CADIZ, JAN. 6 —Thc troops in camp at St. Roche have received reinforcements lately ; others are ex peEled. The Captain General has hemmed in as much as poilible all the Lae of Engliflt polls before Gibral tar. ,]mutt all the garrifon of that fourth is en camped outride the walls for fear of the contagion, which dill continues i:s ravages. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDIN:2S. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, FEB. it Mr. ADAM and Mr. HoRNt It were heard for the Appellant in the Scotch Appeal, Bannerman againa Bannerman. The Greenland Whzle Fithery Bill and Come other Bills were brought from the Couirnons, and read a fief time. A h! ,- fr vrts brought from the Commons, dating that they bad au• homed Mr. Pole and Sir J ,hn Stewart to atterd on the Committee of their I.ordfhips„ according to the requet in their Meltage of the 13th January latt. Lord GRZNVILLk laid, that before their Lord- Mips adjourned, there was a point to which, as he conceived it to be of the hialteff importan c e, h e wilted to call the attention of iiteir Lordfhips. The fobieet to' which he alluded was the accufation now pending in that Houle, on a Judge in another part of the United Kingdom, whu was charged with ads of improper condua, flat of a general nature, but in Otis judicial capacity. He was not pettedly certain whether it would he neaelfary fur him to make any motion to the Bottle on the Cobjed ; all he meant at prefcnt was to fubmit certain ideas which had oc• tutted to him on the pryer Inc,Je of praceeding in fo important and unprecedented a Wines; and if the Houle should be of opinion that they were of any weight, to fuggeft how far it might nut be proper to give farther time for digetling them, and to appoint another day foe taking the fenfe of the Bottle on the mode of proceeding which ought ultimately to be adopted. The Houle, he conceived, lay under Lflat obligations to a Noble and Learned Lord (the ord Chancellor) for the trouble he had taken in the bufinefs on a former night; for by that learned Lord's fuggettions they had been prevented from proceeding with that precipitation which would have been fo tin. becoming in a mater of In grave and deliberate a na ture. .Happily for this, country the prefent was the IR instance, fence the Judges of the land had been put be yond the coma-out - of the fervants of the Crown, and were only Cubic& to the ten - moth:nee of both Houfes of Parliament by an Iltidtel; to his Majelly, praying for their removal from their fitnations, that an accu fation of this kind had been preferred to Parliament. It therefore became an objea of no common cunt'. deration, that the mode of proceeding Ihould be con. fiffent with that raped which was due to the judicial char after, to the pubiic jutlice of the country, to the dignity of that Houle, and that it fhould hold out a precedent worthy of being handed down to our foe. ceffors. Conti Jering the cafe in this point of view, he regretted that when the Noble and Learned Lord had, on a forme occafion, thrown out chore °bier. ations on the form of proceeding—for which, in his opinion he was fo defeivedly entitled to the thanks of the Houle, he had been confined by fa fevere an in-- difpofition as to tench,- it impotTible for him to at tend. On confidering the matter fully, and he af. fitted the Houle it had occupied a coofiderable (hare of his thoughts, it occurred to him, that the Bottle VAS not proceeding in the manner which the nature and aravity of the accufation teemed to merit.— This was not a charge of common or ordinary mag mitode, but one againtt a jada7e for adings in his ofii• vial capacity. The cptetiiatt therefore was, ought an acculation of lochs fiature to originate in that Houle ? It was to he remarked that it was not to t h em , as a Court of Judicature, that the right of addreffing the King for the removal of any of the judges of the land was entr Wird. That was a power vetted in the two Hooks of Parliament, as the Legiflature of the courai y. T:te regular mode of proceeding, he therefore fohmittecl, was, that an ac cufatian, filch as the prefcnt was, Mould originate in the other Houle, that grand national inqueti. If grounds flifficient to warrant the charge were there made out, it would then come before their Lordfhips by articles of impeachment, and they would then be called