BRITISHTHE PRES S.

LONDON, .
MONDAY. MARCH 2. 1818.

We have received Paris Papers to •the *7th
hot. On the sad a conference was held at the
Hotel of the English Ambassador, at which the
Duke of WeiAlsitreoit. the Ambassadors of Rua-
Pntssia. Spain, Naples, and several other Miuis-
tenor Foreign Powers, were pretest. The object of
the meeting is not mentioned. Au iodide from
Berlin states positively that the Prussian Court
will not conclude the Loan that was uhout to be
invented for it iu London, on the conditions pro-
posed by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and Co. The
prospectus published in London not long since by
these Gentlemen, is declared to have been altogether
without the authority of the Cabinet of Berlin.
The following are extracts:—
•• ruts, VIIIRUARY 26.
•• The King presided yesterday at a Council of
Ministers from one to five o'clock.

" The Committer of the Chamber of l'eers.
charged with the exasuitiation of the projet of the
law of Recruiting, has proposed by their organ.
the Duke of Termite, two amendments.

" Immediately after the Report, 36 orators in-
scribed their names, announcing theirintention to
speak upon it."

The Five per Cent. Console were yesterday

By the Lord Melville, arrived in the Downs,
we have received a series of The Madras Courier
to the 7tl► October inclusive. from which we have
►wade extracts. She left Madras on the 13th Oc-
tober, and on the IS►h ult. encountered a most
violent gale oil tie Acores. by whiels she was dis.
masted.

It is cinijectured that it is triterwled to pay the

pretence the Committee erotic! have 'continued their
sittiagg itif 50 !wig 0 peri.oi, or hate kept the CouU-

and the exemplary manner in which they eketuiserl
the provisions of what is eomesa.ly called the
Act, of SOsPention. Now wilier ai willing as
soy the Veriest flatterer's orthe present Minis-
tits 'can be to acknowledge the propriety of
their conduct, •as far as 'each Member of the
Celia** is personally `cosicirtied ; we believe
that Lord SIDIIOUTIO acted throughout without
any motives of petty'rnafice `towards any or the in-
'dividnals by hn4 order, impritened we cannot
imagine that the' Noble Secretary felt any persomil
towards Mr. EvAws, or MITCHELL, or
llkeldhoSe, or any other of the per-eons suspected of
treasonable practices; Noe do we think that he had
felt particular joy in threkring.ihein into irons and
solitary imprisonment. But we think it very possible
that Ministers may have been deteiVed. and that it
is due tb every rhea iirrested by his order to have
the claim's of his arrest end punishment cautiously
and impartiiilly eitaiiined. We shell nut semerk
on the 'coastitution 4"the Committee appointed by
the Ministers to •jsylge of their conduct, for it
would matter little of what Members that Cent-
micro was composed, when the evidence submitted
to them was altogettrer ez-parte and written; but
can it be asserted ihat the cues of the suspected
persons were satisfactorily itivestigsted, when not
even their Petitions Were referred to the Com-
mittees ? The same cirettiiiiitincel that engendered
suspicion into the mind of a Minister. when plau-
sibly put together en paper. might very naturally
exercise a similar effect upon every Meniber of the
Committee; but what would be said of a Juryman.
were he. on hearing the evidence fur the prosecu-
tion, to determine within himself that it was con-
clusive, and close hit ems session the admission of
one word for the defence ? From every thing that
has appeared in the several Reports, and on the
State Trials, it is evident that the Minister* have
betk. throughout, the dupes of superior artillee.
and have been induced to countenance a systems of
espionage, which has been turned 'again* them-
selves and the country. It is .ochnitteki. ou all
hands, that the great body of the People was
wholly untainted with revolutionary principles;
and in the solitary instaace where d 0 or lOC men
assembled riotously to pldndet, on the night of the
9th of June, we are told that they did so in the
hopes of obtaining support io London and 'other
parts of the kingdom. As they advanced in their
system of pillage, they encountered the hostility of
the inhabitants of •'be villages throtigh which they
passed. So cinch Irk the concurrence of the coun-
try, even in the parts said to hate been most in-
fected;cnd with respect to the assistance to be de-
rived from London, we' re assured by the Marquis
of Laesnown„ one of the Secret Committee
of the House of Lords, that this expectation
had been disseminated chiefly by Oliver, who,
protected by the arm of Government, went on
boldly iu his task of deluding a miserable
starving populace to acts of outrage and rebel-
lion. The career of this infamous trader iu the
blood of his fellow-creatures will remain a dark
blot upon the character of the present Administra-
tion. The existence of discontent, which must
ever attend poverty. can afford no excuse for send-
ing out agents to tamper with the people. There is
a ewe. ditlirence between the theory of reformation,
such as may have been imagined by some of those
who felt the misery of want end idleness, and the
actual march of rebellion; and if by the suggestions
of Government spies, the crude notions of the one
required the consistency and point of the other, there
can be no doubt that those spies were the actual
traitors, and ought to have suffered In the place
of their victims. The assertions frequently repeat-
ed, and the offers of evidence that Oliver has so
ucteil. deserve serious consideration; and if. on his
conviction, it be subsequently found that Ministers
permitted such conduct, and gave confidence to the
system of temptation, by encouraging the tempters,
nothing short of their solemn impeachment ought
to satisfy the justicer.aud atone for the injuries of
the country.
