FR4ATE. PARIS, NOVEIVIRER 14. In the war of 1740, as well as during the courfe of the tall war, England lent the Houle of Ani ma different furns on the feeurity of the Low Countries, th.,t is, on the public revmues of that country, and the private domains of the Prince. We learn now, by letters from Vienna, that thofe loans arc about to become the fubjett of a particu lar negociation between Auftria and the Englith Government. C. liAese, Under-Commifrary at Norfolk, in America, has been appointed. Commaary of Com mercial Relations at New York. . . C. kOM!Et', Adjutant-Commandant, has been'' appointed Commidary-General of Commercial Re lations. and Chargi• d'Affaires to the Republic of the Seven United Planets._ . By a Proclamation ot Brumaire 19th, zoth year, (Nov. to,) the Confuls have declared, that agree ably to the 2ld article of the Conftitution, the feilion of the tegifiative Body will open in the year to, on the tit Frimaire, (Nov. as,) at noun, at By a decree of the fime day, they have prefcri• bed the ceremonial of opening the fartan : it will be announced b• feveral difcharges of artillery: the Miniller of the interior will receive the Mem bers of the Legiflative Andy : three CounfeUors of State will repait to the Legiflative Body, and one of them will fpeak in the name of Government. The news of the Peace with England has low ered the price of all kinds of provifion in Italy.— The Cifalpine Government has given orders that this happy event shall be celebrated throughout the Republic by a fete, which is find for the 9th of December. SILEST, NOVEMBFR 8. The opening of the new Exchange was celebra ted here yeßerday by the Prefident of the Tribu nal of Commerce. After reading various. papers relative to this Eftablithment, a enmniillion of three Merchants was appointed to draw up, in concert with the Mayor, the proees verbal of the taking poffeffion of the Chapel of the Little Con- vent and its dependencies. It was by a miltake that General Lectrac was Rated to have arrived in this city ; it was only one of his Aides-de Camp.—General I.sci.lac is ex pelled in a few days. The four Statues which Government has castled to be made for this city, have been fent off from Paris on the Seine, and will be conveyed hither by fea. BOURDFAUX, NOWT.MBER /. A great many &angers have arrived to be pre fent at the fair, but little bufinefs is done, every article being at a very high price ; stone but Colo- Mal goods have experienced a reduftion. The carafe of this Ilagnation of trade k, that nothing is fold on credit, and very little money is in circulation. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Beans, Nov. 7.—The greater part of the Mem bers of the Diet have returned to their homes.— The public tranquillity has not been any where difturbed. The Helvetic troops have already quitted the final! cantons. They are on their re turn to Lucerne. The Helvetic Senate is conftitut ed, and DOLOR% is appointed Prefident. RAI-IMMO. OCT. 3t.—The Mir.iller of Auftrla has notified to his colleagues, that in confequence of an arrangement between the Emperor, the French Government and the King of Pruflia, the deputation of the Empire will affemble in this city. This notice has been made in order to accelerate the bufinefs of indemnifications, and to avoid the appearances of opening a new Congrefs with the French Republic. The bfinifters of Bohemia and Auftria have es. preffed to the Diet his Majefty's grateful acknow ledgement on the fubjetl of the monument to be ereded in honour of the Archduke Citsatss. It was generally believed here, that the diffe rences between Berlin and Vienna had been, if not arranged, at kelt on the point of being fo. We have Juft been undeceived in a very unexpeßed manner. The Minifters of Bohemia and Aufhie to the Diet have communicated officially to leveret other Minifters and Envoys a Notefrom the Impe. rial Chancery of Vienna. in which the proceedings of the Chapters of Munfter and Cologne are not only entirely approved of, but expreffions are snide ufe of very fingular with refpeet to the King of Prnffia. It is afferted that this note will have all the publicity which papers of this fort never obtain, but in cafes of very marked snifunder. sanding. Count GOERTZ, who has been informed of this note, has teftified his difapprobation in an unequivocal manner. • This official paper produces in general a very great fenfation it proves that there cliffs little harmony between ?ruffle and Altana relative to the fecnlarizations. An eyes are fixed on the Cabinet of Berlin. Some gloomy politicians fear a rupture•between the two great Powers of Ger. many. Manor. Nov. 4.—This day the I.egiflative Body received a mcffage from the Government. in which, with a few reftrittions. it is propofed to repeal—r. The Proclamation of the States Ge neral liked on the s7th March, t 795, prohibiting the exportation of all articles oiled in conftruaing, repairing, or equipping veffels, or the tale of ref fels to perfons refuting on foreign commies.

Of this hope, how ever, they have juit been deprived; no Mention having been made in the fecret articles for the re iteration of the STATTHOLDIR, but.that his -High neti is to be indemnified either by or pof feffions in Germany.

