taking into consideration the treaty with France,
Lord LAM:P.I,I,LS rose, and move►♦ the Addiess to the Prince Re-

renewal of the Slave Trade, s id the restoration to France of the
fisheriec at Newconnilland,

Mr. Wit nrltFiincE, in an alimated speech, took a review of the
principal circumstances of the hte war, and lanirided that the in-
Fertino of one article in the treaty (the Slave Trade) prevented its
receivinc his most unqualified approbation. He moved an Amend-
ment, That the House, considering the deendon to .Odell it had
come on tie 27th of this month, would &fel, for the present, gi‘i:l4
a final judgment on the first additional article of the Iterity, telving

On Friday evening, a most splendid Fete wr.s given at these gardens

his Grace the Dtike of Wellington, whose presence gave addithwal
zest to the exertions of the 'mu ly group ; amongst whom Alessrs. Far

ceptinns o' true religion, and religion elevates our minds
towards !leaven. Education being the iirtrumental cause
of our happiness, and religion the focus towards which con-
centre all our celestial enjoyments, it is a duty incumbent on
every parent to store the infant minds of their tender off-
spring with the golden treasure of necessary information, at
least with such a portion as their means may be capable Q f
affording.
The good effect of early implanting the advantges result-
ing from Christianity is sufficiently obvious : it tentls to
soften the most obdurate, and invigorate the more pliant
inelinaticns: it instils into the mind dutifulness to parents,
submission to insttuctors and the spiritual and judicial
authorities, kindness and civility to all matAind, and watch-
fulness of Heavenly duties. Are not these most essential
acquisitions ? Do they not effect comfort to the possessors,
happiness to parents, and Myatt delight to the whole human
race? In all our afflictions and distresses ; in adversity and
prmperity ; in all our affairs, whether human or divine;
in short, throughout every situation of life. it is our only
support. Without education our minds might stil have
been enveloped in dirkness, and the hidden mysteries con-
taned in the inspiied writings of the Evangelists and others
remained concealed.

We here see the beneficial results of truly Christian
piety, and the imr.erious necessity of embracing religion as
our only enre guide to a blessed eternity Let every pa-
rent, guardian, and tutor, con•ifler himself as a shepherd
to those committed to his care and protection, and endea-
your to qualify his little flock for their respective stations,
and make thr,m acceptable in the sight of God: also het
every pastor, not only exhort to repentance, and renun-
c!ation of evil deeds, but practice and follow tln•se things
they teach which are necessary to Anlvition ; whereby these
vines, planted in a fertile vineyard, and under their cultiva-
tion, may not be as the barren lig cc, dry and withered,
(Mark chap. 12, vers. 20, 22) but, by example as well ;:s
precept, bring forth fruit to perfection, their boughs hang-
ing down exuberantly with iyolden clustres, mellow and pre-
pared for their spiritual shepherd, when he shall gather
them into his heavenly fold.
This subject being capable of farther extension, I shall em-
bnce an early opportunity of renewing these remarks.

suit.

To slavery, under whatever denomination or colour it may
exhibit itself, we are, if we may be allowed the expression,
Enemies by instinct. But so long as we know it to be the
concomitant of power, and abstractedly to form a part of
every system of human legislation, so long as we have known
it to reside with philosophy, and to have upheld the perish-
able superiority of Rome: we may yet revere that supreme
order of events that leaves something to rouse the dormant
faculties of mankind,and to give constant employment to the
active and consolatory pursuits of the heart.
We fear, however, if the question were narrowly scru-
tinized that it will be found, that while we are in pursuit of
a contingent benefit, many things of domestic and foreign
interest are allowed to pass by without examination and with-
out censure,—and that, while we are busied in destroying
slavery abroad, new endeavours are made by some powers most
indebted to us in the fearful contest from which we arc just
released, to re-estab!ish the most odious of these institutions,
the existence of which, first led the way to all the blood
and massacre that have desolated Europe for the last twenty
years. Yet how can we interfere with a Power that we have
made independent of ourselves ? How can we correct that
besotted ignorance which wars wits all improvement, and
which, unenlightened by the past, still clings to irs supersti-
tions, and, above all, to the hlessinv of the Inquisition
Who could believe this after what has happened—after

Spain has suffered—af►er the noble straggle which has
by England for her security? It is here that we
!fully called upon to act. If France is to be

We hope that these our sentiments, which are principally
directed against the political uses which have been made of
thi, article of the treaty, will not be misconstrued into even
a virtual approbation of the traffic, which we abhor with all
good and virtuous men —who, by their opposition,
have endeared themselves to the humanity (q,f ail ages

Dispatches, of which the following are conie., have beet:
received at this office, addressed to Viscount Castletcag,h,
front Lord Burghersh and his Excellency General Viscount
Cathcart.

