Westminster, Jan. 21. — in v « HIS day his Majesty came to the 1 1 Houfe of Peers, and being in his Royal Robes, feated on the Throne I with the usual solemnity, Sir Francis Molyneux, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was fent with a message from his Majesty to the House of Commons, commanding their attendance in the House of Peers. The Commons being come thither ac- cordingly, his Majesty was pleased to make the following most gracious speech : My Lords and Gentlemen, The circumstances under which you are now assembled require your most serious attention. We are engaged in a contest, on the issue of which depends the maintenance of our Constitu- tion, Laws, . and Religion, and tlie security of all Civil Society. You must have observed, with satisfaction, the advantages which have been obtained by the arms of the Allied Powers, and the change which has taken place in the general situation of Europe, fince the commencement of the war. The United Provinces have been protected from in- vasion. The Austrian Netherlands have been re- covered and maintained ; and places of consider- ablc importance have been acquired on the fron- tiers of France. The recapture of Mentz., and the fubfequent successes of the Allied Armies on the Rhine, have, notwithstanding the advantages recently obtained by the enemy in that quarter, caufe. of Humanity and. the duties of Religion, en- deavour to merit the continuance of the Divine Favour and proteftion, which _ have been fo eminently experienced by thefe kingdoms. L O N D O N, January 21. Saturday being the day appointed for the an- nual obfervance publicly of the Queen's nativity, was kept as an holiday with theufualfcftivity, and no bufinefs done at the Bank, Stock- Exchange, ^ proved highly bcru- ficial to the common Powerful efforts have been made by my Allies in the South of Europe, The temporary poffeflion of the town and port of Toulon has greatly dif- treffed the operations of my enemies; and in the evacuation of that . place an important and de- ciiive blow lias been given to their Naval Power, by the distinguished conducit, abilities and fpirit of my commanders, officers and forces both by sea and law}. The French have been driven from their pos- sessions and fishery at Newfoundland; and im- portant and valuable acquisitions have been made both in the east and West Indies. At sea our superiority has been undisputed, and our Commerce fo effectually protected, that the lodes fuftaincd have been inconfiderable in pro- portion to it's extent, and to the captures made on the contracted trade of the enemy. The circumstances by which the further progress of the Allies has hitherto been impeded, not only prove the neeeflity of vigour and perfcverance on cir part, but at the fame time confirm the expec- tation of ultimate fticcefs. Out enemies have de- rived the means of temporary exertion, from a fyftem which has enabled them to difpofe arbitra rily of the livsahd property of a numerous peo- ple, and which openly violates every reftraint of luftice, Humanity and Religion. But thefe ef- forts, projective " as thev liecefiarily have been of internal difcontent and cohfufion, havfc alfo tended rapidly to exhautt the national and. - eal ftrength of that country. Although I cannot but regret the necessary con tinuance of the war, I fhould ill confult the el) cn- tial interefts of my people if I were defirous of Peace, an any grounds but luch as may provide for their permanent fafety, and for the indepen dcnce and fecurity of Europe. The attainment of thefe ends is ftul obftrufted by the prevalence of a fv lem in France, equally incompatible wit't the happinefs of that country, and with the tran quillity of all other nations-. Under thisimipreSion I tluwght proper to ;, wikc a declaration ofYn- views and (.- nnuilesby' which I am guided. I have ordered a cow of this de claration to be bid before yon, together ivith c pie of feveral contentions and treaties with dif- ferent powers, by which you will perceive how large a part of Europe is united in a caufe of fucli general concern. I refteCt, with unfpcakable fatisfaCtioh, on the fteady loyalty and firm attachment torhecllnb- lifhed Conililution and Government, which, not- withftanding the continued efforts employed to mislead and to seduce, have been fo generally pre- valent among all ranks of my people. Thefe fentiments have been eminently manitefted In the zeal and alacrity of the Militia to provide for our Internal defence, and in the distinguished bravery and fpirit difplayed on every occafion by my forces, both by fea and land : they have main- tained the luftre of the Briti'h name, and have fhewn themfelvcs worthy of the bleffings which it is the objeCt of all our exertions to preserve. Gentlemen of the house of Commons, I have ordeied the necessary estimates and ac- counts to be laid before vou ; and 1 am perfuaded you will be readv to make fuch provifion as the exigencies of the time may requite. I feel too fenfibly the repeated proofs which I have received of the affection of my fubjects not to lament the neceflity of any additional burdens. It is, how- ever, a great confolation to me to obferve the fa- vourable ftate of the revenue, and complete fuc- cefsof the meafure, which was lad year adopted, for removing the embarraffments affeCting Com- mercial Credit. Great as must be the extent of our exertions, I , truft you will be enabled to provide for them in fuch a manner as to avoid any prefl'ure which could be feverely felt by my people. Mi Lords and Gentlemen, In all your deliberations you will undoubtedly bear in mind the true grounds and origin of the war. An attack was made on us, and on our Allies, founded on principles which tend to deftroy all property, to fubvert the Laws and religion of every civilized nation, and to introduce univcr- fally that wild and t'eftru& ive fyftem of rapine, anarchy, and impiety, the effects of which, as they have already been manifefted in France, fur- nilh a dreadful but ufeful leffon to the prefent age and to pofterity. It only remains for us to continue to perfevere in our united exertions: Their difcontinuance or relaxation could hardly procure even a fhort inter- val of delufive repofe, and could never terminate in fecurity or peace. Impreffed with the neceffity of defending all that is mod dear to us, and rely- ing, as we may with confidence, on the valour and refourcesof the nation, on the combined efforts „ of fo Iar^ s a part of Europe, and, above all, on the inAonteftiDlc Juftice of our caufe, let us ren < fcr our conduit a contraft to that of our enemies, and, by cultivating and praCUfipg the principles or any of the public offices. At half paft twelve o'clock the King and Princefs- Royal, and foon after her Majefty and the other five Princesses, came to St. James's Palace. At half pad one the Queen held a chamber of audience in her own audience chamber, where their Excellencies Yus- suff Adjiah Essendi, the Turkish Ambassador, at- tended' by his fecretary and his firft interpreter, and afterwards the Marquis del Circello, Envoy- Extraordinary from his Sicilian Majesty, were feverally prefented to her Majesty. _ The Queen alfo afterwards held a private drawing room, at wliich the Earl and Countefs of Pomfret were presented for the firft time on thi ir marriage. " At half paft two the Royal Family entered the drawing room, and the court commenced: Pre- fent, the King. Queen, Prince of Wales, Duke of Clarence, Princess- Royal, Augusta, Elisabeth, Mary and Sophia ; Duke of Gloucester, Prince William, and Princess Sophia ; with a very nu- merous and brilliant assemblage of Foreign mi- nisters, other Foreigners of distinCtion, and Eng- lifh Nobility and gentry.— The Court was not over till paft fix o'clock, wjien their Majesties, the Prince of Wales, Duke of Clarence, and the Princesses, dined together in the Queen's, apart- ments, asufual. At eight o'clock their Majesties and the Royal Family, entered the ball- room, when the minuets commenced. The ball broke up at eleven o'clock, when their Majesties and the Princesses returned to the Queen's House. Of the drESSES our limits allow but a fl\ ort account. The Queen, as ufual on her birth- day, was dreffed plain; the body & train of rich brown sattin, with pur- ple and orange sprigs; the petticoat white, with an embroidery of orange and purple velvet in fprigs, a border of the fame, with a flounce round the bottom of fine black lace. Her Majelty looked very Vvefi; flic will complete her 50th year in May. The Princefs- Royal was very fuperbly dred'ed ; the body and train of a rich futtin, with gold ltripes ; the petticoat white, very richly embroidered with ftripes of purple, and blue foil between the ( tripes, and em- broidery of gold fpangles in diamonds, a border of blue foil round the bottom, with rich tafl'el fringe. Princefs Augusta— a rich coquelicot and gold sattin ; a white petticoat, richly embroidered with stripes of green foil, covered with thineai, and fold fpangles be- t ween the ftripes; a loofo drapery of crape, fpanglecf ith gold, and ettged with rich gold tafl'els, round the bottom .1 rich taflel fringe. The Princess Elizabeth nearly, & the Princess Mary and the Princefs Sophia exactly the fame as the Princess Augusta'. Countess of Pomfret— was elegantly dressed in white and filver, the , ground strewed with sprigs and stars of silver, with festoons and falls of silver gauze, edged wilh wreaths of silver foil roses, enriched by brilliant foil stones, and finished by a deep silver fringe, tied tip with cords and tassels; round the bottom ot the petti- oat, a beautiful embroidered broad border of roses, Kljej, and medallions, and flounced with deep filver fringes. His majesty was dressed in a purple cloth coat, richly embroidered' in gold, and a gold tissue waistcoat, covered with a very rich embroidery of gold. The prince of Wales— A regimental dress suit, with the diamond star and epaulet. Karl Spencer— Green velvet over a claret- coloured silk ground coat and breeches, and white sattin waist- coat, . iohly embroidered in coloured lilks, boquets of Uoiver.. aikl a very rich filk pearl- l" aded edge. ; of Sandwich—- Spo'ted velvet coat and bieeches, pH • and- elegant; white fattin waiitcoat, embroi- dered with gold and filver. 1: very friend to the industrious poor nutft hav'c been hippy to observe the great attention paid to the lr. anutaetorici of the Country.

