The Report of the Committee on the Infolycne Debtors BM was aect into confideratlon, when the different amendments made by the Committee, were agreed to by the 144ufw The Refolotions of the Commons rcipeding a more effedual mode for the promultution of the Statutes, which were con). munieated to their I-cu.:Mips at the late conference, were, en the Motion of Lord AUCKLAND, referred to the COD fidemtion of a Committee above !bits, to confitt of all the Lords prelent, The Earl of SVFVOLK felt it incumbent on him to call the attention of their Lordfhips to a cir cumllance which he deemed of the firl import ance in the prefent fituation of the country, name ly, that the expeded report from the Committee to whom the confederation of the high prices of provifions was referred, had not been made not withftanding the advanced period of the Seffion. The fubjee, his Lordfhip repeated, was one of great importance, and Paid that fomething thould speedily be done in it, in order to relieve the dif. treffes and quiet the minds of the people. There was another circumftance, intimately connefted with what he adverted to, and which he regard ed to be at leaft of equal importance and mag nitude, namely, the affair of Tythes. The fitua tion ?of the Country, with retped to there; re quired the fpeedy and decided interpofition of the Legiflature, particularly in regard to Ireland, where, and he (poke from information on which he could confidently rely, they were one of the principal fources of the diflurbances which agita ted that Country.—His with was that fome reme dial meafures with refped to that line of grievance thould come from the reverend Bench of Bifhops, to whole confederation he mofl ferioufly preffed it; for his own part, he did not mean to take an ac tive part in fuch a bufinefs this Seffion, but h! beg ged leave to obfcrve that he had fome confiden tial communications with perfons of ability, and polfeffing estenfive information on the fobjed, from which he colleded that it was abfolutely and of entially neceilary that fomething thould be done in the bufinefs in queflion, with refped to Ireland, in order to keep the People of that Coun try quiet. Indeed with regard to the general fubjed of Provifions, it was requifite that fome Legiflative meafures thould be reforted to, and thole, in order to render them efficacious, on a liberal and great principle ; as by a general fyf tem of Inclofure, or fome inch decided and gene ral regulations.—To the important contideration of Tythes, it was necelfary the Legiflature thould particularly attend, in which, as well as with re• sped to provifions in general, fomething fpeedily thould be done, or he feared it would be found rather difficult to keep the People quiet in either Country. The Earl of Moir• gave notice that he thould to morrow move for the third reading of the Infolvent Debtors Bill. Some private bufinefs .wa,s then difpored of— After which the Houle adjourned till to-morrow, when their Lordfhips Rand fummoned with refped to COpe's, Mrs. Addifon's, and Campbell's Di vorce Bills. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Order of the Day for the fecond reading of the Coal Re. plation Bill was difcharged, and Mr. Manning laid, as the Eid bon was fn far advanced. he fanutd, with the permilßon of the Houk, bring forward thin Bill next Salon. The Glafgovf Harbour Bill was. read a icrond time. A new Writ was moved for Helftone, in the room of Mr. Abbott, who finer bit election has accepted the office of Keeper of the Signet in Inland. • Upon the motion of Sir William Geary, leave was given to brine in a Bill to eltablifb a Market for Hops in the Borough. Sir WILLIAM Yovac, after a (tort preface, moved for leave to tiling In a Bill, requiring Returns of the Atreffinents made for the Relief ash, Poor for the tali ten years. Sir W. BUNTON keonded the Motion: which was agreed to. Mr. I (of Poole) moved, that there be laid before the tioufe an Account of the Number of Ships employed in the Greenland and Southern Whale fit:he:Rs, dm. for the Tears 179+,1798, t 7 9, rBoo,and 1801. On the Order of the Day for the thirclreading of the Scotch Militia Bill, Mr. W. DUNDAS propofed a Claufe for enabling Officers of the Englifh Militia in Scotland to fit Upon Courts-Martial. A fhort converfation enfued between Sir W. EL FORD, Sir W. PULTEMIT, Colonel BAGWELL, and Mr. W. DUNDAS, after which it was agreed to put . off the further conlideration of the aaufe till to- Morrow. • The Houfe having refolved itfelf into a Com mittee of the whole Houfe, to confider of the pro priety of permitting the Importation of Port Wine without paying the Duty; on being bonded, Mr. Vawsirratur faid it had been the prthice of perfons in the Wine irade, to keep a large flock of wine at Oporto, and to import it into thir coun try as it was wanted ; but in the prcfent fituation of that country, merchants were afraid they might lufe their property, and had therefore applied for leave to import it without paying the Duty, on condition of its being warehoufed and bonded.