kote trii . tit the ufual prompt parnooe on t h e Id. Balments of the Loan not having been mail:, and from the fums as yet received having been tranf ferred t. the Bank, to provide for Exchequer Bills. With refpea to the cardlruaion which the Hon. Gentleman endeavoured to attach to Mr. Burke's BM, it was almoß manifeftly erroneous, for furely it never could have been the intention of that Bill to withhold payment from Tradelmen and Ser vants—no fuch interpretation had been ever before ut upon it. The rellriaion alluded to by the lion. Gentleman, was defigned merely to produce more diligence and punauality on the part of the great Officers of State, but not at all to impofe inconvenience, or to create an injury to any one. He hoped and trufled that what ever the Hon. Gentleman might infinuate, his Majetty's Govern. Inent had credit with that Houfe, and with the Country, for the utmoß folicitude and anxiety to difcharge thole debts—that the means to do Co did not evil at prefent, and that as foon as they did, they would be faithfully and cheerfully applied, in put fttance of the Vote of the Houfe.—The Re. port was ordered to be received tomorrow. BANE OT IRELAND RESTRICTION WILL. Mr. Ctaay moved the Order of the Day for the fecondteading of the Bank of Ireland Reftridion Bill. Mr. VAIIIDELEUR was of opinion that the Re. firidion on the Bank of Ireland had created a fpi rit of Banking, and of !peculation in trade, which Lad been highli. injurious to that country. So much had this been the cafe,hc Paid, that even the finalleit payments had been made in paper. In confequence of paper being allowed on that country to be ioued • for Inver, traders had iffued notes for 3s. 6d. Gs and Bs. and inferior fhopkeepers for 6d. until fcarce a fixpence was to be ken in any part of the country. This was produaive of the greaten in jury, as many poor perfons, poffeffed of thefe finall notcs, found themfelveson a fitdden, through the failure of the fource from whence thefe notes were iffued, reduced to fill grea ter poverty, and enable to pay their rent. 1-ihonght tome Re ndition ought to he introduced into the Bill, upon this injurious iffue of paper. Mr. HEXRY THootoorom ohferved, that this Bill had been introduced to accompany the reftridion on the Bank of England. With refped to the reflridion on the Bank of England, no danger could reftilt from it ; that Bank was a body ex: tremely refpeCtable, who were fufficiently difpo fed to reftrain the circulation of their own paper, and to limit, within due bounds, the paper circulation of the country, which they were the better enabled to do, as they poffeffed a monopoly of the iffue of paper in the metropolis. With refpeet to the Bank of Ireland, the cafe was different, other Banks iffued paper in the fame p lace where that exi t ed, and a reltritlion on that Bank would therefore be ineffeetual. It was important, however, for the iioufe to bear in mind, that too great an emiffion of paper produced the ground on which the con tinuance of the reftriition on the Bank was found- el, as by railing the price of commodities, it im peded their exportation, and confequently turned the exchange again& us. Ireland to be extremely liable to a danger of thisprinTdwhen, however, the difeontinuance of the reftriaion on the Bank of England thould be matter of difcur Cm, the eircumftance of the courfe of Exchange being againft li-eland, ought not to operate as a 'vain% againft that difeontinuance, and they mull provide in that country, as in this, cant for their paper. The courfe of exchange between this coun try and Ireland was at the prefent moment a or j i per cent. againft the latter, and between *isms., try and the Continent 5 or 6 per cent. aria Great DI itain, which, however, Co far as related to Ireland , mnft be dded to the 2or 3 per cent. the amount of the exchange againft that country in the intercourfe between Ireland and Great Bri. la; n. He thought lonic meafure ought to be adopt ed to pi event too great an emiffion of paper in Ire. land : he had no local knowledge of the country, but he was convinced that the people mull fre quently fuller from the infufficiency of many per lons whole paper was fcnt into circulation. Mr. CORRY raid, that if an Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Vandeleur), who bad made feveral obferva. tons upon the Bill, had privately communicated thofe oblervations to him, he lhould have paid , every attention to them. !Camber Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Henry Thcrrnt on) had done fo, and he thought it highly neceirary to pay attention to the °haves lions of that Honourable Gentlemamas he was con vinced of their julliee. He trotted, however, the fituation of the Bank of Iceland would not be look. ed upon with any degree pf fulpicion ; it bad never yet been called in queftion, and a former Bill of reftriCtion on this Bank had been paired without any inquiry, its credit being perfectly Cubit:lsaiah This meafure was taken up now as an auxiliary to a funilar meafure relative to the Bank of Eng land. Some obferVations had been made rela tive to the comic of exchange ; as he underftood the fubjeft, it depended upon the largenefs or finallnels of the remittances made into any coun try from other States. However the courfe of exchange might, at the prefent moment, be againft Ireland, he trolled that the revival of the Linen Manufacture in that country, and the export of corn ariling from the bounty of Pamir:isnot in the lull Larval, together with other circum flances, would fo far amend the fitnation of the country, that no difficulty would occur when this bill cealed to operate, in returning to the accent tomod channel of payments in call+. He admitted that this bill ought not to be continued any longer than was ablolutely necellary. He hid lamented the fituation of Ireland with refpe& to the nidi mited circulation of paper—bat he had never been able to frame a propofition worthy of being laid before Parliament, which was calculated to reme dy the evil. But though he could not bring for ward any Legiflative mealbre, he had frequently endeavoured to call the attention of the people of Ireland to the danger to which they were expofed, from the circulation of bate paper. Some confi. +Table failures bad, however, h i pppened, which, Itl they were the caufe of much diftrefs to many inJit ideals. feared as a lelrcn to all parties—it taught thofe who tent paper into circulation, that 'Jj .t'uld not itrue it to that extent which they • . • had htiagined.onthott expogno themigns to ruin; and it taught that who incauttoufly receive paper, front whatever fource it might ilfue, that they frequently thereby expofed themfelves and their families to diftrers and poverty. With filch lef fons before the eyes of the people of Ireland, he thnught It was the lefs neceffary for Parliathent to adopt a:ly tneafure of reftriftion upon the eircula• Lion of paper in that country—it would be better to leave it to work its own way by degrees, than to adopt any meafure which might caufc a violent revalon, Rill more injurious than the circulation itfelf. The bill was then read a feeond time s and com mitted for to-morrow.—Adjourned. I.ONDON. TUESDAY, APRIL ty. PRICE OP STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK t 3 pa. C.

