°maims an alteration favourable to the intere*s of the Catholics, but the refult, he was well aware, mug depend bn the wifdom of Parliament. He trailed, that his fentiments would not now be fa ny rungermif nnderflood (a lartgh). When he - came, cn the other band, to confider the merits of the late Adminiflrs tion, he mull declare, that he never did fee (itch a feeble Pet of men attempt to guide the helm of the Nate; he ne ver knew any Pet of men that in 13 months had done In much to infult the feelings of all defcriptions of peo ple ; they had infuited the feelings of the Eaft India Company, they had difgulted Volunteers, they had given offence to the Shipping intereft, and they bad fit.ifhed the career by an infult on his Majefty, which, thank Gon, he had the manly firmnefs to re fill. His ( Lord C.'s) Honourable Friends and himfelf had come into power by no intrigue, but they fhould poll - els no public virtue, there would not be a (park of loyalty or patriotifm in their breafts, if they did not (land forward on this °cc:titan to fupport their Sovereign. The places were at that time completely vacant : nothing, in fad, but a moll inordinate love of place, could have induced his Majefty's late Mi. Miters to have clung to office fo long as they had done, under all the circumftances of the cafe. Lord HOWICK obferved, that after all that he bad already Paid upon the fubjeft, he fhould have re mained filent duriog the difcuffion of this night, had it not been for fume of the obfervatinns which had been made by the Noble Lord who had juft fat down. In the firft place, it Purely came with a moll peculiar ill 19 ACC from that Noble Lord to fpeak of clinging to office, when it was a matter of fuch general notoriety, that that fameNnble Lord was always anxious to have two, or even three, ftrings to his bow. The Noble Lord had difplayed a molt extraordinary degree of anxiety, a molt peculiar tendcrnefs for what he called the feelings of the EAR India Company (in what breall thnfe feelings refided it was difficult to tell), but Coe Houfe would recoiled., that that Noble Lord was not at all times fo delicate about touching thole feelings, of which he had now fpoken with fuch extreme kind nefs and fuch tender fympathy. Surely the N::ble Lord could not already forget the fulattitution of a letter of praife and approbation, innead of one con taining expreflions of cenfure and difapprobation on a Noble Lord who had at that time the chief ma nagement of the Company's affairs ! On the fobj:Et of the Volunteers, Come general expreffions relative to the Rgular Forces had been mifinterpreted and r.rif quoted; but no one was ever yet fo bold as to deny that his Hon. Friends, at all times, did honour to the motives of that meritorious body. As to the (hipping intereft, he mull only reply, that all that he knew ofas a public meafure connected with that intereft, was the American Intercourfe Bill ; a Bill which gave a pre. cite legal determination to an at which was almoft conflantly performed contrary to law. But, as to the Taft part of the Noble Lord's allegation, that his Ma jelly's late Minifters had endeavoured to force the King's confcience—he would, in the first place, give a broad denial to the charge ; and 2dly, he mutt refer the Houfe to the ad of withdrawing the Bill, which was in itfelf the molt unequivocal evidence that they had acknowledged by aCtion, what he would always moll fincerely acknowledge by words—that,whenever a difference of opinion fhould unfortunately happen to arife between him and his Majefty, that in fuch cafe his own opinion mutt unqueftionably be wrong. But then, after that acknowledgment was in duty given —when an unnecefTaryand an unconftitutional pledge was demanded—a pledge, the impropriety of which was acknowledged by every Member of the Houle but one, was it according to the true fpirit of our Conftitution, to fay that his Majefty had been ill ad vifed ? If the Houfe then be almoft unanimoufly convinced of the unconftitutio: al exercife of the royal prerogative, molt they have their lips leafed ? mutt Parliament remain a fluent fpedator of incroachments on the Conilitution, which may threaten the liberties of the people, or the perfonal fafety even of the Mo narch himfelf, and not a Member of that Houfe mull dare to exprefs his difapprobation of the conduit of thole who had given his Majefty fucli dangerous ad vice, left fome Noble Lord molt eminently confpi rivals for patriotifm and loyalty, or flame Learned Chancellor of the Exchequer, fhould (tart up and fay, " This is the AEt of the King, and to meddle with it is to bring the Sovereign to the Bar of the Houle." Really this is unbearable ;—that a Member of the Britifh Parliament cannot call in queftion, in fuch terms as the Conftitution has authorifed, an at of royal prerogative, but that fome perfon may (trip off the veil with which the facred perfon of Majelly is covered by our Conffitution, an then lay the blame at the door of him who cenfured only the evil ad. N ifers of the Crown. But this is not the only inflance in which a British Parliament is attempted