" Tye pleasures of melancholy are suited only to minds of
uncommon susceptibility—to those persons who may be said
to have a sympathetic taste for distress ; and from readers of
this class, the tale of woe now before us will meet with pe-
culiar acceptance. For ourselves, we own that we have been
truly affected by the perusal of it, since it is replete with in-

The Order of the Day for utnri-tortino.?, their Lord-
Alps beina read for the "consideratiori Lord GR
ytm,t's hitended Motion relative to the Definitive

Treaty
Lord ;.1?4N1171L.47.. rose.,,, and in a. very,able,
animated, and argumentative speech, which occu-
pied near two hours and a half, delivered hiS senti.
n-ients upon the very iMportant subje4 in qttestion.
His Lordship observed, tb-at' in :the interval
tween the
.6=11.11n36600 of the Preliminary Trea-
ty to the completion of the.DefinitiVe, he had ab-
stained from'troubling their Lordships.; 'to this he
was principally inducedl. by: the copsideratiOnof
not wishing to .offer any thing that might wear the
semblance' of embarrassing -the -Negotiations'.
.the present circumstances had 1-Chieq
to tail , the attention of LOrdShips •to
these important points, in which the-Treaties dif_
fe.ied from each other., He would first ObiierVe
, upon that great and important- consideration, and
which, certainly,. should .supercede every 'pther'; and
in considering this point, 'he was.led to view the
,comparative situation in which our Ally, Portuwl,
vas plaCed'by the late Treaties, with respeft to our
situation before the War : they'-were bouncP.to sti-
:pulate for the integrity of the.Dominione; of that
Power, not Withstanding which, the elle& of the
Definitive Treaty was, to confirm the eesSion of a
'Territory to Spain, not indeed, particularly.' 'im,
portant to Great Britain, but %'i.th a reference.: to
the principle Which' it went to 'establish, 'namely,
that, the protediDn of Great. Britain Was 'not a'stif-
.cient security to her Allies—her cessionsin Ame-
rica were, however, of More direr' importance to this
Country ; and these, by the elred of the. Definitive
'Treaty, were rendered even less secure than they had
been previous to that measure ; theseit even declared,
Portugal had assented-to, but-he contended-it would
be More wise and magnanimous policy to haVe
shewn'that -we would not suffer' our Ally to make
zuch burthensorne or disgraceful conditions 'as
.the
Price of Peace. It may be alledg-ed the interven-
tion of the British Government prevented the ces_
sio7nl made to Spain by the Treaty of Madrid,- but
the whole. of-her sti:4i.datiotiS' to ,FranCe by that
:Treaty were suffered to remain.—Another circurri-
,stance attending the Definitive Treaty, and WhiCh
was a departure from the Preliminaries, was the
.*node in which the. Congress at 'Amiens were con-
aiiaed by the latter it was settled xhat,the Ne-
.r botiation should be in -concert 'with our .Allies,
but the fact was,- that the Allies of France
Only "7,7,;ere. sadrnitted,-those Of Great Britain were
.excluded.--The Tre;ity. was signed by the iQi-
rlisters of France, H-olland; and Spain,. .and on
the other side by that of Great Britain alOne Not
only the most essential interests with respeft 'to
