After fpeaking fome Noble Lords near him,' Lordthip faiJ, be would name a day, beyond that named by any other Noble Lord, on which I.c would pledge himfelf to bring it forward at all cli ents; he therefote moved, That the Houfe be loomed on to-morrow fe'nnight, (Tuefday the of March.) The Report of the Judges en the Duke of Nor filk's Eftate Bill was brought in anclread.—Ad. 'maned till to-morrow at half after Three. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Several Members were (worn in, among whom Mr. Erficine the oaths and his feat, and Mr. Percival, who bad ?not ci his Seat on being appointed Solicitor General Leave was granted to Sir John Mordaunt, and Mr. John rat, to be ablent, notwithitanding the Call of the Houle. Mr. Su t lUDAN moved fora new Weit for the county of Gal uay, in the room of Mr. St. George Daly, who has been sp rinted Efcheator of Meath. Mr. H. &towers moved for a new Writ far the county of &@s, in the room of Robert Dundas Sanders, Efq. who hat I:crated the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. LONG brought up a variety of Eftimates of different Tarn of the Public Service, which were ordered to lie on the Table. Oa the motion of Mr. Bragge, the Committee on the Expir- Irg Laws was re-appointed. Sir Sidney Smith's Penfion Bill was dikulfed in a Committee oldie whole Houle, and the date of Its commencement was hull from the sift of May, 1799, the period when the French :rmy retreated from the walls of Acre. Mr. Hoishoure faid, that this donee completely anticipated what he meant to ad- I since, and therefore he fhould content himfelf with expreffing 64 euisfadion at this arrangement. The Exchequer Bills Bill was read a fecond time, and corn t:itted for to-morrow. The Poit Office Bill was alto read a fecond time, and corn rived for Wcdnefilay. Mr. D. RYDER, after adverting &only to the Ad piffled in t t, bit Seffion of Parliament for granting a Bounty on American Hour, moved, that the Ad be read, and that it be confidered Ina Committee of the whole Houle tomorrow.—Agreed to. He then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Ad 'Bed in the 36th of his prefent IVlajeßy, empowering Bakers to flake W.:ad of various kinds of Grain. It was refolved that the Committee of Ways and Means ,ald again fit oa Wednefday. MASTER OF THE ROLLS iN IRELAND* Lord CarrtEREAGH faid, he rofe in purfuance a Notice which he had given on a former occa a:al, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the riapofe of making the Office of Mailer of the olls in Ireland, an efficient, legal Office. It s As, perhaps, not neceffary to inform the Houfe, tart in Ireland, that Office was held during the pleafure of the Crown, and was not, as it was in 1 1 .;; Country, an efficient, legal Office. Under al prefent circumftances, however, as the 'Lord ~ .h.ancellor molt neceffarily be frequently in this t. , nintry, it was neceffary that he fhould have a legal Affifiant in the Mailer of the Rolls. With :ilk view his Lordfhip faid, he fhould move for 'toe to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Office of Mager of the Rolls, for making it a place for life, as in England, and for fettling the Salary in a manner different from that in which it was now paid. The SPEAKER fuggefted, that as the propofed Bill would have for Its objeft to make up the de fsciency in the falary out of the public confolidated fund, it would be expedient to refer this motion to a Committee of the whole Houfe. Lord CASTLIREAGH contented, and moved, t the Houfe fhould to-morrow refolve itfelf Leto a Committee of the whole Houle upon that Mr. BILAGGS then moved, that it be an inftruo. :on to the Committee appointed, to confider what of may be necelary in the orders of is Houfe in confequence of the Union, and to sport their opinion thereon from time to time to is Houk ; to confider• farther what alterations • refpea of qualifications on property may be ne ttifary to be adopted in confequence of the fame vent.—Agrecd to. IRISH MILITIA. Lord CASTL!RIAOH moved, the fecond reading F the Bill for increafing the number of Field Of ets in the Irifh Regiments of Militia. Sir WILLIAM &SOHO rote, not for the purpore (Laing any °Nations to the Bill, but to hint e propnety of adopting Come other regulations ith regard to the officers of the Militia in this entry. He conceived that a certain part of the hccrs in the regiments of Englifh Militia were • titled to fome other provision than that which ey poliefred under the laws as they now exifted. He particularly alluded to the cafe of the furgeons ho. by the fyftem of the Militia fervice as efta ti:ihed in Ireland, obtained half pay, whereas tey had no provilion made in this country on the ouchafion of p a peace. He thought it was a debt uitic.! to men who had been long in the fervice. .11 who, in fulfilling the duties of their nation in . service, had