regulars in the fira inflance. It had been atguel as ii we had no difpofable force ; but the 'aft was, that we had at prefent a difpofable force of 7 0,c00 men, rank and file. Let it not, therefore, lee fuppofed or bid, that we were without a difpolable force. Mr. CANNING arked why the thirties to be rail ed might not be railed in complete independent re gimenu ? He condemned Minillers , for procolii,. Bills to be paired on which they did not intend to aer. This was the cafe with the Army of Referee, and now with the Militia. Mr. ALEXANDER fpoke in defence of the Bill, and iheweil the facility with which men were railed in Ireland for the Militia. in preference to other branches of military fervice. --- Sir JOHN NEWPORT differed with the UR fpeaker. In the North of Ireland, indeed, the Min• tie was generally raifed in are particular county ; hut not fo in the South, to which the fyftem of railing by bounty materially contributed. Colonel VEREKER (poke in fuppnrt of the mea. lure, as the heft mode of railing additional force in Ireland. To prove the facility of railing Militia in Ireland, he inßanced what occurred during the time that he was Governor of Limerick, where he found great difficulties in procuring recruits for the Army of . Referee, though the bounty was as high as ten guineas per man. But when his own regiment of Militia was matched out of the town, not lefs than an hundred men followed it for twenty miles, defir. ous of being enlilled ; fo much attached were the Pae to the Militia ferviee. colonel BAGWELL fupported the motion. Colonel CRAUFURD could not ()ippon this mea. lure, nor be convinced, by any arguments brought in its favour. He believed there were many who would raife Fencible regiments in Ireland. Lord DE BLACQNIERE thought, that fo many were difpofed to follow the Honourable Colonel who (poke Come time back, that it would not be found to be the cafe with every other regiment. He raid it to that Honourable Member's face, though he hated all Battery, that his bravery and gallantry were fulfi eient incentives to induce men to follow him to the field. He thought the mode of augmenting our force now propofed the worn poflible mode that could be propofed. It was a Meal:tire of defence, and not of offence ; and therefore, as the Secretary of State had brought it forward as a mode of increafing our of fenfive force, he mull, on his own principles, oppofe it. Within 24, or at molt, 48 hours, lie was certain that Government had received offers to raife Fencible Corps in Ireland. If ever he gave an honell vote in that Houle, (a &ask) he Lhould now, in voting againfl the meafure. The queftion being put, there appeared—Ayes, tab; Noes, to7.—Majority, at.

It was rtmoured IA night that difpatches had beet% received from Admiral Coanwas.t.ts, announ cing that the lir& Fleet had put to fea. We can affure our Readeti that there is no truth in this re port. It is true, indeed, that difpatches were yef terday received from that meritorious Commander; but they only announced that no particular move ment had taken place in the harbour of Bret, and that the fleet under his command was in a high (late of health and fpirits. It is with infinite pleafure we refer our Iteaders to the anfwer given by the Minifter laft night in the Houle of Commons, to a queftion put to hint by Lord fefoai.rrie, refpeeting the alledgid correfpon ' dence of Mr. DRAKE with the abandoned French fpy, Mahee de la Touche. The opinion we have r uniformly expreffed upon this flibjeCt is now fully jiillified, by the unequivocal declaration of Hi: I.I4JISTY'S CHANCELLOR of the ExcuseLyee, that the Britifh Government have, neither dire Elly nbr in; r directly, fanaioned any proceeding contrary to the ufage of civilized States, or inennfillent with the laws of nations, fo long eflabliflied and recognized by flu: different Pow is of Europe. h appears that Mr. I.)?,Ant a is rot the only Bri!ich Envoy whom the Ircr.ch, in the Lar y ct thus rate hatred againtt this country, endeavour to c lomn:ate.

The Captain, who i% a refpeetable man, rays, fuch was the report ar Morlaix when he left it, and he gives it as he received it without vouching for its au- thenticity. We (halt only add, that it is hardly poClible the report can be true. The news of filch an event, had it taken place, could have reached Lon don by Come snore shred channel two or three days ago. The journey of Madam Be AAAAA Tx, mother. of the Flux Coasux, to Rome, at the precut conjunc ture, is a circurnltance which may give rife to vari ous conjedures, efpecially as the was attended with a Rrong guard, and feemed in fuch bete that the would not (lop to receive the congratulations of the public fundionaries. A letter from Rome in the CIJ de Cal'isece, of April fiat, lays, that " Madam Bona- PART!, mother of the Prince's Boecwrss, was loon expeded in that city." The objed of the old lady's journey may indeed be merely a vifit to her daugh ter ; but we recoiled that at the commencement of the French revolution, the aunts of Louts XVI. when they obferved the Rona gathering, wifely with. drew in t‘me, and took op their abode in a country which was then in a (Late of greater tranquillity. By thefe means they efcaped the melancholy fate which awaited many of their friends and relations. Madam BOMAPARTI may have thought it prudent to follow their example.

Some of the letters by this conveyance hate, that the preparations for invading this country are now in fuch a Rate of forwardnefs, that the attempt may be expelled to bt made in a very (bort time.

The fame work has alto been prohibited at Franckfort and other places. It appears by private accounts that the cafe has been the fame at Hamborgh, in confequence of a letter from the French Government, flgned by TALLEYIAND, which fervcs as a (hiking inhance of the grofs ignorance of the French refpeeling other countries. The letter of Citizen T. requefled the Se nate to prohibit the Cale of the book in the whole Cir. tle of Lower Saxony, over no part of which it can have the lean authority, which is confined merely to its own very limited territory.
