Mr. Joturst walled to have a Mate tali& explanation of the propofed extent of the operation of the Bill. If it was only meant to declare that perfons actually in Holy Orders were ineligible to a Seat in the Route, it flionld certainly have his fuppoit. But if. on the other hand, it was intended to be ena&ed that perfons having once been in orders, however they might have given up their former views and relinquithed their original emo luments, were (till ineligible, he thought it necef fary, even in this early Rage of thelaufinefs, to fay, that he was not prepared to admit the gene ral principle to fuch an extent. Lord TEMPLI was aflonifhed that the Right Honourable Gentleman, after reducing the Houk to the fitnation of a nature unprecedented in the proceedings of Parliament, afterhaving made them I Willy their soon ads by throwing contempt on the evidence adduced at their Bar, and on the Report of a Committee of their own appointing ; after having made a fpeech declaratory of certam principles, while he refufed to fandion them by his vote, Mould bring in a Bill finch as that fpecified in the prefent motion. As, however, he hitnfelf hid not yet learnt that tempo:nig (yttem of politics which allowed people to (peak one way and vote another, nor adopted that conduct which would compromife the Houle in his own inconfiftency; approving, as he did, of the principle of the Bill ; conceiving, as he did, that a meafure of the kind was el ential to the fecurity of the Conßitution, he (hould accede to the motion, and, what would per haps forprize the Right Honourable Gentleman, would give his vote in conformity to his fentiment now expreffed. The CHAWCELLOI of the EXCHKy ea, in anfwer to a qoeflion from an Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Jolliffe) Rated, though he would not be doing ju t. Lice to his feelings if he did not fay that he was convinced that the charafter of a Clergyman was indelible. Conceiving this to be the cafe, he had no hefitation in declaring that he withed the Bill to apply to all perfons who are, or have ever been poffeffed of benefices. This would, however, be open to the confideration of the Houfe, and any Member would have it in his power to move for any claufe tb narrow the operation of the Bill. In reply to what had been Paid by a Noble Lord (Lord Temple), of the inconfiftency of his conduct in bringing forward the Bill, he contended that fuch language as had been ufed was highly . unparliamen tary. He rimmed the fuppofition, and he was con vinced that in this the Houfe would go along with him : he had never compromifed tl,e proceedings of the Houle, or ever voted contrary to the fulleft conviction of his own mind. On the late debate , he had indeed expreffed his own perfuafion, that perfons in Holy Orders were ineligible ; but he had' at the fame time Rated that doubts exifled in the minds of others, whole opinion be regarded with refped. In bringing in a Bill whore object was to fatisfy their doubts, he could not imagine with what propriety he could be accused of inconfift ency. On the late occafion he was impreffed with a full convi.ftion of the propriety of the Houfe coming to no definite opinion on the fubjed ; for among other inconveniences that might have en- Cued from inch a determination, it might have hap pened that'the Bill brought in on fuch a Refolu tioa would not hare been agreed to by the Houfe, f.rif agreed to by them it might have been re e Eted by the other branch of the Legiflature. Having illufirated this idea fully,he declined going farther into the difcutfion at prefent, but expreffed his wills that every confideration should br. given to the gneftion in the progrefs of the Bill. Lord Test eta in explanation laid, that he had not applied the inconfiftency to the Right Honour. able Gentleman's condo& He had raid that he himfelf had not learnt to compromife the Honk in his own incontiftency ; but if the Right Honour able Gentleman thought proper to apply do, to himfelf, it lay with his own con viiftian to fay what was the sinners of the application. Mr. Gall' laid, that in no point of view could he approve of the Rate of the queftion on a forme! night.

The further confideration of Mrs. Additim's Divorce Bill is put off till Taefday. The L,oto CHANCELLOR left the Woolfack, and Paid he race at the initance of the Noble Lord whole Bill Rood for commitment that day, to move that the Order be difcharged and a new one made. That Noble Lord, his Lordfhip afored the Houfe, was extremely anxious that the Bill fhould p to the Committee, bait, as it was intended to introduce various new CLinfes and Amendments, it was thought aecefary to take a little more time to confider them maturely, after which he hoped fo to &ape and fettle it as to make the Bill a falu tary and prudent meafare. His Lordfhip added a few more general obfervations, and tLen moved to difeharge the Order ; which being agreed to, his Lordship moved, That the Bill be referred to a Committee of the whole Houfe on Friday. The feveral Bills on the Table were read a page each.-.-Adjounaed. have been directly negatived. If, on the contrary, he had been of opinion, as Tome Gentlemen ap peared to be, that the ineligibility of peernns in Holy Orders was clear and undoubted, he fhould have acted differently from them. The motion de claring the ineligibility might have been feparated from that for the new Writ- It might have been agreed to, and a Bill brought in upon it. The objection made by the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to this mode of pro- cedure, appeared to him quite frivolouhas it would apply to every Bill brought in on a Refolution of the Houfe. He did not mean to objea to the mo tion ; on the contrary, he was happy that it had Leen made. To a certain extent it should have his cordial fupport ; for he was clearly of opinion that perfons in Holy Orders, and holding benefices in the Church, ought to be declared ineligible ter a feat in that Houfe. But he coddled that he en tertained very ftrong doubts whether a mice who has received ordination, may not, or ought not to be allowed to lay afide his clerical charaaer, and on fo doing to become eligible. This, however he did not mention as any objection in the prefent Rage of the bnfinefs.

