At a court of common council, Mr. Birch moved, That an addrefs be prefented to his majefty, to thank him for the meafures he has graciously thought proper to communicate to both houfes of parliament, on the recent manifefto of the court of Madrid, declaratory of war a gainst Great Britain, and to affure his majelty of the fteady and firm determination of this court to fupport the moft vigorous measures to repel any hoftilities that may be made against his majefty's crown, and the profperity of thefe kingdoms.

The motion was feconded by Mr. deputy Leekey, and agreed to. A committee was appointed to draw up the addrefs, which being done, was read, agreed to, and ordered to be prefented by the whole corporation, &c.

Mr. Dixon informed the court, he in. tended, at the next court, to bring forward the following motion, viz. That it is the opinion of this court, that the pecuniary ad recently furnished by his majety's minitters to the emperor, has been productive of great advantage to Great Britain, and enabled the emperor, not only to withstand the defperate attempts of the French armies to overrun Germany, but also has given a decided and favourable turn to the war, and opened a fairer profpect of obtaining an honourable peace to this country and her allies.'

Yesterday Mr. East, one of his majef ty's meffengers, arrived with dispatches from Peterburgh. Thefe contain an account of the death of the emprefs of Ruffia on the 17th ultimo. Her majefty was feized with a fit of apoplexy at 10 o'clock on the night of the 15th of last month, and from that moment to the time of her deceafe, he was quite infenfible. Her feet had fwollen very much previous to the attack, for which she had taken me

pains in her bowels, and had retired into an inner apartment. Being miffed, her attendants fearched after her, and on open, ing the door of the clofet, they found her majefty lying fenfelefs on the ground, with her feet toward the door.

The first act of the emperor's government was to nominate the vice chancellor

Ofterman, chancellor of the empire, and to countermand the orders which had been given by an edict of the 13th of September, to levy recruits throughout the empire.

The late emprefs was born on the 2d of May 1729, and commenced her reign on the 9th of July 1762. She was married to her late husband (whofe unhappy fate is fo well known) while duke of Holftein Gottorp, in 1745. By him the had the prefent emperor, her fucceffor, formerly known as the great duke of Ruffia. He was born in 1754, and has been twice. married. By his prefent wife, the princefs of Wirtemberg, now emprefs, he has had two fons, Alexander and Conftan tine, and a daughter, Alexandria Pawleona.

St. Petersburgh, Nov. 18. Laft night her Imperial majesty, who had been feized with an apoplectic fit on the preceding day, expired at a quarter before ten o'clock.

Immediately after her Imperial majefty's decease, the emperor Paul was proclaimed before the palace in the ufual form, and the whole court, which was there affembled in anxious expectation from the moment of the emprefs' accident to the moment of her death, immediately took the oath of allegiance to the new fovereign, as did the four regiments of guards; and every thing paffed with the greateft order and tranquillity.- London Gazette.

Yesterday lieutenant Columbine, of the Refolution cutter, arrived at the admiralty, with dispatches from admiral fir John Jervis, commander in chief of his majefty's fleet in the Mediterranean. They contain an official account of the evacuation of Corfica by our troops, and of his having been joined by the fquadron under the command of rear admiral Mann, DECEMBER 24.

Vefterday a general court was held at the India houfe, for the purpofe of taking a ballot upon the following queftion, viz.

That this court agree with the court of directors in opinion, to extend from four years after the definitive treaty of peace, to the end of the charter, the payment of the intereft into the Bank on the two millions voted on loan to government en the 2d inft. or until fuch periods as the principal may be repaid, the fame to be repaid during the prefent war from the general funds; but at any future period in the poffible event of the funds of the company being unequal to the payment of fuch intereft after the dividends on the company's fock, and the other charges which precode the participation of the public, then the intereft to become a charge on government: it being understood, that at the expiration of the company's prefent charter, the territorial poffeflions in India (hall become a pledge of guarantee to the proprietors of Eaft India ftock, to the extent of eight millions of capital stock, and at the rate of two hundred per cent. and this without prejudice to the claims of the Company.

IT is with the utmost concern, that his majelty acquaints the houfe of peers, that his earnett endeavours to effect the restoration of peace, have been unhappily fiuftrated; and that the negociation in which he was engaged has been abruptly broken off, by the peremptory refufal of the French government to treat, except upon a bafis evidently inadmiffible; and by their having, in confequence, required his majefty's plenipotentiary to quit Paris within forty-eight hours.

His majetty has directed the feveral memorals and papers, which have been exchanged in the courfe of the late difcuffion, and the account tranfmitted to his majetty of its final refult, to be laid before the houfe.

From thefe papers his majelly trufts it will be proved, to the whole world, that his conduct has been guided by a fincere defire to effect the restoration of peace; on principles fuited to the relative fituation of the belligerent powers, and effential for the permanent interefts of his kingdoms, and the general fecurity of Europe: while his enemies have advanced pretenfions, at once inconfiftent with thofe objects, unfupported even on the grounds on which they were profefied to rett, and repugnant both to the fyftem eftablished by repeated treaties, and to the principles and practice, which have hitherto regulated the intercourfe of independent nations.

In this Gtuation his majefty has the confolation of reflecting, that the continuance of the calamities of war can be imputed only to the unjust and exorbitant views of his enemies: and his majetty, looking forward with anxiety to the moment when they may be difpoled to act on different principles, places in the mean time the fullest reliance, under the protection of Providence, on the wifdom and firmness of his parliament; on the tried valour of his forces, by fea and land; and on the zeal, public fpirit, and refources of his kingdoms; for vigorous and effectual fupport in the profecution of a contest, which it does not depend on his majefty to terminate; and which involves in it the fe
