LONDON, NOVEMBER i 3, 18oz.

LORD WHITWORTH arrived at CaLiis on Wed-
nesday afternoon, at three o'clock, where he was
received with great distinEtion as appears by the
following Letter from Calais, which we received
yesterday :

" Ncv. To, tSo z

"His Excellency Lord rwoitrx arrived this
day at three o'clock, after a pleasant passage of
four hours and a half. He was received, on his
landing, by an immense concourse of people, and
with much huzzaing. The guns were fired, and
Flags di.splayed on the Church steeples, &c. When
His Excellency arrived at the Inn where a Cap-
tain's Guard mounted, he was complimented by the
Constituted Authorities, consisting of the Mayors,
the Commissary General MONGAUD, the Juge de
Paix, &c. After them came General BARB ASANNE
at the head of the Officers of the Garrison.

" After dinner His Excellency and Suite were
formally invited to assist at the Theatre, in order,
as it was said, that the Public might have an oppor_
tunity of seeing what had been so long and so ar-
dently desired, an English Ambassador in France.
They were received with great enthusiasm. " God
save the Icing," was struck up and played for a
quarter of an hour, but almost drowned by the
applause of the whole House, who stood up whilst
it was playing, in the good old English fashion."

The above intelligence suggests to us some ob-
servations, in which the thinking part of our
Readers will, no doubt, have anticipated us. The
iollow►ng suggestions will probably have presented
themselves to their minds, even in the interval
between their reading the account and our com-
ment on

That a proper degree of respea would be paid,
an either side of the Water, to an Individual finding
a high Diplomatic situation, on his arrival, no one
ran doubt. It could not he otherwise in Civilized
Countries ; and it was due to the Laws of
common Hospitality.. Those laws are not likely
to be violated between the People of Countries
which are at Peaces even though between, the
respeaive Governments there should he some ap-
parent misunderstanding, But in the degree of satin_
faction and joy demonstrated on the arrival of either
Ambassador, there may be a difference, and that dif,
fefence may always, as on the present occasion,, be
accouptel, for.

when qeneral LAURI,STON arrived i this COUP,.

try with the Ratification of the Preliminaries, the
enthusiasm of the People knew no bounds, and
led them perhaps into extravagancies, which we
thought venial, but which some of our Cotempora-
ries ridiculously considered as indicative of symp-
toms of remaining Jacobinism ; to the professors and
abettOrs of which we believe nothing would have
been less acceptable than Peace. But it was a blessing
which the refleEling part of the Public thirsted for,
not because the National Spirit failed, or the bur-
dens, inseparable from a continuance of the 'War,
had become intolerable, but merely because the conti-
nuance of the War seemed to have no object. The
People were no less sincere than the Government ;
and that sincerity' was evidenced in the cordial re-
ception of the Individual, who had been seleaed
by the French Government to bear the Olive
Er?nch to Great Britain.

Of the respectable person who has now arrived
as Ambassador from France, we never heard any
thing that was not favourable ; as. such, he was
abundantly entitled to Civility and Respect. But
if his arrival has not been greeted with such enthu_
siastic symptoms of cordiality, how are we to ac-
count for it ? Because, circumstances have occurred,
in ti►e course of the last three or four months, too
well calcdated to repress the hopes, so creditably
entertained by our generous Countrymen, that the
sincerity of France would keep pace with our own.
Because, his arrival had been preceded and accompa.
nied by two of the most violent and hostile Mani-
festoes (for so we must call them) which have ap-
peared in the French Official Paper, which could not
fail to excite some distruSt as to the object of his
mission, and of course checked the appearance of
joy which could not otherwise have ,failed to greet
his arrival.

