of Leann, is perfealy underfiond by its Government,
and they have reafon to thank England for its pro.

nifier received difpatches from his Court oft Sunday.
The Members who attended the Cabinet Council
yellerday were, Lord Garamte, Lord H. Perri,
,Earl Standee. Lord Howsct, Mr. WINDI•4I4, and
Lnrd 811DICOUTK. After the Council broke op, a
Mellinger was fent.of to Paris. .
We have laid before our Readers ARM fuller weal,
trees from the French papers. The article froni
Frankfort, if we meld believe it caw from any and
thority, would merit the attention of our *ceders. It
is a narrative of the chopping and changes which are
meditated fhi the arroncfifTement of the new Conk

!Tinto before It was even fofpefted that Prulfia
would dare to hefitate .to give his approbation to the
new fyeetneor that the Emperor ALIZANDIR would
*reface to ratify the preliminary treaty figned by his

,

Miller et Pates. The fame remark.applies to the
articles front the Argot, a paper printed at Paris lip
the Bexhill; language, and which has but a very
spited circelation.

Britifh Government awed into fubmiffion, and ready
to accede to any terms that might be held out by
him.—He expelled this country to join in the general
exclamation. “ Who is like unto the Waft f Who
is able to make war with him 3" How galled then
mull he have been to End [ogee of the Northern
Powers demur to his new Contieeetal league—his
treaty with Raffia rejefted by Azszaaelit—bis in-
viiseible armies in Italy defeated by a heedful of Bri-
tith—and the MiniAry of this country, even before
the tall mentioned events were known, firm and in.
flexible !
That they have been firm and have not conceded
a tingle point originally refilled on as a balis, we
have no doubt whatever; but whether the points inn.
filled on were Inch as the country. in the circum
(lances in which it is placed, and confidering the ex-
tended and dangerous influence which France has
acquired, had a right to expo% we do not pretend
to have the means of knowing. The fentiment ap-
plied to Darre by the French Poet fbould be felt
On the Piace :—" Pair arrive,. /a .Mart, fear la d,Jrer
ai la eraitedre." But it is applicable in one part only
to the prefent feelings of our countrymen. They
indeed unanirnonfly (aye for Peace. but their fear:
predominate on the anticipation of Its nature end
confequences.
Whether it is in order to found the mind of the
people of this country, or for other " deep intents,"
the papers in the pay of Bo 44444 re give frequently
rumours of the terms propnfed or expclieil. Malta,
they now fay, is to be guaranteed to this country.—
This indeed is an article which we have always tour
fidered as indifpenfable, and from which no Minifler
of England can recede. Sicily is Paid to be the great
objeft of contention. The Paris Papers have affumed
as an indubitable pro/Juliann, what we own we can-
not clearly underarm(' : That it it aerial, that Skij
*at &Into the Cortiitteirt. Abfurd as this pi:ration is,
we know that the Furprrar, or rather the &rate
TOLLITIAND, is never at a leafs for a pretence. A
threat is held out, that if we do not abandon Sicily,
kiittigal will he conquered. We recoiled 'that the
fame threat was made in the year iitor ; but when ,
It was found that Mr. ADOliorns made preparations
to invade the Brazils, and ailualOy hired Madeira, the
conquea of Portugal was potlponed, as the advan-
tage would have been evidently on our fide.
Abandon Sicily to its fate I Betray the confidence
of the unfortunate Feet:flaw ! We rejoiced to hear
the manly fpeech of Mr. Fox on the PrtifEan hoai-
lities. We admired the principle of not permitting
amnions to be transferred, like cattle, from one pro-
prietor to another. We admired the prioriple ; but
we were not quite fo certain of the propriety of the
afrplitation of it to Hanover. We are every day mote

THE SICILIAN ARMY.
The letter of oar friend with this band of beroei*
has but juR reached us s he is unfortunately among
the wounded : his letter is Short, and we are referred
to the public difpatebes. Among the few particulars
which our friend was able to fend us, he mentions the
great popularity of General ST uair with the Soldiery,
and the general regret for the want of cavalry with
this large army : though it amounts to *bust te,oto
men now, the only cavalry is part of the Goth Dra•
goons, the principal part of this regiment being at the
Cape of Good Hope. The admiration was general
lof the behaviour of the Innifkillens—they behaved as
they ever have done, moll gallantly. Colonel Jolf m-
srom a led the 58th—they behaved as they did in
lEgypt ; higher praife no regiment could have. The
intrepidity of a young corps, the fecond battalion of
the 78th, or Rofsfhire Highlanders, led by Colonel
M.Laon, was the theme of univerfal pralfe. This
battalion is bur full raifed, and "they were here bled,"
as it is termed ; but no veteran corps could exceed
them—they emulated the charade: and conduit of
their countrymen, the Std, or Royal Highlanders.
