Yesterday the Vetrzca Itr.4r,t4T met his rarlia-
ment in an era of triumph and glory scarcely '
paraleled in British history, and amid the efful-
gence of events which leave dispersed the gloom of
twenty years, and opened to our view the happy
prapect of returning order in the moral and pa-
world. Sounds to whichsonr ears have been
long Unaccustomed now come anon us, not in the
shape of idle speculations or vain wishes, but as
indicating the natural effects of the present
tendency of affairs; and . the almost certain re-
sults of those stupendous change:; which
have taken place in the condition of the Continent.
baianci of power in Europe is no longer a
phantasma, it is the object which ull Europe bus
now immediately in contemplation', and which,
thank Heaven I there is no single Power in Europe
able to resist contrary to the wish of the rest.—
When this balance eotnes to be adjusted, there
will, no doubt, arise numerous differences of opi-
nion, and many diffulties ; but we have every
reason to he satisfied, from the perfect un-
derstanding which exists among the Coalesced
States, from the enlarged and liberal policy which
individual misfortune has taught them to acknow-
ledge as the only general and safe principle of
action, troin the conviction they have acquired
of the unaltered and unalterable aims of BuoNa
PARTE, from the proven inefficacy of further Gallic
intrigue, from the indissoluble, bond of union.into
which 3 clf-preservvion, the strongest of all im-
pulses, has drawn thane-from - all these circurn-
stances, we.say, we have reason to be satiAied that
this, most important subject will be discussed in
that friendly tone and temper, and settleo on :those
broad and solid bases which, prelet:Ting the weal
of the Whole to the advantage of any Part, will
place the earth in a state of narmony and repose,
and happiness, and peace, to endure for a longer
period than it has been afflicted by the calamities

the English Nation is only great Whert it sheers the
same equanimity in prosperity as it has shown firM-
ness in adversity ,and by adheringwith unmoved con-

it bad proclaimed to the world, proves to the
world that its object is ft.: pure as its character is
exalted. Britain has fought for the independence
of other nations—well may she now assert, that
she has no interests separate from the just re-
establishment of equality among the Continental
Powers—no views of conquest for bersel."--
no hostile intentions against the integrity
of France—no designs but those of sec:ur.
ing the liberties of the States she La, res-
cued from oppression, and conti'rining the inde-
pendent Governments with whom she is allied in
that possession of strength which is necessary to
,place them on a level with any inimical nation,

The paragraph in the Speech which has ;It-
tracted most regard and approbation ►s the follow-
ing ; perhaps 'because every one puts his own con-
struction upon.it

" No dispositinh to require from. France sacrifices of any
description inconsistent with her honour or just pretensions
as'a nation, will ever be on my part, or on that of his Ma-
jesty's Allies, an obstacle to peace.—The restoration of that
great blessini3., him principles of justice and equality, has
never ceased to be my anxious wish ; but lain fully,convinced,
that it can only be obtained by a continuance of ,those efforts
which have already deliVered so large a part of Europe from
.•
the power of the enemy."

These being the avowed princiiiles on which

the Government of this country has invariably
acted since the breaking out of the French Revo-

lution—we arc not averse to seeing them repeated
and thus solemnly re-asserted. At such a crisis
the effect must be good. But we. have • (aud we
speak us individuals) the strongest objections
,to

the sense codeayoured to be engrafted upon them
by the Opposition Party in and out of Parliament.
Tf, as they contend, it is meant that we consider
BUONAPARTE as identified With the " France "

here spoken of—then, to our minds, the dis-
position expressed as favourable to Peace is not
the disposition entertained either by our Rulers or
by the majority of the people.

Surely we are not so lost to the feeling of every
sacred moral obligation—surely the sentiments
of humanity and justice and virtue are riot so ut-
terly extinguished in British hoscans as to induce
us to co►►template peace with a BUONAPARTE, and
peace with a llowthon as sYnonymous ! Are we
become so unprincipled ►►nd so .destitute 9f every
righteous quality as to- be ready to enter i►ito
the .same terms of amity with a Villain and
a Murderer as we would with an upright and
a lawful Monarch, taught moderation in the
school of suffering, and inured 4) probity, and
honesty, and forbearauceatutd justice, by the bitter
seasoning of a long adversity.—But even were

we so wicked as to yield implicitly to this

vile course—lire we 'so foolish ; if we had lost
the aptitude for purity of mind, are we so politi-

cally blind, and so outrageously ignore/tit, as
the concession of this base position world imply
We imagine not. We imagine there is no real
Statesman in this country who is not fully semi-
Me of the mighty difference between Peace with
France under the dominion of her present Tyrant,
and peace with France were the right and old order
of things re-established—We could afford 'more
power to a BOURBON than to a fIuowArARTE dynasty
—we Couhlallow the former much without danger,
which we could not suffer the' latter to posiess
without enaountering the most imminent peril,
and exposing ourselves to endless.ri3ks, and un-
teasing expenditure to guard against surprize.

From their low estate the Bodanow Princes
would be amply satisfied with ancient France, and
amply employed in re-organizing and restoring that
once beauteous kingdom. But will any situation
to which BUONAPARTE may for the Moment be corn-
pelted to submit satisfy him for the power and do-
minion of which he must be stripped--will ancient
France and Italy, and Holland together, satisfy
him 1 No man acquainted with human nature will
answer, Aye. The difference then is between a
legitimate Monarchy desiring no foreign con-
quests, and a despotic usurpation, only spurred to
more desperate attempts for the subverston of
Europe, by the rankling spirit of defeated am-
bition.