The Maria AdjiltAnef Hill, the Militia Pay and Cloathlog IRII, and the Militia Subaltern Officers BEI went through a Committee of the whole Hsofe, and the Report ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. BIAGGI moved for leave to bring in a Bill to exempt Lie Members of both Hades o. Parliament from the payment of certain Daties.--Leave was even. and Mr. Corry, Mr. Vasa &tam and the Chaneclior of the Eschequ.r defied to prepare the Came. The Bill to exempt Sea Elephant Oil from Doty in Sales by 411affitior was mad a third time and paired. The Curates' Ho& Dory Exemption Bill was poftponed till in favour of a particular clafs to a feat in the Houfe. Be hoped, therefore, the application of the Bil would be general and anreferved. Mr. Su ItIDAN WaS furprikd that the Bill floukl be uthered in on the ground that doubts ezifted, , fusee in his humble apprehenfion, this was one of the fubjeas on which not even the shadow of doubt had been Itartech True it was there was a diffe rence of opinion betwixt the different parties, but both had been equally certain of the right which was the ground in difpute. The one was fully con winced that there was no law or precedent which could exclude perfons in Orders from a feat in Par liament, while the other was no lets certain that the whole law and ufage of Parliament was adverfe to the exigence of this right. It was flrange, there fore, in his opinion, why, amid this diverfity of opinion, the queftion was not brought to iffue by a vote of the Route, and he was perfnaded it was becaufe Gentlemen on the other fide had their doubts on the fubjeft, that it was net brought to this ufual telt of troth. For his part, he, who was perfnaded the Clergy had the right, and who re quired much Rionger realms to be adduced than any hitherto prefented, before he could content to deprive a refpeaable part of the community of a great contlitutional franchife,couldnotagree to dif , pate of the queftion by acceding to the prefent Bill. Mr. BRAGGI6 after a few. rettrarks, with a par ticular reference to what the laft Speaker had ad duced, alluded to the perfenalities which had been introduced into the difcnEGon, and expreffed his trial, that the fubjea would, in its future Rages, be confidered merely as a dry conflimtional quef tion—independent of all perfonal feeling--uncon neded with all party eonfiderations. Mr. Slit/10AM explained; as did Mr. BRAGGY and Lord Tx sm./ in fucceffion. Mr. pats had no difficulty in agreeing to the Bill, as he was anxious to keep Clergymen from ever having a feat in the Houle. He concurred with the doarine of their indelible char-after, and contended that it was as impoffible to unrobe ' them as it was to make a blackamoor white, or to unde bauch a woman after her virtue was deftroyed ! Lord HAWLESSUIT defended the condua of thole who, convinced of the ineligibility of perfons in Holy Orders, had yet voted on a former night for the previous queftion. Though their own opi nion was fixed, they refpeaed the doubts of others - and that fuch doubts exifted appeared evident from ; Rufhworth's cafe, and fill more from Mr. Hat fell's reports , a Gentleman who was better acquain ted with th e law of Parliament than moft other perfons. Mr. Nicttooxs,Colonel. MARTIIII, Mr. W. SMITH, and Mr. Hoist:sum each Paid a few words in fup port of the motion. After which it was agreed to without a divilion. 11L1SH FINANCES. The Honfe in a Committee on the Ira Stamp Duty Bill, Mr. Co Lay fiid, as the produce of the prefent Bills was to be applied to the difcharge of the in. terell of the Debt contraaed by Ireland, he fhould move to make thofe taxes nt, which in Ireland were annual taxes. e'r e al w a a n s e then proceed. ing to propofe a confiderable increafe in the Stamp- Duties, when Mr. BRAGGE rote and aid, he believed it was contrary to the rules of the Houfe to propofe taxes in a Committee. _ _ _ Mr. Coate faid, he had the ntmoll deference for the opinion of the Hon. Gentleman. He was himself unacquaintedwith the forms of that Houfe; and he was defirons for nothing more than to ad here to its rules and orders; but he had been in formed by perfons, whom he fuppored to be ac quainted with the forms of that Route, that the method he was then purfuing was conformable to its rules. Mr. O'Hara could not fay whether the Hen. Gentleman abed ftrialy conformable to the forms :aid down or not, but he thought it very improper n a Committee ionfilling of io few Members, to attempt to raife the burthens of the people of Ire and in fo great a degree. For his part, he would "bjat to any measure which could tend to pre lude the renovation of the Iriat conilitution. The .iefolution.s propoled to the Committee, by mak. ng the taxes permanent, which were orly annual, -nun tend in a great meafnre to the continuance the Union, from which he law, that ruin would -trite to Ireland, and much injury to this country. Sir Jona P fubmitted to the Committee .1 it was proper, when only fix or even Members were prefent, to pafs taxes to the amount theft now propofed went, to be levied upon the people of Ireland. He was perfuaded the Honourable Mover did not with to take any improper advan tage of the abfence of Members, and he was alto perfuaded, though be fbould be acting in con. formity to the regulations of the Houfe, yet that he would have no oblation to poftpone the bun nen to a future day. • The tax which he under. Rood the Hon. Gentleman had in agitation upon Policies of Infurance, he apprifed him, it was his intention to oppofe whenever it came under dif culEon, as it would tend to the annihilation of in nuance in that country. He could by no means agree with what had been Paid on a former night: That the tax propofed would put infurance on a fair footing with regard to this country ;and I whiff& it gave Ireland every proper advantage, would prevent perfons removing from this country with their capitals—and thereby, in confequence of there being no duty on infurance, injure the infurers in this country."