The Commandant General at Cadiz has publifhed an order, requiring all perfons, who have not had the epidemic diforder of lag year, to leave the city in a ikon time. This meafare is founded on the ob fervatioticonfirmed by expel ience, that wherever this diflemper breaks out anew, it always attacks thofe perfons who had before efcaped it.

People will be furprifed in Italy, on hearing the ab furd tales in circulation at Paris fome days pafl, of a pretended confpiracy, which was to bull ford► at Milan, to change the day of the M3a lively joy into a day of mourning. If the enemy has fete any fpies to Milan, they were as unable to effeet any thing in ;he capital of Italy as in the capital of the French empire. Without credit and without honour, they cduld not infligate any plot among any clafs of citi zens.

REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE UPON TOE ELE TENTH REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF NAVAL EN o,ototy.—(Continurd from Saturday': STAR ) The Examination of ANDREW 51:.:ra Ilammoup, Fart. Do put know at what time in the year 1800, there was fi: ft a deficiency of money in the hands of the Treafurer of the Navy, for the difcharge of demands for Naval fervices ? About the beginning of September, tsoo, upon confidering the lams than rema;ned to come in of the fupplics of that year, it appeared that the expenditure had been larger thin was expeded in the early part of the year, and upon an efiimate of what was likely to be wanted to the end of the year, there appeared to be a deficiency of about two millions and an half. Was that comparifon made by you as Comptrol ler of the Navy ?—Yes, and colleaed from the dif ferent Departments. Was it made by the define of any of his Majefly's Miniffers ?—I rather think it was made by the defire of the Secretaries of the Treafury, who looked to me for information on all fubjedts of Naval expenditure. When and to whom was that information given ? I believe it was given to Mr. Long and Mr. Rofe, certainly to one, and molt likely to both, in the early part of September, I believe, or pehaps the latter end of Augult. Having made the eflimate, what was the next communication made to you from the Treafury ? I had certainly frequent communications with the Secretaries of the Treafury, and was prefent when the meafure of renewing bills wasmentioned ; and I was afked, whether I law any objeainn to renewing hills, to any perfons that preferred having a new Navy Bill inftead of being paid in money ? to which I Paid, I few no objeßion. What was the next communication you received from the Treafury on the fubjea ?—A letter from Mr. Ly,ng, dated 7th September, marked No. 1, in the Appendix to the Eleventh Report. What anfwer did you return to that tester, and what was done in confequence of it ?—lt was put into immediate execution by a letter from the Navy Board, written to the Treafurer of the Navy, to re (pea, he would Rick up a notification in his Office, that fuch perfons as thought proper rnight be nem modated with new bills at ninety days, in dihharge of thofe becoming due, until further order. Were any Bills renewed in confequence of that notice (luck up?—Yes, a great many. Was any application made to. the Treaffiter of the Navy, by any holder of Navy Bills that were due, for payment, without renewal, with cafh, after this notice was flock up ?-1 never heard that there was any applica ion to the Treafurer of the Navy, nor mid there-be any clecalion for tueh appli c ation, thole who did not with for a freth bill received c.r amount in oath. What was the mode agreed upon between you anr! the Secretary of the Treafury, for carrying the m ta . fore (the iffue of Navy Bills) into execution ?—sTltt Navy Bills thould be made out to any perfon that Mars. Goldfmid, the brokers employed by the Treafury for difpoling of Exchequer Bills, Should appoint ; which brokers were to pay the amount into the hands of the 'rrealitrer of the Navy, fur the dd . . charge of Navy Bills becoming due. When Mai s. Goldfmid came to yon at the Navy Office, what arrangement did you make with they !for the drawing and difpnfing of thole bills ?—Mr. Goldfmid informed me and the Committee of Ac. counts, that if the hill, were made out to any p er t is that would put them into his charge, he would ina. mediately pay the amount, or fuch part thereof, r o . the Treafury of the Navy, A s was required fir carry. ing on the fervice of difcharging the go-day hilt. as ! they became due, therefore, on receiving M r . t.