French Papers to the 24th have,,, it is sjli`i'
reached Town. We have not -received unY ifl
formation respecting the:e contents. 'The Vee'r:b
Funds continned to rise on the 23d, owing to t"
prospect .of Preliniinaries of Peace being sbortil
signed.. -

The repose of the present day is scarcely 155'
turbed even by rumour, and ther9 is no in: fws °
importance from any quarter. Indeed, the 00',
food upon which the greedy appetite of speOl'y
tion has fed for the lass three days, has been
various modifications of the statement containd
in the Second Edition of this Paper on Friday WI.;
wherein we 'mentioned the, report, which b'''
reached us from the 'opposite Coast, of anothe(E
Battle having taken place within seven league;
Troyei; in which the Enemy again claimedll'e-
advantage, and asserted that -the Allies I°4
fifteen thousand men.. Our Readers will recbllect'
that we, at .the same time, gave our teasonS f"r
doubting the validity of this information, on PC'
count of its being propagated on Settling INF rtt
'the Stock Exchange. It is remarkable,
ever, tbaCnothing has since transpired either to
rem
fute or confirm this rum Our. On the 'lst of March'
we are without later public Wtelligence fr"( 9
Paris than the 22d, though, during the period
at
which the Tyrant was achieving his late succeses'
not a day
,passed Without some arrival to °II'
nounce and magnify them. May we hope, 101°
this silence, that his affairs are not so prosperoos'
or so capable of being represented as' prosper°lls'
at this moment, as they were a•week- ago '
Letters front Paris, of the 23d, do not menti°:,
any fresh Action, though it was rumoured io

peculiar force, I.).!cause the 'report of FH,!"!"
to which we have already alluded, , stated tb°
Action to have been fought "Sept Lieues (-k
l'autre Me. de Tioyes," which we, believing to
a mistake, rendered' in our tninslatiod, '' sever'
leagues froin Troyes." This certainly aiErrils
presumption, that there may be some better
foundation for the rumour of another battle in
direction, than either we or the Public have V=t
been inclined to believe. A few hours umst,..llo‘c'

- 'a
ever, solve this doubt, and we therefore reft'au
from further remark, leaving the Public, in t4e-
meantime, to form its.own opinion on the facts
we have stated.

Mr. ROBINSON; it will be seen by our Nras
News, sailed from Dover yesterday morning f°'
Caiaisin the Nymph cutter, charged with the I).°`
vision 'of our Cabinet, on the late itnportaPc
Communication from Lord CASTLEREAGH. UlOl
this vitally momentous' subject, of which so littler
is known out of the pale of that nigh off'
vial circle, who ave. bound
.by their baths 00c
to divulge their information, we have essays, 01
assertions, and speculations, in a proportion e:(6.
actly equal in an inverse ratio to the ignorance "t
the writers. Those who are not acquainted with
a syllable of the matter,, state facts positivelY'
and go into the utmost length of co:cake:lt;
while those
.who, by watching-countenances,
picking up- loose expressions, think they :have
'caught a glympse of what is going on behind trie
Curtain,
,commit themselves to: direct alleglatio':•s
more guardedly, and reason with all becoui:;v;

There ne'ver *existed in a nation a sentiment
more universal than that which, to their honour,
animates the British People,,and renders thim loud
in the expreSsion of abhorrence at the idea of a
league of friendship and amity with the vile and
bloody Despot of France. There is no honest
11',11.4te.indIvidual, far less any Minister in a pub-
lic station ; there is no than of common under-
- ta'itling, far less- any. Statesman, who ean, by ,
Possibility, say, that he voluntarily and from
Preference desires a Peace with BOON APARTE. at-
4"lowlecigint.; hint Head of a mighty Empire,
arms to his hands, and sealing the
hharneful compact with -sacrifices on the part of
l'-dngland. Such a doctrine is worthy of being
Itistained by the disloyal faction, who have al-
lt'aYs, loved, admired, and served the Tyrant ; by
• those who have alwaya rejoiced over the disasters
(*)f their native !and, and exulted in the successes
tir °lir Enemies; but it is too atrocious to be sup-
Ported by one good Subject or patriotic Briton.—
l'eelinr,f, therefore, as all must feel, an almost
44e°oquerable repugnance to an agreement
'with B(rONAPARTE Ministers have entered into
4 Treaty with him, for which they are praised
13
the Opposition, and arraigned by some
; their usual supporters with nearly equal
44" ice ; for neither are acquainted with the
:tr"nds on which they have proceeded. What

t'restnne, -tbe policy and necessity of the case

11'4' the Country, and demonstrate that we could

‘)4"selves, single-banded, against the sense of

tr)".ate that we could have no legitimate object for
ts continuance, of war, could propose no. adean-
ta'oge to ourselves from it, and could not expect
`4l'l'y it ,to a fa‘'onrable issue ; the Country will
pronounce that " they have acted wisely and well."
