PARIS, FES. :S•

DiffatisSed that the prefent Grand Judge and Mi I
nifter of Police did not forefee the late infuriation;
in La Vendee, and other departments, Boa AA
has deliberated to make this Minitiry • again a fepa-
rate
one from that of Juftice ; but to difguft Fovea,
from defiling to return to this office, it has been de-
prived of its infpeainn over the capital, which now
entirely belongs to the Parifian Prefea of Police; and
the Chief of, as it is called, the General Police. is now
no longer ftyled a Minifter, but a Direaor of Police;

Accufer to the, rjf Revolutionary Tribunal, and who

Within there laft fie months, BOS•PARTS has now,
for the fourth time, changed the Staffs and the Ge-
nerals of Divifinn of the different columns of the
Rimy of England, and thofe in Hanover and Hol-
land .are now fent to command at Boule; thofe
at Boulogne are ordered to the army near -Brea, and
theft ia their turn fent to Holland, Hanover, and to
the camps in Italy. There are evident proofs of the
Flare Comsat's

leave them long in any fired command, left they
may make themfelves popular and beloved by the
foldiers. This fufpicion is fo much the more fur-
prifing, as molt of there Generals owe their ptefent
rank to him, and are generally known, or fuppofed
to be his favourites.
It is Paid, that the Military &Sion of the Connell
of &ate has,ly earrs, laid before the Freer Couloir
and obtained hit approbation for dtablifhing a corps
of Body Guards, conning of too, of whom each
man is to have e rank of a Captain, and their ue-
cers that of Majors' Colonels, and Generals. They
are to be nearly on the Clint footing with the King's
former Garde de Corps, and are to do the fame duty.

the Legion of Honour. -
Not only the camp equipage of BoaaralrS has

The Earl of CARLISLE repeated the obferva•

him, and walled to know, why the Bulletin was not

Lord KING reiterated his queßion, why the re-
port was not figned by the fifth phyfician ? That pet. !
fon, on a former melancholy occalion, bad always
fubfcribed it. and he thought it very extraordinary
that this fignature timid be now omitted.
Earl FITZWILLIAM addreted hiaifelfmutko.
lady to the Lord Chancellor, and declared that it
would be use& fatisfallory to him, to obtain from his
Loetlibip, information of the Rate of his MA] s arr. If
the Monarch were not competent to the full eremite
of the Royal Authority, every Rep they were taking
at pretest. was a model violation of the coaßitution.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" My Lords, I

fent to 'give any opiates the propriety if the at

From all the inforasetion-I hero been able to obtain.
from every quarter that I bad a right to look for it,
and to demand it, I do mod lirtol believe, that the
declaration made by the Noble Seaaary of State
has been made in truth and in honour. I Rate this,
my Lords, with a moft pmfea conviction of the re-
frolibility that is placed upon me,. and of the au-
uon and duty I owe to my Sovereign, and the duty
I owe to the country."
The Earl of -CAERNARVON deprecated the
idea of confidering the pedant quenion as a qoeftion
of delicacy. When he confideted that there were
two Bills of the greateß importance to be Ibortly
fubmitted to their Lordlhips, when he confidered
the alarming fituation of the country, and the den.
gerous crifis in which we were placed, it would he

going into there quellions, and adopting, if it fhould
, be found neeeffery. all thole Notary meafures
that were requilite for the main' !:.n.:nce'i.lth: Royal
authority, for the preferred= of the prerogative
and the tranfmiffion of both, with all the rights,
1 to his hfajefty's heirs and fucceffors. Althongh he
was not prefect at the commencement of the De-
bate, he perfectly concurred with the Noble Baron
under him, in the neceffity and propriety of the
quenions he had put to Mininers. He would go a
Itep farther than the Noble Brno, and he would
ant, whether Minitlers had mark: oi his Majeßy's
daily confidence ? It was fads habitual confidence
that could alone raife them, as "inlets, above the
common level of ordinary men. In their individual
capacity. he bad no objetlion to acknowledge that
they were moll refpeßable ; but it was in the *hies
favour, and in that daily anvils that they were
prefumed to have to him, that they poffeffed thole
advantages which placed a temporary diftindion be-
tween them and other Noble Lords. He called,
therefore, oo Minifters to declare the nature of that
confidence. Did, or did they not. fee the Monarch

