LONDON, S'EPTEA'SBER 4., ISor.

-W,T this morning received Paris Paperr to the
rit inst. Their contents, like those which preced-
ed .them, t.re v.-11,)11y uninteresting. The French
Tiers Consolicle has declined to 47.

-A Letter frOm ilr,fo4llo-4-h, of the zoth'of Aug. as.
serfs,` that the Courts of.liennu and Berlin have at
length core to an understanding respeeting the. esta-:
blishment in .Germany of the GRAND DUNE of TUS7
,CA4Y and of the`itri:ctOf GRANO E. The first is to
receive-as•a•compensationtheCountryOf Sqltz-hourg,
Passau, anti Bercbtolsgetcle, which would round the
Southern States of. the Hotise of. Austria. The
StADt*BOLOER is to receive. the BishOpricks of
Wurtzbaurg and of Bamberg, which, as well as, the
former stales, are of .course to be secularized. The
Emr Eaoa has, it.is- said, already consented to the
Kt so of PRusstA'being indemnified for the Dutchy
of Cie-vet, and his other Poisession on the Left
-Bank of the Rhine, by the Bishoprick of Munster. A
third and last point, on which the two rival PowerS
are said-t 6 have, come to an 'agreement is, that the
Indemnities and the Secularizations shall be regu-
lated by the Diet of Rathbon. It is hardly neces-
sary to observe, .that all thesearranements of the
Suabian Journalist requireeonfirmation.

The Moniteur continues to be full of the Protocol
of the imperial Diet, teirnivated hy their Conc/usum
of the 3oth of April. This recapitulation of Public
Proceedings is not sufacientlr interesting' to call
our attention to it. •

The Mag;cirnme Frigate, 'with Forty Sail under
eonvoty. from j:lmaica, were well on :he 6th of
August,- on the Grand Bank of Newfoundland.

THt Mgrning Cb4nicle yesterday again attacked
our Government, on the two most ostensible and
reMarkable measures of Administration, those which
they have adopted. to avert. the Offensive Plans of
the French,- and the Treaty by which they, have
put an end to our differences with the North. To
reproach_ourNiinister,s with having diminished :he
mimber of our 'Enemies, and with haVing prevented
the one Which still remains from hurting us; and to
dedicate four entire Columns to those points, is cer,
tainly.to•fulfil his-duty to his Constituents, both'in
subsiauce and in.form. .As tolls duty towards his
Country,' .and towards the Government chosen by
his Sovereign, all this iveighs not a feather in the
heart or the head of this Writer.

Our. Readers have seen the former of these goes-
tionagitated so often in our Paperi, that we deem
itunneeessary to take a view of it, at any length;
and it
.baS,. in fad, been made so evident, that the
Writer in the itioraiv CbroNide himself has ac-
knowled‘led, in a manner as explicit .as could be
eneded. from hip, that the 'defensive- measures
employed by Government; were sanlioned by cir-

ctimstances, • He now, however, is .violently angry
that Lord NE LsoN should have• been placed at the
head of our N4val Forces in •the Channel, :which
separates us from France; and-according-to him, we
ought, to.. have reserved his Lordship's assistance
until the moment of danger, 'that-is, in plain Eng-
lish, we ought not to have employed his Lord Ship
until the French should have disembarked on our
'Coasts : in other. words, until his talents should
have .become;useless, and Until: there should be a
greater necessity: for the services of our Soldiers
than,of our Sailors, Considering, in faa, the nar-
tow space. whi.ch separates-our Eastern coast from
that of our Enemy, may be said: that an Inva-
sion would belike the suct.len death 'of an
threatened by, prognosticating-symptoms.,
While ' he. is alive, no one can say with certainty.
whether, and 'when, he will die ; but if, from neglea_
.
ing. the means ofPrecaution; he should be struck with
-sudden death, it is then doubtleSsloolate to call in
the physician. Such is the case with respea to the In-
vasion with'which our Enemy now threatens us; the
preparationS of which we may, be' said to see from
our own Coasts, and which-even a few hours May
ripen into maturity,' , When once- this shall-have
taken place,, where will be . the use of the talents
and cotn%,gz of.,Lord NE140:1 ? If by employing:
them before-hand, Ministers prevent the misfortune
which is' to be apprehended, the Aferniag Chrovide'
and its adherents may perhaps say,. that this ails-
..
Lrtune might never have happened, and it will
indeed be impossible to prove to them the•contrary.
'here will be but one means of furnishing them an
tmanswerable.argument on the subje4, which is,.
by taking no,precaution against the Enemy, and by
. -
gisilpg them free:liberty to land at pleasure on our
coas-is; concTive hol,vever. that our Ministers
\you'd feel much great©r pleasure in. preserving their

