NOTHING further has tr aspired respeLing the
terms on which the Preliminaries of Peace have been
signed, than what we columni;iCiTielcin-Saturday to
our Rea,ders, and of the Correaness 'of whiclLwe
have reason to be perfealy satisficd.The decided
opinion which we then expressed, has ,been abun-
dantly confirmed by mature refleaiciii, and we have
no hesitation in pronouncing such terms not only
honourable to Great Britain, -but such as being.
Within her reach, it would.have been criminal
Administration not to have closed with, and in the
rejeaion of which,. they would have incurred high
and tremendous responsibility for the miseries of
protrafted War,'
The more we contemplate the importance of the
two great and valuable acqnisitions in either Hemi.:
sphere, which will retnaia to us or, the termination
of the War, the more we are disposed to admire
the wisdom.of the ,sele4ion, and the steady firmness
by which Ministers have been enabled to carry those
points, -In C'910.0 we possess in the ast an Island,
not only capable of adding very considerably: to the
Commerce of this 'Country, but which. has the in..
calculable recommendation of . posiesing Por,ts•
which entirely command both the Malabar and CO-
fomandel Coasts of the Indian, Peninsula at any'sea-
son Of the -year;--the Want- of which was severely
fert during the American War,--,ln the West in,
dies we have, in Trimitiad, a Colony of great ex-
tent, of uncommon, fertility, the most healthy of
all the. West India 'lslands, neither • exposed' to fe-
verAsnor hurricanes, 'capable of immense improve-
ment-in
.BrKsh -hands, already addi!)g considerably
to-our Revenue, and being besides a -most admirable
-naval station,This is a.posseSsion which we should
infinitely .prefer to Martinicc, • even could that
Island have been obtained, as larger, richer, more
salUbrious, much More 'eligible in a commercial
point of view—possessing a better' port ; and, We
are decided in this preference above all, because the
heart-burning which must have attended the forced •
cession of the latter on the part of France, would
probably' have aEaed the permanence Of the Peace,
when made, the first objea.to which we 'think
sound and .honest Statesman ought to look in setting
his name to Preliminaries.

Of theie Preliminaries, we have heard it report.
,ed, that Mr. PITT has declared his general appro.,:
bation. We hope this report may be true, as it
would be to us matter of thq'deepest regret to differ
on any essential point, from such distinguished au-
thority. Should
.we find him, when Parliament
meets, giving 'his' open support to this great mea.'
sure, on which we , think the present welfare and
future' prosperity of this Country so much depend,
it will afford to the World another rare and splendid
instance, that what in little minds would produce
only paltry .and selfish jealousies, affords to great
ones an opportunity of displaying magnanimi.
ty and public; spirit in new 'and untried circum.,
stances. Weate confident that those who by their
talents have procured such terms of: pacificationi
and thcise who diced their talents to the support of
such a measure, will experience, almost universally,
the applause and gratitude of their. Country.,

- WE this porning, received French Papers to the
zd inst, Two Vessels arrived at Dover, in one of
which came Lady MINT° ,and family the other
brought over Dispatches .and some British Pri-
soners.

The Paris Papers.are not interesting. The great
event which took place on. Thursday night, was of
course ;got ',known_.ther,..., and the Tiers Consoli#,
therefore, maintained the same price, 'sg, -
Our Extraas from these Journals are, from the
nature of them, necessarily very small:
" Mr. ERSKINE (says the Moniteur) writes,
that the Archbishops of AIN and BOURDEAUX, the
Bishops of COMMINGEG and ESCAR, have resigned
their-Sees, in reply rci the Pope's Letter."
In consequence of the same Letter, the Bishops
of NISMES and CHAUMONT have sent in the
resignation of their Sods to the Archbishop of
CORINTH.

Resignation of the Bishop of NismEs, addressed
to Monsigndr SPINA :
YourEx.eellency, will find 'hereunto annexed,
my resignation of the Bishoptic of Nismes. There
is n 9 sacrifice for which a French Bishop in the
Communion of the Holy See, must not find himself
indemilitied in the happiness of concurring in the
preservation of the Unity of tl.:e Holy Church, and
in the .re-establishment of the Catholic Religion iA
France, by the only mexielre which His riol i es s
thinks equal to produce 0 great an ed'eft.

It is supposed . that he is immediately to go- to
France in a high Diplomatic Charafter, fO settle the
Definiiiire Treaty. of Peace. Amiens is said to be
the place fixed on for. this .purpose.
Parliament, we understand,, wiit.certainly meet
9n the 29th inst. .
The Hamburgh Mail which beeame due yester.
day, had not arrived when our. Pap6r %,as put to
Press.

The ratification of the Treaty between this
