SOLSM QUIS DICERS. FALSUM AUD2AT ?

LONDON, JUNE 16, 1804.

THE Proceedings in the House' of "Com Mons last
night, have, as we exPeCtea, been made thesubjza
of great exultation• by the Opponents of Admini-
titration ; their triumph; however, we may venture
to predid, will be of short duration. With regard
to the 'first Division which took place, it is ad-
.
Milted on all sides to have been. purely acci-
dental : even the leading Paper of the Party
takes no credit for the momentary superiority
Which they obtained ; it . contents itself with
defending its, Friends from any imputation of
trick upon the occasion• But the great source of
their miltation is, thai on the second. Division the
• Majority of the former Minister was not so great as on
Minister
It is, however', to be observed,
. that a gener l understanding prevailed between
D
ti
both Parties, Volt the
oei,ion upon the prin_
le of the Bill, or, in other words, •the real
trial Of strength, was -to take' place on the third
leading ore. Monday; Under this impression,
a great many Meinbers who approve of the ,Bill,
*tot expetling a Division, did not attend last night'
A favourable opporittity, hotvever (as it was
thought), of obtaining at least a temporary vidor,
presented itself to the Opposition, ' y
arid they' could
scot resist the temptation.
White the last Division was taking plate, Mr.
Pox, in a manner certainly not unprecedented;
though very yunusual, .:cquainted his friends in the
'hi'Yi that a Division on the Priociple of the Bill
would certainly take place on Monday ; on that
thy, therefore, the real sense of the House resFeaing
this measure will be known ; bit we by no means
admit that the ultimate Division upon this Bill;
'Whatever it may be, is a fair criterion by
to estimate the which
comparative strength of the Ad.ltinistratioir and their Opponents. This a
'
measure which stands entirely upon its own
groUnds, and, as We have already stated, is Op_
posed by niany Gentlemen
,who are the Friends of
Administration npon principles of
consistency, be-
tse tiley had previously voted for the Plan pro-
c'sed by Mr. 4ii*oater. Mr. AbCotstaToN divided
1'741' the Opposition on both the Divisions, and seems-
no Ringer to think that it is so very criminal to Oppose
the measures offsovernment:' It is notsvery easy to
t°niedure what ate the principles upon Which that
Gentleman and his Friends. are now Idling, or
What is the object they Wish to obtain: Sup..
Pose, for a mornent, that by joining the present
OPposition; they should so far succeed as to render
it necessary for Mr. Pirt to represent to His MA-
3EsTY the neCessity of strengtheningAdministration,'
by a jtinflion with some of those who now oppose
it ; surely they cannot imagine that Mr. PITT could
think of obtaining an accession of strength by a
• 'union with Mr. I-loot:cc-rote. In such a case
-lox most , Mr. •
probably would be the person resorted to,
and it is for the Gerolethen to wh we aliutie; to
nonsider• whether that be the objea they wish to
accomplish.

YESTERbAY evening we received parts Papers
to the Bth inst. and Dutch joarnah to the 13th.
Letters from Frankfort state, that the accession
of BONAPARTE to the Imperial Crown of France
had been officially notified to the different Germanic
States, and that the French Cisiirge d'Uairel
at R.atishon had made a general communication
upon the subjeft to the Diet, annexing to it the
,Stnatus Consultant
was conferred by which the Imperial Dignity
The French Minister gravely tells
Germany, that the law
which has raised BONA
ARTE to the Throne of the BOURBONS, has com-
pleted the organization
of the .State in a manner
suitable to the eligaii_y of the French People.