on with propriety to exercife their ja_licial ea. pacity. But if the matter were to originate with that Houle, and they, after having been the accufers, were to be called on to at as judges, the dilemma in which they mutt find thernfelves placed would be fuch as they were lirongly called on if pofEble to avoid. Even if an addrefs were to be the nude of proceeding to be latterly agreed on by both Homes, he conceived that Bottle, having the privilege of ex amining witneffes 'on oath, it would have an appear. nee of greater folemnity that they fhould clafe the inveltigation rather than that, after they had proceed ed on oath, the other Houfe fhould conclude the but. finds merely on affertion, and lhould, even from that c ircnmftance, refute to concur in the addrefs. His Lordthip should therefore plopore, that the Commit. tee be difcharged for fix weeks or two months, that time might be given for the bcfinefs to proceed in the other Houle ; if not, that it might then be reviv ed in this; or, if their Lorcilhips wifhed to confider of the matter, that the farther. confideration of the mode of proceeding do (land for tome future day. . Lord HAVsTKESBURY laid; he differed .widely in opinion from the Noble Baron, in what he had a dvanced upon the fubjein every point of vi e w, d, tither with reference to the individual concerned, or the interefts of the adminiliration of juflice in Ireland, or to the public at large. He thought the invelligation Amid be proceedtd with in the way already agreed upon , and with as little delay as the circuit:tit:si xes of the cafe would admit. Their Lordfliips would have to confider the fituation in which the cafe Itood before Them. It had been brought forward by a No. ble Member of that Hostfe towards the dole of the it was adjourned latt :Own. After fome difcoffion, to the prefent Seffirms, when there afore fome donbts as to the proper courfe to be taken ; the erefott of their Lordfhips deliberations on that point was, that it was derivable, before Mr. Jullice Fox Mould be called upon to anfwer the matters alledged, fame en quiry fhoold be made into the caf,:, and fome prima facie evidence offered, with a view to ellablill; a ground for foblequent proceeding. A farther delay was then acceded to, about a month, in order to af ford time to enable wirneffes to come from Ireland. That left interval of delay being elapfed, he was fur prifcd to hear on this day. for the firft time, new doubts thrown out ac to the propriety of what bad been done, and a contiderable Lather delay preffed for. Upon the whole, he WAS decidedly of opinion, the molt regular and expedient way would be, to pro • teed in the line already refhlved on. With refpett to the Constitutional confederation of the cafe, he faw no objeflinn whatever againft the matter as given in that Houfe. He was aware of the refpeCtive legal right of either Houfe to nrieinate things of the kind; yet there were conlideretions which more properly, and, with a view to general praCtice and ufage, more particularly fell within the province of the one Houle than of the other. Matters of com merce, revenue and finance, lay more particularly with the Commons. On the other hand, there were feveral matters which, by the fame rule, it lay with their Lordfhips to originate. Such, particularly, were cafes of Divorce Bibs. Certain confiderations, with refpeet to the law, in deciding upon which they could have the affiflance of the Learned Judges, who occafionaliy attended for the purpofe ; and all that of the Heads of fome of the Courts of lattice, who west ufually Members of that H o ufe. He was con vinced the ends of juflice would be more fatisfaCtori • ly anfwered,by tet hering the (wands to proceed in its prefent courfe ; not otcly in thi:, but in point of ex pedition, it was infinitely preferable. In any mode of proceeding, the concurrence, or the co.operation of that Houk would be eventually neceffary. As the cafe llood,the mode recommended by the Noble Lord would be only produCtive of t.trther, and even inju rious delay. The Commons c. old adopt no middle courfe between a Vote of their notice, either for re. drefs or impeachment; in the pending interval the charaler of the individual would remain at flake, and in fome degree the administration of juflice in Ireland fufpended ; for, by their tingle vote, the ju dicial functions of