ISLII OF N•lI. Mr. CREEV EY rule to remind the Houfe, that he had, form time fence, moved for an Account of tke Balance in Hand of the Colleaor of Cultoms in the Ifle of Man, and the rea;ons why the faid Balance , were not paid into the Treefitry. as by law required. Ac order was then made, from a return to which it appeared than a balance had been accumulating in the hands of the Colkaor-for three or four years pail, the amount of which, on the 7th of February lA, was near 20,t001. and the reafon pleader: for dot paying it in was a letter from the Secretary of the Treatury, dircaing the Collator to hold over the balance. He therefore fignifted his intention td move for a Copy of that Order; with the Name of the gccretary who figned it. Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON. imnterNately rok, and faid, he was glad that be happened accidentally to be in the Houle when the Hononrable Gentleman fignified his with ; and as the order alluded to had beet ailed while he was Secretary to the Treafury, he to the belt of his prefent recollation, explain the chow:Rance. In the autumn of 18,)1, thortly after the previous change of Adminiftration, the No ble Duke (of Athol) prefented a memorial to the Lords of the Treaftity, upon the ground of his claims cn the Ilk of Man, which memorial had been referred to the Law Officers of ►he Crown ; that Ihortly , af terwards the Noble Duke had called Upon him to re ap& that the Wands of his memorial might be ex pedited, as much as poftible, through the hands of thole Oftieeri ; and at the fame time made a requeft, that an order might be fent to :he Collator of Col - - toms in the Ilk of Man, to . tv. , iJ over tile balances then in his hands, and which then amounted to no more than 40001. In compliance witk the requeft of the Noble Duke, and not apprehending any interfer ence with the letter of an Aft of Parliament, which directed the Collators to pay in their balances, from time to time, into the Treafury, he did write a letter to the Colleaor to retain in his hands the balance he then had, until further orders. He hoped the t : sure would acquit him of having written that letter with any wrong intention. It oficii happened, of necellity, that the Secretary of the Treafury did doe letters on fereral occafions, without ..vaizing, a regular order for that purpofe, but he never could have flippoied that :he Collator would ufe that letter as an authority for retaining in his hands the iliceetfive balances of four years, htherwife he would certainly have reprefented the matter to the Lords of the Treafury, who would doubtlefs have recalled that order. _ Mr. CURWEN bid, it would be dirally e-ntrary to all he had known of the Right Honourable Gen. tlein.tn, to tuppofe for one moment that he could be voluntarily privy to any finifier tranfeaion. The eir camilance, however, was another tlrong proof of the necetii ty of enquiry into the affairs of that Oland with the otmoil minutenefs. He concluded by moving, That the Committee on the Duke of Athol's Peti t inn be revived, and that the laid Collator he ordered to .;tend the fame."—Ordered.—Adjourned. LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE Sr. BAR N A 2Alo.4iGlidaY• A report was eireul.ted yefterdAy that the Corn biped Fleets had bees teen on the igth ult. off Ma. Beira. It was, however, intorrea, and arofe from the following circumfianee : Con. tain Bermes, of the Roebuck privateer, arriv ed at Pottfmouth, tell in with five fail of die line on the i;th of May. He was then under cafy fail I It.:;ues N: W. of Madeira, and the (hips, viz. 4 two 41:titers, a three decker, and a brig, were fern (leering Vt. S. W. under all FA Thefe veffels were ken Cue r.cfCvely, not in fight of each other ; and in company only fo far as may be fitppofed from their (leering Cie fame courfe. Captain BROOKS followed the three decker five hours faud was of opinion they were all toemy's Ships. In eonfequence of this opinion, Capt. Bemis, as foon as he made the land, forwarded a elifpatchtoGovernment, from the Start Point, liming the particulars. Yeaerday he attended at the Admiralty and gave wbat infortnatiop he was able refpeaing the (hips he bad (en. But from all the circumflances it appear ed very probable he was in a millake refpeaing the Nips being enemy's velfels, and the general belief is thAt they were a part of Lord Isist.sou's fleet which .11..d; . r0m Cape St. Vincent on the s ttb ult. fol the And