Mr. PRAED moved the fecond reading of the Grand Jundlion Canal Bill. Mr. CARTWRIGHT felt it his duty to call the attention of the Houle to this Bill, the objedt of which was, to exempt the property to which it referred from the payment of the Poore Rate. At the tinse that an Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Whit bread) was taking mesfures to render perfonal property mote Itridtly the fubjedt of Poors' Rate, be was really Cuevas:el at a propolition of the nature of that which this Bill contained, and the preamble to it was truly curious, namely, that becaefe the pro perty of this Company was fubjedt to Tome litigation in confequence of the Prints' Rate, it was expedient that it fhould be altogether exempted from loch Rates. Mr. I'RAED Paid a few words, hut was quite inaudible. ?sir.

But yefterday afternoon, in obedience to his MAJESTY'S meffage, he fignified his acceptance of that office, and intimated to the KING, that, on or before Wednefday next, he will be able to fubmit for his gracious approbation the new arrangement which he is now forming. It would only be abufing the confidence of our readers, were we to pretend to (fate what the arrange ment will be. The rumours on this fubjeet are va. rious and contradiftory, according to the hopes, the wifhes, or party paffions of the individual projectors who give them currency. In faft, the public at large, we mean fuch as have attended to what has paffed in our political horizon for fome years, are juft as well qualified to form a probable opinion of the refult, as many of the fapient daily journals, who pretend to know every thing. Laft night, a large company of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who are to compote the New Adminiftra tion dined with his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND at Burlington Houfe, when the propofed arrangement was difeuffed and fettled in all its pans, as far as it can be fettled, till the King's pleafure is known. Matters are underftood to be in fuch forwardnefs, that the plan can be fubmitted to his MAJESTY on Monday, and the principal appointments be an• nounced in the Gazette of Tuefday. Among the Noblemen and Gentlemen who dined with the Duke of PORTLAND yeflerday, were, The Earl of CAMDEN, Lord HAW[ISEURY, Lord CASTLI. REACH, Lord ELDON, Mr. Rose, Mr. CANNING, Mr Sruacts BON a NE. Mr. SHERIDAN, on being arrefted by the Serjeant at Arms for non-attendance in his place, on a call of the Houfe, good-humouredly exclaimed, " This is rather " too hard, to be horned out of plate, and taken into 4043 on one and the fame day !" -• ' INDIA.

JAMAICA. Under the proper head will be F.l:nd Eztrads e. every thing worthy of !mike, found in the Jamaica, Papers received by the Mad of yelerday. We art concerned, however, to (late that, private letters give reafon to apprehend, that in one or two parithes, a fpitit of revolt has (hewn itfelf among the Negroes, as our Readers wilt fee by the two that are fubjoined: " JAMAICA, JANUARY 7. " M alarming difturbanccs have broken out among the Raves in the parilhes of Portland and St. George's, and in which the Maroons of thofe parithts are implicated. The fpirit of infur redtion keens to pervade alma the whole county of Surrey. " I was in Kingiton on Saturday laft, the 2d infiant, when in. formation was received by the Senior Magiftrate, that an attempt would be made that very night to burn down the city of Kingiton, ball cartridges were immediately dealt out, and the Militia had orders to affemble at the Court Houfe, without beat of drum, on the evening of that day. The ftreets were patroled during the night, and every thing tremaired quiet when I left town on Sun- day forenoon ; but fo great vies the fear of fuch an attempt being made, that it was in contemplati,m, not only to call out all the militia, but to caufe the other inhabitants to arm, and patrole the ftrects during the night." " INGSTON, JAN. II xBO7. " We have experienced much uneafinefs here, in confequence of the revolt of the Negroes, in two parifhes. The Governor has been very adlive ; and fortunately all is quiet again. Three thoubod Negroes were concerned, and it was at one time much feared 67.: the Maroons had joined them. We were one night dreadfully alarmed at Kir gfton, tome French Negroes having been overheard while concerting a plan to burn the city. Guards have beim mounted for fcvcral nights " Tnefday, Lord CATCHCART, the Commander in Chief in Scotland, infpeeted the hoops in Glafgow. On Saturday la(I, the 2d Battalion of ►he Royal were inipefled at Hatt:.ngs, by Brigadier•Generat DvoT r. They have been completed to too° effeetive men, horn the 3d and 4th Battalions ; and ate now on their march to 1 1 (ml:iv:nth, where they are to embark for the Eaft Indies, under the command of Lieutenant Celonel STLWART. Yefierday fe'nnight, that fine regiment, the sth dragoon guards, had a field day, and vent through a variety of manoeuvre , , as well upon the lands bc• tween kingfend and Blackro , 7lr, as in other parts of the viciniey of Dublin ; they were exercifed for fornt hours, and gave the greatefl fatisfa6tion to all th: General, Staff and Field Officers who were prefent ; their band, which appeared to be full and complcie, had a fine effed. No Mails have yet arrived from the Continent , but fome accounts have been brought by thips from the coati of Holland, which (late, that a few days fence, a report prevailed at Rotterdam, of a great battle hay. ing been fought on the 26ili of February, in which the Ruffians were repulfed with great lofs ; but that. to fecure the repofe of the French army during the remainder of the bad weather, the cantonments have been confiderably withdrawn from their advanced pofition, as being too much expofed to the repeated, though fruirkfr attacks of the " barbarians "—This rumour of a battle on the 26th, perhaps relates to that of the i 6th, the French account of which has alr each , appeared. Of the retreat of the enemy we have little doubt. We are anxious for the arrival of intelligence from the Continent, fi,r fome great and important change in the (tate of affairs must loon take place. • The Ne• gociations at Warfaw mutt end in fome pofitive de. termination. BONAPARTE will never fuller Aufhia to remain in her prefent indecition. In his prefent fituation, all his motions are neceffarily cramped by the apprehenfion, at lea ft, of her poffible ho(lility.— A movement of the Auflrian ;tunics might, in a moment, cut off his fupplies ; and, in the prefent eir cum(tances of the campaign, endanger fir): very exi,:• ence of his Army. Is it credible, therefore, that Bowarears, with his charaaerillic arrogance and ambition, will fuffer the farthcr cont;;,ll.ince of chi , : (fate of things ? What, then, will be his probable courfe ? He will endeavour eitha to ()Jibe Aultria. or, what is perhaps (till worfe, to awe or corrupt her Councils. F 1 It is indeed no lefs lamentable than true, that the French intrigues have obtained a moo unnatw'l prevalence even in the veto rrf Andria. L was fo in Fruffia, and hence the alternate tefoltritd, and timidity of that uttliapp) Gove: nment. There was an Opplition which was polVerttil enough to render the heti refalurions nuktoi y, if not to procure the execution :if the word. ‘Ve much tear—we fay it with regret, but we do not lay it withotit lufficient grounds, that there h fornething of 'he fame kind in the prefent Aullrian C.tbine:. The Archduke CHARYES, the belt hr , pe of Europe and hi s own Houle, has too long and too It:cceftfully keen uppofed by this teeter party.