Miley 24 J:►n. I_l4.

MY LoltD—l have the honour of repor? iug to your Imrd•
ship, that General Bulnia entered G"neva, by capi!Ala!ii n.
on the 30th. It appears that the officer in command of the
French garrison at that place, was wAiont the means of resist-
ance, and that he had every rea,on to dread the hostility of
the inhabitants; be was allowed to retire with his garrison,
when the Austria's took po:lession of !he place.
The people of (;eneva are about to te-establilt their anci-
ent government ; they have manifested the most decided aver-
sion to the dominion of France, which had been forced upon
them ; and I hope they may be effectually secured,agaimst the
recurrence of that misfortune.

In the Duchy of Sayny, the same spirit of hatred to the ty-
rantry of-France has universal ' been shewn. Au organiaa.
tion has already been commenced in the country, with the
view of asserting -its ancient independence: we ate as yet
without details upon the subject, but I hope at an early period
to transmit to your Lordship the most favourable intelligence
flow that country.

Tho corps of Austrians. under General Biouchi, is occu-
pied in the investment of Belort ; it has relieved the division
of General Wrede's corps, which was before employed upon
that service, and which having joined that officer, will to-
morrow advance upon Colmar.
General Biouchi has his advanced-guard at Vesoul, and
has been directed to send forward considerable narties to
Langres. Tt appears, from the reports of that officer, that
thg Austrians have met with the best possible reception from
the inhabitants of France.

The corps of Austrians under the orders of the Prince of
nesse, will arrive near Besancon on the 9th of this mouth,
and will form the investment of that place.
DetachMents have been sent by General Bubna towards
I taty, and to th• different points of strength on the roads of
the Simplon, St. Bernard, and St. Gothard. He has also de-
tached parties towards Lyons.

A body of one thousand Cossacks has been detached from
Altkirch to Remirmont, Epinal. and Nancy. These troops
are destined to reconnoitre the valley of the Moselle.
General Wittgenstein has hreil directed to pass the Rhine
this dAy in the neighbourhood of StraNbunr, and to push fur
ward his advance upon Sovesne. He will communicate by
his right with Generol Blucher, who will have passed that
river with a part of his corps at Cppenbeim, and
of it below.Mayencr,

FRENCH PAPERS.

Nothing can so clearly betray the indifference and inac.
tivity of the French in the present crisis, as the articles with
which the Paris papers have lately abounded. Their constant
theme has been the propriety of an unanimoas expression of
public spirit, and the necessity of not separating the eause
of the Government from that of the people. They have
also laboured with great earnestness to show, that in all the
%rats that have desolated the world, they have always been
attacked and " compelled to conquer" their enetnics in sylr-
defence. We insert one of this description, which may be
considered as a manifesto in reply to the declaration of the
Allies, and the aim of which is to create jealousies and dis-
sentious among the coale,ced Powers, and to persuade the

Lave sustaitied supporting the constitution of the o:d.

This, however, is a subject of a most delicate nature, and
paiticulatly when it recollected, that although the opi-
nion.Of the feigning Sovereign is said to be favourable to
our making au attempt to regain the footing lost by the Mi-
nisters of his predecessor, there is a strong. and powerfA
party, not only in the Country, but in the Cabinet acid the
Legislature, determinedly oppised to such a step. With
theta the cant is " we are sui-licientiv nowerful."

" It is an expression, in the mouth of all people of super-
" ficial information, that we have already m,,re territories
" than we can we'l govern. Perhaps the crsertion may carry
" with it a gleat deal of ti uth, were all the would so
peaceably inclined, las not to wish to pull us down
" from that pinnacle of prosperity aud grandeur tO which
4, we have arm ived. But we shotill remember. what every
" p2ge of history tells us, that there is oo fixability in hu-
" man afiairs, that an empire is ever progressive, and that to
"--attempt to render it stationary at any given epoch. is the
" highest proof of linman folly ; that it is the sathe as arrest-
" ing the Colli2 of-time, or fixing the sun in the meridian."
But to this disposition alone is to be asctibed the feeble
mode in, which the war Ms hitherto been waged.