Portugal were so treated, biit those of' Naples also
Merited a particular consideration :-. that,: however,
would be too wide a field to enter into. He had-a few
farther observations to add with resped. to Portugal.
-The cessions in Eur Ope and Arnerica were not the
only points : the provisions of-the Treaty of Ma_
• drid tendered it* impOsSible to execute 'the Methuen
.Trepty,•and' this consideratfon.the more' seriously
.iffeaed us, as there was a period (he could assert
the it .the history of the War,' in ‘yllichPOrty-
.gal_ran the risque of impe,nding destruaion sooner
than relincluisWthe Methuen Treaty with this Coun-
try. The new boundaries of the French s'ettlenients
in South only gave thern- the command
;of the river Of Amazons, but the command of the
Erazif Cornmerde of Portugal ; and- the tom_
nand of an East India NavigatiOn in time of war:
From these points .respeeling Portugal he would
proceed to the consideration of another of our Al-
lies, whO for his attachment to the catise of Great
Dritain was obliged to beCoMe 'a reftigee in this
country, his property sequestered; and some of his
family and dearest relatives at the mercy of, the
•
enemy. He alluded to the Prince of Orange and
the adherents- of his., House. -They Were told in
that HotiSe that it was by the deSire of that Prince
that -his affairs were nor mentioned in the Prelimi-
nary Treaty,
.and that,due care' would he taken of
his intere:its, and those of his adherents, in the
befinitive Treaty. But . what was the real case ?
that assurance was soon departed from—no stipu-.
latiOn whatever vas made for the Adherents of that
illustrious House—they' were :left to the mercy of
the enemies of great Britain, and suffered to re_
main in a state of exile;—,and 'this was done at
the very moment, when France took care 'to sti-
pulate in behalf' of every Jacobin Incendiary in
Europe. kfis Lordship next referred to the i Bth
Article of the Definitive Treaty, which relates to
the compensation to be made to the House of Nas-
sau, upon the wording of which, he animadverted
With 'a considerable degree of warmth : Proceeding
then to the consideration of the losses of the House
;of Nassau, hesaid, they possesSed estates, proper-
ty, and seignories, particularly in the United Pro-
.vinces, amounting to more than roo,oopt. a year, be..
sides immense personal property=-the whole of wit:,
*as, without the least plea of justice or, of reatl,
confiscated by the Batavian Republicans, and for
what ? Only for the Prince of Orange performing his
'duty to his own, as well as to this Country, in issuing
orders to the Fortresses in the Dutch Colon'ies to
admit British Troops, in order that they might be
held in trust, not .forhinisell or for Great Britain,
but for the lawful government of the United Pro-
4/inces ? Under these views, lie thought a full re.
etitution shOuld be demanded., and the strongest in.:
sfluence of 'Britain exerted in his behalf; instead of
whieb Ministers were content with the provisions
(:)-( the Article he had alluded to, but .whichomitted
to ascertain the-Manner in which the compensation
Is' to be Made, whom it is to be, paid, and what
?re the obligations with roma to those who should