diaance correfpond. The Weiimoreland privateer, Capt. GOODA , ar ived at Liverpool from a cruize, failed from Madeira two days after the Roebuck, and law nothing of any fleet ; nor was any feen at Madeira prior to the 16th May, the day that the Weamortland failed. This, however, proves ncthing againft the direet tellimony of Capt. BROOKP, and his fhip's company. The only circumflance that feems to throw any doubt on there vcffel, having been a part of Lord Nscores fleet, is their fuffering the Roebuck to pats without endea vouring to obtain information of the combined fleets at the fame time, this remark may be applied with the fame force againft their having been ene my's (hips. Lettersfrom Lord NELSON exprefshisLordfisip't full confidence that the intelligencehe has received of the enemy's definition is fatisfaftory. He firmly expeils that he (hall be able to overtake them, as they have more than ont point of rendezvous to touch at before they reat:h the Welt Indies, which Lord NELSON be lieves is their objea. His Lordlhip, notwithltanding •iis inferiority, (and he has only ten fail of the line, the Royal Sovereign being left behind) is determined to give the enemy battle. His Lordlhip will do fo with his native beroiim. and we have no doubt will conquer. We.wifh, indeed, and all England joins us, that Lord NELSON, thongh he might have had only five or fix !Lips of the line, had fallen in with the Tou. lon fleet on their way to Cadiz. Lord.NExsou would not have hefitated to attack them, to maintain at leaf a running fight• with them. Lord INIELsom would, probably, have lb mauled a feet of t t fail of the line, ill manned and equipped, and encumbered with troops, that they would not have been ahle.to put to lea again for at leaf three months. Nay, had his own !hips been grievously injured and difahled, fill to have defeated, by retarding the expedition of the Combined Fleets, would have been one of the molt important fervices that could be performed by a Naval Commander. . . 'Though there be many plaulible reafoos to fhew that ,the EaR Indies or the Brazils may be the ob. jed or tlte enemy, the balance of information, imper fed as it is, and of probability toe, at this moment feems to be in favour of the opinion that they are gone to the Welk Indies. Should Lord Nax:son fall in with AdmirAl CO.CHRATit Coon After his arrival, and probably he has fent him a rendezvous, he would be a full match for the enemy. Admiral Cot 1-1- [UNE, if aware of the enemy's intention, would, if he were to form a junelion with the other naval force in the Weil Indies, be able to keep them at hay, and prevent them executing any enterprize. We fear, however, that Lord NE LSON is too fangaine in his ex pe&ation of overtaking the enemy before they arrive in the Welt Indies. He was a month behind them. A letter ct lye(' in tGwn yefterday from Batt, by a refpettable hcufe in the city, Rates, that the Swift, (a runGing (hip) from the Weft Indies, is ar rived there, and brings an account that the Combined Squadron had arrived off Barbadoes on the 1/3th of April. This intelligence obtained very little credit in the city, as it vas fuppofed, that the informant had been deceived by the arrival of fome other (hips, and becaufe there was barely time fnflicient,tfince the failing of the fqu drons, to allow them to have reach. ed the Welt Indies at the period above mentioned. We have been favoured With the perufal Gf letters from an authentic fource, dated off Mara, the ill inflant, by which we have information that cannot be queltioned. The Nice lugger reconnoitered the Charente, on the 27th ult. and found in Rochefort, one (hip of three decks, five two deckers, three frigates, two brigs, and fevetal gun boats. In Ferrol the enemy have twelve (hips of the line, betides frigates, which are watched by Sir ROiIFRT CALDER with fix fhips of the line only. Admiral COLIANOWOOD parted with the Channel fleet on the 23d ult. with nine fail of the line and the Es DYMION frigate. Five other (hips of the line were to have accompanied this fquadron, but were detain ed in confequence of the return of the French (qua dron fir m the Welt Indict. Our fleet a Brett h fuperior to the French, not in numbers, but in force, confifting of twenty-one fhips of the line, of which no les than eleven art of three decks, betides frigates. The enemy has the fame total of the line, but orly three three deckers. Our (hips are in daily expedation of their