LONDON, MAY 14, 1804.

WE stated on Saturday, upon unquestionable
authority, 'the arrangements fur the New Adrnini.
stration, as far as they were then determined
upon. The following appointments are said to
have taken place since, but we do not pledge
ourselves for the accuracy of the statement. The
Duke of MONTROSE, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
Duke of BEALIFOILT, Lord Chamberlain. The
new Board of Admiralty is to consist of Lord m EL_
VILLE, First Lord. Sir PHILLIP STEPHENS, Sir
HARRY NEAtB, Admiral COLPOYS, Admiral GArt.
BIER, Admiral PATToN, and WILLIAM DICKEN.
SON, jun. Esq. It is very generally supposed that
Sir HOME POPHAM will soon be appointed to a Seat
at that Board.

Mr. CORRY, it is believed, will remain Chan-
cellor of the FAcchever for Ireland, and Mr. Fos-
TER is to have •some oif,L:e of importance in that
Country.

IF any thing could excite surprize in the Political
World, the People, we conceive, would look with
astonishment at the condua of those who oppose
the New Ministry. HIS MA; ESTY, finding that
the law Administration had nut that share of Par-
liamentary support which is essential to the condua
of public affairs,, attends to the sentiments of the
Representatives of the People, and exercises his
uNcluzstrutlArt tat Pitr ituoa.Try g in theformation of
a New Cabinet, more likely to excite the confidence
of Parliament and of the People. His MAJzsTY,
on this occasion, calls to the support of Govern-
ment, a man whose political wisdom and virtue
are on .all hands admired and respeOed, • and
while His MA jesTy is willing that a co-ope.s
ration of the first talents which the Country can
supply, shall take part in the new Administration,
he excepts only one individual, who, whatever his
abilities may be, has certainly not ailed with the
prudence which becomes a great Statesman. Is
HIS MAJESTY to be denied a privilege exercised by
every part of his Subjecqs ;—the privilege of elrusing
whom he pleases for his Adviser, when it evident
that his choice has fallen upon a man of pre-eminent
powers and ynimpeachable virtue ?.--The idea is A).
surd, disrespeaful, and disloyal. It was i MAJEs-
iy's sVish,no doubt,that a comprehensiv e Administ ra.
tiOn should be formed, capable of meeting the tlia nl-
ties of the Country at this awful moment, and, as tar as

the Royal, Sentiments have frowned, nothing like a
system. of PRoscßinT to::, so indecently insinuat-
ed, has had the least influence upon his Gracious
Mind. Is a system of PROSCRIPTION to be found
in an unwillingness to admit to his Councils a single
Indi,v;dual, who, upon many occasions, has ut-
tered sentiments which must excite alarm in the
friends of the British Constitution ? Nothing can
be more offensive, nothing can be more shameful, or
more false, than the reasonings, if reasonings they
may be called, which have' disgraced some of the
Public journals on this important and delicate point.
His Mitt es-ry, by his. firmness in the exercise of a
PREROCATt V F. given to him by the CoNsTiTuT
has aifurded additional satisfattion to his People,
inasmuch as he shews the entire restoration of his
health, in every respe&, by the arrangement he has
been pleased to make; and we doubt not that the
very point of exclusion will be considered by many
of the People as a decided proof of that entire re-
storation. It must therefore re-animate the hopes
of the Nation, and tend to secure its triumph
over all the menaces of the most ctafty, the
most ambitious, the most deadly, and the most
formidable Enemy that ever attempted to over.
whelm this happy Country in misery and ruin. But
it is said that, Mr. PITT is forming an Administra-
tion upon THE SYSTEM OF EXCLIIsIOW. The as-
sertion is direCtly in opposition to truth. Mr.
PITT, in obedience to the Royal Command, endea-
vours to form an Administration upon the most
enlarged and liberal basis, reserving the best talents
of the last Administration, and tendering offices of
the highest trust to the more distinguished Leaders
of all the Parties that aspire at political employ-
ment ; and, after a fruitless attempt to include even
the individual alluded to, leaving him alone an ex.
ception upon the list. To call this a System of
Exclusion, is to shew blindness, ignorance, malig.
pity, and folly.

