The Srsexba reported, that his Majefty had been waited upon w ith the Addrefs of the Houle, and had been pleated to return a moll gracious Anfwer. Mr. VAN siTTART rote and obferved, that •the great plenty of the late harveft, and other circum stances of the country would, he prefumed, in the fettle of the Houle, ren4er nnneceffary the further continuance of prohibitory reftriEtions upon the ufual manufadures from coin within this realm ; and he therefore moved, that a Committee be ap- pointed to confider of the expediency of difcon. tinning the late Mtrof Parliament refpeding the importation of foreign ftarch, the diftillatton of home fpirit from molaifes only, and the prohibition of &killing the Came from corn.—Ordered, and that the laid Conmsittee do fit to-morrow morning. ctDtD THOLITORIES PROM SPAIN AND HOLLAND. Mr. WHITIRIAD rote and (aid, that as to-mor row flood-appointed by the Order of the Houfe for taking into conlideratiOn the Preliminaries of Peace with France, there was a point or two amongft thofe Preliminaries, of which, in order to the more clearly tnsderflanding their objefts, he wished to have explained by the Noble Lord op. polite to him (Lord Hawkeffiury.) By one of the Preliminary Articles it is agreed that certain territories which heretofore belonged to Spain and Holland fhall be ceded to England. He defired to know if this ceffion was made by any perton or authority direly on the parts of Spain and Holland ; or many other changes and difficul ties, for which it was for all the wif cloret of chute who fuggeW this whether the (cf. Bun Tells merely on the authority of France ? Lord Hawrirsan IT (aid, he had no objeition to aisfwer the Honourable Gentleman, that % thocom paa fur ceffion of the territories alluded' to was diretilv with France ; and it was upon the condi tion of thole cellions only which others on the part of En o _oland were to be made. Mr. Wm declared ltimfelf pettedly fa tisfied on this point. Lord Have EiIIUIT raid, there was another point relative to which an explanat ion bad been alked by an Honourable Ge ntleman on a former night : It was refpeding the integrity of the Poe tuguefe territory, as meant by the firth Article of the Preliminaries. He had no objeition to give, by way of explanation, an anfwer to that quellion ti.lw, of the official information concerning which the Officers of Government were not in poreffion till this day. By the integrity of the territories of Portugal, was meant fuch territories and pofef fiuns as her Faithful Majetly poffetled fub(equent to the treaty of Badajos. At that treaty her Faithful Malay had agreed to cede to Spain the town and territory of Olivenza. In the fubfe- gnent treaty with trance Conte ch ang e was a i reed on in the boundaries between Fra and ortu guefe Galena ; but all cedions fubfequent to the treaty of Bad.tjos were annulled by the Prelisn:na ties with England. 1. Mr. Gutsy (to whore isiquiry on a former night the - no:ile Lord allnJed) that the noble Lord ■ • hai eertainly even * B &gym to ate Of Dis gut!. tic=t but there was another of Rill more impor tant moment which remained to be anfwerecL— By the treaty of peace. between Francg and Por tugal, it was esprefsly ilipulated that the woollens of France fhould be admitted into Portugal upon the tame footing as thole of England had ufually been ; and he afked whether, in guaranteeing the integrity of the Portuguefe territories his Majeay's Minifters had acceded toe principle fo materially injurioustothe commercial interefts of this country 1 Lord Haw-asset/at faid, he withed to be clearly underftood : at the period of the treaty of Bada jos between Spain and Portugal, there was alto a treaty entered into between France-and Portu gal, the former was ratified, whiff the Ratifica tion of the latter was refuted. It was underftood that the Preliminary Treaty between this Country and France, conlidered Portugal as fubjed to the Articles of both thofe Treaties, and that the Treaty between France and Portugal was to be conlidered as equal in every retped to the Treaty of Badajoi, between Spain and the latter king dom. With retped to the other queftioa of the Hon. Gentleman, he was really at a lots what an fwer to return to it. Portugal Alight, if the pleated, during a period of profound Peace, content to ad mit the Woollen Manufactures of France, on the fame footing as thole of England, and Great Bri tain might, in return, confent Co admit the Wines of other Countries on the fame terms as thofe of Portugal. This teemed to him to be a matter of regulation, which had nothing aridly to do with the term of the Preliminary Treaty, inafmucb as ' fuch kind of regulations might be made as wtll during a period of profound Peace, as at any other time. ORDER OF THE DAY. On the motion of the CHANcsttoit of the Ex colos se, the Houfe refolved into a Committee of Supply, Mr. BRAGG' in the Chair.--Refolved, l that a Supply be granted to his Majelly.