On the other hand, nothing can exceed the rap-
ture which the appearance of our Ambassador at
Calais seems to have excited : such greetings never
attended a supposed Harbinger of War, and can
only be conceived to have meant to welcome him as
the Harbinger of Peace. If so, it is a Blessing which
the Inhabitants of that part of France at least must
most anxiously wish for ; and even a Despotic Go-
vernment, which is disposed to consult its own in-
terests, and to look to its own security, will per_
haps think it sometimes expedient to consider a lit-
tle the feelings and wishes of its Subjeds.
As to this Country, whatever may be the re-
sult, the continuance of Peace, or the renewal of
the War, we are perfedly at ease. The Go.,,ern_
meat and the People ate identified—Both would
prefer the former ; both will he prepared for the
latter. Each have shewn themselves well disposed
to the one, and abundantly capable of executing the
respeCtive duties of the other. To admit the ex-
travagant positions laid down in the French Official
Paper, would, in the end, be suicide. How far it
may be proper or prudent to bring , this Country
into action against the French, till they shall be more
dircitly brought into action themselves, we will
not presume to give an opinion. But we du
think, that the present state of things, as far as
thi; Coun:ry is concerned, calls for uncommon vi-
gilance, and for a System of Internal Defence,
which should enable us to bid defiance, at arty time,
and under any circumstances, to any attempts to
which a neighbouring Power might be stimulated
by hostility or ambition.

If the War should be unhappily renewed, no man
in his senses can doubt, but that every means. will
have been taken by our present Rulers to prevent
that renewal, as far as was consistent with our
Honour, and our essential Interests. They will,
therefore, undoubtedly. have the Country with them.
The situation of affairs seems critical. Should Peace
be preserved, salvo honore, (and we can never wish
it to be otherwise) to those who gave it, as the
preservers of it,. the Nation will of course feel an
increase of obligation.

WE this morning received the Paris Paper; to
the rr th inst. They bring an account of the com-
plete subjugation of Switzerland. The Diet of
Schvitz, unable to resist the numerous Forces of
France, and unwilling to sacrifice the lives of
their Countrymen in a hopeless contest, dissolved
themselves on the 28th, after solemnly pro-
testing against the conduct of their oppressors.
The French Troops have entered Schwitz, from
which place ALovs REDING and General AUF-
DER-MAUR had previously retiked,, ,but the place
of their retreat is not known.'• •-" , •

The arrangement which has taken place between
F/ancc and Austria, respeCting the Indemnities of•the
GRAND DUKE of ToscANy, has so much facilitated
the operations of the Deputation at Ratisbon, that
it is styposed their Sittings will terminate about
the middle of this month.

The last accounts from Havre are dated the 7th
inst. at which time the First Consul was in that
City, and the time fixed for his departure was not
known, He was, ;10weyer, expeadl to arrive in

PARIS, Nov. io.

M. l'Abb6 CAMB AC E RES, Uncle of the Second

Consul, died last Saturday, -after an Hitless of ten
days. He was born at Montpellier in 1722, and had
been Archdeacon and Canon of the Chapter of that
City; Doc-tor of the Sorbonne, and Preacher to the
King.
BASLE, Nov. 3.—We have received the follow-

ing details relative to the dissolution of the Diet of
Schquitz. The first declarations which that As-
sembly sent to Paris, gave reason to suppose that
they meant to submit fully to the Proclamation of

the First Consul. The French Troops, therefore,
received an order not to enter the Swiss Territory.
As soon as the Diet were informed of this determina-
tion of the French Government,they resolved to profit
by it, and accordingly again declared themselves the
only Legitimate Government of Switzerland, order-
ed the Contingents of the Eastern Cantons to assem-
ble on the Reuss, and to recommence Hostilities with
the Helvetic Troops if they Approached that River.
Under these circumstances Citizen BECHET, Aid,
de_Camp to General NEY, arrived at Lucerne on the
zgth of oAober, and proposed an interview with
ALOYS REDING at Lucerne, which the latter de:
dined, but sent M. HIRZEL, of Zurich, and ano-
ther Member of the Diet, to meet him. They in-
formed Citizen BECHET, that the Diet were deter-
mined to dissolve themselves, but at the same time
protested against the measures which had been
adopted against them.