to be kept in awe : a Right Honourable Secretary of S . -Ite has mentioned the name of the King in Parliament, with a view to influence the decision of that Houfe. At other periods of our hiftory, filch words, if any one fhould dare to utter them, would have been taken down, and the Member would not have been fuffeted to proceed. The Noble Lord remarked on the peculiar grace with which the charge came from the Nqble Se:re• tary of State, againft the explanation which he had lately felt it his duty to make relative to the Catholic quefti. , n, after the condo& purfued by Mr. Pitt, in conjunction with that Noble Secretary in tflet. For when the relignati , n then took place, the caufe of it atifing out of the perfonal fentiment 4)f the King, was very generally underftood. The Minifters who refigned had not, to be Cure, made any public expla nation of the caufe of their refignation. But he .would put put it to the Noble Secretary, to his col- leagues, and to the Houfe, whether if the Miniftry who fucceeded him had taken any meafures to mif reprefent his condo& and raife an outcry againft his charaCter ? Whether if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had in a public addrefs thought pro per to accufe hint of an attempt to endanger, if not to overthrow, the Church eflablifbment, Mr. Pitt would not have come down to the Houfe with all the thunder of his eloquence to vindicate bis charaBer and overwhelm his opponents ? As to the meafure recommended by an Honourable Gentleman relative to an arrangement of tythes in Ireland, he would affure that Honourable Gentleman that fuch a meafure thould have his decided fupport, as fhonld the other sneafure referred to for promoting the edu cation of the poor. Adverting to the doetrine main tained by fume Gentlemen, that this Houfe fbould not interfere with his Majelly's prerogative in the choke •of his Minifters, it would go to this, that however exceptionable any let of Minifters might be, that Houle was bound not to exprefs any fen 'intent upon them. If fuch a doOrine were admitted, the confequences might be extraordinary indeed, and we Wet potlibly have fume of the extravagancies of ancient Rome ailed in this country, and a boric, *night bs let up fin. a With regard to the affertion, that upon there Cabinet meetings which thole place upon the fobje& of the Catbolic Bill, fuch Members were excluded as diffented from it, it was totally incorrea. For the fart was, that at all the dif cations which took place relative to that meafure,all the Cabinet meetings were full up to the'period at which the diffention arose in confequence of the Bill exceeding the Aft of 1793. From that time forth there was no other meeting as to that point than that of the Minifters who were friendly to the meafure, who affembled to deliberate upon the courfe bell to be purfued refpeaing it. But they never In met as a Cabinet, and the minutes of their proceedings Served to (hew that. Of courfe no principle of ex elution Inch as that afcribed to himfelf and Come of his colleagues, ever did exiit. Indeed no proceed ing was taken by thofe among his colleagues, who affented to the propofed meafure, relative to the Catholics, which was not made ',known to thofe who diffented, and fully open to their examina tion. For the laft difpatch fent to Ireland, autho- riling Mr. Elliot to give that anfwer to the Catholics which had been objeaed to, L. , rd Grenville told one of the diffentients (Lord Sidmouth) he might fee it if he wished before it was fent off. There was, there fore, no concealment whatever from the King or any of the Minifters. Sidmouth did himfelf com municate to his Majetly all the grounds upon which he difapproved of the meafure. With refpea to the motion before the Houle, he had no hefitation in till tinaly (lacing, that he would fupport it ; becauf , -. among other reafons, he thought the prefent Mini ((CS unworthy to hold their places—Hill, however, if they fhould be able to retain them ; he would fay, that it was not by any means his intention to give them any vexatious or haraffing oppt.fition, although he would of courfe feel it his duty to watch their condo& with that conftitutional jealoufy which mutt be confider ably heightened by theimpreffion upon his mind, that they were totally undeferving of confidence. Lraoi PERCY (tared, that he gave his full fopprot to the original motion, but difapproved of tbe agita tion of the Catholic quellion. Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST ufed nearly the fame arguments he had done in the lalt debate.