A letter from Paris, 1 ith J an. fays, " On thfe 30th ult. the Revolutionary Tribunal of Lyons ordered the Kings of Great Britain, Spain, Prussia, and Sardinia, the Emperor, the Pope, and Mr. Pitt, to be exeeuted in the great square in that town. They were accordingly, 111 effigy, surrendered to the executioner, and guillotined. To heighten the impression produced by this na- tional farce, Toulon was exhibited under the form of a woman, wearing 011 one breast the words, " I have betrayed my country ;" on the other fide—" I am the W—— of Kings." This figure was afterwards burnt amidft the loudeft ac- cl.- miations of the people, who were finging and dancing round the funeral pile, [ for the remainder of this Pojl^— fee the lajl • Page.'] s.

The Flanders mail of Friday, which arrived | on Saturday, confirms the capture of the imperial city of Worms by the French army of the Rhine and the Mozelle. The French have carried off from Worms a great number of magistrates and merchants, who were conducted as hostages to Landau. Letters from Huninguen, of fan. 5, bring ad- vice, that the French attempted on that day to crofs the Rhine in several ships, but were pre- vented by the Austrian troops stationed on the oppofite bank of the river, who gave them fo hearty a reception, as to sink seven of their ships by their cannon, which entirely deterred the Re- publicans from executing their designs. O11 the ; th inft. the French made an attack on Fort Louis, which was, however, unsuccessful; that fortress contains 110 guns, a ftrong garrifon, and a sufficient quantity of provisions. The French demanded of the city of Spires, one million of florins, and 50,000 loaves of bread. The island of Noirmoutier, which the army of La Vendee has just lost, is situated at the mouth of the Loire, and is seventeen miles long, by eight broad. It was nearly the last hold of that army, almoft every one of whose chiefs have been taken in it. The corps of Royalists which defended the Island of Noirmoutier, consisted of no more than 800 men. The Royalist General, Charette, is not taken, as the Paris news- papers assert, but is dill at the head of 20,000 men, and has been lately reinforced by 2000, who re- passed the Loire at Ancenis. There exists also in the forests of Maine another corps, which the Paris papers call the corps of Chouin, becaufe it is commanded by two brothers of that name. Thefe troops were a part of that army which marched against Mans. * A council of war has lately been summoned by Lord Moira, to determine on the practicability of an immediate descent 011 France. It was, as we hear, refolved, that all determination should be suspended till the return of the La Nymphe, which vessel is gone to reconnoitre the coad of France. A letter from Freron, one of the French re- presentatives at Toulon fays, if" we had been able to have sent all the women and children out of this town, we fhould have put all the rest to the fword.— It was propofed to blow the place up by mines, but this project was over- ruled on account of the risk to which the arsenal and the immense magazines would be exposed, it was therefore at length determined upon to put all the masons within the fix adjoining departments into a date of requisition ; the place will bs therefore crafod in 15 days.

FT E R his Majesty had retired, the Speech was read from the woolsack, and afterwards by the clerk at the table. A with the events of the late campaign, which appeared to him, in a general view, to be the ground for exultation, in- Head of- matter for delpondence. He p railed the ju- dicious conduct of Ministers, in forming alliances fo ^ wwerful snd respeclable, agitinR the common enemy of civil fociety ; and e:< pre tied his hope that the war would he piaiecufcd, until an advantageous and ho- nourable peace was secured. Lord AucKland, after a speech to the same effect, feconded the motion. The Earl of Guildford fpoke in opposition to the Ad- dress, he Contended that the original and avowed ob- jects of the war had be'. n accomplithcd, namely, the securitv of Holland, and our own internal tranquillity. — He tliaught the true jjolicyoi the country IhoiilU be the iftiauunent of peace, which, he imagined, could even now be very well brought about; indeed, when lie cmifidered the rel'ourcts of the country, he thought any peace preferable to war; he concluded with move- ing an amendment recommending meafures to the above elteiSt. 7he Duke of Portland declared, that his sentiments mf the justice and necessity of the war had remained t lie feme f « Ke lait year, and with encreased force. He v, as therefore decidedly in favour of a vigorous profe- cution of it. The Earl of Guildford spoke in explanation. Earl Spencer faid, that his confidence, and duty to his country, impelled liim likewise to a prompt and explicit- avowal of his fentiments. He thought the cir- cumltanccs of the country required the union of all good men in it's defence. The war he confidered as equally juit and unavoidable— it was unprovoked on our part— we were forced imo it, to preferve not only nur Allies and the Balance of Power in Europe, but our own Laws and Ccnllituliou, our Property, our Re- ligion, and our Lives.— He regretted that he ihould now have to dillfcr with men with whom lie lud for years been in the habits of intimacy; but, dilferyig as he did with them in points of the molt ellenttal conl'e- queiue, he heiitated not to fay, that their dilunion mufl he complete. His lordship concluded by giving his tirm and decided support to the Addrefs. Earl Stanhope said, he totally differed from the Noble Lc « ds who fpoke lalt- n- lo far from the war being necef- fary, he inertcd that it's fpecdy termination was the onfv way to favc the country from impending ruin ; and imprefied with thel'e fentintents, he faid, he thouldmovc on Tiiuifday next an addrefs to his Ma- jeftv to acknow ledge the French Republic. '( he Duke of Norfolk was in favour of the amend- ment. ' The Earl of Mansfield, in a speech of fome length, in which he displayed his usual abilities, fupported the addrefs. He congratulated their lordlhips on the veiy great unanimity which apptfared among them, and R! m'oit without an exception. He contended that no treaty could be ma le with fecurity or honour with the prefent rulers in France ; they luid, like their predo. ceilbrs, acquired their power moll wickedly and fud- denly, and as luddehly they might lol'e it; litis Tingle conlideration, among iiiany others lie adduced, thould ( he faid) be sufficient at present to do away all ideas of lie - ci. itions. 71, Marquis of Townshend, in a fhort fpeech, ex- prell'cd his liappmefs irt beholding fo much. union and loyaltv in thecultitry. Lord Derby supported the amendment. The war he detelted in it's hr( t concoAion, and nothing had hap- pened in the coUrfeof laftcampaign, to induce liini to alter - his opinion. The French he believed, had fucli a deteftation to a monarchical fonn of Government, that they would not have the old fyfteio reftored, while there was a man in France, or an aflighat to pay him with : from persisting in theJirefent meafures, the molt calamitous events would take place ; already had I?., ooo manufacturers been taken from the loom to fight the battles of our allies, the public treasures v/ ere- ex- hauited in fubfidizlne foreign Princes j emigrations Were common, and ehiefiy compofed - of the niofl in- dultrious part of the community, who were pining for want in their once ftonrirhing towns. — rAjvpad our af- fair., were not in a ltate that could giv « usa profpect of indemnification for the lofl'es of tne war. Lord Grenville at some length, defended the conduct of ministers; be called the attention of. their Lord- lhips to the treaties by Which we Were bound to our powerful allies, and to the impolicy as well - as dif- nonour, in acting fo as from tall friends to convert them into implacable enemies ; the recent hiltorv of Fran. c, lie f; ud, would Ihow the ahl'urdity of at- tempting to treat with it's pj'efent rulers. the Marquis of Landsdowne contended, that pfcjce might have been fecured lilt ; ear— He thought" the > rinciple and policy of the war equally wrong; and aid, that he would chearfully fubl'cribe to an act I , . of indemiuty to MiniKcts for all paft errors, and a fecurity ' for their places, if thev would oiily tuake peace. The Earl of Lauderdale warmly reprobated the ge- neral conduct of ministers, particularly refpefting the w ar j wnich, he asserted, was a war against the prin- ciples of Liberty; and instead- of being, as WAS al- le- dgedi a defeirfive one, was perfectly the reverfe. Hi.