In the Appeal " Tharkwell and others v. Jefferys and others," the Attorney-General and Mr. Fonblanque were heard on the part of the Crown. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, after a few obkrvations from Lords REnesnaLE and r LDON, the De cree of the Court of Chancery was ordered to he affirmed. Earl of AYLESFORD Rated, that his Majelty had been waited upon with the Addrels of that Houk, to which he had been pleated to returi. a molt gracious anfwer. The Earl of MOIRA prcfcnted a Petition from the Debtors confined in Lancafter Gaol, praying for relief. The Petition was ordered to lie on the Table. His Lordihip Paid a few words in a low tone of voice refpedling the other Petitions of this dekription, which we could not diftincftly hear. The LORD CHANCELLOR read a letter, which he bad re ceived from Major General Sir John Stuart, K. B. expreffivc of his high fenfe of the honour conferred upon him by the vote of thanks of that Houfe. The Houle refolved itfelf into a Committee on the Thames Po lice Bilt Lord ELDON objeded to a claufe in the Bill which declares it to be a mifdemeanour for Seamen to quit the %raids in which they have engaged to perform a voyage previous to the yards failing, and renders them liable for fuch mifdemcanor to one moth's imprifonment. His Lordfhip obferved that this had hi therto been merely a breach of a civil contrad, and he entertained confiderable doubt how far they ought to legillate in the way pro poled, particularly as in this claufe the feaman was to be liable to punilhment whether be was engaged under written articles or not, and thus he might be liable to punilhment for quitting his Chip on account of the captain refuting to fig,n articles, although it was only by means of thole articles that he could recover his wages. He writhed, therefore, the Bill to be poftponed, in order to give time for its due conlideration. On the motion of Lord ELDON, the Chairman left the Omar, and the Houfe having rcfumed, the Committee on the Bill was poll paned till this day fen night. The South Sea Bill and the Sugar Drawback. Bill paired through Committees, and were reported. Mr. MONTAGUE, from the office of the Chamberlain of the City of London, prefented certain Accounts directed to be laid before Parliament, which were ordered to lie on the table. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Houre proceeded to ballot for a Comm!ttee to determine the merits of the Londonderry Election, and after having ap pointed the Committee, was occupied a contiderable time in hear ing the Report of the Names of the Defaulters on the two lalt days of ballot. Strangers were not admitted till after the whole of the names were gone through, and the Committee (worn, fo that we had no means of colledting the names of the Gentlemen appointed on the Committee. Mr. JOHNSON, from the Office of Chief Secretary f.n. Ireland, prefented the Aaouttts from the Conuniffioners for the Redt,Clion of the Public Funded Debt in Ireland. Ordered to lie on the table. The Right Hon. HENS Y OsATTAIe, Colonel BAR IY, and Mr. DAwsoN, were added, on the motian of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQP ER, to the Committee of Finance. The Sugar Drawback Dill, the Brandy Duty Bill, and She frith Excite Taxes Bill, were read a third time and palled. The BDI for regulating the Importation of Tobacco Into Ireland was paffed through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Simple Contradi Debts Bill went through a Committee, and the Report ordered to be received on this day fc.'nuight. Mr. HERBERT (of hurry) laid that he fhould %polo the bill to a future Rage. The Siena Leone Company Bill was read a third time and paffed. Lord TEMPLE gave notice, that he would to-morrow move that the two Ads for regulating the Trade with New South Wales be referred to a Committee of the whole Houfe. lo addition to the witneffes on Mr. Paull's Petition, Barnes, Herbert, and F. Beatty were ordered to attend at the bar. On the motion of Lord HOWICK, Hotife went into a Com mittee for the purpofe of confitlering of the propriety of granting Bounties for the Prevention of an ii.icit Traffic in Slaves after the Commencement of the Operation of the Bill for the Abolition of the Slays Trade. The Committee refolved, that it was expedient that the fum of 401 per head for every male live