. Mr. WINDHAM fupported the ;notion.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExativEn raid, he
concurred in the comment of his Hon. Friend, up-
on the conduct of the Hon. Gentleman who had
brought forward the motit,n. He obferved that
the exiflenee of Portugal, as an independent Na-
tion, had been expofed to immediate danger by the
arms of France and Spain, and that this country
tad ftipulated for her independence by the facrifiLe
of the poffellions we had taken in the Well Indies.
With rerped to that point which mull touch the
feelings ()revery man in the country, namely, the
Dignity of the Britilh Flag having been compro-
mifed, be maintained that it was unfounded. He
concluded by cenfuting the praElice of entering
into a difadlion at large upon a motion for the
produaion of papers.
TJe motion for a copy of the Treaty of Badajos,
referred to in the 7th Article of the Definitive
Treaty, was affented to. _

The. motion amended by Lord HAVIICESBURy,
for the produaion of copies of all treaties of peace
between France and Portugal concluded in
was alto agreed to.
The motion for a copy of the treaties, between
France and Spain,. which were communicated to
his Majefty's Government at any time fence the
commencement of the negotiation which led to the
fignature of the articles of peace, and which occa-
fioned the ceffion of any part of the Spanifh do-
minions in America, with the dates of fuch treaties,
was negatived.
Lord TIT.:PLI remarked, that Great Britain,
France, Spain, Holland, Auftria, Ruffia, and
Pruffia, were guarantees in the Definitive Treatyi
for the independence of Malta, he &fired therefore
to know whether Auftria, RuOla, and Pruffia, had
acceded to that treaty 3
Lord Hawitessuay laid, there bad been no re-
gular communication of the Aft having been done,
but he had no doubt thole Powers would accede
to it..

On the motion of Lnrd HAWKEHORY, the eon-
fideration of the Definitive Treaty was deferred
from Tuefday, the I ith of May, to Wednefday,
the lath.

PARIS, APRIL 30.—1 n a letter which the NS..
SIDE NT of the UNITE, STATES has recently tranf-
mined to THOMAS PAINE, to expedite his depar-
ture from France, he deplotes, in pathetic terms,
the (offerings, the undeterred fufferings, which to
long have awaited this perfecuted Patriot ; he re-
cognifes the eminent fervices he has rendered man-
kind by his literary produalons, and he begs him
to accept an ahlum in America, remote from the
ingratitude of Europe. In confequence Turmas
PAIN a leaves France in a fortnight, in a frigate of

at Havre de Grace,

A letter from Bourdealix, of the date of April
24, rays, dd We have in our harbour the veffel la
Clariffe, from Cape Francois ; the letters it brings
are of a date anterior to that of the official reports.
The veffel has been three months on her paffage.
41 A brig is kill arrived from Guadaloupe ; fhe
Rates, that wines fetch no price there; and that fpe-
culations in there articles do not afford much prof-
pea ; with refped to the fituation of the colony, it
is very favourable."
Ale tter from Berne, dated April 11, fops, "There
are now here a great number of troops, which have
been called in from different quarters, and more
have been fent for, not becaufe new commotions
are apprehended, but that the new order of things
may be confolidated without any trouble.
"Some of the Deputies of the Cantons, who were
appointed to come hither to affill in the formation
of the new Conftitntion, have declined that miffion
for various realms. We much regret that M.
Mean has not been able to make a proper return
to the confidence tellified to him by the Provifional
Government, and the general elleem he enjoys,
but his refufal was expeaed, and 'his motives were
too valid. The following is the letter which he
addrefed to the Petty Council
The Bate of my health obliges me to obferve
the &idea regimen ; and it would be impoffible
for me to fubmit to the fatigue occafioned by the
continual confesences, which mua be expeded