coming out. as they have rbooo troops embaried, and their !hips of the line appear full of men. Govenment rilerday morning received difpatches from Liibon, which are Paid to reprefcnt the Porta guefe Cabinet in a very embarraffed fituation refped ing certain demands that have been made on the part of France, the objei of which is the exclution of I all Engin flips and merchandize from the purls of 1 that country. By extracts from the Monileur given in the Dutch papers which we have received to the gth ion. the Expedition under General Came is reprefented u having been compelled, in confequence of the united remonarances of the French and Spanith Mininets to the Portuguefe Government, to quit the Tagus within forty-eight hours. The Paws Ratner is Rated to have ordered the batteries to be prepared, in cafe the preremptory order he iffued ihould be refined. The faa is, that eveiy polible indulgence was ex tended by the Tortuous& Goveramtnt to the Englith forte which took Shelter in the Tagns, and that the Prince Regent was relueatt I y compelled to announce to the Commander of the expedition, the hard ntccf lity under which he was obliged to alt. Some private letters have aim been received frem Holland. The following is an exttaa from one of them: " We have for a length of time been perplexed with reports of peace, to no purpofe ; but if the ac counts which daily arrive here from different parts are to be depended upon, that happy event is not far dillant. Since the eltablithment of our new Confli tution, our Grand Penfionary is almoft in the daily receipt of difpatches from France, and he (peaks with the greaten certainty of a negotiation being on the eve of commencement, but as for its ending in pace, , he lays, that will principally depend upon England. Whild Tome of our merchants were in converfation with him the other day refpelling the new code of laws, to prohibit all commerce between this country and England (now pallid into a decree and officially announced), he expreffed a fincere hope that there would net be long any occafion to enforce them, as the Emperor of Ruffin and his Pruflian Majefty had taken fame pains to let on foot a negotiation for a general peace, and were likely to fucceed, with the conc•rrrence of England. He united their good in tentions would not be fruarated by the obflinacy of that• Power. Should, however, that prove the cafe, the Emperor of Ruffia has intimated that he will break off all connexion with the Britilh Cabinet, which he would be forry to do whilft it aded confifiently. , g , It is confirmed to us, in varions ways, that his Imperial Majelly has (through the interference of Pruffia) granted pafTports for. M. NOVOSILTZOFF to proceed to Paris, which he has done ere this. This circumilance has caufed an unufual fur, and infufed a more general joy here than .has been felt for tome time." , On the preceding letter we need hardly remark, that nothing is more eafy than to procure the receipt of fuch letters from flockjobbing Correfpondents for flockjobbing purpofes. By the Gottenburgh mail, which arrived this day, we have received the following letter: STOCKHM.M, MAY 27.—The King, Q2een, and Princtfs Royal, fet off on Saturday for the camp in Schonen, which is increafed to :B,coo men. 44 Count FUSPN, it is laid, is going immediately to Vienna. " The Protlian Legation will leave this capital to. day or to-morrow." The limo goes to-morrow to the Bank to view the new improvements. . Difpatches have been received at the Admiralty, from Lord GARDN KR, dated the sth inft.—all well. Two Meffengers have been fent off from the Se cretary of State's Office, for Peterfburgh with dif patches of importance. Yefterday morning, about eleven o'clock, as Ad miral MILBANK was leaning over the tfanniUers of his aireafe, he unfortunately fell down into the veftibule. A furgeon was ;pliantly fent for, but before he ar rived the Admiral had expired. He was in the 84tlt year of his age. STAra LOTTERY—Eighth Day.