T thought the elaufe went to affea the principle of the Militia policy altogether. He difapproved of any thing that Is ent to encourage any pecuniary commu tation for aanal fervice. Mr. H. THORN I'ON Paid a few words in favour of the claufe, which was then negatived without a divifi n . Upon the quenion being put for the third reading of the Bill, Mr. D..GIDDY declared, that nnr infular fitua• Lion, which was confidered by many as the greaten boaß of Engli(hmen, was, in his opinion, at an alar ming cribs, the greaten fource of appreitenfon. From that very conlideration, it was men particularly ne• ceffary that the Legiflators and Governors of the Country fhould take molt efpecial care that at the time of any incurfion of the enemy, (as filch an event was laid to Le daily apprehended) that at the time of Inch an event taking place, the fkength of the Country fhould rant be too much concentrated : it was receffary undoubtedly that we have fome place of general depot, but it was incumbent on us to take care that there were feveral fmaller depots to conned vi h it, and above all, that we fhould keep up an in timate conflation with Ireland. Lord CASTLEREAGH Allred the Hon. Mem ber that the Aka which he had in view had not efcaped the attention of Government. That defect could only be fupplied by means of a large Militia force. And with refpet to that part of the country upon which it was molt probalrte that a defcent would be made by the enemy (Ireland), it was feen that the military force was at plefent too moth concentrated, and Government had determined on fpreading the military force more eqnally round that conntry. Mr. SHERIDAN exprtflld great fatisfaetion at the attention which had been paid to the Militia force, and hoped that fome attention would be paid to the inequality of the ballot. The Bill was then read a third time and palled. Mr. SHERIDAN Rated that, as the trial Difarm ing Bill, and another quenion (the Refolution inten ded to be prapofeci by Mr. Bankes, founded on the Refolution of the Houfe relative to the granting of Places in Rever lion) were to c• me before the Houle on Friday, and were likely to give rife to confiderable difcuffion, he would, for the convenience, arid with the leave, of the Houfe, pullpone his motion relative to the State of Ireland to Monday next. The Order was made out accordingly. Upon the third reading of the Irifh Militia Tranf fer Bill, Lcrd CASI'LEREAGH brought up a elude, autht riling the men to colilt into the marines, if they !tmid think fit. The claufe was added by way of rider to the Bill, which was •ead a third rime and panel General TARLETON prcfented a Petition from Meffrs. Black burnt and Benner brewers, at I Inn in Norfolk, and All ”ne from the inhabitants of the roan, complaining of the undue influence and arbitrary proc , cdinp of the Mietrates of that Borough, in withholding PA: Means' Licences, which was received and ordered to lie on the table —Adjourned.

It is affirmed that Government have received a copy of the Treaty of Peace between France and Ruflia.

The patriotifm and unanimity which has been dif played at the different town meetings, called in con fequence of the cowardly and inhuman attack of the Britifh fhip of war Leopard, on the United States ft i gate Chefapeak, mull be truly grateful to the feelings of every American. It will prove to our enemies aad to the world, that however we may be divided on local confederations, we will, when the moment of danger arrives, or when the honour of the country is infulted, and its laws fet at defiance, cordially Unite for the common defence. We hope the fpirit of the people will be communicated to their Admi. niilration, and that they will adopt meafures at once vigorous,•honourable and effeeive. The unanimous elettion of two Gentlemen of dif ferent politics to fill the offices of Chairman and Se cretary to the Meeting held in the Park yeflerday, is a proof of the fincere defire of all to factifiee on the altar of patriotifm every political animofity, and cheerfully to co.-operate with the nation at large, in their determination to refill aggreffion, from what ever quarter it may come. is At a General Meeting of the Citizens of New York, held in the Park, on Thurfday, July 2, iBo7, the Hon.

The whole fix were leen going out of the Capes that morning: CHARLESTON, JULY s. In the month of March, the Ha Lt rex Poop of war, commanded by Lord Towasa END, was lying in Hampton Roads, and one of her boats, with four men and a petty officer, was lent on tome duty.— Being out of the reach of the guns of the Halifax, or being unobferved, the men role upon the officer, and once threatened to throw him overboard; this, how ever, they did not do, but pulled for the Ihore, which they reached, and proceeded for this place, where they entered with an officer then engaged in the enlißment of men for the Chefapeak. A formal demand was made to have them delivered up. The civil authority refuted to interfere, and the officer who had enlified them did not think himfelf au ho. tired to deliver them without orders from his fupe riors. . The cafe was reprefented, we believe, at Wallington, but what palled there on the fubjea we know not. The men were not delivered tip, and were believed to be on board the Chefapeak. We are confident that a reprefentation of the cafe was made to the Britifh Government, whole orders, we apprehend, were to take the men wherever they were to be found. Our readers will be informed that the LIOPAID arrived here only a few days fince, and brought the orders of the Admiral at Halifax to take the men at all events and under any circumflances. It may be objeaed that there has nut been time to hear from England fince the circumftance repeaing the Halifax occurred, which we think was about the gth or roll of March, but we know that anfwe.s to letters written to London ablate as the 2oth of March have been received here—Char/eel:ln Loftier. VIOLATION or NNUTR•LITY.—The foil ,wingfaas are fur ntthed us by Captain Clark, who arrived this afternoon from Norfolk—they were communicated to him by Captain Crolby : " The French Ibip Patriot, rumor the fin t ir 012 lately commanded by Jerome Bonaparte, now lying below Norfolk, and where the has been lying for fome months, being blockaded by feveral Britifh fa. gates, lately fitted out a pilot boat as a. privateer, manned her with about thirty men well aimed, and fent her upon a cruize.

The next day, Captain Crolby was boarded by the Britifh thip Bellona, of 74 guns, Commodore Douglas, the Melampus frigate, and the tender to the Commo dore.