pay it

the signature, retiring, and executing another in-
strument, without the knowledge of the -British
which the Batavian Republic was
exonerated'7otn supplying any fait of the pro-
posed compensition? He would not
:now inquire
how far such a 'Contrad
,could be bindinz.,
or- valid; 'but -he-would ask what their prcl-
ships could think of the gOod faith of the .Other
Contrading Parties. The next point which he
had to direct" their .attention to, was .one,, which
in view of national good faith; was not :of,-equal
importance, but in .other point's of viewt was very
important,' he meant the' cession',
,of the dpe of
Good ,Hope ; the Framers of the *reaty projeCied
an Article,' by which it was to be rendered a free
Pori, and open to' the Commerce of all the world ;
and this measure-was. held out as giving up a burthen:.
some posseis:io',- 'and, securing at the same time all
the advantages-of it;—lneontradidion to this, he
had, 'however,' no hesitation' to assert, Max the
cession of the Cape had giVen a severer blow to the
safety, commerce and security of our possesions in
India; than any other stipulation that could be made,
short -of surrendering the Island of Ceylon into the
hands .of 'France 'itself ; 'however 'an opportunity

would have- sib Ships, when

have "only t'wol;' and he argued, that from the regu-
lations 'with' respect t'o' the Port of the Cape, that
when the Fren6 had the superiority in those seas,
all 'their ships 'Would be admitted,.but when we were
superior in 'that quarter, a contrary 'proceeding would
take place ; from the effed of these; we 'should be
obliged to maintain a Fleet of from 7.4. to 30 sail in
the Indian Seas, in. order to place us. in an equality
with France and her Allies; and, notwithstanding,
it was said that-the Cape was ceded on grounds of
Ceoncitny .Frorri 'the subjed of the CaPe, his
Lordship proCeedecl to that of Malta, which, in
order to render really independent of France; should
be retained in our passession., :the best. thing
that could be done, 'would be
.to place it under
the proteetiob of IlusSia,-a Power which could
easily supply.he number of troops requisite f6r
its defence, and, besides, by its rank in the
Tole of. European nations, 'and iMposing-inituence
and power
.oh' the. Continent, .Could• effedually•
secure it from 'the power of Fiance ;. hence it hap-
pened that this proposition in the Preliminaries
could not be carried into effect. He would not
then inquire with re_sped the mode in which
this important island was-disposed of; he would re-
fer their. Lordships- to the opinion of the French
themselves upon that point ; and this he read from
an extrad from the Mercure de France, a periodi-
cal 'paper published under the sanction of the French
Government, and which asserted, with a reference
to the admission of a Neapolitan Garrison there,
that, " As long as the island. of. Malta isNeapoli-
tan it would tie SO says Bonaparte,"
said his Lordship; " and as an-humble follower of
him, so say I.',' He en eyed into rather a detached
discussion of the arrangements which were made
with resped to the Island of Malta, and argued
With great force and ability, . that the effect
must be, diametrically opposite to What was
prOpoSed by this Country : and, he contended,
that the Funds proposed
.for defraying the
pences of the 'Establishment, on account of what
had' taken place, in consequence of the French
Revolution,' and the injustice and aggressions of
that CountrY, would be miserably inadequate. He
wade a few general. observations upon the proposed
regulations, respeding the inhabitants of the re_
spedive ceded territories, which his Lordship seem_
ed to argue, were not founded. either in true
pdlicy or justice.
~ He next proceeded to consider
a stipulation in the Treaty, for which, he said,
there' Was no precedent upon record, namely, that
which
,went to"'surrender the claims of British Sub_
jells upon the GoVernment, of France, Losses -sus-
tained before the War, or at the commencement:of
the Revolution. In these periods, 'property of
English Subject,, in the French Funds, to a con-
siderable amount, was confiscated, which was done
chiefly by means of that ouprincipledinanceuvre, by
which the French Financiers confiscated two-
thirds of their Funded Debt, in order to enable
them. to pay the remaining third.—He next ad-
verted' to the stipulations respeding the Pri-
soners of War, Foreign Troopg, &c. which, par-
licularly with regard to the payment of the
expences incurred; he censured as vague and in.
definite in every point of view; and with regard to
the balance in our favour, even when it would be
ascertained, we were left, by the Article, to get it as
we could. -- These 'were some of the leading
points, in which he contended the Definitive, in-
stead of being more advantageous and secure to this
Country, than the Preliminary- Treaty, as the
circumstances which had taken place ,in the
interval of Negotiation, required it should ,be,
was on the contrary more unfavourable and in.

secure ; there were, howesier, considerations of
another nature and tendency, which were of the

most serious importance. He alluded in the first

instance to the O'on-renewal of antient Treaties,
which he would contend was a principle in the pro-
cess of 'Negotiation equally novel .and injurious,
and in illuStrating these positions, he again referred
to, the French Official Paper he had already quoted,
which said—" the old Law is destroyed ; a new
public Law commences," and which principle
might be most destruetively applied by France
in 'her futu're projects of aggrandisement ; and
they might well •s'ay to us, that, abiding by the
Treaty olAtniens, which in efrea ordained anew
Law rif Nations, that we bald no right or title to
inqUire nor was that the worst, for though these
Treaties were ineffedual on our part with respeCt'to
France, we were bound by the letter of •them with
regard -to other Nations, and which must certainly
lay the seeds of future quarrels and dissentions. Ad-
ded to these important considerations, there were
others which were more of the nature of omissions

