and then deposited in thc vault. This vault is new, made
of brick, directly underneath the stone Monament elected.
to the memory of Mrs. nizabeth Robertson, at the north-
west corner of kenwell church; the vault itself being

Though it rained fast during the time of this-solemn es-
remony, and sometimes poured down, the people flocked to
the scene, and, for two hours, braved the worst. Nothing
hot umbrellas were visible, the avenues to the spot being
lined with spectators, while the church-yard was-absolutely
thronged to excess. Such is the memorial of the minister
of truth, who is respected by the chute!), and beloved by
his Hock.

Numbtred as he is with the dead, let the enemies of the

be restored.. Guadaloupe is said to be an xception. It is
asserted in some of the papers that the cession of this
Island to Sweden is confirmed, but a counter statement
has been put forth, according to which France is to hare
it- again, and Sweden is to be indemnified in some other
quarter.

Antwerp is to cease to be a naval arsenal. Two-thivds
of the fleet in its port are to belong to France, the remain-
ing third are to be given to Holland. The ships taken at
Venice, Genoa, &c. are to remain the possession of- thuse
Powers by whose forces they were captured. The fisheries
en the coasts of Newfoundland- and the adjacent Island!,
and in the Gulph of St. Laurence, are to be placed on the
same footing as they were before the weer, and Franca
is to have the liberty of establishing factories at Pondi-
cherry and Chandernagate, in the East Indies, but must
not erect any fortifications.

The cont:mts of the Treaty may briefly be summed np
as follow3:—To indemnify us for the burthens of the ware
we only retain, of all our colonial composts from France,
St. Lucie, Tobago, and the Mauritius. Malta, which vo-
luntarily placed itself under the protection of the British
Crown; Trinidad, which we conquered from Spain ; and.
Cev!on and the Cape of Good Hope, which we took from
the Dutch, will be definitively annexed to the British do.
minions ; while France, who has nothing to cede, re-
ceives from the bounty of the Allies, Martinique, Desca.
ria, Mariegalante, Guiana, Cayenne, Senegal, Goren, Pon.
dicherry, Chandernagore, and the Isle of Bourbon ; and,
according to some accounts, Guadaloupe.—On the coati-
nent of Europe, Avignon, Chambery, and a small portion
of t.Tritory -on the sides of the Netherlands are to be added
to France as she stood in 1789, while in India her factories
arc to be restored.

From this sketch it will he seen, that the present peace,
~foi;ous as it is for England, isgreatly beneficial to France.
Some repining spirits already complain we have given up
too much ; but be it remembered, it is true policy to bl
g..nerous. Greatly to cripple the power and dominion of
Fiance, would be but to supply her with the motives for
undertaking a new war, at a period not very remote. The
s tcritices which renewed hostilities would call for, would
greatly exceed the value of any thing we have given up,
that it could be thought desirable to retain. By resign-
ing that which 'we have restored, we give ourselves
a claim on her gratitude; and if it be urged that national
gratitude is a thing on which no dependence can be placed,
as it too often falls before the cupidity of ambitious poi..,
ticians.—still, in making the nation content, we make tho
peop!e decidedly against war; and thus, if dragged into
hostilities by their Rulers, they cannot be supported by
the same energy as might be expected under other circum.
stances. On this subject at present we need say no more.
That which we have thought it our duty to offer, we hope
will satisfy our Readers, that if, in the first instance, the
sacrifices made are greater than ought to be made to pro-
pitiate France, we have to hope that they will hereafter
cause a saving of our blond and treasure, by prolonging
the duration of peace, or pave the way for new triumphs,
when again unavoidably plunged in war.

into the Papers. We give the fullest Reports of the two
principal Speeches, that the Public may be made acquainted
with the course taken on both sides. Of the correctness
of these Reperts we cannot say much. We presume they
are given by Members, and the Public have not now to
learn, that few Members of Parliament have talent enough
to report their own speeches decently, or sufficient activity
anti patience to attend to those of others faiity—
In those we have given (though the most favourable speci-
mens we could find) it will be seen, that Mr. Bathurst has
not been dons jnctice to, or that Mr. Whitbread replied to
a great many things which that Right lion. Gentleman
-never said, fer he is made to refute many assertions
which, but for the refutation, there had been. no reason
to suppose Mr. Bathurst ever advanced. If when the
Reporters are excloded, Centicmen choose to write their
own harangues, or to give the original cop.'', they ought,
to do justice to their opponents, even though these persons
a-e too indifferent about the fate of their elect fence, fo
write their spet!clics; either before they speak them or after.
