4 VOLIM QUIS DICARZ FALSIJM AUDIAV ?

LONDON, OCTOBER 24,

WE this morning received Paris Papers to the
Its% inst. -.They were brought over in a Vessel,
which was shortly followed by another. In one of
these vessels came Mr. HUNTER, the King's• Me-
ssenger, with DiSpatches from Paris, and a Russian
and Fiendh. Messenger also, with Dispatches for
their rtTeaive Ministers here. The Journals
having now' exhausted !the Treaties concluded be-
tween France and the' different Powers of the Con-
tinent, contain littlethat. is important.—Among
the consequences of the Preliminaries with this
Country, is an order for the restoration of all
English Prisoners. The Minister of General Po-
lice has, by an order prohibiting the Sea of Theo,:
philanthropists to meet_ in any of the National
Edifices, 'virtually withdrawn thevproteaion of the
French Government front this- gang of Atheists.

THE Hamburg?, gails dOe on Sunday and
Wednesday arrived this morning. They have
brought us no intelligence which has
.not been anti.
cipated. The eleElion of the ARCHDUKE ANTHO-
NY to the Elcecorate of Cologne has been officially
announced. The I3atavian and Helvetic Republics
are busily employed in settling their Constitutions.
The former Republic looks, however, with more
anxiety to an augmentation of its Commerce, in
consequence of the Peace "with England, than to the
work of Constitution-making, for little more than
tzoo voted pro or can an the Political Question,

IT is now certain that something to the effeft of

the Third Article of the Treaty between the French
Republic and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, will be
proposed to be inserted in the Definitive Treaty with
this Country—We have reason also to believe that
no difficulty will be made respefting it on the part
of the Chief Consul.-L-We shall look upon such an
; Article in our Treaty as very satisfactory--as a
proof that the wish to disturb dur Government,
one of the principal causes of the War, is totally
relinquished, and it will enable us to take those
steps of precaution, without exciting jealousy,
which we think highly adviseable for the safety and
happiness of. the Country. Approving most sin-
cerely of the Peace, but :differing as essentially as
• we do from some of those who approve it as to the
grounds of that approbation, we shall have to coUL:
bat many points with them, and in whiCh we shall
probably Coi.;cide with those who express the
strongest dissatisfaßion at that measure. We shall

contend that it is no proof of any unfair distrust of
the sincerity of -France, that our Naval and Mill-
i
tary Establishments should be considerably higher.
• •
than they were previous to the War--that the use::
fel and salutary
,institutions of VolunkerCivalry.
and Infantry should not be Suffered to be,discOn:
tinned ; and that measures shourthe adopted, which
may guard against the .danger of principles hbstile
to the British Constitution,
These measures would .argue no suspicion Of de-
ceit on the part 'of the:French Oovermnent---,they
.arise out of the state of.-things--rout Of the changes
which have taken place in the relative situation of
the Countrp—and they Will. he necessary for our
proteefion:—Great Britain 'and France may continue
to- be rivals,. but it is our, wish that the rivilship
should not be kept up in the, spirit of jealousy. and
distrust,—We hope they will emulate each other
in the cultivation of the Arts of Peace---,in the im-

rrovement and extension of Commerce," and in all
those pursuits which have a tendency to render
human life more contented and hapry,—Buf, the
extended influence of. France renders it necessary
that we should, be upon our guard ; and the prin.,"
ciples which have sprung',froin the Revolution,
make it indispeUsible to our safety that our Consti-
tution should be fenced with, and guarded by pre.
Cautions, which would .have been wholly,useless
had not that Retolution, we ertainly do not say.
, established,•but set zfloat opinion:, the most perni,
cious to the welfare of every, well-constituted Go.
vernment. .

It is true; bovOver, that we haVe not the same
fear of those,principles wilieh we felt-hoae time Tago.
Time and experience have rendered the Othavagant
folly and the danger of them pretty clear to the,l6,_
habititnt& of this country—and, by wise prceaution,,
tliat experience hzs' been obtained without any of
the hortor3 to which r11e4531T53 founded CM such

principles, too certainly lead.—We have had no
Noyad,es, Mitraillades, Fusillades, or Guillotines ;'
and ii any persons in. this. CoUnt-ty. adopted the
principles to which we allude,- from convidion, we'
believe they have seen enough of their effeas to in:
them to abandon them, and they are left to the
small band of•the disaffeCied or treacherous part'of •
the Commun ty .—Whe the r Jacobinism is, or is., not,
extinft in France, this is not atiint for us to dis-
cuss ; but certain we are that its doftrines are neither
aeted upon, nor encouraged, by its present Govern-
ment. These are reasons for dreading them less
than formerly, but they are no reasons for not adopt-
ing precautions which, while they
.effeaually secure
us from danger, do not infringe upon the invaluable
liberties and privileges of Britons.
We speak the sentiments of some of the best
disposed men in the Country, in recommending to
the attention of Government these considerations.
We are prepared to heac the objedions of Mr.
Fox to any precautions, but we eneft also to find;
that the effect of his opposition will be, the more
certain adoption of the measures which are the
subject of his diSahAprobation.

GENERAL-DECRES has had the • satisfatc.lion to
reckon among the first 'of the labours of his Admi-
'
nt:str4tion, 'the formal order to send home, to Eng-
land/Al the Prisoners of War of that Nation. Those
who are in France upon their Parole, or separated
from their Countrymen by any motive whatever,
may address the Maritime Authorities, or, if in the
Interior, the Civil Authorities, in order to obtain
the Passports necessary for repairing to the Ports
whence they are to return home. These Ports are
Calais and Idarteilles. -

The. Minister of General Police has transmitted
an order from Government to all the Prefeas, for.
bidding the Societies known under the name of the
Theophilanthropists, to meet in future in any Na-
tional Building.

ttcn, Councillor of State, and Rear-Admiral LA.

The Getman Papers seem to entertain doubts
whether the Deputation of the Empire, to whom it.
is referred to terminate the long pending affair of
die. Indemnities, will meet at Ratisbon: They
think that the place of assembly will'be nearer to
Path, now become the centre of Negotiations.

cALAI,, OCT. ig.--WeNere this morning asto-

"iiished by a Battle, which will probably be the
French Privateer belonging to a neighbour-
port., 'regretting .no doubt the cessation of hoSti-
' lities, and wishing to sake advantage of the twelve
days allowed for Prizes, putto..sea to make a last
rifort.. _She
_could,. pot, have been ignorant of the
Peace, for it:-.was only yesterday that she sailed
.ft6m this POrt...' Having bee's met by 'an Eng-
lish Carter, was pursued, and warmly attacked.
• The Privateer vainly hoped .to escape, and to put
herseif underthe proteClionolour two Forts. The
. •
Engitsh vigorously pursued them, And in spite of
the fire from. the shore, gave her
.two broadsides.
The 'rriv-ateer got into shelter under one of our
Forts, and the tnglish wait the return of •the' tide
•
to attack her,. when she shall
-endeavour to re-enter
this Port. The. whole - town were on the shore
to see the issue of this. fight.-

• it-would puzzle ..a plain-.honest man ,to discover

terminated as it has done, for a new, :in-d accord-

has arisen in the North, which, by its preponder-

that balance .which was essential to pacification.
This is no other than Deninark, which, after cele';.
