fptPEDI'iION.

Lord H4IVKESEURY said, that an Hon.
Gentleman had givenUbtiee of a Motion 'for this
day, respeting the Expedition to kerrot, but•as
,two Right Hop,,Gentlemen t Mr. PITT and Mr.
.DuNDAs), werennavoidahly alisent, one of whom
w. 1,, from hi 4 situation, particularly -concerned
in the question,' he 'hoped the Hon. Gentleman
;would have no objettion to put off his *Motion
for a few days.
111 r. STURT said, the present was an occasion
,upon which every person ought to attend, and as
:to the abscnce of the two Right Hon. Gentlemen
who had .been' alluded to, he lamented sincerely
'the cause of their absence. But theri were
others of His Majesty's Servants, and also Offi-
cers- engaged in, the Expedition, present, who
'could give him every necessary
_information.
.11,• however, it was the general wish of the
Home that the Motion should be postponed, he
had no objeetion to putting it off for a very short
time.
Sir
.TAMES PULTENErsaid, nobody could
be more. anxious for the discussion of this point
than hc wA, but it would be, affectation in him
to say, that ,a delay of two or three days would
make Any very essential difference.

- -
Mr. RYDE,R, said, that the Hon. Baronet
must undoubtedly be very anxious for the discus-
sion Of. the Question, but so short a delay as the
one proposed, could certainly be of no imports
atke. The' Honourable Gentleman whose Mo.
tion stood for this day, certainly descried great
credit for his readiness 'to 'comply with the
NvisLes of the House. It t2vas, not mere4', upon
the ground of the aceidental-absenee of his two
Right Hon. Friends that this delay was Proposed,
because it had been known for years that they
were not in 'the habit of shrinking' front the dis:
' cussion of Questions. If this could- in any
degree tend, to place the Hon. Gentleman,. wlio
had.given 'make of the Motion in a more disad-
vantageous situation, he v.:rtainly would 11,4
,ask
him to postpone it.; but the- Hon. Gentleman
must feel, that there Were , sOnie,fircurusiarices
about which it' would 'be improper 'for hitt) to
speak, but which were notorious to every Gen.
tleman pthent, which.lo to thejr6ent applica-
tion' to postpone; the Motion. Under these
cumstanees, .h 6 hoped. it • would be the • general
sense of the House thatit ought not to be brought
forward this day.

CQM-MISSION.

The Hotise was required to attend in the
House Of Teets, where His MAI Es:ri's Assent
was given by Cornmission to the Bill for .sus.
pending-part of the New Bread Bill.
, Upon the return of the'SkAKER,
Mr": STURT agreed to puroff his Motion till
Thursday next.
Mr. GREY said, it really seemed to him that
the deliberations of that Hbuse ought to be, re-
sumed, which had been interrupted in a most
extraordinary manner, and he believed that the
House would concur with him in chinking, that
there ought to be aninquiry into the. State of the
Nation. The dangers with which the Country
was threatened• were hourly increasing, and top
much dispatch could not be tisectin going intO the
necessary Inquiries. Allusion had been:made to
the rumours which had been in circulation these
two days, and that was the grsiund upon which
his Hon. Friend had been requested to }nit off hit
Motion ; and under all the circumstanced he
thought his Hon.'Frierld was botind in candour to
•ait -as he had done. He hOped, however, the
Right Hon. Gentlemen would attend, and that
the :Inquiries would , take place. He merelY
at• present wished to give .notice, thaton Mon.
day next he, Should move fdr an Ingetiry #t to
0
the State of the Nation.

that his Right Hon. Friend was to state' the Ways

Mr. GREY said it was not probable that the
Debates upon the Army and Navy Estimates
would be so long as to prevent his Motion front

it is that which the best informed persons on the
Continent entertain. The French Politicians
have themselves even acknowledged the truth of
it, by translating and commenting upon what we
have written on, the' subjeet.
The most important objetl to France itself is
that which concerns the late conspiracy against
,the Chief Consul. Like the former plot, it had
been ascribed to the Jacobins. Since that time,
however, either its nature has been better under
stood, or the Chief Consul, desirous, like the
Direftory, of rendering both parties not less
hostile to one another than they are to himself,
has set it down to the account of some Royalists,
and of our Government. We shall certainly
not stop to refute this charge. No one can
suppose that assassination ever entered into
the plan of our Administration. It appears
that these two Conspiracies, and the dis-
turbances -to which all parts of Ptance have
been subjeCled; have made a lively impression on
fite.Chief Consul, and that he has felt an urgent
necessity for strengthening, his authority. All
his measures appear to conduce solely to this end.
The redaction of the number of. Justices of the

