FROM THE COURT GAZETTE.
PROCLAMATION—FRANCIS 11. Etc fee.
0 1 have given peace to my good and faithful p. ogle. My refo•
Unions have united with their I renounced all hopes of a
change in the fortune of war, to banifh with promptitude all the
dangers and fufferings to win' my flouriling country, and even
• the heart of the monarchy, my capital and refidence' were (S-
-pnred. The facrifices are great, and they were with difficulty
wrung from my heart—but they could not Rand in competition
with the welfare, the domain' and civil welfare, of millions. For
there! made the facrifice • and I capeel my indemnification In the
bleffings which are promked to my people by the return of peace.
I know no other happinefs then that of my people—and no glory
lupe; for to that of the Father o:' theft people, who in loyalty, ern •
waken fidelity, and difinterefted love to their rovereign and their
country,give place ton° nation in Europe. The fair (ine of their
national charader has eluded an unwilling tribute of kneels', even
from the enemy ; but in my heart they have filed a monument,
which time itfelf will not be able to deitroy.
" Under there ernotioas I returned to my radence, in the cir-
cle el my loyal and efUmable citizens and inhabitants, and to the
refumptlon of the dlreCtion of my affairs. The wound* inflided
by the war are deep—fevert: years may be need-Iry to heal them,
and to obliterate the impreffions Inflicted by tie fafferings of this
unfortunate period. The adminiftration of the State has greater
and duties more difficult than ever to fulfil; and they will fulfil
them—but they have at the fame arm itronger claims than ever
upon the co-operation of all claire/Jot the laudablepurpofe of ref.
toeing the vigour of the interior, by di/Geminating the true culture
of the mind, and animating the national (rider (try In all its branches
through the reftoration and Inereafe of the national credit ; and
by there means to eftablllh the monarchy upon that balls wbkh
the variable fate of the States of Europe has rendered neceffary,-.
Every moment of my life will be direeted to this (rile& and de-
voted to the improvement of the welfare of the noble and good
people who are deac to me as the children of my affeetion.
United by the Mutual obligations of reciprocal confidence, and
the cordial bLire Om? fubjeCts, I shall only believe I have done
enough for laMikria, as a Prince and a Father, when its pro/perky
is again fecaretbwerhen the fufferings of the Citizens are forgotten,
and nothing remains alive hut the remembrance et my (sedates,
your fidelity, and your cashed and unfkakcn patriotifin.
Vienna, Feb. 1, 1806. " FRANCIS."
HaatllUaGft, Pia. i 8 —The new order of things
in onr neighbourhood is now nearly regulated. The
Pruffian army has occupied a great part of the Elec-
torate of Hanover. The Governor for Pru Ola,
Count Schulenberg, has arrived, and the Hanoverian
Mitliftry is expelled to be forpended. The Englifit
troops are all gone ; the Swedes and Ruffians have
nearly all paffed the Elbe into Lauenburg, and con-
tinue their retreat without interruption to Pomerania.
Yet we are Rill not without apprehenfions that this
peaceable Rate of things will not 'al, unlefa England
lbould make peace. The intention of keeping a large
French army on this fide the Rhine, which now teems
certain ' • the pofition of the French troops and the
halt of Bernadotte in Eichlladt, appear calculated to
draw a kind of line of circumvallation round Pruf-
fia. To.thia is to be added, the report that continues
to be confirmed from Holland, that many of the
French troops that left that country have orders to
return to it. On the other hand, the large force kept
on the war ellabliament by Pruffia ; the evidently
intimate connedion between the Courts of Berlin and
Sr. Peterfburgh, the miffion, or journey of the Duke
of Brunfwick. the large Ruffian force collecting on
the Pruffian frontiers—all makes it conjeftured that
there are weighty points unadjufled between Pruffia
and France, which render a war between thofe two
Powers a thing by no means improbable.

rRLIA.ifENTifRr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, FEB. 24.
In the Appeal, "The Coioteik Dowager of Lincoln againft
the Duke of Newcaftle," the Solicitor General was heard in
reply ; after which judgment was deferred till to-morrow fe'n•
night.
Lord HAWKE took the oaths and hls feats on fueceeding to
the title by the death of his father,

