The converfatinn in both Houfes of •Parliament
yelterday, though thort, was interefling. Minifiers
hated, that tinexpeeed circumftances occurred to
prevent their making-that communication they had
Announced. The particulars of courfe they forbore
to difclofe. Mr. ADDINGTON, however, in the
moll explicit manner limed, that he entertained no
doubt " that the points in difcufflon between the
two Governments would he brought to a decilive
refult in the courfe of this day, or Wednefday
morning," and, continued he, " 1 am juftitied,
therefore, in entertaining a perfect convidion that
I (hall be able to make a communication to the
Honfe in the courfe of a few days." Nothing far.
th er patted on the fubjee. Lord Pettiest, in the
Houle of Lords, went farther, and gave little hope
that the communication he announced would be
different from that which was to be given at the
time when Lord Wmtrwoar“ was every moment
expened.

•
It is pretty generally underilood, that Nrnifler,
have not dcparted from their ultimatum to Mien
to the new propnfal of the CHIEF CONSUL; and
from what Lord PELHAM laid, it is plain that
Miniflers are not fanguine in their hopes that the
French Government will modify the propofal it
has made.

It is laid that Minifters are mneh diffatisged
with Lord WIIITWORTII'S ftay, after the period
that had been fixed on for his departure, flionld
the French Government not previonfly agree to
the ultimatum he had prefented y and the general
belief is, that they have inftrulted him not to litlen
to any thing (hint of an acquiefcence in the terms.
and have named a new day for his departure,
fhonid they not be accepted.
The report in the diplomatic circles is, that Mi-
nifters themfelves confider a war as inevitable
and, indeed, the encreafed aCtivity viable in every
department lance the receipt of the new French
preo Teems to (peak the fame language. A few
days will, probably, put an end to the prefent
uncertainty, for it is hardly potlible that Minifters
will allow any thing to induce them to withhold,
beyond a very fhort period, the promifed commu-
nication.

Lord Hawnesloar and Mr. ADDINGTON had
a bog conference with the Commander M Chief.
his Royal Highnefs the Dual of Yoaa. at the
Horfe Guards, yetlerday morning. A Cabinet
Council all It for a considerable part of the day.
Orders have been given to the Admiralty to
grant no proteaions whatever—filch is the urgency
with which the (hips ordered to be commiffioned
are wanted for the fcrvire.

Sir SIDNIT SMITH, who arrived in town Teter-

Lord Nst.soa had a long audience with the
Admiralty Board this morning, where every thing
is altivity and hurtle.

The States of Germany are beginning to follow

the final fettlement of the Indemnities. After

Pails, MAY s.—According to the news of yell
rerday morning, no doubt was entertained that the
Englifh A mhaffador was ready to depart, and the
reports of a ritptute between France and England
feem to be confirmed. The departure of Vora
Wm mecum! is deferred. This morning he Lad
an important conference with the !klinifter of Fn-
rcign Aff Ors ; and after th:s conference, a !def•
f.criges was slfparch-d to 1., rdon.
_ .

it wat 1.41.1 mum:tig, that the LefiCat;er

Body and the Tribnnate were to receive from b,o-
vernment an official communication in regard to,
the affairs of England. Thefe two bodies, however,
broke up without receiving any communication.
Lord WHITWORTH had announced his departure
as fixed for yefterday at five o'clock in the morn
ing. This Ambaffador has changed his refolution,
and it is not Paid whether this delay will have a
Speedy termination. Whatever be the carafe of this
new incident, it is impoffible not to conceive from it
tome hopes for the prefervation of peace.—Clef du
Cabinet.

Notwithilancling the obfcurity of the political
Irifon, preparations are continued for the journey
of the Cum CONSUL to Belgium.

Letters from Laufanne (late, that the arrival of
General Rate in Switzerland has given rife to a
multitude of conjeflures. It, however, appears cer-
tain that this officer, in palling through Fribourg,
delivered a letter'fiom Bo AAAAA T 1 to the Landam-
man, which mull have been of great importance, as
in confequence of it, M. M•CR•uoor, junior, and
Azavaz FIMILY, were difpatched to Paris with
a million from the Landamman to the Cuts, Com-
m.: They fet out on the :6th of Apt il.
They talk here of the fpeedy departure of all
the French troops (lationed in Swifferland. The
major part of theft corps will proceed, it is laid, to
Italy : the remainder will return to the depart-
ments of the ci-devant Alface and FrancheComte.
Mar 6.—General ?doers sit, Commandant of,
the fitll military divition, fet cut a few days ago
for Bruffels, which gives realon to fuppofe that the
journey of the CN tip CONSUL will loon take place.

WC are allured that Lord %V air wozr
day morning received from his Court difpatchec,
to which it appears great importance was attached.
For four or five days pall the departure, or the
fpeedy departure of this Ambailador has been an-
nounced ; but according to every appearance there
hill remain feveral favourable chances to the main-
tenance of peace. At four o'clock yefterday Lord
Warr worra had a confts:nce with the Minifter
of Foreign Affairs.
. The political horizon has cleared up a good deal
fince yefterday : it is now certain that the Englilh
Ambaffador will not depart till the arrival of a
Meffenger, whom his Excellency cape& with
Difpatches from his Court. —Clyla Cabinet.

Ba it sr, MAY CAVVAIIILLI, the Ma.
ritime Prefect, arrived here the day before yefter
day. His entrance was announced by a ififeharge
of artillery. From his return and from other cir.
cumftances, Come feem to think that war is proba
ble. Here, however, there is now more appear-
ance of peace than ever.
BAUSSILS, MAT 4.—The number of French
troops no* in the pay of the Batavian Republic
eonfifts of twenty battalions of infantry, two regi-
ments of dragoons, a regiment of hultirs, and
tome companies of foot and horfe artillery. They
are all Rationed in Zealand, near Nimeguen, and
in different ftrnng places fituated between the
Scheldt, the Meufe, and the Rhine—one battalion
cf infantry, with a corps of artillery, are beyond
that river at Gorinchem. It is however apparent
that if a formal rupture takes place with England,
thefe troops will advance farther into the Batavian
territory, and that their number will be increafed.
In regard to thole deftined for LouiGana, the ge-
neral opinion in Holland is, that, in cafe of a war,
they will be employed for an expedition of another
nature.
