LONDON, February 'so. Upon that fubjedl which has excited fo much anxiety, and which has fo ftrongly agitated the public mind, wc have little additional information to com municate to our readers, The lifts of the new ad in ini ft rat ion handed about yt He rd ay and the day before arc not believed to be corrcfl. Thus much, how ever, is certain, that Mr, Ad dington is to fucceed Mr. Pitt in both his places as firfl Lord of the treafury and chance I 1 or vf the exchequer. It was Laid Lft night that the duke of Clar ence is to fucceed 1 xml Spencer, and the duke of Kent the mar quis of Cornwallis. It was faid alfo that Lord Hawke (bury is to fucceed Lord Grenville. The duke of Portland remains in of fice. Lord Macartney is to be at the head of the board of con trol ; but is not to fucceed Mr. Bundas in the office of war mi niflcr. Amongfl the arrange ments of inferior importance, arc the appointment of fir Wm, Grant, to the attorney-general fhip, and of Mr. Law 7 , not Mr. Perceval, to the folicitor-gcne rallhip. Mr. Role and Mr. Long retire from the Treafury, and Mr. Canning from the joint pay m after fii ip of the army. The refignation of the fpeak cr was cxpeflcd yc Herd ay to have taken place ; but it is faid, that'ftill happen this day, in or der that the new arrangement may not be delayed. Lord Flobart does not fucceed marquis Cornwallis as was firfl reported, nor is Mr. Pelham coming into office. Lord Caf tlereaoh is understood to have refigned his fituation. Accounts from Prague of the i6th ult. fay, that conferences arc fpccdily to be held at Bruf fels between the minifters pleni potentiary of Rufifia, Sweden, Denmark, Pruffia and France, relative to the convention be tween the four northern powers, and their refpeCbvc connections with England. It feems probable that a peace between France and Turkey and Naples will be concluded, un der the mediation of Ruffia— but there is additional reafon from this to conclude that his Sicilian majefly will be obliged to renounce his connexion with this country, and to fhut all his ports againft us. February 18. We received this morning by exprefs, Paris papers to the 15th inftant—They contain very im portant intelligence indeed \ at length wc arc enabled to lay before our readers the treaty of peace between France, Auflria, and the Germanic Empire, for which the Emperor anfwers.— The principal articles are : The cefTion of the Nether lands to France, and the coun try of Falkcnflein and the Brick hal. .

The Emperor ccnfcnts for 1 he German Empire, that France fFiail pcfTcfs all the coun tries on the left bank of the Rhine, which formed part of the German Empire. France gives up DufTeldoifT, Lhren bretftcin, Philiipftnngh, Colfei, Kchl, and Ola Bnlac. 1 he German prices who have been difpoftefled of territories on the left bank, arc to be indemnified on the right. 1 loliand, Swit zerland, Liguria, and the Cilal pin"*, are included in the treaty. The treaty is to be ratified in 30 Jays from the 9th Feb. Ail the infant republics are to be declared independent, and to be under the protection of the parent Hate. The fignarure of the treaty produced, as might be expect ed, the greatdl joy at Pans.— The funds role to 65. The confuls announced the impo:.» it news to the kgiflatiire, m a meffilge particularly fevere a gainfl this country. There is no other news of importance in the papers. It is now under flood that Mr. Shairp left St. Peterfburgh in confcquence of an intimation that his imperial majefly would not permit any perfon to refide in his dominions, who held any civil commiflion from the King o( Great-Britain and he there fore brings nothing aufpicious to peace from that quarter. February 21. On Tuefday, the right hono rable Henry Addington, took his feat on the treafury bench, in the houie of commons, as chancellor of the exchequer. February 23 His majefly was attacked with . a fevere fit of ficknefs the day before yefterday. Our Falmouth letter of this morning is important; it brings an account of four Spanifh fhips of the line having failed out of Ferrol to join the French fqua dron under Grantheaume ; how ever, we have the fatisfadlion to learn that Admiral Calder’s Iquadron is in full purfuit o t the enemy, who, it is not doubted, have gone up the Mediterra nean. Some letters Rate that the EngHh Iquadron v as left in fight of the French. February 26. It is faid that Mr. Pitt had a long audience cf the Prince of