renounced all other profpcfls, ,ould receive Con t e remuneration, without which 'LT would be turned look, unprovided for, and ftitutc of means of comfortable fubfillence. He rely threw out theft hints for the confederation the Houle, without, however, bringing for d any motion on therubjett. .4r. 1105140U:I thought, that before attempting reduce the fyftem of the frith and Englith mi. to the fame flandard, it was of importance ifeeit.iin whether any inconvenience has refult dfror.) the fyllem which has hitherto obtained ? was of opinion that before the prefent Bill d. tie allowed to be expedient, it was the dn. .1 the Noble Lord who propofed it to Phew :at it would be produttive of advantage to the rice. Lord CAST LtllliAC H in reply Mewed that a con 4.rable augmentation of the different regiments 4. • taken place, and on this principle contended at there ought to be a proportional augmenta ' nal the Field Officers. 3:r. Hos/101711 profeffed himfelf to be perfettly tied w i t h the esplanation given by the Noble •ti of the eirctunitances which had induced him Ling in the Bill. ‘ l, • &partials approved highly of the hints :,."%n out by the Honourable Baronet (Sir W. and declared his intention to give every 6 1: encouragement to any plan of relief for t Pert of the Militia Officers to which he had .14.1 r Trills Member approved of the increafe of the , Field Officers, becaufe many of them were Member?, and would be compelled to attend thcir duty in Parliament.. _ _ Lord ea LLLLL EACH faid, that whatever might be the opinion of the Monte refpeding the Sur pans of Militia, it would perhaps be better not to infert any claufe upon the fubjeet itt the prefent Bill, which related entirely to the Irifh Militia. Sir W. ELFOILD Paid that if Come Steps were not taken by MiniSlers upon this fubjeet, he Should himfelf bring forward a Bill for that purpofe. MESSAGE. A meflage from the Lords informed the Houfe that their Lordihips had agreed to the bill for the repeal of the Brown Bread Ad paired during the laft fellion of Parliament. LOAN BILL. The Houfe went , into a Committee on the 28 Millions Loan Bill, and a new claufe was brought up by Mr. Rofe, authorizing the Commiffioners of the Treafury in Ireland to fet apart certain (urns for the repayment of that part of the loan, which was made for the purpofe of defraying the charges of the joint eftablilhment of Ireland. Sir JOHN PARNELL role to make a few remarks on this claufe, and Rated that he was unable clear ly to perceive the principle on which it was pro duced. He conceived that it was contrary to the nature of conllitutional proceedings, to vote the fum which the claufe contained till it was known to the Houle that it was neceflary for the ends of the public fervice. He felt it his duty to recur to what he had Rated on a former occafion, and to fay that he was far from being fatisfied with the manner in which the extent of the feparate eßablilh ment of Ireland had been Rated. He Rill had a firong fufpicion that a part of the expence to be de frayed by Ireland was not explained with fuffici ent precillon, and that a certain proportion of it would ultimately fall upon England. At all events he faw no fufficient evidence of what was the real deficiency in the taxes of Iceland, and maintained that the whole fubjekt of Irilh expen diture and of Irifh finance, ought to be fully fub mined to the Houfe. He confidered that it would he a difgrace to the hundred Irifh Gentlemen who fat to reprefent the interefts of their country, if they thould Rifler this matter to be paffed over as a mere bufinefs of courfe, though millions were to be voted away, without the produ&ion of any documents, explaining in what manner they were to be expended. On this principle he was of opi nion that the vote ought to be delayed till the circumllanccs on which it ought to be founded, were fuhmitted to the confideration of the Houfe. Mr. Rose Paid, that though his Right Honour able Friend (Mr. Pitt) in opening the Budget did not enter fo fully as the Right Honourable Baro net feemed to with, into all the different branches of the Irifh Supply, he had clearly (fated that 2,500,0001. would be neceffary for the joint charges of Ireland. Though he had not then entered into a detail of particulars, but had mere ly confined himfelf to the ftatement of the fum to be wanted, he would be prepared at any fubfe quent period with fufficient vouchers for this fum. and with accounts prefenting a complete view of all the branches of Irith expence. l'he Loan of 2R,000,0001. was to be charged in the firft inftance wholly on England, and the only °Ned of the clank now propofed was merely to enable the Commiffioners of the Treafury in Ireland to make arrangements for the repayment of this fum.