LONDON, NOY E 111.13 ER 22, slica.

WE yesterday received the Faris Panyi of the
7th, and this morning the Mortiteur of the 18th.
The French Government having, in conformity toits
promise, .mediated ,ffitlza4lll in the affairs of Swir-
zertind, is now taking the 'necessary measures to
render such a task unnecessary for the future, or at
'least to-secure a More prtJupt and implicit obe,
dience to its mandates. artler4 have been given
to the People of Switgrriind tq deliver up their
arms under pain of mitit4ry efecutioni ifati
troles of French C,avalry are dispersed over the
Country to enforce obeclienqc to these orders, and
to preserve public At.cis REQING
3iid .ii.ntxci. of 4,0;4, have hlen committed to
'Y.III, and the only hopes the Swiss now have for
trrecciom and •Intlereittlenee, rest upon the•Pairio-
tisin of the Deputies whO have been' scot to Mgt.

The Supplementary Plan of Indemnities has not
yet been laid before the Deputation at itathbom ;
but if Austr;a and France have agreed upon the
subjefl, it 'will of course be adqted as soon as it
is presented.
The illemitcurs are nearly filled with translations of
•the,Papers printed by order of the Ilouse ofCommons,.
relative to the aft-Airs of India. They are introduced
with the following observations : " The, affairs of
India are not foreign to 'any of the Powers Of Eu.
rope. The spoils of India serve not merely to, en.
!rich those who appropriate them ; the Conqu`ei'of=
.employs them to corrupt the Counsellors and Agents
of other Princes and States. With gold in his hand,
he procures the adoption of measures contrary to the
National Interest, and on this account European
'Tyranny cannot be extended in India, without the
Peace • and Prosperity of India being menaced or
Jisturbed."

The arrival of Lord \VH tTWORIn at Paris is not
announced in .any of the Papers ; but it is said that
he will not be introduced to the Fran Como L till
-the 6th of next month.

Letters have been received from the hies of France
and Reunion, dated in July last, which represent
them as being in a flourishing condition.
The French Funds are 53. So.
• We have also received Hamburgh and Dutch
Mailf, from which we have extraEted the most
portant articles.

There is not one word of truth in the informa-
tion positively given in some of the Opposition
Papers, of the Toulon Fleet being at sea, or of Mr.
PITT having been sent for from Bath. The latter
is drinking the waters with so much success, that
his attendance in the House is not expetied to.
morrow, or for some, days to come.

AT no period, perhaps, of our History, did pub,
lic anxiety more eagerly anticipate the moment
when the veil should be withdrawn, at least, in a
great degree, from the obscurity in which our Poli-
tical Concerns are as yet enveloped, and when we
should be enabled from the language of His Ma-
jesty's most gracious Speech from the Throne, to
form some ju,Ltnent of -the line which Ministers
have challted out for thinselves, and of the mea-
sures which they mean to recommend to the deli..
berate considerati in of the new Parliament, in the
present delicate an.; critical situation of Public Af-
fairs.

.On this momentous subjea we very readily ac-
knowledge -ourselves ro be in a state of perfect
norance :—and have little disposition to follow the
example of some of our Cotemporaries, by amusing
our Readers with an anticipation of the language
and tone which•the King's Speech is likely to hold.
But if we
,may ventete to take experience, in the
past conduCl of Government, as
.a guide by which to
form an opinion, we may venture to pronounce what
it Will nv be. It will not be that of violence,
precipitation and haughtiness on the•one hand ; nor
of indecision, pusillanimity and prostration, on the
other. Should we find ourselves deceived, we shall
not be found backward to acknowledge our error.
We have not heard that the Speech is to he read at
the Cockpit=---a most absurd pra6lice, and which we
believe all parties will agree with us in thinking is
much " more honoured .in the breach than the ob_

servance."

We hatfe before pcitiped with satisfeglion, the un-
usual 'number of Members that have already appeared
at the present meeting, 7nustml at this season of the
year. Not much fewer, we believe, than 400 have
already been sivorn. Does betray any symp.
toms of 'that public apathy, with the charge of
which some writers have not scrupled to libel the
whole English Nation, 4nd to which they have
avowed that .they should Prefer Rebellioq itself ?
On the first proceedings of the new Imperial Par-
liaMent, my fur the first time regularly called to-
gether, the eyes, not only of their ConstitUents, but
of all Europe, will be anxiously turned ;—to a splen-
- did Assemblage of individuals, of views too inde_
pendent, of minds too enlightened, of julgments
too sound, to adMit of the possibility of their
.being
swayed or biassed by any artifices, however sedu•
lously exerted, calculated to make an unfavourable
impression of the cooduet of Government; before
the grounds of its measures, or even the measures
themselves, are fairly brought under their- consi.-
deration.
/n speaking of confidence in the present Govern-
ment fiom its past measures, we ate ready to ex-
' plain curse( ves. They res6lutelyaceePted office in
• a moment of complicated, danger and unireTsal
alarm ; resolutely prosecuted the War whilelhete
was a .;occessity "of' carrying it' on ; and reriltoely
made Peace, when Peace was attainable, and the
War Aettned no longer to have an objet. " Frtite r,
oceupa portum:' To this measure great respon.:
sibility was undoubtedly attached. It was an-ex-
be:iment, as they avowed it to .be : we will eve()

