to execution of the orders of his Majesty, cone
tained in his letter written from his Imperial. Camp
of Pultusk; of the 31st of December, 1806, to the
Bishops of the Empire, his Eminence the Cardinal
Archbishop of Paris waited on his Serene Highness
the Prince Archchancellor of the Empire, to concert
With him for the execution of his Majesty's 'orders.
It it in consequence deterti'iined, that the Te Deem
Shall be sung in the Metropolitan Church, on Sun-
day the 25th instant, precisely at twelve o'clock ;
And that the same ceremony shall be observed as in
the Pe Deans chaunted thanksgiving forthe
itorable battle of Jena.
Several mercantile houses of Hungary }rave en.
tered into cOntiads for furnishing great quantities
Witte to the French Army in Poland. ' The small
distance from Upper Hungary to Cracow, by Gali-
tia, will render the 'conveyance of these wines very
eas„y. At Cracow they will be embarked on the
Yisro a.
The Ilfoniteur of January $.5, gives the proceed-
ings of the English House of Commons at the open--
ing of the new Parliament ; and stating, that Mr.
LAIA, who moved the Address, said that the Peace
of Amiens afforded time to the Nation "--totake
breath and recruit its strength," observes in •a Note.:
"‘-" Peace to France as well es England was only a
truce. rt was wished to give confidence to our
commerce) to induce us to trust to the sea ailiundred
tuillions of French property, and afterwards, as after
the Peace of Amiens, a Mess age similar to that of
the 7th of March would have declared, that the
'rench Ports were full of Armaments ; that the de-
*cent was ready to be made and that consequent.
ly it was necessary to seizo our Ships and Captains.
Principles more Nlachiavelian could never be avow-
ed with greater effrontery. It was hoped that a
text application of them might be made with jar,.
Primly. Bet the times are much changed ; Peace
l'ulkht perhaps be concluded, and two years after-
rds, commissions might be secretly issued to seize
pi our trading vessels ; but immediately all the Eng-
lish, men, women, and children, in • France, Hol-
land, Italy, Old and Nevi Spain, in three-fourths of.
Utope, would be made prisoners, in reprisal for the
'nen, women, and children detained in our .trtAlipg2
l'essels. All the magazines of English mercbaddize,,
or property of any kind, would be- seized-.' This
IsYstem of reprisals is our right„ and can alone give
us security. We must oppose force to force,:pwrgy-
to energy, and even injpstice to injustice, since
by employing such weapons England has 'foiact
r is
to have recourse to them. The times when she
overawed the Cabinet of Versailles are long since
past."
On the expression. of the same Speaker, 'that
" England had no iefluence on the determination
of Prussia ;" it is observed in another note—“ To
What purport then were the conferences of the Eng-
lish Ministers with M. JACOB! ? They, had told
France that they wished to have Hanover. France .
eluded the question ; but in eluding it she, in:Koine
rneasure,s;gnified that Prussia bad not fulfilled the con-
ditions to which she had aubscribed that that. prtiVince
Might be secured to her. She did not email her
ster—shedid not shut t heEibe or theWeser. No soon-
et had the Cabinet of London perceived what Might
be the result, than Alley intimated their own con-
jeaures to the Court of Prussia, to animate it against
France. And yet it is asserted. in Parliament, that
the English Government.has not in the least influ-
enced the determination of Prussia."

On the observation in the same speech, that " ree
lying on the justice of cur cause, and on the invin.
cible valour of our forces by sea and land, we may
hope in a short time to bring our enemy to pacific
dispositions," there is the following note " There
is no necessity fur so many resources to bring your
enemy to pacific dispositions ; nothing is necessary
but moderation 'and justice. Your Ministry should
be‘guided by the ideas.of that great man whom you
have lost, and whose loss alone has been more fatal
to England than all the misfortunes she had ,before
experienced ; of that great mast, to whose memory
you have not eretied_any monument, lxibose
has not been treated with a munificence woithy of
the nation ; of that great man, in Erne, .who, 'had'
he lived a year longer, would have saved Prussia and
England, and given peace to Europe."

Le Marsouin Privateer, of St. Maloes, has brought
into one of our ports, the Laster, of Pool, burden
170 tow, with a cargo consisting of 165 tons of salt
ash, from Newfoundland, with one cannon on
board, and a crew of 11 men ; and also , the Jeri-
cho, of 209 tons, from Halifax to London,. laden
with sugar, cocoa, skins, medicines, maltogag,
&c. of eight 12 and is-pounders, and a crcwAtig
men. ,2t,!i . -
Le Spectiateur Privateer, of the same pt/11-, bas
Made two prizes one of which, laden ‘416..5a1t
fish, is arrived, and news i&expeeked of the -second.
Le Giene.ur Privateer, l►kewise of St. MaloeS„. has
1-ought into one of our harbours an Eiiglish vessel
ltttittii with coals.

