The militia, it is understood, will lay aside their
Present uniform, and provide themselves, at their
own expense, with a uniform similar to that of the
Austrian regular troops; from which it is conjec-
tured. that they will soon be made use of to supply
the deficiencies in the troops of the Imo, though this
appears to be inconsistent with the assurances given
them when they were first established.
A new militia (besides the old, called the /and-

pable of bearing arms, are to be liable to serve. It
is to be called the !abasement. It IS not, however,
expected to be of equal service with the other.

THE :BRITISH PAESS.

LONDON.
FRIDAY. OCTOM 6.

Wr have received Pans Paper* to the ofith kat,
but they contain nothing of oily importance.

We have received. Dteteh Papers to the Ist

f,r his Master. At 1.11 dep,irture he ii as present-
ed ley *emirs with a precious stone of great
valise; from winch circumstance it was inferred
that the oegociations are drawing to a close.—.-
There are, however, many circumstances en-
f.vnu►dble to this supposition. Letters from Stras-
burgh, of the lid September, state, that the Ar-
iaistice. which expired on the Yuth, has been pro-
longed for a month, with the additional stipu-
I ittila, that hostilities are not to retvontnence
sista attar uc weeks' notice of its expiration.
French corps a•td military sinews bed passed
throned' that city nit their way to Austria. and the
troops, both French and Austrian, were inconstant

It is now said, that the quarrel between Mr.
,P4NNING and Lord CAITIAINAGH is of nearly as
old a date us the Convention of Chars. Ilia Lord.
k "hip threw part of the blame of that business upon
Mr. CANNING, then in Leicestershire; and the
latter, un his return to town, entered his protest
against his Lordship's statement.

L.rd C,

For some time.. nest we hare istiltittilert, in the
wretched 1)1.106, that ire sold, soul mud hod to the
Mini.ter of the dtiiP, the cat and dog's-tnektt r.rt
of the public presis,, such pursgraplss as the f'ul-
low•inß :

" %%line is Lord llr6Vlr.at t why are not his great ta•

important crisis. when his country 'tinkly in need atheist ?"
always thought shut it was downright pusillanimity
mid cowardice, on Ilse rut of Hu M AJ Alini,teiv, not
to hove availed iliensekees the services of Lord 31rt.-
vii.t.r."

The public, little•asspectiag that any man could
seriously recommend Lord ftletvitta's return to
office, emisidered this as an empty unmeaning
cnnspliment; but it would now appear, thut these
were hist§ thrown out to sound the public mind,
and that silent contempt has horn coin:trued into
assent, on the part of the people.
It is now positively asserted, and avowed in the
Ministeral Circles, that Lord Met.vti.t.e. lies been
scut for by his MaJEsvv's commend, that ;Ur. Pert,
C EVA l.'s letter to him was sent otrhi.t Tlitirsday, and
that he is expected froi*Seotland the lk.giotting of
next week." Well, then, be it so.—We are to hare
Lord hlxtxttte, the Minister who put Ins hand in
the public purse, helped Ititurelf,auti told the people
it did not suit his convenience to give them the satis-
faction of knowing what he did with it; and his Lord-
ship's son, • Mr. DIUNIOAIII S AVM PRIVI, the pious
Jiaras, oho wale the pithetic speech in the
!louse of Commons far his father, then standing nt
its bur, is also to take upon himself a share of the
cares of thestutros sueeissor to Lord CAIIitEaXAGII.
Mr. CA %Niue. it is thought, will be aisle to attend
the Levee ass NVerloesday, alien he will deliver his
Seals 0r Office to Ilia MANIbTY, and they will be
tram-fermi to Lor4 ['AARON BY. The report that
his Lordship is merely intended rts a farina /mews
fur the Nlarlitits VI Li.LroLtY.4IoFF not pia amend.
It is generally ituNiosed that the Marouiripill de-
cline a share in au Administration. that tlrsarises
only an eulleineral existence. Neitliee'lli it true,
that Lord Wti.t.t 4K Hermit' La' joined the
PIiIWEVA I. squad ; the PoliTl. AND party being
Mom friendly to Alr....C•x thou to his success-