='eace',"the creation of Special Criminal Tribunals,
the esOlishment of more than twenty 'Military
Commissions, the Guards allotted to all the Pub-
lic-Tages, and the multitude' of skirmishes
and arrests which have taken place in the diffe-
fent Departments, she at once .the extent of the
evil, and the efforts which have been Made to re-
medy it. We have already had occasion suffici-
ently often to consider this subjed, to render it
• •
unneessary• for us to shew, as has been done in
the Tribunate and Legislative Body, the difficul-
ty under which the Chief Consul will long
labour in his endeavours to bring back the French
to the habits of sacral and political order. •

FOREIGN INTEL-LICENCE.

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM t7I,I,'ER SAXONY,
DATED JAN. 25, 1801.
NOTWITHSTANDING the reports which are
daily in circulation, respeling the signing of
. Preliminaries of Peace bet veerr the EMPEROR and
France, the most efleftual measures of defence
which the Country admits of are continued in
those parts of the Austrian dominions, of which
the French are not yet in possession. Except,
' howeVer, the EmPEROR makes up his mind to
resign his Capital. to the pillage of the Enemy,
he seems to have no other alternative, than to
- accept the hard conditions which are held out to
him by his presumptuous and insulting foe. An
. Armistice has been concluded in Italy, of which
the Terms are not yet known. It is said, how-
ever, that Mantag and Pesehiera are to be deli-
, vered up to the French, and that the Austrian
Army will retire behind the Etscb.
Little hopes are now entertained of an accom-
modation between England and the NOrthein
Powers. The Treaty of Neutrality concluded in
17So, is said to forth the basis of the present
Confederacy. The KING of SWEDEN, in ac-
cepting from the EMPERDR, when at Petertburgh,
the Cross of the Grand Order of Malta, recog-
nizes his IMPERIAL MAJESTY as Grand MOW.
FREDERICK WILLIAM 111. at this moment,
seems to have the same plan in view, in conjunc.
tion wiili Russia, which his father, in the Turk-
ish War, had in conjunilion with England, name-
ly, to force, if possible, the contending parties
to a Peace; and LUCIIESiNI is said to be now
occupied with the same objeds at Parisi which
he effeaed in te9o,at Reicheehach. The policy
of this Monarch at the conclusion of a Peace,
will be founded upon a 'principle of Territorial
Aggrandizement. Some people, who, on a re.
trosped of the past politics of that Court, ima-
gine, that he will not be very nice in finding
equivalents to those Princes, whose Territory
he may render subservient to his plan, suppose
that his dominions will then be considerably ag-
grandized, as well as united.. The Hamburghers
already consider themselves as Prussian subjects.
—This idea has tended very much to damp the
commercial ppirit which formerly prevailed in
that town. There is a general despondency
among the Merchants, which does not rest upon
the instability of credit, as it did last year, but
which proceeds from a fear of the consequences
likely'to result from an-entire change of political
situation.' The first houses are diminishing as
much as possible, the scale of their business, by
dropping as many of their Foreign connections 'as
they can. By the rounding system, it is said,
that 'Celle and iuneabtrg will be attached to the
Prussian territory, and that the ELECTOR of
HANoVER will get Heidtiheim and OtnaLmrs, by
way of indemnity. A number of changes of a
similar nature arc talked of. Allralong the Line.
of Demarcation, the Prussian Troops are station--
ed in great numbers. In small towns, contain,
ing'from 6 to eOOO inhabitants, there is an equal
- number of Troops. The people, 'notriviehstande
in the.burthen to which, on this account, they
are necessarily subjeaed, seem tole'e -satisfied.—
The"), say they pay dear fd'r protcaion, but that a
visit' from the French would cost them dearer still,
