B'etraie. Hi* Highneis itipeared in grand costume,

4 At the moment when the'gittiiii& of the
tion hac placed the reins of Government in the
bands of his Majesty, be eitablishi-d between
hicfi-
self and you the habitual corinekiori of etinfiderice',
and a communication of thoughts, which have made
you partaker's in the grind designs conceived arid
executed for the good of this great Empire,
" Thus you have been seasonably inforined, thai
his Majesty's first wi'she's Wert foi Peace, and that
this generous Sentiment never abated.

" Before he appeared upon the field of battle, he
offered peace to his enemies.

" After vietory, his triumphant band never ceased
to offer the olive branch.

" He 'liOpeid that the particular Treaties entered
into, and successively conciliating every interest,
would gradually appease every sentiment, and final-
ly lead to that General Pacification so ardently de-
sired by th 6 Nations df Europe, and so necessary to
their felicity.
" His Majesty's expe&ations have been deceived.

" Europe, drawn towards repose by the viaories
of France, has been incessantly recalled to combat
by the influence of Great Britain, and the ambitious
pretensions of Russia.

" Coalitions, successively overthrown, have gi-
ven birth to new ones. The mo.leration of the viEtor
has encourned the vanquished.
" The greatest efforts of the military genius, as
well as the exploits of an Army which reckons as
nothing either distance, or season, or the number of
its enemies, have hitherto terminated only in glo-
rious armistices, the fruits of which have not been
peke.

" England, in the mean while, has seized upon
the commerce of the world ; all the products of in-
dustry in both Hemispheres would be swallowed up
in that :land.

In the mean while Russia, so long a stranger to
the disputes in Europe, is fomenting disorders in the
West, at the same time that she threatens the East

with her vast power.
" The Ottoman Empire is disturbed ; vexations
increase against it ; and it may be said that the
right cf sovereignty in this Empire are rendered
uncertain.

" In this juthure, amidst these machinations and
plots, his Majesty is compelled to abandon a course
in which he cannot find that peace which the con•
queror alone has sought.

" It is necessary henceforth to render peace de-
sirable to those who provoke war.
" It is necessary to render war fatal to those who
suffer themselves to be involved in it.

" It is necessary to reduce Cabinets to the happy
impotence of not being deceived any more.
"It is necessary that Princes so often conquered
should learn that clemency has its limits, and that
the sceptres they have abused may perish in their
hands.

" Hence, Gentlemen, the necessity of a new
plan of conduct, and accessory measures proper to
insure success.

" The first, and most important, consists in sup-
porting the power of the Nation, by continuing the
same means as before, and by the development of
its forces.

" 4 will afterwards be necessary, that a Nation
guilty of the infra6tion of the laws of civilization
should be deprived of all its relations with all civi-
lized people.

" It is necessary that his Majesty should retain all
his copquests ; and that he should drive from them
all the abettors of discord, till the moment when
England shall acknowledge those principles, which,
among polished nations, temper the disasters insepa-
rable from their dissention ; till the epOch shall
arrive, when a just restitution shall have acquitted
us of our obligations towards our faithful Allies ; in
fine, till a general Peace shall establish the repose of
Europe, and allow to all nations tine complete deve-
lopment of their industry.

" Gentlemen, you will appreciate all that is great
and glorious in this design. Its approaching advan-
tages, and those it will offer for the future, will
not escape your sagacity, whioh will there find an
ample compensation for the necessary persever-
ance and the momentary sacrifices of which it will
be the price.

" The guarantee of the execution of this plan,
his nijesty will find in the love of his people ; the
fidelity of the Senate (so often tried) ; and the cou-
rage of his armies ; but, above A; in that genius,
whose success has never belied its inspirations, and
in that ardour which admits of no obstacles, when
the glory of France and the happiness of the hu-
man kind are concerned."

VIENNA; Nov. gi.—The rumour has been sPrea,l
hete; but we knoW niSt how far it is well font) !ed,
that the EMPeror of the French aPPearei !sea
With the assembling of an army in Bohemia. Tile p;1:,-
tic of Vienna and the principal cities of the 114J1) ITV! v.
had conceived some uneasiness resPeiling the Iv g
which the Cabinet ofAust. is might tae in these circurri-
stances ; but we flatter ourselves that it will not per-
sist in supporting an army upon the Frontiers of
Bohemia and Morata ; for, since hostilities have
ceased in that quarter, the only motive for collet:
troops there no longer exists.

