyer of the German Empire in the
same count. We have a culprit fit for the bar of
the Old Bailey, and a great .tats offender against
the law of nations, united in one and the same per-
son. Such a variegated portrait of crime was never
before exhibited to the world, at the true and per-
feet likeness of a great and powerful Sovereign.
We read of something resembling it in Mii.toe's
Paradise List ; but MILTON'S hero never descended
to the minutiz of mischief with which Prussia
charges Naeotzos. White, however, we applaud
the spirit of resentment which the crimes of BoNA-
sAate have excited in the breast of the King of
Paussta, we lament that he should have held the
sword of justices° long suspendedover the head of the
offender. The King of Pe ussi a could not be blind
to that which was seen so clearly by all the rest of
the world. He must have seen that each concession
cmly led to some new humiliation, and that the me-
lancholy indulgence of being the last whom the re-
volutionary monster should devour, was the only
boon that he could expea.
The Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived
yesterday, with letters and papers to the 15th in-
stant. Combined with those to the 18th, of which
we gave some extra is yesterday, they afford a new
view of the theatre of war. The great accumula-
tion of the French, in their right wing, taught
us to ape& that /ow AAAAAA would there make
his first effort. be affair at Hoff was the
result of this policy ; but it deserves notice only
as the commencement of hostilities. The small
Prussian corps stationed there, fell back, with-
out loss, thus shoving, that it was a position
upon which it set no value. But, while the Prussian
army aas defensively upon its left, it appears to
have meditated some strong offensive operations on
its right. A military council was held on the St),
at Erfurt, at which the King of Prussia was pre-
sent, assisted by the Duke of BRUNSWICK. Marshal
Mottearmarr, Prince Hottentots', and General
Recast. Immediately after this council, the corps
of General Btuceen broke up from Gottingen,
and that of neon et. from Mulhausen. These corps
formed part of the Prussian right wing. They are
supposed to have taken advantage of the neutrality of
Hesse, and marched againt the Dutch army. The
Archduke CHARLES returned to Vienna on the 4th,
and the Emperor was expo led there on the next day.
The Prussian General, KALKIIIUTH, had arrived
there upon a mission, from the Prussian head-
quarters. Its °Neel could only be to stipulate some
terms of friendship and assistance in the present crisis.

We understand His Msr mt.- will not come to
town until next Friday, when the Recommit's re-
port will be laid before him ; and, at the strne time,
an order will be issued for the dissolution of Parlia-
ment.

COVENT-GARDEN.
Last 'night, Sti AC Welk it's charming comedy of
The Merchant of Venice, was performed with great
success. Mr. CooKes Skylark displayed much ori-
ginality. and received great applause. Miss :Ile ix Ws
Portia was an interesting performance ; her ma n. r
and tones, in many places, bore a strong resemblance
to Mrs SIDDONS. Ttagedy s Miss SMITH'S
forte, aril her Portia would have been more
pleasing, had it been less solemn The celebrated
speech on Mircy, was given with great energy.
In the trial scene, she displayed much good sense
and discrimination, and was warmly applauded
The Comedy is got np with great splendour, and
all the parrs are well filled. An Ode, in honour of
Lord Netsos, yesterday being the anniversary of his
death, was recited by Mr. Cook e, relieved at intervals
with music and singing, by the principal performers
of the Theatre. The music, by Mr. D AVY, was vet y
appropriate ; but the poetry is a flimsy prechretios,
not worthy of the great occasion. The figure of the
gallant Nttson appeared in the clouds, supported
by Britannia. " Rule Britannia" was loudly called
for, and santr with great enthusiasm, the audience
standing. Mr. Dr env is's Farce of Ike Jew and the
botto► followed, and introduced Mr. MELVIN in the
patrol Alcamo:a, the old ihisesollat Jew, in which
he displayed great feeling and spirit ; and was ex-
tremely happy in his transitions from the benevolent
!tractile to the trafficking Jew, who never forgot
the " main chance." He was admirably dressed, and
received the warmest applause. Mr. FA L LT, and
Mrs. Dims's, were excellent in Mr. and Mrs.
