LONDON, 'APRIL 7, igo3.

Ws received this morning the Paris Papers tG
the ith inst. yheircontents-are not very import•
ant. It is stated potiitively, that the FIRST. Cox•
SUL will arrive it Brussels on the 25111 or 26th of
this month ; anti that he will afterwards have an in-
terview with the KING of Pktrsst A at Dusuldott•
A report is in circulation at the Hague, that the
Dutch Government has applied to one"of the grit
Ptiwers of the North, to obtain permission to pre.
serve its Neutrality in case of a War between
England and France. It is not very probah:e that
the Dutch Government would make such a request,
or if they had, that they would obtain it.

• It appears to us impossible to read the /Ifirnifej#
which appeared -in oar Paper of yesterday, %Yid'.
out being impressed with the convittion, rhaC
.the CHIEF CONSUL is determined upon a renely'l
of the War. Ills declaratitins are as explicit) a°
his abuse of our Government is coarse• and un-
just. The British Ministers arc accused d
" Dishonesty, of avowed enmity to
,theytelxll
Nation, of Perjury, , and a desire
violating a Solemn Treaty." 'These arc heavY

part of Europe that dare pronounce an opinido,will
judge whielti in this, as in the for Mer case, is the
Aggressor_. The War tvhich we shall have- to wage
will be. for
.Existence, and
.it will chiefly depend,
under thelavour of Providence:upon our own unani.
mity and exertions, whether the issue shall. be glo-
rious to us or nor. It is that -we may possess that
unanimity and success, that we' court the Union,
in the Executive Government, of those Talents and
Principles which, during unparalleled Domestic
Perils and ten years dreadful Warfare, preserved us
at once from the horrors of Revolution, and raised
tiur Resources and our Glory together,- to a pitch
thelttafled in our Annals. In this wish, We be-
lieve, we are supported, not only by a great Majo.
rity of the Nation, but by a great 'Majority like.
wise of the present Ministers. The Uprightness of
their intentions (the Majority of the present rvlini.
sters we mean), the real love they bear their Coun-
try, the principles, which they have uniformly prac-
tised, and a similarity of mind and sentiment, iden.
tify them with the Man to whom the- eyes of the
Nation are at this moment anxiously turned. The
measures of the present Ministry, as far as drat great
Mans sentiments are publicly known, have received
his warm and unqualified approbation and support.
Re approved of the Peace which the Ministers made,
• because he thought that Peace WAS necessary to; and
anxiously desired by, the Country, and because that,
even with such a Government as existed in France,
the experiment of Peace was worth the trial. That
'Peace was made, we rejoiced at the time, and we
taw as sincerely rejoice. •Short as it has been, the
Nation has had a breathing time, and we shall now
enter upon the War, if*War we must have, upon
ground which' the most inveterate and malignant
Oppositionist will find, it impossible to misrepre-
sent or condemn. Unlike an Ex-War Minister, and
his little band of Blood-hounds, we are not the Ad.
vacates, for War, much less for Eternal War—bellum
imique ad ifrtte.neeionem—but we are prepared to de,
fend, to the last drop of our blood, the Rights and
Independence of our Country. If we are thus then to
fight for our alt, we surely may be allowed to ex.
press a wish to be conduEled in the Field by those
Leaders whom we love.—Let Mr. PITT, Mr. An.
DINqTON, Lord lIAWSESBURY, Lord IVInviLLE,
and a few others whom we. could name, dicta} the
. Affairs. of the Natinn, and we shall think, not only
our Safety ensured, but our Viftory certain.

it will be seen from the F.xtraas which we have
inFxrted from the American Papers, that there is
a determination on the part of the UNI,TED STATRS,
to assert their right to the Free Navigation of the
Mississippi, with a spirit and a vigour which the ob.
jea certainly calls for, and which can scarcely fail

to involve them in hostilities with whatever Power
may be now in possession 'of Lollifielga, unless they
obtain a concession of the point in dispute.

making double to the left towards Blacknoss,'whete
he leaped over the paling into th,e Great P, got

A Morning Paper still, perseveres in misreading
its Readers,.by stating, that the publication ,of the
Dorset. Papers is only retarded by the 'Ellgravings.
Ivhich.the Dutchess has direeled to be made for the
Work, front' the original Paintings at..Knowle.
This is entirely an colt*. It is not, the intention
of the Family to publish the Papers at all..
There was'no celebration of Lord Wu r TWO turti 's
'Birth-clay in the great Hall at IC.nowle on Tuesday

den Theatre for next season, the Duna of-Yortic,
we understand, having previously given him his

81. per `week, and a benefit ; and we have no doubt
of the success of this promising' young Aftor, from
the proofs he has already given. .
Mrs. BILLINGTON is at present at Bularode, on
a visit to the 'Duke of PORTLAND'S Family, from
which place she proceeds to Bath.
There can be no doubt but that both Mrs. Sin:

When Mr.-Frto'sr's Supporters come to pay the
Costs attending the East Grinstead Petition,. they
will, no doubt, agree with the Committee, that the

probable.thats certain Baronet Ofpulitical notoriety
