To meted again twmorrow. A made:able number of pubbc and private Bills were bought up front the Commons by digamt Gentlemen; mese theft, the Militia Ralutition Bill was prdcntcd by the Secretary at War ; the CA= Duties Regulation Bill, and the Ezdfe Olken Re numeration tsill, by Mr. Hulkiffun. The American Treaty Bill, the Neutral Ships and Foreign Prise Ships Bill, by Mr. Rae. And the Eaft India Commander in Chief's Appointment BEI, by Lord Duni°. Several private Bills were prafented by Sir J. W. Andssion, Mr. Baker, and Mr. FCHOWeII. _ The BilL upoo the table were forwarded in their refpedive Raga ; and thole recently biought up from the Commons were read a &ft time. Lord Hawmasaolv moved the firft reading of the Militia lite dultion BM, and that the Bill be printed, which were ordered ac cordingly. Hie Lordlhip that moved that the laid Bill be read a fecond time on Thuriday next, and that the Lords be (unmated for that day. Ordered. Lord MULGRAVE gave notice, that tie ()mold, on Monday next, move to have the or4er relative to the Houfe refolving into a Committee on the motion of any Noble Peer, taken into confideration. To this he was principally induced, by what took place lan night; and, on acccunt of the conftrudions which were put upon the order in cfnellion, in the courfe of the debate. Such an order was, he thought, incon tinent with the dignity of their Lordfhips' proceed. ings, and may be productive of the higheft inconve nience,admitting it to empower any Lord at his plea lure, thereby to conßitute himfelf a majority of the Houfe ; and, even when the molt important public butinefs may be regularly under confederation, to oblige the Houle to go into a Committee. An order ennttrued fo as to operate in that way, was fo objec tinnable in every point of view, that it fhould not be fuffered to remain a moment longer than was necef fary. He concluded by mcving, that the Lords be fummoned for Monday next. Earl SPENCER ogferved, that though the Noble Secretary had not Rated the nature of his intended motion, yet it may, in Come degree, be conjedured. As to the degree of inconvenience which that or any other (landing order might induce, he Arnold not then offer an opinion. He, however, could not avoid remarking, that the Noble Lord's idea, that " under tke operation of the order alluded to, any Peer may conßitute himfelf, in effelt, a majority of the Houfe," would be an argument for the abrogation of every ftanding order in the book. Lord MULGRAVE acknowledged, he had not been fufficiently explicit in terms, as to the nature of his intended motion ; but, when he had expreffed his difapprobation of the order, in fo marked a manner, he thought no doubt could arife as to his intention. However, he fhould now give a fpecific notice, that it waslis intention to move, on Monday next, that the order in queflion be expunged. The LORD CHANCELLOR made Come obfer vations in fupport of what fell from his Noble Friend, relative to the cffeds and confequences of the order adverted to. He was adverfe fiend its being confider ed as a [landing order; its import and wording be ing different from all others of that defcription. In the way in which it was ccnftrued by Come Noble Lords Taft night, it was the molt incontinent thing imaginable . ; for, in the event of the ufual notice be ing given for its fulpenfion, on any particular occa sion, how could they know but any Noble Lord may, on the very day it was appointed to be confidered, , move the Houfe to ref the into a Committee ? a pro ceeding which might be urged any moment while the order exited. An additional objeCtion againft the order was its general impradability ; becaufe, were , the order literally and fully enforced, their Lordfhips, while in loch Committee, were required to f,t, each in their proper places, according to their ranks and' degrees ; a proceeding which, in that new Houfe, their Lori:nips would find it rather difficult to carry into effed. Earl SPENCER obferved that, circumllanced as their Lordfhips were at prefent, the proceeding ad verted to would be totally impracticable. He recol lated, that Conic time 'ince, a Committee had been appointed to fettle and arrange the proper feats for the refpeCtlve orders of the Peerage in that Houfe; but no report had yet been made upon the fubjed ; that Committee thould be teferred to. In the Houle in which they formerly fat, the refpative places were regularly arranged ; every Peer knew his proper place when it was neceffary he fhould fit in it ; but, in the piefent Houle, tlot being pot yet fettled, inch a pro ceeding was impoffible. The LORD CHANCELLOR fpoke in explana tion, and Rightly adverted to the inconverdencies which mutt lumetimes arife from too literal an enforce ment of the orders ; alluding to what had taken place laft night, and its being contended that a (landing order admitted of no debate, but that it fhould b. immediately acted upon ; he adverted to the incon tinency of fuch an idea, which went to prevent a No ble and Learned Friend of his from demonftrating