man, much less a professional man, could imagine that a declaration of a minister in parliament, that fifty ships of the line could be ready for sea in a month, simply meant rigged and fitted out," but without "men" Into what a false hope of security must the nation be lulled by such a declaration, and into what a state of despair must it be driven, when the threatening approach of the enemy to our shores should call forth an explanation, as you have ascribed to Mr. Addington, on this momentous and important subject?-Let it be supposed, the French could effect a landing and preserve a footing even but for a short time, in the vicinity of our naval arsenals, and were there to find fifty sail of the line, fully " rigged and fitted out, and of course without men, for with men the enemy never could have approached them; the consequence would be, that these fifty ships of the line would instantly be sent to the ports of France, from the very circumstance of their being equipped for sea; while the other ships which should be found in a state of ordinary, or unequipped, would, if not destroyed, be suffered to remain in our hands. Of the two, it would be far better that our whole marine should be destroyed, than that we should furnish the enemy with the means of our own subjugation.

PUBLIC PAPERS.

Letter from Licut. Gen. Mortier, commanding in chief the French army, in the Electorate of Hanover, to the French Minister at War.-Dated Head Quarters, Niewburg, June 4, 1803.

CITIZEN MINISTER,-I had the honour to inform you, by my letter of the 28th ult. of the march of the French army towards Hanover. After a march excessively fatiguing across arid sands and marshy heaths, I took a position on the 31st before Wechte. I was assured that the enemy guarded the line of the Hunte. Gen. Hammerstein, commanding the advanced guard of the King of England, occupied Diepholtz with the second and sixth regiments of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and a division of artillery. I made my dispositions to dislodge him on the following morning. The second division commanded by Gen. Schiner, that of cavalry under the orders of Gen. Nansouty, received orders to march to Goldenstedt, to force the passage of the Hunte, and then march to Suhlingen, that they might cut off every thing they might find between that pace and Diepholtz, which the division of Gen. Montrichard had orders briskly to attack. The enemy seeing that by this movement he was turned on his right, retired during the night to Bersten-On the 1st inst. the advanced guard, commanded by Gen. Drouet, had a warm skirmish before Bauver, with the rear-guard of the enemy. On the 2d the army united before Suhlingen; the advanced guard moved towards Bersten; it here fell in with the enemy, and notwithstanding the superiority of numbers, and the extreme fatigue of the troops, who had that day marched twelve leagues, Gen. Drouet gave the order to

attack. The enemy kept up a warm cannonade. Some squadrons of the second regiment of hussars charged with valour the light dragoons of the 9th regiment. They broke the line of that corps, who fled, and we took several prisoners.I was informed by my spies, that the head of the bridge of Niewbourg was repaired, and that the enemy had collected all his artillery on the right bank of the Weser. I saw how important it was for me to precipitate my movement. I marched my reserve artillery, and I made all my dispositions to push and beat every thing before me in the Weser, to force the head of the bridge of Niewbourg, or to pass behind Siclzanu, and intercept by that means the communication with the capital-The troops were in march when the Civil and Military Deputies of the Regency of Hanover presented themselves before my advanced posts: they invited me to suspend my march, and announced to me that they were ready to make advantageous propositions-My answer was in the negative; they returned to make me new pro. postions; I informed them I would listen to none, unless I had the certainty of immediately occupying the country of Hanover, and particu larly all the strong places belonging to it. After a long discussion, they signed a convention, which I accepted under the condition that it should be ratified by the respective governments. You will sce that the army of the King of England are prisoners of war, that I am master of the whole country, and particularly of the mouths of the Elbe and the Weser.-I have given orders to seize all the vessels which are on those rivers. The Duke of Cambridge, the son of the King of England, and Governor of Hanover, judged it proper to give in his resignation before the battle, and to make his retreat in haste. He had, however, promised to die with the levy en masse; it is probable, that he will be embarked before we arrive at the mouth of the Elbe-We found at Niewbourg 14,000 new muskets, and a good deal of artillery. According to the accounts rendered to me, I presume that I shall find in the maga-· zines and places of Hanover about 100,000 muskets, and more than 100 pieces of artillery.-I shall be the day after to-morrow in the City of Hanover, the continental capital of the King of England. I have found a considerable number of houses for remounting the cavalry, and furnishing the artillery. Much praise is due to the care and zeal of Gen. Dulauly.-I have the honour to salute you. EDWARD MORTIER.

Convention signed between Messrs. the Civil and Military Deputies of the Regency of Hanover and Lieutenant-General Mortier, Commander in Chief of the French Army.

