THis =minx we received our sets of Moniteurs
to the tith instant.

At seven o'clock on the evening of the 9th,
GF.oR Es, and LERIDAN the younger, were arrested
in the Place de l'Odeon. GEORGES was in a Cabri.
olet, He killed with a pistol-shot the Peace-officer
who stopped his horse, and wounded the other who
went to seize him, He was armd with a poniard
of the same English manufalure with that found on
PICHEGRU. He had upon him a considerable suns
in billets of the Bank of France, and. in Letters of
Exchange upon London., There is every. reason to
believe that he was upon the point of endeavouring
to escape, and to profit by the darkness of the night
to get beyond the walls.
He has without hesitation declared, that he has
been in Paris for several months—that he came from
England—and that his objei was to assassinate the
First Consul,

LIIRIDA.N the younger? who was not upon the
list of Brigands, is one of the four persons whom
the Police knew to be in Paris, without knowing
their names. He is known by the robberies which
he committed for several months in the Morbihan.
The Moniteur of the Bth contains some reflec-
tions upon the renewal of the War, so gross and so
disrespedful to our beloved MJNARCH, that it is
impossible for us to disfigure our Columns by a tran.
slation of any part of them.

The Paper of the same date contains the follow-
ing intelligence :—" Very copious news has been
received Ir,on the isle of France. The Dispatches
of Captain_General DECAEN and Rear-Admiral
LINOL: contain the most satisfaanry details. The
whole Squadron had anchored before Pondicherry,
with the exception of the Transport the •Cote-d'or,
which had remained behind. Twenty-four hours
A'ter the arrival of Squadron, it was joined by
:he Br's* dispatcht.l from Brest, and carrying the
neWS Of the KING Of ENGLAND'S Message. Five
S_liips of the Line and three Frigates had anchored
rear the French Squadron. At midnight, the
Rear - Admiral LINCIS, leaving at Pondicherry
fifty men and the women who had debar)ced, cut his
cables, went to sea, and steered for the Isle of
France, where in twenty.flve days his Squadron

" The Transport Cote d'Or was not long in
arriving. An English Frigate fired several slot
at her, which, however, did no damage, and con_
ducted. her to the English Squadron before Pondi-
cherry. The Governor-General of the Indies, who
had received no intelligence from Europe, gave
orders to release her, and the French Commandant
at Pondicherry made her sail for the Isle of France,
where she joined Admiral LINO IS.
" On the 24th September, the Corvette Le. Bet-.
ceau anchored at the Isle of France. She brought
intelligence of the Declaration of War, of which the
English were still ignorant.
" The six Frigates, the Corvettes, and the other
light Vessels of the Squadron, and eight Privateers
armed in the. Country, were sent to sea to cruize.
We hope they will avenge our Cotnmerce, for the
numerous depredations committed by the English.
" Anarchy had ceased in the Colony. The
Militia were in the same state as the preceding
year, and the Colony had 3oop good Troops re-
cently arrived from, Europe.
" A considerable Dutch Squadron was at Batavia,
and four Ships of the same .Nation were at anchor at
the Lie of France.

" The battle lost by the English against the
Mahrattas was confirmed, as well as the disasters
which the British Troops had suffered in the Island
of Ceylon."
Another account in the Moniteur of the preceding
day, the 7th instant, says :

" Five hundred French had been landed to take
possession of Pondicherry. The English delivered
up to them the City and the Forts. They had
raised a Battalion of Seapoys, and, supported by
the Inhabitants, they still maintained themselves,
according to the latest intelligence.
The English were still ignorant of the renewal
of the War in September."

The Minister of Justice has published a list of
the Brigands charged with attempting the life of
the First Consul, and asserted to be in the pay of
the English Ministry, with a description of each.
They are in number 61.

These Mon;teurs contain a great number of Ad-
dresses, couched in the usual strain.
The French Funds were, on the 9th, 57. 50.
These Papers say nothing of the time of the trial
of the Conspirators.

THIS morning arrived the Hamburgb Mail due
on Sunday last. From Milan, of the date of
February z 3, it is said that the approaching Spring
may be expelled to produce events of the, greatest
importance on the Coast of Italy and in the Me-
diterranean. The French Army in Italy is to
be greatly reinforced, and several Corps were
on their march for the Neapolitan Territory. The
French Troops, it was reported, had received or-
ders to take possession not only of Naples, but of
the Island of Sardinia. Lord NELSON, probably
aware of this order, had already appeared off Sar-
dinia and the Coast of Genoa. Nothing is said of
the sailing of the Toulon Squadron.
A large augtnentation to the Turkish Army has
; been ordered.

