. _ iil money and In tlite - , to that he irai the lets able lo attend to the more luerativeparfuits of hit profealon. Mr. WINDHAM thought that no country could be inlitred by liberality to ufeful men—in the prefent gigaton, howefer, fo tranfcendant was the fervice rendered by this difcovery to mankind, that to talk ' of recompenfe to Dr. Jenner wa.. out of the queQion —no money could adequately remunerate his ter. ' vices, at the fame time liberality itfelf had its limits, and though no fum could be too large as given to tr. Jenner, yet there might be excels on the part of Parliament ; again, however, the very inipotlibility of coming up to the quantum meruit, in the prefent in. dance, might throw back the mind fo far as to fink it in the other extreme. Let the Committee confider it as near calculation as pothble—let them confider in the firft place the fervice—the failure incurred in the next place—the expellee incurred, and above all, the national charaaer, which was deeply involved in the grateful requital of Co meritorious an individual. He Mould vote for the amendment, from which he thought it in a manner morally impolfible fcr the Committee to diffent. The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER thought it neceffary to corre& a millake of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wilberforce); the Committee could not now grant an annuity or money in any other form than a certain furn. As for an annuity, that could not come before the Houfe well but in the way of a Mefrage from his Majefty. He again repeated that he thought the so,oool. a reafonable recompenfe. Mr. WM. SMITH read a variety of papers, prov ing the foccefs of the vaccination in molt parts of the world. He held in his hand the Supplement of the Madrid Gazette, which mentioned the return of a i phyfician to that Court, and his reception by the King of Spain, after a voyage round the world, for the purpofe of diffeminating the fyttem of vaccina lion. It appeared that this phy fician had fuccefsfolly vaccinated 60,cr00 perfons in Spanilh America. It ' appeared that in Marfeilles the finall pox had been annihilated-=that in Germany the mortality had de. creafed from Soe. annually, to about eight or ten per year—that in the Eaft Indies two millions had fuc cefsfully undergone the vaccination—that in tie Wand of Ceylon the Small Pox Hofpital had been converted into a barracks. He fhould give his hearty anent to the amendment. Mr. WHITBREAD Paid, that Dr Jenner's fyflem had confiderably leffened the Poor Rates, and warmly fupported the larger grant. Mr. FULLER followed on the lathe fide, and laid, that it would be to 'the difgrace of the Houle and the Country, if they refufed fo meritorious an individual the larger grant. Mr. ROSE, junior, Paid, that there was brit argu ment which he wifhed to prefs upon the Committee, that that valuable difcovery had been injurious to the prefeffional reputation of the Doaor ; ft.r that in this city many of morbid imagination and capricious talk, had a vulgar kind of prejudice againft a perfon they looked upon as a mere cow pock Doctor (a laugh), that was however a matter really of fome ferious confederation—(hear ! hear !) Admiral POLE bore teftimony to the valuable eF. I feels of the difcovery in the Blitias Navy. The Committee then divided on Mr. Morris's Amend ment, when there appeared for granting the L.a0,000 - - 6o zopoo only - 47—Majority s 3. The Houle then went into a Committee on the Dun drum Pier Bill, when 7.7711. ,6s. was voted to his Majefty for the erection of a pier, and opening of a harbour in Dundrum. The Houle next went into a Committee on the Parochial Poor's Relief Bill ; Mr. DAVIES GIDDY having Rated, previous to the Speaker's leaving the Chair, that there were certain Claufes he fhnuld take • the fettle of the Committee on, and efpecially that Claufe relating to the Building of Cottages. On the Claufe which prefcribes the means by which a poor man may obtain a fettlement in any parti cular parifh, a very lengthened difeuffion took place- Mr. WHITBREAD propofed a refidence of five years. Mr. STURGES BOURNE moved, that the blank be filled up with the word Ten, inflead of Five. Upon this the Houk divided, and there were, for the Original Motion 25—Againfl it 32. The blank was confequently filled up with the word I'en. There was another difctarn and a divifion upon the quellion that this claufe thus amended (land part of this Bill. The numbers then were for the claufe 23, againft it 30 ; and we underliand, that while the gallery was cleared, the Bill was abandoned till next Seflion. The Committee on the Parochial School Bill was put off to Tuefday next, that on the Irifh Arms Prevention Bill to Friday next, that on the Militia Bill to this day. The Route went into a Committee on the Spirits Duty Bill, and it was refolved that the Chairman fhould move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Spirit Trade between Great Britain and Ireland ; and when the Houk refumed, the Chairman obtain ed leave to bring in a Bill purfuant to the raid refolution. The Orders remaining un the lift were then clifpofed of, and [ the Houk adjourned at two o'clock. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, JULY 30. PRICEI3c STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : 3 per Cent.

