The Motion which Colonel PAT ram intended to
make in the Houfe of Commons this day, our
Readers will fee, has been put off for a week, in
confequence of 'the Minifter having declared that
he could not fix on any fpccificperiodfor commun.*.
eating to Parliament the refult of the Negociation.
We have always infifled that the Minifter could
not tell what the iffue would be. Indeed it would
be to fuppofe him endued with prefcience. We
urderftand that Colonel Parran was requefted by
feveral Independent Country Members, not to em.
barrafs the Executive Government by any Parlia-
mentary interference pending the Negoeiation.
Lalt night two Mails arrived from Holland. Br
thisconve yance accounts have been received of an un-
expated Infurreftion having broken out in Arabia,
where a man of the name of ABDUL Mecums has
collated a great number of Partizans,and threatens
the overthrow of the prefent ReligiousConftitation
of Arabia and Turkey. His followers are excited
to maffacte indifcriminately all thole who acknow.
ledge the GRAND SatcNtoe as Sovereign Caliph,
and he has declared that he will immediately ad.
vane to take polfeilion of the cities of Mecca and
Medina. The Partizans of the prefent eftablifh.
meat were in confequence flying on all fides, and
the Army of this blond-thirfty Leader was advan.
cing with hally Brides towards Mecca.
A report has reached Vienna that an alarming
Infur ration had broken out in Conftantinople, and
that that city was in the greatell confufion.
Private Letters from Holland mention, that the
late ftormy weather has done fo much damage to
the Dutch Fleet at Helvoetftoys, that even if it
was willed to fend off the expedition to Louifiana,
it would not be prafticable for a month at leaft to
come.

By the Dutch Papers we alfo learn that there is
a greater bufile in the Naval Department of that
country than has been before obfervable for tome
time. Admital Haaruma bee been ordered to
fail for the Mediterranean to relieve Admiral Ds

WINTER, and this is faid to be in confeqmweed
difpatches received from the Batavia° Ambara-
dor at London. It is plain to us, however, that
this movement is conneited with certain prawn
eerted meafttres in whirl France probably takes
the lead ; for we find by a letter, received b., the
left Lifbon Mail, that Ds Wurraa's (gumtree had
already been ordered to fee. We here prefent the
letter alluded to:—

LISBON, APRIL 7.—," The Dutch (quadrat,
commanded by Admiral Da WIMTSR, confilling
of three !hips of the line and lone frigates, has been
fuddenly and unexpeetedly ordered to tea by to
(loop of war from Holland. They are laid to Oa
returning to Holland.
The French here tell us pofitively that them
will be no war. The Fuss. Comsat., they fay,
will make conceflions, by giving up places, which
be can retake at pleafure ; the Englilh will give
up what they can never retake. They add, that.
a certain Journal in London reprefents the Englilh
nation as fo decidedly loft to all fen& of national
intereft and dignity, as to fupport the Miniery in
abandoning their moll important conqueßs, to ob.
taro a temporary peace, which will enable Bora-
Parrs to commence hofblities with a certainty of
fuccefs in two or three years. We hope better
things : we remember that the vigour of bOniary,
in Seising Madeira and threatening Brun, laved
' this country from fubjugation."
By comparing the above letter with the accounts
by the Dutch Mail, it is plain that this Movement
is a part of a fyflem adopted fine, the prefent
mif-
underftanding between this country and France.—
A little time will throw more light upon this bu-
finefs.

The Dutch Papers alto contain letters from I&
lan, Rating, that in confequence of an order from
the Firth Conful and Prefident Bomarmurs, fevers'
perfons who filled diainguithed offices in the Italian
Republic have been smiled. The real motives
of this order are not known—but the intelligence.
it is Laid, is certain.

This day we received another day's French
Journals, viz. thofe of the aid infant. The
Afar:deur contains tome details of rather a curious
nature, and which thew in a ftriking point of view
the foundaties which Bo AAAAA ra prefers for the
fecurity of his power.
In the fitting of the Leginative Body of the sift

'f ibunate, concluded lsis fpeech on the fubjea in
the following manner :
If, at any future period, neighbours jealous of
our glory, Ihould again attempt to cover the earth
with mourning, and to try the fate of battle, what
energetic refinance would be oppofed to their in-
cation by thefe veteran foldiers, refuming the vi-
gour of youth, by the remembrance of their vic-
tories, and combating for their tenon! Second.
ed by their Cons, educated amidft arms ; by the
fathers and brothers of their fpoufes, fo much in-
terefted in their fuccefs ; by the whole people, be-
come one and the fame family—they would form
an impregnable rampart which no power would
dare to pars. The National will and viEtory have
irrevocably fixed the boundaries of the French
Empire, where Nature had placed them. You
render them indeftruftable, by entrufling them to
the defence of there refpeelable warriors, and by
placing them under the fafeguard of the people,
to whore attachment you have acquired Co many
new titles."

From all that can be colleCted from fuch cir
munflances as have been allowed to tranfpire, the
cicalas of Peace or War remains as undecided as

to confider it a mere private converfation, or
Should tranfmit it to his Court ? To which the

this interview was immediately followed by orders
difpatched to the feversl ports of France. to expe-

The following Laconic Epiltle was lately writ-
ten by a Schoolmafter in anlwer to a Challenge:—
" Sir, If you will to meet me on the Greek Duel

Yellerday morning, about eight o'clock, Cor-
poral Lynn, of the fecood battalion of the Artil-
lery, was (lot at Woolwich Warren, for having
deferted from three fevers] regiments : the pro.
ceffion from the prifnn was as follows:—Fira,
drums and fifes; fecund. prifoner; then fix ma'
vines; and tartly, the band. The prifoner Obeyed
not the Ina fign of difinay or contrition, and even
the moment before his execution he fmiled, and
laid, without the leaft concern, it was the happieft
day of his life. He fat down on the coffin, and
the marines appointed for the purpofe fired and
killed him infirmity.
On Sunday afternoon one of the herr ie a (bowers
of hail almoft ever remembered, fell in the neigh-
bourhood of Windfot, particularly about Coln-
brook and Percy Lodge; the force of the hail-
Gongs was fuch as to pierce the leaves of the cab-
bages and other plants, as though they had been
eat at: the ground was completely covered, nearly
to the depth of a perfon's (hoes ; it was accompa-
nied by tremenduous thunder and lightning. The
gardener's glares and frames have fuffeted very
much, and great pan of the wall and other fruits
are, it is feared, deftroyed.