that it was impoffible to comply with the order in quetlion. Lord MULGRAVE perfatly concurred in what had been thrown out by his Noble Friend on the Woolfack. With refpeit to their Lordfhips being required by the order to fit in their proper places re. fpedively, he conceived it to mean that the Barons fhould fit together on certain benches, the Earls on other diftinft benches, the Dukes on other,, and fo on. This confideration was with him an additionally ftrong and forcible objedion to the order, which may render it neceffary that their Lordfhips fhould, as at the word of command, arrange themfelves in a fpe. cies of military array, or fall into their refpedive ranks, like foldiers on the Parade : but felting any thing like a ludicrous confideration of fuch a proceed ing afide, it militated, as well as other ferious and more impoitant oblations, againft the order. - The queßicn was put, and their Lordfhips ordered to be fummoned for Monday next. Adjourned. HOWE OF COMMON& Admiral MARKHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill for reeling a new gaol at Portfmouth.—Granted.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the Houle going into a Committee on this Bill. Sir JOHN NEWPORT laid, that having already fully hated to the Houle his opinion on this fuhjeet, and having found that the fenfe of the Houle was for Nang this Bill, he ihould not now take up their time with recapitulating the arguments he had be• fore offered ; he rote now merely for the purpofe of fuggefting to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) a meafure that he thought would have the molt impor tant are& in increafing the difpofable forte of the empire from Ireland, or rather in encouraging thole Col - diets, who were not now difpofable, to become fo. The meafure he now begged leave molt earneftly to recommend, was to mAke Inch a provifion for the wives and children of thole who volunteered, as would at lead remove the principal oblation which now hands in the way of their volunteering. The wives of the foldiers in the Iriffi Militia and Army of Referve now receive an allowance of two Chitlings a week, and formerly received four ; but. from the moment any of tilde foldiers volunteered fur general fervice, this alloi.ance ceafed. If this great difcou ragement was removed, he was fure they would he much more ready to enter the regular army. At prefent, the mifery that was entailed on Ireland, un der the fyftem which pow prevails, was rooft dread ful. The face of ibe country was covered with the wives and children of foldiers begging their bread. There is hardly ever any confiderable embarkation of troops from Portfmouth or Plymouth, that from Soo to a thoufand foldiers' wives are not turned bole to beg their way as well as they can to theft own country. As molt of them landed at the near eft hi& port of Cork and Waterford, he had often been an eye witnefs of the extent of the evil which he now wished to be redreffed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER al lowed that the fuggehicorof the Honourable Bayonet was of the ntmoft importance, and deferved the molt ferious confederation. He was not then prepar ed to give . an opinion on the fubjea, but he perceiv ed that many difficulties hood in the way of the adoption of this fuggeftion. He .was aware of the dithers which was 'often felt in Ireland on account of their being no eftablifhed fyllem of Poor Laws in that country as there is in this ; but he did not know how Parliament could grant a fpccific allowance to the families of Iriffi foldiers which was not granted to the families of the folaiers of the rat of the Unit ed Kingdom. He thought the Honourable Baronet was however millaken in (me point, as he . was pretty lure there was an allowance given at the time of every embarkation, to carry the foldiers' wivei home. Notwithhanding the difficulty that he law in the adoption 6f this fuggeltion, he ffiould certainly give it his molt ferious confederation. ' Sir JOHN NEWPORT Paid in explanation, that the altos ante given to foldiers! wives on embarkation was a guinea and a half ; this might be barelyfuifi cient to carry them to the neareft Iriffi Port, but they landed completely &Rime, and were obliged immediately to have recourfe to begging. Colonel BAGWELL confirmed the Itatement of Sir John Newport, at to the great degree of mifery which the wives of not only the Irifh loldiers in the regular army, but even in the Militia and Army of Referve experienced. During the laa war, four (billings a week was allowed to the wives of the Mi litia, which was rufficient to keep them from the ne ceffity of begging ; but fiace it was reduced to two, that allowance had been infufficient. He thought there could be no greater encouragement to volun , leering from the Militia, than granting fome provi fion to the families of the volunteers. The Houfe then went into a Committee on the Bill, when fome trifling alterations were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received to-mot row. LONDON. kY, APRIL 3.

