1. t`'t PARLIAMENTARY PROGEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, MARCH 13. . we have teen none of the Enghfh cruPzen, which gives us reafon to, think that fomething extraordinary has happened. A letter from Rome. of the 16th of February, con tains the following particulars: On the Isstls ult. ar rived here from Naples, a French emigrant, who proved himfelf to be a naturalized Ruffian rabid:l, and an officer in the Ruffian ferrite, under the name of Count de VZILOIRE. He vifited the Ru ffi an Mi 'nitler here, who gave him an apartment in his hotel- In tome few days after, the French Ambaffador, Cardinal Fists, demanded and obtained his impri fonment in the cattle of St. Angelo, accufing him of hate crimes. The Court of Rome has hitherto had little regard to the repeated reclamation' of the Ruffian Minifier, who has only obtained the affurance that Count de Vaaosae fhould not be delivered up to France. Couriers have been expedited to St. Pe- terfburgh and to Paris, and we expeit Coon to bear what will be the confequence of an affair, which has offended Ruffia without pleating France. The Bill for enforcing the cantos relating to Prtetts Orders la Windt Boyd re's Lottery Hill ; two Nerunhasdea, and fermi ph a se pas, were brought up from the Commas. On the firft reading of Boydell's Lottery Bill, *art SUFFOLK hid, that although it was not womtion to oppofe a Bill for the advantage of a perfoo who had tendered the greatsft Cervices to the Arts. pith great benefit to his Country, yet be would not refift the opportunity afforded him, by the intro duaion of the prefent Bill, of addrelEng a few words to,the Artifts of this Country. In the preamble to this till it was Rated, that the file of Britifk En gratings was confiderably dienimilhed on the Conti nent of Europe. He was Corry to bear Inch a fart waded, and the more fo, as be much feared that the Ids of that produitive article of commerce, was to be imputed rather to the inattention and flovenlinefs of our engravers, than to the eircumdances of the loft fourteen years. It was the fuperior merit of our angravers ' exemplified in the celebrated print of the Death of General Wolfe (the fir& work of Woolen, which occupied four years of his time and labour, and for which he received between fix and (even thoufand poonds). that firll procured for the Englith Artiftrin that line, that extraordinary confederation whieh• the y obtained in &Rio countries. The en. graving of the battle of Li. Hoy*, a work of nearly equal merit, contributed to wit* the continuance of the fuperiority of the , Britiat mitt. and if that re putation was diminiateri, the careleffnefs of the pre lint race of swifts inult bear the shlante and the dif credit thereof. He threw out thele. ideas, not for the purpose of attaching any negieftl or fault what e'er to the worthy and venerable Alderman [Mr. Boydell was below the Bar]. whom he bialltly re-: foaled, but for the purport of Rimulating the rang' Artills to exertion and attention, and recoveriMt.ll Slick cautions, a ranch of commerce which brought: ;to left than two hundred thoufand pounds anomaly' to the country. The•LORD CHANCELLOR left the woolfack.. and obferved, that much as he in general dilapproved of bringing Bills into Parliament for the difporal of., private property byway of Lottery; yet he thought et but an aa of juftice. and of gratitude due to the important fervices rendered to Britilh Arts mud llri tint Commerce, by tliofe gentlemen, to grant them the favour they folicit. They bad done mush for the Country ; they were the firfl to eflablifh for it a branch el* commerce no left lucrative than honour. able ; whether it would continue, taking the a&ual Hate of a great part of Europe into conilderation, was more than he would venture to pronounce. The obfervariuns made by the Noble Earl might be well founded for aught he knew, but fore he was, that th e y could not, nor were intended to apply to the Works of thofe gentlemen. Indeed, he thought the diminution in that particular branch of trade, pro ceeds rather from an extraordinary and peculiar fea. tore in the &wafter of Come of the nations of Eu rope, which istanifefied a difpolition to acquire every thing that was preeminent in art or ingenuity, not by fair commerce and purchafe, but by rohotz it gratis. The several Bills before their Lordtbips were paged in their refpative amts. —Adjourned to half pall two to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

HOSTILITIES WITH SPAIN. Our Readers will fee by our Falmouth letter, that there has been an engagement between one of our frigates and a Spanilh floop of war.

According to private ad. ♦ices, received yellerday, no lets than twenty-Seven Officers of diftiniftion have already been arrefted, among whom is General F►aatso, and Some others of Superior rank and reputation.

DIAL, SEARCH 13. Lail night the Aocs a ssos gun brig brought in a [mall lugger gunboat and two fchuyts, taken by her and the Halm off Cape Grifnez. The lugger is a moQ defpicable looking veffel ; the fchuyts had fomc cargo, but I believe of no great confequence. The only particulars I have heard refpeeting them are. that the wind drove them from under their own bat teries when they were taken. The firing on the other fide daily continues, but we have no intelligence of what is doing ; it is, however, probable, that the firing proceeds from tome of our cruisers annoying the dif ferent convoys as they attempt to Real along the lore.

The firing has been very heavy again to-day ; and it being quite calm and thick, we have heard no news of the refult : it is fuppofed that the enemy have made a movement to come out in the Road.

Sir SIDNEY is indefatigable, feldom goes to bed till four or five in the morning; and as he has fo completely hemmed them in, will no doubt moth them (which is his general term) before he fees Eng land. The Patrick's or WALES is the cutter which led the vefrels through the Wullings into their an chorage ; the pilots, and to their fhame be it Paid, gave up their charge: that veffel, and the Faro , airs, have been very anively employed in recon noitering and founding between Cadfand and Flulh ing, at times within piffol (hot of the batteries, which have never fired fince the firil day, and then it is be lieved not with the intention of their mot having effeill: the flotilla appear panic-ft: uck ; for when the two cutters were taking a peep at them, within 10- mA gun (hot, and cloth under the batteries, they only font five of their :allot, fguad to chacethem— two large armed fchooners and three gun vends : the cutters immediately hove to for them, which they obferved, and not thinking i: fare to mull them fdve too rear our larks, ran into their nett again. The FRINCERS or WALE, mounts ten gulls, and the FAVOURITE right ; and at this time not one of the fquadron in fight except the RATTLIIII, who was lying at an anchor about five miles to leeward.— When our Tars can do this in the face of the enemy, and in their own harbours, what has Engliflimen to fear from invafion ?