However, i: is to be hoped, perhaps rather hoped than
believed, that we have beard of all ihe disasters which are to
befall the British Aims on the western Continent fol the
present campaign. ‘'Je say rather hoped, than believed, on

To return to our main subject : the state of parties in tile
United States..

No one can be ignorant how completely Mr. Jefferson and
Mr. Madison bare, for tire past 13 }ears, placed the fedeml
party at &fiance. • The y,-,ry name of federal:st made a
man worthy of nothing but politi, al exile. The Barlow's, the
Armstrongs, the Crawfords, &c. &c. have been selected as
the Representatives of the United Sacs in the Courts of
Europe. At home, the lowest mfflans frnrn• Europe have
in some instances been known to st,pefsecie narive
of the most respectable class and estimable charac:er.
Indeed, such was the raurour of Mr. Jefreison against his
political opponent,, that a who had inter 'opted the
tratiquiliity of a sacred ed and insul,ed the venerable

It was an assertion which might lead the public into error, and real-
dered it necessary for the Committee to explain, tn hint
o as
their organ, what passed in the bureanx of the Chamber on the sub-
ject of that plan of law.
It was, he repeated, in V e name of that Committee, that he
now came to give this explanation. Never were opinions more
unanimous than those of the bureaux relative to the unsold property
of emigrants, and also with regard to the discourse by which the
plan of the law was introduced. They all united in the generous
views of the King, and in his sentiments respecting those French-
men who are the objects of the law. Some of them went even far-
ther than the law. and spoke against the exceptions which the pru-
dence of Government prescribed to the general principle.
The same unifttrmity of opinion, however, existed in tl:e bureaux
tvith regard to the discourse of the Mitiister of state, M. Ferraod.
All demanded a censure of that discourse ; several dent still far-
ther. The Committee, faithful to the spirit of its constituents,
.displayed in the discussion of the law the same uniformity of prin-
ciple which had existed in the bureanx. It was unanimous as to all
the principal enactments of the law ; and equally so as to the ens-
Hire of the Minister.

Such were the facts of the ease, which it was important that !I
France shool(1 know. They contlite the assertion of the jutirmilist.
Jtut %%lint the Committee had char:zed hint (M. Soupiest) to propose 11'
to the Chamber on this delicate point, would settle public opinion
still more, and probably prevent every kind of mistake; it was,
that the Chamber should re•consider its dNision, relative to the
distribution of the •peech of M. llesloch, the Reporter, which was
iofluenced by motives totally different from those ascribed to it ; -
and should now vote the distribution of six copies each of the re- i
port of the Committee.
The Committee will not notice the injurious insinuations of the
journalist against its reporter. The chuacter and conduct of M. 1,
illedoch were tar above such miserable attacks. Constantly at- I
tartled to his conutry and ii King,, lie braved fir them duns eons
death. Calumny could not stain the reputation or one of !'
the most estimable of their colleagues ; hut Government will,
doubtless, not suffer that the Chamber should ever have reason
to repent o( their saving consented to a mmentat y restiictiou of •

Dien, in gent-ral, ibis is the last subject to which the least at-

This ignorance of the character of our opponents, clearly
0r,2%%, d itself in the rise, progre,s and termination of the
late American war. The talents of an Hancock or an Otis,
far carrying on intrigue, and obtaining influence at home -
tivise of a Franklin and an. Adams for ingratiating themselves
Arith foreign Powers—those of a Washington either, for the
senitr, the cabiret, or the held—all were overlooked, And
tined the gritisli Clown had not a possession in the valua-
ble part of America, did either the Ministers, or the people
of Finglo.nd. think that immense continent worth a moment's

We eir in saying that Ministers did not think it worthy
attention. The as.ertion is incorrect. They (!eumed the
patrorage, the patrmage worthy their notice—
they uniformly exercised this patronage in such a way as to
ht faillee • all the evils of oppression, without any alleviating
benefit-,--ther made a perpetual war on the feelings of the

throw off their tdh!giance. At the peace of 1783, the me.

deetned sot thy a commission signed by the Royal hand, and,
of c,:ur.e obliged, either to submit to the orders of a subal•

The respect and veneration in

seem, have esm,blered them as a nation of Washingtons, and
have attempted to palliate their grossct errors—while others
ha\ e placed them in a -,ituation benc.tth contempt. In short,
