IT is generally thought that the Discussion of the
important Question arising out of the Official Do.
currents laid before both Houses of Parliament, will
occupy mere than one day, and that the House of
Commons at least wilt have to adjourn the Debate.
Long as the Correspondence is, which, is already laid
before Parliament, we still wish it had been more full.
Nothing. appears upon the subjea of certain trans.
adions which took place as early as the mouths of July
and Aqua, respesting the Post-office and other
Packets passing between Dover and Calais ; anti in
w bleb, t hough pe'rhaps in a trifling case, we understood
that- the French Government had been guilty of a
direr breach of Treaty. Nothing appears upon
the Subjed 'of the unjust imprisonment of Captain
D'Auvettotte '(Duc dt~ Boutt.Lora) upon which
we know representations were made. Nothing
appears upon the more important point of the intro.
dutlionof French Troops into 110Thrord. It is possible
that the representations made upon 'these and other
points, remained, like the representation respeCting
the Invasion of Smviizeriand, totally unnoticed. .But
if'so, we wish some mention had been made of these
circumstances. We are not- now considering the
contluel of His Majesty's Ministers, but the case
against France—a case which we consider as so
. .
strong, that a . tenth•part of ,what we have seen in
these Papers, would justify the War.
We hardly yet know how to believe that BONA.
PAR's meant to push things to this extremity;
but he certainly meant to try to what degree His
Majesty's Ministers would yield. It was reported
yesterday, and. stared to be upon the dedit of Let.
ten received from Paris, that jostme BONAPAILTX
was coming to Eaj'land with new proposals. The
medi4tion of R1454;11 is certainly not given up ; and,
indeed we hardly see what objeft there tan be in

Nos-1, 3,4, 9, tr, ta, 'and 53, relate to the carp of the
British ship• Fame Packet," Capt4in De Gaiiihy. This
sailed from, the Port of Southampton on 'the ,9th of
December, 18°4 laden with flow' and barley for the troops of
the garrison, and with different other goods, for the inhabi-
tants of the Island of Jersey. On the zoth a violent storm
arose, which.obliged the Captain to put into Cherbourg for
satety, and for the accornmodation of 'passengers he had on •
board for many of whom were ill. After coining to
an anchor, the Captain went ashore in the everting to make a
report of his situation at the Custom House, under an hnpres-
mon, that the Preliminary Treaty bet ween-England and France
would ensure him protedion. His staietneitt,' however, was
rejeeted, on ibegrohnd, that the law oi.(4111 Germinal, year
a), 25th March, 1793, had prohibited all vessels under an
dred tans. burthen from .coming within four leasnes of the
Coasts of France with English Merchandize. The Ship and
Largo were seized, and condemned by the Tribunal or Va..'
logne, which sentence was confirmed op an appeal by the
Captain to the Tribunal of Coutances, and ultimately sanc-
tioned by the approval of the First Consul himself.
No. 2, inc loses to Lord Hawkesbury the Answer of the
French Minister to No. 8.
Nos. 5 and 14, relate to the Brig jennies, Wm. T./hackle

coal, for the port of Charente, in France, ant a 'small titian-
tity of English rnerchandize for Cadiz, in Spain,wncnceit was
to return with a cargo of wine. On his arrival at Rochefort,
the Captain prOcluCed at the Custhm Holise an account of his
whole, freight, as well for Charente as for Cadiz., audbffered
to lodge the 'goods destined for the. latter in the Custom
House, till the period of his departure. Notwithstanding this
candid condUct, which, proved that he had no intention of
dealing in contraband, his application was rejecled, ,and the
Ship and Cargo belied and condemned, pursuant to the pro-
visions of the ferementioned Laiy.

Nos. 9, 13, and Ll,' contain soine.strong icpresentations on.
the part of Mr. Merry-to, M. Talleyran,t, on the injurious
effeas that must unavoniably result to the coinmere of Bri.
