If this explanation Was not satisfactory, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would ice whether the Gentleman to whores he had alluded, would have any objection tO writing to the Treasury the grounds upon Which he bed.refused apply the Privy Seal. The truth was, that from his oath, he did not feel himtelf authorised to prepw're the instrument. If, liewitee, it was thought expedient to have the fact committed to paper, he (the Chen . cellor of the Exchequer) would endeavour to com ply with the wishes of the House. ' Mr. TIERNEY thanked 'the Right I-lon. Getttle bun for the candour with which he had explaided himself to the House. He thought it would be de. eirable to have the facts which gave occasion to thill present motion, reduced to sortie form or oche% and 'hither the communications were by correspondent Or verbally, he thought k would be expedient to have {here committed to writing. Every thing in the shape Of a dottiment should be before the House, precious to their entering upon the discussion proposed, In the mean time, he wished to know, whether the Hon. Gendernini Meant she House to understand, that if, the course intended had liken pursued, had not been britieded by the difficulty on the part of the Officer, Who had the care of the Privy Seal, that no other dif ficulty whatever would have existed t Mr. SCIEOPE nERpIARD asked why the Chan eellor of the Exchequer had not, in the instant in *hi& the difficulty occurred, applied to both Houses of Parliament t . The CHANCELLOR of. the EXCHEQUER teplied, that had he done so, he should have done that which he was now anxious to avoid, namely, an= ticipating the discussion of to-morrow, In answer to the remarks of the Right Honourable Gentleman ( Mr. Tierney) he had only to remark, that he would use every etertion to procure the documents Alltlied to In es satisfactory a form as possible. He only had to hope, that their production would not occasion any delay, or interrupt the proposed discussion. Lord TEMPLE remarked, that it might not be necessary to print the papers in quettion, as, in all probability, the opportunity Of knowing their contents woAld satisfy the House. The Question was then put and carried. After which the papers first moved for by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer were brought up, ordered , to be printed, and referred to a CoMniittee of the whole Rouse to-morrow (this day.) The Order of the Day, requiring the attendance Of keratin defaulter's, was postponed to Friday next.— ,eidjourned. _ ~_ _ THE EVENING STAR. LOI ---.-- , I; PIEIDAY, JANtrAltit 4.

BAILIXT.. w. nEsEnDis• E. wiLus." from the proceedings in the House of Commons lastitight, it will be seen, that some obstacles have thrown in the way of any further issues of money m the Exchequer, while their exists any deficiency the Executive Power. It appears, however, that the embarrassments are likely to be removed by a Par. iiamentail measure, which will be proposed to-night. In common with bur cotemporaries, we were rule taken yesterday, when we stated, that by the decision of the House of Commons, on Wednesday night, the testrictiont on the Pomo as Regent, would fall to the ground. The fact is, that while the gallery was fleared ; Lord PORCHOTER'S amendment was nega 'ved without a division ; and, it was on a motion of lit, reiICEVAL to restore the .sth resolution to its ori ginal state, that Ministers were in a minority. The following statement of the business may be regarded as correct, and affords a distinct view of the result of the debate of Wednesday : It will be remembered that all the Resolutions re lating to Restrictions on the Regent, Were carried by the Ministers on the first night, except that which re lated td the Household. That Resolution, as pro posed by Mr. PRRCEVAL, stood thus : ' That it is the opinion o f the Committee, that the care of his Majesty's Royal Person, during the continuance of his Majesty's Illness, should be committed to the Queen's Most Excellent Ma jesty ; that, for a time to be limited, her Majesty shall have the power to remove front, and tti nominate and appoint such persons as site shall think proper, to the several CAces in his Majesty's Household ; and to dispose, order, and manage, all other matters and things relating to the care of his Majesty's Royal Person; and that, for the better enabling her Majesty to discharge this important trust, it is also expedient that a Council shall be appoin+ ted to advise and assist her Maj csty in the several matters afore' Paid ; and with power from time to time, at they May see cause, to examine upon oath, the Physicians and others attending his Majesty's Person, touching the state of his Majesty and all math ters relative thereto.' The consideration of the Resolution having been adjourned, an amendment was, on the following nights proposed by Lord Gowan in consequence of which, it stood as follows : " That it is the opinion 411 this Committee deft the etre aids Majesty's Royal Person, cfeent the continuance of his Ksjesty's Illness, should be committed to the Queen's most Eseellent Majem ty, together with As ~k directives e ach kiiatis Romig Wif ft Asti Sc deemed reririis saitattpr Ate Jae atiexhisiti • : • • •• • Iftjaer i s west a:4w AG h.t to* iht tsh bate MAW Ifl MOW' tut itei fitVi4ANds *tend Ibudettott. • - • the Amended teinintiMe4raiaaiirlett B tl hiajoi pity of Is, against the Da Wednesday eight the Itepok of ill t keso • • bitions being bfodrht up, no division took plaid mien any proposal from the Opposition