MALTA, yiNudatr so. Rear Admiral Sir Ric WARD BICRIRTON caned from hence a few days fines in the Kewr, of 74 guns, to join Lord Nstsow. It is Rrongly reported here, that the Toulon fquadron are oat ; ►t has certainly been long in toll preparation, with a confiderable body of troops on board : the enemy's force confills of so fail of the line, 6 frigates, and 5 Reaps ; the whole evidently defined for fosse keret expedition. Troops are hourly expelled to be embarked from ' hence on fome fervice, for which the whole garrifon is impatient. Colonel PHILLIPS, as Chief Draft[ man, is gone to reconnoitre the enemy's works, and, as we fuppofe, preparatory to our expedition. The 35th Rands the fira regiment for duty, and a finer, or better difciplined body of men, are not to be found in the fervice. Ws think that a Rrong force will be fent from hence to Egypt. We are gay, and happy as we could with, and (often the neceffary feverities of difcipline by occafional galas, balls, card panics, and fpr►ghtly eonverzationes. On the illth intl. we had a fuperb Ball, in honour of her Ma's sry's birth day, attended by all the Maltefe Nobleffe, richly habited s the Officers of the garrifon were of courle in their full uniforms : the Military dined with Ge neral Vittrhas, and the Navy with Sir Atha::- : DS/ BaLL.

Thefe words had made part of the two Ads of the 4ad and 43d of his pre fent Maeay, which Ads were repealed by the pre fent Bi ll, and he thought it extremely important that they fhould be continued. Since the principle of exemption had been adopted, he thought it would be but fair in the Legiflature, to fignify that all the Volunteers Ibould be admitted to the advantages of it. Many Corps had enrolled themfclves, tinder the perfuation, that if they once became intitled to the privilege of exercption, it would be continued to them, notwithilanding the Government might find it necetiiary to make any augmentation to the national defence. If fucks were the opinion of Government, he thought it nccelTary that it fhould be avowed in fame explicit thape, and that the words of the firmer Aft, fhould be employed as nearly as eireundlances may permit. LordHAWKESBURY (spoofed the Noble Earl's amendment, upon the principle that it tended to bind the power of future Parliaments; an attempt on the futility of which he would not detain their Lordflsips by any endeavour to raife an argument on it. Circnmflances may arife which would jußify furore Parliaments in eflablifhing other modifica• tions of the principle of exemption. and be thought it would be wrong in their Lordfhips to attempt to do that which they cer:ainly were not competent to do, namely, to letter the difcretion of thole who were to tueceed them. He admitted that any pro- mile held forth by one Parliament was binding on !hc honour, but not OR the power, of a fubfequent PAili•mtnt. . . . Lord GRENVILE J condemned the principle rtranced hv the Noble St rrtt.m....ai State. that the flipulations oecallonally entered into by Parliament were not binding on fobfequent Parliaments, His Lordfhip emphatically required to know, upon what other, fecurity did the public creditor rely for the paynient of the intereft of the loans be had ad vanced to the State. He had no ftronger fecurity than a refolution of the Legiflature, that his interefl fhould be regularly paid : and if that refolution, or the general principle upon which it, as well as the amendment propofed by his Noble iend, was found ed, fhould be lightly or capricioufly violated, the very foundation of the Conflitution would be fliaken:-.- Although no friend to the principle of exemptions, he was for maintaining faith towards the VolUnteers. and would therefore vote for the amendment. A very long difcufEnn took place, in which the amendment was fupported by the Duke of Mon trofe, Earl Carnarvon, and Liird King; and oppofed by the Lord Chancellor, Lill& Ellenborough. Ho bart, and Auckland, when the queftion was at length put. Contents 4—Non-contents 34—Majority so. Earl SPENCER gave notice, that as the pro. prict of the amendment he had introduced had bees ' partially acceded to, he would take another opportu nity of bringing the fabllance of it before their Lord fhips, moll_ probably when the report came to be made on the Bill. Lord GRENVILLE, on the ending of the fixth dance, propofed that the exemptions fhould be ex tended to all corps of Volunteers now in exigence, as well to thofe who, by the tams of their ferviee, difelaimed them. as thofe who did not. By the turns on their Lori:Mips' table, the accuracy of which was extremely queftionalltle, it appears that out of 380,000 Volunteers, them were not above four or dee thoufasol who were not entitled to ex emptions. He thought, that if any compliment were due to any portion of that force, it was tatbat part of it which voluntarily came forward, notwith- Rending they untlerftood that they were not to be entitled to the fame advantages with the left of the Volunteers. He deprecated the idea of malting any dißinftion between them in point of exemption ; and therefore recommended, that all that part of the clanfe which eftablilhed fuels diftindion, fhould be omitted. The amendment was oppofed by Lords Hobart, Hawkdbury, and the Chancellor, and fupported by the Duke of Moatrofe, Lords Romney, Carnarvon, Bolton, and King, when the Houfe divided— Contents t4—Non -contents 34—Majority so. When (rangers were re.admitted, Lord GREN VILLE was addreffing their Lord(hips on the ex creme impolicy of granting exemptions to Volunteers whofe Cervices might be accepted, in addition to the number adually cu fling. Having expatiated at Conic length upon the fabled, his Lordfhip moved, that the words of the ciente, " as (ball hereafter be ac cepted" be left out. Lord HOBART oppofed the amendment. Lord KING remarked, that the claufe, as it thin Rood, would, if agreed to, give to Government a difcretionary power, the exerede of which, bethought, ought not to be lodged in his Majelly's Millais's, in whom the country had no confidence, and whofe difmilTal would communicate more fati:faßion than the molt brilliant vilory our arms could obtain. Lord HAWKESBURY argued again% the Amendment, which was fupported by Lords Hat lower and CAILMARVOII• _____ • __. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it would be more parliamentary in noble Lords, who afforted that his Majefty's tenants did not pole(' the confi dence of the country, to bring forward an enquiry into their condua, and to move an humble Addrefs to his/Majefly, than to confine themfelves to Rate. meats of fo lode a nature. Lord GRENVILLE maintained, that it was in. ' cumbent on every Member of Parliament, who had jolt grounds, to Rate his opinion of the incapacity of Miniders ; and he had, for his own part, no difficulty in laying, that in the abilkies, charaders, and capa• cities of his Majelly's prefent fervent', colledively taken, there was nothing to jnilify the confidence of the country. The queßion being at length put, that the words or (hall be" Rand part of the sdaufe, it WAS carried in the affirmative. The queltion was then put " that this clank do (land part of the Bill." Lord DARNLEY propeed an Amendment, pot porting to extend the exemption to fuch Volunteers only as had offered theinfelves for general fervice. This, after a difeuffion of above an hour, in which it was fupported by Lord GRIII•ILLE, and oppofed by Lords AUCKLAND, HAWICESIBUItY, HOBART, and CHISTSITIILD, the Noble Lord withdrew, for the purpofe of amending it, by changing the general ferrite to fervice within the military diftrid in which ' fuch carps Ihthald be; which, after a difcuirson of another hour, was negatived upon the quell*, and the original claufe agreed to, wizen the further pro. grefe was deferred till Monday, to which day the Houfe adjourned at twelve o'clock.