than of positive _stipulation;, but which were of
equally injurious tendency, He first adverted to the

point of the honour or our Flag in the British Seas
not being asserted, and which would, in an incon-
ceivable degree, go to abate the spirit of our Seamen,
on whose ardour and exertions our best hopes alway,s
• depend-0; and this point was settled by formal
.sti-
pulation in the Treaty of 4783.': Another point
was the omission with resped to the regulatton
the Gum trade, .of the extent and importance of
which lie spoke shortly in detail. The Log_
wood' trade' 'was the-next --.tapir‘-witich•fell—u-nder
the I,!Ttable
.Lorti's observation, and on the great
importance of this he also expatiated. He ,then'
obser-Veit Upon Wliat had fallen from a' Noble 'Lord
onr a former evening, to the effect that Arhar-
.peyer
,claitpsi,should be demanded by France, would
be, fotinded on the arguments- ,orged
Nothing, hoWever, could be a greater misunder-_
standing:—Never could any man ..possibly be less
the advocate for France than he :was ;, and if the
cause were never pleaded Tut by him,' it would be
very Feebly 'urged in4ed.2..-2His inion upon the
' died of the om.;ssions With respea to the naviga-
tibirof'the Eastern. Seas remained" unaltered. In the
Trreaty of 1783; it was stipulated; that V.,,e should•
continue quietly to
.exercise our rights in that re-
sped ; and these were held-,4 such high importance,
that the Treaty of 1787;Was negotiated principally
with the view of ascerta" these,,clairns,
.and_to
avert a War which was just about to be entered
into, in consequence of the unfounded pretensions of
France in that respect. He thought that a distinct-ex-
planation should 'take place, even now, with France
uptin this point, which May be effected in the
course of five days, and before the cession' of
the Cape, &c. was carried into effed.—
Fie then touched upon The recent acquisiti9nS made
by Frqice on the .Continent of North America, and
adverted to the nnfavourable andgenetal effects they
Might- have upon the interests-of .this country in
that qyarter, particularly with respeta to our West
India Commerce, in periods of war. From this
• topic he , pissed to the acquisitions of territory.
made by France on' the Continent of Europe,
and the serious conseqUences with Which' these
were fraught.; • and draWing to a conclusion,
he recalled to the recollection of the HouSe some
of the leading passages of the last speech-. of the
illustrious King W 4 WAN!, -which ought, he said,
ever ;o be impreSsed upon their 'LOrdsliips!.minclS
respeding the aggrandizement of 'France at that
period, in consequence 'of a Prince or:the House
of 'Bourbon being placed on the :Throne. of
Spain, by which the French King would become
master.of the'whole Spanish Mbnarcby; in cs9l;*:
quence of ivhieh this .Country could never experi-
ence the blessings of real Peace, 'bin continue to be
e4osed to all the expellees. and inco kceniences of
War. This reasoning, his Lordship contended, •
applied most emphatically to the state, 'of the two
Countries at the present pericd ; and after further
expatiating upon these general points- with great
animation and ability, and the vital importance Of
• the sobjed in question, in the discns'ston of which,
not only the dearest interests of the natipn, but the
charakler of that House was, involved, his Lord-
ship
concluded by moving, tc That this House do
on Friday se'nnight,' take into eonsideration 'ate
Definitive Treaty of Peace.!'
Lard pELffilm said, he should not attempt to
follow the Noble Lord through all the. statements
which he had made, and all the arguments whiCh
he had used ; hut whilst he admitted some Of the
points.urged by the Noble:Lord, he could not see
any, reason why the consideration of this subject
should be delayed for. so long a period, and he
:shOuld therefore propose, that Wednesday thel2th
should.' be substituted' for Friday, the i4th. The
Noble. Lord then, commented in_ a very brief man-