WE received yesterday a Parr's Paper, contain.
ing the proceedings of the Tribunate of the its and
21 instant, on the discussion of the proposal for con.
ferring on BONAPARTE the title of Em/erar, and
rendering it hereditary in his Family. The pro-
position was received with the most slavish adula-
tion, with the exception of CARNOT, who alone
had the courage to oppose it. There is no doubt,
however, that the vanity and ambition of the Cor.
sican Usurper will be gratified with the much-
wished.for Imperial Title. How far such a step is
prudent or politic, remains to be seen.

On Saturday, about 12 o'clock, His MAJESTY,
accompanied by the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE, took an
airing in his post-chariot to Kew ; kits MAJESTY
was followed by HER MAJESTY and the PR INC ESSES
in two coaches and four. The Royal Party re.
mained a considerable time there, viewing the new
Palace, and walked in the gardens, and returned to
the Queen's House about three o'clock.
Yesterday His MAJESTY, accompanied by the
DUKE of CUMBERLAND, and followed by HER
MAJESTY, and the PRINCESSES, about the same
time took an airing to Kew.
On Saturday morning Mr. PITT had an audience
of His MAJESTY ; and in the course of yesterday
mottling, we understand, saw His MAJESTY twice.
Lords HOBART and HAWKESB URIC, and Earl of
DARTMOUTH afterwards had audiences of His MA-

ESTY.
Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, Mr. PITT had
an interview with Lord HAwmtsauax, at his
house in Piccadilly.
On Saturday Lord MELVILLI entertained Mr.
Pirr, Earl ROSSLYN, Col. HOPE, and Messrs. NV.
and 1,1. DrNDAs, &c. &c. at dinner.
Satuz,ky morning the door leading to the back
entrance of the Queen's House was opened, for the
first time since Ht: MAJESTY'S indi,position, for
the admittance of tra&smen, &cc.

The Gazette of Saturday contains a notice to all
Officers on the Half.pay of the Land Forces, whether
resident in Great Britain, Ireland, or the adjacent
Islands, to transmit immediately to the Secretary at
War, an aCtount in writing, of their age, past services,
rank, and present place of abode ; and such as think
themselves, from age or infirmities, unfit for further
service, even in this Country, are to accompany their
reports with sufficient vouchers of their inability, and
the causes thereof. The Officers on half-pay who are
serving in the Militia, Fencibles, or Volunteers, are
to specify the Commissions which they respedively
hold, and those otherwise employed under Govern.
ment, the nature of the public situation which they
possess.—Every such Officer. w ho, shall neglect to
make his report within one month from the loth
instant, will be considered as otherwise provided
for, or dead, and his name will be struck off the
Half-pay List accordingly.
To-morrow morning the Royal Westminster Vo-
lunteers are to parade in the King's Mews at eight
o'clock, with canteens and haversacks with provi.
sion fur the day, and proceed to the country to fire
ball cartridge for ten medals (one for each company)
.given by Major 1w ININo.

The Royal East London Regiment of Militia
was on Saturday morning inspened by Major-Gen.
LEst,t in the Artillety Ground. The battalion
went through a variety of mauceuvreq with great
precision and alertness, and the different firing%
were executed in the best possible manner. Col.

to the City Volunteers, by the Right Hon. the
LORD MAYOR, which were voted to them by the
Corporation of the City of London. Friday next,
on Blackheath, was agreed upon as most move-
r.ient. The general plan of the day has been prin-
cipally arranged by the Lottp I\ll.‘Yolt upon a

The embarkation being completed, the different
Corps will be kept dtstina from each other by a pro-
per distribution of camp colours.
To add to the grandeur of the scene, the Lord

FIZANG'E.

TRIBUNATE, MAI. T.
'EXTRAORDINARY SITTING,

AN extraordinary crowd of spenators this day,
as yesterday, filled the Tribunes, and the interior of
the Hall.
The Sitting was opened at two o'clock, The
President intimated,, that CAR NOT being the only
Tribune whose name was inscribed against the
Motion, liberty of addressing th►e Tribunate was
afforded him.

