Lord CASTLEREAGH could not anticipate the
d?scussion that might take place. He did not pro.
pose to call for an opinion of the nature of that to
which the Honourable Gentleman had alluded. For
that which he should call upon them to come to, he
should state his reasons, but on the question whether
this country, in concert with her Allies, should renew
the war, or continue at peace, hb would not anticipate
the jeeinms of the House.

twin Catholics in Ireland, complaining of the pro-

We considered the Message of his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT, to both Houses of Parliament
yesterday afternoon, as too important to be withheld
for a moment from the Public, and therefore inserted
it in a Second Edition.

The Message, as We expected, was very temperate
and guarded. It merely informs Parliament, that
events having recently occurred in France in contra-
venti,in of the thgagenwnts concluded with the Al-
lied Powers in the month of April las% and threaten-
ing consequences dangerous to the tranquillity and
independence of Europe, his Royal Highness had
been induced to give directions for the augmentation
of his Majesty's Land and Sea Forces ; and had en-
tered into communications with our Allies for the
purpose of forming a concert for the security of
Europe.

It is remarkable that neither the names of Louts
XVIII. nor NAPOLEON occur once in the Message—a
proof of the truth of what we stated on Tuesday
!ast, that our Government, though, as in duty
bound, anxious to provide for the safety of the State,
at this most singular crisis, and active in their prepa-
rations to repel aggression of any kind, have re-
vived to be equally easeful mot to COMMA the coun-
ty on the question of the interior policy of France.
That is, if compelled to go into a war, it will not
be to decide chat, whether the French Nation shall
will it or not, LOMB shall be the King of France ?
It will be seen, in our report of the proceedings in
Parliament last bight, that. it was asked in both
Houses.--whethet any Secret Article annexed to the
Treaty of Paris, or any secret Understanding entered
into by the parties to that treaty, pledged the Allies
to maintain the House of BounnoN on the Throne of
France ? mat the Earl of LIVERPOOL, in the Peers.
said, the rumour of the existence of any such article
was totally unfounded ; and that Lord CASILEREAGH,
in the Commons, was equally express in stating_ .'-at
no secret article, understanding, or engagement of
this kind, existed.
We were confident, before this avowal, that Minis.
tens never could have involved the country in such a
pledge. Even if brany untoward occurrence they
had so involved theraSelves, we were satisfied that
the very circumstance of the culpable conduct of the
BOURBONS, in allowing an adventurer, with only 600
men, to steal their throne and kingdom, would have
absolved them from the obligation ; for in every com-
pact there are reciprocal engagements. But it is
much better that the country should be found able to
follow a line of conduct which shall require no spe•
cial pleading to justify her proceedings.
This declaration of Ministers was received as it
ought to be by the leaders of the Oppositions indeed
en this point there can be but one feeling in the coun-
try. With such a declaration, it was impossible that
Parliament could hesitate to sanction the measures
announced in the Message of the PRINCE REGENT.
As the Message will come into regular discussion in
both Houses this night, we feel that any further re-
marks at present would be improper.

This day a Flanders mail arrived, best the Journals
brcught by it are only one day later than those we
received yesterday. Their contents are of a similar
complain% The troops of the Allies are every
Where in motion. The Austrian army is stated to be
ready 800,000 effective men ; and the Wirtem-
Lthers, watching the bridge which crosses the
Iti4ae between Kehl and Strasburgh, with 80,000
nlta. At Dusseldorf the volunteers have been called
otit..is when the Allies last marched against France ;
a Iteastire which will probably be generally resorted
to along the countries on the Rhine.
Tiir attempt made by the Agents of BONAPARTE
to steal the son of the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA,
confirmed in these 2apers. None of the Brussels
Papers to the 4th instant inclusive, make any mention

of the Duke of WILLINOTOW. For ether particulars

tall will have learnt from die k'apers that all the
persons, natives of France. in the service of Maria
Louisa, have been dismissed, with orders to return to
their own country. This measure has been rigorously
enforced. The reason is this—a plan was discovered
to carry off the little Napoleon, and convey him to
Paris. A French Lady, who was nearly attached to
the young Prince, was chief accomplice in this plot :
she has been sent with an escort to the Rhine, which
she will cross to join her master, whose interests she
so well promoted. Since this, young Napoleon is
strictly watched.

AIX LA CHAPELLE, MARCH 31.
A Decree to the following effect has been pub-
lished here (the 27th) by the Chief of the Etat Major
of the Army of the Lqwer Rhine :

66 The relations with France make it necessary to
put again in force the former regulations respecting
the communication with that country.
66 No driver, no diligence is to take a traveller un-
less he be provided with a passport, signed by the
Commandant of the City. No relays are to be given
without a special order from the Commandant. A
mixed Committee shall be formed, charged to revise
the letters intended for France, and those coming
from that country. The former must, therefore, be
put into the post open—the latter will be unsealed.
The French Papers will be delivered, as soon as they
arrive, to the Military Commandant.
46 The road from Aix la Chapelle to Givet by
Liege is intercepted. Nu relays can be given along
this road; no public carriages and no carriers are per-
mitted to make use of it. The only communication
which, under the conditions prescribed, is kept open
with France, is by Liege, Brussels, &c."

GHENT, APRIL 1.

We expect here his Royal Highness the Prince of
Orange, who came to compliment the King of
France in the name of his august father. The ford-
lications of this city are repairing.

Marshal Nerleft Lille on the 29th to return to
Paris. There weresthen 6000 men at Lille, and some
other troops were expected there, intended to guard
the frontiers.

A large quantity of heavy artillery has passed
through here for Tournay and Oudinarde. A large
quantity has also been landed at Ostend, where Eng-
lish troops c•ntinue to arrive.

VIENNA. MARCH 23.
II It was yesterday we received by express the news
of the entrance of Napoleon into Lyons, in conse-
quence of the defection of the troops who were to
have defended it.

This event has caused a great sensation here; and
given a new impulse to the military preparations,'
which had hitherto been carried on with a degree of
reserve, on account of the smallness of the force with
which Napoleon landed. The troops are on the
march from all quarters. Some go to Lintz, others
directly to Italy. Couriers are sent to all parts of the
monatchy to hasten the march of the troops. Orders
were sent a week ago to the regiments on the confines
of Turkey to break up. The number of Austrian
troops destined to act against France is estimated at
800,000 Men. The Prince Royal of Wurtemburg
will emitmand an arrorot 80,000 in the neighbour.
hood of Strasburg. The departure of the Sovereigns
seems to be suspended; that of the King of Bavaria
is said to be put Gif for a week. The journal of the
proceedings of the Congress will, it is said, be cons-
pleted in a few days.
