PARLIA.IIENTAR r PROCEEDINGS. • HOUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JULY 6. Judgment on the kith Appeal Cade, Redington v. Redington, was poftponed till Monday. The Bills on the table, which were very numerous, were for warded in their rerpodtive Rape. Among there, the MR Revenue Regulation Bill, the frith Afraid Tares, the Sugar Duties Draw back, the Public Accountants, the kith Spirits Wareboufing; the Intl Linen Duties Drawback, the Plate °bre Dudes, were (eve rally read a ftcond time, and ordered to be committed. The Dublin Paving. Lighting, and Cleanfing Bill, went through a Committee of the whole Houle, received tome amendments, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. Lord MULGRAVE, by command of his Majelty,prefented a copy of the proceedings In the Privy Council, &c. on the Petition of John Duke of Athol,whichon the motion of the Loy 4 Chan enor, was ordered to be printed. SMUGGLING PRAYS/MON DILL. The Houfe refolved into a Committee on the Smuggling Prevention Bill, Lord WALSINGNAIS in the Chair. Mr. ADAM was heard at confiderable length, as fecond Connie!, on behalf of the Petitioners in the Mantis of Guernfey and Jerfey, againft certain claufes in the Bill. After the Learned Counfel had concluded, a abort converfation took place between Lord HOLLAND and the LORD CHANCELLOR, relative to the claufes in quef- tion. The former Peer thinking the points they in volved of fo much importance, as to require the at tendance of the Judges, when the Bill Should be next taken into confideration, which was propored to be on Monday. To this proceeding the Lord Chancel lor objected at the fame time he admitted the im • portance of the points adverted to, either as they re (peat: i exeic;fe and legiflative power, :dative to the Iflaods in quellion , if, by the law and conaitution of the country, no inch right exilled, or, on the other hand, the abandonment of the exercife of the right of it did exift ; upon thefe points, he meant then to offer no opinion : future opportunities would arife in the fubfequent Rages of the Bill ;as alto for the dif culEon of the claufes objeaed to. Lord HOLLAND wifhed the queflion to be put upon his propofition for the attendance of tbe Judges on Monday, which was accordingly done; it was ne gatived ; but the refult, as we could collo% was, that the farther confieleration of the Bill, in a Cque mittte, was axed for Monday.

She brings no news ref - peeling the combined fleet. Indeed the arrival of that fleet at Martinique, which happened on the s4th of May, could not be known at Jamaica when the Hamilton failed on the t9th. Admiral COCHRAN' had failed in the briirsta for Barbadoes, and Admiral DACLIN g with fix fail of the line, was enuring off Jamaica when the packet left the Ifland. The (hips which Admiral Dacus had with him were, the Sr. GIORG R. l'fiscuur, VAN. GUARD, ATLAS, THLSIUS, and VETSRAD I betides feveral frigates. The Crefcent, Capt. Lit" from Tortola, is ar rived at Liverpool ; the failed on the 29th May, and brings an account that Admiral COCHRAN a was to windward of Eirbadoes with his own (sip only, and had fent in a difpatch by his Majelly's (hip limo:, dated the 26th, requefling that all velfels at that Ifland would immediately proceed to a neutral port, or to England. We are happy to (tate that the whole of the Ja maica fleet eicedt fire hips, may now be confidered as laic in post. Of the five miffing (hips one is known to have gone on !lore in Crooked Ifland par fage.—The others are fuppofed to be fafe. 1 'We have the pleafure to announce the fafe arrival at Pnrtfmouth, of the homeward-bound fleet from the Mediterranean, confifirig of upwards of 40 fail, under convoy of his Majeny's (tip ANSON. The tranfports, ts in number (among which are the Ann, Ellen, Berwick, Liberty, Freedom, AEtion, and Lady ShaVt) are arrived at Portfmoutb. The STAIV LING, Capt. Burrow, with the (tips from Smyrna for the River, have arrived off Dover. We learn by the Amson frigate, that fix fail of Spanifl, line of battle (hips were lying in Cartba• gena.