The conduit of Agrippina, widow of

The following Message was yesterday
brought down to the house of commons
by Mr. Pitt.
Gsoxc* Rsx.
His Majesty thinks proper to acquait
the House of Commons, that the com

are lli!! depending between his Majesty
ind some of the Powers*! the Continent,
have not yet been brought to such a
point as to enable Ills Majesty to lay
the result of them before the House, or
to enter into any farther explanations
with the French Government, cofiitently
with the sentiments expreifed by his Ma
j sty at the opening of the present session.
But hi uwjefty conceives that it in iy be
of cflential importance, that he should
have it in his power to avail himfeif of
any favourable coujuntfture for giving
effect to such as coneernjwith othe- powers 1
a* may afford the bi ft means of rending |
the inerdin .te ambition of France, and 1
may be moft likely to lead to a termina- i
tion of the present cor.teft, on grounds
c.infiltcnt with the permanent fafetv
and intercfts of Hi* Majesty’s Dominions i
ami ihe Security and independence of
Europe- His mrjefty therefore recom- ■
mends it to -the house of commons to i
confider of making provision for ena
bling his majcity to take lucb measures
and enter into fuel) engagements as the
exigencies of affairs may require.

In confcjuenceofaconverfation, which
took place Oefore the debate of the House
of Comrnois, it was understood that Mr.
Trotter is to be brought forward as a
witness again ft Lord Melville, in the
criminal pofecution to ke instituted by
the attorney general.
A debate took place on Friday even
i.ig, in the Houle of Commons, on the
fuijeft of the King’s message. Mr. Fcx
and Mr. Pitt took nearly the fame
ground as in the debate of the preceding
evening : the former arguing in favor
of peace on reafjaable terms, and the ap
pointment of a congress for that purpose ;
while the latter generally dated, that the
principle of a joint peace or joint war
formed the basts of our present negocia
tion# with the present powers of the con
tinent. From the whole of the minister’s
language, it seems evident that the nego
ciations alluded to lave for their objedt
the interring poweriin a common cause,
beiidei Russia and Sveden. A vote of
credit, to the extent of 3,500,0001. was
propoled ia the committee of supply, and
agreed to, after Come observations from
the leading memhers of the opposition-
This sum fall* short, by one million and
1 half, of that portion at lad loan, which
it was profeffed, at the time, was meant
to be applied to secure a great continen
tal co-operati*n. It is not to be suppo
sed, that any|perfon out of the circle of
the cabinet cln be acquainted with the
circumitancefwhicb have led to the con
tra&ian of tie supply originally appro
priated to ftcure that important object—
but, we truS, it may be such as it has
been declare! by the chancellor of the
exchequer. The advanced period of the
year, line- tic vote of the 5,00,000 b is
now held forth at the oftenlible cause for
narrowing the supply appropriated for
continential purposes. This may be the
fact; but it is much feared that a differ
ent interpretation may be given to the
circurnftance hy tbofe powers who are
either envious or suspicious es us; and
that an inference, tnfovourable to the ex
istence of a confeieracy for the restora
tion of the independence of Europe, will
be drawn from thf vote.

The Gottenburgh mail, which arrived

Lower Elbe, of the Bth i.iftant, menti
ons a report very prevalent to that quar
ter, that Austria is preparing to take a
very adtivc part in the affairs of the con
tinent, and that the archduke Charles and
general Mace are already appointed to
very important command* ia the armies.
Admiral Cornwallis refumes the com
niand of the Channel Fieet immediately.
The Ville de Paris is expected daily at

Private letters by the lait packet men

Earl Spencer is at the head of the admi

We cannot but view such a change as gi

By the faft failing ship Hercules, capt.
Bradford, arrived on Saturday eveuing
from Liverpool, we have received files of
English papers to the 27th June, and ex
tra As from Lloyd’s lifts to the 18th.—
The contents of our papers are by no
means interesting. We however (hall
continue to ext raft from them such arti
cles as appear in any manner illuftratire
of the present situation or future prof
pefts of Europe. Oor correfponcfcnt in
London, under date of July 24th, fur
nilhes us with the following brief furma
ry of English politics :
“ There is an uafor'unate mifunder
ftnnding between the fiiends of Mr Pitt
and Lord Sidmouth. Without being in
formed of the particulars of ths misun
derstanding, we have reafen :o think
that the difference between th;m arises
from two points—The friends of Mr.
Pitt are for lenient proceedings again!!
Lord Melville, and with that intent have
inflrufted the attorney geseral to throw
in queflions and obstacles before the
house previous to his lordship’s trial for
a criminal prosecution—while the friends
f the opposite party we-e for impeach
ment and a speedy punishment. The
friends of Lord Sidmouth complain of
the severity with which Lord St. Vincent
has been censured since he was firft Lord
of the admiralty, only because he refor
med many abuses, and prevented much
v afte connived at by the officers in all
the King's yards at Plymouth, Ports
mouth. &c. and worked a complete re
form on them—and contend lie was the
bed firft Lord of the admiralty the board,
ever had, and that since his time the na
val department has been, and is badly
managed. The frici.cb of Mr. Pitt
contend that the affairs of the country
have been in a reiroga .'e situation ever
since the peace of Amiens 1801 —and
that that weak and blameablc treaty laid
the foundation of all Bonaparte's dtfigns
for the subjugation of England. The
friends of Lord Sidmouth go ou com
plaining (favoured by circiimflar.ces late
ly) that neither the army or military
force of the countryis no/ lb numerous to
meet the theatre ot invasion, nor the
number ot ships at sea so formidable a
gainlt the toe now as during his adinini
ftratien. The debates of it ft night,
which i (hall lend you herewith, will
ihow how tiicfe charge* are fupporud by
coiflpurrifen and calculation, and the vtal
temper erthe parties, and the coqciufioii;
but Pitt is a match for them all. Some
thin s it is reported this schism is such,
that finding it dfffibult to aft, Mr. Pitt
will advise his majesty to diffjlve tne
parliament, or else that lie wVI try to
get rid of Lord Sidmouth and his party,
and endeavor to form a coalition on a
large fcafe, which fha!’ include the lead
ing men in onpofiiion—MuTrs. Fox,
