received to-marrow.
Sir IV. PUL'I'ENEY said, he rose agreeably
to notice, to rnove for leave to bring in a Bill for
promoting the Cultivation of Potatoes, a measure
by which he apprehended the. Poor-rates would
be much diminished. Hi said it was not his in-
. tendon to propose a measure similar to what had'
~..been already, rejected, .of breaking up of Grass-
lands foi• this purpose it was sufficient: to allow,
the.Cultivarors of Lards to remove difficulties im
their own way.—At the same time, /there was
• evidently a great deal of Unprotinaive Land,
which. :night :he improvid by raising Potatoci in
Autumn, which would prove of particular service
at a time before the new Corn could be threshed
out and brought to market. The Bill was not
...meant to interfere with the other 'Bill for encou.
raging:the growth of Potatoes in coruition Fieldg`.

LONDON, 111A,RC11 25, 1801.

WE are happy in being able to contradia, in
the most positive manner, the indiscreet reports
which have been for some days cii,..ul,ated, of a
suspension in the progress of HIS MAJESTY'S
Convalescence, So far from than being the case,
I-I t s J ESTY, we can assure the Public, is every
day gaining strength, and his health has almost
been brought, to the same poinCat which it was
before his illness.

WE last, night received, By EXPRESS,
Attars to the 2,2 d 'instant. They bring us
few faEts. The Ratification of the Treaty
of Peace concluded at Lai:milk having been
exchanged on the 16th instant at Paris, the
Legislative Body, after having heard a Mes-
sage from the Consuls, which is given in our
Subsequent ,Columns, decreed on the zoth inst.
that the Treaty of Lanmille should be promul.
gated as a Law of the Republic, To this there
was no dissentient voice.

It will be seen by the Letters from the Hague*
which come down to the lull „inst. that the
Plan for the Revision of the Constitution, has
been . übmitted, by the patavian Direlory,
to the Legislative Body, who were to make their
Report on the' 16th instant. Our Readers will
remember, that, we stated in our Paper of Wed-
nesday last, that such a revision waa to take
place on that day ; and at the same time we ex-
pressed our hopes, founded on the information we
had received, that the proposed Change would be
advantageous to the liousE of ORPIGF.
The news froth the Hague. brought by these
Papers tends 'to spew the increased moderation of
the Batnvian Government ; and the circumstance
of an• Amnesty for all political opinions haVing
been proposed to •the Legislative Body, together
with the censure of the existing form of Govern-
ment, may be considered. by ' many as favouring
the probability of some important alteration.
The Emperor PAUIi continues to afford etn,
p)oyment to the Political Speculator. He has, it

will be seen-from the Riga Article, rorbidden all
Exportation to- Prussia, unless the Magistrates
are sufficiently satisfied that the Exports shall;hot,
through the channel of Prussia; find their way to
England. It remains to be seen bow far the
Court of Prussia will approve this interference of
the Autocrat PAUL in the commerce of their
Country.
The votes of the Diet of. Ratisbon, as far as
they have been collated, and of 86 no less thap
76 bad, on the Bth inst. been given, are, of
course in favour of the Ratification of the Peace,
with those modifications which the local interests
of different Members may be supposed to intro-
duce.

An Armistice has been concluded between the
French-Republic and the KING of NAPLES, the
terms of whiCh are to be found in our subsequent
•
Columns.

The number of the Troops under Sir RALPH
ABERCROMBY was; as we yesterday stated, at
the date of his last Letter; i 6,000. We have
the pleasure to learn that it. was then expeded he
would soon be joined by a Regiment of Dragoons
and a Regiment of Infantry. On the probability,
of this reinforcement we can place, much gr•ater
reliance than on that which it was reported he
was to receive from the Bombay Art-ay in the
month of February.

