SATURDAY, JANUARY J 9,

'We have constantly stated, that it would be
found that His MAJESTY'S present Ministers have
taken every possible step towards the formation of a
Confederacy of the Powers of Europe, in opposition
to the enormousaggrandizements of France; and we
have also repeatedly stated, that His Imperial Wes.
ty of RUSSIA. went hand in hand with our Govern.
meat in this affair, equally interesting to all Parties.
Only two days ago, the principal Paper in Opposi.
tion expressed its fiar: as to the solidity of the
grounds upon which the hope of a Continental
;Ace was held out, nut only by the Ministerial
Writers, but by tits Ma asiry himself, in his
Speech from the Throne. It was impossible not to
notice this extraordinary scepticism of the Morning
Chronicle, and to ask its Editor whether he was
truer, of the circumstances which led to the expec-
tation confidently expressed by His MAJESTY ?
In his Paper of this morning, that Editorrstates it
to be a report current in the political circles, that
‘‘ Subsidiary Treaties with RUSSIA. and SWEDEN
are in great forwardness." It this be true,
we hope . that the Doubts and Fears of the
:Morning Chronicle will he speedily removed.—
We have alWays considered that no more than
is necessary should be said about terrdiv Ne.
gotiations,; but as the above statement :is given,
with some doubt of its truth, by the Editor alluded
to, we think it tight to state that we have every
reason to believe it to be prrfellly torrell, and that
we entertain no doubt but that the next return of a
Courier from St. Petersburgh will bring Ilis IM.
PERIM. MAJESTY'S authority to his Minister at
this Curt to conclude a Tit aATY of AtaLits.NCE and
Stin',lDY. with the Court of London.

Of the specific Terms of this Treaty, we shall,
for obvious reasons, say nothing at present ; we
must, however, beg leave to state, that it will pro.
bably be found to have been framed in many te.
apeas upon a more efficient plan than any of the
Treaties of the last War ; that is has been ne.
gotiated with the most perfeet cordiality and
good understanding of the two Sovereigns and
their Ministers,; and that it will provide, in the
most elftttuaL manner 'possible, against the Conn.
quences of any interruption of this cordiality and
good understanding that might be occasioned by an
unexpetted change of circumstances.

Oar intercourse with the Mlle of Swim Est is
on the same tooting, and there believe, no
reason to doubt of the most zealous co.operation
of that 'Mutations young Monarch, in the Measures
that may be taken for the general advantage.
With resped to the Esarettoa of GEO.MANYI
and the KING of PgusstA, it certainly is hardly to
be expected that those Princes should be :aired in
“nisnce. Of this, however, we do not quite de-
spair ; 4tid have the most sanguine hopes that Nrr
of thetn ,at least may be induced to lay aside his
tartial views, and lend his assistance to a Cause
which is the zeiteral concern of Eukore,

The &Irma and the Prince of Waits Packets, on
their voyage to Liihon, received so much damage,
it vicletit plea of wind, that they cpuld not re-
turn with the Mails to this Country, which were
yens. by itiv quern Charlotte Cutter, which sailed
how Lisbon on the Au inst. and arrived at Milford
Itiven on the 15th.

The Diana'PAcket, on the iBth December, ship.
pea a very heavy sca, which threw the vend on
be: bearn.cods, in which situation she remained 3
minutes before she righted. The great pressure of
water swept away nearly all the starboard bul.
warka, boarding nettings, *tendons, ikc. and wash.
'eal over the midship Is pound carronade ; and On
use t 9th a Very heavy sea struck her on the quarter,
which broached her to the wind, threw the star.
buard.sitle wholly under water, the sea making a
breach over her, which carried away every move-
able Oaf' the/tic*, forced the small boar over the
stern on the humkins, and stove be: to pieces, and
carried away the spritsail-yard.
The PriNe Walei Packet also was snuck abs ,ft
or, the 19111 December, *by an uncommon high sea,
which forced her head under water to such a depth,
that the fure.sail floated upon the surface. The
water rushed abaft, broke the fore hatchway to
pieces, stow the boat under the booms, and did
other considerable damage,