the individual would not be entire ly taken away. Upon the whole, though he differed entirely from the Noble Baron in his propoiltion, yet he was not adverfe to deferring the farther confidera. tion of the cafe for a very fhort time, in order to af ford their Lordhips ao opportunity of turning over in their minds what had been relpet:ively thrown out. His mind, however, upon the point was made up ; and he fhould have ferionfly to recommend to the Houfe to protect:in the courfe already refolved upon, and with as little farther delay as potable. The Earl of CARLISLE made a few ()Verve tions in fupport of what had fallen from his Noble Friend (Lord Grenville). He preffed the confider. ation; that their Lordflaips. in the mode propolzd, would have to proceed as a Grand Jury, in an exparte way ; and upon a cafe, which poilibly might after wards come before them as Judges; and he contended, that, on the &ore of expedition, the line of condo& recommended by his Nude Friend was by far the preferable. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the wool fack, and direfted his oblerveiions chiefly to the fituation in which the Treftion flood, and the molt eligible mode of proceeding in point of form ; but declined delivering his fentiments upon the fubjea, till a future opportunity ; but teemed to prefer pro ceeding with the inveftigation, as the Houle had al ready determined. There WAS one point which transpired in the coterie of that evening's difetlf!l which he was happy to riblerve, and for which he had to exprefs his thanks to Noble Lords—nay, even his gratitude—the apparent difpofition to aft upon the opportunities which the Conftiretion afforded them, of Iraviag recourfe to the afTelance, when neceffary, of the Law Lords, and to reticle:. their attendance effeetual. Lord GRENVILLE fpoke in explanation ; and expreffed his armament at the way in which the Noble Secretary of State feemed to confider what had fallen from him. He thought his condoa, on the occafion,requircd no apology; it Was the bounden duty of every Member of that Houk to come for ward and offer his opinion, in every Ilage of the bu finefs, and on every oppo:a•anity, as to what he thought might bet favour th ends of public junior. He was prevented by ind;lpotition from attending, when the lubjed was lan difcuffed. NO cnnfidera lions of delay or inconvtiiirnte fhould militate againfl the paramount principles, and more impor tant ends of public joltice. They fhould confider the novelty of the cafe b.:fine them, and that they were about to fet a precedent to future ages, on a point of the la importance, in the exercife of all their fun&ions. Lord HA\VKESBURY explained ; as fa: as his recollation ferved him, he had laid nethiti? which ought to induce afioniihment cn the part of ti:e No ble Baron ; he regretted the cattle of his inability to attend when the fubjet was I.ttt dilculfed ; lint - a crn ftderable interval had fince elapfeJ, in which the No ble Lord had an opportunity of coming forward:— He had fo tar conceded af. to agree to the Noble Lord's propofition in the lira intlance, but he had to deprecate all unnecelf.try delays in the invaigation of the cafe. .The Duke of CLARENCE expreffed V.; fat iliac tion at what had fallen from the Noble Lord w ho had opened the difcuffion ; but not having attended the tmmer difculEon upon the fubj.:&, he confelfed him felf rather at a lots to know the precife fituation in which the cafe then flood, and begged any Noble and Learned Lord prefent would inform him. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the wool fack, and explained generally to his Royal Highnefs, that the objeft of the Committee, which had been or dered to fit, was to investigate the truth of matters alledged, fo far as to afcertain whether a fulficient ground appeared to warrant their Lordfhips in call. mg upon the accufed to antwer, or to entertain a mo tion for an addref' upon the occafion. The witneff_s were to be examined upon oath before the Commit tee, as to the truth of matters alledged, but to what extent it was for the Committee to determine. After a few oblervations from the Duke of CLA. LANCE, the queflion wigs put upon Lord Greriville's motion, which was ordeted accordingly. . . tal•Pm"" 0 "Ik FRANCE. • PARIS, TEBRUART M. dela Rocneroucaoxv is app dor to Vienna, Genet al jusor An toga). and M.