i but the CHM,- CELLOR of the Excasausa moved an Assienclassent Upon the last Resolution, which went to it stoit that Resolution to its original state. This was Understood to he rather fer the purpose of recording the words which he had at first proposed eth the Journals, thaii for any thing else: Upon this the House divided, *hen there appeared to be a niajotity of there only against the Minister in the House, upon tilt same question upon which theiv had, the night before, beef a majority of 13 against hint in the Cominittee: We this morning received Cadiz Papers to the 12th ult. They contain a Decree of the Cottes for abolishing all sinecure offices ; but s with this excep tion, their contents are uninteresting. We have also received various letter from the RiVer Plate, by two ships from that quarter, ooe of them in 90 days, the other after a 'holler passage. One (if the letters alluded to is gikren in another coltimn. Mortiteurs and other French Papers have been re ceived to the 30th ult. They confirm the account df the loss of the MINOTAUR on the coast of Holland.— The number saved amounts to 110, aiming whom are a Lieutenant, the Surgeon. and eight Midshipmen. It appears that she struck on the 3andss near the hie of Bosch, in a tremendous storm, on the evening of the 2/th. The Afotdieurr are filled with congratula tory addresses fioM various public bodies to the French Emperor bn his late burning decreer A kind of Expose is also given in these ristpets of the present state of the French Armies in Spain. This document displays the usual rhodomonrade ; and while it claims a victory for the French in every rencontre, it is easy to perceive that they are most dreadfully harassed by the Guerrillas and Peasantry. The late defeat of General BLAKt is the Most serious disaster to the Spanish cause, which is recorded in the above docu ment. The re:Holds of the late Duke of Qtriantanstir were on Monday interred in the chancel-vault, St. James's Church. One of the legacies of the Duke of Qum:sent:iv has not been noticed He has bequeathed £5OOO to I ord Sundown:, in consideration of the uprightness of his conduct while he was Prime Minister. A Gentleman who lett Gottenburgh by the last conveyance, states, that the French Commissioners have been sent to all the Ports of Sweden, and inven tories of British merchandise had been required of the evaders. The duty on 'be wholes:non= of this pro perty had been demanded, and the inhabitants were endeavouring to answer to these exactions. Strict orders had been transmitted from France, to enforce with unrelenting severity the continental system ; and the public n arehouses were crowded with commodities that were to be sold to discharge the duties. Dispatches had been sent by a Courier Extraordi. nary, before the Gentleman alluded to left the Swe dish Captital, to the Court of St. Petersburgh, and duplicates of them were transmitted to Paris. It was universally understood, that they contain proposals fo r the surrender of Finland by the Emperor /Umtata:mit . It was expected that before the commencement of spring, the old King Will abdicate his throne in favour of his adopted son. From some cause Unexplained, Beamitoorra had given orders for the inspection of the military force of his kingdom, and for augmenting its strength to 80,000 men. It was generally reported that a war would break ode between Russia and France, and it is naturally conjectured that the mili tary preparations in Sweden were to be attributed to this apprehension. Although BERNADoTta has given the most eiplicit and solemn assurances of his protection to the mer chants, an irresistible conviction prevailed that he would be completely subservient to the designs of NAPOLION. Of the last convoy that sailed from Gottenburgh to the Baltic, consisting of one hundred ships, only three had been accounted for, and the MINOTAUR, which has been lost off the Haax, is one of them.— The convoy left the port on the 19th of November, to which it returned, and again set sail with a fair wind two days afterwards. Tusday evening, about five o'clock, as the Earl of NVINcneLSEA's carriage was coining into London, it was robbed of a large trunk, containing wearing ap parel, &c. to a considerable amount, although two servants were riding in the dickey. Yesterday 41 prisoners, male and fethale, were re moved from the different prisons in the metropolis; to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, preparatory to their trials at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, which com mence on Wednesday next. Yesterday, at the Westminster Sessions, Jas. Claris and others, were indicted for an assault. The prose cutor, whose name is Anderson, had a dispute some time ago with a woman who keeps an old iron shop in his neighbourhood (Green-streer,heat Berwicksstreet and being id the Haymarket to see the Vere•street gang pilloried, she gave the war•whoop, and cried out that the prosecutor Was —. The consequence was, that the mob turned their fury from the culprits, and directed it to the prosecutor, and it was with dif firuhk his life was saved. This was proved by respec• table witnesses ;_and it appeared that even when they returned to, his borne, they assailed him again, and one of them, vise the pristine, Clatke, broke his jaw. bone. For the defendants ; it turned out ; that the witnesses did not agree ih the testimony which they gave, and they were all found tluilty.---Thi Court sentenced Clarke (Who is a twopenny post letter cat de) to pay a fine of win to the kips.