- cautioned Miniiters, left they might again bring the country intofuch an humiliating situation, aslhe had been btou^ ht, in consequcnce of opposing the in- dependence of America. He alfo alluded to fome late convictions in Scotland; where, he aliened, the law had been ltretched toferve thepurpoleof ( Ipvernmcnt; and promifed to bring forward an enquiry into the I'll h jtrt, 7 « . Earl of Carlisle combated what had fallen from the noble liarl who I'poke lalt, with much ingenuity and fuccels. A.--, alio did Lord Grenville; in which reply he went pretty much into a detail of the atrocious proceedings of the French demagogues. [ he Earl of Lauderdale fpoke in explanation. '• The Lord- Chancellor thought himfelf obliged to ob- serve some personalities which had fallen from the no- ble earl, and dwelt on the indecorum. He likewife vindicated the Judges of the Scotch Courts, for the alpei lions which he conceived calt on them by his Lord ( hip. The Ear! l of Lauderdale explained ; after which a division took place, when there appeared.— Againlt the amendment 97— For it ii—— Majority 85. More than eighT to ON E in fupport of Government. The Addrefs was then carried without a divifion, and tiie Houfc adjourned. HOuSE of COMMONS, TutsnAY, JAN. 21. The Addrefs was moved by Lord Clifden in a ( hort fpeech, and seconded by Sir Peter Burrel with much anility. Lord wycombe fpoke at fome length against the war, and took ' a general view of the warlike transactions 011 the Continent. I le was particularly fevcre upon the attack of Dunkirk, which, upon the authority of of- ficers engaged in it, he reprefented as extremely ill con certed, and worl'e executed. Colonel Tarlton followed in the fame line of argu- ment, as did Mr. Courtnay, in a speech replete with infinite humour, and 110 small degree of argument. The necessity of reducing France, previous to any treaty of peace, he compared to an Irish wedding, where the rape was committed first, and the marriage concluded afterwards. Mr. t. h. Brown and Lord Mornington spoke in fa- vour of the addrefs. Mr. Sheridan replied to Lord Mornington, and ob- served, that all parties in France had reproved each other for going to war. What did this prove, but that all parties in France were inclined to peace— every thing tended to fhow that France was inclined to peace, for brissot had becnexprefsly accufed w ith having involved the country in war.— He then animadverted 011 the con- duct of genet in America. How did that wise country behave on that occasion ? Where is the man who would fay fhc felt herself degraded by his conduct > She was not fo be forced into hollilities, and was in consequence now enjoying that profperity which we might have experienced had our proceedings been cha- raCtcrised by limiiar prudcnce. He reprobated the conduct of Miniiters, the mode of earning on the war in all quarters, at Toulon, and Dunkirk, in the Eaft- Indies, and in the Channel, convinced him that nothing bur peace could put an end to the calamities which our improvident qppofition had brought upon others. It was'a reflection on the character of Englishmen, to fay that any danger could be apprehended by this country from the establishment of a Republic in France. Mr. wyndham, with great ingenuity, fupported the arguments hi favour of the war, combated the objec- tions to carry it on, and conceived it more necef- farv than ever to purfue it with unabating vigour. \ fr. Secretary Dundas replied to fome imputations which had been thrown out against his Majesty's Mi- , niflers for want of vigilance and attention to the mode of carrying on the war. The equipment of the ma- rine and naval expeditions had, lie faid, exceeded everv thing that could be paralleled in history. The number of seamen, w hich was at lirft only 18, coo, had been rapidly increafed to 50, ojx>, the fh'ips put into commilhrtn had been alfo increafed, and the Marine had been fo provident as to protect our commerce, and at the fame time to fend oilr fleet t6 the Weft- Indies and Toulon. He should have no objection, when the House chose to investigate the conduct of Miniiters, to crime forward with arguments to prove tWl their exer- tions in the military and naval departments had been fuperior to any thing that before had been known. Mr. Fox complained of the complicated shape in which the question now appeared, and wifhfcd that h had been bsfore fairly stated, that the prefent Was a war to exterminate the Jacobin party in France.— It was a melancholy thing now to hear that we could not treat till the Jacotiins were deft'royed. This was a fpecula- tion, in which wc rifked every thing that was dear. He reprobated the principles of the war, and the mode of conducing it. There would be as good fecurity that treaties would be kept as we could have from any crowned head whatever: nay, as we could have if Louis the Sixteenth had been'actually reltored to the Crown, We ought, he faid, to have follow ed the con- duct of General Washington, with respect to Genet, and the prudence of the President of the United States in his conduct, and the wisdom evinced in his speech to the Senate. The Americans were vilified, he faid, in the fame manner, the very fame arguments had been applied to them, as had been recently applied refpedt- ing France; we had abused the Americans as we were now abusing the French; but you will be compelled to treat with them at lalt; and God grant tliat you may not then be under worl'e circumftances than the pre- sent. Mr. Fox moved an amendment, " that his Ma- jesty would be pleafed to enter into a liegociation for the establishment of peace, and that the nature of the government Ihould be noobltacle to that liegociation." Mr. Pitt said he w as anxious to state clearly his sen- timents on the prefent occasion. There was 110 ambi- guity in the intention of his Majesty's Miniiters with refpeit to the prefent war. They had clearly and ex- plicitly lfated, that the grounds were fecurity to our- felves and our allies, and indemnity for aggrelfions al- ready obtained.— These measures cannot be obtained while the present government exilts in France ; a go- vernment effectually destructive in it's principles to all the governments in Europe. If, therefore, the argu- ments admitted by the Houfe tor undertaking the war were good, they were certainly now more forceable for continuing it with all possible vigour. War could present no calamities fo terrible as thole in which this country might be involved from relaxing in her preparations, at the very moment when thefe preparations were upon the point of being fuccefsful. He objected to the amendment proposed by the Hon. Gentleman, as the destruction of a faction ruinous in if's principles, to all the powers of Europe, to Re- ligion, Morality, and Law, was the reason of our tirft taking arms.— It was acknowledged by the law of nati- ons, that where two parties were deftroyingeach other, a third power might interfere to promote tranquillity. It was, in the prefent inftancc, both our duty and our interelt to interfere, and prevent thole evils ; and con- tinue our efforts againft a system, aggravated in it's ef- fects, and encreafed in it's means againlt- a faction con- stantly varying the perfons in it's Administration like the clustering of scenes in theatrical reprcfetitations. Much did it become surroundiiig nations to prohibit intercourl'e with a country where immorality and in- fidelity go hand in hand ; and to refill oppreflion which* had grown to fo gigantic an extent, and would, if not crulhed, operate to the terror of Europe. It fhould have bean recollected, that a decree had been palled by the Convention, which enatts, that they will not treat with anv of the Belligerent Powers, except thev til- It acknowledge the Unity and Indivifi- bility of the French Republic. How could we with propriety do this ? how did wc know, that if we did, we ihould have any fecurity that this treaty would he kept?