liament, this difcretion alfo it would be the objed of his meafure to take away, and that the whole produce fhonld, combined with the Fund he had already defcribed, be applicable to the reduaion of the National Debt. The operation of this pro. jet% he trufted, would be to difcharge the whole debt w►thin a period of forty-five years. He con cluded with moving,that the Afts of the 26th and 32d of the King fhould be read, which being read accordingly, he moved—That the Houfe fhould on Tueiday next rcfolve into a Committee on the faid Ads.—Agreed co.—The Right Hon.

Mr. Ti rR V L Y la►d, that according to his concep tion one hundred millions would be paid off with►n thirty•o::e years. POOR BILL. SI mto moved — the Houfe to refolve itfelf into a Committee on the Poor Regulation Bill. Mr. OSBORNE after fome obfervations on the fe vet ity of the ia of James 11. which gave power to a hlagiftrate to commit a woman to prifon for twelve months, who fhould have a bollard, and be incapable of maintaining it, moved that it fhould be an inftruaion to the faid Committee to receive a claufe to limit the term of this imprifonment to three months. Sir R. Borrox confidered the law altogether rather unfair, for it was only enforced againft poor women. He fhould recommend to the Hon. Gen tleman to propofe a claufe to fubjee all women who Mould have bollards to the fame term of imprifon ment. ,Mr. SIMEON oppored the chute as not within the precincts of the Bill, but rather advifed the Hon. Gentleman to bring forward a diflina mea• Cure for the purpofe, of which he did not dif approve. Lord SHEFFIELD raid, the law of James the Se cond had never been ailed upon but in extreme cafes, and that it was a ufeful terror to •icious women. He therefore would refill the Hon. Gen tleman's motion. _ _ The motion was negatived without a divifion; the Houfe went into a Committee on the Bill, in which a converfation took place between Mr. St- Mow, Mr. Srukcess, Sir W. Mit.awl, and Mr. Dickens, the refolutions, with a claufe added relative to adjudged baflards, were agreed to.— The Houfe refumed ; the report was received, and ordered to be taken into further confideration on Thurfday the 6th of May.—Adjourned.

Their MayesTits, accompanied by all the Pala cams, honoured Covent Garden Theatre !aft night. to fee the Comic Opera of the Damao, and the new ballet of Brazen MO. The fcience and tafte of Mrs. BILLINCTON were never difplayed to more advantage than in the Opera ; and the Entertainment, which has received feveral material improvements fine the firs per formance, was prodative of univerfal fatisfaCtion. The characters are judicioufly fuited to the powers of the refpe&ive Performers, and the machinery and dreffes are diftinguithed for fuperior tafte, and a liberality of expence that borders on profufion.— , Among the fcenic exhibitions, the Salt Mine, with its various excavations, by WHITMORE, is entitled to an eminent rank for natural colouring and* powerful effect. The dreffes of the Royal groupe afforded much variety. The OZ%IEEN wore a robe of a dark body, and white fatm fleeves. Her head drefs was a chile cap, with a profufion of jewels. The Princefs ELIZABETH wore a robe of the fame colour as the Q . slaam's, vandyked in filver round the bofom. Her head drefs confin ed of a large full plume of white oftrich feathers, with a large diamond crefcent in front, from which rofe a bunch of bird of paradife feathers.— There two dreffes had a very fplendid effe&. The robes of the other four Pr iscessrs were white and flyer. That of the Princefs AMELIA was parti cularly remarkable for its neatnefs and fimplicity. Her head drefs was in the fame Ityle, confining of a plain clofe bandeau, and a green feather, without any diamonds. The head dreffes of her two next elder fitters differed only in the foundations, and were furmounted alike with tall flat white oftrich plumes (landing Ma in front. The head drefs of the other Princefs was a black bandeau, braided with diamonds, and ornamented with, a bunch of purple and white feathers. The Royal box was further embellithed by the prefence of the Marquis of SALISBURY, Lord MORETON, Earl CHESTER FIELD, and feveral other of the royal attendants. The Duke of Krwr fat in the oppofite box on the lower tier. The Houfe was extremely cronded, the gallery part of which was molt indecoroufly noify, and the company in the pit were greatly in commoded by the erotic!, particularly the ladies, many of whom fainted with the heat. Dainty Lama laft night had to boaft of one of the fulleft and moft falhionable audiences we have feen this feafon. At an early hour the pafFsges were crouded with people who could not find feats. It is pleafing to obferve that good plays and good aaing have Rill their attraaion, and that SHAKE s P EARS and Mrs. JORDAN are not only praifed, but followed. Mrs. JORDAN, in Nell, difplayed that, powerful comic vein which belongs to her. BAN- N irrsz's joyon was likewife very entertaining, and it allows confiderable latitude to broad hu mour. Mrs. Hsasows made a very fpirited Lady Loverule, and gave a new intereft to the part.

The LEVIATHAN, of 74 guns, Rear-Admiral DUCKWORTH, had ar rived from the Leeward Iflands to take on him the command of the I3ritifh fleet at Jamaica. The Inhabitants of Falmouth, in the Mani of Antigua, were greatly alarmed by the fhock of an earthquake, which took place there on the ad of February laft. Some damage was occafioned by the circumflance, but not to any confiderable amount. The Swirr packet arrived on Wedneillay from Calais, with Gx honks of the Arabian breed, two for his MAJESTY, two for the Prince of WALE!, and two for Lord ELGue. They came through France and Germany from Conflantinople ; one iron grey horfe is very vicious, having killed two or three people ; nobody dares approach him but one foreigner, without his being muzzled, and his four feet (hopped - together with strong leather [traps, to prevent his kicking ; the fluidics and ftirrups are of the Turkith kind.

In the courfe of a very animated debate, it was moved by Mr. IN p EY, and feconded by Mr. HE NC H NAN, to leave out all the words after "That," in order to infcrt the following : Refolved, " That the queftion of Private Trade between India and Britain, on which fuck oppofite opinions are holden by perfons of the higheft au. thority, appear to this Court to involve confidera• tions of the utmoft importance, as well to the Eaft India Company, as to the maritime, commercial, and political interells of this kingdom ; snd this Court is of opinion, that previous to the final ar• rangement of a permanent fyftem, a full and fair experiment fhould be made, as propofed by the Board of Commil:Goners for the affairs of India."

In the early part of their un happy fituation they fitted tht boat with what they could get together, and when in the :la of putting off the funk, and one man was drowned. The Duke of Kent, after having there perfens on board ten days, fell in with an American brig bound for Liverpool, in which they have taken their paiTage ; and in proof of the wonder work ing ways of PROVIDPNCI, it remains to be added, that a few hours after thole poor Lllows were picked up by the Duke of Kent, a heavy gale of wind came on, which, had they remained in their former perilous fituation, mutt, in all probability, have proved their dearation. Arrived the ESCORT and Issot.swr gun brigs, from a cruize after fmugglers; and Brothers, Ltott, from Briftol for Dubltn. 112