(coated the plea of refponfibility ; was the timothy of
the Rate iocreafed and fecund by this principle of re-
fponfibility ? It was competent to the Executive
Power tti delegate a portion of its authority to the
prefect minifter, but would any one fay that fecurity
was greater or better allured thereby
Lard GRENVILLE read, from the journals of
the Honfe, the Refolutions art December :788 ; the
fubflance of which he had given. when he firß
offered himfelf to their Lordadpei and laying his
hand on the fita of thole Refolutiaos, emphatically
demanded of the Noble Secretary of State, if he
would take upon himfelf, referring to his Malay's
recentindifpofition, and his prefect Rate. to negative
the principle of that Refolution. He would not even
require of Mioillers to go the entire length of the
principle contained in that Refolution. There was
a decent, a refpedable. and an affettionate forbear-
ance, due from that Honfe to the Royal Authority;
and he would be the left man in it to profs for the
violation of it. But he wifhed to have the Rate of the
Sovereign's health eftablifhed on more certain 'and
fatisfaltory grounds than any that had been Willed
on this evening. On a former ocean= (his Maießy's
indifpofition in 5788), the Noble-and Learned Lord.
who then prefided in that Houk declared, " that he
thought it neceffary to have a perfonal interview
with the Sovereign that for that purpofe he had
fought and obtained accefs to him • and that he
would take it on himklf to declare, tht be was com-
petent to all the duties of executive authority." On
a recent ocean= alto (is t8ot) a Noble and
Learned Lord, who then fat upon the Woolfack,
thought it neceffary to have perfonal communication
with the Monarch, previous to his bringing down
a commitfion.santed by warrant under the fign
manual. to fati hinsfelf of the Rate of the King's
mind. Had f precautions been obferved at pre-
fent ? it would afford him great confolation to learn
that they were.
The LORD CHANCELLOR..." My Lords,
having fail as much as I have already Paid this even.
ing, nothing mall compel me to Arens to far from
my dory as to make any further dedication on a fub-
Ted on which I had hoped every Noble Lord in the
Hoofs had been latisfied, and I mull confaquently
Jeciine m iking any further anf.ser to the Noble
Lord. But I think it neceffary t., advert. in as (ea,
geoids as eoltble, to tLe bilucry cf the two refoluticefs

which have been read from the journals by the
Noble Lord: thofe refolutions were entered int.
previous to the sill ring of the great teal to a te

infirument to be now tendered to me for the purpofc
of having the great feel put to it, I fhonld think it a
breach of my duty to do fir, without perfon.dly con.
tubing his blajelky.'t
The quenion was then put, that the Bill be read
a fecond time on Monday next, which was carried
in the affirmative.

Lord GRENVILLE profeffed bine& not ['edi-
fied with the *awns that had bun given to the
queftions that weresput to Minillers. and expreffed
his intention of reaming the fubjeft on Monday.
previous to the difclawa of the Bill. His Lord[Lip,
then moved.

d HAWIMBURY refilled the motion, prin.
cipally on two fpecifie grounds firll, that account*
which it would be found pafficable to produce would
by no means afford the defied information ; and fe.
eondly. that the produttion °flitch an account would

The LORD CHANCELLOR. in difctiffing the
fubjea, with a reference more Particularly to the
motion, difplayed his nfual abilities. In the courfe
of his obfervations, he remarked, that it was not the
circulation of Bank Paper that was injurious ; an
ffi exceve circulation of private paper was, in fume
points of view, of an injurious tendency; but that de.
feription of private Paper which was more do Oily in.
jerkins, was the Accommodation Notes, the praaice
of which he reprehended, efpecially as creating an
artificial capital in the Country. He doubted
greatly the praCticability of obtaining what the
matins, called for, certainly to the extent of it ; and
particularlythe required didinaions of Bank Paper.
