The Univerfitits Advow fon Bill was read the third time, and paired. Wt. ST. VINCENT. Sir ANDREW HAMOND fail, that amongft a number of official papers laid before the Houfe, upon the molion of an Honourable Admiral (Mark barn), was a letter tv the Navy Board from the Board of Adntisalty, dated 19th Glibber, 1802, and con taining a copy ef the minutes of their Lordfhips' proceedings of the 16th of the fame month. He bad not himiilf particularly adverted to the circum• Rance till morning, when he found it would be neceffary that the anfwer of the Navy Briard to that lettet fhould be alio before the Houfe, and be wifhed to be permitted to lay it on the table.. On Mr. Speakei'v foggeftion that it Would be more regular t o mov e for the paper, he accordingly moved, That a Copy 4111 e laid Anfoer be laid before the Houfe. Aelmoal MARKHAM tole, net, he Paid, to op- pore the predation of the paper now moved for, as he bad no Ltleeth n to the prodation of any paper whatfoever that might give the Houfe any neceffary information on thiv fulijat, but to esprefs fome de• gree of Ito pi iae at the circumflarsce of moving for a paper, declared to be fome importance, on the very evening previous to the difculllon of an impor- tant futica to which it related, and when it would be impoibble to have that paper in the hands of Members in time preparatory to that dircuillon.— There were many papers fur whiCh he had moved, and w liich were not yet printed. There were many other,. which he alto might think important, and might be &thous of moving for ; but his only ra tis for not fo moving was a with not to impede any, longer the pi-fwled dircullion. • Mr. KINNAIRD role to expects his extreme re luaarite, that a difcuffion of fo much magnitude and impottance fhould be preffed forward on to-morrow, when now, upon the very eve of that diauffion, it was declared by Hon. Gentlemen on both fides of the Route, and both highly interefled in that difcuffion, that there were yet many papers' of importance to the queition, and which were abfolutely neceffary to in form the Houfe, not yet laid before it, and which it would now be impoffible to bring forward. To the H. mailable Member who propofed to bring for ward fohje& to-morrow, no blame could attach; t °old any man fay, that he had not given the Houle an le time to prepare ; but if he was now in his place, be (Mr. Kinnaird) fhould not hefitate to put the_anitter to his own liberality, whether it would be ta;r or candid, even after all the delay to which be had acceded, to profs the Houfe deci (ton, and at this period of the felEem, for which it now appeared it could not be duly prepared. He &mild hope that, if the Honottrable• Member was f l ow in his place, I.e would have no oblation to the Rill lathe, poftpnnement of hi: motion. Sir A. HAMOND laid,' that with refpe& to the vapor for which he had jult moved, as •the letter was before the Houle, fo he thought the anfwer esould be alfo. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER coincided ht the opinion exprelfed by Mr. Kinnaird, and thought it extiemely defo able, at thi• hoe pe riod of the feffion, when it would be imp -frible that lubjat of fu Mud. moment would be C. amply &- cuffed as it; imr.rtanee'requited, that it lhould be pollponed to another fel/ion of Parliament. He had himlelf opinion, on the fulled, which lie fhould cer tainly expret; whenever it Ihould e. , me regularly be fore the Houle; but he hoped. there would be no ob. jeflion to poflponc it until there va, a more favour. able opportunity fur giving it that dircuffion to which 1 it was entitled. • _ _ _ Mr. JEFFERY (who was in the Houfe) rote, and raid, he felt it extremely hard upon him, after the repeated delays to which he had acceded, week af ter week ; after the pains he had taken to prepare himfelf on this Inkier% that lie fhould now be called upon to pollp me it to a future fellion of Parliament. He had only to fay that, from the documents he had moved, he was prepared to fiibllantiate his charges agaiofl the Noble Earl ; and that, although delay was now propoled for the want of other docu ments not yet laid Ware the Houfe, he could truly alert that the papers which had been moved for by the Honourable Admiral had no more relevancy to the fubjea than to any other fubjea, however extra neous. He begged, however, to remind the Houfe, that he was prepared to fubdantiate his charges againa the Noble Lord to the full fatisfaaion of the Houfe, and to prove that to which he had already pledged himfelf ; namely, that Lord St. Vincent was the worft enemy this country ever raw (ti ca!! .f Order I Order ! Order !) He would repeat the alfer tion, and he was ready to fubdantiate the fail ; and, however fevere upon himfelf, or hurtful to his feel: logs, to be called on, after fo many delays, and fo much pains as he had taken to prepare himfelf for the talk he had undertaken, to poßpone the bufinefs to another fellion, yet, if it was the fenfe of the Houle that he fhould do to, he would fubmit ; at the, fame time, however, folemnly pledging himfelf not to recede from his objea one inch, and that no man or body of men fhould, by any endeavours to .procraftinate, prevent him from bringing it forward immediately after the opening of the next fellion of Parliament. Admiral MARKHAM treated the potation of the Hon. Gentleman as a mere afTertion, which could se prefent be oppofed only by affertiOns of the fame na ture. He had never wifhed for any procraftination in the bufinefs, unfelt fo far as to give time for docu menu, which he confidered as neeeflary and impor tant to be laid before the Houfe, and the patty accufed had certainly a right to move for what papers they thought proper. Mr. TIERNEY deprecated the language that had been held by the Hon. Gentleman in the prefent Rage of the bufinefs, as datemems in • this manner found their way to the public without the proper means of contradiaing them, though in point of candour, he thou ght the Hon. Gentleman, along with his notice, might give Tome idea of the ohje9s of his motion, that Lord St. Vincent's friends might better be able to move for fuch papers as would meet thofe (Nees. Mr. JEFFERY was very willing, did the Houle think him at liberty, to Rate the critic& of his motion. His charge againd Lord St. Vincent was, that from the time he entered on office as Firß Lord of the Admiralty, in February, aot, he had neglated to keep the (hips in good repair that we had, nor did he exert himfelf fufficientiy in building new ones, either in the King's or Merchants' yards—he had not even laid down the [flips that he had ordered to be built, and for a very good reafon, that he had allowed the yards to be deliitute both of timber and men, whom he had prematurely difcharged. In no one way, he maintained, had he kept the Navy in proper repair, nor did his duty as a Firli Lord of the Admiralty, but had employed his whole force in laying up his (hips in ordinary, at half the expence that would have kept them in repair. Admiral MARKHAM faid, that having heard the charges alledged by the Hon.Gentleman.he would (hape his UR of papers that he meant to move fur ac cordingly. Mr. WILBERFORCE wifhed the Hon Gentle. man to Rate to the Houle the nature and objcd of his motion, in a clear and comprehenlive way, that the Houle might be fully aware of the lubjea it had to riding's, and Members might be fully prepared, iti the courfe of the vacation, to meet the queflion with competence; when it fhould be brought forward. Sir WM. ELFORD faid, his 'Hon. Friend had fuly !bated the heads of his feveral charges, but it was hardly fair to call upon him to Rate precifely the motion he intended to ground upon. thofe charges. Here the converfation ended, and Sir Andrew mood's motion was agreed to. It was fully underilood that Mr. Jeffery's quaint* is poßponed till next &Ilion. DUES OF ATHOL'S CLAIM. Mr. WILBERFORCE role to make his promifed motion, that an humble Addrefs be prefented to his Majelly, praying that he will be gracioully pleafed to appoint Commiffionere to enquire into the Claim of the Duke of Athol to a further Compenfation for his former rights in the Ifle of Man. The CHANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQUER obferved, that he had heard little elfe this night than A recapitulation of former arguments on the fuhjea. One point, however, he thought worthy of notice, that was the fuppofition of the entire voluntary con currence of the Duke of Athol to the original agree ment about the difpolal of his rights in the Ilk of Man. It mutt be tecolletied that an over rigorous meafureitad been adoired by that Houfe in order to terrify LW Noble Duke—that he was not unlike a perfon whd capitulated on terms. Was it then fur piling that halsould have been rather glad to give up a part that' face the danger which then threat ened the wholtrolhis revenue? The prefent Duke now came to appeal to the liberality of the Houfe, and that Houfe would certainly not think of plead ing a Statute of Limitations to their liberality; they would not think of ordering that any precife fora thould be alcertained and proved as if it were in a Court of Law ; they would not think of guiding their conduit by formal rules or precedents, as if they had to tax a bill of colts. But they would give with a liberality worthy 'of the great objea which was Cub. mitted to them, 'and becoming the honour and libe ral charaaer of Parliament. • Mr. WINDHAM erpreffed Come dcgree of furprife at hearing the Right Hop. Gentleman now bring this