The Force of tfie .French in Egypt, according
to the best information in our possession, is about
Sixteen Thousand Men, including the Native
Troops, whom they have pressed into their Ser-
vice. Egypt •will, therefore, be attacked and
'defended by nearly an equal force, a circumstance -
alone, which would, militarily speaking, make
the Expedition, which, as we have already stated,
was to have been begun in the first days of Fe.
bruary, 'an objeft of great interest. Other cir.
cumstances must have a. greater influence than
even the number of Troops on the issue of the
contest. Though the numerical Force .of the
British, when joined by the above-mentioned re-
inforcement of , two Regiments, will be some
what larger, the advantage is, in. Many respeets,
on the side of the French. They are in posses-
sion of all the principal posts, and have had lei-
sure to fortify them; they are well acquainted
with the Country, and are inured to the Climate.
situation of affitirs would, at first sight,
seem to promise a happy system of defence ; but
examining it in another view, we are led to fOrm
opposite presumptions. In fad, the ignorance of
the French with respeft to the real Milt of attack,
and the essential interest which they have in pre_
renting our Troops froM disembarking at airy
pOint, will force them to Occupy every one ; and
they can only do this by spreading themselves
widely, which must 'Weaken them in every direc-
tion. Sir RALPH ABE ItCROMBIi, by being Matter
of the sea, may keep his Fleet otTthe Coast of Egypt,
may watch the whole extent of it, may succes-
sively threaten it at every: point, and•rnay
ulti-
atriic. the blow'vrittrrc- tiro- ~,rtertly
most weak. We-may, therefore, presume that h,,!.
will succeed in effeaing his diseinharkation, and
in establishing himackf: the. French will, no
doubt, endeavour. to preven't him from conform-
ing and consolidating his power : they will
lea the greatest
'body of force they can against
him, and if they could assemble all, the contest
woe!,. he obstinate and bloody,', and the viftory
l
might, perhaps, be' uncertain. 7 But Sir RALPH
AusRcRoMBY more than one means of pre-
Venting this co-operation of his Enerniei, against
him. Possessed as he is of a superiority of small
Vessels, and of Maritime Resources of all kinds,
he can, -by small Detachments, alarm all the
Mouths of the Nile, caq seed armed Vessels -up
client ; and can, at several places, take post in the
Delta. - The French cannot,' without the greaten
_ risque, suffer him to Cffea these auxiliary enter-
prizes ; and they will cOnsequently be necessa-
rily obliged to make a great number ,6"f . Detach-
ments; ,in order to guard the different branches
of the Nile, ,and the ,Batteries which they must
doubtless have thrown np for the defenceof them.
A still more important diversion' will, however,
render a still greater division of their forces in-
dispensable.
Inferior as the Turkish Army is, both in num-
ber and in discipline, to our Troops 'and to that
of our Enemies, the latter will certainly not treat
it with such contempt as to adopt no precaution
against it. They will at least .gnard the mouth
of El Arisch with a fourth part of their Force,
and they may, perhaps,.not succeed even then in
maintaining themselves there. At all events the
,Troops whom they must leave at that important .
Post cannot by any Means' be employed against
Sir RALPH. We may therefore reasonably flat-
ter ourselves, that as the latter will.have a supe-
riority of men at his disposition, and greater
maritime power, he will succeed in an under-
taking which, whether seccessful or unsuccessful,
cannot be of long duration.
The conjectures which we have here hazarded
appear to us those which it is most natural to
form, with respea to art (skied so remote from
us, and on which we have but very.few corm%
data. Our suppositions have , been formed
upOn the grounds that both parties will 'make
use of all ,the military means in their,. power.
But it is very possible that --this may not be
the case, and that the. Expedition may have
an issue not less fortunate than easily attain-
able by us. The well-foundel fears which the
French have 'long entertained with respea to
the attack preparing against them,' the -discontent
and disgust of the greater part of them, and" the
I. divisions which have been the. consequence, give
us room to'hope that the uneasiness so often' ex-
' pressed in the Meeitarie will prove-well founded,
and that our Enemies will either oppose. Inn a
very feeble resistance, or will even refuse to run
the risque of any contest, and will determine to
.abandon,'hy capitulation, a Country which has al-
;eady been the grave of tee greater part of their
Companions, . ,

`FOURTH REP,

MIRO

fitOM THZ
COMMITTEE OF THE HOCSE OF COMNfONS,

ArPOINTED TO coNiini.it Of
THE PRESENT HIGH PRICE OF PROVISION'.