— In the future confederation of this fubjed he would be highly gratified in hearing any obfervations which the Right Honourable Baronet might think it neceffary to fuggeft ; but in the mean time it was of the utmoft confequence for the purpofes of the public fervice that no delay fhould take place. Sir Joss Panttxxx confidered it to be very in confiftent, firft to vote a large fum of money, and then to have papers produced explaining to what purpofes it was to be applied. He was far from having any with to embarrafs public Winer% but he could not help repeating his former obfer vation, that no fpecific ftatement had been given, either of the deficiency of the Irith taxes, or of the fubjeets to which the Itith Loan was to extend. The Houfe was then retned, and the Report or dered to be received to-morrow. HIGH PRICE OF PROVISIONS. Mr. BANKS brought up the Report of the Com mittee appointed to enquire into the caufes of the prefent high price of Provilions, and, after a few remarks, withed that it might be taken into con. fidcration on Wednefday. After a %bort converfation, however, between Mr. Hobhoufe, Mr. Ryder, Mr. Buxton, and Mr. NVilberforcc, it was refolved, that it be confidered on Friday, and in the mean time be printed for the ufe of the Members. IRISH STATUTES. The SPFARWII acquainted the Houle, that a pet - fon attended with the Ira Statutes, in conic. qucnce of an Addrefs to his MAJESTY for that purpofe, but as it would be inconvenient to bring them in, he propofcd, that the Kcy of the Box which contained them, fhould be given to the Clerk.—An order was given for that purpofc, and the Mottle adjourned at az o'clock.

The KING'S indilpofition has put a flop to all the Miniflerial arrangements which were intended to have been completed yefterday. We find that Mr. ADDINGTON'S Elation can be pollponed till Saturday next, as the writ fpecifics that the elation may take place in four, but not later than eight days after its ilfue. The day on which Mr. AD. DINGTON will be !worn into the office of Prime Minifter is now undecided; and the other new ap pointments are under the fame predicament. The Paws of WALES and all the Branches of the Royal Family were very early yefterday at the Queen's Houfe, where they breakfafted, and continued during the greateft part of the day. Enquiries were made by almoft all the Nobility and Gentry in the habit of viliting the Court, and the Park was thronged with carriages. It is not poffible to exprcfs the anxiety which the illnefs of his MAJESTY creates upon every occafion, but more particularly at this critical and important conjunfture of affairs. Loyalty, gratitude, and per fonal affeetion for our excellent Sovereign, too deeply intereft the hearts of all his fubjeCts, to have made it poffible at any time for them to regard his indifpolition with indifference, or to omit their moll ardent prayers for his recovery. But there never was a moment when the Kixo's health was fo pe culiarly necefrary to his people as at prefent. It is rumoured in the political circles that the reply from the King of Pruffia is not fo favourable :is could have been wicked. He acceded, he lays, to the Treaty concluded between the Emperor of Ruffin and King of Sweden on the 16th Decem ber, bccaufe thc principle on which it is founded was imperioully called for by the unjuft and of fentive interruptions that had been given to fair and innocent commerce, and by the ftrained con ftruFlion which had been put in the Englifh Ad miralty Courts on the Law of Nations, in regard to the right of vifitation and fearch. His MA JE sty exprefres his anxious defire to maintain the good undertianding which fo happily fuhfifis be tween the two Courts; arid hopes that his Bri. tannic Majefty will feel that it is elfential to the interefts of all Commercial Nations as well as to the tranquillity of Europe, that the neutral code should be forthwith cftablifhcd on a footing fo clear and manifeft as to put an end to all contro verfy and mifunderfianding on the fulijed $ and that as a preliminary flep thereto he would take off the embargo which had been laid in his ports upon the (hips and property of the filbjelts of the KINGS of Swatorx and DENMARK, his Allies; and by this aft of juftire prevent the neceflhy of his taking meafures for the protedlion of there Allies, as well as of htmfelf. The letters from Hamburgh confirm the report of the tenor of this official ncte. All Pruflian wads (and many fcch veffils had been taken up by the Englith merchants) are prevented from failing.—lt was notified to the Pruffian Minitler at Hamburgh, that he mail prevent them from failing ; and accordingly feveral (hips that had their cargoes on board were (loin. The Regulation. dined by the KING of SIVIDIN for the commerce of that country (given in a pre. ceding column) will be found to contain impor tant explanations of the principle of the Northern Confider icy. Ships not under convoy are to fob mit to viCtation, and to produce all their papers.