CARNOT mounted the Trihnne. He set out with
declaring, that being to speak against the motion
of CUREE, he should endeavour to preserve the
same moderation in delivering his opinion, which-
had been exhibited by the Tribunes who had spoken
in favour of the Motion. He added',, that he re.;
ferred those who wished to put a badconstruaion
on his sentiments, to the rigid examination of his
conthia since the commencement of the Revolution.
He took up the question of conferring on Botirt-
PARTE the dignity of EmpEROR for liat, and making
it Hereditary in his family. , He asked, if it was
to grant the FIRST CONSUL a reward for his ser-
vices, to offer him the sacrifice of liberty ? He
asked, wh...ther it was not to destroy BONAPARTE'S
own work, to make France his private patrimony
I. voted against the Consulate for life, continued
the Orator, and I will not this day follow a differ- ,
ent course. I will be consistent with myself ; but
the
,moment that the order of things which is pro.
posed is established, I will be the fimt to conform
to it, and to yield to the new authority proofs of
my deference. May all the Members of the Com-
munity follow 'tie same example. The Orator went
on to the examination of the form of Government
proposed to be established. He cited a number of
examples from the History of Rome, and drew.as an
inference from them, that a Government by one in.
dividual was not in the smallest degree a sure pledge
of its stability or its tranquillity. He applied the same
inference to the History of France, where intestine
commotions and civil discords so often existed un-
der the government of Princes, weak or unworthy
of governing.
After the Peace of Amiens, continued CARNOT,
BONAPARTE had the choice between a Republic or
a Monarchy ; but he bad sworn to defend the former,
and to respect`{ the wishes of-France, which had made
him their guardian. Now it was proposed to 'make •
of that power a property, of which, at present, only
the Administration is possessed.
The Romans were most jealous of their liberty,
and CAMILLUS FABIUS and CINCINNATUS only
saved the Country because they relinquished the
power which had been confided to them after they
had saved their Country. But the liberty of Rome
perished as soon as CMSAR wished to usurp absolute
power.
CARNOT cited the example of the United States.
It was reserved for the New World to chew to the
Old the praaicability of a nation's enjoying liberty,
and the rising prosperity of the people. The de-
stinies to which they appeared to be called, left no
doubt remaining of the existence of that truth.--
After discussing a variety of general principles,
CARNOT made some particular observations. Will
(said lie) the opinion of the. Public Funaionaries be
the free wish of the whole Nation.? Will there not
be inconveniencies attending the expression of an
opposite sentiment ? Is the Liberty of the Press so
much restrained and degraded, that it will be im.
possible to make, in the Public Prints, the most re..
speftful remonstrances against the proposed arrange-
ment ?

The Orator conlidered the question in another
point of view. Ili asked, if the expulsion of the
BoußßoNs at all involved the necessity of a new
Dynasty ; if the establishment of that Dynasty would
not place obstacles in the way of a general Peace ;
if it would be recognized by foreign powers, and if
in case of a refusal to recognize it, arms would ne-
cessarily be resorted to, and for an empty title the
security of the French Nation would not perhaps be
endangered ? This is not the only means which the
existing Government has of consolidating itself.
The means of this consolidation consists in ad-
herence to justice. Fir be it from me here to make
any particular application, or to cast any blame ou
the operations of Government. Such a thought has
no place in my heart.
Is liberty then disclosed to man only that it may
never be enjoyed ?—No ! I cannot consent to regard
it as a mere chimera, and my heart tells me that its
government is easy. In conclusion, said the Orator
—I am ready, to sacrifice my personal opinion to
the interests of my Country. My respett for the
Law will remain unalterable, and I desire above all
things, to see every opinion, and every sentiment
united against our eternal, our implacable enemy,
that enemy which is now meditating universal op.
pression. I vote against the motion.

