imporcd upon hea eltployed to carry on a ne-I
'lion, concealing .toire Spain fo important a fall
the capture of their frigates by an ad of open
tiny. What could have been the avail of any
ingement concluded while that fee was unknown?
it not have broken up what had been done ?
it nor, therefore. in itfelf nogatot y, and to the
in; .rds moll infulting, to negociate with them,

rc..ru;ent to he experienced by this country from
Anil) dador negriciating in fuch a fituation, it
Übe doubtful whether the Ambalrador, to ufe
'safe of Mr. Frere, would efctpe away with im•
ity, from the more liberal fpirit of the mob.—
.there any good precedent for fuch a proceeding,
if there were any but thofe accurled precedents
o'y alluded to, let it be pointed out? flit was as
.afore of war then that the Spaniflt frigates were
toed, it was in purfuance of a fyllem of policy
(no,ther irreconcilable tolood faith. If it was as
-41ition, it was not a meafure that partook of the
to of precaution, becatife meafisres of precaution
direeed only against particular dangers, but
danger from the Spanith treafures or Spanith
'veer, were dangers not (silting at particular rat)•
nrs merely; but dangers of that fort that were to
;m9yed not by precaution, but by war. It ap-
wed too as if Minilters had felt fome remorfe for
they had done ; for they gave orders not to at.
merchant 'hips carrying treafure or fibres,
igh if it was necefrary for our 'elf-refetia.
to• to event flares and treafure reaching Spain
King's thips, it was equally neceffiny to prevent
king conveyed in merchants' (hips. What
ceded indulgence, therefore, was only a modifi-
in of what was felt to be unjuß, in order to miti-
its odium. With refpee to the nece(Bty of de-
ition of war, though wars had bees commenced
.tout declaration; yet the belt authorities Rated it'
be molt eligible to declare war firft ; and there was
ialtance at the commeoccment of that glorious war
:h began in 1702, that Government then, by a
lic Proclamation in the Gazette, ordered all (hips
ed and detrained previous to the declaration of war,
be releafed, as was Rated in the Proclamation, 64 in
iitance of the laws of nations." There was only
more ohfervation he had to make, and it was on
menace or caution to the Oppofition, not to damp
towage and zeal of the public, by cenfuring the
lue of Government, or arraigning the juftice of
cause ! But if thofe on his fide of the Houle were
convinced (and it was not in a man's own power
be convinced) of the wifdom of Adminittration,
of the justice of the war, what were they to do ?
ire they to (peak and vote againft their opinion, to
lent, or to leave the Houle r Had not his Ma-
Abby fubmitting the Papers to their confideration,
called for their Lair unbialted opinion ; and fuch an
oinion they were bound to give. The reputation of
liament was of the firft importance to the public
tack ant' that reputation could only be main-
aned while Parliament continued the faithful Coun-
cil of the King and the upright guardian of the State.
What could tend more to damp the national fpirit,
to make them rpteßion the refolres of Parlia-
it, than a fuppofinon that they did not (peak or
_ as they really thought, but were influenced by
patriotic fears of making unfavourable impreffions on
- public mind ? As, imwever, both in public and
private life fincerity was the fource of confidence,
in order to convince men of one's fincerity, it
necefrary to be flame, he conceived it his fir&
to declare his real fentiments, and to lay before
Wetly his real opinions. Thinking the Admi-
ration culpable in the condo& of the negotiation,
_ in the war with Spain, he law no reafon why he
fhould not by his fpeech and by his vote exprefs thole
iments, and therefore gave his hearty alfent to the
.rnendment.

MILAN, Jaw. t+ —The expethtion of the Italian
Republic, which has been fixed at Paris, fince the
Vice-Prefident biszzt, all the Members of the Con-
fulta, and feveral other of the moR dillinguifhed
funainnaries, appointed Deputies to the Coronation,
have repaired to the prefence of the Emperor, their
Prefident, will not be difappointed. This expedi-
tion was, that the refutt of the conferences at Paris
would be, tome remarkable change of their Govern.
ment, analogous to the principles which adnally go-
vern in France. The Gazette announces as follows :