Mr. FRANCIS Paid, that on the tsth of last month, he had the honour of fubmitting to the Houle a motion relative to the whole circumaancet attend• ing the Mahratta war, but which /potion he bad withdrawn, for various reafons which were then Rated. He had lately ken in the public prints, an account of many very important events which had taken place in India, and he thence concluded that his Majelly's Miniaers, or the Court of Directors, had now receiv ed further particulars as to the fubjed of his propofed enquiry. It would be necefeary thortly to bruig there new incidents before the Houle; in order that the Noble Lord oppofite to boa ( Lord Caillerugh /Wight have an opportunity to explain the real flats of the Leeds. With refped to the military operations in In dia, it was ne material part of his enquiry, whether they were vidories or defogs. The war he alluded sp might be jolt, and its dials' good, bat yet it might be untuccefsful. On the other hand, it might be contrary to found policy and Junin, and never thetas might be extremely faccefsful.

Lord CASTLEREAGH Rated, that the Sums redo= which had formerly prevailed with the Hon. Member to withdraw his motion (till fulifilled, and operated to induce him (his Lordibip) to oppof the pfefent one. He had formerly pledged Winkle to afford every poffible information on that important fubjed. From the isth of lalt month, down to ehe prefent moment, no (tired communication, either by land or by lea, had been received from the Govern., meat of BengaL Government had only 'received an. counts of the late fucceffes in India by overland die- patches from the Prefidency of Bombay. The fith. ed of there communications was per fe ctly diath dt from the merits of the principles on which we had gone to war with the Mahratta Powers. He wale however, Perfectly willing to thralls that touter up. on its own ground. He thought it neceffary at pet fent to (fate that no intelligence had been cc ci vg 4 from the GOvernor Gellert.' of Bengal later than the 6th of June lea. Fie had pco• doubt that as much in formation had been conveyed from the Marquis of Wellelley, as was podible at that particular tithe. It ' wee inipoffible to form any correct judgmeat froth the information already procured.

Mr. JOHNSTONE expreffed roue aamillimens at andertianding from the Noble Lord that Minifters had not as yet received any account of the commence ment of a bufinefs, though a great part of its progrefs wu univerfally known throughout the empire. He then argued that, from the pofition of General Lake, the intelligence of anterior date which was required. Ibould have alto now arrived. The Honourable Member then pointed out three different opportuni ties at which the accounts might have been lent after the holtilities had commenced. The At of Parliament is in this cafe peremptory, and orders that the Governor-General fliall fend his difpncluts by the quickell conveyance poffiWe. He did not mean to impeach the character of the Governor-Ge neral in the flighteft degree, but Curdy, whelp, fa many opportunities of fending the information were known of, and when the magnitude of the ruts& was coofidered, it was becoming the dignity of Par.