ner on some of the statements of the-Noble Lord

.(GRENvILLE). He wholly denied the inference
drawn by that Noble Lord with resped to India,
conceiving that it could .not be incany way sup-
ported. With respect to the non.renewal of for-
mer Treaties, the revival of those Treaties could
not be-in this instance expeded, as many of them
were entirely inconsistent with the present sitv-
tion of France. As to Portugal, it was expressly
understood, that the integrity of that country was
to be preserved as it existed at the beginning ache
War. With. respeCt to the Prince. uf. Orange,-.an
indemnification:was certainly held 'out to him ; and(
though he admitted that all lead not been obtained
for him which could be wished; yet, that nothing
had been obtained, he wholly denied. The'Noble
Lord briefly touched upon some other points urged
by the Noble .Lord (GRENVILLE), his. comments
upon which we could not distinctly hear, but de.
dined discussing the subject at length on the pre-
sent occasion, and concluded by moving his amend-
ment, to substitute Wednesday the- i zth for Friday
the r+th.
Lord THU RLOW observed, that the Definitive
Treaty, by omitting the renewal of former Treaties,
did not, as argued by the,Noble Lord (GRENv r L4E)
change the public law of Europe, but left it where
it was before, to be altered or new-modelled, as

expediency should suggest or circumstances require.
The Earl of CARLISLE said, that from the great
importance of the subjet which it was proposed to
discuss, from the variety of circumstances resped-
ing it which called for attention, and from the num-

bcc of papers which it might probably be necessary
to move for, he should not have been surprized if
the Noble Lord (Giz .8 NV ILL E) had called for a fur-

ther delay than that which lie had proposed, and he
did not think that the time asked for ought, to.be

abridged. There were many points relative to
this subje& which called for discussion, as the in_

demnification of the Prince of Orange, the con.

fusion which had arisen relative to 'th; Treaties of

and Badajos, and several other circum-

stances, each of which might well occupy a day
fof its separate discussion; and he thought, that at
least the period first proposed by the Noble Lord
(GRENVILLE) ought to be allowed for their con-
sideration.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was ex-
tremely happy to hear the Noble Lord disavow
those opinions relative to India which had been

attributed to the Noble Lord in one of the French

Moniteurs. He should have -been extremely mor-

of ed if those opinions had been' founded in truth ;

and the Noble Lord in that case' ought, instead ,of
InoVing for the discussion of the Treaty, to have

11-Preetdented in the annals of the Country, to
dlivY a Military Corps in the time.of Peace. He
; "°t approve of the purposes for which they,

