this day,Mr. ADDINGTON, after pointing out the in-
formality of the Motion, stated, " that he could no t
inform the House whether Lord WHITWORTH was or
was not on his way from Paris, but there was no pro.
bability of any information whatever being received,
so as to enable him to make any Communicatim
from Hts MAJESTY this day. Afterwards, ittexpla-
nation, he added, " that circumstances had occurred
which did produce some delay, but which delay
would be inconsiderable,"

-Dover Letter of last night states, that -a
French Boat arrived yesterday morning with a
letter from Ca/air for a Mercantile House there,
and several vessels were in sight yesterday eiening,
but they' were all French Packets. It is certain
that none of them contained an English Messenger,
or he must have been in Town long before this.

The following remarks on the Negotiation ap.
peared in a Paper of this morning.

' "We yesterday heard that Ministers entertained
greater hopes than they had done, of the amicable
termination of the Negotiation. But what hope
is the Nation to form from such a termination ?
That Peace may be the issue we most devoutly
wish I but is the grand line of policy which this
Country has to pursue so .faintly traced in the
minds of our Ministers, that its observance is
dependant upon the dithon of a French Consul ?
We cannot believe it.—Besides, if the evacuation
of Holland, by the French Troops, be a stipulation
in our renewed Negotiation with France, (of which
we ourselves entertain no doubt it is) does it look
like any desire, on the part of the French Govern-
ment, to accede to bur demand, or substantially to
observe it, should they ostensibly comply, that they
have within the last 'fortnight—since the period in
which an indication of compliance with these de-
mands of our Ministers short have been made, if
the CONSUL means Peace—marched a large addi-
tional Army into Holland, have seized, in defiance of
the Batavian Government, upon several of their For.:
tresses—have levied contributions, and have proceed.
ed in every respect as if Holland, in place of being a
Country in alliance with them, were for the first
trine invaded by a conquering Army ? Does Ibis
we ask, look like a compliance with the demands
of the British Cabinet, the just demand:, we will
maintain, and which we hi, now perhaps to regret
were not sooner made and enforced ? We have ever
professed ourselves, as we have in reality, been, the
sincere and ardent friends of Peace, and we have
• taken frequent occasion to reprobate those who were
perpetually sounding the IVar-nuboop in our ears.
Mr. Fox did us the honour last night to ad-
vert to an expression of ours, which this feel.
ing upon a former occasion drew from us, and
which we still think justifiable as we used it, tho'
it has by our Enemies been much perverted and
misapplied. We aimed it at one Man only of any
consideration in public life, associatint, however
with him those who, under his santlion,e'have, un-
der every change. of circumstances, persevered in
srmnd ng the discordant Note of indeterminable
War. That such sentiments were at variance
with those of People of this Country, we
are satisfied, and they are equally so now—but
Englishmen have sense enough to discriminate be-
tween the magnitude of evils, and they would
under certain circumstances prefer War to Peace.
The period of such discrimination is unfortunately
come. If we are to have secure Peace, with a chance
of its permanency, we shall rejoice most heartily, but
if the French Government yield in cuords only, if they
comply with our demands respecting Malta, for of
that post fortunately they cannot deprive us -hut
with our own consent, what security can we receive
Olt the other points implicated in the Negotiation
will be satisfactorily arranged ? Does it, as we
hive remarked, shew any disposition on the part of
the CHI sp CO NSIJ t. to comply with our demands that
he increases his force in Ail/and? Does it shew a
conciliating disposition with respeti to B,mi:zit/wed
that he procures his creatures there to address him
in a'stile of ridiculous bombast, thanking him for
restoring their ancient ConstitUtion ? These arc
alts that can only be meant as insults to this Coun.
try, under all the circumstances- of the present Ne-
gotiation, for they have been planned and executed
long after that Negotiation began. Still, however,
we shall hail Peace, if such be the result, provided
it be a Peace-which the GREAT STATESMEN of this I
Country shall approve."