— 111 every point of view, therefore, hefawthat tlie hazard of war would be preferable to the calami ties which an improvident peace would bring upon this counrry. Mr. Fox fpoke briefly in expiration. At five in the mornijig the House divided, when there appeared.— For the amendment, — Against it, 277, Majority 21X. Nearly five to oNe. in support of Government. The motion for the Address was then put & carried. LONDON, January 23. Yesterday, soon after twelve o'clock, the King came from buckingham- house to St. James's Pa- lace, where his Majelly had'a levee, which began before one o'clock, ami was not over till half paft two, being very fully attended. At three o'clock the Chancellor, attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops, and feveral other mem- bers of the Upper- House, arrived with the ad- drefs, which was preferred to the King, who fat on his throne in. the grand council- chamber, and having been read by the Lord Chancellor, and delivered into the King's hand, his Majefty gave a very gracious anfwer thereto. The Flanders mail due on Monday arrived yef- terday, but brought no intelligence of any parti- cular importance; the lalt letters from the Rhine, which come down to the 13th inllant, ftate, that the French, in attempting to break through the cordon of the Pruflians, to penetrate farther to- wards Mentz, were attacked and repulfed by the Duke of Brunswick.— Fort- Louis Hill baffles all the efforts of the French to retake it.— Manheim is in a most respectable state of defence, and it's garrison exceeds 10,0oo men. The banks of the Maese and the Mozelle have also been secured from hostile invasion. General Beaulieu, with u, ooo Austrian and Dutch troops, is arrived at Treves. The French have fince taken Sr. Wendel and Kreutzrtach, but afterwards retreated from both those places, after having pillaged them. In the Palatinate, and every where elfe, they strip the unfortunate inhabitants quite naked, and leave them without the smallest means of subsistence. The cruelties and atrocities which they exercise wherever they go, baffle the powers of language. Advices from Stockholm, of the 31ft ult. lay, that there is every appearance of the most violent interior insurrection. The government have or- dered all the inhabitants to keep in their houses, and not to stir out until they hear five guns fired, and the alarm bell rung. The French ships which have lately been feen in our channel have thrown the inhabitants on the sea coast into alarm, and not without sufficient cause. Two of their boats, filled with men, landed last week between Dartmouth and Brix- ham, on the Devonshire coast, and carried off 25 sheep from a farm belonging to Mr. Buller, the ion of Sir Francis Buller. Nothing can be more audacious than the con- tempt with which the French treat the sublime science of generalship. To beat Marshal Freytag, and raise the fiege of Dunkirk, they sent Hou- chard, a horse- dealer • to beat Prince Cobourg, and raise the fiege of Maubeuge, they sent Jour- dan, a haberdasher; to retake ' Toulon, they fent Dugommier, a stationer-, to beat the Duke of Brunswick, and drive General Wurmfer out of Alsace, they sent Hoche, a postillion— and more inflating than all the rest . everyone of thefe low fellows succeeded in his mission f In the session of the French Convention on the qth, Vouland made a report of the English and Spanish who were taken prisoners at Toulon; they are at follow: General Charles O'Hara ; Major Archibald Campbell, of the 69th regiment; Thomas Grant, a Midshipman; Richard Lamp- lew, a Sergeant; William Graham, a Doctor; Andrew Bond, a Surgeon ; Gens Envin, John Jogden, and Antoine Grissots, servants; and Raphael Esscharbarn, a Spanish Colonel, Aid- de- Camp to General Gravina.— Total, ten. General O'Hara, and the rest of the prisoners mentioned in Vouland's report, are in the prison of the Luxemburgh, with Thomas Paine, & c. The grand total of the prisoners at Paris, amounts to The " Revolutionary Tribunal have condemned to death Adrien Lamourette, constitutional Bishop of the Department of the Rhine and the Loire.— They were also preparing for the trial of 2oindi- viduals, accused of a conspiracy to carry off young Capet and the late Queen. The Republicans found at Noirmoutier pro- visions sufficient to supply an army of 20,000 men during fix months. The inhabitants of Barbane, who favoured the Royalists, have been declared traitors to their country, and their houses have been razed. Friday night two Frenchmen were apprehended at Dover as spies. They were going to Ostend, and had several plans of the channel coast, parti- cularly that of PortsmOuth and it's environs, in their cultody. They were provided with A raff- port, and had, when at Portsmouth, assumed the character of Emigrants, who were going to join the armament under the Earl of Moira. The transports with the British troops on board are failed from Cowes, and will be stationed at Southampton, Lymington, and places adjacent, where the men are to be quartered. The tran fports, with the Hessian troops on board went on Tuesday into the harbour oi. Cowes, to land their horfes. We underftand the following to be the lift of the Minority in the Houfe of Peers on Tuefday lad :— Dukes of Bedford and Norfolk ; Marquis of Lansdowne; Earls Derby, Lauderdale, Guild- ford, Stanbope, Cholmondeley, Egmont, and Albemarle; Lords Ched worth and St. John.— The Duke of Devonfhire and Lord Thurlow went away before the divifion; and the Duke of Clarence voted for the war. Yesterday died, the Right Hon. Viscount Mountstuart. eldest son of the Earl of Bute, Lord- Lieutenant of the county of Glamorgan, Colonel of the Glamorganshire Militia, and Representa- tive in Parliament for the town of Cardiff.— His Lordship lately married Lady Elizabeth Crichton, only daughter of the Earl of Dumfries, by whom he has left one fon. His Lordship's death was oc- casioned by a fall from his horse.— The cir- cumftances of his lordship's death should be men- tioned, as an admonition to horfemen: Some few days ago, when taking a ride, he found his horse unruly; _ thinking to conquer his obstinacy, he struck him with his whip between the ears, and knocked him down. His lordship not being able to disentangle himself from the stirrups, was greatlv bruised by the fall; but the principal in- jury that he received was in the head; the scull was not fractured, but a concussion of the brain took place, which in a few days put an end to his life. Yesterday four prisoners were tried at the Old Bailey, three of whom were convicted of felonies, and one was acquitted.— The fame day sentence was passed, when 13 capital convicts received judgement of death j and 20 were ordered to be transported for feven years. Tuefday fe'nnight a tradesman's wife in the city who had been ill for fome time, was thought by the women about her to have breathed her last.— Whilst preparations were making for the funeral, the body was watched, but no motion, or even steam on a clear looking- glass, being perceptible, though often tried, it was put into the coffin last Thurfday ;— when, to the great astonishment of several perfons prefent, the supposed deceased sighed and stretched out one of her hands, which instantly fell on her breast. The body was placed in a warm- bed, and other means, recommended by the humane fociety, were employed ; and in less than four hours her speech and senses re- turned. She continues extremely weak, but there are hopes of her being restored to health and her numerous family. Lift of the number of Bankrupts in the yeay 1793.

