The SPEAKER, in consequence of a message from the Lords attended in their Lordships' House, to hear the Royal assent de clared by Commission to Lord Botingdon's Divorce Bill, and re ported to the House. On the Report of the Loan ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND, from the Newry Election Committee, and the attestation of Dr. Forbes to the Hines of Sir John Anstruther, the attendance of Sir John in the Committee was dispensed with pro tempore, and the Com mittee was allowed to adjourn till Monday.—A new Member was sworn in and took his seat. Sir Samuel Rojnilly's Bill for the relief of debtors in equity was read a third time, passed, and ordered to the Lords A writ was ordered for the election of a Memher for Stamford, in the room of General Bottle, now Lord Lindsay, a Peer of the United Kingdom. Mr. BARHAM moved for an account of the quantity of rum, and other foreign spirits imported into Ireland, from the sth of January, 1806, with the amount of duties paid thereon. Also an account of the number of illegal stills and the quantity of spirits illegally distilled, which have been seized in Ireland, since Janu ary, 1803.—Ordered. Mr. HUTCHESON begged the Chancellor of the Exchequer would defer the further consideration of the Distillery Bill to a future day, as he understood that it had caused a considerable sen dation in that part of the south of Ireland, which he had the ho nour to represent. He wished for time to communicate with his sonstituents upon the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed that it should be postponed till Thursday next. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY brought in a bill for consoli olating the Irish Militia Acts, which was read a first time, and ordered to he read a second time to morrow. Lord HENRY PETTY, pursuant to his notice of yesterday, moved for the Copy of a Letter from the Secretary of State to Sir Hew Dalrymple, expressing his Mojesty's disapprobation cf cer tain articles in the Convention of Cintra.—Ordered. MILITIA. The order of the day being read for the third read ing of the Bill to permit Volunteering from the Mi. litia into the Line, Lord CASTLEREAGH moved several new clauses by way of riders, which were agreed to, after some 'observations from Colonels FRANKLAND, and BASTARD, On the motion being put that the bill be read a third time, Lord MILTON opposed the bill, on the grounds of its being introduced as a part of a system which was only to be adopted in cases of great necessity and emergency. He was against the permitting the vo lunteering of men from the militia into the regular army, because it weakened and injured the former, I who otherwise in case of invasion would be an effi cient force, and besides the immediate mischief, the system, in fact, was the raising men by conscription, though the fact was disguised from the public. Mr. LEFEVRE agreed with what had fallen from the Noble Lord, the present bill was but a part of a measure, and it ought not to be introduced before the other bill was submitted to the consideration of the House, and he therefore embraced the preseat oppor tunity of asking the Noble Secretary of State when he would bring it forward ? Lord CASTLEREAGH said'it was his intention to bring. in the second bill in the course of the week. Sir G. WARRENDER opposed the bill, on the 'I grounds that it would occasion a competition in the recruiting service, and raise the bounty. Mr. WINDHAM observed, that the silence he preserved during the present discussion, did not pro ceed from his not being sensiLle of the great impor tance of the measure, but because the general opinion was, that it ought to give way to another business, which stood for the day. He trusted, however, that his silence would not be considered as excluding him from offering his observations on the second bill, be cause the Noble Lord called upon the House to agree to a part of a measure, without, as he should have done, piesentinp:, it with a whole, The attention of the House, he observed, was drawn to one object, I but, however important that may he, it was not of more magnitude than the measure, or part of the mi litary system now before the Howe. It would cer tainly have a strange appearance in the eyes of Eu rope, and a serious effect in the eyes of the world, to find that the Representatives of the people suffered their attention to be drawn away as it was from every other business, for the military system is vanished, end horse mad foot were completely routed by Mrs. Clarke.

The subject to which he al luded was important, inasmuch as it involved the character of a distinguished personage ; but be ob jected to Ministers in not proposing to have the mat-I ter submitted to a Select Committee, where it could have been amply, fully, and fairly discussed, without any injury to the public business, and occasioning a sensation, to which every other consideration in the public mind seemed to give way. If he was to in dulge any political enmity against Ministers, it would have been to induce them to have brought in the Mi litia Enlistment as a proof of their wisdom. The bill was then passed and ordered to the Lords. 0 ivy r4nTRArrARr PR( EOM.IMIY CA V Alan'. Mr. W.
