" My Loan—lnformation having been received, from
which it was supposed that the Dutch Fleet had put to sea,

have been this day received from Vice-Admiral DOUGLAS,

WE are happy to find from what passed last night
in the House of Commons between Mr. Fox and
Mr. DILLON, that His Majesty's Ministers have no
intention of agitating the Question . relative to the
Roman Catholics of Ireland at present. We still
retain the opinion which we expressed upon this
Subjeet last year, when it was brought forward by
Lord GB ENVILLE and Mr. Fox 5 the discussion of
it under the present circumstances cannot be pro-
4uEtive of any good ; but it, may, or to speak tore
orrealy, it must revive animosities and create dis-
centions at a time when not only the welfare, heat
the safety of the tate depends upon the sincere
and cordial co-operation •of all Classes and descrip-
tions of His Majesty's Subje&s.

SECOND EDITION.

.5 UN- OFFICE,

-TWO O'CLOCK.

Vire stop tile- Press to announce the arrival of

Dutch Papers to the 9th instant. They contain

nu account of the opening of the Session of the Le-

tislative body, and the Speech made by BONArARTE

'on the occasion.

The length of the Speech 'Lenders it impgssible for

tis to lay it before our Readers this day, but the fol-

lowing is the most important passage whiali it con-

tains :

" I desire Peace with England—Not a Moment's

*lay shall be experienced on my part—l shall be

always ready to conclude ii, taking for its foundation

the Conditions of thg Treaty of Arnien."

BONAtARTE speaks 'with great exultation of his

riaorjes over the Austrians and Russians, and de-

Glares his firm determination to wrest the Crown of

Naples from the present Sovereign. He also alkides
to the Battle of Trafalgar, and acknowledges the

loss of some Ships, bnt says it was owing to a storm.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

iiANOVER, MARCH 4.

• Wn.s..r may be: the ultimate fate of this unfbrtu-
trate Ele6torate God knows; the political reports are
so contradiEtOry that even the most intelligent are
deceived. Some days ago it Was -confidently- re-
ported, and appearances since seem very strongly to.
corroborate the assertion, that the modest Ruler of
France had insisted upon it, as a sine qua .non of his
friendship with Prussia, that his Majesty should take
possession of this Country in his own name,' in
Perpetuity, and transfer Bayreuth and Anspach to
Bavaria ,5 but which he hesitates to comply with,
probably to avoid giving offence to the Courts of
London and St. Petersburgh. Provisionally, he has
been induced into the measure during the War, ' but
'declines signing any. instrument of transfer of his
(Arn States till a final adjustment takes place. This
cautious line of cQudu& !as given BONAI'ARTE so
great offence, that the Marquis LUCCHESINS. has
'been obliged to set out full gallop from Paris to
;Berlin, with dispatches of the most interesting na-
ture, the-contents of which are not yet -known ; but
circurnstanceVhat haVe since transpired clearly prove
that they are not pacific. Indeed no doubt is enter-
tained here, in the best-informed circles, that the
Corsican insists upon the Prussian Government pay-
ing into the French Treasury a certain sum of mo-
ney, which he calls the difference of the value of
this Country and those 'States ceded to his Bavarian
Majesty, who is of course to pay handsomely for
them : so that Hanover, Bayreuth, and Anspach,
are virtually sold by France.
The flints and ammunition of the Troops guar-
, tered here were examined yesterday,- and report
ays, that they may hourly expe& orderi to march.
It is also rumoured, that Baron` HAUGWITZ had
been dismissed from his situatidn, and that SCHULEN-
XERO had been appointed to it : whether it be true
'ot not I cannot say; however, it is well known that
by quitted this City in great haste for Berlin, a few
days ago, just when he was expeaed to' set out for
Bremen, where quarters ,were a6tually prepared
