lOWA 2UIS DICIIIII AUDIAT ?

LONDON, APRIL 26, 1803.

IT will be seen, from our Parliamentary Proceed-
ings, that in answer to' a question put to him in
the House last night, the CHANCELLOR of the
Exco re said, that he could not pledge himself
to any Spebifirc period for a Communication to Par_
liattrpti respecting the Negotiation with France.
In consequence of this answer, Colonel PATTEN has
put off his Motion for an Inquiry into the State of
the Nation, fur a week. It must be obvious to
every candid mat►, that in the present circum-
stances of the Country, it must be as much the
anxious wish, as it is unquestionably the duty of
His Majesty's Ministers, to make a communication
of some kind or other, the moment it can be done
with propriety, in order to relieve the Country
from its present state of anxiety and suspense.
The little, however, that did pass last night, will
serve to chew the folly, and indeed the wickedness in
which Borne of the Papers, and indeed most of them,
daily indulge, by for Ming speculations of the deli.
berations of the Cabinet, and the determinations of
BONArARTE, and amusing and misleading their
Readers and, the Public with these, as describing
the attual momentous state of things. One day
we hear from these presuming Journalists, that
" it is all War," and the very next, perhaps, "that
it is all Peace." This is one of the many serious
evils to which the present state of painful uncer-
taintly gives birth; hut it is in some measure a
volulltary evil, fur if the Public will listen to those
who are in the daily habits of deception, and are
without all, means of aCtual information, they have

9nly th4lll9;Kckto blame for any inconveniencies,
or uneasinels,,Ahich may he the result. We are
told iiri. these. Papers, with very unblushing confi.
dencc, the contents of a dispatch from Lord WHIT.
women, on an important point in the Negotiation,
which can only be known to His Majesty's Cabinet
Ministers, and we are likewise further kindly inform-
ed of the Answer which the Cabinet has returned,
though that Answer was sent off while the Cabi-
net was still sitting. We can hardly suppose it pos.
Bible that there can be any portion of the British
People so wholly ignorant or credulous as to be
the.dupes of such presumption. Our present situa.
tion has enough of real evil attached to it, without
the superadded operations of malignity and self-in-
terest. The part that Parliament is afting is prudent
and dignified. There is a calm forbearance which
we have no doubt will he found highly serviceable
to the Interests of the Country, and which, what.
ever may be the result of the Negotiation with
France, must add weight mid dignity to all its fu-
ture proceedings.

The attempt on the part of the French Cavern.
mrnt to pass M. Dg BUSY for an Italian, is rather
to be considered in a ludicrous point of view than
otherwise. At the same • time that we yesterday
gave the statement in the Afoxiieur respecting this
Gentleman, we were enabled' from . uur superior
sources :of infOrmation, to let the people of this
Countryint•O'h- little of the private history of this
man, who is now more talked of than he ever, per.

haps, expeded to be, when he ailed the treacherous
part to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of
which he was the servant, in icing instrumental
in the surrender of that Island to BONAPIqtTE on
his passage to Am. Our exposition of M. BUSY'S
birth, parentage, and education, seems to have ex-

cited the utmost anger in. the Circle of the Thuil-

!cries. We must ever feel gratified by such high
marks of resentment, when the occasion is connea.

ed, in the remotest degree, with the interests of

our country.

Yesterday being a' Holiday, little Business wa
done at the Stock-Exchange, but we believe, the