The head-quarters pf Marshal MOR-TIR, which
were at Anclant on. the 17th December, were
.re-
moved-to Friedland, in the country of Strelitz, on
the-loth instant ; and it appears that this corps is
destined for Berlin. •

THE PRINCE- OF PEACE.---Ttie King ,of Spain
by his late Rescript confers on the PRINCE of
PEAck; • the. same powers and rights, which, under
the. titles of Generalissimo, Captain and Governor-
General of the Seas, orAdmiral-General, were en-
joyed by Doli juANT of ASTUR lA, she son of Don:
CARLOS I. the second Don JUAN of ASTURIA, the
son of Don PlittalP IV. and the Infante Dols- Pm-
P, uncle and father•in-law to his present•Aljestyi
with the additional title, aho enjoyed by Don.
PHILIP, of Protector of the Maritime Commerce of
his Subje6ts throughout all his doMinions. His
Majesty, after technically describing the extent •of
the authority thus conferred on his favourite, pro=
ceeds in the following terms
" In all these respe&s you are empowered to
give: and communicate whatsoever orders you may
deem proper for my Royal Service, which' being
signed with your hand, or by the Secretary of the
Admiralty, must be 'pundually obeyed and executed
by all . persons, without except iot t, to whom they shall
be addressed. I further declare, that as well in
order to maintain the brilliant lustre of the exalted
dignity of Generalissimo of my Armies, and Admk
ral-General of my Maritime Forces in all my domi-
nions, as on account of your extraordinary merits
and services, and your most singular personal quali-
ties, you are of right, and by my cernmand, in writ-
- ing and speaking, to be styled « Most Serene High-
ness," and fo possess all the prerogatives, honours,
imMunities, and franchises, belonging to that ele-
vated title. Finally I order and command all my
Counsels, Chanceries, Audiences, ,and the other
Tribunals of my Kingdoms, my, Viceroys, Captaini,
General, the General and Subaltern Officers of thts
Fleet, and all myriVlatitime Forces; and all other per-
sons, of whatsoever title, rank, pre4ethinence, and
dignity in my dominions, to attend to, obey, and
execute your orders, in every thing that relates to
my service, 'and to the execution of your Odice,•
paying the same resped to you as •tU myself in per..
son', and assisting you with their 'advice and aid,
whenever, you require the same ; and that as
often as you shall Judge it fit, and necessary, you
shall receive from the Ministers and Officers of
Marine, such information and detailed reports as
you may require, in order to -ascertain the state of
the whole, and thereupon to take such measures as
• you may deem proper."
it has. been inferred from the extraordinary pow-
ers thus conferred on a Person whose origin is ob-
-genre, and who is beheld with much jealousy by
the ancient nobility of Spain; that a more important
measure is in agitation, and that the mission of
• &AURA RNOIS, the French Senator, to Madrid, is
-possibly connected with an intention to set asi-le the.
Prince of ASTURIAS, and declate the PRINCE o?
PzrACL heir to the Spanish Monarchy. Such a tned
Sure, however, never would be endured in Spain,.,
unless it wete the effect of a Revolution brought
about by the power of France in a more summary
manner.. •

We are happy to hear, that a Commercial Treaty
is now upon the tapis between this Country and
Russia, by which the produce of our Colonies, not-
withstanding all the vengeful efforts of BONAPARTEf is
likely to have an extensive and ready market. No-
thing, certainly, could be better judged at such a
moment as the present ; and while Ministers employ
their attention on objects so salutary and beneficial,
they will be entitled to the thanks of the country.
Mr. BELL, who lately. gave his evidence at the
Old Bailey, in consequence of a burglary commit-
ted in his premises on the Edgeware Road, died on
Friday last, at that place. This is the person who
made a very distinguished figure in the metropolis
so long ago as the year 1750, and spread consterna-
tion and terror all over the Kingdom, by prediEting
that London would soon be entirely swallowed up
in an earthquake. He Was then one of his Majes-
ty's Lfe Guards, and afterwards' kept a hosier's
shop upon Holboni Hill, for many years. He was
always 3 pro, found Politician, and after the French
Revolution, his notions, it is said, became rather
too strongly allied to the doEtrines which led to that
lamentable event.

THE CHIEF Jusrict of the Common Pleas has,
not been able to attend the Court during the present
Term, a circumstance that is doubly a matter of
regret as the venerable Magistrate discharges the
duties of his important office with firmness as well
as urbanity, and as his chara&er in private life is
deservedly held in the highest estimation. •
The late General PEOLI had a pension of 20001.
a year—a munificent proof of the respet, of the
British Government for valour exerted in the noblest
cause, a resistance of foreign oppression. The Ge-
neral lived in a liberal and hospitabie manner, but
hai been able to leave considerable property_to some
of his relations in Italy.
Spain was never in so perilous, as well as so de-
grading a state as at the present moment, when it
has reason to fear that it shall fall .a vialim to force
•or treachery ; yet in the midst of all its trouble the
PRINCE OINACE is investel with new powers, and
denominated " Serene Highness."

persons of whom it is ,compoSed, for every thing