Wales, in confcquence of a rc quell tranfmitted to Carlton Houfe in the morning. The objecl of the vifit was to repre fent to the Prince his own pecu liar fituation, together with.that of the country, in confcquence of the King’s hidden and unex pected indifpofition, andtolub mit to his Royal Highncfs the mcafures he ccnfidered as neccf fary to be taken. It was true that he had tendered his refig nation to his Majefly ; that the refignation had been gracioufly accepted and publicly announc ed, and that he had only re mained in office for feveral days pafl, for the fpecific purpofe cf facilitating that part of the pub lic bufmefs which had come mofl immediately under his observa tion and department. The , conclufion, however, was, that 1 , ■nofvvitiiltcnding ali that had pafied, he was frill de facie in office, and he thought it his duty to hold his Ikuation until his Map fly’s recovery, or until Tome othrr dilpofitionof affairs. On the 19th inftant, Mr. Pitt opened the budget.—The Aim of interelt for which taxes were to be provided was no Ids than 1,785,000!. an enormous amount indeed ! ! Such are the new taxes, the produce of which is eltimated w II be 1,794,000). about 90001. more than cue lum wanted. March 4. His Majtfty, we are happy to fay, is better to-day than ne was yeDerday.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24. By a letter from a correfpon dent acNew-York, to the editor, received yefterday, the follow ing interefting advices. “ Capt. Woodman in a fhort paflage from Liverpool, brings accounts down to the nth of February. The BritiDi King’s fpcech, to what is called the Im perial Parliament is endofed, and the following changes have taken place.” Ike whole Bntijh Mitiifry is removed — Pitt, Dundee , * Gren ville > Spencer, Windham, (Ac. — Further particulars in my next. A lecond letter Dates, that Mr. Addington, fpeaker of the the Ilcule of Commons, had bee#appomtcd Chancellor of the Exchequer in the room of Pitt, and that the arrangements of the feveral offices were making a mong thole who have been the moft fled fad adherents of Pitt and Dunclas, in confequence of < the relufil of level al rtvnt icrr.en i of the oppofition any i ffiare in the adnunilbation. Among the who had keen applied to by the Court, were Mr. Fox, the Marquis of Lanfdown, the Duke of Bedford, Lari Mona, Sir John Sinclair, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Grey, Mr. Tierney, &c. The adhtrerrs of i! ? n , cieants who have been ven from office by their crime.- and the dread of public indie- -, tion, report the miniftry on the fubjecl oflrifh that the queflion cf CatholE Emancipation, was introduced in the Parliament, and brought 0 , a violent difeuflidn* in which the policy of Emancipation was dif puted in oppofition to the Jug tice. The Britifh and Scots part of the Houle were divided among thcmfclvcs on this point and that a majority cf the Cabi net being oppofed to the exten lion of religious toleration and t.hc right of fuffrage to the Info Catholics, an incurable rupture took place. This is the fubjeft of wha: may be called the minifterial runiour. But as we have net feen any of tire oppofition print:, and have barely heard thele ru mours on the wing of curio fr y, we may be allowed from our knowledge of men and politics in Great-Britain, to offer a few fpeculaticns of our own. A flight knowledge of the Englilh lyflem of policy and go vernment, will bring to every man’s recollection the well known truth, that in all her wars, peace has been negotiated by a new miniftry ; this truth lias become proverbial, and may be proven by a recurrence to the hiftory of every treaty of peace fincc the election cf the Dutch King of that country, in 1688. The reflgnation of thefe mif creants who have deluged Eu rope in blood for the gratifica tion 01 their rapacity and luft cf power, mult be confidered in a light much more ferious, (tho* tliai would be fufliGiently impor tant in a different conjecture) than the quefdon whether free dom lhall be extended to the re maining unmafTacred Catholics of Ireland. We miift look to more fo lemn and awful admonitions for a iolution of this change—and 1 , # o t thele will he found in the juft, apprehenflon cf confequcnces thatmuft arife from a multitude of impending and adually oper ating dangers. 1. reace made with Auftfia leaves France to combat fing ly againft the author of all her evils, afflictions and facrifices* 2.