Ufllry rruin
the Morning Chronicle that it is a false Prophr.:rhe
latter satisfaftion Would indeed cost us too dear;'and.
whatever gratitude. our Countrymen may
the Paper in question, we 'do not
_think they-WilLbe
disposed .to discharge themselves of - this' debt. at
this price. If they are doomed to see their Ene- •
mies triumph, they had rather at all events that it
should be the Morning Chronicle than the French.
Nor has the Writer •in the Paper to which we
'allude been more successful in the second point of his
attack : after having been yesterday led to agree,
that all 'that the Treaty concluded at. peteriburgb
on the 17th of June contained, different from those
which Were formerly made with the Maritime Powers,
was in our favour; he.has found himself not-a little
embarrassed in criticising, this Treaty. As how—
ever the gratification of censure was too great to be
denied him, what has he thought proper to do ?
These advantageous differences to us, lie has
called, certain words .arlinitted into this Treaty
'which were not in any Treaty before. If, -in-
deed, a Treaty is so be made -of any thing but
'words, we must renounce all pretensions to an un,.
derstanding of the manufacture, for we do not know
what is to thenow material of ire—and if the
words of a - Treaty be not of greater effe& than
those of the I,Wornzng. Chronicle 'generally are, we
cannot conceive why this paper should have taken.
-the pains'fo beStow so much observation on those
of the- Convention of l'etersburgh. Pursuing.. how-
ever his daily strain, whic:, he has indeed followed
'with delight, as long as the French were victorious,
this Writer assertS, tha: force alone will give
cacy to this Ireaty.—We are far from thinking as
he does, and we have no doubt that the other three
Contrafling.Patties will be as much diSposed as our
.own GovernMent, faithfully to execute the words of
a Treaty whieh's° perfealy accords with the inte-
rests of all. If, however,' which We sincerely hope
wild never-be the case, things should turn out other-
wise, we, should not be
,wanting in force, any more
than we are in right, and we should do after this
Treaty what we did before it. What. then
does the Morning. Chronicle imagine.that it can ef-
feß by introducing,. so unseasonably, the question of
force, when the subject of discussion is that which
is so very inconsistent with violence as a Treaty ?
We know not what :—he has, however, proved- to
us one thing, that those who abandon, themselves to
'blind rancour, are exposed to the danger of absur-
dity; and. consequently are more likely to repel
Allan to gain Partizans.. What one of the Fathers of
the Church said, 'Credo gala absurdum est, though
it be corre& with respect to the mysteries of reli-
gion, will never obtain currency in human affairs.

Yesterday afternoon Captain You.wd; Of" the
Navy, arrived at the Admiralty with Dispatches
from the Mediterranean.- ',

By the Lisbon Mail of yesterday,- some Letters
of a recent date Were received from Madifra ; bit
they contain no news. The Enklish in that sland
are well satisfied with. the arrangements by which
they are placed untie: the protekkion of this Coun-
try.

We learn that His ,Excellency the Governor- of
the Cape of Good Hope, in'tonsequence of the pre-
sent scatcity of Grain in that Colony, has issued a
second PrOclarnationto the,Fartners, requiring them -
to bring up to market, in Cape -town; whatever
quantity" of Wheat, they may still have to'hand,.re-serving to themselves, for the consumption of their
families, a pr-ovision for three months. A' Com-
mission is to be sent forthwith into. . the Country,
for the purpose of inquiring into the. cause of the
Scarcity; arkl. clete4ing those who- may have occa-
sioned it, there being every ruason tasuppose that
the produCt of the last year's harveSt was a good one.

a proof of the wretched subjedion to which Portu-
gal is reduced, she .is obliged, by the aforesaid
'Treaty, to shut. her Pores against her best friend,
England; and' both of, these High Contratiing
