the public creditor to receive. aipadvantied

consideration for being deprived of the growing ac-
cumulation of the whole.SinkinuFund at a future
period. By the A& of 1792, it was provided that
uoleis Parliament should establish other funds to pay
the public debt, at farthest in '45 years, one per cent.
shotildbe.set aside . for that purpose at the Exche-
quer,' so that it. must be paid, at all events,. in 45
years. The present measure, therefore, in making
an arrangement to pay off the debt in 45 years, gave
the public creditor the very worst re-payment that
by law he was entitled to. The precedent of lord
Sidmouth's interference with the Sinking. Fund, by
no means went to hear out this measure. Whets
Lord 4idmonth,in funding 97,000,0001. at the closing
of the last war, made a new arrangement of the
Sinking Fund; taking advantage of its produce fot

entered into a
variety of statements to prove, that by the plan of
the Noble Lord the most distitia disadvan tine would
accrue to the public, if they could allow themselves
to be deluded by it. He deeply regretted that, the
expetation had been raised in the country, that
:during The period of war no greater annual loan
Would be required than J I millions, an expe6tation
which there was not the slightest possibility of being,
realised. He concluded, by hoping that the House
not come to any decision on the subject, but
leave it in an unprejudged state for the considera-
tion of another Session.

Lord If PETTY reprobated the idea of any fur-
ther delay in the decision of this important gdestiOn,
.which was only a contingent on those which Parlia-
ment . had already sanaioned- by their cousenti and
to which the approbation of' the Throne had bean

Tile CHANCELLOR of the 'EXaIIECIIiER /indNr.
HILItY ADDINGTON mutUally explained,
Mr. LONG declared that he had entertained strohg
objeCtions to the measure of the Noble .Lord in
10.2, though he had deferred to the opinion of his
late Right Hononrable Friend. He saw no reason
for pressing the proposition of the Noble Lord oPpo -
Site this session.

Mr. D•AVIES GIDDY thought that, there did not
appear any necessity for pressing the subjed this
year.

MT. VANSITTARt defended the plan of his Noble
.Friend, and• thought that the time for requiring
of. the Public Creditor, ank: sacrifice .was, when
they had an advantage Ircim the augmentation that
had been made this-)A:ar to the Sinking Fund.
Mr. IWSE, though he had entertained consider-
'able doubts as to the measure adopted in 1802, bad
yet got rid of those doubts in consequence of the
circumstances under which it had been brought. for-
ward. The plan of the • Noble. Lord was founded
upon an accumulating debt, and a' deCrra,it,g Sink

WE received this morning Paris Papers to the sth
inst. and Dutch to the v2th, and other Foreign
Papers of a late date. It is stated in the AMIle du
Nord, of the 7th, that PFACE has been SIGNED
between RUSSIA and FRANCE. The following
• are the most important articles which they contain :

STETTIN, JULY 2.—(41 night, by express)—The
Preliminaries of Peace between France and Russia
are signed The two Emperors have had an inter-
view, and reside the same town with their re-
spedive guards.

This information vas received here this morning,
and was brought here by one of the Aids-de-Camp
ef General BRUNE. This Letter- does not mention
the town where the interview took place, but there
is eve y reasop to believe it Was at beille
du Nord, Juty 7.)

cortieietiee. of the twfi
Emperers Of Russia and Frariet, took place yester-
day at one o'clock in the afternoon, in a Vessel on
the. Niemen, on which General LARIBUISSIERE,
Cottithander of the Artillery of the Guard, had caus-
ed one Pavilion to be ereeted for their Imperial Ma-
jesties, and another for their attendants.
His Maje3ty the Emperor NAPOLEON, attended
by the Grand Duke of BERG, Prince of Neufchatel,
Marshal BESSIERES, Grand Marshal of the Palace
Duaoc, and COULAINCOURT, Master of the Horse,
proceeded to the banks of the Niemen, and went on
board the Vessel which was to take him to the raft.
At the same time the Emperor ALEXANDER,
with the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, General
BENgIGSEN, General OUWAROFF, Prince LABA-
NOFF, and his First Adjutant-General Count LIE-
BEN, put off from the opposite, bank.

Thu two Vessels reached the raft at the same
time ; the two Emperors embraced each other
on leaving the Vessels, and entered the pavi•
lion jrepared for. them. This conference lasted
about two hours, and when it was closed, the at-
tendants of the two Emperors were admitted. The
Emperor At.ex.twilsn paid many a handsome compli-
Ment to the French Officers who attended NAPOLEON,
and the latter conversed for a considerable time with
the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE and with General
BENNIGSEN. Both Emperors returned afterwards to
their vessels.

Last night, immediately after the Conference was
over, Prince LABANOPF arrived at the French head-
quarters. A Convention was concluded, that one-
half of the town of Tilsit is to be considered as
neutral. His Majesty the Emperor ALEXANDER,
his Retinue, and Guard, are to take up quarters iu
the neutral part of the town.
The Emperor of Russin intends, we understand,
to dine this day with the French Emperor, and it is
supposed the,King of PRUSSIA will be of the party.
—(Corresponcknten);

A report is spread at Berlin that the Emperor of
Russia has ordered all Englishmen to quit his Doini-

mons.

The Friends of the late Ministry still persevere in
their attempts to throw the whole blame of our
failure before Constantinople upon Admiral DUCK
WORTH, and with the same degree of candour they
censure our Officers in Egypt for the losses which
we have sustained in consequence of • the impolitic
and ill-planned Expedition to Alexandria. With
respea to Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH, they cautiously
decline answering a question which we put to them
some time ago, and upon which the whole question
in a great degree depends • viz. " Did Sir JOHN
DUCKWORTH represent tire necessity of having
troops on board his Squadron, and were they
refused, because positive orders had been received to
send them to Alexandria ?' We have no doubt but
that they who wish to shelter the late Ministers, and
to throw the blame upon the Officers employed,
have very good reason for declining to answer that
quest.ton ; but, it is really too much that the 'charac-
ters of gallant Officers should be thus incessantly at-
tacked merely for the purpose of screening those
who teally deserve the blame.

Accounts have been received from Major-General
FRASER. dated Alexandria, the. Ist and tith of May,
with Brigadier-General STEWART'S Reports of his
failure in the attack of Rosetta. , It appears, that
Our chief less was occasioned by the advanced Corps
at El-Harhid being
.surrounded, and after a gallant
resistance, taken prisoners. The whole of the loss,
in killed acid wounded, front the tith to the 18th of
April, was
