I wills to know what the ;.tttlemen on the other fide would have thought if r. had been prefented earlier. Would they have 'iforfijered it honourable or candid to have had it 1 on the table at the beginning of the Seflions, and confideration of it deferred till the prefent time ? I t was thought better to prefent it when it could be t7.lten into confideration." Mr. FREEMANTLE.—" The Petitioners are ecttainly to judge for themfelves. I can 'only fay, 'hat I am extremely gratified that the moment has A length arrived at which this fishjed has been i ,a,lght forward. (Near, hear, hear Ido molt ordially afrent to the produCtion of this Petition. I • have the means of completely anfwering it. I 4 ve 0017 one thing to add, I wilh to make this oh ,"„tion. lam told that it is ufual to give infor ation to the oppofite patty when a petition is about t t e piefented, which is of a pet conal nature. That h:rtation I have not received. When I'came to Houle I was wholly ignorant of it, except from .1. or. I now am ready to anfwer the Petition." STURGES BOURNE—" The [-lon. Gen .etnan appeared to look round the IlLufe, to fee whe .',cr it was a hill attendance. The ohjed of the ketitioners is to have their Petition confidered in a fci, Houle. It is not.matarial that the lioufe (horrid be full when the Petition is prelente,:. I Rated, that it would have been unpleafant to the Gentlemen on the other fide to have had fuch a Petition laying a long time upon the table." Lordt HOIVICK.—" It is hardly necefrary fur me to make a fingle obfervatior, whether it was right or wrong to delay the Petition ; the charge is undoubtedly of a very fet ions nature. It is no light Matter that thofe who are entrulled with the powers of Government, fhould tire dolt: powers to influence an elehion ; but when you confi ler what the nature of the charge is, and that it involves a Breach of the privilege of Padiament ; when }too confider that it is the pradice of this Houle to podpone every otl,er confideration to the vindication of its privileges, and that, if a charge of this nature can be fupported, tt:e Houle will always enter into it previous to the confft. deration of any other public butincfs. I under dude circusnllances, conceive that it is the dirty of a Member, having filch a charge to make, to bring it forward at the earliefl time pflible.— The Learned and Honourable Gentleman has told us, that it was the with of the Pctitionets to have the Petition prefented as early as [wattle ; hot he silks whether it would have hen lair and honour able to have laid it on the table b.fore the Peti tioners were- prepared to proceed. He thinks, however, that there w. , s neit;rer a want cf candour, fairnefs, hollow, or liberal feeling, in circi:iating throughout the county rumours of the moll fcanda louts nature, witlvr.ut putti , .g it in the power of any of their patties charged, to ktriw what il,. charge was. Was it a fair and cand;J, proceeding, not to acquaint the Hots. Gentleman who was the objed cf this perfonal a; tack, that it was intended to be brought forward ? ( Heir, afar! repealed acciamatir;ns) I leave the Houle to form is judgment upon loch condud. When the fobjed comes to be confidered, I unit the privileges of the Houle will, if they have been violated, be, in the firil place, vindicated ; but if it (hall be found to be a light and frivol:pis charg e , I alto ti till the H ute will expr?fs its fenfe of it."

Mr. HOWORTH rife, and beggel leave to put a quefllsn to the Rig! - or Haltom able Gentleat In at the head of the Board of Controtil, rela , ive to the mutiay which was 114:ed to have taken place at ore of the Britilh lilt:en - es in the Eaii Indies. It had heen confidently alferted, and nut contradieted, that this mutiny had broken out at one of our garri.ons in Arcot, and that, in cor.fequence diet col, above a thoufand lives of natives and English had been Intl in ruppreffing the tumult. To what this dreadful eitcumfla: ce owed its origin, or whether it was the lefult of any at-hit:at y, unneceffary, filly, or unkil t;fiable mealme, was not now his pnrp fe to invelli gate : he would only ohferve, that if it was impulahle t" the cattle% he had heard, it was lufticient to excite alarms for our vet y exillence in India, and ce; thinly ought to undergo the moll ferious emptily ; more especially as we were now fending alit a new Chief Governor, and a new• Commander in Chierta upon whom it wac of the utmoil importance to itn prefs the necelfary iollruNions for the cord•te9 to be adopted towards the natives. He, therefore, v. ilfrcd to know whether any difpatches had been received by the Dirceorr, explanatory of the caufe and extent of the unhappy occiunence to which he alluded. Mr. TI.E.RNLY anfwered,that he was tt;a Inquired at the anxiety entertained hy the Hon. Metuf:cr anon this point ; but he was fotry not to have it in his powr to give him any information ti pan the fubjeCt. No difpatches had yet been received by the Cow t 4 Direelors upon this topic ; and whenever any fl u aild arrive, he would take the earließ oppottani!y of lay ing them beloie the Honk. But as the new Govertwr General and Conanay.der in Chief were appointed for India, and about to proceed on their dettination. the biota. Gentleman would hardly dern it realbnaLle to detain thcm in this country, until the very uncer tain time at which difpatches might arrive. Reliance multi therefore be placed upon their difcre:ion, for adopting, on their arrival, the bell meafures their jadgment fintll it;rett under cu lling circuroltances.