maintain that they would have been inexcusable in
not trying it : and in trying it they had almost
the unanimous support of Parliament, and of the Colin..
.tryi, In prosperity they have .shewn no want..of mo-
deration ; in doubtful circumstances, no want of de.
cision ; irs adversity, indeed (to which the best and
WiseilMmlnistrations must be subject) their forti.
tude• remains to be tried—because Adversity they
have never yet, in any one instance experienced. Has
this been exclusively owing to theit Talents and
Wisdom ?—Let,sts.not be charged with
,a
to. ofrer them etch offensive incense !—Much has
undoubtedly bear owing to the good sense and for-
titude of the People—much to the valour of our
Fleets and Armies—something perhaps to good for-
tune—and possibly, mare than all, 'to the blessing
of Divine Providence, which we have ever been, 9n
:all past occasions, and ever shall be on altiuture
ones, the foremost to aCknowledge.
How far the aresent Parliament may 'think it
right to consider the conduit of'preceding ones,
especially of those which have sat since the World,
experienced the scourge of. the French' ReVolu-,
Lion, we shall,• not preiuMe.tO anticipate,.
we in the course of the last ten years been threatened= ,
with the most serious domestic troubles, sVith-the
most alarming internal. convulsions ?=---They are.
blown away. Was our Constitution endangered?—
It is safe. Did the jealoUsies which prevailed be.:
tween 'the two ireat Members of our great Ern` pine
risque the security of both, by paralizing their
incur of defence against a common Enemy ?—The
splendid measure of consolibtiort, that eternal.mo-
nument of glory to the Projedor and Supporters of
of it, has set them at rest for ever. Did a couibi-
nation of the most formidable and unnatural Al-
liances threaten' the Independence and vital Interests
of_great Britain ?---It has been dissolved, An urt
avoidable and glorious War has been succeeded by
a creditable Peace, for the long continuance of which
neither the Minister who made it, nor the Parlia-
ment which saniuioned it, can be justly considered
as responsible. But more on this subject at a proper
time. These then are the results of the good sense,
the decision, and the temper which have marked
the Proceedings of the late Parliarnent.• -Is, it too
Much to say to the No onc-7-fg Go, and do thou
likewise."

Before we close this paragraph, we shall say one
word on a subjea which seenn„and not improperly,
to have excited an extraordinary interest—we mean
the apprehension of Col. Pefpartrand his associates.
Cour Readers are already aware of the motive!,vjlieh'
has deterred us from any free animadversions99,-a,
circumstance, in which the lives of many individtds
may be involved, though we think it fully, and,' in
some respects, fairly open to them. We trust th;ai
no necessity of recurring to strong rneasuresk
,as
they are commonly called, will arise out of the- evi-
dence that has been given ; and think that the Pub,.
lie has abundant grounds for a firm conviftiOn.,-thai"
nothing short of an indispensable sense of duty will
dispose those, who anxiously seized the
,first fa-
yourable opportunity of advising the repeal of the
Suspension of the Habeas Corpus At and of the
Sedition Bills, to recommend the renewal of them.
But great dangers sometimes have small beginnings
and repeated experience has demOnstrated, how in,..
considerable may be the source from whence, the-
,thostiilarming and -overwhelming evils
.may
Our apprehensions•on this' subjea, which do not as_
yet run very high (while we see proper vigilance
exerted) are by no means dimini;thed by the manner
in which some Papers have -thought proper to. treat*
it.—By one we are told—That Rebels are only
to be pitted and despised, though Compirators rbould
it punished; and by many (none of them yet know-,
ing the extent of the mischief) that' the crimes with
which these men ate charged,, seem scarcely descry.,
ing of notice.--Tky, however, themselves admit,
that the Corresponding Society is .again in aftion;
and we have not forgot the atrocious procccdings..
which took place at the General Eletlion, par.'
titularly at Nottingham and Brentford,,at both
which places Ca Ira saluted the ears of a savage
rabble, and insulted those.: or 'the Sober -a,nd .
indignant Electors. It remains to be seen, whether
the successful Candidates for either place 'will
coalesce in presenting another Petition. to the.
House of Commons in favour of Col. Despard, to
which, however, we think Sir F. Strap ETT; who
presented the former, has, on that. account, ,ar.
exclusive right : and whether 'those who sup-
ported the Candidates, will shew an equal alacrity"
..•.-
iniisuppirting the Petition. We shallsay no more