This Nis POLION has no doubt the will, but not the power to do. The report moR probably originated from the forces fent into Hamburgh.

Colonel D'Aacv and Lieutenant Cot.t.vez, of the Royal Engineers, left Chatham on Sonday, to join the Expedition at Yarmouth, the Engineer Officers attached to which are, one Colonel, one Major, fix Captains, and one Subaltern. Upwards of tOOO Artillerymen were embarked at Woolwich, on Friday lall, under the command of General BLoomvi aLe with a very extenfive batter ing train: the butt le which was experienced at Wool• wich on this occafion, has hardly ever before been equalled. Four hundrtd Gunners and Drivers, and a large number of hot fes have embarked at Northfleet, under the command or Captain Roam sow. Thurfday, a Company of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Captain MUNROE, arrived at Chatham from Woolwich : they are Rationed at their new barracks, at Brampton.

The 13th Light Dragoons, now on their march from Ramfgate, &c. to take the *King's duty, will, on their tranfit, be reviewed ott Saturday. Military amateurs had a high treat on Monday, in the review of that unrivalled corps, the rath Dra goons, on Hounflow Heath. The greateß applaufe was juftly paid to that able officer, Lieut. -Colonel Haw KER, for the high Rate into which he hasbrought this fine regiment. The volunteering from the militia for the regiments of theline, will, in Ireland, be carried on with amazing fpirit, if we may judge from what took place four year, ago. The South Cork regiment, then quartered atWaterfnrd, of which Lord RIVERSDALE is Lieute nant Colonel, and was with them at that time. turned out almoft to a man, to ferve in any corps, and wherever Government thought proper. Yeßerday, his Majefty's tzth Regiment of Light Dragoons, who, in confcquence of their diflinguifhed fervices in Egypt, wear the Sphinx on their colours and caps, were reviewed by the Duke of C AMBRIDGE , attended by the Staff of the Home Diflria. The re giment performed all their evolutions in a corre& way, and, abating for the wind and duff, it was a very pleating foal:tele to a number r,f fathionahles. Sunday night there was a very hot prefs in Leith, by which a number of ufeful handy were picked up. Yefterday a deputation of nureaan ts, who enquir e 1 of the 'Lords of the Admiralty when the embar go would be taken off, were 2nfwered " two days after the failing of the expedition !" In the mean time there has been a relaxation of the embargo in fume of the diftant ports. A few fhips for the Weft In dies and Halifax have been allowed to fail from Li. verpool. General MEAD, who has been fo badly wounded in Egypt, fared long in Sir Joule Dort.s's regiment, 1 , the 87th. After a minute invehigation of the numerous de. partments of Chelfea College, it is underhand that the Commiffioners of Military Enquiry will next turn their attention to the very extenfive, as well as expen five department of the Ordnance.

