The further adjournment of Parliament
to the 2lst inst. was deemed necessary in
the present state of affairs on the Continent
Austria having positively refused TO MS
ten to any propositions for excluding the
present Usurper from the throne Of France,
notwithstanding all remonstrance from u.
Britain, Russia, and the other allies, IL Is
supnosed that the assent OF our Ministry
will be given though with great reluctance,
to treaty with the present government OF

those wishes. An insuperabe obstacle to
any plan which might nave lor avs ooJeos

not consent that his Sonin-Law should
cease to reign. The argument and en'rea-
