we are convinced, this Country is indebted, under

The Ayes having come forth, were addressed by'
Lord CASTLEREAGH, while in-the .Lobby, nearly in
the following words :
" Gentlemen, to-morrow the Treaties alluded to
in His Majesty's Speech will be laid before the
House, and a day will probably be named for dis.
cussing the great question, involving so much of
the merits and chara6ter of Mr. Pitt, but partially"
alluded to this day. .I hope and trust; Gentlemen,-
that.you will give a full . attendance on that day,
which will be the more necessary,, as we have lost
the splendid talents of the great man whose merits
have been the subjeEt of debate this night, and will
be principally so on that."
The Gallery was not again opened for the admis-
sion of Strangers ; but we understand the House
went into a Committee of Supply, and the Votes
were passed without opposition. The 'Report to be
received to-morrow.
VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR.
Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice that he should
to-morrow move a-Vote of Thanks to the Officers,
Seamen, and Marines, of the Fleets of Lord NELsOii.
and Sir R. STRACHAN.

The Noble Lord also intimated to the House, that
he had received His Majesty's command to lay the
Treaties alluded to in the Speech before them.

WHILST the. House of Commons were dividing

ties, and other Docurnenks relating to ti. ar on the
Continent, would be. laid on .the. Table this day.
The discussiOn upon 'that' subject would, -he said,
probably take place in a few days, upon «•hich oc-

they had now to deplore,

WE received this morning Paris Papers to the

have only room to insert the most important articles
they contain.
On the 14th inst. the Arch Chancellor of the Em-

ILTESD kY, JANUARY 28, 1806.

We, stated yesterday that Lord GRENVILLE was to
have an interview with His MAJESTY at two o'clock.
That interview took place at the appointed time, and
lasted for about half an hour. The result was, that
Lord GRENVILLE received His Majesty's com-
mands to form a new Administration, and to
present a pl 7 of a Ilinistry, arranged by his
Lordship and 1113 Political Friends, to MA7
JESTY'S core:ideration to-morrow. .Several Lists
have in - consec,uence been handed about ; but
as we believe twat ,no arrangement is yet' agreed
upon, except that Lord GRENVILLE is to be First
Lord of 'the Treasury, and Mt. Fox Secretary of
State for -the Foreign Department, we forbear to
state the variety of conjeaural appointments which
have been announced. Another day will probably
develope the Plan of the new Ministry; in which
case we shall then be enabled to lay before pur
.Readers an authentic statement of the intended ap-

• " If the Grand Ele&or had been present, you
would have received from him the communications
which the Emperor and King orders me to make to
you. The Letter which His Majesty addressed to the
Senate, has for its obje&, to inform you of two
important particulars •:—The one is, the Marriage of
Prince EUGENE with the Princess AUGUSTA, daughter
of His Majesty the King of Bavaria. The other is,
the Treaty of Peace coneluded at Presburgh, on the
26th of December, and ratified the next day at the
Palace of Schoenbrunn, near Vienna."

After paying some compliments to Prince ETTL.
GENE, the speech proceeds : " This Marriage shews
how much the Emperor appreciates the fidelity of
the ancient House of Bavaria,, whose attachment to
France has ;at . all times been firm, and how much
his Majesty is touched with the courage and fidelity
of which the Bavarian Nation and its illuStrious
Chief have given such proofs, to the danger of
their greatest interests," &c. &c.

Fits MAJESTY comes to town to-morrow, ex-
pressly for the purpose of deciding upon the ar-
rangement to he proposed by Lord GRENVILLE.

Tilot.Tun we expressed astonishment as well as
regret on the report that Mr.. I.4sci.r.s's Motion

The great and virtuous Statesman whom we have
lost, was to be opposed in the House of Commons,
-yet we did cherish a hope that refleetion would have
deterred hia political adversaries from persevering in
such an invidioU3 intention-. It was to be supppsed
that they would have understood the generous cha-

" SENATORS,

" Peace has been concluded at Presbourg, and
„ratified al Vienna, between me and the Emperor
of Austria. It was my wish at a solemn Sitting to
inform you myself of the conditions, but having,
some time since, agreed with the King of Bavaria on

cess AUGUSTA, his daughter, and being at Munich at
nioment.the celebration of the Marriige is about
..to take place, •I cannot resist the pleasure of re-
maining with the young couple, who are models of
their sea. I am besides desirous of giving tb the Royal
House of Bavaria, and to the brave Bavarian Na-

and have shown me so much friendship, and whose
ancestors were constantly'nited in policy and in
disposition with France, this proof of my considera-

flan and my particular esteem.