taken on bran] a !hip illegally trading to the Britifh Colonies ; 301. fir every female and 101. for every child under fourteen years of age, fo taken, thould be granted to the captors. Proportionee turns were vt,ted for thole to be found illegally offered to fele ; and rewards were voted to thole who may otherwife prevent the continuance of the traffic. The. Houle refumed, and ordered the Report to be received to morrow. MUTINY BILL. Lord FIOWICK hated that he had given notice of his intention of propoting, this day, in the Com mittee on the Mutiny Bill, two claufes, the one al. lowing perfons profetling, the Roman Catholic religion to hold Cononiffions in the Army, and the other tolerating the practice of that faith among all &I diets of that uerfualion. On ferioufly reconfidering the lubjett, and feeling t.ithly its importance, he thought it would be much better, int - read of intro ducing fuch regulations in the Mutiny Bill, to bring in a feparate Bill for thole purpofes. For the intro duilion of this Bill he ihould move for leave to morrow. The Mutiny Bill was then committed pro firma, it received feveral amendments, WAS reported, and ordered to be recommitted on Monday. MR. WINDHAM. Sir J. H. COX role, purfuant to notict, to move for difeharging the Order made yellerday for taking Mr. Windham into cullody. He Bated, that the Right Hon. Gentleman had left town in order to il'e exercife of an important conftitutional framehife ; and after he had fo ciiitted London, he met with other urgent matte':, which required his immediate atten tion. indeed Mr. W. had communicated his indif penfable Abfolte to the Noble Lord (Howick) ; but that Nol.le Lltd teemed to have entitely furg , tten that circurnitance. He then moved, that the Ot der be dila:4r ged. After a few words from Mr. CANNING, and Slr J. H. COX, in explana• ion, and Mr. WHITBREAD 4 ,ainft the rtintir.n, the que Ilion was put, when it plied in the negative without a divition.

In the Cong.liztee, the Chan ctllor of the Exciaequer obfetve.2, that he thauLh: it proper only fhortly to recapitulate what he had be• fore Paid, on the fubjeft of the Finances. The Noble Lord Rated, that there was Game variation of his former flatement, owing, to the excels of extraor dinaries for !Soo, which, as the accounts had not been made up at that time, he had not then the means of calculating upon. As there was nn reafonable hopes of a reduaion, this excels, amounting to 793,710!. he would add to the Extraordinaries of the prefent year. Though this charge, however, was fo much greater than he had calculated, llill the Ways and Means were competent to meet it. his Lordfhip then if aced the Supplies and the Ways and Means, as fellows : SUtPLIES, 1807.

The intereft on every too' • . was 41. 145. 7d. The terms, therefore, were uncommonly advantageous for the Country. The intereft of the Loan for the laft year, which had been re.koned highly advantageous, was, as the Houle would recoiled, 41. 195. 7d. on the tool. ; there was, therefore, on the Loan of the prefent year, a difference in favour of the public of 55. per cent. His Lordfhip briefly con p ,red the amount of the Supplies, exclufive of Extraordinarie?, Siibfidies, &c. and of Ways and Means, exclufive of the annual taxes, the refult of wh'cli comparifon was, that there re. mained a confiderable furplus of Ways and Means. Fro; the whole, he concluded that he was fully war ranted in the criterion of 32 millions as the permanent war expenditure, which he had taken as the founda- tion of the plan which It! had on a former occafion detailed to the Houle. He then moved that the fum of 14,z00,0001. be raifed by annuities for the fervice 9f England and Ireland for the year 1807. Mr. ROSE contended that there was a fallacy in the Noble Lord's criterion of expenditure, as taking the Loan and Vote of Credit together there would be borrowed fifteen millions inflead of twelve millions odd, which latterfum was that which the Noble Lord had calculated upon. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to the Houfe, whether he had not, in bring ing forward his plan, pofitively and dillinely that the war expenditure of 3z,000,0001. was the fum mentioned, with the exprels exception of tubfidies, and the price of llores and other articles which might neceffirily be fuppofed to rife in value during the continuance of the war. Mr. ROSE Paid, that fincethe Noble Lord brought forward his plan of Finance, a fubfidy had been granted by his Ma jefiy's Minilter abroad of 80,0001. and in conftquencey the Noble Lord had come to the Houle with a demand of 3,000,0001. This he com• plained of as a miliake of 3,000,0001. not at all ac counted for but by the fublidy to Italia, and that of 80,0001. to Pruffia. He knew at the time it would be fo, and he begged the Houle to recoiled that he had advifei the Noble Lord net to confine his expen diture to 32,000,0001. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid, the ilatement he had made was 32,000,0001. exclufive of fubfidies, and articles riling in their value ; and if he had come down fur 3,000,0001. in. liead of 80,0001. fill that would make no difference as to the plan of Finance. With regard to principles, he had aded aridly according to the plan ; and not withflanding the Extraordinaries, which he had fated to the amount of upwards of 700,0001. he would Rill be enabled to bring the adual expenditure within 38,500,0031. Mr. ROSE fail, the increafe of 3,000,0001. was not accounted for in any other way than by the Sub tidy of 80,0001. exceeding the price of extraordinary articles. When the Noble Lord Hived the Ways and Means, he mentioned that t z,000,0001. would be wanted as a Loan. It appeared now to be 15,000,0001. and whenever the matter came to be difcuffed, it would appear that the loan would amount-to that fum. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER infilled it would not. Mr. FELLOWES Lid, that as a plain country gentleman he would hate what he tecolle4ted on the fuhje& He underitood the Noble Lord to fay the Loan would be ta,ooo,cool. exclufive of SubfidieF.

I u arm: (*aid, 32,000,0001. he was convinced would not be fufficient to meet the War Expenditure; but as he underllood a Bill was to be brought in by the Noble Dud for carrying his plan into execution, and many opportunities would be afforded of dilcuf. tin? in detail the various parts of the plan to which he had ohjeflions to make, he would reserve his ob. krvarions till Inch opportunities occurred. After a few obfervat ions from Mr.VANSITTART the Iterattions were read and agreed to, and the report was ordered to be received to•morraw. CATHOLIC SEMINARIES. The Report of the Committee of Supply of Mon day WAS then brought up.

THURSDAY, MARCH S. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Ceilidh for money, 6att— for April 641—Omni= a prem. Exchequer Bill a, par ss. dif. Yeflerday, after our Paper was at prefs, three Danifh Mails artived, bringing Hamburgh and Al tona papers to the z6th, and laft night we received Paris papers to the z4th and Dutch to the 29th ult. They bring, as might be expeCted, moft important intelligence, efpeciAlly the laft mentioned, which prefent abftrats of the 56th, 57th, and 53th Bulletins of the French army. They are drawn up evidently with a ftudied obliurity,but [Lill the leading falls they relate, though difguifed, are fo prominent that they can hardly Le trifonderftood. The battle on the 4th ult. was only a rrelude to a loin of bloody confliets, which did not terminate before the Bth, on which day there was a moft dread ful engagement, which, according to the French ac. counts, terminated in their favour. But they them (elves admitted, that the advantage: gained, were too dearly purchafed with the blood of fo many brave men. They Rate the Ruffians to have loft between the tit of February and the 9th, from ta,ooo to 35,00, pt ifoners, as many killed and wounded, 18 flandards and 45 rieces of cannon. Their own lofs they efti mate at 1,900 killed and 5,700 wounded : among the latter, Marthals AUCIERF AU and LASNES, Generals GARDANNE and LATOUR MAI:BOURG—among the former, CORBINEAU, one of NAP .LEON'S Aides-de- Camp, and Colonel POPPENNCIM, of the Bavarian Light-hot le. It is rather fingular that the French, drone; they boall of having taken fifteen thoufand prifoners, do not give the names of any of the Ruffian Officers killed or taken prifoner. This furnifhes a thong pre fumption againa the accuracy of their Ratements, and we have no doubt that the Ruffian accounts, when they arrive, will (hew that the French have gained no fAid advantage from thefe dreadful and fanguinary cnnilifts in which fuch an imtnenfe num. ber of human creatures have been dearoyed. The Bulletins tell us that the French army hat gone again into winter quarters. This is exaelly what they Rated after the battle of Pultufk.