HOUSE of LORDS, ThURSDAY, JAN. A3. EARL stanhope, ed the purpor ledge the i- rcn of confiderabl wlii/- h ivprt* fli eARL Stanhope, according to his protiiife, open- purport of his motion, " to acknow- the french Conflitution," in a fpefcch nfiderable length, the grand features of which were the molt unbounded eulogium on the French Constitution. The noble Earl, with an en- thusiasm almost bordering on that which actates the Gallic philosophers, defended every principle, every < ieed, cverv feutintent of the ruling powers of that • country, lie declared, that they were the best, the most rationally collected, and the'wisest government on the face of the earth. The happiness of mankind was their object— justice and truth their guides. The noble Lord then adverted to the arguments made 11 fe of by thole noble Lords who fpoke in favour of the . Addrefs, and ohferving that the fpeech of the Seconder was the principal one that came to the point, he fhould pay his particular attention to that. In doing this, and to let alide the facts laid down by that noble Lord, lie fhould ( late the fails of which he himfelf was pof- fefl'ed. In the firfl place he infilled, that the govern- ment of France was rich beyond the example of all former governments. Some p « ople might fay, they were rich by the plunder of individuals. Be it lb. Bui let it be remembered at the fame time, that this plunder fo collcfled, was for the pttrpol'e of making them all happy. [ Here there was a univerfal laugh in the house.] He laid, the noble Lords might laugh, but the fa<$ mm fo, and the people gloried in being robbed of their all, for the assistance of the common caufe. In respect to the Constitution of France, he infilled the grossest libels had been published upon it in this country. It was a molt glorious fabric of immortal wifdom, althpngh in fome parts it might be deemed vulnerable, and whatever Miniflcrs might think of the resources of that country to fupport fuch a Conflitu- tion, he could take upon Him to aver, that their re- fources were great— they were alrrioll infinite. They had confiscated the estates of Nobles, which had fold for lit times more than they were valued at; they had melted down saints and images, and all the paraphernalia of the Bishops and other dignified clergy, & had converted into cannon and money thole tinkling bells which fo ufelefsly tinkled in their lofty fteeples. His noble friend ami relation, the Secretary of State, he knew held quite a dili'etent opinion on this fubjeel; he thought the finance, of France were ruined, bccaufe there were no more bells; he confidered their refources as drained, after taking the whole property of the merchants and other rich individuals— but he was mil- taken, for although the churches were drained of their plate, and the people of their money, yet there was Ailti-.' ient in the National Treasury, at this moment, to fupport the war tor another campaign. The magazines of powder were immense, and they had more salt- petre than thev Would want for years ( here there was ano- ther laugh) and as to mulquets, though they had been deprived of the Birmingham llutf, they now made one thoufand per day, which aniouuted to jfi<;, ood per rear, exclufive of their immenfe park of artillery, and when added to this, we consider that the rising gene- ration of France were all training to arms by old fol- diers, for almoft every man in France is a foldicr, it was prcpollerouj to fiippofe that we fhould ever con- quer them. The noble Earl then adverted to Toulon, the bufi- jiefs respecting which he called moft scandalous, and fticb as merited the severest enquiry ;— he read the feveral proclamations of Lord hood, and compared them with the Declaration made by the Austrian Generals, from which he drew a conclusion, that they militated againil bach other, and proved that the Con- stitution of 1789 was not the objefl, but that Monarchy, unlimited Monarchy, was that for which the Combined Powers were fighting. He was, he laid, a friend to liberty— to French liberty, fo. far as it refpecled the rights of individuals; and he would go fo far as to add, that if the fortune of war fo ordained it, he lhould glory to be banged in Curb a cause [ here there wis a third and a loud laugh] for it was the cause of mankind ' He " ... and of philosophy. always venerated freedom-^- Jie confidered it as the birth- rjght of Englishmcn— aiid his noble relation ( Lord GrenvilleJ might smile, but the faft was, that the subject deferved more lerious consideration ; it was of the utmofl magnitude, and really deferved attention. Much had been faiil about the religion of the French. Some people call them Atheists— but they are not atheists— only a few— and that tew, were chiefly £ rif- tocrats— downright terrible Aristocrats.— The Conven- tion respected relisiou— the " adored God. He laid he could pro « e it— and as a proof read something from the debates of the Convention, where the Members all role up & cried out, we admit there is a God, although lie did allow that many perfoils were perfecuted for being too religious— but athcifjm in France did not originate with the prcfeM revolution. The noble Lord who fat behind him { Lord Mansfiuld) mull remem- ber, that in a mixed company in Paris twenty years ago, when the fubjeil of religion was started, feveral Prelates and Bishops in the warmth of dispute won- dered how it was poffible that any man could have his tmderflanding fo abufed, his realon fo contaminated, as to believe there was a God. The heads of the Church were the firlt leader? toatheifm, and hefliould proceed to lav before tlie Houfe fome fails in corro- boration of this truth. Every man had a right to think as suitcd his reason— civil liberty allowed that freedom, and he should prove some facts respecting this matter from the following circumstances— The cannon taken The Bishop of Durham here rose, and faid, he could not allow the noble Earl to proceed any further, with- out calling him to order. The Housfe, quite tired of his Lordship's speech, now loudly called for the question, in consequence Lord Stanhope moved, " That an humble Addrefs be prefented to His Majesty, praying that His Majeflv would be gracioully pteafcu to acknowledge the French Republican constitution. Lord Abingdon begged to make a fhort remark, he faid, t hat tbfc noble Earl had said in part of his speech, he - wished to be hanged, and if the House would allow him rope enough," he would soon accomplish that purpol'e. His Lordship added, that he never heard such a farrago of nonsense, atheism, and absurdities, delivered before the present day in Parliament.— The noble Earl's speech he contended, was a defence of the most diabolical system of arbitrary government that ever disgraced the annals of history. What were the French ? Murderers— assasins— common plunderers— without humanity— without religion— without honcfly — without any one attribute which could entitle them to the fraternal embrace of European society. He therefore for his part thought, that the only mark of attention which the Houfe ought to pay to the noble Lord's motion, was a hearty horfe laugh. Two or three other Lords having spoken briefly to the quelfion, it was put by the Lord- Chancellor, 011 Lord Stanhope's motion, which was negatived by the whole House, the Mover excepted. Their Lordships then adjourned to Tucfday next. LONDO N, January 25. Thurfday in the House of Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice that he fhould move the army estimates in the committee of fupply on Wednesday next; and Ihould open the budget on Wednefday fe'nnight. The following is his Majesty's most gracious answer to the address presented by the House of Peers : " My Lords, " I return you my warmeft acknowledgments for this very dutiful and loyal addrefs.