HISMAJ HITT'S intentions,declared in his meffage
to Parliament, are every day carrying into effed,
with a promptitude highly creditable to thofe en-
fruited with the admintftration of his affairs. Be-
fades the great naval equipments which have been
ordered in all the ports, the conflitutional force of
the country is immediately to be embodied.—
Another Meffage from the KING was yeaerday
prefented to Parliament, informing them, that his
Majarry had rcfolved to call out a certain portion
of his Militia Forces, of which determination both
Mottles unanimoufly approved, and every other
exertion is making to Phew the Government of
France, that, however anxious we may be for
the continuance of Peace, we difdain the notion
of preferv:ng it at the high price of our national
dignity and charader.
Since his MAJ tyres Meffage was communicat-
ed to Parliament, Expreffes have followed each
other, in quick fucceffion, from the French Am-
baffador to his Government. Three Couriers were
dilpatched by him in the mirk of twenty-four
110111 s.

On Wednefdav evening, as loon as the bufinefs
of the Hook of Commons svaj over, Mr. Cosvot-
stEs.one of the Foreign Meffengersoias difpatehed
with the left& of the debate, and fume important
diipatchest to bud WHITWORTH. at Paris. A
Courier, charged with fimilar information, was
alto ditPatched to his Court by General ANDRE.
o.si. The two Couriers will probably erofs the
Channel together.
N'eflerday, at two o'clock, General ANDLEOSSI,
and the Batavian and Spanith Ambaffadors, waited
on the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, at
the Office in Downing-nicer, where they had a
long interview with Lord HAtvsy and Mr. HAM-
MONO, the two Under Secretaries.

The three Minitters went to Downing•Qreet in
their rcipeaire carriages, hut met at the Secretary
of State's Oake, by accident, no doubt.

The Militia liflablifhment of Ireland will be
enlarged fo as to place a confiderable addition of
caftive force at the difpofition of Government.
Notice was yellerday evening given in the Houfe
of Commons of the Minider's intention to move
for leave to bring in a Bill to that effeft.
Government, we underhand, relies upon en-
ere:ding our naval force with to,ooo feamen,
either volunteers or imprefred men, in lcfs than a
fortnight, in confequence of the exertions which
arc making in ;dl the principal prat'. •
In I,ts than a fortnight a fleet of 20 fail of the
I.r.z w1:1 r•a to fea ; a dttid.ty of energy that in
an prchal,t;ity sid convince the Frecch Govern-

ment tr the folly of entering into a maritime war
with this country. The mcfs for feamen continues
to be very bilk, not only upon the River, but in
all parts of London.
Lord GARDNER, Sir SIDNEY SMITH, Sir JAMES
SAUM ARE z, and Sir EDWARD PEL LEW, wereamong

val Officers of different ranks, from that of Poft
Captains to Warrant Officers.
Lord Sr. VINCENT, with that attention to the
comfort and happinefs of our gallant Tars, which
has always difiinguifhed him, has given direflions
that the orders for paying off (hips or veffeis in any
of the portsfhall be executed, and that the men In
paid off, (hall have a prote6lion to fccure dam
from being preffizd for the fpace of fifteen days, to
enable them to vi fit their refpcOive relations.

at Lord HAWKESBURY'S Office this morning, with
difpatches from Lord WHITWORTFI.
A French Meffenger alfo arrived at General
ANDEEOSSI'S houfe, with difpatches from his Go-
vernment.

We have received Paris journals to the ;thing.
inclufive. The only article in the Mcniteur worth
tranfcribing is the following Ilion notice of ad•

JURIEN, Captain di frigate, who commands la Fran-

rack of Captain de fregc‘.
There Officers had given proofs of intelligence,
talents, and bravery, in an affair which took place
at Leogane, where they fupported the land forces
in a very able manner, and contributed to the de-
• Rrudion of a confiderable number of brigands,
who infelled that important poR on all fides.
a The fituation of the colony had been fenGbly
improved."
The unofficial Journals prefent _only the fol-
lowing :

R•TISBON, FEB. 23.—The new projea of rem
drawn up by the direaorial Minifter of Mentz,
after being communicated to M. LAFOR ET and M.
de Du HLIR, has been tranfmitted officially by M.
de Hucsx, the Imperial Plenipotentiary to the
Germanic Diet, and been deliiered to the Diaa.
turate. It was expeaed that it would have been
immediately difcuffed, as its ratification by his
Imperial Majefly and the Diet could experience no
farther difficulties ; but it refults from the decla-
rationsoffeveral Minifters accredited with the Diet,

that as they had not received inftritaions in regard
to that important objeel, they could not yet vote:
feline time therefore will elapfe before the 1.9/2ChfiiM
is traniformcd into a fundamental law of tLe Eta•

Circ. 0.. the other hand, the Miniftetis of Pruffia and
Bavaria demand, that it (hall not be definitively
decreed, until the Compenfation •laimed by the
Eleeloriof Bavaria, for the lofs of the Bifhopric of
Eichlladt, !hall be determined. We are informed
that negotiations are now carried on at Paris, in
regard to this objet, in confequence of overtures
made to the Court of Munich.
