NAVAL ADMINISTRATION.

.The Earl of DARNLEY gave notice, that he
should bring forward his motion respecting the
r -•.v!Agentent of the Naval Administ►-ation to-

in arrow.

BitITISH TROOPS IN THE NETHERLANDS.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for copies
of nay engal..;ements entered into by this Country,
and any Coin mental Powers, which stipulated for
the maintenance of a British military force on the
Continent—the Treaty to which he alluded, ori-
ginated in circumstruces, which (lid not now
exist. It had reference to the enormous power of
France, which was now humbled—it had refer-
ence to the war with France, which_ was now con-
cluded—and it was calculated to entail an enor-.
D.H;us expeuSe on this country, which ought not
to ~be sanctioned without the most conclusive
proof of its necessi,y. He hoped to convince
the flonse, that there could lie no objec-
tion in point of form, to the production of the
TritilY: Five or six years ago, some Noble Friends
of had moved for a Treaty with America, which
bad not been acted on, and yet the Treaty was
pinduced. He would all Ow. that reasons might
arise to justify the concealment of theirprovisions;
but if ever Chen! was a ease to which these reasoms
coda; not apply, it was the present. This Treaty
twaS not concluded by Ambassadors only, it was
attended by the principals themselves, and after-
wards conartned—hy them. It might give the
Liouse an idea of the expense attenuant upon the
system we were now acting Oil, to inforih them,
on :the authority of accounts made up since the
commencement of the Session, that the excess be-
yond the war establishment, army and navy,
amounted td millionS. With regard to the
Congress, though he did not expect that the
Speech from the Thfone Woutil hd.ve cotnnumicat-
ed "any details, he thought—it would have stated
the principles on which this country was inter-
fering with the Continent. Such a• statement
wa tendered more necessary by the );11Molll'S
that 'prevailed. The destructicat not merely
of Genoa 'tied the Small republies, but ;of the
principal states of Germany " was talked of.
Ills Lordship reprobated the-adoption of such a
sysiem in vet y 'strong terms, and instanced the
case of Poland as a pioof of the consequences
tirat "night result: He then quoted the ..I)clara-
tion of Chatillon, dated March 15,. in which all
vieWs- of aggrandisement were disclaimed by the
Allied rowers. Great 1-3itititin was the natural
guardian of this pledge, Which she was bound by
evety consideration to support. He next allucled
to the case of Saxony, and maintained that if
her existence was to be extinguished merely for
the-pin:it she had taken in the late war; none of
the smaller Stakes of Europe could last long. His
Lordship concluded with moving for copies of the
undertakings, in' conseql;ence of which a British
force was to be kept in pay on the Continent. •
Lord Livniteoor. declined giving any answer on
the topic of the Congress, and the intentioas of the
j\lhed Powers, from a conviction that such.answer
m-ould he inconsistent with the discharge of his
du y. The day of explanation would come, when
Ai Misters would be boUtid testate not only what was
done: tint the principles on which they acted. Ile
thought that all the objects-of the 'notion would

he obtained by giving the substance of Treaty,
which lie had declared himself willing to giVe.
described that policy by whielfa Definitive Treaty
was Concluded at once with France, and the i»te-,
rests of other nations postponed. to the General
Congress, as the best and wisest that could be
adopted. As to the measure of keeping up an
armed force in the Continent, he detentled it not
merely as a compliance with engagements entered
into with our Allies, but on the general gLound
at expediency. Every Statesman acknowledged
the interest which this country had in the protec-
tion of the Netherlands ; and if it was only, with
that view, the measure was vise and necessary,
and consistent with the best interests of the
country.
Lord GRENVILLE maintained that the Consti-
tution of the country required a distinct commit-
ideation. from the Crown to Parliament, on a
measure of such importance, as the maintenance
of 40,00 Q men on the Continent of Europe. Ile
cautioned Ministers against sanctioning the prin-
ciple of partition, from which so much evil had
already resulted to the world, and hoped they
were not doomed to see it registered, and handed
down to posterity—that there was no right but
the right of power—and no law but the rapacity
of ambition.
The Marquis of LANSDOIVN consented to with-
draw his motion, and having altered it so as to
apply to the substance of the engagements alone,
no further objection was wade lay and
thecopy wasortlercd.—Adjourned till to-morrow.

Q(I4S 1/ICF.RE, FALSUNI AUL/EAT ?

LONDON,
TUESD-IY, NOV EMBER 15, 1314.