" On the 3oth of December loft, the Deputation
of our Republic was prefented to his Imperial Ma.
jelly, by the Counfellor of Stale, blaasscam.cmr,
Member of Foreign Relations. They were direaed
to affemble in the Conti'ha of State, under the
Prelidency of the Vice-Prefident, in order to prepare,
with the greatefi folicitude, and fubliquently to pre-
fect to his Malay, a plan which lhould fix the del-
tiny of our country. The ideas clnimunicated upon
this creation by his Majefty, give us the molt flat-
tering hopes, that this work will have for its obje& a
liable Conflitution, by means of which the fupreme
power will receive that concen:ration neeeffary to all
Hates; but efpecially to our's; which is compofed of
f° many heterogeneous parts, and !till feels the in-
' flume of political diffentions ; that it will alto
that durability, without which its concentration
would be ufelefs, and perhaps even dangerous. The
Commiffion, therefore, ts at prefent employed upon
Ithis important work. No refolution has, as yet,
been taken, and all that could be published on the
fubjeit, would be deftitute of all foundation. All
that can be Paid with certainty is, that the refult
will be molt advantageous for our finances, by the
re-eftablifhmeot of order within, and the mainte-
nance of peace abroad."'
"• There are jolt arrived upon the territories of the
Italian Republic, Come Bodies of French Cavalry
and Infantry, upon their return from the kingdom of
Naples. Their return into Upper Italy, can only be
regarded as a coofequence of the removal of the
troop, which is conftantly taking place from time to
time in thefe countries. A circumstance more wor-
thy of attention, is the intelligence tranfmitted from
the city of Naples, that a Ruffiao (quadron has en-
tered the road of hat harbour, confilting of five fail
of the line and frigates ; and that other Ruffian (hips
of war were expeifted immediately. This !quadron
anchored on the 3oth of December, and at the de-
parture of the polt on the tft of January, it was (till
unknown whether thefe (hips, which were moored in
fight of the city, had troops on board or not. The
correfpondence between the Cabinets of Naples and
Paris is carried on with aftivity. A courier of the
former paired through Rome very early in the month
( January). Rome is fad Ruffian Officers, attraift-
.ed by their curiofity.
Vltava, Jai. tcr.—A French courier has brought
the intelligence, that the Ambaffador Baum' has at

Switzerland, on the occaflon of the points ,bat re-
main to be fettled between Auftria and the Swifs Re-
public.

HILSINGAORG, Jas. 22.—This day we bad the
pleafure of 'feeing our beloved Sovereign returned
fafe to Sweded, after being received with great at-
tention by the Dana Crown Prince, and other
Princes, at Elfinear.

SroceitoLat,jaa. ts.—A few days ago, an Eng-
lint Courier pafi ed through this city, on his way from
London to St. Peterftturgh. The object of his mif-
fion mud be of the timed importance, as he travel-
led with the greateit expedition, without lopping
any where.
CONSTANTINOPLA, Dec. n.--It has already been
Rated, that the Porte agreed to leave Ifinael Pacha
in poffeffion of the Uovernment of Acre, on condition
that he Ihould give up the treafures of his predeceffor
Ghezzar Pacha. In confegoence of this refolution,
the Captain Pacha rayed the blockade of Acre, and
arrived with his feltiadron at COtiltintlnople, on the
agth of November; but the treafure of Ghezzar Pa.
cha, which was ruppofed to amount to eight or nine
millions, has difappointed the public expedation : it
eonfifts only of 71,000 feivins, and two cargoes of
coffee and rice, amounting, in the whole, to 1,500,000
piaftres only. On the fufpicion that the Captain Pa-
cha has either appropriated a part of the treafure to
his own ufe, or made lonic unlawful agreement with
Ifmael, the Sultan ordered him to Ise put to death ;
however, on. the interceffion of one of the favourite
Sultanas of Julie(' Aga, and of other great men, fen.
tence of death was commuted into That of depofition,
and it is even thought, he will be permitted to keep
his property, with-leave to refide here, or in Afia.—
His fecceffor is the Bollangi B.tfchi.
Dec. r6.—The Sultan expetted to receive at leaft
a fum of the treafure left by Ghezzar Pacha, (effici-
ent to reimburfe the forced contribution of 3,000,000
piaftres, railed a few weeks ago for paying the ar-
rears due to the troops. It is thought that this fud-
den difmiffion of the Captain Pacha, whO was for
a long time a fatiourite of the GRAND SEIc;NIOR, is
conneded with the prefent political fyficm' of the
Porte.

Letters from Aleppo Rate, that Mahmud Pacha,
late Gout nor of that place, has made an agreement
with the inhabitants, by which lit is reinftated. But
he has received fuck as estenlioh 'of power by this
agreement, that the public tranquillity is in dan-
ger thereby.
The fame letters Rate, that the Pacha of Bagdad
was•iln his march, with a ftrong body of troops, to
oppofe the recent progrefs of the Wechabis.

The Adjourned Debate on the Spanith War la&
night was very interefting. Some of the arguments
of thofe who fupported Mr. Gas v's Amendment were
very ingenious; but Minifters, we think, fueeeeded iia
proving that the war could not have been avoided,
and that it would have been eladnefi, and a breech
of public duty, to have delayed it any longer.

We have feen letters from Madrid of dates much
later than the accounts from thence, via Gibraltar,
which are Went refpeaing the reported death of the
Prince of Peace, The intelligence may therefore be
confidered as unfounded.

Admiral COILIIW‘LLtS, with his fqnadron, failed

Bra The Rochefort fquadron, it now appears, got
into that port on the 29th ult. They were fees to
enter in a very crippled Rate by fosse of the sails
belonging to our in-fhore divifion. The letters from
Lifbon do not confirm the French accounts, Rating
that Portugal had figned a Treaty, pledging herfelf
to make a common caufe with Francip and Spain ;
but they intimate firong apprehenfion% that fuch a
meafure is at no great dinance. The report that Sir
JOHN Osos had declared Cadiz in a Rate of liege is
confirmed by thefe letters.
