In fpitc jf any language which the honorable gentleman tiitjjKT Think it ufeful fur his purpose to indulge himfelf in, he felt no helitation to declare, iu a manner the moll open and unmalT<ed, that when the guarantee of a loan was the motl likely means to annoy the enemy, and obtain the objedl of the war, he should ever be ready both to advise and avow the measure ; and it was with great fa tisfadioß that lie had become more and more (jonvinced, iince th* former de bate, that those arrangements had real ly been tri ide in consequence of that p, jpofiti®!!, that were likely to meet out moll sanguine expcftationi of re turn. Mr. Fox coold not, like li>* honora ble friend, (Mr. Sheridan) difhclieve any report of the intention of minift«rj, on account of its laftinefs or absurdity, afte- he had had the example of the Piuffian subsidy ; and when he recol lected that an obilinate perfeterance in Mror was one of thei moH prominent features, the report of an Imperial loan prns-cfilSflMncd" teeyund~the possibility of dmibt.

He oLjciled to the legotiation as it opened a door to un due influence on members of that house fho mijflit be paities to the loan, and :hereby (ntereked in carrying on the A-ar, 10 which the loan was to he ap plied. Mr. Pit: said, that he proposed to ■nuke the guarantee a feparatc conlider ntion from the Budget, and that Wed iclday, the firft of this month, w*s the Say on which he would bring it forward. Htwas bound to enter into the ne gotiation, as it enabled him to afcer ain what auxiliaiy force this country ould look to from the co-operation of he emperor, which was a very material article for him to submit to them,'when he (ervices of the approaching cam paign were coulidered.

If the war were continued, no one was more for its being a vigorous continuation ] than himfelf; and one cause of his ob jedlion to it was, that it would not b condudU-d with vigor. If the Imperial I.oan should even be admitted right, as attaching the Emperor to the prof'ecution of the war, yet another queflion would arise, Whether we should acl separately or conjoined ! He mud ever deprecate that system of concert and mutual dependant which had so raifirably failed in the two former campaigns, kvery power, in his opinion, should atfl fiparately againil the common enemy in a g.ven point, with no rel ance on the co-operation of aHy other power, but the diversion which their hos tility would occasion. He warned Ministers to look with a serious and anxious concern to the increase of our Naval on the unrivalled superiority of which alone we could de pend for'fafety. Not a crt-vice should be vacant in the land where a ship could be built, nor one man employed 011 any other frrvice, till every vefi'el in our fleet was manned. Every other objedl, in compa rison to the Navy, funk into mfignifi cam r. The unaifputed pre-eminence of which should be our prime concern and only reliance. Mr. Martin and Mr. M.

The last difparches brought by couriers from Italy and the Rhine, are deemed so inaufpiciousas to put the court in very bid humour ; the consequence of which hos been, that all the preparations making for celebrating the feftivat of St. Andrew have been suspended, a3 also the intend ed promotions in the military orders. The "rench having greatly augmented the force which they had in Nice, and their Generals speak of eftablilhing their winter qiftrters in Lombardy. The Archduke Ferdinand is making preparations to op pofethein ; but he has not any force which could be thought adequate to the object. Our troops have already loft the important ports #f Pomparatu and Rabulenta. A great alarm is likewise by the French navy, as the squadron which was 1 blocked in the Gulph of Jnan has joined j that from Toulon, the Englilh fleet coati nues in the Ports of Cerfica.
