A letter from Brigham, dated January 14, re-
ceived this morning, Ilates that a pan of the Channel
Fleet, under Admiral CORNWALLIS, was then feen
coming into Torbay. Our Portfmouth letter of the
isth Oates, that the DIAQOII, PLANT/W[llllT and
Palace GEORGII, belonging to the fame fleet, have
arrived at that port.
The REPULII, belonging to the fquadron under
Admiral COCHRAN!, off Faro', has captured and
tent into Plymouth a Spanifb yak' from the Ha.
•twmah to Cornnna, laden with cocoa, coffee, &c.
Twenty other veld, were in fight, and the fquadron
was left in chacrof them.

We prefent our Readers with a full and correa ac-
count of the opening Debates of the prefent Sefflon.
The mon interefting topic in his Majefty's Speech,
is the communication on the fubjea of overtures for
Peace. In our Paper of the t 4th we explained our fen-
timents fully on that important point. Thole fenti•
meats have received general approbation, and have
been confirmedly the tenor of the Debate in all its
ramification::

We are happy to find that Adminiftration do not
cut off all avenue to a negotiation ; they have aged
on the principles, not only of humanity, but of policy.
But the more attention we are enabled to pay to the
fubjea, the more we are convinced that a negociatien
cannot, in the prefent Rate of things, tend to a rue.
cefsful Ate. The expreffions of the French Govern-
ment, in their view of the Rate of the nation, bar,
the way to the hope of accommodation. The balls
of the treaty of Amiens will never again be affumed
in treating with France, unlefs this country is re.
duced to the mot humiliating Rate of degradation.
BONAPARTS experienced in i 800 the happy areas
of profrffing an inclination to treat for Peace. He
is now treading the fame ground, but he is only
lkimming over the furface ;—he will make no Peace
in the prefent junlture, unlefs he can reduce us to
the Rate which we defcribed two days ago. He is
imitating the condo& of the Optical Showman ;
holding out a rote to you; as loon as you attempt to
grafp it, it is fuddenly changed into a dagger.
In the mean time, the political fituation of this
country is by no means difcouraging. With the trade
of the World in our hands, with a continuation of the
fuperiority of our navy, we may with cheerfulnefs
fubmit to the burdens attending a permanent Rate of
warfare, rather than lofe at once, by an injudicious
peace, the means of preferving thole advantages.
In conformity with the advice which we gave, of
never treating an enemy with haughtinefs, but
hearing and anfwering his propofals with condefcen-
fion and dignity, we ere gad to inform our Readers
that, at an early hour this morning, a Meffenger was
fent off from the Secretary of State's Office for the
Foreign Department to Deal, with an anfwer, as we
conclude, from our Government to the Rulers of '
Fiance.

The Gaza: of laft night Bites, that the Knio has
been plcafed to declare the Right Hon. Haney 'VW-

ROT4L P.IMILr.

Yefterthy, about twelve o'clock, His MAIM'', at-
rived at the Qtteen's Houle from Kew. At half pall
one o'clock, ffer MAr am and the Princeffes, attend-
ed by Lady ATLIIIIIVItY, went to the Duke of York's
Office, at the Horfe Guards, where their Royal High-
nellis the Duke and Michels of YOU, with all their
attendants, were in waiting to receive them, and
awed them into a room on the firft floor, where a
molt fumptuous breakfaft was prepared, of which
they partook, and then retired to the room looking
on the parade, and appeared at the windows, to the
no final' gratification of a numerous populace. Her
MarisTv and the Duchefs of Yoza appeared at the
window, near the Admiralty, and the PRlNcisses at
the two other windows.

Her MAJESTY was dreffed in a elute cap, with ar-
tificial flowers in the front, a black velvet pelice, with
&white fur tippet and muff.

The Pluming, head dreffes were plain, but very
fancifully formed. They all had black velvet pe-
lilies ; the Prince(' MARY had a white fur tippet
and muff, fimilar to the Qy it au's.
The Duchefs of YORK was dreffed in white, and a
neat cap, trimmed with coloured ribbons.

At a quarter pall two o'clock his MAJISTY went
from the (teen's Houfe to St. James's Palace, fully
dreffed in regimentals, and what moll particularly
attrafted the notice of the multitude, in a wig of the
rue and charatier of the laft century. It was per.
fatly white and flaxen, a full bottom, and with three
tails—not refembling the wig of the Chancellor and
Judges, but equally bulby and more flowing.
- -

About twenty minutes before three o'clock, the
Royal Procaon began to move from the Palace to
the Houfe of Peers. In the two firli carriages were,
the Honourable Mr. ViLi.tans, the Groom in Wait-
ing, Colonel Risssau, the Slyer Stick, the Equerries
in Waiting, and feveral other Gentlemen attendants.
In the Mailer of the Horfe's carriage were, the Earl
of Hmtatacvoa, Gold Stick, and Lord Sat.sra, the
Mailer of the Robes. In his MAJESTY'S Elate car-
riage were, the Marquis of HERTFORD, Mailer of the
Honk, and Lord ARDEN, the Loid in Waiting.

