I _repeat, I do not with to take any part in this affair, inn:4.r than to remark, that the Gentlemen on the °the - fide of the Houle attacked the Hon. Mettler who brought it fi rward with rather ton much vi vacirr, and without making any inquiry with re gard to the truth of his affertion. He was attacked as it he had uttered a faltehood, intlead of a fad he was able to prove." The Cam:cur-oft of the Even v.gy tta..." Sir, the attack came from the Hon. Gentleman himfelf a4ainfl the credit of Government. Ido not chute to appl v the word falfehood, but the inaccuracy of the itaterticat was, that Government was infolvent. 1 wilh to call on the Hon.

This day I have again attended, but on a fuppoli tion the public bufinefs did not begin till half-pall four, I was too late to hear the explanation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which, as a Mem ber of Parliament, lam fo - much interefled. I have felt great uneafinefs fince that converfation, left the Ifoute or the Public fhould think I had afferted that which was not - true. As the Chan cellor of the Exchequer is not here. I Ihall con tent royfelf with giving notice of a Motion calcu late.lro do away an impreffien which has gone forth into the world. It is enough that I prove the fad af this one note having been refufed payment ; but have in my pocket papers that will prove many, many thonfand indances of the fame nature. It is my intention tomorrow, to move for papers relative to the fubjesi, provided the Chancellor of the Ex chequer k in his place, or if it is more convenient, I will defer it to another day, but I nand pledged to make the Motion." Mr. BILAGGt—" I cnrinot, in Office to my Right Hon. Friend, who has kit the Houle earlier than ufual, on account of indifixltition, allow the obfetcations of the Hun. Member to pats unno ticed. My Hon. Friend knowc no loch rule as that the public bufinels of the Houle does not he gin till half paR four. He attended on -Friday, and was only prevented mentioning the fubjea of the preceding day's converf.ation, by a debate on a collateral itilsjcft, and by not feting -the Hon. Member in his place. To-slay, by twenty mi nutes paR four, he concluded he would not come at all. it was from no with prematurely to bring the bufinefs forward in the Hon. Membeetrabfetice he mentioned it.

Mr. MA la I I apprehend there-is no quef 'ion before. the Honk, and the Hon. Gentleman has no right to proceed." Mr. SPkGiCIA-" undoubtedly the Aria rule is as has been !laud, when there is no quetiion :fore the Houk, but the Houfe has generally relaxed the re.: with regard to a Member who thinks him- ICU perf i.ally ii.,:erefled in the explanation he is cf making. It was, therefore, I peunit ted 1 . . e lion. Member to exceed his right, in giving notice of his motion, but the confequence clinch pci mifron thews the propriety of adhering to the ruie which does sot allow any Member in giving a notice, to do more than flat: its objat. Ur.cluninedly it had been of late years the condant pia nice of the Honfe to proceed to public toulinefs at four o'clock, and any Member having public bulnefs, is at that lionr entitled to brin; it for ward." ♦Mr. tzaccr—" I was Pure, Sir, your plaice wou:d not prevent we from giving an anfwer to what was laid by the Gentleman who has jua tliven notice of a motion ; and I am futprized at it.tvurg been interrupted by the Hon.

Mr. STEAMER repeatedly called to order, obktv. inry he was in the judgment of the Houfe. Moil of the Members exclaimed—Orden, order I Chair, Anir Mr. Ralson raid hetonld to-morrow bring the butinef, thrward, by moving for Papers. Mr. HELY ADDINGTON :liked what were the Papers he Could move for The Sr LISS& laid, it was a matter of difcretion in the Hun. Gentleman to mention the precife Papers he fhould move for. It was enough if the notice was fufficiently dillina to convey the objea of the motion. Mr. Ransom fail he lhould, with the pennillion of the Houle, ftibmit a motion for the purpofe of obtai..ing that information which was not only neccfrary to his own charaler, but— The SPFAICiII again called him to order, re marking, that it was not cadlomary to make any uhferratinns on giving a notice.

