LONDON, MAY 18, 1804.

Br a private Letter received from Petersburgh,

we are informed, that Two Hundred Thousand
...Inssian Troops are assembled on the Frontiers of
.;'ra,,sia, and that it was daily expected that War
tvould be declared against France.

THE Revolution which we have long predifted,
is on the eve of taking place in France. In a
very short time the French Republic will exist no
more ; and France, in the short space of twelve
years, will have been a Kingdom, a Republic, and
an Empire. The Tribunate have passed a kind
of Argumentative Decree, in which they state,
that France had made •trial of different forms of
Government, and had experienced nothing but
anarchy, but having found both tranquillity and
glory under the Government of a single Individual,
they think the happiness of France requires that she
ihould have an Hereditary Chief ; that that Chief
should be BONApARTE, and that his title should he
that of Emperor. They, therefore, vote that NA.
L EON BONAP ART E be proclaimed Emperor of the
French, and that the Imperial Dignity be made
hereditary in his Family in the Male Line, accord.
ing to the rights of primogeniture. This. Decree
has been communicated to the Conservative Se-
nate, where it will probably meet with as little op-
position as it did in the Tribunate, where it was
opposed only by CARroT.
This change in the foni of the French Govern-
me;t; given rise Paris, to many reports
of
,)rnb'abi;ity of tl-:e restoration of Peace.; but un.:
as w.7.:11 fori-,1 'of GiiVern.

is 'neither probable nor desirable. Reports M a
similar nature were circulated about Town yester.
day, and the arrival of Mr. LINT INGSTON at South.
ampton from Paris, was considered by many San_
guine Politicians as positive proof that he came
charged with some Propositions from BoNAFARTE ;
but we confess We shall require some more satisfac-
tory evidence, before we give credit to it.
There is an article in the Moniteur, on the sub_
jeet of the Invasion, written with more temper than
is usual in that Paper. It however states, that
" happen what may, England shall never retain
Malta;" and it concludes with this singular ex-
pression " When we think proper we will make
the descent—if we were not to make it for years,
our success would only be the more secure."

IT was yesterday stated, that Dispatches had been
received from Sir SIDNEY SMITH, announcing the
sailing of the Dutch Fleet, consisting of five Sail
and sixty Transports, and that he was in pursuit
of them.—We do not attach any credit to this
report,

THOUGH the return of Mr. PITT to Office was
marked by that disinterested spirit which has always
distinguished his condua, it is every day made the
subjea of the most venomous attacks from a disap-
pointed Party. Nothing, however, like faa, no-
thing like argument, has been advanced against him
on this occasion ; and, in truth, all the attacks upon
him are but covert attacks upon the Constitutional
Prerogative of the Crown. The controul of Par.
liament operated in the removal of an Admi-
nistration that did not appear equal in weight
and influence to the exigencies of the mo-
ment. All this was constitutional, and here
the controul of Parliament properly ended. But
this is not enough for the friends of the New
Opposition ; they wanted the controul of Parlia-
ment to destroy the balance of the Constitution, by
usurping the right of the Executive Power to chuse
its own Ministers. Mr. PITT, as far as,the Public
can know what passed between him and the Supreme
Head of the State, endeavoured to give effeft to the
apparent wish of a considerable body of the Repre-
sentatives of the People, in forming a New Admini-
stration upon the broadest basis, and certainly without
the only exclusion which is understood to have been re-
quired in the high quarter alluded to—an exclusion
warranted by numberless reasons, and justified by one
which recently occurred at the Whig Club. The oppo-
nents of Mr. PITT at first gave him full credit
for having made such an effort, and for having
made it with sincerity ; yet they still ailed to
condemn him for returning to Power, though in
obedience to the Commands of His ROYAL MAS-
TER—in conformity to the true principles of the
Constitution, by which l;e was chosen—and in
fulfilment of his duty to his Country, at a crisis
of unexampled danger.
