Frederick Shuttleworth, purfuant to the order of yeiterday,

The S then addreTed him as follows:
o' Frederick Shuttleworth, a Seidl Committee of
the Houle of Commons, appointed to try the me-
rits of the EleCtion for the town and county of
Nottingham, have reported, that you have given
contradielory evidence, and have been guilty of
grofs prevarication and mifbehaviour. Offences
of the nature of which you have been charged tend
to defiroy the molt facred tell of truth, to defeat
the ends of public juftice, and to root up the foun-
dations of civil fociety. While you have been vainly
endeavouring to prevent the difclofure of thofe
difgraceful (Cenci of riot which took place at Not-
tingham during the EleEtion, your condo& has
been wholly incompatible with what might have
been expeEted from your education, your habits,
and your fituation in life, which Ihould have dif-
poled you to exhibit a very different example to
your fellow fubjefts. The lenity of the Hot* of
Commons has (pared you the difgrace and infamy
of a common gaol ; but, in the compunftions of a
mind informed as yours muft be, you mull find
the fevereft punifhment for your offence. You
now go forth before your friends and the public
branded with a ftigma, which nothing can efface
but a rigid and continued repentance, and a aria
regard to the civil and political rights of your fel-
low fubjeas. You have now been called to the
Bar of the Houle to be difcharged, and you are ac-
cordingly difcharged on the payment of your fees."

We have received letters from Gibraltar to the
21ft ult. inclufive. The following arc the only par-
ticulars they bring :
_

On the 19th of February the Englifh brig Nits
arrived there from Leghorn in 19 days. At the
time (he failed from Leghorn, a French frigate was
embarking 300 troops for St. Domingo, and a
report was current, and generally credited, that
the King of Etruria was dangeroufly ill.
The Englifh (hip Latona, Islauta mailer, ar-
rived on the aoth, in 19 days from Deptford, with
provifions for the Garrifon.—Paffangers : Baron
BAUMAN, Captain in De Rolle's Regiment, and
Mr. Roam, affiflant Surgeon of the fame.

This day a very unufual bugle prevailed at they
Stock Exchange. The Stoppage of an individual
%
who has large tranfthions was announced in the
morning, and it was thought a number of others
mull be defaulters in confequence. The amount
of the deficiency appears almoß incredible. Re-
ports Rates it at nearly two millions of money. It
is thought, however, by many, that the individual
alluded to, will be able to arrange matters in a
few days. At one o'clock 3 per cents were at 6.1.4
for money, and 65: for account.
The Stocks kept rather improving in price yet
terday afternoon, a convincing proof that the dif.
patches from Paris were confidered favourable to
the hopes of Peace : indeed the high price of the
French funds could sot fail to produce a fimilar
impreffion.

It is fingular, however, that the private letters
from PM is, of which a number were yeflerday re-
ceived, generally agree in dating the conduct of
the Flare Cossur. on Sunday lad, at Madame
BONAPARTE'S Drawing Room. as indicating ob.
flinacy rather than a conciliating difpnfition. A
morning paper gives the fubßance of fome of thefe
letters in the following words .—" At the Draw.
ing Room the FIRST CONSUL appeared in a hate
of evident iiri:abl:ty. When he approached the

Englifh Ambaffador, he obterved with warmth,
that a War had now defolated Europe for ten
years, and :liked whether it was now to be renew-
ed ?• adding, that if it was, it might again laR for
as long a period ? To which Lord Wurrwoarm
calmly replied, that if it was renewed, it would
not be the fault of Great Britain. Bosares re
then went amongfl the Ladies, but Coon after re.
turned to Lord WistrWmerit, and vehemently de-
clared, that the armaments now preparing in the
ports of France were deltincd only for the colonies,
in the prefervation of which England %vas as much
interefted as he could be. To this no anfwer was
made. He loon afterwards quitted the room, call-
ing on GOD and Mar. to witnefs, that he hoped
vengeance would be infliard on that Power, which,
by a violation of Treaty, Ihould caufe the renewal
of hoßilities ? His countenance was throughout
almoß disfigured by pair on : and his tone was fo
loud and vebement, that at leaft half the company
prefent mull have heard all that paired on this ex-
traordinary occallon."