—Will the Ruffians allow them now, any more than they did then, to remain quiet ? Had they not then routed and deflroyed the RufGan army as they boat% to have done now—and probably with as little truth. It appears clearly to have been BoaAraara's ob jat to cut off the Ruffian army which had advanced towards the Viflula, and it is even Paid that BERRA* DOTTE'S retreat was a feint to draw the Ruffians into a fnate. Be that as it may, BONAPAR 'YE collated his army, and fell in great force upon the left wing of the Ruffians, eluting them in towards the He affembled the different corps of NEP, Aucs- ItiatU s Souvr, with Muaar's and the Imperial Guard, and alfo Davausr's, to that nearly the whole French army was engaged. LARNE* was perfonally engaged ; but it is laid his corps was not there. Bsartavorm's corps is not mentioned. The preffure of the French was upon the left of the Ruffian, and if their maccuvres had fucceeded, the retreat of the latter would have been cut off. But their refifiance was fuch as to defeat the projett of BONAPARTE, and to leave him nothing but the doubt. ful advantage of a drawn battle. As to pofitions or fecurity, we do not think it wil', turn ou: that the French have gained any thing ; and from even their own Statements, we are pretty confident that if the Ruffians loft any thing, it was not honour. The Berlin Telegraph Baler, that on the rtth of February Martha LEFEBYRI gained tome advantage over General Rot:Lt./Errs. It fpeaks alfo of fume fix eel's over a body cf Prullians, who had made incur. lions into the neighbour hood of the Oder, and had cut off the communication with Pufen. It is gated, as a report, that the Ruffians and Pmf. flans had quitted Konigfberg, and retreated to Me mel. We do not believe it. It appears that the important fortrefs of Schweld neitz, in Silefia, has furrendered to JEROMS Botts- PAR TS. This is like every other part of the conduit of the Pruffians. The Rut'flaw, ;Lig faid, are now marching from Wallachia into Albania, with a numerous army. The French are affembling an army, with a view of march. ing through Dalmatia againft them. BONAPARTE is to much in want of men that additional levies are fotced in all the vaffal States. Naples, it it faid, is to furnith 30,000 men. The French are preparing for the liege of Stral. fund, but according to the laft account it was not begun. Nothing farther appears refpeeing the intentions of the Court of Vienna. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM HAMBURGE FEBRUP.RY 24. . . . A French officer has arrived here, who was preknt in the battle of hylau : he defcribcs it as the molt fanguinary one that the French were ever engaged in. The Ruffians fought with a fury unparalleled. He makes no mention of the lofs of the French Letters received here from Berlin Rate, that all the °facers who attended when Te Desna was chaunted, wore crape round their arms, from which circumftacce it was inferred, that fome peas of rank had fallen." EXTRACT OF ♦ PRIVATE. LETTER FROM ALTONAI FEBRUARY 24. _ _ _ " According to letters received from Koninfberg, Bonaparte has employed all the latter part of his ftay at Warfaw, in endeavours to detach the King of Pruffia from his alliance, by offering hint an honourable peace. a: has alfo ufed every means to tempt Aultria, by the promifc of new territorial acquittions, to join hint agaialt Ruffia, and affilt the French to exptl the kuffians front Turkey Bath propofala have been molt decidedly rejeeted by both parties. 1, The report that the Auftrian Gen. Vincent is commiffloned to negociate a peace. as mediator for the belligerent powers, is ear• tainly without foundation. The General i; only charged to obtain Bonaparte's final anfwer with regard to the Auftrian part of Pia land, viz. Gallicia and Sodomeria. Private advice; from Warfaw, dated the 14th loft. fay that Napalevn has till now refufed to et plain himfelf explicitly, and only amufes the Auftrian general with fubterfuges. " Baron Vincent, difgufted with this evafive condu!i, has regu larly made every forttight a report to his Court. ou which account the Auftrian Cabinet has ordered all the troops which were to ,be