A letter to a tef i reetable houfe in the City, c , ,ftains the following abilraft from the FORTY NINTH BULLETIN. " Vearfaw, January R. " Brefl iw has furrendered. Brieg, Schwtidnitz, Knit', Cullizrg, and Dantzic will be immediately befieged. Oar light cavalry is in the titighb”url.ool of Konigfberg. The Ruffians c:mtinue to retreat towards Gr , idno. Baron De Vincent has hr , tight letters from rlie Emperor of Authia to l.is at Warfaw." On this Bulletin we may ol'etve that excepting the altrtic,n that the Ruffians are tetreativ, upon Grodno, it contains nor info' mation relpthing the operations er pofitions of the two armies. It is fcatctly pctlible that fome imp. rtant occurrences tly:uld not have taken place between the ill of Janu ary (when, it may be -ecolleaed, General Cum NFAV, at the head of fome light cavalry, fee nut in purfuit of the Ruffians . % and the date of this laft Bulletin : and yet, with refped to any fuch events, the Fmty Ninth Bulletin is wholly filent. As to the tlatement of the light cavalry approaching Konigf berg, it it too 'note to merit obfetvation. The mist:- bourbccd r.f Kon;gfberg, according to the Ft ench made ' of jumping over fpace and time, may mean arty diC Wee within fifty or fixty miles of that fortrefs. But on the other hand, we may prefume, that had any new hat•lt r f importance taken ph:ce in Pr,lland, fome notice would have been taken cf it in the Bulle tin—even it it had been adverfe to the French ; for according to their ufual policy, it'wnuld have been mentioned as a feint—a flcitm4h—or lime unfuccefs ful attempt of the Ruffians.

In the Duchy if Nlecklenburgh remain at prefent but very few French troops, molt CI them having marched to Prutlia. In the mean time the country is treated in the moll hotlile manner; in the towns all forts of goods are taken away on pretence of their bting Englilh ; contributions of every defcription are levied on the country, and the Duke's arms replaced by thole of the French Emperor. At ltibnitz aswell as Demmin,demonftrations have been made to crofs over to this fide, and to condru& 1 )1 idges for that purple. At Meyenkebspafr a norm threw a confiderable quantity of timber colleeted for the confirtittion of bzidges on the Swedillt fide, which the commanding officer of the Swedifh chaffeurs lia tioned there, leired upon, and 1 - 6:fled the demand of the French officers who reclaimed.it, w ith contempt.

On the B,h intl. the Calypfo hii;ate was launched L'Oriert. On the 901,2 n Engli(h bt ig, I.tden with coals, was brought into Port Liberty, being captured by the Glaneur privateer from St. Maln.

On the 4th, about eleven in the forenoon, two French (hips were chaced by an enemy's ft igate upon the coati near Port St. Nicholas. A detachment of the 47;h regiment immediately repaired to the place. About two o'clock the fire of cannon and mufketry was heard ; the troops from the barrac ks of St. Nichn las and Q2ilhuit, the artillery men, and the Cullom Houle officers, had joined the 47th, and kept up an incefrant fire upon the frigate and the floeps which neared the coal', in order to get pofreffi )n of the two • veffils they had chaced. One of thefe they captured, bat could not take the other, as the enemy's ',loops had a number of men wounded, and one killed, who was thrown overboard. The French fcarcely loft a man. They remained on the beach all night, but the enemy did not return. Officers, foldiers, ar tillery, &e. all did their duty. On the Ernie day three Englilh &gips landed near the village La 'retie, not far from Bourdeaux. They had about tlo men, led by three officers ; and their o'ojeet WAS to take a battery which defended that pat t of the coat}, and was manned with i 8 men, who, feeing the Hp.,ffibi lity of de: - tnding it, rafted their rt.t. eat, not with (landing the ann:iyance tht.y experi.

A Mal has arrived at Falmouth, brought by the Pi i-rce of Wales peke!, in thirteen days from Lifly , n. '['he accounts received by this co, , veyance (late that the King of Spain has been very much indifpufed for Come time, and that the power and influence of the Prince of the Peace were every day acquiring addi tional (lrength and extent. Senatqr BEAUHARNk;IS, the French Ambairador, had arrived at Madrid, where his pretence, it is laid, produced Tome Implea , rant apprehenfions. His v,fit was fuppofed to he for quite a contrary purpofe, than that of conferring be nefirs upon the Spanifh nation. It appears that, previ us to his fi.ll interview m ith the Prince of the Peace, he was kept a confiderable time in wait ;rig— a circumlllince from which the fpecuktors at Madrid I drew conclufions not very favourable to the cordia lit', which was prefumed to exill between tl,e Courts of France and Spain. AMERICAN PAPERS. By the Wilinsnß packet, at-lived at Falmouth in 27 days from New• York, we have received Newf. papets to the 12th ult. No aEtual hoflilities had as yet taken place between the Silaniards and Americans under General Wm- Kitisow. The negociati9ns hill continued. By a Report made to Congers by the Secretary to the American Navy, it appears that 56 gunboats re ready f, , r lea, and that meafures are taking for build ing 63 more in the comic of the relent year. This armament is laid to be employed in defending the has tv)urb of America againll the Europeans.