matter of compenfation forward as an appeal to .1 . • & . the liberality of the Houfe. After fo much difenffion, the fabled was now brought into the region of fenti ment. He did not like to talk much of fentiment in fo thin a Houle ; but he would fay, that according to the molt arid and literal meaning of the word as applied by Tome of the belt Writers incur Language, he confidered this tranfadion to be neither more nor lets than &redly. plainly and palpably a job. Mr. SHERIDAN declared, that he had fupported the claims of the Noble Duke, becaufe he had thought him to be an injured and an oppreffed man, in the fame manner as he had beep known on former oceafions to have given his fupport to others who might be fuppofed to be in a more helplefs fituation. But in fad one principal reafon why he voted for compenfa - don being given to the Noble Duke was, becaufe he eonfidered that we, having great power, had made a bargain with a man who was utterly belplefs. The Honourable Member then took a moil comprehen five view of the various debates, public opinions, and private letters on the Coble& from all of which he maintained that it was evident the Duke of. Athol would have gained more by regulation in his revenges than he ever did by any illicit trade; that the trawl . - 'anion alluded to the file of his right, was matter, of regret to him for the remainder of his life, and that Tome of the molt eminent men had at the time thought that the fubjed ought to be recenfidered. He therefore was of opinion that the prefent was an appeal to the manly liberality (putting aide all idea of the fiimfy word Centimetre), to the dignity and the honourable charafter of the Houfe. Mr. CURWEN denied that hii Grace of Athol bad the ability to ipereafe the fair revenues of the ifland to the extent, or in the manner which had been fuppofed. and fupported the motion for levity. Lord TEMPLE fpnke elf° in favoirr of the motion. He denied that the opinion of a Noble relative of his (Lord Grenville) was favourable to the claims of the Noble Duke. Mr. BARHAM adverted to an exprcflnn which had fallen from a Right Hon. Gentleman oropolite him (Mt. Windham), and Paid that he would be equally juflifled in his application of the word job; he might with equal propriety fay that all oppofition to further pompenfation was a job. Sir WILLIAM ELFORD was of opinion that a fair appeal was made, not only to the liberality bat to the Jake of the Houle. Mr. BANKES fupported the motion, as there did not appear to him to be any fads before the Houfe upon which it could be enabled to form a comet judgment on the cafe. It was ' of all others, a cafe that molt particularly called for inquiry • and the moll proper way to do that would be by th e appoint ment of Cotnmigioners. Mr. W. SMITH (poke at Tome length for the mo tion. Mr. GRAHAM Rated, that the Duke of Athol would confider this as the final fettlement of his claims. He would be fatigfied with the decifion of the Houle; whatever it might be. Sir W. BURROUGHS nppofed the motion. Mr. WILBERFORCE replied; after which the Houfe divided—Ayes 23-.-Noes 61—Majority 38. The other Orders of the Day were then difpofed of, and the Houfe adjourned. • LONDON. TUESDAY, JULY I. PRICE OP STOCKS THIS DAV AT ONE O'CLOCEt • Cool* for J4IT 54111.—italiced sEff—Osunlasa 3 4. We announced yefferday the arrival of intelligence of the combined fleets having reached the Weft In dies.

Fears are entertained of an attack on St. Lu cie. This Ifland is more valuable in a political and military, than in a commercial view. The harbour is admirably fitted for a nation to watch the motions of the French at Martinique.

In this light we certainly are led to confider their Ray at Fort Royal, where, according to the only further in formation to that received from Captain MAVllici, at the Diamond, they remained on Friday latt ; for fo formidable a fleet as they now form cannot be coa -1 ceived to intend only the plunder of our Wands, and the deßruCtion of our commerce, when they may, ra ther purfue a more honourable plan, by feeking the tyntquill of our Wands. What foccefs may attend [hell in this, depends fo greatly upon ourfelves (the inter nal Rrength, refources, and valour of the colonies), that it needs no argument to fummon our loyalty, or entice our exertions.—We feel a firmly reliance on the King's regular troops, and look to the example of Dominica for a brave and. manly co-operation of the Colonial forces throughout all the Manch ; and we are confident that be their attack where it may, I the united fleet of France and Spain will find, that the union of difcipline . and eourage will form a btd wark of defence that thalt COII them more lots and labour to OVCTCOIIIei than (if the, havered) can re ward their conquelt.