Art. 1. Hanover shall be occupied by the French army, as well as the forts dependent on it. 2. The Hanoverian troops shall retire behind the Elbe; they shall engage on their parole of honour not to commit any hostilities, or to bear arms against the French army or its allies, so long as the war shall continue between France and England. They shall not be released from this oath until after they have been exchanged against an equal number of French generals, officers, subalterns, soldiers, or sailors, who may happen to be at the disposal of England -3. No individual of the Hanoverian troops shall quit the place assigned him, without information being given to the general commander in chief.-4. The Hanoverian army shall retire with the honours of war; the regiments shall take with them their field pieces. 5. The artillery, powder, arms, and ammunition of every description, shall be placed at

the disposal of the French army.-6. All the effects whatsoever belonging to the King of England, shall be placed at the disposal of the French aimy.-7. All public monies shall be sequestrated, but that of the university shall be appropriated to its original object.-8. Every English soldier, or agent whatsoever, in the pay of England, shall be arrested by order of the general commander in chief, and sent into France.-9 The general commander in chief reserves to himself the power of making in the government, and authorities constituted by the Elector, such changes as he shall think proper.-10. All the French cavalry shall be remounted at the expense of Hanover; the electora e shall also provide for the pay, clothing, and food of the French army.-11. The worship of the different religions shall be maintained on the present footing.-12. All persons, and all the property and tamilies of Hanoverian officers, shall be under the safeguard of French honour.-13. All the revenues of the country, as well as the electoral domains, and the public contributions, shall be at the disposal of the French government. The engagements already made shall be respected.-14. The present government of the electorate shall abstain from exercising any species. of authority throughout the country occupied by the French troops.-15. The general commander in chief shall levy on the electorate of Hanover such contribution as he shall think necessary for the wants of the army-16 Every article on which doubts shall arise, shall be interpreted favourably to the inhabitants of the electorate.— 17. The prece ing articles shall not prejudice the stipulations which may be agreed upon in favour of the electorate, between the First Consul and any Mediating Power.

FOREIGN OFFICIAL PAPERS. Orders issued at Hanover, addressed to the Magistrates, c. &c. on the 31st of May, 1823.

As we understand that many of the Magistrates and Public Officers of the country wish to receive directions in what manner to conduct themselves, should French troops advance near the frontiers of this territory, we recommend to them in general-1. That they regulate especially their whole conduct on the principle of the strictest neutrality, which it belongs to this territory to maintain, as entirely independent of the Crown of Great Britain and Ireland, and a completely separate possession, according to the constitution of the Empire, and the guarantee of the treaty of Luneville-2. That they readily furnish whatever may be required of them; as it is hoped only on the frontiers, and-3. That they on no account desert their offices and posts, but remain in them, and faithfully fulfill their duty.

Circular Letter from the First Consul of France to the Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops of that country.— Dated 7th June, 1803.

Sir, The motives of the present war are known to all Europe. The bad faith of the King of England, who has violated the sanctity of treaties,

in refusing to restore Malta to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, who has attacked our merchant ships without any previous declaration of war, the necessity of a just defence, every thing obliges u to resort to arms. I, therefore, write you this letter to tell you, that I wish you to offer up prayers to obtain the blessing of Heaven upon our enterprises. The proofs I have received of your zeal for the service of the state, assure me that you will conform with pleasure to my in entions. BUONAPARTE.

He said, that, in consistency with the assurauces, which the House had given his Majesty, of support in the present contest, it now behoved them to make the efforts, which were absolutely necessary for that purpose. We are, said he, called on to summon all our fortitude, and to put forth all our force; but, to make these efforts, we must submit to great privations, and unusual inconveniencies; to make even great and extensive sacrifices. We had an enemy to contend with that had calculated the means as well as the circumstances of our exertions, and had built hopes of overcoming us by the length of a contest. It was therefore necessary for us to be prepared, not only for a vigorous, but for a protracted contest. This was a system which was not less consistent with the calculation of the coldest prudence, than due to the fortitude and wisdom of a great and powerful people. It was upon opinions such as these, and with reference to such a system as that to which he had adverted, that he felt it his duty to propose a plan which he was now about to submit to the Committee; and having stated generally the principle upon which the plan was founded, he should enter upon the particulars, first with a reference to supplies voted, and those remaining to be voted; atter which he should state the Way and Means by which, (according to the best consideration and reflection he had been able to give) it was desirable the supply should he raised. The following were the heads.

Before Chri tmas 1 ventured to calculate upon this sum as the produce of the Consolidated Fund. That calculation was formed upon the esti mate and returns, as far as then ascertained, of the taxes laid in 1803, and it is fully justified by the accounts now upon the table. This, however, is not the proper time to enter into a discussion of the correctness of the estimate, because I do not now ask the Committee for a vote upon the subject. I merely submit the statement as part of the means for aising the resources of When it comes to be voted it may be inquired how far the amount is likely to accord with the estimate.

It is proposed to liquidate certain advances made by the Bank by an issue of Exchequer Bills, which, it is hoped, that the Bank, with that spirit of accommodation to the public service which they displayed last war, will from the same motive, be now inclined to accept.

If it should be the pleasure of the Committee to agree with me as to the propriety, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I consider these duties as applicable to war only, and I intend to propose that they should cease within a certain period, probably six months after the restoration of peace,
