LONDON, MARCH 17, 18oz.

WE yesterday mentioned the receipt of Dis-
patches from Marquis CORNWALLI§ at Atiziens. We
are not without strong and solid grounds for an opi-
nion upon the probable contents of these Dispatches,
but even that opinion we shall with-hold, resolutely
determined to persevere in that cautious line of con-
duet which we have °Hate thought it indispensably
necessary to adopt, and which has been imposed on
us by a sense alone of resped to the Government,
and of duty to the Country.

That a very few days, however, will absolutely
put an end to our suspense, we cannot entertain a
doubt. Possibly we might, have been led to express
more anxiety at its continuance, had our con-
fidence been less in the vigour, as well as the calm
deliberation of the Cabinet. The late conduE
of Ministers seems to have called forth the ap-
plause 'of all descriptions of People, which their
language, as well as what we know of their
measures, has abundantly justified. Of the former,
we have thought it one of our first duties to give
the most faithful and cornea Report, especi-
ally ,the language of the Minister, when the
subject was no less delicate than the state of the
Negotiation. We wish that all our Cotempora-
ries had been equally cautious. A more glar-
ing misrepresentation of a Speech, than that of
the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, which
appeared in a Morning Paper of Saturday last,
and which was copied into an Evening Paper, we
never witnessed. It appeared by OUR Reran of
that Debate, that though the sentiments indicated
a firmness aml spirit highly becoming the Minister of
a great country at such a crisis, they were no less
charaderized by a proper caution and reserve.
We cannot help congratulating the Country on
finding the public mind so happily prepared for either
alternative ; for the measures which have been
taken are equally calculated either to accelerate a
Definitive Treaty, by dernonstrating to the. Enemy
(a term which we should be glad to drop) that Go-
vernment is not to be trifled with a or to enable us
to renew the War with promptness, decision, and
effe&.

WE this morning received the Paris Papers of
the 13th inst. They bring no news of importance ;
the Minister of the Italian Republic, at Paris, has
been requested by the French Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, to wear the Uniform worn by the
French Ministers, only substituting the Cisalpine
Colours instead of those of France. He is not to
take place among the Foreign Ministers, but is in
future to be considered as Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs for the Italian Republic:
The Marquis de LUCCIIESINI, Minister of the
KING of PRUSSIA, has congratulated the First

The Count de COBENZEL, Ambassador from the
EMPEROP. of GERMANY, has made known to .the
First Consul the Resolution adopted by His IMPERIAL
MAJESTY, to admit Ministers Plenipotentiary from
the Batavian, Helvetic, and Italian Republics ; and
that on his side, he was disposed to appoint Ministers
of equal rank to reside in those Republics. The
Count also intimated, that His IMPERIAL MA-
JESTY bad seen with interest, the definitive or-
ganization of the Italian Republic.
The Count de MARKOFF has received, by the
return of the Courier which he had expedited with
an account of the result of the proceedings at Lyons,
Letters of Credence, to reside at Paris as Minister
Plenipotentiary.
The Chief of Brigade COLINCOURT has written
by the same Courier, that His IMPERIAL MAJESTY
