NE. TODD )ONES ' S PETITION. Mr. WICKHAM addreffed the Speaker, and re quelled the favour of being permitted to fay a few words on the fubjed of Mr. Todd Jones's petition, on his feat, as his Date of health would not allow of his fpeaking in the ufual pofture. This requelt being complied with, Mr. Wickham began by Paying he was very, forry that, from the advanced period of the (Ann, there was little or nä hope or expeeation of feeing again in his place the Honourable Gen tleman (Mr. Fox), who lately brought forward the petition of W. Todd Jones, complaining of lateral ads of fevcrity and oppregion exercifed by the frith Government againil the laid W. T. Jones, a prifoner in Ireland, under the charge of high trcafon ; and as Tome of thofe complaints alluded to a period in which be ailed there in a refponfible litoation under the Government, and he was now no longer conflated with that Government, he hoped the - Houle would indulge him fo far as to permit him to Date what had paired relative to that unfortunate perfon dnring the woe he held the flotation of Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The fiat iinpi ifonment of Mr. W. T. Jones commenced, he laid, before he went to Ireland, and therefore he was not acquainted with any of the circumttances attending lt. The fe cond took place after he went thither, and finding, on inquiry, that Mr. Jones was a man of a very warm temper and an ardent mind, and had thereby been impelled to take the aftive part he had done in dittri buting books and circulating doctrines likely to dif tart) the peace of the country, he had given orders that he thould be treated with as much lenity with refpee to his confinement, as was poffible, conlifient with the nature of the =illations againft him, and with his Life cullody. That Come time after this, information arrived from England relating t 6 him, which was of a more ferious and important nature, and his confine ment became confiquently more firie, but in no in fiance whatever. that he knew of, either fevere or op preffi7e. But tliouei his health had for a confider able time obliged him to withdraw from public buil nets, and he had, in confequence thereof, left that country, it was but juflice to that Government, of which he once formed a part, to fay, that he never knew them in any one infiance give countenance to, much more encourage, ads of feverity or oppreffion. He had, during the time he was Chief Secretary, written to General Myers, and other Generals, who commanded in the diaries where Mr. Jones was im.. prifoned, at different periods, and had always defired they would allow him every indulgence which the nature of his fituation, and the due execution of their duty would permit. He begged pardon of the Houle for having fo ►ong trefpaffed on their time ;he thought ;t necelfary to fay thus much in jollification of his conduct during the time he was in Ireland, and he was lure the Houfe would therefore excufe the ttou hie he had given them. Mr. WILBERFORCE roft.,but was called to order by the SPEAKER, who ()heaved, that there was no outflion before the Hours, though an indulgence had A been extended. Mr. WILBERFORCE only role to congratulate thc Houk op the fenfibility chat had been difplayed hi the Right lion. Gentleman, in the manner in which he had felt a charge which involved any thing oppreflion on the part of the government of which he was a member. sea noses rnr►tas+. Sir W. BURROUGHS raid, that it was certainly his intention to purfue his notice, by propofing refo lutions this night, honourable to the cbarader and conduti of &r Home Popham, which had been Co unjafily attacked and afperfed. Thefe Refolutions went not only to notice his Cervices, but alfo the treat ment he had received. He wifbed that before he went again abroad in the ferrite of his country, he /mild receive the full juilice of that Houle. But at this late period of the Seflion, he was induced to defer his objet. He would, however, now read his in tended Refolutions, the fir& of which expreffed that the charges againft the integrity and honour of Sir lotne Popham were unfounded and unwarrantable; .• . • and the &cond. that his conduit, as CoMmander of, the fquadron, evinced zeal, ability, and integrity, and tended to the honour of his Majelly's fervice. This lA, he admitted, was not founded on the Re port of the Committee.—(Miermurs.) The SPEAKER here interrupted the Honourable Member, and informed him, that as he was now only giving a notice for a future day, he was tranfgreiEng the ordinary bounds of any notice. Sir William Bur oughs fat down. (Tbe motions are deferred till next Selfion.) lIMACHMINT. Mr. WHITBREAD gave notice of his intention to bring in a Bill to-morrow, to continue the fitting of the Impeachment Committee, during the Proroga tion. He thought this was fo defirable, that altho' very unulual, the Houfe would be-difpofed to adopt it. The only objection he could tortfee, would be froitta fear of its trenching upon the prerogative,— There was a witnefs now on the road from Scot land, who might not arrive in time to be examined before the Prorogation. He concluded by giving the notice. The order iii the day on the Articles of Impeach. ment being re a d,. they were feverally read a kennel lime, and agreed to with tome trifling amendments. The preamble was alto read a fecund time and agreed to, with forme amendments, propoled by Mr. WHITERIAD.