— The fen- tiinents you exprefs refpefting the prefent impor iant fituation of public affairs, and the zeal and union you have manifested in fupport of thofe jneafures, which can alone tend to maintain the dearelt interests of my people, and to fecure the tranquillity and independence of Europe, cannot tail of producing the happiest effefts both at home and abroad. You may be assured, that nothing fhall be wanting on my part, to employ with energy and vigour, in a caufe of fuch deep con- cern, those resources which I derive from the wisdom and firmness of my Parliament, and from the general attachment of my people to the constitution and government of their country and to the interests of humanity, order, and re ligion, throughout all Europe." The persons who attended the Lord- Chancellor OB Wednesday to St. James's, with the Address from the House of Lords to his Majefty, pro- niifingzealouily to fupport: the prefent war against France, were— 1 h? Duke of Clarence, Duke of Portland, Marquis of Salifbury, Earl Fitzwilliam Earl of Mansfield, Earl Spencer, Archbishops of canterbury and York, Lord Stair, Lord Auk- lsihd, Lord Hardwicke, the Bishop of Durham, and two other Bishops. The Duke of Portland, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl Spencer, and all the noble houfe of Caven- dish, have conducted themselves on the subject of the war with France, in that honed and dignified manner, which has at all times characterized their family. Thev feel the ftrong necessity of opposing French Jacobinism, and disdain to oppose the Minister at the expence of their country's ruin, Wednefday arrived the Mail from Flanders; by which we learn the following intelligence: The letters from the Rhine are of a much more consolatory nature than any that of late have reached us from that quarter. They ftate unani- moufly, that the Republican armies have hitherto made no attempt to crofs the Rhine, and that, if they fhould attempt it, they could hardly fuc- ceed, as they would not only be moft vigorously oppofed by the Austrian and Prussian troops, but alfo by the inhabitants on and near the right banks of that River, who are arming in great numbers to defend their families and properties againil thofe sanguinary banditti, who mark their footsteps with blood, fire, and rapine. Private letters from Paris, fay, that General O'Hara is to be tried for his life. They do not, however, state the grounds of accusation against him; nor can there be any thing like law, to jus- tify fuch a procedure. - The exceptions taken by the French against General O'Hara, and for which it is faid they are going to try him, are supposed to be their having lately found out, that he was one of the King of Great Britain's com- missioners at Toulon; and on this point it is conjectured they propose instituting their charge against him as a sower of sedition, Sec. In a letter lately received from the unfortunate General O'Hara, there is the following paragraph, which but too evidently shews the pre- sentiment he has of his unhappy fate— After stating the hardships and miseries of mind and body that he has undergone since his capture, he concludes, " but my greateft misfortune is, that I find myself recovering from my wounds." The Sphynx sloop of war has taken & brought into Plymouth, the Trompeuse, a French floop of war of 16 guns and ico men. which ( he cap- tured fome days ago on tne Coast of Ireland, after a fhort aflion. The Sphynx is one of the fquadron under the command of Rear Admiral kingsmill. It appears that the above ( hip failed from Brest about a fortnight fince, in company with five fail of the line and three frigates, one of them the Thames, lately captured from the British, and which ship the Captain of the Trompeuse mistook the Sphynx for, to cruize off Cape Clear, in Ireland, for the sole purpose of intercepting the outward- bound West- India fleet, which thev had received advice were about to ( ail from Cork, under convoy of the Argonaut, of 64 guns, Capt. Aylmere. In confequence of this information, Admiral Kingsmill, who has the command at Cork in his Majesty's ship Swiftsure, of 74 guns, took the prudent precaution of detaining the fleet from sailing, until he may receive advice from this country, or a sufficient reinforcement of ( hips for their protection. A letter from Marseilles, of the ift inst. states, that upwards of six hundred persons had been shot at Toulon ; and that the sergeants, Adju- tants, and soldiers of the marine, had been shot on the same day, with the remaining municipial officers. The following affected and idle regulations have been made in Paris, respecting the interment of the dead :— The dead shall have their face un- covered ; they are to remain twelve hours in their place of abode ; they shall be carried upon a lit- ter, covered with a drapery characterizing the three stages of life; the drapery ornamented with tri- coloured lace, shall be of one plain colour, namely, for youth white, bearing this inscription —" He grew for the country !"— For the age of manhood, it is to be red, with this infeription —" He lived for the country !— and blue for old people, with this inscription—" I have lived for the country !"— The litter is to be carried on the shoulders of four citizens, dressed in a pantaloon and short waistcoat, with a tri- coloured girdle. Over it they fhall wear a tunic, which is to come down to their knees, and on their heads a red cap. — Children shall be borne by children from eight to twelve years of age.— The body after having lain twelve hours, is to be carried to the field of repofe, accompanied by thofe whom the burial ( hall concern.— The dead are to be buried at mid- night. It was last night very generally rumoured, that a Noble Lord had been detected in carrying on a secret correspondence with the French, and in having made an offer of their landing on his Es- tate, which lies contiguous to the sea. It was further rumoured, that he had secreted himself, and that the officers of justice were in quest of him. This we state merely as a report which came to us through a very respectable channel.— True Briton. At Bath Quarter Sessions, Geo. Wilkinson, a journeyman printer, was found guilty of sediti- ously wishing Succefs to the French, and saying The King and his Ministers were villains. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 20s. to suffer four months imprifonment, and to find fureties in tool, for his good behaviour for one year. At Cambridge sessions, Mr. Luke Pennington, ( a person employed in the printing office of the Cambridge intelligencer) had a bill of indictment preferr'd against him, for calling the King a silly fellow. The grand jury threw out the bill. On Tuesday last, at the Chelmsford quarter sessions. Wallace & Robert Blatch, a church- warden and overfeer of the parish of Childitch, in_ the faid county, being convicted of a con- spiracy to effect a marriage between two paupers, in order to exonerate their own parish, and to bring an unlawful burden on the neighbouring parish of Little Warley, were sentenced by the court to be fined tol. each, and to he imprisoned one calendar month in the jail of the faid county: — an exemplary punishment, which will operate to prevent such fraudulent practices in future. rowed a litter ofoine pigs; and a pointer whelmed feven puppies.

YESTERD AY morning officia 1 dispatches were received at the India House, an- nouncing the important news of the capture of Pondicherry.— They were received by express over- land. Thefe were immediately forwarded to Govern- ment, and in consequence the Tower guns were fired at one o'clock. Thursday arrived another Dutch mail; it brings little of importance respecting the affairs of the Rhine.— The siege of Fort Louis continues; the attacks, made upon it are unremitting, but vigorous, as is likewife the defence.— The Prus- sian head- quarters, fay fome of the accounts, are removed to Mentz. That city is now considered as entirely out of danger.— Numerous reinforce- ments daily arrive, in support of both the Prus- sian and Austrian armies.— The French continue to evacuate the posts they lately took possession of, after plundering the inhabitants of every thing useful. It feems they are about to take up their winter quarters under the protection of the for- trefs of Landau. We are forry to learn, by letters from the head-, quarters in Flanders, that very serious apprehen- fions are entertained that the French will follow the example of their countrymen on the Rhine, and bear down in a maj's on the poll of the Allies in the Netherlands. We under ft jinxl that General ] ourdan* s Army has been reinforced to the num- ber of i So, 000 men. The Prince de Cobourg has taken the ncceffary dispositions to defend himfelf.— Times.