The article that deferves mot notice is a fingular Royal Order, iMued by the King of SWEDEN, in confequence of a , :ifpute attended with Come uncommon circumili,:ces which had taken place between Come Nobles and the Landmarlhall at the lall Diet. It is as follows : GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, &c. " We hereby make known, that as it appertains to our Kingly office to watch over the general tranquillity of our kingdom, and to prevent fuel' incroachments,,which may have dangerous con. fequences for that tranquillity, and for the future (lability of the . Government, we cannot forbear to dire& a painful attention to the occurrences, which were fo unexpeeed that the laws had not provided againft them, the poffibility of • which, however, experience has (hewn, a That Noblemen thould renounce their nobility, and the rights connefled with it." Such a conduet betrays a contempt for an ancient inflitution, which was here, as well as in other countries, intended as a dillinguiffied re ward for loyalty, valour, and bravery, with other civil virtues, or for the ftrongeft encouragement to walk in the footfteps of diftinguilhed anceflors.— ' Although it can neither now, nor for the future, be feared, that the firft of the States of Sweden fhould renounce generally their honourable rights, which are founded in the noble duties, the fulfillment of which binds them to the King, to the Country, and to the Conftitution, yet the lawr neither can, nor mull allow one or more Members of this Order to arrogate a right, which could not he exercifed by all, with'.ut dellroying the foundations on which the Conflitution refts—For the preferva tion of the facrednefs of the fundamental laws in their whole extent, for the maintenance of an order, in conformity to them, and the true :Ipirit of civil fiviety, which they ought to inftafe into every Swede, we declare, that every Swedifb Nobleman who !hall for the future renounce his Nobility, whether hereditary, or conferred upon himfeif, or a right which duly and legally belongs to the Knighthood or Nobility, Mall not, from this hour, be conGderesl by us or our fuecelfors as a good Cubit& and attached to the form of Go vernment, nor (hall enjoy any of the privileges of the inhabitants of the kingdom in that quality ; but fuel' an one (hall be obliged immediately to retire from the kingdom, and he (hall not be per. milted to reticle or fojourn within the limits of Sweden, or the Countries or Provinces fubje4 to its Crown. Wherefore, &c. " Given at the Place of Stocl.hul,ll, Jan. s 6, 18o2." Hattovr a, Fr R. 19.—0 n the 12th the following ordonnance appeared here As the infeaion among horned cattle, which had broken out in the Eleelorate of Saxony, in Anhalt-Deftau, and Bern burgh, and alto in the duchy of Magdeburgh, has now altogether difappeared ; the prohibition iifued in this refpc& on the sd of Dec. laft, may therefore be removed, and the trade and dealing in cattle and Iheep, raw hides, and other articles from the ftid Provinces, be again rendered free, in the fame man ner as they esilled at the time of the Prohibition : yet the Prohibition muff be underftood to be re newed, the moment any appearances of the laid malady (ball be oblerved in the neighbourhood." HAMBUIGH, MAICIf 2.—This city will Ibortly have an -eilablilliment, of as much utility as agree ablenefs for both inhabitants and (hangers. The plan of Mr. GEL HARD VON HOSTRUP, to efablilh a houfe for company, is near its accomplifhment. According to the defign of that Gentleman, and after a plan drawn by the famous archited Rest it, a fuitable building will be crated, which will con tain fevcral halls and reading rooms : in the latter Will be found eiery day German, Englitb, French, Dutt/a, Danilh, Swedilh, Ruffian, and American newfpapers, price -currents, (hip and Court lift, &c. &c. Several accounts will be drawn up of all mercantile and political events, and regulated un der the infpedion of a librarian. As this plan is to afaful and advantageous, and the completion of it will particularly contribute to the wetness of Ham burgh, already more than goo of the firlt houfes here have fecund the fuccefsful iffue of it by fub feriptions; and it is hoped that by the beginning of the year :Bog, this beautiful building will be opened to the fubfaibers, and the ftrangers of all Nations FRENCH TAPERS. This rnorniakwe received Paris Journals to the sth intl. inchsaw. They are very barren of in telligence. the following being the only articles worth tranfcribing : PAII6, Maacu 5. —The Members of the Counci l of Agriculture, Arts, and Commerce,' at Mar_ Hies, have written to the Fiarr Consul. to ea rth td him their gratitude on account of the , tare he has taken 'for the re-eftabliihmcnt of the Commerce of the Levant and Barbary, and the amelioration of the Commerce of Marfcilles.

Letters from B:ine (late, that the French Go vernment has purchafed the elephant wlikh lately at - lived there, for the Mufeurn of Natural ilitiory at Paris. 4FF4IRS OF GUADALOUPE. American Papers,np to the z6t.: of Jamtray in cinlive, were received yelterday, which do nor, however, bring us any news of importance. The fever has been very mortal amongß the Ameri cans; fome rads have loa half their crews, and others nearly all. They are totally filcnt refpea ing St. Domingo, and a letter from Port Liberty, Guadaloupe, of the 4th of December, dots not put us in potTefflon of any new information. At that time, the fituation of the ifland was far from being tranquil, and the Whites, in daily expe-la tion of a genera. rife among tl:e Negroes, were making applications to be taken on board the American veffcls. A flag of truce had arrived from Dominica, which, in anfwer to fome pro. pufitions on the part of the revolters, rctufed to treat either with the Negroes or Mulattoes, and Rated that they Ihould be allowed to hold no con fidential lituation. The anfwer concluded by hold ing out threats of the fpecdy arrival ofa fleet, and a caraiderable body of troops to reduce them to obedience. It does not appear from thefe paper, that the Committee, to whom the Bill for repeal ing the countervailing duties was referred, have yet given in their report, though the commitment took place on the 16th of December bill. There have been numerous letters received at New York, containing accounts of the didurbed Rate of Guadaloupe. The flllowing is an ex traa of a letter from Captain SPAIN to his owners in Wafltington, of the late!! date, which appeared in the New, York Daily Adverlifcr, January 26 : --" Port Liberty, Guadaloupe, Dec. 4.-4 am afraid we 11101 be glad to make :in efcape with our lives before many days. The Negroes have made two attempts to rife; toe iirit was in Eafreterre, about the firft of this month, bat without much fucccfs ; they only {tabbed four men in the town, and did fome milehief in the country : the fecond was in this place, on the night of the loth and they alto were difperf,::, and with their ring leaders made prifoncrs. Laft night the Negroes began their riot in the Market place again, which I greatly alarmed the people. The Whites were running with their wives and children in every di reainn, begging of us to take them on board of ' our veffels. The women therni - elves did not ftop at milling into the river up to their waills to meet the boats, with repeated fcreams for Goo's fake to fare them. Although I made all poffible exer tions to call my falls off, my. decks wine crowded before I could effea it. In a few minutes ,I was under way, towed out in the bay, and came to anchor."

'While the Fnisr Coxsut. at the head of the armies was labouring to procure peace for Europe, while his whole attention feemed to be taken up with the ckflrudion of fadions, and totally bent upon giving a regular impulfe to the interior Go venment (it France. while affairs of the greeted importance obliged him to neglcd or let aride our Colonies, neverthelefs tic ifland of Guadaloppe, which, has always remained faithful to the mother country, was at the fame time the objed of his particular care.