The enemy has quitted that part of the world to 'Muth to Europe, having buried a great number of their men during the Ilion time they re mained there. In one word—Lord Nai*oa is on his return in purfuit of them, and there is every reafon to believe that before this time he bas had as engagement; as the vac' which he difpatehed for England on the r3tli of June with the intelligence, came up with the Combined Fleet on the 3 gthi when they were failing very badly. It is the opinion of Captain BETTESWOPTH of the CURILUS, the veffel knt home with his Lordfhip's difpatches, that I.ord Nsssop, whom be left at the north end of Antigua, would overtake the enemy by the aoth or 2111, as his fleet was in good condition, and the crews all in good health and high (pi:its-- and euremely anxious to come up with the foe. We fobjoin a letter from Plymouth, written by a moft Intelligent and refpedable Friend, to whom we have often been indebted for articles of intelligence on important occafions, and which we always found to be coned t PLYMOUTH, JULY 7.—His Majelly's fhip of t 5 guns, Captain BhTTIIWORTH, arrived here this day, at 2 P.M.—by her we have the very plea. fing accounts of the fife arrival in the Wetl Indies of Lord Nrisoi, early in June s the &It Bland he made was Trinadad, which had not been diflurbed by the common enemy. Hearing nothing particu lar of the Combined Fleets, his Lordthip failed for Barbadoes, where he found Admiral C 00122114 with his Majelly's (hips SPARTIATI and NOITHUM 121LAND, and from whom he learned that the French and Spaniards had, during their Mort flay, buried 3000 troops ; and, from the (late of the furvivorv, they apprehended great difficulty in being able to return to France, for which country they had taken their departure. Lord Nitscia took the SPARTIATI and NOILTHUMIIIRLAND with him, as far as the N. end of Antigua, when he ordered them to return, confidering his own force a match for the enemy.— Tills was on the 13th of June, at which time not a tingle man was to be found on board his Lordfhip's fleet unfit for duty. At the fame time that the SPARTIAT2 and NOILTMUMICIMAND were detached from the Beet, the Cuassuz, by which we have re ceived this intelligence, was difpatched by his Lord tilt') for England. On the filth day after, vie. on the 19th June, the Cuateux came up with the Combined Fleet, and kept company tome time, to try their rate of failing. —As her Commander found they failed badly, and were, miferably handled, there kerns no doubt but Lord Nsisos weuld overtake them, poke* by the sorb or 2 f #l . gone. Their return, or rather attempt to return to Eu rope, is reduced to a certainty, and mug brighten the hopes of onr planters, and the merchants con . =ad with the Wet ladies in thi s country. MI MS!