On 1 uefday morning the Lady of John Charles Girardot, Esq. of Dallington, near this town, was safely delivered of a foil and heir. . The Rev. John Burt, M. A. late of St, John'; college, Cambridge, was last week unanimously elected master of the free grammar- school at Up- pingham, on the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Jackson, who has held that office many years with the highest credit, Thursday in the Court of King's Bench, a Writ of Mandamus was moved for , to_ be direfk'd to the Bishop of Ely, commanding him to re- store the Rev. Mr. Frend to all the rights and privileges of a Fellow of his College in Cam- bridge; which Motion was rejected by the Court. At the Quarter Sessions for Oxfordshire, held on Tuesday' se'nnight, the Chairman gave a very excellent Charge to the Grand Jury. He strongly reprobated the custom of the farming out the poor, which in it's consequences must, of neces- sity, defeat the charitable provisions of the law, since, on the one hand, the parish let the main- tenance of the poor at the cheapest rate they can; and, on the other, the keeper must get a subsist- ence from the employment, which can only be obtained by fqueezing and oppressing the unfor- tunate objects committed to his charge.— He re- commended it to the farmers to increase their labourers' wages, which he observed should keep pace with the increased price of provisions; ana he inveighed, in a particular manner, against the practice of employing the poor by the yard land, and at a price far too scanty to enable the most industrious labourer to earn a maintenance. At the sessions for the county of Somerset last week, feveral articles belonging to Friendly So-, cieties were prefented for the approbation of the Justices, purfuant to Aft of Parliament, in many of which was introduced the following claufe: If any person shall, during society hours, be guilty of uttering or promoting seditious or treasonable language, and it is clearly proved by two witnesses, he shall forfeit Ios. 6d. or he excluded,— This clause met the univerfal approbation of the Magiftrates, and it was recommended to be adopted by other So- cieties. On Saturday evening about fix o'clock, as Mr. Emery Palmer, of Goldington, Beds, was return- ing from Bedford market, with Mrs. Palmer be- hind him, he was stopped about halt a mile from the town by three fellows disguised and armed with bludgeons, who, after having much' beaten Mr. and Mrs. Palmer, robbed him of 14 guineas and fome silver. Mr. P. taking the advantage of the darknefs of the night, crossed the fields, re- turned to Bedford, and informed some friends, who immediately went in purfuit of the robbers^ two of whom they apprehended, but the other escaped ; ftrifl fearch, however, is making after him.— They prove to be privates in the Derby- byshire militia, and are supposed to be the same men that attempted to stop Mr. Palmer about a month ago, and the fame evening robbed Mr. Abbot,— as mentioned in a former paper. On Thursday evening, as a fervant of Mr. Cooper's, of Great Wigston, was returning home from Leicefter, he was stopped within half a mile of Wigfton, by two footpads, who pulled him off his horfe, and robbed him of his purfe, con- taining ten ( hillings, with which they made oft". The Red Lion, at High Wycombe, Bucks, was set on fire by accident on Wednefday night, and burnt to the ground in an hour. Six horses were also consumed, and the master of the inn with difficulty escaped, being ill in. bed with the gout. Friday se'nnight a melancholy accident hap- pened at Cambridge: The Rev. Mr. Basket, mathematical lecturer of Sidney college, was un- fortunately fhot dead by a gun going off in his own room. A few days ago a very melancholy accident happened in a coal- pit, near Newcastle, by- holing an unexpected old wafte, charged with inflammable air, which inftantly took fire from one of the workmen's candles. A general ex- plofion enfued, by which 25 men and boys, and alfo 16 horfes, were killed. Five other boys were fo feverely burnt, that the it lives are d'e- fpaired of. The coroner's inquest was held last week, on the body of an infant, which had been privately interred in St. Bartholomew's church yard, Bir- mingham. It appeared, upon the inquest, that the poor, miserable mother of the child had been left by her husband ( who is gone for a soldier) with three young children, and having had no rest for two nights, nor a bed to lie upon, strewed some straw before a fire, in her wretched apart- ment, on which she laid two of her children, and sat upon a chair herself, with the youngest on her lap. Overcome with fatigue, ( he foon forgot her cares in deep, and ( dreadful to relate) was awakened by the burning of her cloaths, from the flames that had destroyed her child, which had fallen from her lap under the grate, and was hurnt to death without her hearing it's cries. The poor woman is also much scorched. MARRIED.] On Tuesday the 7th inftant, Mr. Fox, to Miss Richardson, both of Oundle. — The following day, at Little Dalby, Leices- tershire, the Rev.

Whitehall, Jan. 18. disPATCHES, of which the following extracts, have been received over nd from India by the Honourable Court of Direflors for Affairs of the 5 murable United Company of Merchants of Inland trading- to the East- lndies. Extract of a letter from the governor and Council at Bengal, in their Political Department, to the Court of Directors, dated Bengal, dug. 1, 1793. On the nth of June we received from the Go- vernor in council at Fort St. George, by the Drake cruizer,. which had arrived there from Suez on the ift, copies of dispatches, dated the 10th of April, from Mr. Baldwin, his Majesty's Conful at Alexandria, with a detail of intelli- gence from Europe, notifying, in positive terms, that the French had declared war against England and Holland on the ift of February, 1793. We therefore issued orders, which were effected^ without resistance, . for the taking possession of Chandernagore and the several French factories in this country; and seizing the vessels here that carried the French flag. The government of Madras immediately com- menced the necessary preparations for the siege of Pondicherry, whisre Col. Floyd, - with a detach- ment, arrived on the 1 ith of July, to blockade it cm the land side, while the Commodore, with his Majesty's frigate the Minerva, and three ot our China ships, the Triton, Warley, and Royal Charlotte, were employed to prevent supplies from being imported by sea; and the French fac- tories of Karica and Yanam have been taken pos- session of by the officers of the Madras govern- ment. Extract of ( I Letter from the Governor and Council a1 Bombay, in their Political Department, to the Court, of Directors, dated Bombay, Sept. 3, 1793. Having authentic intelligence, bv the Drake cruizer from Suez, that hostilities had actually commenced " between Great Britain and France, we issued the necessary orders for reducing the Fort of Mahe, and taking possession of their fac- tory at Surat, which we have the pleasure to ac- quaint you have been effected without resistance. j — •• yr The allies, according to official returns pre- vious to the late dreadful slaughter on the Rhine, Live had 69,000 men killed in the course of the year 1793; to which number may be added 20fiek and wounded in the hospitals, making togetiicr the amazing force of near 90,000 men, which the ravage ot one campaign has rendered lifeless to the royal cause. The Chevalier St. George, after all his com- bats and adventures, is likely to terminate his life at last by the inglorious Guillotine, having been lately arrested at Soissons, now the depart- ment of Aisne. . The Paris papers mention, that thomas Paine and Anacharsis Cloots have been committed to the prison ot the Luxembourg. By accounts from West- Flanders, dated the 1 itli instant, we learn, that on the 10th, the mi- litary hospital at Lisle was set On fire, in which there were 1800 sick, of whom the greatest part perished! .... ,. rJ'he French have paid an involuntary compli- ment to the political importance and commercial credit of this country, by the imitation of our coin. It is reported as a faft, that they have a< F? ually fabricated three millions of GUINEAS ; finding that, in order to obtain the Commodities they may want from other countries, and which they can only procure by clandeltiue means, none of their baalted affignats will do ; nay, that even the immense spoils of their rapacity can be cir- culated only with effect in a British form. The Americans, disgusted with the conduct of the French minister, are determined- to arm, that they may be ready, in cafe of an emergency, to repel any insult. ' The States met in congress on the 2d of December. On the 3d, his Excellency- Gen. Washington made a speech to both houses, in which he explained the propriety of this mea- fUre. The conduct of Citizen Genet seems to have chiefly prompted it. . A report has been tot some days in circulation and feems. to. gain credit, that Admiral Barrington is to have the command of the Channel Fleet next crnize, on account of Earl Howe's indifferent state health, and that the Duke of Clarence is to go ou t " second in command. 1 to those who know how to value, and to thofe who would fain undervalue, the glorious advan- tages gained by Lord Hood by the capture and destruction of . five and forty ships of war at Tou- lon and in the Mediterranean, we prefent the fol- lowing list; which the sophisftry of our enemies can no more refute, than their gasconades can re- vessels. shIPS of the LINE. , 3. le Commerce de Marseille le Pompee —' Le puisilant — BURNT, 16. wich by two of his Majesty's messengers, to Newgate, to remain until his sentence of trans, portation for a libel can be carried into effect. Thursday died, at his lodgings in St. James's- street, Edward Gibbon, Esq. author of the ce- lebrated history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire, See.— Mr. Gibbon was in his 5$ th year. He had come several months ago on a visit to England, and purposed again returning in the spring, to his charming house at Lausanne. He had lately undergone the palliative operation for the hydrocele, but the cause of his death was a gouty spasm in the stomach. His sufferings were short, for he enjoyed his usual flow of spi- rits, and conversed with as much gaiety as he writes, the night before his death. On Friday died at his seat at Luxborough, Sir Edward Hughes, K. B. Admiral of the Blue Squadron of his Majesty's fleet. He had ferved in the navy for more than half a century ; he was at the taking of Porto Bello under Admiral Ver- non, and was made a Lieutenant for his services there ; he ferved as Captain under Admiral Bos- cawen at the taking of Louisburg, and with Sir Charles Saunders at the taking of Quebeck. As an Admiral he commanded in chief in the Eaft- lndies, and supported the honour of his country in feveral a£ tions with an active enemy. WHITEHAVEN, Jan. 74. Two perfons in the neighbourhood of Penrith, lately entered into an agreement respecting a tenement of land, for the term of 999 years: the lease was. drawn, and ready for executing, when an objection was started. The owner insisted, that three years before the expiration of that term, the land should lie green side up This, the tenant positively refused to comply with — and the agreement was declared null and void! Bristol, Jan. 18. On Tuefday night laft, be- tween the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out at the feat of Richard Aubrey, Esq. of Clehouger, about " three miles from Hereford, which entirely deilroyed that handfome old mansion, with all the furniture, plate, See. and a valuable collection of family pictures. The most prompt and aCtive assistance was instantly given by the adjoinihg farmers and people of the village, and the fire engines were fent from Hereford upon the first alarm ; but the flames burst forth with fuch irresistible fury, that not one article of value could be saved, and the whole ftrufture was foon reduced to ashes. There were only a man arid woman ifi the house at the time, Mr. Aubrey being upon a visit at a neigh- bouring friend's, but intended sleeping at home that night, and had given orders for a fire in his bed- chamber, which was lighted about ten o'clock; and the woman going up stairs foon after, to see if all wereS fafe, upon opening the chamber- door, the smoke burst out with fuch vio- lence as to extinguish the candle she held in her hand; and it was with difficulty ( he could get down stairs to communicate the alarm.

