Tor criminal profscution while the friends OF
the oppoite party were for Impeachment and a
fpsehy punifhment. The friends of Lord Sid
mouth complain the ieverity with which Lord
st. Vincent has been cenfured ince he was frG
Lord of the Admiralty, only becaufe he reform
ed many abufes, and prevented much waite cot
nved az by the officers in all the king yards at
Plymouth, PortfInouth, Sc. and worked a com

had, ard that iince bis time the Naval depart

'riends of nIr. Pitt contend tina. the affairs o.!
the Country have tsen in A retrogade tituaton
ever iince the peace of Amiens in 1901; & that
that weak and blaineable treaty laid the foun-

his administration. The debates of laft night,

{" Be thefc things terminated as they may,
am warranted i'll 4 !uppoiition 10y what have
read lately, taken from the French and German
papers, that Bonaparte, feeling he has mounted
the ladder of his ambition TO the topraoft mound
at Milan, perceives that his dienites will be beft
tecured and maintained by finding out fome
means whereby general peace may he brought
about and what is there, after what we have
feen, fuch genius cannot accomplish. This
object however will depend good deal upon
what fuccefs the Engliib ninifry. will meet
with IN their prefent conferences with the pow
! crs already mentioned. BonaDarte's hints al
ready, through the organs of his n1iniNers and
writers at Paris, there are two WAYS in which 4
general peace may be effected, either by main
tanning the treaty of Amens, or by admitting
the rights and privileges of certain po,.ers NOT
provided for or mentioned in that treaty.---T'h;s
exPrehion, though it does rot open The door 10
peace, isputting hand on the latrh.'