—Sir RICHARD BICKERTON, with the Q I IEEN and DRAGI"N men of war, was cruizing off Cadiz. The ANSON was chafed by a Spann line of battle !hip, cruifing between Cape St. Vincent's and Cape St. Mary's. The ANSON left Malta on the tit May, and palled Gibraltar on the 31ft, at which time the expedition under Sir Jaistts CRAIG was lying there. The Baltic fleet, the fife arrival of which at Yar mouth was announced in our lift, has (ince come fafe into the River. . No official accounts have yet been received of the arrival of Lord Nszsow in the \Vef✓< Indies. It is, however, pretty generally believed that this intelli gence will foon be confirmed, as it was certainly poffible his Lordihip might arrive by the time named, and fimilar accounts were received both from Btiaol and Penzance. The report of the capture of Trinidad has been re vived. The news was brought to Lord GAIDNEe's fleet by the Num cutter ; but the NILE cutter had it from a veffel at fea, which had received it at Vigo. In other words. it is madly a repetition of the firli accounts, but through another channel. It is impofllble, we think, that Trinidad could have been taken on the 3d or 4th of May, and the event have been unknown at St. Lucie onthezift,and Barbadoes on the 26th. If taken at all, it muff have been either by the two Chips of the line not accounted for, being detached ot that fervice, or by the whole fleet after leaving Martinique. In the fiat cafe, the force, we apprehend, would be inadequate ; and in the fecond, we do not believe the fleet could beat up fo far to windward, after the :La, as to take the place within a period fiuce which the news could ar. rive in Europe. The following letter was received on Thurfday from Captain Ho P EN, of the Neptune (A. T.) by his owner, at Plymouth, fent from Barbadoes the a6th May laft, and will be interefting at this period. " Barbadoes, May as, 18os. st Mr. -I wrote you in my IA that we were going to fea that evening or the next morning—but a few hours afterwards there was a general embargo tai on all veliels,and has been ever fince the xdth inft.mt. We were expceting the french fleet here hourly, but we have now an account that the French flea is ftM at Martinico well up the harbour, moored in line of battle, as they have had an account that Lurd Nelkm's fleet was here. They have not done any mifchief yet to any of our iflands. We are expedting hourly a Britifh fleet out here—if they come before the homeward bound, Beet falls we Stall be kept out. Captain Kemp is not yet arrived therefore cannot fend you the necaary certificate in this letter.— In my next I hope you will receive one from, Sir, your moft obe dient fervtnt, W7ll. UOrttN." By the above letter it will be Peen, the enemy, on their arrival at Martinico, had, only on hear ing a report of Lord NELSON'S arrival in the Weft Indies, gone into the inner harbour, and moored themfavcs in a line, for fear of an attack; and when the above letter came away, and another letter dated St. Lucia 27th May, received at Plymouth on Thorfday, corroborating the above fiatement, they had not attempted, though twelve days had elapfed fince their arrival, any enterpr ife againiL the Britilh The reports refpeBing the new arrangements in confeqnence of the refignation of Lord SIDMOUTH and his friends, are fo various and contradidory, that nothing can be Rated with certainty. It is pretty generally thought that Mr. PITT will not find it an eafy matter to make up a refpatable, powerful, and efficient Cabinet; and it i, even the opinion of many that be will not be able biinfelf to remain long in office. Saturday his WIEST'', and Princeilis AUGIESTA, SOPHIA, and Ast s!. Ls, took an airing on horfelsack in. Windfor Great Park. Her MAJESTY and the other Prineeffes took an air. ing to Frogmore. Yeßerday morning his MAJESTY, and Princeas AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, walked to St, George's Chapel, and heard a fcrmon preached by the Rev. Dr. MARsHAm, from the 116th Pfalm t szth and lath verfes ; after fervice they took an /airing to Frogmcre. The Rovat. Pamicy are expeded to leave Wind for on Friday morning for Weymouth. The difap pointment experienced in different parts of the coun try at their not going the intended tour, will be attended with ferrous loffes to numbers of individuals, particularly at Birmingham, where the tops of the houfes are covered with fcaffoldings ' and the lowed price of tickets was h a lf a guinea. A printfeller has the roof of his houfe completely covered with feats; and at each end is a figure, dreffed as a grenadier, in full military uniform. A molt elegantly carved (tone for his Majelly, to lay for the foundation of the new free church, was prepared. Nothing lefs than a guinea was taken for a place that would have a view of this ceremony. The inn-keepers had their figns new painted, particularly thole which bore any allufion to Royalty. The Duke of CAMBP.IDGI is to have the arrange ment of all the King's papers, and to read to his Ma }ESTI( all his difpatchcs during his continual:ice at Weymouth. COPT OP CORK, JUNE 30., Having been too late for the Expedition under) Sir Jams, CRAIG, I embarked at Portfmouth with •three of the regiments originally &Rifler' to proceed with Sir EYRE COOTF, upon a Secret Expedition, which was generally lbppofed to be intended for the Wei Indies. Thefe three regiments (Bth, 24th and 83d) remain on board the tranfports