fent to the Turtifb parts of Hungary, to break up from Upper Hungary for Gallicia, where there is now a furce of nearly one hundred thoufand regular troops. Strong cordons are lftewife drawn along the frontiers of Bolcmil and Moravia. Bonaparte, finding that he could make no impreffion on General Baron Vincent and being obliged to leave his winter quarters in confequence of the alarming movements, referred the Baron to M. Talleyrand, who is to amufe him, if poffible, till his return. " Two defigns againft the life of Napoleon, it is reported, have been difeovered at Warfaw—the one was by a General. who, ore being fent for by the defpot, ibot hirnfelf; the other ;els by a Polifh lady , who was dete.fted by Fouche, the Minifter of Pace, with the dagger in her &eves." A report prevailed at Gottenburgh on the z3d ult. jua as the Mail was leaving it, that the French, haw ing attempted to carry Otralfund by ltorm, were beaten off with very great lofs. their youth being now flint ant from Anon. every other Fart a Europe where they were fornierly initrodled in divinity and com. pleted in the higher claffes of literature; it was alto the with of the Roman Catholic Gentry. t! t thofe who were (Wiped for the Church should have a home in preference to a foreign educa• tion ; and it was impalliko that hi the Univerfiiy of Dublin they could be educated in matters of tiodtrine and difciplinc appertain ing to the Itomith faith, by the Profeirors of that Univerfity ho were Proteftants. _ _ _ Mr. BANKES contended that the on-inal Grant of the Par- Lament nt Ireland towards the Eft.iltlnment of which they were now (peaking, was for a fum of money towards the endowment of the Seminary to be afterwards ftriported by voluntary contri butions. Now it appeared as if the ' Right Hon. Baronet thought it was nothing but a matter of courft, that not only Parliament ihould be called upon to grant, and Ihould immediately give the fandion of its authority to the appropriation of a funs of the pub lic money which should be fufficient for the entire fupport of the prefent eftablifhment, but alto that they should vote fuck a cum as would be equal to double the number of Students that are at pre. fent educated in that Seminary. Mr. GRA r I'AN thought that in a queftion of this kind, that involved the education of a great portion of the population of the Empire, any fed of Chriftiatiiry &mild be tolerated, as any one fed of religion was better than no religion at all. He was aftoniflied to hear from an Honourable Gentleman over the way, that if the Roman Catholics of Ireland were to be educated in the principles of their faith, it was little matter whether they received that education in Ireland or in France. He was furprifed to hear this, becaufe it went to fay, that it was immaterial whether three millions of the King's own fubjeds were educated at the expencc and under the protedtion of his Majefty's Government, or whe ther they &ild be penlioners on the bounty of the Emperor of France. In the jealoufy hitherto entertained of the growth of Catholicifm, that jealoufy was founded nut upon the mere doc• trine—not againtt it as a religion—but againft its foreign views— its foreign connedtions—its foreign relations. But here the ob jedtiuti is changed; no danger is apprehended from thole fo reign relations; the Roman Catholic may go abroad; but If kept at home, if educated in the bofom of his country, then he will be dangerous :—ls this the dodrine ? If it is, let it only be repeated in order to be refuted. And if it is not ;it foreign con nedtions are dangerous, why promote thofe views and Itrengthen thole connedions, by exiling the Roman Catholic for the purpofx of educating him ? As to economy, 43,0001. are voted to the Pro t:Rant Charter Schools—a i,ooal. voted to the FoundlingHofpital —that Is, with a ready hand, 214..c:.1. are given to the crimes of the depraved, and it is to be dlfputed whether 13,00 - 1. arc to be given to enlighten and initrua three millions of a bold and hardy peafantry. Why fo much freely to the Protettant, and why difpute the little to the Catholic? Did not this do that which was complained of? Did it not encourage the rivalry fo much apprehended, by letting up one religion nab - A another, and was it juft fo to do ? He had heard it apprehended that the inftitution might tend to encourage