The Elders of the Communities hav ing reprefented that this article gave rife to an un favourable interpretation, the Diretctors have de dared, that the only objeEt of the ordinance was to put an end to the injullice refulting from a refponfability, which was not accompanied with fufficient means of vigilance, and to fecond 'the Jews in their honourable efforts to improve their facial flue. The article in quellion related to commiffions of cenfure, to be named in the Jewiff; Communities, for expelling thofe who may be guilty or fufpelted of robbery, and •to prevent the admiffion of vagabond foreigners.

IRISU PEELS. The Honfe refolved into a Committee to take' into contideration the Report of the Special Com•' mittee to whom was referred the confederation of, certain of the Standing Orders refreEting 'the in." terference of Peers of the Realm at Eleetions Por i Members of Parliament. Mr. Banc.:, role and obferved, that the Report of the Committee having been-printed atid in the hands of every Member, it became the lets necef fary for him to trefpafs on the attention' of the Committee at any length upon the fuhjelt, or to detail the reafons why the Committee had• drawn that line which was fpecified in their Refo lution. The new fituation in which the Peers; of Ireland flood in confequence of the Aft of Union tendered it neceifary for Parliament to come to Tome fpeci fie refolution with refpeft to them upon a point on which the AR of Union was itfilf talent. thi Parliamentary ufage of Ireland, 44 well as of Eng land, previoufly to the Union, it was not allowed, nor held conftitutional, for Peers of Parliament to vote or interfere by their influence at eleflions for Members to ferve in the Commons Houfe, nor to fit or vote in the Houle of Commons. It was fo• Rill by the Parliamentary ufage of England. But as the Houfe of Commons had - not yet adopted any refolution with refpeft to the Peers of Ireland on this head, it became neceffary (rime refolution fhould be adopted. By the Aft of Union thirty. fir Peers of Ireland were to be chofen by the bal lots of the Peers to reprefent them in the Houk of Lords of England, and by the fame it w:u made lawful for Peers of Ireland to ferve in the Com mons of the t nited Parliament for places in that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain.., But in this cafe, and during fuch reprefentation,•l they finfeited to all intents and purpofes their pi. vileges as Peers, and became fubjelt tcriltthe dif qualifications of Commoners; they re,linquilhed all right to v•ze for Peers, and became -bale to * tried as Commoners for any aft Contriei to 18,w. The object of the refolution adopted Syfhe Coni mittee was, to prevent all Peers of Wand from voting at elefti , •ns for Members of the Commons Houfe, fave only thole Peers who haying, by be coming Commoners, forfeited the priyilegis of the Peerage, and become, to all intents and - Purpores,. Commoners for the time being. • Mr. Dawson 'obferved, this was one of the cfif ficolties arifing out of the meafnre ofUnion which led to many material changes in the •Camtlitution of Parliament ; and as it materially intereßed: the Parliamentary privileges of Ireland, he hoped that, in fo very thin an attendance of Irifh Members, the Houfewould lint precipitate Bach a meafureorhere in thole molt concerned had no opportuaity• for deliberation. He had always miderftood tha4 hi the principles of the Conflitution, the right of fit ting in the Commons Houfe and voting for Mein.' hers to ferve therein were co.catentve. HUM tliesi' would the Honourable Member.reesnwile the Pri: yation of the Peers of Irelatief ,ftvins voting Nlernbers to ferve in the United Parliarneut for Ire-1 land at the sere time that they themfelres had the privilege of beiog cleat-41 as Members (lithe Houle ' • f Oinimems. if not for Ireland, yet certainly in United Par:iarni or ; how were it in he re , iinciled that res TT; after tirll voting fur NM to - reprefent them in the 1-Toufe of Lords, might then be felefted to the• Hotrfe of Commons, and gain a new privilege not properly belonging to them as Peers, that of voting at eleCtions as Commoners ? Thefe were points which, in his mind, called for very mature delibention, and he thought the dif cuffion ought certainly to be pollponedto a diltant day and a fuller Houfe. Thole Peers who became Commoners forfeited the privileges of Peerage,attd voted in the Houk of Commons for Members to terve therein one day, and the next, might. at the r option of the Crown, by the acceptance of a nomi. 1 nal office, vacate their feats and refume at pleafure the privileges of Peerage, and by this mephitis*** fort of management, become alternately Peers or Commoners at will. Mr. BRACME replied, he was fully aware of the reafuns offered by the Honourable Member on this anomalous cafe ; but he thought the Committee had drawn a line precifely fuited to meet the diffi culty.