We do not mean to inculcate interference with
the iutcrnnl regulation of France further than this,
that if. France prefers a form of Government
which in its essence is dangerous to the liberties
of Europe—Europe must endeavour to deprive her
of the power to injure .—Above all things we wish
to separate the two points (not connected but by
our own factions)—the interest of France front
the interests of lIIJONAPARTL It is the duty of
the Confederates to enable the people of France to
suptt out and declare their sentiments—then if

they lore the rule of clime and •Buosior
their efficiency to afflict the world must be
diminished— if they elect the sovereignty of
rice and Bounnolst, they may be safely entrustePl
with all the authority and weight of France, as
she originally stood, a great and powerful nation.

The AddreSs in the House of Peers was moved
by Lord DlGRY,eand seconded by Lord Ct.san, iii
an able and excellent Manner. In the Commons Lord
Comrrox and Arr. C. GnNur were. the Mover and
oSecondcr ; and, we rejoice to say, that their several
speeches gave great promise of future Statesmen to
Britain. There was not, (as there could notbe) any
opposition. Mr. lirnrraurtan fastened upon the
81'1:AKER, as. there 'Tax nothing in the state of our
affairs congenial to his mind, am! Lord MoRPETIT,
one of 'the Talents heroes of the North, gave a
notice on the same subiect.—The admirahle speech
which has enrit!arc(i Mr. ABBOTT to his codary,
will therefor,. come under Parliamentary discussion
after the Recess.

A most. interesting Gorman Bulletin, dated Ver-
den, and bringing (fowl the accounts from the
Scat of ‘var one day later than Sir C. STEWART,
is given in a succeeding column. It states, bow-

ever, no new facts of importance, except that
the King of. S;Axovr had sqr.t a flag of truce on
the morning of trot I at 11, whkio was very properly
regarded <ts a ruBo of 1;01/NAP.,',11TeS, and treated
necordingly.—The drowni!lg Of PoNTATOWSE.I and.
the capture of MACrip'.4ALD and MAamos'r are ye-
peated.

We have received the following f. cm Deal, and
indulge iu the sanguine hope, that the expectation
it expresses may soon be converted into, certain-
ty. We perfectly agree with Lord GRENVILLE
on the subject of Holland :

" DEAL, Nov. 4.—The Telegraph last night
announced the glorious tidings of the ever-me-
morable Vietoriekof the Allies over the French
Despot, and ,at the same time communicated an
order for the fleet under Adiniml YOUNG to pr;:-
pare for sea immediately. The Oflieerswere prin-
cipally on shore at a play desired by Admiral
CROWN, the Commander of the Russian fleet now
in the Downs, but in a moment the Theatre was
quitted, and all was bu,tle and anxiety to getion
board. It is expected that the Dutch fleet in
the. Texel will follow the impulse by which tie
Dutch people areknown to be actuated, and de-
liver itself into the protection of the Brithh.—
Great events arc expected by the Naval, world
thereabouts."

On Wednesday we submitted to the public the
substance of a letter from off Halifax, which stat-
ed, that the little squadron which the Canadians
had equipped on Lake Erie, bad been vanquished.
by tbe Americans under Commodore PERRY, after
a gallant resistance, and We yesterday observed,
that no official accounts bad been received to en-
able us to controvert this minor but disagreeable
intelligence. For, although such an event could
have little or no effect upon the principal war on
the Niagara frontier, or generally on important
points, on Lithe Ontario, it is calculated, if true,
to embarrass the operations on the side'• of Detroit,
on the Miami, and at Sandusky, all at the western
extremity of Ede: Our squadron is said have.
consisted of Le Drvit, of 19 ; Queen charlotte, of
17 ; Lady Prevost,' of 13 ; Minter,
,of ; and
Little Belt, of three guns. Our loss in :the en-
gagement: is not mentioned, but that of the Ene-

my, as we have already said, is estimated at 27
killed, and '96 wounded. His force consisted of
two ships of 20 guns each, and six smaller vessels,
'viz. the Lawrence awl Niagara ; the Caledonia,
Somers, Ariel, Tripper, Scorpion, and Porcupine.

Oui• intOrmant dues not state from what source
he has derived his information—whether British
or American—and in the degree of do►►bt which
this consideration involves, we must leave the
matter, having given the news as it reached us,
and neither vouching for its correctness, nor cast-
;lig any imputation upon its veracity.

Lord CASTLERPAGII had au audience of die
PRINCE RE° ENT yesterday, previom to his Royal
Highness going to the flotie of Peers.
The illuminations are to begin this evening:—
It was found inconvenient to begin at the fior=e-
Guards and other Public Offices yesteiday, the
preparations would have interfered with the pro-
cession of the Pet I I? cuns-r to the Ifouse of
Lords.

Alarshal BERESMAD has been four days at Lis-
bon. His pw poie v co recruit for the army,
and, it is said, he has succeeded in obtaining:sooo

men.

On 'Wednesday the important intOligence from
Leipsic Was communicated by TdegrAph to Ply-
mouth, for the purpose of being forthwith con-
reyed to Lord WELLINGTON.
Yesterday being the Vete of CARtos, the Spani•b
Ambassador gave an elegant enterte.inment at his
Villa at Chiswisk (it being his Excellency's Chris-
thin name), to a large-party of Spaniards and
English Noblemen. In the evening, some of his
friends, tmliba.v to him, prepared a grand dis-
play of fire-works, transparencies, &c. After
which fonowed a grand ball and sauner.