the Roman Catholic Profeffors in that fesuinary, in the latent diffomination of difloyaht ; was it remem bered that that feminary is fubjed to the controul of vilitors, the Chancellor and the judges of the land, and under their controul nothing in that way could he apprehended ? He withal Gentle men to look more largely at the intlitutiun; it originated in wifdom, and would be produdive of good Lord MAHON fupported the additional grant to the inftitu• tion in a very flit ited manner, infilled upon the paramount advan• tars retuning from the po:icy of committing the Catholic Prieft hood to the care of the frith Government. Mr. WILBERFORCE felt unaltedted pain in offering his fenti mem. upon this fubjedt. lie wilhed, however, to be candidly underftood. He was not, he conferred, one of thole men who entertained thofe large and liberal views on religious fubjedts, infifted upon with fo much energy by the Right Hon. Gentleman on the other fide (Mr. Grattan); he was not fo much like a cer tain Ruler, of whom it had upon a late occafion been In happily faid, that he was an honorary member of all religiosis. He could not help Paying, that he thought the inftitution in queltion would tend to difcourage the growth of Proteltintifm in Ireland. He muft add, however, that he thought the policy of this country's condudt towards that part of the Empire had been a molt illiberal and ill judged one. This dangerous fyftem of intolerance and perfecution has been too long preferved, and cannot be too greedily shated.-4.4 loud cry of Hear ! Hear I from tte Treafitry At the fame time if Proteftantifns was to be encouraged in Ireland, certainly the Maynooth Seminary did not contribute to that molt defirable effect; while he wilhed to encourage proteltantifin in Ireland, and indeed all over the earth, as the pureft religion with which its inhabitants were ever blefred, he was at the fame time a decided enemy to the barbarous cruelty and folly of all tyftems of exclufion and intolerance. Lord HOW IC K applauded the manly and ingenuous fentiments that had fallen from his Honourable Fiend ; they were worthy of his enlightened mind, and worthy of the pure religion of which he was an ornament. It was therefore with the greaten regret, that he had heard from his Honourable Isriend, opinions upon that fuhjerft not entirely correfponding with rhofe fentiments. The Noble Lord then proceeded to refute the arguments that had already been combated;--Ise raid that the Inftitution in queftion had its origin in 179( ; and read in fupport of its policy, the let ters of the Duke of Portland to Lord Camden then Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, with his l.ordfkip's, both in Itrong terms ap provitg of the nectfrtty and advantages of loch an inftitution ; he had to Rate alfu to the Houle a fad that had come within his own knowledge :—in conkquence of the deficiency of build. ings in the feminary, a coisfiderable number of Roman Catholics were lately obliged to repair from that College to Lifbou, where they were immediately applied to on the part of Dr. Walfh, Principal of the Seminary at Paris, and a man of great notoriety, to come and take their education at his College. He thought that this fi sgle anecdote was in itfelt a ftrong comment upon the necet fity of fuch an inftitution in Ireland (H ar! Hear !)-the Gen tlemen on the other fide were willing to give the origissal grant of Boccl but refuted the 13clool. required. He could not well un derstand this ; if their objedlion againft the inmate was becauk of their hoftility to the very principle ittelf—they Ihonid not only objedt to the inereafe, but they should move to retcind the entire refolution--and if they approved of the principle, why deny the . means aeceilary to the rapport of the eftablifhment t The Noble Lord concluded with adverting to the Rate of Ireland, and admit ted that the fyftem at this fide, with retpeet to that country, was ralically bad, and had been deeply criminal. He rejoiced, how ever, that the period was Taft as riving, when England would ac quit herfelf of her old and long debt to that great and important part of the Empire. Mr MAY laid a few words on the fame fide, when the quef tion being loudly called for, the orSgi..al motion of granting t3,or:sol. to the Maynoo:h Seminary wad put and carried without a diviGon. DIED.