stand its excellence; that they are steadily attached
to, and deterthined to preserVe it. He was, there-
fore; Warranted in saying, that the adoption of such
a measure as this would afford a singular gratifica-
tion to this Country at large; It proved the good
intentions of Government towards the People, and
of the attachment of the People to its Government,
and of the zeal and ardour of both for the Constitu-
tion, by which they were mutually protected. It
was upon this public principle, that those Volunteer
Corps had existed and flourished in this Country.—
It had been said, that such a power this might he
wanted to meet the remnants of Jacobin principles
And spirit, which had manifested itself, for a few
years, in this Country. He hoped; he trusted, he
was, indeed, confident; that the Jacobin spirit,
which once appeared in this Country, was very
much subdued, and must be so,—its malignant and
poisoned nature could not long continue, for it was
contaminated by its own breath. The general sense
Of mankind had scouted and driven it into -its hid-
ing places, and those principles which it attempted
to uphold; during a period of the War, and those
vain theoretical notions it endeavoured to fasten
upon a deluded multitude, had, now, by 'dread-
ful experience of their praCtical effect, become
universally odious ; and mankind were now con-
vinced that the principles of Jacobinism were
neither fit for political nor consistent with the
safety of private life : this was abundantly proved
by the enormities it had produced. There might
be a few who still adhered to this system, but they
were now so inconsiderable in number,- so degraded
in character, so abhorred, so detested in principle,
that they had no hope of appearing again, in such a
force he -would not say, for force they had none,
but in such numbers again in this Country. The
lesson which this system had taught mankind, was
a great and useful one. What had occurred in this
respeCt was not likely to occur again, but might
occur again, against which there could not be a
better ,antidote than that of putting arms into, the
hands of a People who had shown their abhorrence
of such principles, and determination to resist them,
and to protect their property, and all the -parts of
the established Constitution. An Hon. Friend
of his had said, if it was necessary to pursue such
a measure, it was better to revive certain Bills that
had lately expired. A to the renewal of these
Bills, of the wisdom of enaaing whieb he was fulty
convinced; but the continuance of which was unne-
cessary since the cause of them no longer existed,
he was himself convitited that the Laws of this
Country, as they stood previous to that RevolutiOn
which produced such convulsi6n in Europe, would
be sufficient for the preservation of the public
peace ; but if there should
,be any material inter.
ruption, which. the authority of the Civil Magi-
strate was not able to suppress, and he hoped there
never would be a disposition to use force without
cause, it would then be time enough to 'use military
force, and he knew not how we could secure to
ourselves so much military force with the chance of
so little military, violence, as by the plan now pro-
posed by his Right Hon. Friend, for it was a force
which we had now long known, and generally ap-,
proved, since we had felt its use. This was,
therefore, not a measure of speculation, but one that
was approved by reason, and recommended by ex-
perience. An Hon. Gentleman had said that this
measure was likely to introduce an invidious dis-
tindion between the farmer arid the manufaatirer.
die had no such apprehension. He thought the
manufadurer would feel a union of sentiment with
the fanner ; there was no point in which the
manufacturer was more deeply, indebted - than
he was for the protedion which was afforded to
him in exposing his goods at market, and no ser-
vice could be of greater use to the community in
which we live, than that by which the Volunteer
Corps had preserved a free communication between
the Farmer and the Manefadurer, in the market
where the prodUce of the earth was sold. An ap-
prehension had been expressed, that this proposed
Establishment of Volunteer force, may become an
object of ridicule, instead of respell : he had no
such apprehension, for of all institutions in this
Country', this appeared to him to be the least likely
to become the objet of ridicule ; it was so far other-
wise, that it had already, from the effeds produced
by it, obtained the admiration of all Europe ; nor
was this to be wondered at, for it occasionally ene
abled the People of this Country to give convincing
evidence of the feeling they had on public events;
and by this system, that feeling might be always
called forth in the hour of danger. Nor did he see
why such a system was to be reduced, or that we
should preserve nothing more of it than'the nucleus.
The eminent services it had already rendered, in
time of War, taught us to estimate its value, should
another War break out, of which he saw no proba-
bility ; but there was wisdom in precaution. The.
advantages we. had met with,. in quelling disturb-
ance at home, while our other Military Force was
carted into service abroad, was another instance of
the excellence of this plan of National Security. It
was constitutional in the most eminent degree, and
experience had proved it to he the cheapest, as well
as the most honourable defence a Free Country could
adopt. For these reasons, although he was aware
that some differences might arise, on some points,
in a Committee; to the principle of the Bill, he
trusted, he should not hear another word of ob-
jedion.

After a short explanation from Mr. S. STANHOP
the Question was put and carried, and leave was
given to bring in the Bill.

Lord TEMPLE gave notice, that on Thursday
next he should move for certain papers relative to
Malta. He could not at present exactly specify
what these papers should be ; however he believed
they would chiefly be accounts of the. Territorial
Revenues and Commercial .Duties ralsed in Malta
since that Island has beenjp the possession of His
Majesty's forces. He should alio move for an Ad-
dress to HiS Majesty, to• lay before the House a
Copy of the Treaty of Luneville.
After some conversation between Mr. GREY,
Lord BELGRAVE, and Mr. NICHOLLS, about the
propriety- of deferring the motions relative to the
late Ministry, Mr, NICHOLLS still persisted in his
original intention of bringing it forward on Friday,
and" Lord BELGIIAVE said that he had determined