—He (Mould, however, referee his oppofition until the measure came un der ditcuffion. The Smelt thought aCommittee of the whole Houle was the regular way to propofe the making taxes permanent which had been before annuaL He therefore conceived the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Corry) regular in point of form; but from the thinnefs of the Committee, he thought it would be belL to poilpone the bullnefs. He therefore recommended, that the Committee do report pro. refs, and afk leave to fit again ; in the mean umc he would inf6rm himfelf better on the fubjetk. After a few words from Mr. Coeur a:td the &taut's, the bufsnefs was raponed to Friday.— d. LONDON. THURSDAY, MAY 7. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ON!

The accounts from the North are fuch as might be expeded from the official documents, which have already been made public. Every thing wears a pacific appearance in that quarter, and there Teems little doubt of our North Sea fleet be. ing Coon at liberty to render new Cervices to it: country, by meeting the French, &odd they peri,ft in the attemptat invafion,whichtheynow meditate. The Dana troops, it is believed, quitted Ham burgh on the ad of May, and the navigation of the Elbe is now open, as was notified Tome days ago by authority. The letters from Conaantinople do not bring the accounts refpeding Egypt down later than tita t4th of March. We have, however, laid them before our readers, to thew what was confidered at Conftantineple as the Rate of fads at that tim:. The French Journals, of which we this morn ing received complete Lets to the 4.th intl. inclufive, give news from r g ypt of a later date, but nct of. ficial. If there be any truth in them at all, our troops were not mafters of Alexandria fo late as the t7th of April. We do not however think the news entitled to much credit. The Journalifts in Paris believe that Mr. AD DINGTON is in pofkffion of advices from Egypt, ftating the defeat of our Army—exaaly as people here were furmifing a few days ago refpeaing the FIRST CONSUL ; that he knew well enough of the vi Cory gained by General Alt RCROMBIL on the sift of March, but had proud any notice of it in the Journals ! ! Private letters received by the Lifbon Mail of yefterday Rate that the Portnguefe Government is much embarraffed by the threats of the Cabinets of the Thuilleries and of Madrid. The Spaniards having now yielded to the demands of France re. fpeaing the paffage of an army, Portugal muft either fubmit to the alternative of being over-ran by a French and Spanifh force, or comply with the terms offered by the enemy. Thole terms are ex travagant, and are chiefly direaed againft the in. terefts of this country. A letter, dated Lifbon, Apnl 8, from a perfon in an official fitnation under the Portuguefe Go vernment, to his friend in London, Rates, "The conditions upon which Portugal will be allowed to purchafe the forbearance of France from the meditated invafion, are laid to be, that Portugal mall flint its ports againit England, fequeftrate Britifh property, and cede to Spain fume part cf the Brazils. As we have no force adequate to re fift an invading army, it is thought that the pre tenfions of France mull be granted. The Enid!' Merchants therefore will Ihortly quit Portugal. a It is reported, however, that the Trench will keep up a body of troops in Spain, for the purpcfe of watching the execution of the Treaty, and :f Englifh (hips than receive any affiftance in our ports, garnfous will be marched into our towns, and a cordon drawn along the coaft. " Count is fiiortly erpeaed from London, with pacific afurances from the Cabinet of Sr. James's, as England had the option of fend ing an army for our defence, or permitting ns to make the bet terms which circumftances would permit." Whether the terms above Elated will be mod:- rated on difeuEon, we cannot pretend to fay. They amount to hofhlky on the part of Portugal again it as, but a hollility, as it is involuntary, one which we cannot relent upon the rr.ere inarnment, redo. eed to the alternative by fidelity to this country. In the prefent fituation of affairs, however, it 4 probable that the French Government will be in. dined to exact from Portugal conditions the moa bottle to the intereas of Great Britain. Portugal is the only place through which they have at pre fcnt the means of doing us any important injury. Some articles in the French Journals wear a 11- milar complexion to the aboverefpeeting Portugal, but they feem to doubt their truth. . Another mail from Lilbon arrived this morning, but none of the letters which we have yet fern, throw any farther light upon this point. HANtDURGH MAIL Corssm Acta, APEIL aB.
