Slk HOME P3PHAM. About half pa.. It two o'clock Mr. WAITHMAN brought forward his promifed Motion for having the Vote of Thanks to Sir Home Popham, for the very important fervices rendered to his country, in the capture of Buenos Ayres, and the Refo lotion on that account to prefent him w I t a (word, value zoo gui. peas, refcindcd from the Journals. In propoling this Motion, the worthy gentleman declared, he thould not have cheated it neceftsry ter have done mote, than limply to love hated, that the Court had not the real merits of the qtterlion before them, when they prematurely and improperly allowed themfelves to be drawn into the vote in queltion, did he not underhand that there were Gentlemen wbo would go the length of contending that the vote was proper, arid ought dot to be refcinded. He prefumed, that if he could thew that the conduit of Sir Home Popham had been fuck as would induce the Court, were the queilion now before them on the original Motion, to lay that the Vote ought not to be granted, he mull equally prevail in having it refcineed from the Jour naffs t elfe this abfordity would eucte, that hating once fallen into an improper aB, it could on no ac• count be correlled. The worthy Gentleman then proceeded to thew that Sir Home Popham had trar fgrefled his orders in proceeding with the whole naval force which had been entruffed to him for the (faience cf . the Cape to the River de la Plata. That hit refolution to do fo was fuggefted folely from the erpedlation of plunder and booty—that with this view he ereiled himfeli into a Flag Offiter, that he might have an eighth of the *hole plunder there procured —that he was on the point of letting out on this ez pedition without a tingle foldier, depending on his naval force alone, till he at length induced General Baird, by a promife of two fifths of his share of the booty, to fend with him the 73d regiment—that by leaving the Cape he expofed it to the attack of the enemy—that on his arrival at St. Helena he induced the Governor of that place to allow him to tarry off great part of the troops intended for its protellion, but whom lte promifed thuuld be immediately fent back, thereby expoling it too to imminent danger. — That he wrote to different commercial bodies in this Country, recommending to them to (peculate to Buenos Ayres, having himfclf no adequate means of information on that fahjeet. That for his conduit in thefe refpeas he had been tried by a Court Mar tial, and had been reps intended as guilty of breach of orders. All thole wete eh - cur:Mantes not in the knowledge of the Coos t it the time it palled the re folution in queltion, in the knowledge of which it could not have palled them, and which being now known, rendered it neceilary for the Court to refeind its premature acts. Ile concluded by moving— " That this Court having, on the zd of Gaither, s BM% refolved to thank Commodore Sir Horne Popham. for the very import= t fervices rendered by him in the capture of Buenos Ayres, at once opening a new fource of Commerce to the manufadorics of Great Britain, and depriving her enemies of one of the richelt and molt eaten five Colonic, in her poileflion ; and alto to prefent to him a Sword, of the value of zoo guineas : And it appearing from dr cumtlanem, which have fince tranfplrcd. that the Paid dons wtrt prematurely and improperly entered into, this Court are of npiidon, that they ought to be expunged front the Journal s of its proccialings," The motit.n being feconded, Mr. SA must. Duos role to give his moll decided oppofition. This was not a motion direded againfl Sir Home P.,pliam becaufe he had aeled unbecoming his cliaraaer, but becaufd he had endeavoured to throw additional lufire on his profetlion by achiev ing an at not expelled from him under the thief and cold letter of his inflruainns.

He was to be fiigmatifed becatif: he had g lined.and bad not, like the gallant Brigadier General Cranford, loft a valuable territory. Mr. jartss Ditne fad. in the event of the motion being carried be thould follow it up by moving, as Sir How Popham had no occafion for a tword, - hay. ing prekrved his own, that the (word voted to him timid be prefented to General Cranford, who had log his.

CHlNA.—Extrall of a Letter from a Gentleman lately refident Li China, dated Canton, April ' 4 The affair between the Englifh Company and the Chinefe Government, is at length adiufled. After many meetings, chin chinnings, &c. &c. the Chinefe Government ordered up fir trial the fifty two tailors belonging to the Nep unc. that were on liberty when the affray happened. This order was complied with on the pat t of the Company, and about the 25th of March the fifers arrived in Canton, under the pito. tabor' °fa company of Marines, from the Li In 'hip of war. After they had reached Canton, the Man deans intimated that they mull Le taken inside the city for examination. This was refelutely op. poled, and it was finally agreed that the trial (ho rid be held in the Company's Old Faeloty ; the lower part of which was accordingly fitted up in great Ityle. with yellow and ctinsfon filk carpets, culhions, ch art, tables, &c. &c. the whole intended to reprefent the Emperor's Court. The bufinef. now appeared fa. vourable. but was loon. (haded by another (crimp; occurrence—the Mandarin, who was to fie in awnt judgment, re - piled, that the Chief of the Company, the Captain of the Lion, and the Commodore the Company's fhps, Qt , ulsl not be permitted to fir .n his pretence dining the trial. This was not accede.: to, and threats were uttered on the par t of the Britiiis. The- Mandarin was equally obiliaate, and the bufinel. aff tined a vers• fetious afpeel. As the Mandarin could no: come bin:fell. or fend one of high order, he fen„ n Who was wiliing t 'at the B:i;ifh Should fit at their eafe in gumd elbow whirs. Thus at ranged, about the 6th intiant, the rri..l commenced, and of 52 Garry.. t t %ere &feet( I as the Moll guilty, and laid over to: further proof. On the 9th the eleven were again btonght up for trial, and two %vete feletflal as the guilty perfuns, who were again laid over for hitcher investigation. On the eleventh the two were again brought forward, one of them adjudged guilty, and ordered to he kept in poffedion of the Company until the pleafure of the Emperor Shall be known. The Britifh (hips are now loading, and will fail in about a fortnight. What fate awaits the failor retained is uncertain ; but it is probable that the Mandarin. wood.: rather touch a few of the fecurity merchants dollars, and keep the affair from the Emperor, than retaliate the outrage spina their c , untrymen. In this car:, not Ids than one hundred thonfand dollars will be neceffary to patch up the affair."