— Be honed the Committee would be no °Nation to cniicur in this application, as the merchant a•ot:ld be benefited, and the revenue would not injured ; he therefore moved a refolution• to th.it effect. Sir Jim); Russia. fall, he hoped this regula tion u plild be extended to Ireland. Mr. BR £OOl Paid, the Refolution was worded gee=-ally, and therefore of con: fe included Ireland. Sir Jona PARNSLL Paid, that as the Revenues of the two Countries were dißina, he apprehended that %seers Ireinrtd wasfpecifieally mentioned in this tali. the Refolution would not extend to it. Mr. Vawsrresax laid, that it was intended to emend this pros-U*lon to Ireland. • The &tsars Paid, he apprehended the Hon. Ban. was not correcil in fuppofing that it WAS ne cdrary t.. name Ireland fpecifically t this was the - Legillature of the whole Kingdom, mad undoubt edly, rmlefs Ireland wac particularly excluded, every Law would ex tend to it as ereU as to England. Mr:Jones wined to know how long. this per ntiffion was intended to 1.. f! —Was it, to laft till Portugal was out of danger ? Mr. VANSITTSRT Paid, the blank refpetting the time would be filled up in the Committee ; but he had no objection to fay, that it was intended to propofe to extend the permitllon till Ottober or No •ember next. The Refolution was then agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in in confequence. 'the Order of the Day being read for the con fideration of the Report of the Committee appoint ed to confider of Koop's petition, refpeeting his new-invented mode of making paper. Mr. W. ELFORD faid, he had no intereft what ever in this bufinefs, and he was only induced to make the motion with which he fhould conclude, becaufe he thought it would be highly beneficial to the Trade and Manufacture of the Country as well as to the individuals concerned. One objee of the Petitioner was, to be allowed not to enrol the Spe cification in the Court of Chancery, as it afforded foreigners an opportunity of taking advantage of all our inventions. The other (Ned was, that as it would require a larger Capital than any five men would embark in the concern, viz. between 5o and zoo,oool. that it fhould be extended to more than five perfons. He concluded with mov ing for leave to bring in a Bill, conformable to the Prayer of the Petition. Mr. Jonas did not objeet to the Bill ; but he could not but attribute the fcarcity of paper to the great confumption of rags on the Continent. Mr. VANSITTART faid, he fhould not objell to admitting more than five perfons to be included in the patent ; but he, for one, would confent to this fpecification being enrolled like all others. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. The Bill for transferring the Management of the Hair Powder Duty, and Armorial Bearing Duty, from the Stamp to the Tax. Office, was read a &ft time. _ _ _ Adjourned at Six o'Clock till To-morrow. LONDON. ERRATUM in our Paper of yetterday.—Page 3, col. a, laft paragraph, except one, for Plyweirth read Pylon corps.

The utmoft anxiety was excited by this notice, and during the whole of yefterday there was an expeftaiion of the hourly arrival of an Officer with difpatches ; but it turned out altogether a miftake. This morning, however, letters hive been re ceived from Cork, dated the Bth inft. which nate, that the Lydia, Capt. Dunn, (a veffel belonging to New-York,) had arrived there that day from Bayonne, in Spain, which place the left on the ad inftant, and had brought intelligence that accounts had been received there of GENERAL MENOU AND HIS ARMY, After being defeated by the Britifh, in a battle which took place on or about the 23d of March. Our Readers will recollea that ,the accounts from Conftantinople, by the Mail of Sunday laft, Rated that an anion was expeCted to take place on the 24th. So \car then the dates nearly agree ; and the onlf circumftance which dimi. Mille', though it does not go the length to de (troy the credibility of the news from Cork, is the 'Hence of the Paris papers of the Bth, relpeeing intelligence in public circulation at Bayonne on the ad, fix days being more than fufficient time for the intelligence to travel from the one place to the other. The fate of Egypt is at any rate decided before this time. Che French, however, feem determined to throw into that country, if they can by any means effed it. See the report of the Precast: packet, captured by a French frigate, and recaptured by the NAIAD, given in our Plymouth letter. By accounts which reached nt yellerday, and which teem to reit on force foundation, we have reafon to believe that the public will foon hear of an important change being attempted at leak if not effeeted, in the Government of Holland, on or about the Bth inft. A letter from an Officer on board Admiral DICKSON'S fleet, now cruizing off Goree, to a diL tinguilhed naval Officer in town, Rates, that the Confulate of France had come to a refolution to take poffeffion of Holland, and unite it to the Frcnch Republic, one and indivifible; and that this was to take place, or at !call to be attempted on the Bth init. That fuch a letter has been received, mad that Inch were its contents, we know from unqueftiona. We authority, though we are not permitted to mention names ; but we cannot fay fo much for the following letter, as the copy comes to us ano nymoufly a AMSTERDAM, MAY 4.