For the amuftryLnt of our Readers, we alto in-
fert the following :

PRIVATE LETTER-PARIS, MARCH 14.

There was yeflerday, as ufual, a grand circle
at the Thuilleries. The Ambaffadors of the diffe-
rent Powers were in the Saloonovith a numerous
affemblage of ftrangets and Ladies of diftinetion,
Generals, Senators, Tribunes, Legillators, &c.

BoNAPAars entered, with an unufual alertncfs
of manner, and, ' after flaming the company, he
aldrefred himfelf to Lord WHITWORTH, in a tone
fufficiently loud to be heard by all who were pre.
fent—" You know, my Lord, that a terriblellotm
has arifen between England and France."
Lord WHITWORTH Yes,Ceneral Conful, but
it is to be hoped that this Roust will be diffipated
without any ferioua confequences."

Botravaara—s, It will be dirEpated, when Eng.
land (hall have evacuated Malta. If not, the cloud
will burl, and the bolt mull fall. The King of
England has promifed by Treaty to evacuate that
place, and who is to violate the faith of Treaties ?"
Lord WHtTWORTH (farprifid on Mg leintlq
quefiioned in tbie manner, and Sefors fa ;many Perfou)—
" But you know, General Conful, the circum-
fiances which have hitherto delayed the evacuation
of Maki'. The intention of my Sovereign is to ful-
fil the Treaty of Amiens; and you alto know .4"1"
BON AP ART I— " You know (with imeitietievfo) that
the French have carried on the war fur ten years,
and ran cannot doubt but that they are in a coo.
dition to wage it again. Inform your Court, that
if, on the receipt of your difpatches, orders are not
iffited for the immediate furrender of Malta, then
War it declared. I declare my firm refolution is to
fee the Treaty carried into effea, and leave it to
the Ambalradors of the feveral Powers, who are
prefent, to fay who is in the wrong. You flattered
yonrfelves that France would not dare to (limiter
refentment what' her fquadrons were at St. Do.
mingo. I amtappy thus publicly to undeceive
11 you on that head." .

Lord WHirwozr H-..." But, General, the Nego-
tiation is not yet broken, and there is even reafon
to believe —"

Boa& AAAAA Of what Negotiation does your
Lordthip (peak ? Is it neceffary to negociate what
is conceded by treaty—to negotiate the fulfilment
of engagements and die duties of good faith.—
(Lord W. war about to reply, Bor•raaTS mar
figo with hit hand, and continued in a left ekvatel tow.)
My Lord, your Lady is indifpofed. She may pro-
bably breathe her native air rather fooner than you
or I expeEled. I with moil ardently for Peace,
but if my jult demand be not. intlantly complied
with, then War mull follow, and Goo will decide.
If treaties are not fufficient to bind to Peace, then
the vanquiffied mutt not be Left in a condition to
offer injury."

Here this unexpeOed converfaion terminated, :f
that tern be allowed, where the difcourfe was at-
moil wholly on one tide.

BON•►IETE afterwards walked up and down
the hall, and dalcourfed with feveral perfons with
an affumed air of gaiety. To the Englifts, how,
ever, wlia met his eye, his regards were limited
to a cold Gime.

This fcene is In important in its nature and con-
ff.qttences, and at the fame time fo new in Diplo-
matic Hiftory, that I have taken much pains to
get at its details. The auditors were numerous
and attentive, but fome difficulty arofe from the
rptickners of the (allies, as the reply did not al-
ways very gracioutly await the anfwer. Some
trait: of extreme vivacity on the part of the Frasr
CON sV L, Ido not choofc to hazard. In other re-
fpeEts the text, I believe, is faithful, and I leave it
to you to make the comment.

Though we have inferted the above we need
hardly obferve, that thule whole property may bo
affeeted by. the Utile of the prefer,t mifunderftand-
ing, fhould be cautious how they give implicit
credit to every letter from Paris. Some people
there have an intereft in the (late of our Funds,
and the flaternents they fend over may fometisnes be
tiulured according to the bias of the individual.