As his MAJIsTY entered St. James's Park, by the
Stable-yard, he was faluted• by the band of the Se-
cond Regiment of Life Guards, playing Gov Vali.
the King," and the populace • with huzzas. As his
MAJISTY paired the Houfe Guards, he was fainted
by her Mammy and the Princeffes, from the win.:
dows of the Duke of YOIlleS office. The Royal
Proceffion palled on quietly till it came to the Houfe
Of Peers, where his• MAJISTY was again received
with huzzas from the populace. As the (late carriage
was drawing up to the door of the Houfe of Peeis,
the preffure of the crowd was fo extremely ftrong,
that Mr. HUMID, one of the King's footmen, was
preffed fo violently" againa the wheel of the coach,
that the fleeve of his coat was torn, and his arm fo
Mockingly bruited, that'on the return of the procef.
lion, he was obliged to have furgical affiftance. His
Maefty entered the Houfe of Peers exattly at three
o'clock, and his entrance was announced by one of
the Train of Artillery from the roof of the Houle
of Lords, waving a flag to the Lambeth (bore, when
a difchare of cannon took 'place. His MAJESTY
remained in the Houfe twenty-five minutes, and his
return was announced in a fimilar manner. The
Royal proceffion returned to St. James's Palace in
the fame order as it went.

His MAJISTY returned to the Qieen's houfe loon
afteifour o'clock, and at half-pafr four o'ckck his
MAJISTY fet off in his travelling carriage, efcorted
by a party of Light Horfe, for Blackheath, on a
vifit to the Prinmis of WALES, and at nine o'clock
returned to Key.

In the evening her Majairy had a feled party to
tea.

The Prince of WALLS, the Duke of CLARENCE,
and two or three more of the Royal Dukes were in
the Houle of Lords.

His Royal Highnefs the Prince of Waxts took his
between Lord CARLISLE and Lord Mori♦ ; and after
Lord GatavmLLl had delivered his fentiments, his
Royal Highnefs role and coixipfimented his Lordfhip
on his fpeech.
Lord SU:MOUTH was placed between his old friends,
Lords Fiewmasauly and BUCKINGHAMIHIRV, and
next to them were (sated Earl CAMDEN and Vifeount
Maxvixt.a. The Houle of Lords was quite filled ;
and it was nniverfally obferved, that his MAJESTY
never appeared in better health, or delivered the
Speech with more marked emphafis, or jolt min
ciation.

MAjor,General Sir Eras CooTx, K. B. is expelted
in Cm k in a few days, to re•a(fume the command of
that diftria.

Tuefday fe'nnight the Melpomene tranfport and
two brigs, arrived at Cove from Kinfalc, having on
board the 85th, or Pompadore regiment of foot.
The parapraph which appeared in feveral of the
Morning Papers of the 14th init. Rating that a race
had been run, for a thonfand guineas, between the
Telegraphllage coach belonging to Medi'. Rom [ITS
and THOMSON of Birmingham, and another coach
called the Defiance from Manchelter to London, and
that the Telegraph was overturned at Redburn, and
confequently gave up the canten—is, we underftand,
altogether a malicious fabrication ; and we are fully
convinced, from the well known charaLer and re
fpeßability of Mars. Rosser' and Tuostsom, that
they have too much prudence to fport with thcir pro-
perty, in the manner alluded to, and too much re-
gard for the lives and fafety of travellers, to enter-
tain the fmalleft idea of fuch a teanadion.
The inftitution of Clubs, for the laudable end of
focial enjoyments, does honour to every country. It
is arming, according to an excellent tong-"' The
Path of Life over with Flowers."—But how much
are thefe focial enjoyments increafed—Mirth heigh-
tened—and wit and good humour rendered more
fparkling, when the fmilesof Boa Fortsmc give a zeft
to the whole I--Never, therefore, did Clubs hit on
a more happy expedient for furthering this great end,
than by the gradual accumulation of a Stoch haft,
for the pnrchafe of Tickets and Shares in a
' State Lottery. The raft •fuperi ority of the prefent
Scheme, which commences drawing the 28th of this
month, is fo univerfally acknowledged, that it mutt
be perk/ilk needle(' to ufe any arguments for excit-
ing towards it, the fpecial attention of all clubs, both
in town and cowry.