It appears that the Russians are determine. 3 to
venture upon a new war against France ; though
their first plans must have been considerably de-
ranged by the late events in Prussia. We are, how-
ever, certain that this war will not operate as a new
temptation to Austria.

it was easily foreseen that the misfortunes of
Prussia would produce very little effect upon those
Powers whom she negleeted to succour with her al-
liance.when she might have done it, and when they
were in the greatest need. The Public now specu-
late upon disasters with the utmost indifference; and
among our troops sentiments still more unfavour-
able are manifested.

As the manner in which the Russians have repro-
sented the events of the last campaign has been ge-
nerally disrelished in Austria, there is no doubt but
that should they experience any new reverses, they
will also be treated with indifference, not to say any
worse of them.

MILAN, Nov. `26.—The French Consul at An-
cona has informed the Minister of Marine that
Captain CARLI, Commandant of the Italian Corsair
Le Sans Pear; which lately provisioned the Island
of Tremitti, with so much success, in consequence
of
,running through an English Division, has again
distinguished himself against a Russian Xebec of
20 guns. Captain CARL' was forced by stress of
weather into St. Pennino, in the Island of Agoetc,
in Dalmatia, when a Russian Corsair and two Italian
prizes took refuge there also. The Sens Peur did
not hesitate in attacking them, and after an obstinate
fight, obliged tkem to cut their cables and rim,
leaving their Sloop and t crew of 'l3 men, four of
whom were killed, and the rest made prisorers...
Among the latter, seven were wounded. Captain
CARLI also re-took one of the Italian prizes ; the
other WAS sunk by the Russian Xebec.

Mr. SHERIDAtf, at a select Meeting of the Elec-
tors of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary, on Saint-
day last, held at the Navy Coffee-house, where they
had a Dinner in honour of his return to Parliament,
made a very admirable speech, in which lie repre-
sented the beneficial efredts-of the British Constitu-
tion in terms of glowing eloquence, and with irresist-
able force of argument. Among other striking
passages were the following, which well de-
serves the notice of all the people of this Country,
as it will teach them to estimate the blessings they
enjoy, while the whole of the Continent is either
enduring the pressure of arbitrary power, or in dan-
ger of falling under a military despotism of the most
severe and odious description : " That there are
defeets in our Constitution ; that there are things
which we must bear, and it would have .been
better could they be avoided, I admit ; but I main-
tain, that such a happy, such a complete and im-
proved state of society, as we enjoy, does not exist
any where else on the face of the habitable globe.
—The same language which I addressed to the
poorest peasants, at a late Meeting at Epsom, I
would address to you. Do not look to your cottage,
do not look to your home-stall, but look to the
hopes and future fortunes of .your children. These
are the great obje&s which you are called upon to
defend and protect. So I say to 'you, if you have a
son of promising talents, pour ambition into his
mind ; put him into the Navy, and he may become
a Lord NELSON ; put him into the Army, and he
may become an ABERCROMSY ; put him to the
Law, and he stands his chance for the Great Seal
of England, as the reward of his genius and his la-
bours. This is the state of society which we enjoy.
This is the strong position which I take ; and I defy
the loudest brawler among the pretended friends of
'liberty to shake is, or point out a single ati of my
life not calculated to uphold it. I defy him to point
out a single vote I ever gave in Parliament that Was
not for the poor against the rich, for the weak against
the strong, and the preservation and improvement
of that eirviable state of society which we enjoy.—
Every man who refleets, must love a Consitution
in which, from the wisdom of the laws, the Libe:rality
of sentiment on which they were framed, and the
temper of society, virtue, and industry, wherever
found, were sure of their reward ; and the lowest
man in the Country might aspire to the highest ho-
nours of the State."
Late on Friday night, or early on Saturday morn-
ing, the shop of Mr. Yonge, watchmaker, in the
Strand, was broke open and robbed of watches, &c.
to the amount of upwards of teol. It was watt,