—On the 29th ult. the long expetted General ANOIII.IAV arrived at the • Hague, but without receiving any, marks of pub. • lie dillindion. On the if of May lie affemblcd ▪ the Members of the Batavian Government, and • announced to them the Arret of the CoNloi.s, 6 bearing date April z Ith, declaring, that in con , fequence of the revifion of the Batavian Repub. lie, whi.-11 was long fince found neceffary, they ▪ had decreed that the Batavian Republic fhould • from henceforth lofe all feparate dillinEtions, and • form a part of the French Republic, one and • indivifible. This communication was heard with • evident marks of difguft, and the meeting broke up abruptly.—Symptoms of difcontent were ma , nifefled by the lower orders of the people through , the day, and the Orange cockade was hoifted in the evening. 4. At midnight a fecret meeting was held at the houfe of M. VANDER LINDEN, the late Prefident, by the principal Members of the Government, and a Difpatch fent off to Baron DE WiN /Ft in • the Ten!, ordering him immediately to fea, • with inarations to put himfelf under the pro ' talion of the Britifh, in the name of the Prince • of ORANGE. On the 3d of May, at day break, Baron de • Wirral weighed, with 13 !hips of the line, 7 frigates, and feveral fchuyts carrying one gun in g their prow, and on the 4th the whole Fleet had • pallid the Helder Point, and was lying within ! the Broad Bank, with the Englith colours flying • at their mizen, and a white jack on their fore , mall. The tumult is encreafing every moment.' To a certain extent the above letter agrees with the ftatement which precedes it, but had that part which alludes to the Dutch navy been correa, its truth ought, is the common courfe of things, to have been put beyond all queftion before now, as it could not long be unknown to our fleet of that coaft ; yet none of the letters from the Officers, of which feveral have been received within there two days, mention fuch an event. A day or two at firth& muft remove every uncertainty as to the truth or falfehood of the news refpeaing this new Revolution in Holland. The London Gazette of laft night contains the details of the capture of the Danilh and Swedifh Weft-India Iflands.—Their length precludes all obfervation. Yefterday afternoon her MAJESTY and the Pane. cuss., accompanied by their Royal Highneres the Dusssof Ks NT andCustaraixari, and Palace Amid. x u s took an airing in two carriages through Richmond. His Royal Highnefs the PRINCR of WALE. yet. terday vifited their MAJESTIES at Kew Palace. The Right Hon. the LORD CHANCELLOR. had a long interview yefterday with hishisitsry at Kew. The KING has been pleated to appoint Rc astir DUNDAS, Efq. to be Chief Baron of his Majeay's Court of Exchequer, in Scotland, vacant by the Refignation of JANES MONTGOMERY, Efq.

His Royal Highnefs the Panics of WALES, as Duke of Coaswsia., has given orders to the Lord Warden of the Stannary Courts of Cornwall and Devon, to put in complete repair the Cagle of Lidford,the ancient feat of Stannarial jurifdietion. The workmen have begun to remove the rubbilh round the Cagle. The ad Battalion of the Third Regiment of Guards had a Field Day in Hyde-Park yefterday, Commanded by General LISTER. Colonel Haw tl v by the defire of the Plymouth Volunteers, which he commands, having applied to the Lord Lieutenant, that the Corps might be put upon permanent duty, this patriotic requeft has been granted. The fiat divifion of the North Hants has march ed for Taviliock, in their way to Taunton. The fecond divifion of the fame rement were to march yefterday, • with 450 Frenc h prifoners, for Briftol, from Mill Prifon, which is thought to be too crouded at this fcafon of the year. It isfettled by the Tranfport Board, that when the number of prifoners in Mill Prifon exceeds three thoufand, the overplus are to be fent to different parts of the interior, to prevent epidemic. diforders. Colonel Hiss, of the 9oth Regiment, which fo much diftinguinsed itfelf in the battle of the t3th March, was (truck with a ball on the head, but as it happily firft hit his helmet, its effeas were pre vented from being fatal.—His head is wounded, and the contufion was confiderable, hut he was able to write to a friend or two by the conveyance which brought the official difpatches. Yefterday the Mailer and Wardens of the Bakers' Company waited on the LORD MAYOR at the Man. lion .Houfe, to fet the Affize of Bread, and it ap pearing upon examination of the Mcalweighers Returns, that Wheat and Flour bad fallen con& derably fine the !aft Returns, his Lordihip im. mediately ordered the price of Bread to be low ered three Affixes, or fixpence in the Peck Loaf, to commence to-morrow. The Q_uartern Loaf will then be fold for rs. 444 There is at Salford, in Bedfordfltire, a fine field lof Wheat in full ear. By Letters from the United Sates of America, down to the :oth of March, it appears, that Mr. carom, Chancellor of the State of New York, has been appointed Ambatfador to the French Republic. It is to his Majeßy's !hip Hiwnosr*s, that Cap. taro Morrs.sr has been appointed—not to the Lion, as Rated in Come paper! by_miitake. The latter is commanded by Capon MITTFOLD. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
