WNW ADMI*IITRATION• - Mr. FOX risk to call the attention of the Houle to a fubjelt, which he faid was rather of a curious nature. Among the new appointments in adminillration, a Noble Lord was included (Lord Grenville), who at , prefent held the office of Auditor of the Exchequer. which office was fuppofed to be incompatible with one to which this Noble Lord was appointed, namely that of Commiffioner of the Treafury. What the :colon of this fuppolition was he could not precifely determine. That doubts exifled upon this Cubic& he was aware, but that fuch doubts were well founded he was ready to conies that he Was rather inclined to quellion. However, as Inch doubts did mitt, and as it was the with of his Noble Friend, and thole who sited with him, that nothing like doubt or my ftery !build belong to their concludt, but that every part of their proceedings Should be perfeBly public and intel ligible, it was thought proper to refer to Parliament. If precedent were conceived fufficient authority to aft from, there kere two upon record which were exaCtly analogous to the cafe of his Noble Friend. The firlt was that of Lord Halifax, who was Auditor of the Exchequer. and who, upon being appointed a Corn =Witmer of the Treafury, refigned the former office to his brother, who (till was generally undettood to hold it in truß for that Noble Lord; the fecond pre cedent was that of the Duke of Newcattle, who, under the fame circumftances, made a Similar refignation of the Auditorlitip of the Exchequer. But his Noble Friend was unwilling to fquare his conduit by any precedent, or to follow any proceeding to which doubt t attach, and therefore defined that the queftion t be fettled by the dccifion of Parliament. Upon e grounds he had to move, That leave fhould be given to bring in a Bill to minim certain dOubts *itch exiled with regard to the compatibility of the office of Auditor of the Exchequer with that of Com. =Mawr of the Treafury. The Hon. Gentleman obferved, that if the motion Should be agreed to, it was his intention to bring in the Bill forthwith ; and as the neceffity of expedition in fuch a cafe mutt be obvious to every man, he (hoot& if no objeflion was made, move ,it to be read a firß and fecond time, and cointnitted for tomorrow. The SPEAKER hoped he Mould Rand excufed bpon this occafion, if, erroneouuly, he called the at tention a the Houle to the cutlom which had for knie time prevailed. This cutlom was, that prevl °us:notice Mould be given of any motion entirely new. The niotiop of the Honourable Gentleman, he con ceived to be a deviation from that praßice, and therefore he felt it his duty to notice it. When cir. etimllsalces occurred which rendered it peculiarly necefary to expedite the pagers of any Bill, fuch expedition was pea6icable without violating the prac tice be referred to. Indeed he remembered inftances In which ;chill was read a firlt and fecond time, and aanall7 patted within a day ; but (till the cudom of a previous notice as to the introduCtion of fuch bill was attended to. The objeCt of fuch a callow was obvioufly to guard the Houk from being taken by furprife, and he thought that without violating that falutary cußom the Honourable Gentleman's with for expedition might be tally attained, by giving notice, this evening, and briogidg forward his motioa to morrow. Mr. FOX declared that he was not inclined to make a complete bow to the enitom alluded to. He thought that the motion for leave to bring in a bill was quite tantathount to the notice required, as, on the face of kik ferred to guard the Houk againft being taken by furprife. The SPEAKER obferved, that he bad fulfilled his. etity, fn Falling the attention