An article from Amsterdam, March 6, has the

is We are aAurcd that the destination of Admi-
ral HARTSINK, on board of which are 2000 Troops,
is Ceylon. An Expedition against this Island, for
the recovery of our Settlements there, could not be
undertaken at a more favo:lrable time."

NEVER was there a more inauspicious day for a
Minister, than that which occurred in the House of
Commons on Thursday last. That Ministers, with
the greatest exertions, should not have been. able,
upon such a Question, to obtain more than eor
Votes, must be to them a subjea of alarm, and
must open their eyes “o the real opinion the
world entertains of them. ,Lord Sr. VINCENT
has conferred many personal obligations upon Mem-
bers of Parliament ; and if we are rightly informed,
some of these favours have been recently conferred;
and many persons have given as a reason why they
did not vote for the produdion of Papers required
for public imarposes, that some private benefit had been
conferred—that a Son, a Nephew, or a Relative,
had been, or expeded to be, promoted in the Navy.
We understand that Capt.MARKH AM had said, that
he should be ready to meet Mr.Pr TT upon the proposed
Inquiry !—How has he met him by denying him
the Information upon which he proposed to found
that Inquiry.
But some part of the information—two Qf the
accounts demanded, out of five, have been granted
Was there a pretext for this miserable and shabby
proceeding, so charaderistic, so worthy of the mind
of Mr. ADDINGTON ? It was not pretended that
any danger could arise from the information required.
What then is the ground for granting a part of
what was asked, and not the whole ? Why could
not Mr. ADDINGTON, upon such an occasion, sum-
mon up the firmness and the manliness to grant the
whole, or to refuse the whole ? He says the Pa-
pers he refused might require explanation, and lead
to Inquiry—and may rv,t those he has granted ?
But Will Lord ST. VINCENT thank Mr. ADDINGTON
for such a defence ? and what interpretation can the
Public put upon this proceeding, except that Mr.
ADDINGTON thought that Lord ST. VINC ENT
might possibly stand blameless upon the information
given, but that upon that which was refused, his
condua. would not bear investigation ?

The Papers granted are a comparative view of
the number of Ships &c. in commission, and the
number of Seamen borne at the present time
and at former periods. Now, if it appears, as
it undoubtedly will, that of some descriptions
of Force there are less now than .there were
at former periods, will it not require explanation
to account for this deficiency ? The Papers refused,
were accounts of Ships, &c. built in. the King's
Yards, and in private Merchants' Yards, at
different periods. Now, what interpretation eanthe
put upon this refusal, except that the Adniiralty
have been (as is generally believed) very negligent
upon these paints. -- For this plain and obvious in-
ference, Lord ST. VINCENT is indebted to Mr.
ADDINGTON.

The Minister has upon this occasion so contrived,
that Mr. PITT shall not have the means of stating
to the Public what he conceives to be neglea on the
part of the Admiralty,,, and that Lord ST. VINC ENT
shall not be freed from the imputation of conduCting
111 the Naval Department. It the objet of Minis-
turS had been to slur the cbarac'ler of their Colleague,
and to dissatisfy the Public, they could not have
taken a line better calculated for that purpose, than
that dictated by Mr. ADD iNcroN.

Yesterday soon after three o'clock Mr. ADD I NG-
TON had an audience of His IYMAJes-rr.
Yesterday morning about eleven o'clock a Cabinet
Council was held at Mr. 4DDI N GTO house. Ab
two o'clock, another Council was held at Lord
HAwKssßußY's Office, which was attended by the
LORD CHANCELLOR and most of the other Mem.
bers.
Yesterday the Earl of CIIETF,RFIeLn entertained
the Royal Dukes wil,s an elegant dinner.

American Papers to the gth ult. are received.
The Captain of a Vessel, arrived at Charleston
on the 3d of February from Jamaica, informs, that
when he left there, the prospeCt of a Spanish War
was quite over. The Spanish Sloop of War- cap-
tured by the/F.9/ra Frigate, after a proper explana-
tion, had been restored, and was repairing; a num-
ber of other Spanish Vessels, which had' been de-
taited in different Ports, in expectation of the War,
were likewise released.

Sir HOME POPIIAM's code of Telegraphic Signals
have been adopted by the Court of Dtredors of the

They are the most simple and yet comprehensive Sig.:

to the naval skill and ingenuity of the gallant and
interprizing Officer who invented them.
