LO NDO N, APRIL 18, tBc,s3.

Art stated on Saturday, the intelligence which
we have since heard from several quarters, and feel
great concern in being under the necessity of giving
credit to it, that the Negotiation which has been
understood for some days past to have been goipg
on, with a view to add to the strength of the
present Government, by the introdutlion of Mr.
PITT and one or two of his leading Friends
into the Cabinet, has proved abortive. Entertain.
ing the lensiments which we hav'e ever uniformly
avowed of the late and the present Minister, we
cannot but deeply lament that the Country is not to
enjoy the benefit of the union of such worth, talents,
weight, and charaAer ; anti feel the more disap.
pointed, as we had' ventured to be sanguine as to
the result.

Where the views of either Party could have been
only direeled to the Public Advantage, we cannot
refrain from even expressing our surprize, that in.
superable difficulties should have presented them.
selves in the way of so desirable nod so promising
an arrangement. On which side obstacles were
started, we shall not pretend to state, and have
little inclination to give credit to any of the
various reports that have reached us on this
interesting subject On the one hand, we can
not he brought to believe that Mr. Ammo.
To betrayed any disposition to rake an unfair
and uneindid advantage of the circumstance of his
being 41 present in, possession of rower ;or, on the'

,Toler, that Mr. rill, can have required :Is a mu
v. 41 non, that all the GRENvtt.LE Party, :vlr.
W NJA-1/INit B,:e. should be ro.int,tated in choir
Offices. These Reports aivar t s ui ovally in_
credible.

O. this delicate sulijed eve ~hall abstain from of-
fering any opinion, until we May he enabled to be
pretty certain of the fatl, on which such opinion is
to be founded. In our regrets, we cannot doubt
but that a considerable part of our Readers and of
the Public will sincerely and strongly sympathize.

Paris Papers to the 15th inst. which ar-
rived yesterday, bring no intelligence of import-
ance. The Funds have experienced a slight de-

According to private Letters Which have been
received from Holland, the, FIRST CONSUL has
issued an• order for the disembarkation of the
Troops that were to have sailed on the Ex-
pedition to Louisiana.—These Troops, together
with those.whO are daily marching into the Dutch
Territories, are to be quartered in difFerent•parts
of that Republic, under the pretex; of defending it
in-case of a ruptUre with England. This paternal
care *Which the• FIRST CONSUL manifests for the
safety of Holland, appears not to be very agreeable
either.to the Government or to the People of that
country ; but any- resistance on their part to the
determined kindness of the FIRST CoNsul, would
at present be unavailing. The French General
MoNTRICH AR D, is said to have informed the Dutch
Government, that if they should refuse to comply
with his demands for tile-pay and subsistence bf the
French Troops, he would quarter them upon the In.
habitants, as' was done at the beginning of the Revo.
lution in t 79c. These Violent and arbitrary measures
will completely cure the people of that unfoitunate
Country; of any inclination they might have felt to
French Connexion ;I and it is not improbable that
the'FrenCh Troops may be employed in defending
Holland against the Dutch, rather than against the

IT has been asserted in several of the alma"
Gazettes, that the KING of SARDINIA had cede 3
that Island to the KENO of i...,NCLAND for a certain
Sum of. Money. We are informed from good au'

foundation, and that his SARDINIAN MAJESTY NS
never even entertained the idea of such Cession.

It has also been reported, that the Batavian
Squadron, under the orders of -Admiral.Ds.Ww.

assertion is equally destitute of truth.