of the Hoak to the prac tice which had for Come time uniformly prevailed. The ATTORNEY GENERAL faid, that it had been the ration of the Houle for a confiderable time to conforM to the pratice referred to by the Chair, and the queftion on this occalion was, whether that praBice fhould be attended to, or whether it Ihould be given up to gratify the willies of the Honourable Gentleman? Tbat Honourable Gentleman profelfed to think, that no notice whatever was neceffary ; and he wilted to have the Bill alluded to read a fird and fecond time on the fame day. If fuch a thing were to be admitted, and the prat:lice were to go 00, as the Bill might be aBually puffed through all its Rages in one day, and if fo, what guarantee could the Houle have ROA being Liken by forprife upon the atoll important ineafures? As the Bill propofed by the Honourable Gentleman could not really be fo very argent in point of time, he few no reafon why it Should be preffed forward fo precipitately. Upon the Bill Will he did not mean at prefent to exprefs any decided opinion. But he could not help obferving, that from the precedents referred to by the Honour able Gentleman, no doubts feemed to have milled upon the point under confideration. For the meaning co be colleted from thole precedents was, that a formal feparation took place between the two offices, becaufe they were not legally compatible. The office of Auditor of the Exchequer was fubordinate to, and fohjelt to the check of, the Commiffioners of the Treafury. Ur Loo.f. the office of Auditor of the Exchequer and Commitlioner of the Treafury could not, either in law or equity, be confidently held by the fame perfon. Certainly fuch appeared to be the conception upon all former occafions, and therefore the Honourable Gentleman could not jußly talk of the exigence of any doubts upon the Cubic& The INA he had in contemplation, therefore, could not be Aid to be a propofition to remove doubts, but to coo& a new law. Mr. FOX Ilated that, agreeably to the fuggeftions of the Hon. Gentleman, he fbould give notice of his motion for to-morrow. Mr. ROSE Paid he wifhed to (peak upon the fub. lee of the Honourable Gentleman's motion. Mr. SPEAKER.—" There is now no queftion before the Hook." Mr. ROSE —" I have a very few words to fubmit to the candour of the Houk. Previous to the repeal of the 9th and toth of King William—" Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY.—" I khalif to the Houk whether the Right I lon. Gentleman will not have an opportunity of difctiffing thin matter to morrow." Mr. SPEAKER.—" That is quite right, for this leads to a debate without the poilibility of a cinettion being put upon it—the lion. Gentleman has with drawn his intention to move now, and given notice of a Motion to-morrow." Mr. ROSE.—" The Motion, wh:cli I heard was— Mr. SPEAKER.—" A Motion nut niadc at all. I thought it my duty to interrupt the Hon. Gentle man in his progrefs towards making a Motion." LADY NILSON. The Houfe went into a Committee on the provifion for Lady Nelfon ; when a with was expreired by Mr, Giles, that her Ladylltip thould have the title of Countefs for life, the fame as (he would have had if. Lord Nelfon had lived to receive that honour. Lord CASTLE REAGH obferved, that, what had been done. had been done on a full review of the matter, but titles were not given to women, without general remainders. After a few words from Mr. WINDHAM, the report was ordered for tomorrow. LORD COLLINGWOOD •aD Sit R. STR•CKAII. The Houfe then went through the Committees on the Provifions for Lord Caßingwood and Sir R. Stra. Chan; and the Reports were ordered for to-morrow. —Adjourned at half paR eight. HAMBURGN MAIL.