—No. 15,683, a Prize of eol. being the firft drawn, this morning, was entitled to 30,0001. At an early hour yefterday morning his MAJESTY left Windfor, efcorted by a party of the Royal Horfe Guards, in his travelling carriage and four, and pro. cettcled to the village of ledfont, where his nod was in readi:lefs to receive him. Notwithftanding the rain, his Mai erre mounted and rode four miles over ti.e common, to the place whete the troops were drawn out, where be was joined by their Royal Highneffes the Dukes of YORK, COMBER LA ND, SUS. SEX, and CAMBRIDGE, and feveral Noblemen and Gentlemen. The Regiments confifted only of the 19th Light Dragoons, commanded in the field by Colonel Maws. and the 14th, commanded in the field 'by Colonel HAWKINS ; the whole under the com mand of Major-General Sr. Lerma It, fecond in com mend of the dtaria, under his Royal Highnefs the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who did not officiate yefterday in his capacity as Commander in Chief. After the Royal Salute, the Regiments p a ir e d hi s M AJESTY three times, ra in ordinary time, fecondly in quick time (trotting) and lafly in open files. Having taken -up their original grouol, they proceeded to mancenvre. The whole line, which was upwards of a mile in length, there being more than repo horfes in it, advanced to the 'Attic, and retired in quick time. They then formed in rear of the right troop of each regiment, and deployed into line to the left, the lead ing troop of horfe in full wallop. The manoeuvre of changing the front was much admired by the belt military judges. and was executed with fuch rapidity as to caufe univerfal admiration. The line now re tired to the very extremity of the Common, and took a pofitinn (the I - Inuntlow Powder Mille in their rear) fur a charge.. They advanced in the different Bagel, and came down, within a few paces of his Marasee, in full gallop; the whole line then halted, and retired, fronted, marched up in ordinary time, and (alined his MAJESTY, who foon after difmount- 1 edt got into his cartiage, and drove to Windf a- to dine. His MAJESTY was in the rain for upwards of two hours, and was wet through. He wore the dreti of a Field-Officer, as did the Dukes of YORK, Cast ▪ and -CUMBERLAND. His Royal Highnefs the 'Duke of Sussex wore the Windfor full drefs no:form. The 9th Regiment of Dragoons is quartered in Hoodlow Heath Barracks, and the town of Hounc• low; the 14th Dragoons are in cantonments in Meek% Richmond, Needham, Haruptim Court, and places adjoining. The ground for this Review was kept by the Egli= Regiment of Cavalry, and the Royal Speltbornc Legion. This Review will be repeated on Friday next, with the addition of feve ral regiments, bode and foot, from the Camp GO litimbledcm COMM. NORTHER, POLITICS. At a period when the public mind is fo anziatilly direfted towards the Political Movements of the North of Europe, it is with fatisfaaioa that wa We enabled to contemplate the (late of the Courts ofdtit part of the world, through the medinm of a PAO. cation which has jail made its appearance, 'called, A Northern Sommer • or, Travels Rowed t& Gallic, by Mr. CARZ, a Gentleman who appears to hav e 'pof felled, and ably availed himfelf of every advents. geous opportunity of making . thofe remarks, which, with equal elegance and vivacity, hehas communicat. ed to the Public. Although he appears to have cemlidered Politics as foreign to his principal and profeffed °Elea of de. fel ibing National Charafteriftics, yet he has furnifind us with fuch obfervations upon the reigning Sove reigns of the North, as to authorife thong political inferences. The refult is, that from the antipathy which the fiefts of the neighbouring northern king doms bear teach other, our only hope of genuine and powerful co-operation nsuft be from Ruffia, wliofe troops, Mr. Casa lays, prefent as fine as ap- pearance, and are as well difciplined as thofe of the firft military nations on the globe. The Work con tains a very animated defcription of the reigning Em peror ALEZANDIII, and his Augur} Family, who are reprefented in a very amiable light, and as mach at. tached p this country. The critical 'and awful events which occurred, dur ing the brief reign of the late Emperor, cannot fail to render a circumilantial development of thofe eir cum(lances which attended his fall in a high degree interefting, and Mr. CARS has unfolded them in a mailed' , manner ; and the narrative cannot fail to be as gratifying as its melancholy nature will admit to the illuftrious forvivors, whofe conduit and cha, rafter throughout that momentous and gloomy affair, are effeaually refcnedfront ;he flighteft Mare of blame. The Work teems with manly and liberal fentiment, and its tendency is to aft in more ftrongly bidding together the interefts of England and Ruffia, the only nations that appear capable of affording deli. verance to the vail portion of enflaved Europe.
