Communication had been made by the Telegraph
from, Deal, of the landing of the Messenger at
Do ;et, with the Ratification of the Preliminaries
of Peace, in consequence of which preparations were
every where. made for a General Illurnination.---
No annunciation, however, was made in the course
of the evening, of such arrival, and we find the
account of it -to have been premature; As
we yesterday stated, however, M. OTTO- is in
possession of information of the receipt of. the,
Yediminary Treaty at Paris on Saturday evening,
and that the Ratification would take place as speedi-
ly as was consistent with official forms, Its arrival

ELECTOR of COLOGNE and BISHOP of MuNsTEl.i•ii
His Majesty the KING, in consequence of the Fin-
ciples adopted in, the Treaty of Peace of L;,:iieruillel
signified to the Dict.at /67..:-ilz, and likewise to
the two Chapters of the Elegy orate and'Bishoprio
. .
th4t during the present Negotiations, no netl
Election ought to . take place to any DigtritiO

as the Chapter of Munster etas, notwithstanding,
proceeded to an eleaion of new Bishop, His Mdi.
jesty is judged it •proper to transmit the follow
ing•Protest at once to the assembled States of the
Empire, and ea the two Chapters Of 441/Fier and

6f His Majesty the ICtzi. of Pe (Psi; a has eapliet'ely clef
Oared, b)th to the General ASsernbly of the Einpire, and iR
Other places, that .he considered it as a natural, necessary?

established by the Treaty of Luneville, that dutin.c; the
:Negotiations relative to the application and carrying
'cad of this principle, n 6 new Eledion sholtlii take plf
to any of the superior or inferior Dignities of the Empire, it'
case t,f the decease of the present possessors. 4441;y of tae
most considerable of the States * the Empire, apd pPs'
ticularly the Power with which the Einpire is concluo6
Pe-Ace, -have publicly apprcv,:d this consequence. The PO'
tie,: of this measure 'MIS equally evident with .the inipor.at?;
infuenle which it must have on the regulation of the ludo-P.'
nities ; and the more necessary was it to preserve the lattef
f, Om all new difficulties and perplexities, in order happill
to restore Peace to Germany, and fula the wish of evti
true Patriot in the empire. It was, therefore, to 113'
been expceted with confidence, that the two Chaptcrs or til/
Electorate of Cologne and 13ishopric of lifunsfer, lately yacat
ed by a much lamented death, would, with a view to the
cal good, have deterred proceeding to any new
they must have foreseen, that by such Election, the!.

Ne understand, from pretty good authority,-that
,'i"..Fox has expressed, not. only his approbation of
terms. of Peace, but his.surprise that they should
have been so- honourable and favourable to this
~i.ountry, considering the relative situation
.of the
tlfFerent PowerS; of Europe. If this information
be corred, which we .have reason to believe it is,
what becomes of .the arguments of those wretched
.'2.,ecizdrners who build upon the opposition,of 'Mr.,
OX to the terms of Peace ?

Our
present Administration are determined to
Preserve that character for wisdom, which no-man
theeis not the slave.of party prejudice will refuse
them' Their choice of Marquis CORNWALL IS does
great credit, and' they seem to have had in
such men as have been lucky, and prevailed before
in things wherein you -have -employed them, for
that breeds confidence., and they will strive to main-
tain
.their prescription.„
The terms of THE PEACE, as far as they are
known, seem to affl;rd general satisfaction but
iiit)ugh the Opposition Writers have been continu-
ally coiling for Peace upon ANY TERMS, we may ex_
petit to find them declare this Peace the worst that
ever was framed. They have told us, for many
months, that We should nor stand ppan high ground,
and refuse concessions to a proud and, vittoriaus
fleiny, who has rendered himself so formidable on
the Contineht, but make the best Peace. we can,
in order to stop the ravages, the miseries, and the
nlehacing 'ruin of War. But .now our Ministers
have aiqually. laid the foundation of a Peace, so
eitgerly demanded by the zealots of Party, and so
'lc'Ceptable to all ranks, we `have little doubt that
't' will be represented by Party Spleen as more ruin-
'l43 than the War it has so long and so rancorously
(lirldetnned.
thAn astern Monarch has it seems seized upon all
"(• sacred treasures:which his predecessors had eon-.
the red as inviolable. He grounds his right- upon

of Llis Forefathers, who, according to the custom
an,,tite' Country,. were interred with their -jewels
tic," a quantity of specie. Considering the preca-
priu! succession of the Eastern
,Monarchs, it is sur-
tii;ing that some of this Sovereign's predecessors
treasnot save him the trouble of removing those
cants ..es ; but as he set his People suchan example of
Pro mpt for superstitious prejudices, it is not im-
'able that they may think of dividing the spoil:
p,:th,e French have sheWn an uniform ignorance of
r,Pii.sh Literature. Of this we have a further
one. 'of their last Journals, where a list of
Classics concludes thus: "Smoh7t,

Covent-Garden.

THE Opera of Artaxerxes was repeated last
night, and Mrs. BILL INGTON received with un-
abated zeal of applause, an applause that her admit-
able performance abundantly reqt,ited. She was
encored ,in " Let not rage," and 4" The Soldier
tied.," On the repetition of ,the latter, she intro-
duced new graces, and eclipsed all her predecessors
irk executing this popular air.

The Bravura at the end of the first A& is the
most extraordinary specimen of vocal skill that ever
was heard. She seemed to be more in possession
of her powers than on the first night, and gave 'the
Recitatives with great expression.

The PR W“ of WALES was, in his former pri-
vate Box, and the DUKE of KENT in one that is
supposed to be intended for pis Royal Highness, on
the third tier.

The Prince and Princess of ORANGE were also
present. The applause which Mrs. BILLINorow
excites, and the attraction of her talents, promise to
reward the Managers for the unprecedented libera-
lity with which they have retained those talents
for the gratification of the Public.
