LONDON, June Awe received last nip hit |
Paris papers including the Moniteur to the
S1st May. The Emperors of France and
Austria remained at Dresden on the Esd,
on which day they were joined by the king
of Prussia. A week had thus elapsed sine e
Bonaparte's arrival in that city. In the
mean time, the French troops were advan.
cling towards the Polish frontier, and all
the superior French officers in Berlin had
left that capital for their respective desti-
nations. The Vicery of Italy had left
Glogaw for Warsaw, we presume, to be
there in readiness to receive Bonaparte,
upon his arrival at that place.
Marquis Wellesley Yesterday Commune
Gated to the house of Lords, that having
failed in forming Cabinet on, the Scondi-
tions prescribed to him, he had resigned his
authority into the hands of the Prince Re-
gent. His Lordship stated that in the course
OF his negotiation he had experienced
"dreadful persona! animosties." but did not
aiuds to any particular persons The ex-
pressions, however, did not pass unnoticed
by Lords Grenville, Grey, and liverpool,
who severally disciaimed all personalities,
or any other motive for their conduct than
public principles. Indeed, 1t was almost
superhuous to notice any such causes for
the failure of the negotiation. The plan
proposed, the noble Marquis was we'll a,
ware, was not admissible. What real pow
er or influence could the possession of four
seats. give to the opposition in a cabinet con-
sist;ng of thirteen members They could
neither carry any measure for the country,
nor control any measure, however impru-
dent and destructive. AT present they have
the melancholy privilege of publicly ar
raigning the conduct of weak and incapable
men, but seated on their four stools in the
cabinet, even this privilege they would
cease to enjoy. They would have not only
10 mourn in silence the folly oftheir associ-
ates, hut, also to share in the disgrace of ha-
wing originated it. Lords Grenvlle and
Grey must, therefore, have rejected the
proposition upon principles which tie pub
lie must approve.
Marquis Wellesley having failed in the
attempt.to make Cabinet, the earl of Moi
ia, ave understand, yesterday received the
authority of the prince regent to undertake
the task to which the Marquis has proved
unequal This is the very first step which
the PUBLIC expected would have taken
place on the expiration of the regency
Restrictions; but under how very different
auspices, and with how very different hopes,
we'will not now enquire. With all honora-
BILE influence and powers of Cancellation, it
rs not presumed that his Lordshp will be
able to make any desirable progress before
Monday, and it will not surprise us if even
then we have another failure TO record. 1t
IS melancholy to reflect, that the Interests of
the country should be so compromitted.-
What will america, what will France,
what will Russia feel and think on learn
ing the state of the government of England
at this most interesting and important cri-
Sis VIII this state of weakness and an
archy inspire Alexander with confidence to
resist the extravagdnt demands Of Bona
parte, and Can it encourage the Spaniard to
seize the glorious golden opportunity to
sweep the French iocusts from his plains,
when their kindred swarms are at too
great a distance 10 afford assistancef The
state of England is an ailv, an army, and
treasury, at the present moment to her
enemies.
Lon DON, June 8.-By vessel from the
opposite scoast, Paris journals and letters
were on Sunday received TO the date of the
Sd instant; they supply US with a new
Decree, under which the British licences,
for the export of commodities to the value
of 81. per ton on the admeasurement of the
ship, to authorize the return with French
wines and brandies, are rendered invalid &
nugatory. 1t is therein enacted, that all
vessels arriving in French port from the
harbours of Great Britain provided with
such licences, and laden according to the
conditions required in them, shall be imme-
diately sequestered, and, on being subject to
legal process in the Courts of Admiralty,
shall be condemned.
4 French gentleman has arrived, who
lately visited the Frontiers of Poland. He
has brought with him public manifesto
signed by the native authorities, in which
they enter largely into the agg:essions of
Russia, since the partition of their country by
that power. They declare their determi-
nation to restore their independence, and to
re-estabiish their monarchy; and suppor-
ted by 100000 of their brave champions in
arms, they threaten TO drive the invaders
within tlftir own boundaries. No doubt is
entertained, that this INSTRUMENT is dictated
by the adherents of the French Court, and
is intended to assist in accomplishing the
ambitious projects of the French Rnler.