Yeßevday we Rated that accounts had been receiv. pd in town of the capture of Dominica by a French force. They were brought to England by the AILA• DELLA packet arrived at Falmouth, in 3o days from Tortola : on the ta of March the intelligence was received there, by exprefs, that on the isith of Fe• bruary five (hips of the line, three frigates, and two brigs, had arrived at Martinique, from France, hay ing on board 3000 troops, which were landed on the a tit in Prince Rupert's Bay, after a fruitlefs tea& atlce on the part of General Pasvom wbo could only oppofe them with about 300 men. The French fucceeded in getting poffelfion of the Tow.., ivhich they fes on fire. Some accounts Rate that they alto got policifion of Fort Rofeau, the fttongeft iu The 'Rand. General PILIVOIT retired with his little force to the Forts in' Portfmouth, Rupert's Bay, allele he continued to hold out at the date of the laR accounts received at Tortola, baying been reinforced by Soo men from Barbadoes. But it is not believed that he et:mid (land long againft the force with alict he had to contend. A very different account, however, is given in the following letter from Portfmouth, dated April z : " Arrived a fchooner, with dicpatches from Commo. dore HOOD, which brings intelligence of the Rochefort fquadron having made three attacks on the Ifland of Dominique, in which they were feverally rcpulfed.— It is NJ, after this unfuccefsful enterprize they an chored at Fort Koyal, Martinique, where the fchooner faw th:rn lying. Admiral Coce seam was apprized of their proceedings, and there is expedation that cre this they have been beaten." Dominica is an ifland of about :9 miles in length, and 16 in breadth. It lies at almoa equal dißaace between Martinique and Guadeloupe. It is extremely well fituated for intercepting the communication be tween thole Iflands, and will greatly facilitate the intercouife between them, which mutt 14e important to the French in the prefent circumilances. A cun fiderable part of the inhabitants are French ; the Ifland, though called neutral, having been chiefly fettled py the French, btfore its ceflion in 1763. The value of its produce imported into this country is 1788, was 302,0001. Since which it has confidera bly entreated. By tl,:e above packet we have received the follow. ing accounts from other quarters : " ST. VINCENT, JA N . 4 , 1801. " Governor BIIITINCK, of this itland, is recalled, and Major General Gsoaca BECKWITH, formerly Governor of the Bermuda Minds, is appointed to fucceed him, and daily expeded here to airtime the Government. " We are momentarily in expeetation of a Spa all war.

" Brigadier General DALRYMPLE has arrived to take the command of the troops in this Maud until the arrival of M. G. BrcKwlrn, when the former goes to the Maud of Dominica. "Six Companies of the Royal African Corps have relieved the 6th Regiment at St. Lucia; the latter have relieved the ad Battalion, both Regiment, who are gone to IS rena4a. " The Ertl January mail is now due, and antiouf ly looked for.—The WeR Indies are at this time ge nerally very healthy.

BsTraslioarm, who is .wounded. The lots on both fides is Rated at about 6o men. This quarter is fwarming with privateers." We have received Paris journals to the 14th, and Dutch to the 18th ult.

Lissom, Fla. 4..—The EnglA Minifier at Lana was fo exceedingly impertinent as to prefent a note to complain, that our Gazette had publifbed the de claration of the Prince of Peace, in regard to 'the war. The Minifler of Foreign Affairs returnid an anfwer in the following note : 4 Sir—l received the note which you addreffei to me, of date February 25, in regard to an article in the Supplement to the Li/Bon Gaseite, containing a faithful tranflation of a paragraph, taken from the Madrid Gazes!: of the 2oth of December WI. After having . hod the honour, Sir, to explain to you eer. bally, the reafont Which ailthorifed the infertion of that article, I hoped that you would ba fully con vinced that no folid reafou could be aUedged for re quiring the fuppreffion of it. I aril certain that 'the Paid article was tranflated into all the Gazettes of Europe ; and I am perfuaded that none of the Mini. fiers of England have demanded from the Govern ments where they 'elide a fimilar exclufion of that official paper. If pieces of this kind were to be omitted in political gazettes, what matter could be found to fill them " I mull alto inform you, Sir, in order to free you from the doubt you have teflified on this fubjeB. that the infertion of the Paid official article In the Portuguefe Gazette, was with the knowledge of the Government, becaufe it did not think that it expecd itielf by muting to be tranferibed any official papers, publifhed in other European Gazettes, and under the head of foreign countries. Similar article , , faithfully copied, and unaccompanied by reflection•., have sever proved either the approbation or difap probation on the part of the Government which permits them to be printei " I confefs, Sir, that I cannot fee how it can give the leaft offence. The fame article, at a period fomewhat later, might have been copied by the Eng lith Gazettes, in which no doubt it has been pub. lifhed. Betides, you know, Sir, that After dircuffions on a fimilar fubjeft, which took place before my miniftry, his Royal Highnefs the Prirce Regent, caufed to he notified to you that the official publics (ions of h: Englifh Government would alto be tran ' gated iukso the Lilbou Gazette.