— He regretted the lots of fo many fuperiur talents : he approved of the late Minifters in all their conduit, except the laft ; for which be could not fupport them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that the prefent Minilters were the ocealion of dragging his Majefty's name to the bar of that Houle. ft had been raid, that the dilmif lal of the late Minifters had been owing to fecret advifers ; but the fair prefumption was, there were no feeret advifers, and it was therefore incumbent on the late Minifters to prove the fad. —One Right Honourable Gentleman bad laid, that the dif miffal had been the confequence of a long and dark intrigue. If this were really the cafe, it was a very curious one; for thi s damned fpirit mutt have aded with the moll unccmmon fehtlety, and have landed itfelf fo secretly into the bofoms of his Majesty's late Minifters, as to prevail with them to bring forward their late Bill, and by that means draw on themfelves that lots of confidence which had induced his Majefty to difmifs them from his Service. It had been alfo Said, that the prefent Minifters were anfwerable rot the ((reds of their own appointments. He denied this to be true. When his Majefty found it need/my to diftnifs from his Councils his late Servants, he mull then of eourfe chute a new fee ; otherwife, the bulinels of the Executive Government mutt be at a nand. His Majefty having made choice of them, it was their duty to accept their Several appointments, and there might be made by the Sovereign without any advice whatever, more than his own molt gracious choice, and without any keret advifers, further than thofe on whom his Majefty had laid his commands to form a new Adrniniftration. The Right Hon. Gentleman then entered into a vindication of his condudt on the Addrefs he had publifhed to his Conftituents at Northampton, which he laid, he never meant as an eledion fquib, nor did be intend it as a means of roufirg a fpirit of religious animosity. but only to inform them candidly and fairly of his reafons for having accepted the appointment with which his Majesty had honoured him, and the opinion he had of what might eventually be the cafe, if power was ever to be given to the Catholics in Ireland. He did not mean to fay that the church was at this moment adman/ in danger, but that fuch might here after be the cafe, if the Catholic claims were to be allowed to the fulleft extent which had been aimed at. He infifted on it that the late Minifters had, by their own condudt, proeared their own dif miffal, and tint his Majefty had found himfelf compelled to that ft-p by their condudt, and had adopted it of his own Spontaneous free will, without any feeret advifers to Stimulate him to the fame. [flare was a lead and swoiverfal cry of " into, , peflion.' Mr. WINDHAM laid, the Houle might reft affured, that at th a t late hour, and in the exhautted Rate he then was, be would not trouble them at any length. He asked who had been the cattle of introducing the portentous and momentous phenomenon into that Houfe of the name of the Sovereign, which had deftroyed the very effenee of the freedom of debate. From the moment the minutes had been given in a garbled form to the public, from that instant his Majelly's late Minifters were compelled to alit permit. firm to Rate the trsnfadtion fairly, in vindication of their own charaders ; and to the publication of thole inmates was to be at tributed every thing which followed. He contended that the pre -1 fent Minifters were refponfible, by contenting to accept their litu ations, for it was evident that thereby they in a manner advifcd the dihniffal of Minifters He entered his proteft againft the doc trines which the Haute had heard front the other fide, upon the quelth at of relporffibility. If, indeed, there dodrines were to ob tain—if it were allowed that the King could exercife his preroga tive without an advifer in one cafe, fo be might in another. His Majefty might make his vet, againft an Adt of both Houfes of the Legiflature, and if he could do fo without a refponfibie advifer, then, inftead of a balance of power in the Conititution, all the power would be in the King; rot, combining the maxim that " The King can do no wrong," with the dodtrine now attempted to be eftabliked, that the King can ad without a refponfible ad. viler, there would be an end of that controul of the Executive Au thority which the Coultitution intended—becaule the King could not be perfonally arraigned, and beeaufe any Mt of the Executive Power, (Welded by the pretence let up in this initance, that fuck act proceeded from the individual will of the King, could not be made the subject of accusation. But he deprecated loch doctrines, as fubverfive of the heft principles of the Conftitation, and ridi culed the idea of letting up the old and exploded notions with re gard to any invafion of the Prerogative arifing out of. the expref lion of the Sentiment of that Houle, upon any exercise whatever of that Prerogative. The MASTER of the ROLLS was of opinion, that as that Houk had no eonftitutional authority to inquire into the grounds on which the Royal Prerogative was muffed in the inftance a hi ded to, the queflion timid not have been brought Forward to its consideration; and that, therefore, it was not correct to have granted permiffion to Lord Grenville and his Noble Colleague to make the public explanations which had been fo often alluded to In the debate. Sir A. PIGOTT protefted againft the dodtrine of the Learned Gentleman. He maintained the right of that Houfe to take cog nizance of Such Subjects, and quoted the cafes of Lords Danby and Somers.

