To prevent the recurrence of fimilar outrages the Government had judged it right to quarter a regiment of foldiers in the city. At this the Brownonians and their antagoniffs were equally offended. They therefore left the univerfity, car rying along with them many Rodents in theology, philolophy, and mathematics. The troops were witharawn, and they immediately returned; but their mutual animofity is as violent as ever. There are fkit milhes every day, and neither party fhews the 1,411 difpofition towards a reconciliation. PiIRLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE is.

Lord Sucre:sus raid, he had given notice of a Motion for ave to bring in a Bill to direa Pariffi Officers to makea return of the total furn of money railed in each Parilh by Affeffments, under the name of Poor Rates, in the refpeaive years ending at Faller ago, t Bot, and ilioz : at what rate In the pound they were made, and how much of the money coileaitt was applied for the payment ofi County Rates. He obferved, that the Poor Rates' have moft alarmingly increafed within a very few years, and fence the laft return, and that it was become by far the greatell tax of any kind exilling in this or any other country ; and that there could be no doubt of its amounting to confiderably more than half the rental of England, during the lafi two or three 3cars. But, that we might not de pend on vaguz aff.xtion, he vriffied that the correa amount might be known to the Legiflature, and that it might be fe ioufl v confidered, whether Come relief cannot be given t the Country, and alfo, whether the m inagement and railing fuch enor mous fums, and alfo the expenditure, without any thing *Porthy the name of controul, Arnold be en tirely left in the prefent incompetent hands. It is well known th it Parilh Officers are appointed, whether fit r not, becaufe it is the turn of their houfe or farm, and that frequently they can nei ther read nor write. He did not intend, at pre fent, to prop f: any meafure, but limply to obtain information, oa which Tome meafures might be founded. Mr. So AW Lave v I alloslzed that the Rates were enormoufly high, but he doubted if the prefent meafure would tend to leffen them. TheOverfeers, he obferved, had done-more for the Poor during the late hard years than even Juflice required; and while men were negleaing their own affairs to take care of the Poor, no wonder that they would diftharge their duty with impatience and relnaance, it they were haraffed over and above I by Aaslike that propofed at prefent. He wifhed loch Bills to originate rather in the Corn miuee above Stairs than in the Houfe. From thefe con fiderations, nd the Intends of the Seafoo k he felt himfelf bcund •ci oppofe the Motion. Lord SH ',MELD explained, that the mode he propofed was much more Pimple than thofe of 1776 and 1786. He was furprized to hear objec tions made to obtaining information; that all agreed it was abfolutely neceffary to do fomething, and Purely the ground work of the inquiry (hour(' be a corral Ratement of the fum to be rated.— The Hon. Gentleman had faid it would alarm the Country ; bat on the contrary, he was of opinion, that the Country would be highly ratified, be. caufe itwould be an earneß that Parliament meant to proceed in that momentous concern: inficad of alarming the Public he meant to alarm tie Le ' giflature, and to bring before them the abfolute neceffity of not fuffering the Country to groan under fuch an intolerable grievance. It was very ignorantly fuppofed, that the high price of corn had made amends to the Farmer for the great in creafe of the Poor Areffments that in the greater part of England it was by no means the cafe: that he knew large diarias of many pariffies, where the average Poor Rate amounted to eighteeen (billings and fivence in the pound on Rack Rents and it was well worthy the attention and cottfide; ration of Statefmen how this unprecedented bur then can be lightened, if it were only for the pur- , I pole of enabling the people better to bear the load N i nths; taxes unknown 40 man, Mr. TIIRVIT was convinced, &at to have more inforniation on the fubjea was highly expedient ; but he could with it to be procured otherwife than by Parliamentary interference, which kits an ex tremely expenfive method. Mr. &snow Paid, that the Poor Rates were produaive of more harm than good to the lower chilies in England, and only tended to give them the means of being drunk and idle. He conceived it was impoffible to fulfil the objet of the prefent Bill, as all the Pariah Accounts were at piefent jumbled together. He thought, however, it might be produaive of good confequences, if a new plan of keeping the accounts of the money applied to the ides of the Poor completely dillina, were pre vioufly adopted. Lord SH mints then Paid, he had great fatif faaion in obferving that feveral Gentlemen, moll I competent to the fubjeft, were convinced of the neceffity of taking it under fait= confideration, and as the link of the Houfe feemed to be againft doing any thing at prefent, he thould withdraw his Motion ; which was agreed to.—The Bill was ac cordingly withdrawn. _ axcuatyza SILLS. Mr. Timm, adverting to the calculations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer yefierday, rela tive to the Ways and Means for the year, expref fed his furprife that the arrears of the Income Tax, upon the credit of which Exchequer Bills had been already ifued, mould be included among thofe Ways and Means. • I Mr. VAIISITTART replied, that as there Exche• quer Bills were fubjea to a higher interest than' the funds, there was no probability of their being applied for within the year. • Mr. STEELS remarked, that if they were fent into the Treafury, it was true they would make a deduCtion from the Confolidated Fund upon which they were chargeable, but other Exchequer Balls M might be ed in their place. Mr. TIERS air profeffed an unwillingnefs to put any obtlacle in the way of Ministers, he merely threw out what be Paid as a hint for their confide. ration. • OIL. _ _ _ Mr. VAINITTAILT Rated the neceffity of giving more encouragement to our Fatties, in confe quince of the Dutch encouraging theirs. He therefore moved that the Duties impofed this Sef ton on Blubber, Train-oil, Seal-oil, and all Oils made of any animals living in the fea ; as alto the Duties on all Linen, Yarn, and Flax, im ported into Great Britain by the Company trading to the EMI Indies, do cute and determine.— Agreed to.