TNE SW. OF ST. VINCENT.
Lord GRENVILLE prtfented a Meffage from his MaJelly,
purporting, that by the Aft of Parliament fur granting an A esuity
to the Earl of St. Vincent, that Annuity was limited to the two
mat heirs male of his body, and defirlog the Hnufc to-take the
further extenfion of the fame into their coofideration.
The Mange having been read—
Lord HAVIKESBURY aired (scrolls the table) If any motion
was Intended ?
Lord GRENVILLE anfwered is the affirmative, and obferved,
that In granting the Annuity to Lord St. Vincent, it bad been
originally intended, as was ufual in Smiler cafes, to extend the grant
to the two next fueceffors to the tide. It appearesLhowever, that
by the wafting words of the Aft, the Annuity was limited to the
two next heirs male of the body of [seed St. Vincent. The pre-
feat Meffage, therefore, had oot for Its °hied to confer any addi-
tional mark of royal favour oo Lord St. Vincent ; but merely to
carry into erred what was undoubtedly the original intent of the
Aft to which he alluded. A Bill to this died would, in
due time, name before the Houle, when their Lordthips
would have an opportunity of confidering the fubjeft. He con-
cluded. by movies', in the taloa' form, an Added' to his Majefty,
In anfwor to Me Majeity's molt gracious Menge, which was

The Marquis of ABERCORN obferved, that he had ex-
peered in the Salt day of the Sefßon, his mdinefs to go Into
the (object, whenever it was convenient w their Lordildps.
..He unties-1100J, that the Lent Anises in Ireland commenced

riod might be fixed for the attendance of Witneffes. tie there-'
fore moved, that a number of Witneffes, a Lift of whom he
held in los hand, %cold attend at the Bar of the Houle oo the
slab of April.
Lord GRENVILLE fuggefted to the Noble Marquis, whether
It might not be advifable to portpone this motion for the prefent,
in order that Noble Lords might have an opportunity of turning
the fubleft in their minds, led eonfidering whether or not it might
be clipcdiert to continue the proceedings which had been inftitu-
ted telativeto Mr. Jultice Fox.
The Marquis of ABERCORN acqoi. feed in the pcdpunctntnt,
and the motion was del reed to this day lennight.
LORD lILLENBUROUGII.

The EARL of BRISTOL afked Lord Gren-
ville whether it was true that the Lord Chief Jul-
tics of the King's Bench was one of his blajetty's
Cabinet Ministers
Lord GRENVILLE Paid, it was Lis wifh to give
every information to any Noble Lord who wifhedfor
it; he was only afraid, that any doubt which might
be fuppofed to exifl in his manner of expreffing him.
fell up in the fubjea to which the Noble Earl had
alluded, might be conlirued into an unwillingnefs to
give the information which the Noble Earl had re-
quelled. It was well known, however, that upon
this fubjeet he mull confine himfelf to constitutional
and parliamentary language, although that language
might not ezaOly meet the quellion propofed by the
Noble Earl. He believed, that ever fince the ella-
blithment of the race of Chief italice of the Court
of King's Bench, or at leafl eves fine a Privy Coun-
cil had sided in ;his country, that officer bad been
a Member of the Privy Cobncil, and of firth be was
one of the conftitutional advifers of his blajefly, whole
duty it was to give advice to bis Majefty on every

fubjett of impttance„ Not only this. but a Member
of the Privy Council was not merely ref-pont-011e for
the advice he gave, but foe omitting to give advice
to his Majelly, on any fobjeft wilich might be flip.
poled to require it! Thus circumaanced, the prefent
Lord Chief Juaice of the Court cf King's Bench had
been fummoned to attend Commi•tees of the Privy
Council, upon important bufinefs. Thi. was the only
conaitutional and .parliantentary way in which he
could anfwer the Noble Earl. For the meafure of
futnnaoning Lord Ellenborough to Inch Committee of
Privy Council, be cunfidered hitufelf refponfible, as
he had been one of thofe who had advifed his Majelly
to call in the aid of the talents of that Noble and
Learned Lord, who, he trolled, would long conti-
nue to of ain his Majefty's Councils. In advifing
fuch a meafure, he confidered himfelf as doing his
duty towards his Sovereign, %haft, at the fame time,
the meafure Will was lanftioned by precedent. as in
its Cipport he could quote, he believed, the inflance
of Lord Hardwicke, and he was certain that of Lord
Mansfield. _

.....
The Eall of BRISTOL faid, as he underßood
that what had been Rated by the Noble Lord, was
fully fufficient to fatisfy his mind, that Lord Ellen-
borough was one of his Majefly's confidential Mini.
tiers. Confidering fuch a tneafure in its general ten-
dency, as fubverfive of the liberty of the fubjea, and
incompatible with the adminiflration of public lof-
tier, he flould, on Monday neat, make a motion on
' the fubjeft. He then moved, that the Lords be
fummoned on Monday next, which was ordered.