In the begin ning of March, it was not believed in Jamaica, that they had More cffeEtive men remaining than :,000, and they were very much in want of pro. vifons and every neccfrary. Unlefs large rein forcements are very fpecdily fent out, the fafery of the French forces muft be confidered as extremely precarious. Mr. Slew, in his late extraordinary journey from Barton, changed houfes fourteen times.—The firft 84 miles he rode in four hours, and 112 miles in fix hours ; at one Rage, the horfe intended for him not being ready, he continued his journey fix miles further, making 21 miles, which he went two minutes within the hour, and leaped over a dog that lay in his way at Godm;nchefter, upon a grey mare the Property of J.

Flas.—Laft night about nine o'clock, a moft dreadful fire broke out in the fhop of one Nathan Levy, a linen-draper and haberdafher, No. 34., Minories, which in a fhort time confirmed the whole honk, the Proprietor not being able to lave any article whatever. Of two wooden houfes next to it, which every body thought would have fallen a facrifice, luckily one only was damaged, and that is inhabited by Mr. Hill, a baker. Alderman &raw attended, with a party of the Afrociation of Portfoken Ward, by whofe active exertions the working of the engines was encouraged, and de predations prevented. About eleven o'clock the fire was extinguilhed. It is Paid to have been oc cafioned by the carelefsnefs of a flropman, who, after (hutting up, left a candle burning, and took the keys wirh him. The family was abfent at the Circus. We never witneffed a greater run of company at the Royal Circus than this feafon ; the caufe, we. imagine to be the fuperior excellence of the amufe meats, particularly Mr. Caoss's new fplendid Pas. tomime of the Brichorted Harp, which is got up in a mai capital Rile with regard to every thing that can render it ;manning.

AgERICu PAPERS We have teceiied Ainerican Papers--thofe of 116fton, New England, down to the 22d March. Chet' Contain no news froth St. Domingo fo late as the French accounts. Capt.

He Rates a circuMflance we had not before h:ard .1, that Toussemr, in a proclamation, offered to accommodate all differences on being acktrw 'edged Governor of the Southern part, abandoning All the North to the French, which Was perempto rill rejeted. None of the French difpatches Rated fuch an occdrtence; Mr. Tostas LEAP, American Conful, or Agent at Cape Francois, has feht to his Government an account of the burning of the Cape Town. Only 6o houfes out of Goo efcaped. Mr. LEAR has been recognized by General Ltet.rac, as American Agent. The whole number of American vac's at the Cape was 33. There is no account, far.lels complaint, of their being feized. The French of fered to pay for the provifions the Americans could give at 8o days on France ; or part in cafh, and part in colonial produce. Mr. LEAR Rates, that there was not produce faved from the flames at the Cape fufficient to load a tingle (hip ! Mr. Last Rates that, after the Americans aid other inhabitants had got on board the American %tails, previous to the coming in id the French fleet, they were boarded by CHRlsrorHE's troops, and only French Whites and a Black Man carried away. The charge of mafracres of the Whites is again pofitively aliened. Some accounts fay that General Lict,tac was rather ton (harp and /laity. Mr. LEAR, however, Pays that he has the charther of an upright man. All agree that TOIISSA NT was firmly determined on refiftance, which indeed fully jußifiesLEcLEac for the promptitude of his operations. All accounts Rate that the French have fent to the Havannah, urging reinforcements and provi fions from the Spaniards. The Judiciary Bill has finally paired, in the American Legiflature, after great debates in the Houfe of Reprefentatives. The diviflon was 39 to 3+. The new Naturalization Bill, making five years refidence confer Citizenfhip, has been read a third time.