The Diet was in fad dissolved on the 281 h.
There is at present in Zurich, aGarrison of 4000
French Troops.
Tranquillity is not yet completely established in
the Canton of Argovia, but the French Troops who
are marching thither, will soon restore order.
HAV RE, Nov. 7.—The Civil and Military Of_
ficers were yesterday presented to the Chief Consul,
who received them in a very gracious manner. In
answer to the Address of the Mayor, the First Con-
sul said that he was Littered by the marks Af alfec-
tiOn shewn to him by the people of Havre ; that
Rouen apd Havre were the two first Cities that he
had visited since the Peace ; that he regarded Havre
as the Port of Paris; for, added he, Paris, Rouen,
and Havre, are but one City, of which the Seine is
the great Street.
The Company of Merchants were also presented.
The First Consul conversed with them an hour,
upon subjects of trade, as ably as if he had been
brcd to it all Isis life. He lamented she mifortunes
they had sustained ; gave them hopes of prosperity
for the future, and told them that Time was a great,

restorer.
The Municipality gave a dinner of eighty covers
to the Persons in the Suite of the First Constil. At
night there was an illumination.
The FIRST CONSUL and Mrs. BONAP ARTE went
to the Play, after which several Ladies waited upon
the latter. She entertained them with. an account of
the interest she took in a Town from which she had
embarked at thirteen years of age for Martinique.
This morning at day-break the First Consul was
on horseback, and rode round the Dacks, after
which he went into a barge, and examined the In-
terior and exterior of the Port.
KoUEN, Nov. 7.—The FIRST CONSUL, in going

from. this city to Havre, went by Duclair. He was
met on the road by forty young Ladies belonging to
the English School of Sli E PH E ARD and MERTI Z EN.
One of them presented the Firs: Consul a Petition for
the eredion of a Roman Catholic and of a Protestant
Chapel, for the use of persons of different religious
persuasions in that School. The First Consul com-
plied with their Petition, and assured them of his
protedion.
BERNE,' Nov. 3.—The French entered Schwitz
on the 31st of October. The Diet was dissolved :
REDING and AUFD E R -MAUR have retired, no one
knows whither ; all the Confederate Troops are at
present dispersed.
PARMA, OCT. 23.—An A& was published here
this day, by which it is declared that the Conven-
tion concluded between France and Spain on the zist
of March, ISo 1, having placed at the disposition
of France the States of the DUKE of PARMA, that
therefore, from the 9th inst. the day of the Duke's
Death, all the rights and powers attached to his
Sovereignty in the States of Parma, Placentia and
Guaitellr, ~I)elonged to and do remain vested in
thetFrench Republic, in the name of which all Pub_
lie Ads are tO'be given.
RATIS3 ON, OCT. 30.—The Deputation of the
Empire, in the expedation of an ulterior communi-
cation on the part of the Chief of the Empire, re-
sumed its Sittings this day.
In this Sitting, which is the twenty-first, the
Direftorial Minister read a Note addressed by the
French Minister to the Imperial Plenipotentiary,
and to the Sub-Delegate for Bohemia, and which had
been communicated to him by the said Minister, and
afterwards by the p,p.s§ian Minister,

The following is the tenor of the Note :

" The Undersigned received on the 26th inst• g
Note of the Imperial Plenipotentiary and the sub-
Delegate of Bohemia, containing the communicatio°
of the same wishes which they made at the opening
of the Extraordinary Deputation of the EmPire:
they hope with confidence, and with the ro°st
lively interest, for the approaching co-operation 01
HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, in the intention of the.
Mediating Powers, and are very far from doubting
that His MAJESTY has not made propositions, the:
most proper, to get rid of every difficulty. Thal'
objea may, however, be accomplished, without
the Deputation suspending its labours, which are
too necessary for the tranquillity of Germany, and
which at the same time will atauate the moment s°
much desired by His IMPERIAL MAJESTY 11111'1Se/fa

" The Undersigned seizes with true pleasure'
this opportunity of renewing, as well to His EX'
cellency the Imperial Plenipotentiary as to the Sub'
Delegate of Bohemia, the assurance of his high con'
sideration.

After the reading of this Note, Majence Oa/
Bohemia voted on the affair of the Debts.he
Diet then adopted a Concixsul.l upon the subjea.

It is believed that the Deputation will terminate
all its operations, and separate, in fifteen diys frail)
hence.