*the pertinacious, hut weak and ineffectual ef-
4rts, nose making by the present Administration, fee
en it seems we must still entitle it, may pentrant the
'ming*, and prolong the convulsions, but will hardly
restore the vigour of a Cabinet, fallen in the pub-
lic estimation, and sunk by its own inespacity.--s
These attempts to pepetuate its donation, in deb-
once of the public opinion, r • d tis forcibly of
those made by Lewd NOIITH, in the beginning of
1782, at the close of the American War. Op-
pressed under the load of national indignation at
(he disgriiceful events of the campaign of 1781, es
tl4'prewut Ministers are by the invasion of Castile,
fliinspedition to 'Naples, and the unsuccessful ar-
mament seat to the St it Idt ; Lord Clcoasta Gas-
ismer. tire Lord CASTI.Eltrai:ll of that iteriod, who

known that the sainelnimosity and disimion pre-
vailed,- et that time, between Loud GEORGE rind the
late Earl of SANDWICH, then 1744 Lord .if the Ad-
miralty, which hos now sliewn itself between Lord
CAST! EREA(.4I and Mr. CI xxlxvi ; though ilia
:Ministers of that period were not either so con-
temptuous of public opinion, nor so wanting in re-
spect to their Sovereign and to their country, as,
while holding the seals of office in their hands, to
sacrifice their duty to their personal resentments.- s
Under these embarrassing circumstances, Lord
NORTH precisely adopted the. sense expedients re-
sorted to by Mr. PEN/F.IAL at the present moment.
Ile opened a negociation with Lord SitELSVIINS
and his adherents, for strengtAtaixe and enlarging
the Administration, exactly as has now been at-
tempted with Lord GRENVILIt and Lord Getrir.
The none answer was then made to the proposition,
by Lord SnitticatrE, which has been returned, in
the present Moaner, on the part of the two No-
!denten just mentioned. A dereliction of public
principle did not admit of a step, and the over-
ture was immediately. as well as totally, rejected.
Thus situated, Lord Nolan endeavoured, like
his present successor, to find attiring the inferior red
subordinate supporters of Ins measisres, r substi-
tute for Lord CLORGE. ;1;n1 ballr t.drilts

And what was the Mae-

L

quence of this impotent attempt to re-invigorate a
government, already extinct in the eublic estima-
tion, decreed by its own incapacity, and dissolving
under its own disgraces or misfortunes ? That
which every man foresaw. II prolose3ation of about
eight weeks. In March, 1782, not two months
after this experiment had taken place, Lrird NORTH
and all his Cabinet resigned, utterly unable any
longer to sustaia the weight of the edifice, and
driven out by universal acclamation.
We have here a faithful and accurate picture,
mutate witaine, of Mr. PetteLvar.'s actual predi-
cament; and we have little doubt that the resem-
blance will prove as perfect at the close as it is at
the commencement. Does lie hope, by siilisti-
! toting Lord Mv:i.viLi.mes sun, iii place of the late
Secretary for the War Departaieut, to prolong his
own tenure of power ? So did Lnrd NORTH, when
lie put Mr. ELLIS in Lord Gsoura (Assists A's
place. But the event soon undeceived him, as we
cannot doubt will be the cape unw, whenever Par-
liament is met. To that completion lie must soon
•rrise; for, as we have already stated, the pecu-
niary difficulties in the Esc:lnsister and at the Trea-
sury, tire such, in conarquetice of the late elim-
inates expenditure of the pulilie money, on the inva-
sions of Zealand and of Castile, that, however Mi-
nisters may justly dread, they cannot long defer,
the opening of the ses,iiiii. Then and there,
indeed, the ere First Minister will appear in him
place, invested with his double honours. It must
be admitted, that the Treasury cannot suffer much
by the loss of the Duke of PORTLAND'S talents ; and
his smipport, we observe, is secured, by ^the substi-
tution of Lord WILLIAM BRATINCIi in the office
of Lord.LEeSSOM Gusvixis. This measure, if not
wise, is, atleast, consistent, and (if a piece with
the other principles on which the new arrangement
proceeds. But, we would 43k, where bas Lord
Iltoirtsett exhibited the ability to rpm.
lify hiin, at a tune like the present, for Secretary
at Wei ? Was it at :Madras, from whence he was
recalled, though Is. was never brought to acebunt,
fur the mutiny amid 11414•911CfC at Vellore ? Or is it
fur his services under Mr. Filexe, when in Spain,
which are commemorated by Sir Jowl Moons:,
that be is now brought forward in so conspicuous
amid efficient a situation ?

111 Mr. PERCEVAL, then, like Mr. PITT, in
1784, to covet, with his .Egis, the Administration ?