They communi cate to us the unplearant tidings, that the Spanifh inhabitants continued to as with the molt determined inveteracy againfl the peOple and commerce of Eng- land ; and particularly (tate, that a large parcel of goods, which had been purchafed at Monte Video, had been intercepted on their way to the. interior of the Spanifh fettlements, and publicly burnt, for no other reafon than becaufe they had been purchafed from the Britifh, and were of Englifh manufaCture. A cartel had been fent from Monte Video to Buenos Ayres, for the purport of negotiating an exchange of prifoners ;. but the nature of her reception was not known at Monte Video at the time the LANCASTIR and Howl failed from thence for England. AMERICA. Yeflerday a fchooner-rigged man of war, beating the flag of the United States, came to anchor .at Spithead. An American Officer, the bearer of moff important difpatches, immediately landed, and fet off for London. It is confidently reported in high circles, that a fucceffer to the Hon. Admiral BERKLIEY will imme diately fet out to the Amet ican (Liam. He, however, is to take with him a formidable augmentation to oar naval force on that nation. A Meeting of the Merchants trading to Ametica was yeßerday held at the London Tavern, for the purpofe of taking into contideraticn the confeqnences which may refult to the trade, from the late action between his Majeßy's (hip •Lroratto and the Chefa peak American frigate. —Mr. Sanfom was called to by the Chair. He Rated, that he had been honoured by an interview with the Secretary of State (Mr. Can ning) on the fubjeel of their meeting ; and he had the fatisfaelion to announce, that a molt fincere difpoll - bad been manifeßed by the Hnn. Secretary to preferve the mon friendly intercourfe between the two countries ; but that at prefent no detailed account of the tranfaltion, which had canted fo much alarm, had reached Government ; in the abfence of which it was impolUble to fay to whom the blame attach ed. In order to facilitate the ends of ftriet juflice, however, Mr. Canning had, in an interview with Mr. Munro, the Mininer from the United Rates, agreed, that thould it ultimately appear that blame could be attributed to the commander of one or the other (hip, fuch reparation Ihould be made as the nature of the cafe might require, In! the Government of the offend ing party. The only further intelligence that has been received upon this fubjeft, is contained in the following pri vate letter : " A great number of men had deferted from the fquadron com manded by Admiral Berkeley, which Admiral Berkeley reprefent od to the American Government, according to the aecultomed way. This evil Co much iscreafed, that a whole boat's crew de leted ; this immediately became the fubjedt of reprefentation ; but to none of Admiral Berkeley's reprefentations could he obtain a fatisfer:tory anfwer. Whether Admiral Berkeley bad orders from home or not, or ailed upon his own account, from being ezafperated by the American's difrefpedtrul and evafive conduel, I cannot fay : he, however, fent his flag [hip, the Leopard, of so guns, Captain Humphreys, to tea, with orders to fearch aft Lips or oNfrels, and feize all deterters belonging to his Majefty's ferviee The Leopard reached her Ration, and loon afterwards the Chefa peak came out ; Captain Humphreys approached hcr,and told the American Captain he was eruizing under orders to difeover a number of Bridal feamen who had deferted from the fquadron on that Ration, and that he had pofitive orders to take out tome from on board the Chefapeak, Rating at the fame time that the Admiral reeognifed the fame right on the part of the Americans, and had ordered the Officers under him to deliver up all American feamen that might be claimed. The American Captain peremptorily refuted to let Captain Humphreys Parch his Chip for them.— Captain Humphreys Rill expoftulated with the American Captain , and rent him a copy of his orders; told him he muft abide by his orders, and that he would allow him a certain time to confider of it, for his acquiefcenee. The time having elapfed, the Leopard fired a gun acrofs her, which the Chefapetk returned with a broadfide. The anion then became mutual, sod Lifted till the American had four men killed and thirteen wounded. Captain Humphreys then frothed the Chefapealt, and found four of the deferrer.. Of the other two, one was among the number killed, and one jumped overboard, the moment the Lip Brock, and was drowned. Captain Humphreys told the American Captain that he had fulfilled his orders, and gave up the Chefapeak to him again, which put back to the Chefapeak." The important intelligence has been received flcom the Mediterranean, that Lord COLLIMOWOOD, in the Ocean, with a llrocg detachment of his fleet, had proceeded with Sir ARTHUR PAOST, our new Am bairador, to Conflantinople.

By an ingenious calculation extraeled from SMITH'S ANTIOSITIRS of WS3TIIINSTEII, we find the turnof .1 1,9491. expended in the reign of Henry the Third, 11 for the Queen's chamber, in the ancient Palace of Wedminuer, equal to the fum of 97,4821. and a fraCtion in the prefect age.