Accounts have been received by Government of the capture of the CRArry ichoonct by the enemy.in the Mediterianean, with important difpatches on board. This circumftanee accounts fufficiently for the non•arrival of the Official details refpetling the palling of the Dardanelle* by our Het under Admi rals Ductcwoutru, Louts, and Sir Simi tot SMITH.

The Nautilus (loop is alfo loft, the was wrecked on a barren rock, and many of the crew were Itarved to death. The furvivors were, for the moft part, on board the Ajax at the time of her misfortune, and thus ended their miferics and their lives. The Captain of the Ajlx is faval, but the late commander of the Nautilus is loft. " It is with forrow I add, that the Crafty fchooner, with dif patches of the greateft moment and national cnnfequence, has alto been captured by the enemy, and nothing c:tn now fo elfedually difpel our difappoioted hopes, but a rencontre with the French men, who arc the caufe of all our anxieties.

The Capitulation and propofals for Peace immediately followed. This intelligence was brought by a Mer chant veffel from Smyrna, which arrived at Triefte in eleven days. The French Minifter at that placere• ceived fimilar information through the fame channel. On the 28th ult. the COMUS, Captain SHIPLEY, arrived at Gibraltar with two Spanifh prizes, which fhe cut out of one of the Canary Iflands. DENMARK MAILS. Laft night two Mails arrived from Hufum, by which Hamburgh and Altona papers to thead ina. have been received. The letters from Vienna repeat the intelligence already received of our fleet under Admiral Duca WORTH having patted the Dardanelles. The report was current that peace had been re-eftablifhed be tween Ruffiaand the Porte; and the fadt, we think, cannot be doubted. Nothing of importance had taken place between the armies in Poland, but an adlion was daily expected. A private letter of the 3111 ult. from Altona rays, " Accounts received from the head.glarters of the refpeeive armies reprefent the exertions making on huh fides for freffi operations, as immenfe.

VIENNA, MARCH 18. An Englifh courier, who arrived here hit night, brought the intelligence that after the arrival of Achriral Duckworth in the Archipelago, the Englilh fleet paired the Dardanelles, and ap peared before Conftantinople, which it threatened with a bom bardment, unlefa tbe Porte renewed its alliance with England...— The Turkifla fleet, to the number of ten fail, was provifionally taken poillffion of by the Englith. According to this intelligence, the inhabitants of Conftantinc pie are decidedly in favour of the Eng Hilt. According to the fat& intelligence from Conilantinople, nego tiations ftill continue between M. Arbuthnot and the Captain Pasha. It is Paid that the Ruffians have made very favourable propofals of peace to the Porte ; amma others, provided the Porte renewed its ancient treaties with Ituffia, the latter engages to guarantee all the Turkilb poffeffions in Europe, Afta, and Africa; but the Ruffians will retain pofftffion of Moldavia and Wallachia, until the concluflon of peace, and the Porte is to main tain a contingent proportioned to its forces, during the war, to be at the difpcial of Ruffia. Intelligence from Widdin informs us that the Ruffians have affembled a Iconfiderable corps of troops, and threatened to pars the Danube. 1 They write from Italy tlmt the Paeha of Janina, with a corps of 6000 men, has formed a juritft,ipta with General Laurifton, for the purpofe of attacking the Ruffians at Cattaro. The corps of Gen. Bellegarie, which had remained nine months In the itagufan territory, on account of the furrender of Cattazo, has now returned to Triefte, and will go to Carinthia to be coto• pitted. The rent of negociations carrying on in I!att NOD* continua, acquires greater credit. Notwitkeanding all that has been reported in foreign coin:ries of the military movements In the Außrian States, every thing here has the met pacific appearance. The recruiting now carry. ing on fur the completion of the regiments, is by no means fo confiderable as has been reported. Fbe Englifh have taken feveral !hips laden with corn for Con. ftantinople, but without declaring them legal prises. The recruiting for the Ruffian army, in the provinces of Mot. davia and Weilachia, has great (needs among the Greeks. Th• prifition of General klichaon is Rill the fame; lant Lieutenant. tleneral Von Mayendurf, who befieges !Entail, and occupies with his army the mouths of the Danube, made on the 24th of Fe. bruary, a third unfueceliful attempt to carry that fortrefs by alLule . The attack failed from his n v having a fufficienrquantity of ar tillery, and he was obliged to retire to Faltfcbi, to facilitate his receiving reinforcements of troops and artillery.