The Merchants of Havre have petitioned the Government againft the regulations eftablithed by General Lacisac at St. Domingo, with refpea to importation duties. They fay that the meafure would be totally ruinous to their commerce with the colony. The Matiteur contains a great number of letters from the different departments, Rating that the oiganifation of the religious eit*blithmeut, agreea blito the Concordat, proceeds with great difpatch, and to the molt perfea fatisfaaion both of Proteil tants and Catholics.

The French Funds are 54 f. go c. HAMBURGH MAIL. By this channel we have received the following important communications: STOCIINOL/19 May a a.—This morning arrived an exprefi from our Minifter in London, Eato n So Lvaa IljeLll, with the Englith Ratification of the Ad of Acceffion to the Convention of June 17. tBor, figned at St. Peteriburg, March 30, tar:. It appears, that the re-eftablithment of the goad underftanding between the two Powers bad expe• rienced Tome difficulties, arifing from the befit:- tion of the Engliffi Government to give a fatiscke. tory anfwer to•the reprefentations, refpeding ea. rious indemnifications. After long debates, how. ever, the Englifh Government having declared it felf ready to region immediately the greateft pate of the Swediih property, whether captured or embargoed, and having given an affurance that all the remaining claims mould be judged with the ftrifteft exadnefs and impartiality, the Rati. fications were exchanged on the a ath of this month. Already on the 6th, before the RatificatiOn of the King of ENGLAND had arrived, a packet was di l patched to the Weft Indies, with orders from the Englills Government for the reftitution of the Mod St. Bartholomew, and for taking off the embargo on Swediffi property in that quarter; the !hip TRITON, belonging to the Wen India Company, and the Van vs, had been already declared free, and indemnification for the loa fuftained &need. It is prefumed that the Commercial Treaty of r 661 will be reviled and amended; in conformity to the change in cir. enmflances in thefe latter times; and the difputed points will be cleared up and fated. With refped to the convoys taken in 1798. there is good rearms to expel from the laft anfwer of the Britifh Ml. niter, that this bufinefs, though definitively so judged, will be again taken up after the exchange oldie ratifications, and that, inftead of being jot. dicially treated, it will be arranged by &red Da gociations between the two Courts. This is the outline of the late prpceedings, which afford the molt pleating hopes of the fincere &firs of his BRITANNIC MaJeSTY, to confirm tad firengthen the friendfhip and mutual confidence which have been fo happily revived. , There will be a Levee at St. James' on Wed. aefday, next, and a drawing room on Thurfday. blonfieur COTIIIIIIIeT MOIITSILIT, deputed by the Farr Cousin. tapeegociate a Commercial Treaty with this Country, had his firft interview with Lord HAWltillUltY on Saturday, the refult of which, we underftand, proved highly fatisfaa t On Saturday General Lord HUTeNIUSOU Artie* ed at Dover from France. , Governor jonarrouli, the Governor of Domi. nica, bas been recalled, and General FULLASTOS is appointed in his place. His MAJESTY has appointed a Special Commit fion for a general Purvey of the Illand of Trinidad; the Commitfioners nominated are Colonel Fut- LAITOS, Capt. Samosa. HooD, of the Navy, and General PICTOI4 9 who is already on the ifland, as Governor thereof: the two former will embark before the end of next month : Captain Hoon will /mill a broad pendant immediately on his arrival. The Commiflion is to continue in force for one year, from the day it is opened on the ifland. On Wednefday four troops of the 13th Dragoons marched from Ipfwich for Norwich Barracks. As molt of the redu&ions of the army are to be 'fated by the 24th of this mouth, the following particulars,whiels are authentic, may be acceptable. !'he Life Guards are to be reduced to so men each troop; the Royal Horfe Guards Blue, to eight troop and 340 men. Betides the (even Regiments of M'agoon Guards, there are to remain only twenty Regiments of Cavalry, namely, from the t a to the SIR inclufive, except the sth, Tome tune ago dilbanded . AU Cavalry Regiments, abov , the a I It, are' to be immediately reduced. On 'Lieutenant from each company of Foot Guards to be reduced. Minifters expeit that the bnfinefs of the Honk of Commons will be finifited by Monday next, the tft, and in the Hoare of Lords on the Thurfday following. - On Friday, the 25th, Parliament, Re. cording to this plan, will be prorogued, and dill folved on Saturday the 26th. It is very polUble, however, that the arrangementsrefpeaingeleltions , a bufinefs which from the many conflicting, fepa rate, but not independent intereds, is very difli cutt, may retard the diffolution ' even could PAP liamentary affairs be hurried through. It is thought, however, that though the diffolution may be protraltedfor a few days beyond the tsth, it certainly will loon take place. A paffenger on board an American veffel which efcaped from Cape Town, gives the molt horrid accounts of the inveteracy of the Blacks towards the French army. A whole regiment which was on its march to be Rationed as picquets for the night, was furprifed by the negroes, and With the excel)• tion of fixteen men, was entirely defiroyed. On Saturday morning two carts took fire on the road near Iflington, in confequence of being load ed with bricks hot from one of the kilns of Scott and Co. By immediately (hooting the bricks, and a plentiful application of water being proctocd, the Guts wog{ fared, though with font damage.