Lord Ns LION had with him only to fail of die line, but had not a man in the fleet but what would come to quarters, and he had every confidence in his fleet, which induced him to fend tack Admi ral Cocnitasa, in the NOLTHUNBEILLAND, with the SPARTIAT a man of war, to their nations. Wind N.W. Difpatches to the above effea were received at the Admiralty . it an early hour this morning. The news has diffufed univerfal joy in the City, and Rocks have rifen in confequence, as our Readers will fee by look ing at the prices. We have received fume French Papers of the 26th and 27th tilt. from which we have made a few ex tra& ; but they are not of much importance. Laft night we received American Papers of very recent dares, viz. from Charierion to the 29th May— from Baltimore to the 3d June—from New York to the 6th—f rnm Philadelphia to the 5th —and from Bolton down to the i ith of the fame month. Thefe papers prefent Come articles from the Weft Itkhes, which, in the want of dire& intelligence from that quarter, might have been worthy of a pernfal, but are now of no imprtrtance. The Batton Paper of the loth June, contains alto the following intelligence, communicated by an American Gentleman, lately arrived at New York from France : "TOTHIt EDITOR-FROM FRANCO. " I have juft arrived from Nantz, and embrace the firft opportunity to forward you a file of Paris Fapers, and a few items of news. a When I left France, fome warm notes had paired between General ARMSTRONG, our Mininer, and M. TALLI+AAND, on the fubjed cf the line of conduit purfued by our Government towards the Court of Spain. His Inver ial and Royal Majefty, Nato Lion I. has canted it to be notified to General ARMSTRONG, that the Spann Government cannot, nor flail not, pay the demands of the United States at prefent Difpatchcs to this effth were brought in the Alliance, and forwarded to Wallington. " The EMPIROIt left Paris, for Milan, the lall of March. Pre►iouiiy to his departure, he was graciouf. ly pleated to order, that;the long-pending American claims (hould be brought to a conclulion—referving three millions of Byres for the payment of thole not yet proved. In confequence, General Aamsracnio had given notice to the claimants, at Paris, that be was ready to draw on the American Government for the amount of their awards. A notice of joy to the poor claimants, who had become quite difcouraged, and tome had even fold out at a dircounc of 25 per cent.—others had mortgaged their claims to their landlords for money to lire on. '4 Mr. Chancellor Livitiorron had returned to Paris, from his tour of Italy and Switzerland; and was fhortly to fail for the United States. On his ar rival at Paris, he had an interview with the Imperial Bonmars ; and the following day received the Em. perces portrait in a gold box, elegantly fet in dia monds, Paid to colt 45,00 c: francs (npwardsof 8000 dalars), and a flattering letter, written by the Em peror's order, expreffive of his high deem and triandffiip. 4 , I enclofe you a copy of the decree of the Em. peror, refppBing the marriage of his brother Item,' with our fair country-woman.—Mr. Rosser PAT• TIMON, brother to Mrs. JILROMA BONAPARTI, had been in Paris the laft winter; and had dined with Prince Josspa (who, by the by, is the beft of the fa mily) ; but no notice was taken of him by any others of the Imperial Family. " The French Emperor had declared himfelf agvinft allowing American Confuls to reticle in the French Colonies. a , Mr. Levittorrox, I am told, means to adduce the gold box, as an evidence of the refpea he enjoyed at the French Court. Poor old Gentleman ! he little thinks it intended merely as payment for the Coefpiracy-Leiter, and his journey to England. The little Hasher who governs Essrojw,has too much con tempt for every thing that fmells of Republieanifm, to reward or compliment any man who ever breathed Republican air." Yeflerday, in the Houk of Commons, Mr. WHIT BREAD brought an additional Article of Impeachment againfl Lord MELviLl.e, which relates to the furns placed in the hands of Mr. Mark Sprott, for other than naval purpofes. This Article was agreed to. He alfo gave notice of his intention to move for a Bill to enable the Continiuee of Managers to pro- Cad u ensign witeefes; aid *AO( d ie ;r Ploorso aotiriddionifing any prorogidisi of Parlip mem. Sir Watuare Boaaotrone poflponed the Refolo tions of which he had given notice, refpeeing the condo& of Sir Home Povitase, til. he next SelEon of Parliament, but was defirous to read tin tn. in whieh he was interrupted by the Houfe and the Speaker. In the Houle of Lords a warm difcafine took place on the fecond reading •f the Doke of Atmoa's Dill. Lord Ettewsoeoucit was particularly fevere on the mealure, and on the Minifters by whom it had been recommended and fupported. Lord Sin. MOUTH and the LORD CHANCELLOR were alfo againft the Bill. After a debate, which lafled till near one o'clock, the queflion for the fecond reading wasear. ried by a majority of 25 to r r.—None of the Peers who generally vote in oppofition were prefent at the ime of the divillon.