at Ceve, and' will probably continue in that fituation fome time. -,The rumour at prefent is that the original plan of this Expedition is to be altogether abandoned, and that Sir EYRE Coors will proceed with a few regiments to take upon him the Government of J - mica. But thefe are only vague conjeatires, which we have here no data to ellimate. Whatever may become of us ultimately, it is to be regretted that it thould he found ne.celfary to keep the troops con. fined on board the tranfports, or even to encamp them on Spike ifland ; for, nothing being more inju rious to the health of foldiers than a monotonous in aaivity, we may tape& in a few weeks more a great deal of ficknefs. There are already about 150 fent to the General I-lofpital at Cork, from the three re giments, betides about 250, principally from one rt. gimer.t. landed on nall Bowling Eland, it! of the itch. The difeafes of thofe,fent to the nonlife'', are, it is true, for the nioit part flight ; but if we thonld be detained here as long as the troops under Gene ral Wityrs in 1795, the difeafes I am confident wilt by Oaober become equally fi.:vere with tl,ofe wlizeh* ailed that army. I cannot therefore but think that it would he a great laving to Government, as well of morii•y-' as of live, to march thole troops intri fome healthy part of the interior of Ireland, i. e. with in two days march of the place of embark-Lion. Thurfday fe'nnight, the Nithfdale battalion fired three rounds at a target for a Silver Medal, given by the Officers to the belt markfmen of their refpetive companies; after which the ten belt 'hooters tired for a Gold Medal, given by the Field Officers; and the competition for this Medal was fo equal, that Mr. WHITR, mathematician. was obliged to be fent for to decide the preference, which was adjudged to a pri. vate of Sir THOMAS KIRKPATRICK'S company.--4ln general the firings were clofe and regular, and would have done credit to any regiment of the line. By letters from the Tartar, 32, dated Bermuda. received at Plymouth, is learnt, that the report of her being wrecked was falfe, as lye was hove down to repair at that illand. Saturday a valt number of letters from Jamaica reached towu, brought by the flee,t atrivcd in the Downs, but they are of anterior date to thofe re ceived fume days ftnce. The following is an extra& of is letter from a par ' Fenger on board the Putfuit, from Jamaica, dated Of Falmouth, July 3 " The Liverpool (hips left us three days ago with a fair wind; we are about five (hips (tort of the number when we lAled from Port Antonio; and it is apprehended that they went on (bore in the Crooked gland Paffage; but that is only a furmife, as we very fair weather about that time." The merchants of Jamaica have fixed the follow. ing rates of freight for the .prefent year:—Sugar 9s. 6d. per cwt.—coffee 13s. 6d. ditto—rum i rd. per gallon --cotton, in lerons, 21d. per lb. in bags 3d. per lb.—dye woods, fix guineas per ton. The SPAR mirk, Sir F. LAFOREY, fell in with the Toulon fleet to windward of Martinique, on the lath of May ; he, however, only faw three frigates with the Cyane, but concluding from their movements that they belonged to a fleet, he did not chace, and two days after they entered Fort Royal Bay. Lord SE•FORTH, we are informed, in his letters to Government, Rates that a great moit.tlity had pre vailed on board the French (hips, in confequence of their crowded Rate, and to this circumilance is im puted their delay at Martinique. The fl ig officers are a Spanifh Admiral and a French Vice and a Rear Admiral. On the 2zd of May they had flationed fOur frigates at St. Pierre's; had they been a fortnight later, a large convoy would have been affembled at Tortola, in an unprotetted harbour. General Paavosr had on the xoth withdrawn all his forces from Rofeau, &c. and concentrated them at Prince Rupert's, where he had collated abundant Rotes. Letters have been received from Holland, dated on Tuefday ; they mention, in general terms, the ac tivity which prevails on board their fleet in the Texel, but do not allude to any early period for its failing on the contrary, they report, that M. SCHIMMIL- Pawmzuc purpofes, during the fummer, to vifit North Holland, the Helder, the fleet, &c. The following eftimate of national expenees has been laid before their High Mightineffes by the Grand Penfionary, for the feven remaining months of the pretent year unprovided for, and which, cn the tit mil. was voted as follows : Florins Florins On 823,107 Home Department 695,647 465,300 Rivers and Dykes 233,43 9,768,616 Seaports -469,26 a 14,233,897 TOW 52,30t,560 The manceuvres of the expedition army in the Dutch camp at Zeyft, began on the I 6th ult. in the pretence of the French General Msamorr.