I _Lord ACING called to the recolleCtion of their I Lorelfhipl what had fallen from him on a former evening, relative trs the Sufeenti,ln of the Habeas Corpus Aft in Ireland, and the went difc:ctionary power vetted in the Crown in confer:pence. It being in agization to renew the meafure, as one of very qoeitionable importance, he thought that adequate reafons fhould be affigned for it. W:th that view, he called for the information which was Rated in his motion on a former night. He erpreffed his hope the Noble Secretary of State had, upon further con fideration, altered his opiiii-n upon the point, and would agree to the produftion of the information required. His Loratip then propofed his motion, (imam- to that offered on a former night; the lead ing point was, That an account of the conditions on which fuch perfons as were liberated froM confine ment under the Sufpcnfion of the Habeas Corpus Aft, were difcharged, he laid before the Honk." Lor.l HAWKESBURY replied, that the more he had confidered the point, the more confirmed he was in his objeftions to fuch a prccee;:ing. The N,l - Secretary then repeated his obfervations on the former occalion, as to the dangerous tendency, in various points of view, of making the difelofure re quired ; this, he thought, In obvioufly the cafe, that rie did not with to take up their Lordlips' time is further defcanting upon the fobjeft. Lord GRENVILLE argn,:d in favour of the pro duftion defircd, as, without it, ti , e Houle would be at a lnfs v.-bether or not the King's fervants made a wife or beneficial ufe of the diCerci ionary powers veil ed in them by the Aft of Sofpenfion. In fait, that part of the information required by his N. ble Friend, was by far the moll important of the whole, and on which, in a great degree, the whole merits of the quettion would depend. The Marquis of SLIGO affired the Noble Lord, that unfortunately there were many circumflances locally known to Gencernen hatitnally refidert 1:1 Ireland, which if equally well known to the Noble Lord, would convince him of the imprudence of corn , plying with that part of the motion objected to by the Noble Secretary. Lord KING replied, eio he Ind not heard a fingle argument to difprove to hi.r the propriety of his ton tio6 ; on the contrary, the argument ufed by the No ble Nl:minis convinced him the more Ilrongly, that as Ireland was a distant member of the Empire, it would be farther from the coat-outing vigilance of Parliament, and, confequently, the more liable to ablife, : inquiry, of courfe, became the more indif penrible, and he could not agree to the aruendme-t. The queflien, however, was put, and Lord Hawkef hury's .amendment carried ; after which, the motion, lb amended, paired in the affirmative. BANK NOTES.

It happens that a temporary diminution has taken place in the pro due of leveret of the taxes VOLCU tact year sison various artieles of the Confolidated . rod. That diminution, however, there is reafon to believe, will be only temporary. L.l?on tile whole. there fore, the propo:tion of Great Britain Iv, ill be 43,650,000 WAYS AND MEIMs . S. We come nest to the Ways and Means, by which this (urn is to be railed. In the firft place then there is the annual vote in lien of the LJ !11l and Malt, etc. 2,750,000 There is of let year's grants a furplus emounsite;,arif ine partly from the (urns voted for tac Navy not Laviag all been called for actually within the liQ year The ree article is th- growing produce of the Confc lidated Fund, cßimatcd, as ufue, upon an evcrage of the three preceding years. It appears that thc yrodece in the bit Three years was upwar is of oo,eccs,3ocl.; and that too, notw 7 thttanding the di ng:, vtion left year upon the ssrtielss of Wine, Tea, Malt Spirits, as I have already Rated ; and as there is every reafon to believe that diminution of a temporary nature, I have no befitation in eftirnat ing the annual produce of the Confelitlated Fund at 32,38 ; and as the wiled.: charge on tha n Fund will very little exceed 28.00,CC01. and that includine various mikellancous end extraordinary articles, 1 take as the furplus of thc Coal:did:gee Fund - The Property Tax and other War Taxes laR year, eftimated at 9,000p001. will not produce mor.. than 8,300,0001. But it Rill all:ords a fiat cring pidlure of the refourees of the country, that an augmentation of the Funds on which this aiditi- n was laid, pri ducest to within fo fmall a fum of the calculated re lish. Upon the experience: we have had, the Pro perty Tax may be eftintated at 4,600000 h But there are confilerabl t arrears beloteeing to lalt year, which coming in this year will make the proceeds of it amount to 6,300,e001. and at this rate may it be Rated this year. In order, however, to follow that Principle, which has been attended with the molt beneficial efleas to the public credit of the country, particularly exemplified in the terms of the Loan, which will be mentioned by and bye, it is my inten tion to propufe that there flail be laid an additior.al Tax upon Property of one-fourth, that is, three pence on every Chilling now paid, and this I calcu late will produce lot co,cool.