—He admitted that trills Peers, after having voted for their Reprefentatives in the Houfe of Lords, might he chorea Members of the Houfe of Commons, not for Ireland, but for England ; but as the Reprefentative Peers for Ireland were cleft ed for life, there was not that likelihood of exec citing alternately the influence in either Houle the 1 Honourable Member profefted to apprehend. But the Honourable Member would Perceive, from the nature of the Refolotiom that no lath Peer 'could be warranted to vote or interfere at elections, until ] by declaring himfelf it candidate for tome place in England.or being returned a Member of the Houle of Commons for Inch, he had thereby forfeited every privilege of Peerage, and became to all in tents and purpoiles a Commoner. and confequcntly warranted to etereife the privileges of a Member of the Commons Hoare. He did not with to pre cipitate the meafure,' but it was a queftion which pretled itfelf on the Houle for Come decifion or 'other, and he thought tome refolution thould with out delay be adopted. , • Sir Joins PARNELL obterved, that previous to' the Adt of Union, trills Peers were disqualified from voting for the Eleetion of Commoners ; the Refolntion before the Committee, therefore, pro gelid to give them a new right, which might be productive of this confequence, that as the Haute batt transferred the right of judging on tflta_settions Of EleEtions to a Committee, fuch Tribunal might it:snicked - oaf — decide in conformity to the•law of the land, and in oppofition to the Refolution pro. pitted; he therefeire recommended rather to fettle thiipoint by an Aft of Parliament; than (offer it to ternain liable to the .confuGon in which the AR of Union had left it. He (poke in tizong terms of approbation of the attention (hewn by Minitters to the Affairs of Ireland, and had no doubt, that if the fatneluditions fyftern Mudd be rfevered in, the ham:melt confetmences would refult to that country. Mr. Costal' fully coincided with his Honourable Friend, Mr. Bragge, in the propriety of this Re folatien. He fa - id, the privilege of the Peers to .voteist elation: for Members pf the Commons, was a point upon Which both were at variance.— The Peers 'uniformly attended at eleftions fur Members of the Houle of Commons, ;ad tendered their votes, which as uniformly were rejected by the Returning Officer. But he thought that, to obviate all doubts that might .arife here on the 7 fubjeft, the Refolution now before the Committee became indifpenfable. The Committee above Rain had paid the molt fedulous attention to the .fubjeft, and adopted that Retaliation as the belt remedy that occurred to them on the fulleft deli. ' beration, and the more it was confidered by the Houk, the better he was Cure it would be found to merit approbation. ' • • The CIiAIICELLOa of the Excuaupsa : differed from the Honourable Baronet, an& thought the Houle of Commons afted more wilkly in defend ing its own privileges, to do it by Refolution, as ' had been the cafe for a century paR in the com- 1 : mencement of every Seffion, than by a Statute ' laaw, .which would bring the privileges of the 'Houle of Commons for ditcuffion in another At tenthly, by whom this principle was denied, and might lead to confequenees which every one would will to avoid. There was no &tote law that he l i ever heard of, to change the old principle in Ire land, that under the Refolution of the Houfe of Commons, declaring the votes or interference of Peers at eleftions for Members, a violation of its privileges. The prefect Refolution, in AR, did not go to create a new principle, but to remove a difficulty. The • Refulation had been long eta-1 blifhed with regard to the Peers of Great Britain, 1 and it became nsceffary now to extend it to thole i of Ireland, whole privileges it did nut ;t all di mina. • I Mr.• BRAGG: Paid, he wilhed particularly to im prefs upon the attention of the Committee, the theceffity Of the prefect Refolution. The neceffity Of paffiag a , kef&lution to prevent the interference of reefs ur Eleaions, could not, of courfe, be dit tined : if then, nothing was laid in that Refolu tion about Fleets a Ireland, they Scald be pre cluded lion% interfering in Eleetions, although by the AR of Union, they were allowed to be eleßed Members of that Hoak. Surely, therefore, the Committee would not objcet to fume modification of the ufual ReMlution of that Houfe, a modifica tion which the 'Aet of =ism bad rendered abfo lutely nectffary. Mr. Dail/sow explained, Sir TnOssas FasnitusaD Waved, that tbe AR of Unbolt prefeuted dirsculties is this cafe ; *hid' cirtaialy might not tole increafed, bat as Mach as poffible climiniffied. He thought the latter objet would be anfwered by the prefect re. fi Mr. Simon Paid, the prefent snisafure flowed out of the Aft of Union, and he did not fee how refolution could he othenwife,confiltently with tat litt• The SPIAItIifAIJ. an obelliuti had heat made to Neer of Ireland being al lowed to vote at Elec tion% in Ireland. It appeared to him, however, that the right of interference in Eleftiona, confer red upon certain lien of Ireland by the eacep turn in the /Vlution, ninti be general. If a Peer of Ireland btcame a Member of the Com. pions llintii of Parliament, ha became to far thr • • 'United KingJorn ; *ad he Aid ant fec hre.• r. difticietion et privilege could be introdnee.d T. propriety of precluding Peers trivm voting at Lions had, be raid, been muds gnettioned by gri— : political writers ; and as all votes of fupply need in the Commons Houle of Parlianietit:. might, perhaps, be proper to allow Peers t o v ., at T.leaions for Islcnibers of that Houle. Mr.' BRAGGY thought tome further delay wise!: be advikable, in order that the fuhltet ' more amply difedired in a fuller Houk.. After a few words from Sir Johnl'arneli Mr. Dawfun, the Itelolution was agreed to. The Houk being returned, the ltepiirt'svaa.fir. dered to be received immediately. INDIA. Sir W.