—Left the Chair, and ordered to report to-morrow. STAINDJEG ORDERS. • The Order of the Day being read for taking into eonfideration certain Standing Orders refpeding the neceffary arrangement with regard to the due of Writs for the Elation of Members in the room of others, become by creation, or hereditary de fcent, Peers of Ireland, pollponed to this dal/. Mr. BRAGG{ rote and laid, he hoped to have been able to have laid before the Houfe Conte de - 1 finite propofitions for their confideration ; but upon maturer confideration he thought it would be more expedient to refer the fubjea to the con fideration of a Special Committee, who might tel port their opinion thereon to the Houfe. And be moved, that the prefect Order be difcharged, and fuch Committee be appointed.—Ordered accord ingly, and so fit to-morrow in the Speaker's Chamber. 111111 PHIAGII. Mr. DAWSON (a Member for the County of Mo. naghan), role and obferved that, notwithflanding the motion of the Honourable Member who fpokc Taft, and the Order now made thereupon, he could not feel hirnfelfjuftified in poftponing any longer an effort on his part towards removing a defea in the reprefentation of the refpettabk county to which' , he had the honour to belong, occafioned by the ' 1 hereditary fuccefflon of an Honourable Gentleman (late his colleague) to a Peerage in Ireland. He alluded to Mr. - Wellenra now Lord Rolfmore.— This deli& he raid, mote as one of the many di lemmas growing out of the imperfettion of the Ad of Union—a meafure which, by changing the Conflitution in the firft infiance ' necelfarily created new meafures, for which no Aft of Par- , liament could provide all at once. By the law of Ireland, when it was a diftina kingdom, the cer tificate of any two Members, that any Member of the Honfe of Commons bad fucceeded, either by creation or hereditary right, to a Peerage of the Realm, would have been fufficient authority for the Speaker of the Irifh Houfe to iffue his writ for the eleaion of a new Member to fucceed him. The impreffon of the Great Seal of Ireland to his patent would have been the utmotk evidence that could be required of the fait by the law of Ireland. But the Aft of Union annihilated that inftrument, and though Mr. Weftenra was now to all intents and purpofes a Peer by defcent in hereditary fuc carton to Lord Roffmore, yet not being chofen under the law of Union to take his feat in the pre fent Hoak of Lords as a Reprefentative Peer of Ireland, no extant authority that he knew of (as the law now flood) woul-1 warrant the doors of the notate of Commons to be fbut againft him; and he might kill come in and fit, contrary to the prin ciples of the Conftitution, as Reprefentative for the County of Monaghan, To prevent the poffibility of a np:afure which he was lure the Noble Lord would not think of attempting, and to prevent the county be bad the honour to reprefent from being any longer deprived of member s and bimfelf of a colleague, be would at lea/k do what he con ceived to be his own duty, by taking the fenfe of the Houk upon a motion to the purpok. He did not know whether his Simple afertiott of a fait, already of the utmoa publicity without doors, would, in point of form, be deemed fufficient evi dence ; but he Ihould move that Mr. Speaker do :ffue his writ for the eleaion' of a member to ferve in Parliament for the county of Monaghan, in the room of H. Waller Weftenra, who had fucceeded to a Peerage. The Smits!' obferved, that! the cafe now brought before the Houle by the Hon. Member, was analogous to that of Lord Maitland; there having been in that cafe a new Writ granted in thb room of Lord Vircount Maitland, now Earl of Lauderdale, a Peer of Scotland, upon the af tertian of a Member of that Houk. Upbn fur ther inveftigation, he dikovered there were two &Eon. in The cafes of Lord Don nelly and Lord Annoy/a, both in funilar lunation: with Lord Itormore, in whore room new Writs were ifuecl. In *O4 two ;pliancy; they were merely fisted to be Peers of Ireland ; but he thought this Mould be altered to the title of a Peer of the United Kingdom, fince . Peers of Ire land were, by the Ad of Union, Piers of Great , Britain, except for certain purpoles: • • Mr. Daw.os obt,:rved, that the Lords Danully and Ai b town were fo crested, and their edits Were therefore different from that of .I.ord Roffrnore, who had fucceeded to his title. Mr. Covet faid, there could be no doubt of the propriety of the Hon. Gentleman's motion.-4'he fad was, however, that of the two cafes mention ed, one of them, Lord Donnelly, had fucceeded, to his title, and was therefore in the fame fituation with Lord Roffmore. lie highly approved of the Speaker's propofed alteration, which he confidered as a part of that honourable and manly condua which the SpeaLer had uniformly purfued with regard to Ireland, conducing to the fupport of its honour and its dignity, and fOr which he deferred the approbation and refpea of that country. The Motion was then carried—Adjourned. LONDON. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 3. PRICE or STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Cooks 68—Redueed 67—.4 per Cent. 841. per Cant 99 New ditto 98f..-4-008 Ann. 193.