„ : ..,.. I letter (N 6) too,oool. (part of scio,oo,-;1. tinned in that letter) in Navy Bills, were made out in the name of Mr Cornwall Smally, who Laprr.. ing to he in the office, had propofed his narre t‘s m.:de ufe of; but the neat day, he having f‘gnr.fid I tome oblation on account of the dealings his hoefe had with the Board, Mr. Goldfmid having previously had a copverfation with Mr. George Glenny, he propofed the meafure to him, and Mr. Glenny in troduced Mull - elf to me for the put pole, previou% to which time I do not remember ever to have fe.ir Mr. Glenny, and thofe bills were deßroyed, and 1:7 ones And in the name of Mr.. George Glen n y when theft-. bills were ..delivered to Mr. Glenny, he wrote a letter to the Navy Board, acknowledgiog the receipt of too,oool. and the Islawy Board wrote to him in confequence the letter N. 7, in the A?. pendia to the Eleventh Report. What were the particular oblations made by Mr. Smaily to having his name mentioned in the Bills Mr. Smally Rated, that having very confiderabiz dealings with the Navy Board, his partners were of opinion, as well as himfelf, that thefe bills might clafh with his other accounts. Since you have been Comptroller of the Navy, have you known of any bills, whether ninety.day bills, or the fifteen-months bills, or bills payable in courfe, difpofed of for the purpofe of railing money before the year 'Soo ?—I do not know that any bills of any of thofe defcriptions were ever ilued for that purpofe previous to affober in 18,:o. In the converfations which you Rated yourfelf to the Commitlioners of Naval Enquiry to have had with the Fitll Lord of the Admiralty, concerning the bills iffued to Glenny, did you receive any direc tion from, or were you anthorifed by him to draw the Paid bills Seed to Mr. Glenny ?—Lord Spencer was fully apprifed of the difficulties the Treafury experi enced, and therefore gave his full fanelion to me to carry that meafure into execution. Ihe examination of Gxemos GLINAI, Fig. What inducement had you to permit your name to be tired as payee of the Navy Bills ?—A !I've offer. ring the public ; no other inducement, either direr ly or indireCtly. Was it neceirary you fibroid indorfe them before they were put in circula , i , in Where were they brought to you to indorfe, and by whom ?—The fit It 50,000 1 received at the Navy Office myfeif; afterwards they were ufually rent to Meths. Goldlmid's Office, and I ufed to call there and indorfe them in their Office. By whom was the change from the name of Glen• ny to the film of Dooaldfon and GIL n y fira fu . Telt• ed cannot charge my memo; a, b 4 I believe it was by me ; the realrm was, that I conceived that it would, in fame meafure, hide the neceffit y which Go vernment were then under, becaufe the bottle of Do naldfon and Gleamy had manyViEtsialling Bills,paffing through their hands for fervices performed, and I individually had none ; and thereftre the Bills when in my name, had a novel appearance in the maiket. Was not the change made in order to give the bills the appearanc• of more regular bills ?—That was my meaning. Was your fira communication with Sir Andrew Snare Hammond on this fabjett an accidental meet ing ?—lt Was Were you aware that thef - e bills were firtl made out in the name of Mr. Smelly ?—I was not. 1 he t:xaminotion of .111.1eteiit Gotntaiza, Do you ,ernember that at the time of the firtt iffue r:f Navy Bills, in September and Oftober tBOO, to Mr. Glenny, there was great &heft in the money markets ? Yes, there was a great diltrefs. Were other pu'alic fecurities, patticularly Exche quer Bills, very difficult to negotiate —Very much lb, and if we had forced the market, it would have made them fall to a confiderable ditcOunt ; it was re• ported at that time, that great part of the (applies that were granted, were exhantied, owing to the enormity of the price of provifions and gores. which occafioned the people that had money to hold them, felves in readinefs, as the Chancellor of the Exche quer mull foon make a Loan. Do you believe that if a treat iffue of Exchequer Bills had been attempted at that time, to fapply the exigencies of Government, thole hells Exchequer Bills could have been difpofed of without a confider. able tors ?—Not without a confiderable lots, nor even then to any large amount. Du you believe that if a Loan had been negotiated at that time, it could have been negotiated oa any terms not highly elifadvantageous to the State ?-4 Very difadvantageoufly, owing to a great part of the former Loan not having been yet paid up. Were the Navy Bills negotiated by you, difpofed of in proportion as the produce of them was wanted for the exigencies of the Naval Service, without diffi culty or lots to the public ?—Without lois to the public or difficulty. Do you know any other Me of public feettritiv. or operation of finance, by which the Siaes could 1: :ve been relieved without great diradvantage ?--I to fay this was the oniy way it could have been done. Do yt•ti remember whether any conliderable cubits in the money market exalted in the month of September, tßot ?—Yes, money was rather ICVCC, Exchequer Bills fold at about ont (billing dilcount, and then there was no great demand for them. If you at that time had attempted to tote tie market, would not the difcount have been gl ca:er e Very much fn. Were you tbeo em, loped to n3lociatf Navy Plitt n I' y