NEWCASTLE, !ANUART rr Last wetk we gave an account of the loss of the Providence; a Shields collier, Upon Whitby rocks, to. ether with the master and five out of eight of his crew ' • another of then' wat stated to have been either killed or drowned by the breaking of a rope, by which some sailors were dtawibg hit' up to the top of the cliff. By a subsequent letter from our correspondent, we are glad to learn, that at the ebbing of the tide, some persbns endeaiouring to get round to the spot where the Vessel was Wrecked, in the hope of seeing part oUtiit fragments which had not been washed away, descried one of the people sitting npon a ledge of the cliff ) a few yards front the bottom, which proved to be the master of the vessel ; who, it appears, had actually fallen from , a considerable height, (though not so great a one as was at first said) by the berating of the rope; but being only a little hurt, he climbed up to the spot from'whence he was taken. Another of the crew was taken up, upon a small piece of the wreck. These poor men baying suffered greatly, were obliged to be supported into the town, where every necessary assistance and refreshment were afforded them. One of the sufferers is John Fairfoot, of Whitby, mate of the vessel, who has left a wife and six children in a state of absolute penury. ELIZABETH COUNTRY SHIP. Tht dreadful disastet of the loss of that ship sug gests some serious considerations, and demands imme diate inquiry.—She had sailed from Portsmouth in November, and had been obliged to Out into Clark, where she waited for a favourable wind. The current report is, that she was ordered back to England— to the Jjearee—in ordet to wait for a convoy. Whether this Was done by the tisVntrs, or suggested by the under: writers, is not mentioned. It was natural to order her to rep* to Fiddietth or Pip:abatis; where she would have been teady to join a convoy ; and thus have avoided the navigation of the Channel, difficult at all times, but highly dangerous at this time of the year, particularly to a vessel manned chiefly with Lescars, who are unable even to hold a rope in frosty weather. Instead of this easy and safe Mode, she is ordered to coast through the Channel into the Downs. The fate of the HALSZIVIILL, HINDOSTAN, AtICROA- ViNNY, and several other Indiamen—to say nothing of other ships—might have been teeollected. To th a t melancholy list the ELIZABITH has now been added. We mean to blame no one ; but we call on those whom it concerns to take measures to avoid accidents, by which so marty hundreds of our most valuable cotirw trymen are either plunged into the sea, or thrown into the hands of a merciless savage: A duel was fought on Satdrday morning, on Put ney Heath, between two Gentlemen of the names of FRANCIS and WILLAT, in consequence of a dispute respecting a bet on Milton's race. Mr. FRANCIS was seriously wounded in the knee. A great number of horses are now embarking at the Dock-yard, Portsmouth, to join Lord Welling ton's Arty in Portugal. The 54th Regiment, which has been for several years in the West Indies, having lately suffered very much from the climate, are ordered home. Lieutenant Paten, late of the SALVADOR, is Ap pointed Agent for French prisoners at the new dep& in Scotland. Captain PArrensoN, of the Royal Nary, late Agent for Prisoners of War at Portchester Castle, is ap. pointed to the command of the PUIssANT. The French prisoners much regret the loss they have sus tained by his removal ; for, during the time he has had charge of this large depot, every care and at tention has been paid to the comfort of the prisoners, who have received every kind of indulgence they could ask, compatible with the service. A Theatre has been fitted up in the Castle by a company of French 1 performers, who have been very successful in getting up several Melo-Dramas and light Comedies, which have been a great source of amusement for the dif- ferent families in the neighbourhood. A theatrical