LONDON, OCTOBER 14, 1801.

THE London Gazette of last night contains a
Pro.:larmition, declaring the Cessation of Hostilities,
as well by Sel as by Land, and enjoins. the due
observance of the Articles of the, Preliminaries
wh;ch relate to Such Cessation. It ,

two Orders of Council, the one announcing that
Passes will be delivered as soon as they can be in-
terchanged, for Ships, Goods, and Merchandize :
the other direaing the Bounties on Seamen, and
the Rewards for discovering Seamen secreting them.
selves, to be discontinued. The most laudable di.
ligence is employed by Ministers in the reduetion
of every species of Expenditure which the War oc.
casioned, and its beneficial effeas already begin to
be felt by the Public.

We yesterday stopped the Press, to announce the
receipt of Pari: Paper: to the j t th inst. and to notice
their chief contents. They have brought us -tile
Treaty concluded on the 29th tilt, at Madrid between
France and Portugal. The Articles stipulate, that
hostilities are to cease in a limited time in the differ-
ent parts of the world : That British Ships are to be
excluded from the Ports of Portugal, and that coon.
try is not to furnish any succours to the enemies of
France: That the limits between French and Por-
tuguese Guiana are in future to be determined by
the river Carapanatuba, which empties itself into
the Az.-azons : and, That a Treaty of Commerce
shall be entered into, by which the Subjeets
of the two Powers are to enjoy all the Privi-
leges of the most favoured Nations : The Mer-
chandize of each is to he admitted recipr9cally, and
without being subjeeled to any duty which shall
not attach upon Merchandize imported by other
Nations ; and French Cloth is to be imparted into
Portugal on the footing of the most favoUred
chandize. The nature of this Trei;tY would be
sufficient, if there were no date to guide us, to shew
that it had been concluded before the Preliminaries
were signed with this Country. It is obvious that
it is by a reference to the latter rather than the for-
mer, that every question between the French and
Portuguese Government will be decided.

The CHIEF Coxsvt. seems resolved that no latent
war shall destroy his title to pacific fame, and we
are, therefore, told, that peace is expeded to he
immediately proclaimed at Paris, between France
and Russia. It might be asked with astonishment,
by those who had attended to the political events of
the last year only, what hostility a Treaty be-
tween these two Powers was to 1 put an end to ?
There will certainly be less difficulty in the Nego-
tiation than his occurred in that which has been
carried on between thil Country and Vrance. The

n. r c Grertionent To extingu
the least spark of War, is a cirqrnstanCe however',
to which we cannot hut look with pleasure.
The Diet of Ratisbon contirtue their labours, atl4
the result of them was to appear in the shape of 3
CentikitinT on the zd inst.

TKE ilamburgk Mail which became due this

The Dtme of c+OUCRSTFR, we were happy yes-
terday to learn, was considerably better than be had
been for some days before.
Mr. PI TT was not at Lord HA.WKESDURO

Lord CHATHAM, Mr. ADDINGTON, Lord HERVEY,
Mr. H. ADDINGTQN, and Mr. HAmmaNr., anj
several Ladies.

definitively settled.

The First Division of the Rifle Corps, marched
through London yesterday, on their way to Chelnls.
ford Barracks, under command of Lieut, Colonel
MICHAEL ROSS.

Lieutenant_Colonel THOMAS BROWNR IgG, Of
the 3d Foot, (atling Deputy ()garter Master Gthe,
ral) is appointed Quarter Master General in Ire-
land, vice CRAT.IFOILD, appointed Adjutant Gene-
ral to the King's Troops, in India.
We cannot but consider the disbanding the Vo-
lunteer Corps, without the express permission of
Government, as extremely precipitate and improper•
This is aForce which has been of suchessential ser-
vice to the Country, that we should be sorry to seP
it, even in Peace, entirely given up.

Yesterday a Court of Diredors was held at the
East India House, whieli.adjourned at five o'clock
till this day.
Windsor Castle, last night, and the whole towns
were brilliantly illuminated.

Sir Pococxe's Illuminations, at his Scat
at Maidenhead, on Monday evening,:were so hril,
liant that they . were seen at Windsor, and othf
parts. A vast number of people assembled, to, vied
the splendid decorations. Some beautiful Firework.
were also displayed from the loyal Baronet's house 4
Marquis. de So4LY, at his residence at Arling-
ton, near Cranford Aridge, had seventy dozen of
coloured lamps, interspersed with the Royal Armor
On the evening the tows, 9f the Peace was re 4
ceived at St. Alban's, the tiflowager Lady SPENCER'
caused to be ereded at the fro ,t of 4r—house an
exaa.represgutation of the clocor of the entrar.o
into the venerable Abbey of St, Alban's,t under tho

On Sunday morning, the- Mail coach entered
Birmingham, drawn by six horses, with flags
suitable paintings, with a number of persons 00
horseback preceding it, and followed by a numeroul
body of people, some, of whom went four or fivc
miles to meet it. The news of the Ratification %v as
of course received with rapture,' and on Monr;tat
night there was a general illtimination,

We are_sorry to state, that during the rejoicing,
firing, illumination, ecc. on Saturdays in Birminp,
ham, a man on discharging his piece, unfortunatcll
killed dead upon the spot a poor boy, of about ij
years of age.
On Friday last, as the Colliers in the Pool $ll,
Plymouth were firing a Royal Salute, on account 0
the Peace, the shock was so great that it broks
vv seral windows on the parade, dislodged almost als
the slates of the front of a house, and destroyed a vas;
quantity of earthenware in a shop_ near the Quay.
• M. PITO understands the English language so
well, and speaks it so perfeetly, that he may very
readily pass, for a native of this country.
Lauristce, the estate formerly of the family of the
General who brought over the Ratification of the Pre-
liminaries, lies only about a mile to the south of
Edinburgh. The Gentleman in the City, with who'll
he dined on Monday, is, we are informed, Ilia
brother. in-law.

Mr. Fox has got himself into that dilemma is
which his want of judgment has often involved hikrxe
He has approved of the Peace, but condemns the
means that led to it—those vigorous Measures, aitj
the. glorious Successes which attended them, both
under the late and the present Administration.

The EMPEROR, accompanied by the Emra,ss:
arirl the GREAT DUKE, &c. set off from Petersburg"
on Saturday the lath of September, for Moscow.
The EMPRESS DOWAGER was to follow on Sol'
day evening. None of the Court travel on MondaP
as that is supposed an unlucky day.
The road to Moscow is not good. The paved
or raised part of it is reserved exclaisively for th!
EMPEROR. Others must drive along by the sip!
of it in the dirt, almost two feet deep, to the danger
of being overturned into a marsh. Lord ST. HELEN 5
has taken a house at Moscow, and laid in provisioni;
Those who go from curiosity, carry provisions wite
them, as it is doubtful whether they can pro":
sufficient supplies on the road, or at Moscow.
It is said that the EM sitPEROR of RUSSIA was
being drowned just before his departure for IVl°s°
cow.

The lightning and torrents of rain were so tree
mendous throughout Hertfordshire, and part
Essex, on Saturday night, that most of the inhabl;