to, bring f6rwitrd his IYLo' *AV s'4ine
that Of_ Mr. Nictiot.is. •
Mr. DENT, after a few-observations; it-loved for
leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the prattiee-of
Bull-baiting and Bull-itinning. .
Mr. WIND/JAM said, that if he did not 'Oppose
.this Bill in its present stage, as was his original
intention; it was not that he had at all changed: his
sentiments, but thi pressure of other affairs
of rather more hnportance on his •mind, made -hire
defer his opposition to the second reading of the
Bill, which he hoped would be pit off till the pub_
lie business should haVe been discusSed.

Leave was then given to bring in\the pin.
The House then 'vent through a Committee on
the Grant• to be made-to the Dukes.bf SussEx-ond
CAMBILID.G,E, and the Report was ordered w bere-
ceived on Thursday,.
The Irish Navigation Ad Was ordered to lie com-
mitted.to-morrow. , _

Mr,. CORRY. moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to indemnify such as, have,omitted to qualify them,
selves in Ireland. Leave given.
The Elktion Treating-Till went through a Corn-
niittee, and ;was ordered to be ingrossed.a.nd read a
tllird time tomorrow. •

The consideration of the Irish Linen Manufaaory
Bill was deferred to Thursday.
The Scotch Militia Bill was read a second time,
and is to be committed to-morrow.

The House adjourned at., half past six till to-
morrow.

WL this, morning receiver
,a imperfect Set of the
French. Papers of the zd instant.—They bring no
intelligence of importance. The Moniteur is nearly
filled with Debates on the subjea of Finance; and,
if some of the statements are correa, the revenue
for the ensuing year will cover the expenditure.

The Law respeaing Pnblic.instrndion has been
adopted in the Legislative Body; by a majority of
251 to 27,

The Hon. -Admiral CORNWALLIS, Commander
in Chief of the 'late Channel Fleet,""arrived in Town
yesterday morning, and had a long interview with
Earl ST.:VINCIENT, .at the Admiralty.

The ondovi Sloop of War, arrived 'oh the 28th
of February at Malta from Egypt, brought
gence to that Island, that hostilities be.tween the
Turks arid Mamelukes were carrying on with great
animosity. Much blood had been shed on both
sides; and. Adrhiral BICKERTON was preparing to
sail for Egypt in the of 54. guns, in Order
to effea, if possible, an accommodation between the
parties.

It has been Very erroneously stated in a SundaY.
Paper, that Passports are no longer necessary for
Foreigners. to enter into the Country, as the Alien
Ad is still in force, and no alteration in this respect
has taken place.
Mr. Nurr has been chosen Governor of the
Bank bf England,. and= Mr. \VINTHROPPE Deputy
Governor. The vacancy in the Direction will re-
main till the next Eleetion.

Count WokoNzovf, who left this Country some
time ago, for Russia, arrived at Cologn on the zest
ult. and ccintinuedhis route to Petersburgh.
We have more than once heard the epithet of
fortunate applied to Mr. ADD INGTON as a Minister,
and of unfortunate to Mr. PITT. Wise men will
'be as little disposed to adopt the one term as the
other, in their invidious application. By mere
events, except as fir as they were necessarily the
effeCts of public measures, no Statesman was ever
yet fairly estimated. That many untoward circum-
stances, which no human prudence could perhaps
have averted, marked the latter years of Mr. PITT'S.
Administration,: and thwarted his wisest measures,
we are by no means disposed to deny : but what he
could riot prevent will never effaCe the recollettion
of the splendid services which, in. the course of a
long and brilliant Administration, he aetually ten_
dered to his Country. As to Mr. ADDINGTON,
we suspeCt that it must be to him a matter of per-
rea indif&rence what term may be applied to his
Administration, so long as the result of his efforts,
in a most arduous and trying situation, shall prove'
to be an increase of happiness and prosperity to the
Country whose afEtirs 4e was called upon to direct.