After having joined the remainder of the army, they will proceed towards the Elbe, and through the country of hieck lenburg. A Convention has been concluded between his Ex cellency the PrufEan Lieutenant General Count Kal kreuth, at Paderborn, and General Barbon, at Ha meln, according to which the PrufGan troops, in the territory of Paderborn, will form a cordon of neu trality, and fo long as it continues, Puffer no reinforce- ments of French troops to pars to Hameln. On the other hand, the combined troops will evacuate the country round Hameln, which will be again occu pied by French troops from Hameln.

Our beloved Emperor, Francis IL re-entered this capital on the 1 6th, and to-day the Archduke Charles likewife entered at the head of fix regiments of in fantry and three of ca►alry, which in future will form the gartifon of this city.

Ten days ago eight Ruffian Blips of war and tranf ports, laden with artillery and provifions from the Black Sea, palled through the Channel of Conitan tinnple,a:d failed for lonia. The number of troops on board thefe Blips was not confiderable ; but we learn from them, that the Ruhlian Court has deter mined to fupply the place of thole troops which failed from Corfu for Italy with others : with which view ten thoufand men are already collated at Sebanopol, and have received orders to embark for Corfu, for which illand they will fail in a few days.

His Imperial Highnefs the Grand Duke Conflan tine of Ruda left this city yellerday, and the Here- ditary Prince and Plincets of Weimar will leave us this day. BREMEN, JANUARY !7. Snme days ago nothing was talked of but an im mediate embarkation of the Britifh troops, in conk quence of the arrival of fume tranfports from Eng land ;—but it would appear at prefent that the arnty will not quit the Continent fo loon as Cl. peeled, as the divilion of the german empire, which Bonaparte has Ichemed nut, certainly does not pleafe the King of Pruffia ; and it is the unanimous opinion bete, that he will ni.t permit the Englifh army to be re•fhipped before an arrangement be made agreeable to his willies. No alteration in the pna t ion of the Britifh army. They are all quite alive here, but provifions of every defcription very dear, and alio fcarce. The peafantry in the country, and the trades people in town, are getting rich as fait as potable. The Guardi., and alto the regiments of the line, parade twice a day, and fo remarkably clean, and friendly is their condo& to the inhabitants, that you would be attouithed to fce how refpe&fully they are treated. P. S. Since writing the above, I have been favour ed with the following remark,, from good authority. The moiled Ufurper infills upon Profile giving up Silefia to the Houle of Aullria, as an indemnification the T i t,,l, and to take Hanover in lieu of it ; alio the port of Lmhden, and the whole of E tit Frictiand, to the Dutch ; for which he pr poles, in return, force part of Holland conti nuous to Prniti.t.— Thete, and lever.tl other changes ot an iniettor na ture, he iwitts upon as a ji , :c pa non of his friendthip.

The Emperor of Germany has returned to his ca pital. The French in Hanover hare made a Con. vention with the Pruflians for the neutrality of the territory round Hameln. Nothing is mentioned re fpeding the return of the Britith troops; but it is laid that the Ruffians are about to march home. Letters from Cunaantinople fay that the Ruffian force in the Seven Wands was to be kept up to the number previoufly there before the late expedition. Recent events, however, may probably alter this re fulotion, as the troops landed in Naples mutt now return. By the packet which arrived Lord HARROW/BY and Mr. HAMMOND reached England. Mr. HAMMOND came to town yetleiday afternoon. From the German Journals brought by this Mad, and from Dutch papers to a late dare, we have above given extrans of every thing worthy of DIICO. following is him a private letter 7 . EttLIN, JANUARY 18. id It is confidently Rated here, that among the 'At nor objefts of ambition with the Emperor Napolc, I , it is his intention to make Lucien Bonaparte King oi Spain; Jerome, King of Naples; Beauharnois, King t Italy; Louis, King of Holland; and Murat, King of Poland. During his flay at Vienna, the Emperor Napo leon difcovered from the hooks of Friers, the banker, in order to • It was in confegnence of Bonaparte's exprefs de mand that Cobentzel was removed. The rums in the hands of that banker, at the farther difpofal of England, he appropriated to him fell, and on that account, he laid, lightened the bur thens impofed on that city. " It is confidered certain that the Duke of Brunt. wick will obtain the Electoral Dignity ; but it is un- certain from what tetritory he will take his title.-- Some fay that he will retain that of Brunfwick Vol fenbuttle; others think that he will make an exchange with the King of Ptuffia of his own territory for Pa derborn and Hildelbeim, and call himfelf Elettor of Weaphalia ; but moll think, and with the peace& apparent probability, that he will obtain the Eleaoral Dignity of Hanover. ‘4 The Duke of Brunfwick goes to Peterlburgb, to communicate to that Court the neceffaryexplanations refpeolling the policy which the King deems molt conducivelo his own fecurity, and that of the whole North of Europe. This miffion is expelled to draw clofer than before Rutßa, Pruffla and Saxony. The . Royal Dignity was offered to the Eledor of Saxony. but declined." LISIION MAIL.