FAURE next mounted the Tribune. He applied
himself to the refutation of CARNOr's speech. He
asked, if he had well manifested his respeft for the
Law, by reminding them that he had on a preceding
occasion voted against the Consulship for life, sanc-
tioned by the vote of more than a million of French-
men ? He asked him, if he had forgotten the regime
of 1793, and that horrible Decemviral Committee
which, in cold blood, signed arrests for death and
proscriptions ? and he was astonished at hearing
of apposition to that proposition which alone could
prevent the return of such Miseries. We are not
.here to consider the interests of an individual fa-
mily, but the interests of the whole Nation. Here
FAURE entered into an examination of the State of
France in 1789 and its present situation. He inquired
what were the propositiOns contained in the loose
draught of the Constituent Assembly, and he found
their completion in the form of Government, which
it was now proposed to establish. He supported
the IN/lotion.
ARNOULD began in the following. terms the
Speech which he also delivered in favour of the Mo-
tion :
What is this fatality which has seized our col.
league, which renders him the pas,ive witness of
the outrageS of the Committees of Public Safety,
which carries him to the Directory, and cannot fur-
nish him with the, means of going good to the pen.

tinuat of the, discussion on the Motion of CURER.
CHAst.re,O t,r contended, that the intention of the
French` Tad always been to establish a .Monarchical
form of Government. The wish formed in 1789,
was now to be fulfilled, and no person than BONA-
PARTE could better fulfil this wish, which will con-
stitute the happiness of France and our posterity.
He voted for the Motion, and six Copies of his Speech
were ordered to he printed.
PERREE formed the wish di fated to him bY his
sin,;erity and his conscience. He added a few,worcis
to corroborate what had been said, to prove how
Weil BONAPARTE was worthy the dignity to which
the French People called him. He particulatly di..
retied his observations to shew what a powerful
guarantee posterity would possess in the hereditary
succession proposed. The latest posterity of the
head of the Government, said he, will seek in the
h'istory .of ,BONAPARTN the example which they
t?..gilt to 1.411pw. They will respeft his glory, and
never shall our. posterity have reason to reproach us
for the wish which,we form this day. The Speech
was Ordered to be printed.
CAfiRET and DELPIERRE joined their• wishes to
that of their Colleagues. This is not the time, said
DELPIERRE, when the People were the property
of Kings. Ihe interests of both are now common.
Their repose, their stability, and their happiness
are henceforth inseparable.
FAVARD—I know that the FIRST CONSUL, the
august head of the Government, has the wishes of the
French People. The pens of the eloquent are em.
ployed in celebrating his glory; and posterity,'
which is the judge of great men, will only, re-echo
the language of the age in which he lived. I know
the place which he occupies in Their hearts ; I know,
if I can judge by myself, the devotion which he
merits, and with which he has inspired you. I
know all the rights which his eminent services give
him to the dignity of Emperor, and tO have it made
hereditary in his family. But let us examine ab.
stratedly, from all personal' feelings of gratitude
and love, if the unity and hereditary succession of
the CHIEF CONSUL, be consistent with the Govern,.
ment of France.

Different States have a right to that form of Go-
vernment which they enj.)y, according to principles
invariable as that nature from which they originate.
In vain political maladies affea and suspend those
principles tor a moment. The crisis ceases, and
nature resumes her rights. It is the nature of [hinge,
that a Country of vast extent, whose security is not
guaranteed by its physical position, and whose re.
lations with its neighbours incessantly menace its
tranquillity, ought to be governed by one head.
Rome, at its birth, had Kings, because the States
which surrounded were governed by Kings. Rome,
after conquering her neighbours, expelled the Kings.
and created Consuls. When her power had gone
beyond the limits of her territories, when she had
to combat nations far remlyed from the centre of
her dominions, even the• excessive love of liberty
could not .prevent the ruin of the Republic, and
Emperors were elevated to the Throne.