The Coatutr-r•ez appointed to coeisider of the present
Higll Price of Provisions ; anci to Report the same,
with their Opinion thereupon, front Time to Time, to
the House: • -

flave received information respe&ing the situa_
Lion of certain parts of the Country ; namely, about -
Braintree, Bocking, Halstead, and Coggeshall; itt
the County of Essex; the Parish of Folesbill, near
Coventry; andtheTownships of Dewshury,Ossitt,
Ovenden, Clayton, and Northowram, in the West
Riding of the County of York ;.—to which they
feel it indispensable to call the serious attention.
of the House.—From the extreme dearness of
Prcivisions; Combined with the temporary, and
partial interruption of some branches of manufac-
ture, the pressure- upon the above.mentioned
places is become so great as to require immediate
relief beyond what their own means are in the
present .moment capable of affording. Whatever
mode may be suggested, of applying to cases of
this description, the principal of that Clause in
the
.43d of Elizabeth, by which neighbour.
ing Distrias may be rated in aid, it is pro_
liable that objettions would be found shificient,
if not ultimately, to defeat the measure, at least
to..produce Much delay. The objedions to any
demand. upon the general revenue of the State,
for any 'such purpose, are so obvious, that it is
unnecessary to state them ; and they are felt so
strongly by your Committee, that. nothing but
the pressing exigtincy of the case could have in-
duced them to recommend any deviation from
the general principles; which have hitherto regu_
lated the maintenance of the poor; They trust,
however, that such checks and restriCtions may be
devised, ascertaining and limiting the cases
to which assistance should be extended, and fur
,providing the means of. gradual re-payment, as
will circumscribe, in a considerable degree, the
demand upon the Public in the first • instance
will prevent the burthen'from ultimately falling
upon. the Public'; and obviate the, inconvenien-
cies resulting from so extraordinary an interpo...-1
sition of the .benevolence of Parliament.—Ai:-.:,
soon as they are able to digest a plan for that::i
purpose, which may be applicable to all easel
where the necessity for such an interposition may
be found to exist during the present emergency;
your Committee will submit the same to the
wisdom of the House ; but, in the mean time,
they beg leave earnestly to recommend, that a
sum not exceeding 20,0001. should be granted
to His' Majesty's upon-accoant, to be applied
in such proportions as may appear to be in.:
'dispensably necessary for the immediate assistance
of those places to which your. Committee have
referred,. and of such others as may appear to
he under circumstances of pressure equally ur.
gent. But your Committee not having fully
and. satisfaaorily been able to inquire into all
the circumstances, even of the special cases
above enumerated, are of opinion, That no money
should be issued for the assistance of those places,
or any of them, without the strielest previous
GaintliTisstitioss, t. *idle 67",:t51!
which May' be instituted 'for that purpose, or by
inquiry made upon oath,before Matistrates in the
neighbourhood, and transmitted to the Lords
Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury.—It
is, however,, necessary 'to remark, that the ex.
treme distress of some of these places, renders it
expedient that as little delay as possible should
occur in condueting such investigations.
The Resolutions to which your Committee have
come are as followeth, viz.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee*
that they will proceed to consider under what restrio-
tions it_may be expedient to recommend a temporary ad..
vance of public money to pines in' situations of extreme
and peculiar distress ; that in the mean time, from, the
preient exigency, the Committee think it necessary to re-
- commend, that, with a view to the immediate relief of
certain places, the House should grant to His MAILSTY
such sums as may be domed ne,:esary to be advanced by
way of Loan, for the assistance of :nose places *here the
pressure is most urgent.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of •this Comrnittet-t,
that the money to be advanced by "n, "1141
be re.paid by the Parish, Township,. cc-place, to Which
such Loan shall have been made respeol4llY.

A Board of the Treasury was held yesterday,
at which Mr. ADDINGTON for the first time pre_
sided, and at which Mr. J. H. ADD INGTON tuck
'his Seat as *Secretary to the Board.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIpIQUER is re.
covering, but slowly, from Jtis late severe indism
position.—He has not ventured out except in a
carriage for these two or three weeks.
Mr. RosE has left the Treasury; Mr. LoNO
will remain 'to transa& the Official *business for
some days longer. •
There Is an idea that the Debate upon Mr.
GREY'S Motion will extend to more than one
day. So many and such important ,specches are
expefted upon it, thai were the House to sit it
Out, it probably would not rise till late on the
following day.
