SULEM QUIS DICERE FAISUM AUIEAT ?

LONDON, APRIL 17, 1804.

WE expressed our hope, a few days ago, that
Ministers would lose no time in publicly vindi-
cating themselves and the Country from the in-
famous charges contained in the Report of the Grand
Judge—not that we entertained any doubts upon
the subjea, because no English Minister would
stain his own charafter —no English Minister
would dare compromise the char:lC.ler of the Coun-
try by such condua. But as the French Go-
vernment, regardless of truth, and dead to every
sense of shame, had, in an Official Communication
with the different Foreign Ministers at Paris, preter_
red the Charge against the Administration of this
Country, it appeared to us that it should be imme-
diately and solemnly denied. In the House of Com-
mons last night, Lord MORYETH called upon Mini.
stets for an explanation upon the subject, and received
from the CtaAKcei,Loa of the ExcH EQI.I ER what ap.

pcJrs to us a fuil, and satisfaaory uric, it d «sic, in

degrce couti.ms- the opinion tvilidi w have
'uutiortniy tuaiut.,i,k.:d upon the sui.j: that
t! ;e kvitolc, or the greater part of the D ,currents re-.
Jerred to in the, Report of the Gratid judge, are
fabricated. It
,has been stat.ed, 'and .we
.see no
reason to diubt the accuracy of the statement, that
the First Consul liz:vir;g transmitted to the lille6l.r)r of
Bavaria the pretenzded'originals of Mr. DR A K
respondence, intends to demand that Mr. DitArcE
'should be delivered up to him, as having by hi,s con-
MI placed himself out of the proteaion of the,Law
.of Nations. That BONAPARTE could.make and en-
force such a 'demand,. we can. readily believe, be-
cause his impatience of opposition, and his itnpla-
cable malignity against those WhO oppose itim,..have
long been the leading feattires of his charaftFr ; and
his late conaua shews that those feelings have been
worked up almost to a pitch of frinzy. And we
see as little reason to suppose that the ELECTOR of
• BAvAa lA, in the present state of Europe, would be
:disposed to disobey thc mandate of the First Con-
.
sul ; and the consequence will ultimately be, that
we shall not be allowed to have a British' Minister
in any of the smaller Courts ott the Continent:_
There was also:another ptoceeding' in the House
of Commons last night, to which we
.wish to dirca
the attention of our Readers. must ,a long dis-
cussion on the Mill. Militia AUgmentation Bill, in
which Mr. PIXT decidedly opposed it, a division
took place, and. although there were trivo‘ ktodred
and thirty seven Menders' Pieseni, the Ministers

only had a majority of tsvenz>cne, the numbers
being 12.8 and 107.

This morning arrived the Hamburgh Mail due

on Sunday.

The Hamburgh Correspotzdenten contains the fol-
lowing Letter from Paris, of the 3oth nit, the in-
telligence conveyed by which does not appear in
the Paris Papersof a later date.
" The Senate' on the 28th voted an Address to
the First Consul, to intreat him, as it' is reported,
to take such measures with respeet to ,the future
immutability of the GoVernment, as" may promote
the general welfare. The First Consul came.to
Paris to receive 'this Address, which the Senate
carried up' in a. body... Wet are laisuted that
the,First Consul will,• in consequence Of-0e *is])
expressed by the Senate, assume Ehighe!.dignity,
which will be made_ Hereditary. The Senate
, .
has, likewise, it is said, requested that~ a new
National Court .of Justice may be-formed, fur the
trial 'of offences against the safety of
_the N trim
and its Head,. It however, .ony-havi..--.
juri-
dietion in case of future crimes, and-not with re_

Seven Ships of the Line are, it is stated, to be
built at-Antwerp in the course of the present year.

Vice-Admiral TttuGuET is to take the command
of the Brest Fleet.

MORE AU is said to have confessed that he con-
versed with GEORGEi three times. It is highly
improbable that he should have made any s,ucli con-