fete in honour of Captain Parreasost was given on Tuesday, at which ad the frequenters of theTheatre were invited : it went off uncommonly well, and had a v.eTy interesting effect. A letter from an Officer belonging to his Majesty's ship A rtz•ritusa, dated at Ferrol, states, that she had been nearly lost of the coast of Spain. While eruizing between Corunna and St. Andero, she was overtaken by a dreadful gale, which carried away her main and fore-top masts, mizen mast, spritsail yard, spanker- , boom. Etc. The gale increasing, she was tinder the necessity of throwing her quarter deck and forecastle guns overboard, and bore away for Corinna. Just as she had reached the latter place, the wind shifted suddenly, and drove her off the shore. The Violence of the gale did not, however, abate with the shifting of the wind, and she was twelve days exposed to the fury of the elements, during which she was several times nigh foundering: At length she had the good fortune tb rrsoh Fefrolj Where she arrived withodt as I kWh of isibiras, And nearly umnsualtabliii . _ . r", 15: - •r:777 , " sr. - 774, - 7717 . . • , • • " * • I.3TrEit.-•;3tIENoi 11Ytti8 , odroillift tear dayi *het, the taking of tinier:, Conchs, 4 - Alland4 Gedierres. and Rodrigues, She principal oonspitatort in CordoYa, my uncle Castelli Vrits patched thither, armed with full powers sir the Junta,' to punish these deliotjuents.

The plan of. Ltuiets was formed with the GoVaia non at Monte Video and Patsignay; the Intendant of Potosi, the President of Chariot, and several Public Officers of the Interior. It was as follows : Linters was to collect fifteen thousand nien in Cord , vat that same numbet Was to be sent from Potosi, Charms, Chuguisaea, and Cochabamba. The elovernor of Paraguay was to prerVide one thousand ;nen at the same depot. With these forcer Linter; was to pro teed to Sahta Pe, and co.opetating with fifteen thous sand men from Monte Video, and an armed flotilla, they were to surround and attack this rift, and hairs itig penetrated to the great squate, we/4 to take means that every Member of the Junta, and all its adherents, should be hanged. How this pileet has been disappointed, you ate already informed. • ' The further proceedings ate these . Another expedition has been sent front hem* td Pataguay, tinder the crimmand of a Menthe' of that Junta ; and hav;eg no doubt of the favourable dhow sition of the people chide, we are all confident bf it success: E. The Commander of the vahgtlard of Potcaliii . . consisting of 800 men, is at Tapiacat 450 leagues bent., end he has written to the Junta of this eapital that he holds his iiirce it its dispolal, and will awl Its mandates. S. After the Itiecess at Cordova, tie Statignafcl of lite victors proceeded towards Potosi; where they must be how arrived, as we long since heard that the were within twenty leagues of Tujuri, 4. In the middle of last month we discovered a plot of the Europeans, who had concealed arms, and who were to seine during the night; sill th e shipping to strengthen the Monte Video party: The conspirators are taken and will be executed. My uncle Castelli ceinfnencecl leis journey on the 15th of last month for Peru, as Plenipotentiary from the Punta of this city. Although We have not received a vial from the In. terior, we have sufficient to answer all demands for the public service.

Oct examining the desks, it was ascertained that cash add Wills, to the amount of stlooo, had been stolen: An express was sent off to Bow -street, and Lavender eras sent down,l and learned that there was a suspicious dlaracter. there. The officer, in consequence, went so his lodgings, and, atter searching them and him, he found the whole of the cash, notes, and bills, which had been stolen from the Bank ; also a quait dty of stationary which had been stolen from the bank at the same time ; together with som e li ne n, an d other property, whic had been stolen from other p trtr . sons in Winchester.