The purchafers of Eftates in theft Winds taking the words, a indemnity for the paa Oat *rarity for the future," in their vulgar, inftead of their Miniferial seerfeatiox, have laid out _on ins. sttenfe capital in improving them—nalkfs than nine millions fierling. Finding theDutchWeft India poffeffions were to be reftored, they thought that at kart Come ftipu. lations were made to enable them to bring back' their property to Britain, and have accordingly made Come reprefentations to Lord HAWICISIVRY on this fubjeft, expretling their firm conviEtion, that their interefts had been fo far confulted, that they fhould experience no difficulty in bringing that property diredlr to England. The Noble Secretary, it is Paid, could not give a pofitive an. Ewer until he had fees M. Orro, when the parties were informed that the property mull be carried to France or Holland! which will, of eater, be attended with great lots and inconvenience to the proprietors, and confequently to the nation. Thofe who offered their fortunes have no caufe however to complain of having loft apart of them by the war; on the contrary, they ought to rejoice, that by peace, that is accomplifhed which war would not have effeCted—tbe falvation of the re .f We are lorry, and we believe the majority of our readers will be lorry to fee, from the proceedings in Parliament, that it is propofed to allow the dif fineries again to make ufe of grain. The high price of fpirits has almoll weaned thoufands of the labouring clafs from the vile and pernicious ha bit of drinking; and it is a fad that cannot be dif puted, that owing to Phis circumnance the health of the people bas been improved in 'lite of the 1 fcanty fupply of proZifions with which they were obliged to be fatisficd, in confequence of the high price of every neccccffary. .1 How cruel will it be then to allow any fyflem of revenue to lead Governwent not only to per mit, but to encourage drunkennefs and all its at tendant evils. Even the revenue becomes a fuf ferer ; for the true way ultimately to increafe revenue is by encouraging indultry, not by dif qualifying people for their labour. We defpair, however, of feting this truth aaed upon—How would we rejoice to find ourfelves difappointed ! We have fern paragraphs in Tome Papers lately, which fcem to have come from the Monopoly Mint, (a kind of coin to which it is now more difficult to give currency than it was lately,) Rating, that Corn is as high as t los. per quarter ip France. We had yelterday a letter from a Gentleman at Grave fend, who was in Boulogne on Friday lA, in forming us, that bread there was only half the price it is in London! A handle has been alfo en. deavoured to be made of permiffion granted to export corn to France—the permillion granted was a thing of courfe : the importers had a right before to export again to any part not at war with Britain—when France ceafed to be our enemy, the former prohibition eeafeti to be nectfrary. The holders of imported corn have Only the fame right they.bad before—that of ex porting it to any plate where they can obtain a higher price than in Britain : but notwithihmtling the great rednition in our markets, they molt be much lower before it will be for the lateral al ,~ corn-holden to export to another country. Th, l prices have been falling in every part of Europe, foci the figning of the Preliminaries ; and in us part are they fo high as in England.

On the ala ultimo, on board his Majefty's thip Anytime, arrived at Portfmouth the ikeleton of his Majelty's 67th, or Southampton regiment, after a paffage of forty•two days from Jamaica. The emotions and feelings which the appearance of this veteran body excited in every mind, may be eafily imagined. Indeed, when we behold in a haadful of men the whole remains of the St. D. mingo Army, we cannot bat the the horrid ravages of a climate which, in the Non period of Ids than fix years, has adually annihilated Inch an armament : where is the Briton who has not al ready paid the fad tribute of a tear over the deadly full-Brings which our brave and gallant force es perienced in that deftruaive Ifland I Too full ftill in all our 91emorier is the gloomy tale of their (of ferings to require recapitulation. If any thiog during their detention in that baneful countr), and ender the prefrure of filch circumftances, could equal the evils which they experienced, it was the unbroken fpirit, the foldier-like, the unavailing for• titude with which thofe evils were met and op. poled; but not even Britifh Courage can guard againft and furmount the infidious attacks of loch a climate. On the' vacuation of the Mole, fuch had already been the tneafures of our mortality, that a hot, which but a few years before (truck the whole Mend with terror, was now redeeed to a few hun dred men, and aaually comprefed in the (7th re giment. In Oaober 5798, the regiment left the Mole for Jamaica, where, in lets than three year', alma the whole of thofe brave fellows who ef caped the deleterious difeafes of St. Domingo, have found a grave. On this melancholy occafion we cannot but ob ferve, on the fate of the 67th regiment, that it ap pears peculiarly fevere, having been only eleven months in Great Britain during 11 the 'aft eighteen years, the whole of which period their lervice s have been confined to the moltruinous, fhatteriog. and (in a military point of view) lets brilliant 'quarter of the Globe, for the difplay of profellional conduit.