Mr. NEWNHAM, a capital /" C'her and timber- merchant, of West- hill, Ardingly, in Sussex, was con- fined to his houfe, and rendered incapable of bulirjefs, by a virulent Scorbutic Eruption breaking c( ut in various parts of his body ; one of his legs was fwelled to double it's ordinary liie, and his lungs were fo affefled, that refpiration was difficult and painful'to a molt alarniing degree. In this fituation, Mr. N. applied « > a Gentle- man of the facqlty, w. hofe f| cill is we'd known, and after continuing under his care near twelve months without receiving any benefit, he refolved, with the approbation of hismedical friend, to try theeft'etts of SPILSBURY's ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS ; in taking only one bottle, he found great relief in his breathing, & c. and by con- tinuing them a few months, his complaints were entirely removed, and his health perfectly reftored. From a principle of benevolence towards his fellow- fufiferers, as well a* justice to the proprietor of the. medicine, he thinks it his duty to communicate this cafe to the public — for the authenticity of which, a further application may be. made to Mr. William Lee, printer,- Lewes, where the Drops may be had genuine ; and at . the Pro- propi'ietor'S, D. SPILSBURY, Soho- square, London, in bottles of xi. 2S• and 5s; each ; as alfo of the Printers of this Paper, W. Birdsall, and W. Marshall and Son, Northampton; and likewise of the Newsmen.

Burnham, Northampton; and by all other Bookfellers and Nevvfearriers in Great- Britain and lieland. Addrefs to the Public. The well known Superiority ot Matthew Henry's Ex- pofition on the Holy Scriptures, above all other Com- mentators, has beenjuftly admitted for many Years; indeed the major Part of the Notes that have been pub- lifhed on the Bible, have been extrafted from the Works of that laborious Author, the Bulk of whofe Produftion was fuch, as to exclude many pious Chriftians from the Purchafe of it : It being only to be had altogether, in Five Large Folio Volumes. At the earneft Solicitation of many Chriftian Friends ( to enable Perfons of all Ranks to become Subfcribers,) the Proprietors of the prefent Edition have been pre- vailed on to Pubiifh it in Weekly Numbers, and to Print it in fuch a Manner as to comprize the Whole five Volumes in only three, exclufive of which great Saving to the Public, they will Embellifli it with upwards ot 100 Elegant Engravings, thereby rendering it the cheapeft and moft elegant Edition of Matthew Henry's Exposition on the Old and New Testament ever published. To prevent any Possibility of Interruption in the Pub- lication, or Variation in Uniformity, a very large Quan- tity of Paper has been purchafed, and feveral Numbers printed before Hand, therefore the Public may depend on the ftrifteft Punctuality, and th2 Proprietors doubt not, but that their Reward will be adequate to their immenfe Labour and Expence. Indeed the uncommon Succefs and Approbation which their other Works have met with, leave not the leaft Reafon to Doubt but they fliall have equal . Encouragement in this, where their Labours are bellowed in propagating the Word ot God ; difplaying the Divine Light of the Gofpel in the cleareft Manner, and pointing oat the certain Road to Happinefs for every pious Chriftian. A Lift of the Subfcribers will be given gratis with the laft Number. To enable our Readers to form a proper Judgment of this Work, the firft Number may he perufed, and the Money returned if not approved of. N. B. The Portrait of the Author being executed in fuch a Manner as to be worthy a Place in the Colleftion of the firft Connoiffeurs, a few Proof lmpreffions will be printed on French Paper, Price zs. 6d, each. The firft Thirty Numbers of this excellent Work being already publifhed, thofe Perfons who wifh to Purchafe more than one Number per Week, may be accommo- dated with two, three, or more Numbers, as may fuit their Convenience. We would have given a Lift of the beautiful Copper- Plates with which this Work will be embelliflied, but to defcribe them, in fuch. a Manner as to give the Reader a proper Idea of their Excellence, would far exceed the Limits of an Advei tifement, and as the firft 30 N umbers are already Publifhed, we offer them as a Specimen of the future, affuiing the Public, that not the leaft De- viation in Excellence fhail be found between the firft and laft Numbers.

Containing an Impartial Regifter ; recording, with the utraoft Accuracy, the Proceedings and Debates, of the Houfes of LORDS and COMMONS. Forming a Source of Political Information highly intertfting to every Bririfh SubjeiS. The Senator will be particularly interefting. not only to thofe who have not an Opportunity of perufing the Daily Papers, but to thofe who conftantly read them ; as it. will prefent a more copious and accurate Detail of the Debates, than can poffibly be given in the Daily Prints, which are limited both to Time and Compafs. It will efpoufe no Party, sive no decided Preference, or throw o- Jt any Infiruation that can tend to mifreprefent, pervert, or exaggerate the Difcufiion ofany Subjeft. From the great Attention that has been paid in . de- tailing the Reports of the former Seffions, and the fame Reporters being engaged this Seffion as in the Three former, the Proprietor doubts not but that thefe Con- fiderations will fecure to him not only the Patronage of fortner Readers, but alfo recommend the Work to others, who may be defirous of perufing the Parliamen-. tary Debates ; particularly when it is taken into Con- fideration, that the Debates are publifhed nTL- ch more recent than in any other Work of the Kind ; that they are printed in a Manner infinitely fuperior; that an un- ufual Quantity of Letter- Prefs is given above any other Reports, and that, by uniting the important. Rcquifites of early Publication, Accuiaty, Elegance, & Che. ipnefs. it is prefumed this Wot k will continue to maintain a de- cided Preference. We think it neceflary to obferve, that not any of the Numbers of the Senator will contain lefs than Forty Pages. But when Matters of Importance occur, and long Debates enfue, wefhall not limit nurfelvis rothtfe Bounds, but give Eight additional Pages gratis: in Order to effedt the grand Defignoft. be Work, nanielv, to give a Detail of Parliamentary Ttanfiiftions as foon as poffible after their Occurrence. This being the only Work which contains the Proceed: ings of the Houfe of Lords, the Editor prefumes that this neceffapy Addition will add considerably to t! r- Val ue ot the Work, as no other Publication vvhatever c* intains thefe important Debates, and without which no W< can, with Propriety, be called, A Parliamen- tary Regifter, as the Houfe of Lords t'onftifutes fo ma- terial a Brand, of th* thiee Eftates of this Realm. This Work being fold- in Numbers, at only 6d. each, and printed is foon as the Editor can poffibiy commit his Reports to the Prefs, the Information is thereby pub- lished a Montli, and frequently Six Weeks, earliertlww in any ot!: er Parliamentary Reports; as they are obliged to fufpend their Publication till they can obtain Matter ( asthry conceive) adequate to the Price of is. which their Reports are fold at. 1 he Debates of the Firft, Second, and Third Seffion of the prefent Parliament, may be had complete, in 7 Vols.