At a late hour last night, French Papers to the
12th, and this morning those of that date arrived,
but we are atpresent prevented from giving more
than a mere summary of their chief articles. The
marriage of MARIA LOUISA (alluded to yesterday)
is said to be to the King of Prtussta, who takes
the title of Emperor :—Count MUNSTER has re-
commended to the Congress, on the part of the
PRINCE REGENT, that the civil and political
'rights 'which the Germans possessed in former
times, should be restored in the various States
of Germany, as the best means of strengthen-
ing the Thrones of their respective Sovereigns :
There is a foolish story about. Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S
having a Mission to Congress, to procure the
abolition of the Slave Trade, and a Cruzade
against the Barbary Coroirs :—We shall advert
to these topics to-morrow. .-
Letters from Madrid state, that General Ono-
NOJ,HUE, the late Minister of War, is shut up in
a castle ; GIRON, one of the most distinguished
Generals in the late war, has incurred the same

punishment. The Sentences of the. principal Ora-
tors of the Assembly of the 'Cortes are expected
to he immediately pronounced. The departure of
the King for Cis residence at the : scurial, is con-
sider :d as the signal for those punishments, which
maybe thought too rigorous to be: inflicted io the
presence of the Sovereign.
From Vienna we learn that several conferences
have taken place between Lord .CASTLEAEAGH and
TALLEY RAND, :111(1 that some difficulties wh:ch
subsisted have been removed. The Prussian Go-
vernment was to be established in Dresden the
second Week in November. MARIA. I-POI/ISA, of
Etruria, the late Queen of Etruria, and MARIA
LOUISA, of Austria, have, according to the ac-
counts from Italy, both laid before the Congress
their claims to the Duchies of Parma, Placentia,
&c.—The Princess of ISTALEs is expected to reside
some time in Florence on her return from Naples.

The Knights of Malta have strongly urged.their
claims to the Plenipotentiaries at the Congress :
much of their property yet remains to them, and
they hope to have restored to them that which
they possessed in Venice, Lombardy, Spain, Poe-
tirgal, and even that part of their Estates in
France which is riot sold. They have not in
their Memorial spoken ,of the isle of. Malta ; they
only demand the support and-protection of Eng-
land.—The Funds are rising.

e following are the contents of Brussels and
Franl:fort Papers received this morning :—'
" BRUSSELS, Nov. 1 I.—Private accounts from
Vienna state, that the King of PRUSSIA will take
the title of Emperor, to place himself on an
equality with the Sovereigns of Austria and Russia,

" The Chronicle of the Congress announces
that Nuremberg is to be the seat of the German

Confederation.

" Bavaria has been the first to lay its Consti-
tution before the Congress for its approbation,
" Baron STEIN, who,was outlawed by NAPO-
LEON in 1809, has just published a very important
Memoir on the manner in which he has governed
Germany in the name of the Allied Powers.

" CASSEL, Nov. Highness the ELEC-
TOR and ELECTORAL PRINCE are arrived to-day
from Vicuna.

" On,the 31, news was received at ii.amburgh
by express, that the Diet of Norway has recog-
nised his Majesty the King of SWEDEN for Sove-
reign, and that on the 24th of last month they
proclaimed CHARLES Xlll, King of Norway."

The Debates is Rirlimoeat are of considerable
interest, but we have no space.fOr comment. The
answers of Ministers are highly satisfactory.

A Paper of yesterday states, that a Custom-
House Bond for 38,0001. has been put in suit. This
certainly appears alarming at the first view ; hut
we do not believe the fact ; and, if true, the
\\Triter should have added, that whenever there is
any deficiency, even though the duties on that de-
ficiency may not amount to 51., it is necessary for
the law proceeding's that the whole of the Bond
should be put in 'snit. Such proceedings are,
hoWever, instantly stayed on the deficiency being
made good.

it has also been erroneously stated that several
seizmes have been made. This cannot be true,
as the Warehousing Act does not authorize any
skit seizure ; it only enacts that the goods
shall he sold, for which purpose they could not
even he taken possession of until this day.

It is hardly necessary, we trust, to caution our
Readers against these misrepresentations, which
are studiously, calculated to keep our. .of view the
real question, and prevent its merits from coining
before the Public.

BREAD.---ThiS day, the LORD MAYOR Elect or-
dered the price of the Quartern Loaf -for the en-
suing week to remain without alteration.
We had advices yesterday from Ghent to Satur-
day last, and Lenin their charaCter we have ground
for believing that dispatches have arrived from the
United States for the American Commisioners,
which have been conveyed to them through France.
A long note was delivered by them to the British
Plenipotentiaries, which was immediately for-
warded by a Special Messenger to this Court.—
Nothing has transpired here, but the Cabinet
had an extraordinary meeting at the Foreign Office
On Sunday, when, we understand ,- these dispatches,
which were transmitted with unusual rapidity,
were opened and examined.—Morning
It was reported yesterday that the American
Government had rejected the terms a Peace taken
our by the John .Adams, and had made a counter-
proposition.
The Malta and Gibraltar Mail has brought let=
ters from the lest to the date of the 22d, bat there
• are ship • letters to the 25th ult. and they are very
satisfactory. There had been ,no new cases of
fever for-several days, and it was thought that in.
a fortnight, it none subsequently occurred, ap-
plication would be made to re-establish the in-
tercourse. General DON was preparing to land,
and General SMITH was about to ,embark for
England.
BRIGHTON, Nov. 13.—The weather .proving
unfavourable, the PRINCE itEGRICT has not been
out since his arrival.