Happy would have been that great nation, if the
first of their Emperors had, as he had is in his
power, made the Government hereditary in his
family. The scenes which'covered the Throne
with blood—the Civil Wars which desolated that
vast empire, and precipitated its downfall, would
not have sullied the page of the history of these
masters of the world. But one great error led to
dreadful abuses. On the ruins of a Monarthy de.
stroyed, an attempt was made to substitute a Mo-
narchical Government., France must have been de-
stroyed, if the genius of Bo NAPARTE had not created
the Consulship, to precede for a few years the crea-
tion of the Imperial dignity.
He is called to this elevated post by the unani-
mous wish, and this wish is the first sentiment
which ought to give rise to military services.
He had, as Consul, the power of performing vast
services, and you have seen that he has used it
with a degree of success of which no example is al-
forded in the history of the world. This is enough
for his own glory, but it is not enough for the hap-
piness of France,
It is in the nature of things, that if Empires
prosper under a great man, the moment which de.
prives them of his services menaces them with some
dreadful explosion, if the same moment does not sub.
stitute in his place him who is to be his successor.
It is then that Ambition becomes inflamed, and long
before Ambition prepares in secret the means of sup-
planting riv Ms.
Long disputes, succeeded by civil wars, agitate
the minds of men, disturb for ages the union of Ci—
tizens, arid the people are often so unfortunate as
nor to see who is the most worthy, among the rival
candidates, to receive the sceptre of which death bas
bereaved the object} of their regret.
What then can prevent these disasters ? A Con.
stitutional Law which fixes the line of succession,
and which gives to the family of the Chief the new
Dynasty,
This is the objen of the Motion under discus.
sion, and I assent to it, persuaded that if the Empire
is the price of the virtues of the great man who is
called to the Imperial dignity, the succession to it
by the family guarantees to France ages of glory and
of repose.

C(.,STAS endeavoured to prove that the Motion
was one funded on utility, that it was salutary and
patriotic. He alsu replied to the arguments. used
yest,:rday by CAR NOT.
SAVO IC ROLLEN said, absolute Monarchy is the
most degrading of systems—Monarchy, connected
with the representative system, conciliated political
and civil liberty. In the excessive stage of civili-
zation to which we are arrived, there can be no
stability in the Government if it is athitrary ; but
it it is fou'led on Law, it is Licorruptible. FR E*

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KiNG's BENCI-1, MAY ta.

NATHANIEL PEACH WERTHEN, JOSErn CAMM, ANTI

HENRY FERRY.

Nathaniel Peach Werthen is Captain of the Severn
Riflemen, Samuel Werthen holds the same rank in
the Royal Stanley Sharp-shooters. These Gentle?
men, with their Corps, a few days since, proceedeil
to a spot agreed upon, to shoot at a target, in or-
der to determine which of the two Corpi were the
most deiterous marksmen. After this trial of skill,
which was in favour of the Severn Riflemen, they all
joined in a convivial dinner at Gloucester, when_ the
following Toast v‘ as given by one of the Gentlerri2n
" May the 'Gallic Cock never roost on the British Oak ;
but should he land, may the. Corps do their duty,
while the Stanley remains in the rear looking on."

Mr. BUrdon, a private in the latter, inserting the
transaaions of this cheerful day in The Gloucester
Journal, to prevent the ill humour that might result
from giving the Toast exaElly in that form, altered
it, and introduced, " May blth Corps do their
duty." This change was considered by Mr. Naha..
niel Peach Wetthen as a most serious offence, and
Mr. Burdon was infested with two challenges from
the Severn Riflemen ; and Mr. Nathaniel Peach
Werthen intimated, that Mr. B. would have to tin,
dergo all the dangers of platoon firing, as he should
consider the Corps which he commanded unworthy
his authority, if they would nut in succession re..
venge the honour of the Corps.
Mr. ERSKIN t stated the above particulais en be.

ballot- Mr. Bunion ; he said he sak.v with triumph,
that nearly 5c0,c00 Volunteers were in arms for the
defence of the Country, and he *as astonished so
much temperance and moderation had been obsery:.
ed ; but he had no doubt, that where this placable
spirit *as abandoned, the Court would consider it
right to interpose,—Rule to spew cause granted.
