commerce, and every Minable ;wren, of the etas depended. Sir W. YOUNG thought the Bill could not trench upon th e Navigation Ad, becaufe it was only to be retorted to in the cafe of abfolute neeeffity. It was well Paid, by -a Learned Lord, whom he reeolleaed in that Houle, that " what nudity create*, neceffity limits." There was now a fiatute by which the ex portation of corn to the Well Indies was limited to 3,200 tons. It was irnpolfible that 32,000 barrels could fupply the whole- population of the Wands : 232,0c0 had been the computation, but, in fat, not lel- toast 130,000 barrels were required for the fubfif. tence of the inhabitants. Sir Pilule Child, in the 4th chapter of his Effays on Trade, had Paid very juftly, that the principle of the Navigation At was power, not profit : he Paid, in a commercial point of view, it was prejudicial to the manufaanres and crow entree of the country. Since power was fo indifpen fable for the rapport of that commerce, he would not as a Member of that Houfe admit the partial and temporary interefts of the latter to interfere with the former. The Navigation At, important as it was, had not always been confidered indifpcnfably needf fury to the well being of the Sate. It was repealed 'us lately as s 6 Geo. 111. (c. t t.) when merchants were permitted to have three fourths foreign tailors inftead of three fourths Britith. All the difference now propofed was that the meafures for the fupply of the Iflands &mild originate with the Privy Coun cil, and not with the Governors. It was of great importance that falutary regulations Mould be made on this fubjea, becaufe a delay in the fupply of the effential articles of fubfiftence might occaltoa a tu mult which would fever there colonial efiablilliments from the parent (tate. But why thefe objeftinns on the ground of general policy ? The Government per. sMtted the Englifb manufaaures to be exported in foreign ( hipp ing ; the profits of thefe afforded the means of war, and furnilhed additional refources for the proteition of the kingdom. An inducement fur r i this expedient was to be flitted on another principle. A capricious Governor, in a cornea with his Council, might tell them he would that the ports if they would not accede to what he propofed, and thus any plan he chofe to adopt, however pernicious, might be forced upon the inland. On thefe grounds he (hpuld rapport the Bill. Sir CHARLES PRICE oppofed the Bill. Mr. ROSE recommended that the Bill fhould go _ _ to a Committee. Many (hip owners were ready to embark in the trade, if Parliament would net prevent them by this meafure, and they contended they cuuld (apply the Mantis nearly on the fume terms that the fame articles could be procured from the Americans. Why the Bill was brought in he did not know ; it was 'liked for by nobody. He thought it was due to the opulent merchants of the capital, and the great towns of the kingdom, to make this enquiry ; but not only thefe were concerned, there was not a Ihip-chandler in Wapping who did not feel himfelf interelled in the prefent proceeding , . Lord TEMPLE raid, Miniders had communicated with intelligent perfons in the Irifh provifion trade, and others in different branche., and they had the mortification to learn, that the means would be ina dequate without a Bill of this kind. Mr. ROSE very much doubted if they had cnn fished the old effablifhed merchants, men of probity and fortune, who were bell acquainted with this lubjeft. Sir W. YOUNG explained. Mr. BARHAM Paid, the queflion was, if the dz eifion was. to be removed from an improper to a elm petent tribunal, and fenfible of the fitnefs of the trent* ferenee of authority. he fhould fupport the Bill. Sir WM. CURTIS thought that the employment of the mariners and capital of the country was pro moted by this trade, and that it ought not to be re• figned without deliberate enquiry. After a few words from Mr. JEFFRY,Lord TEM PLE, and Mr. PERCIVAL, the quenron was put and agreed to,-and the Houfe being recoiled, the Report was brought up by Mr. ALEXANDER. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCLIEQ_UER gave notice, that he thould, to-morrow, move for the adjournment of the Houfe until Wcdnefday next. On the motion of Lord TEMPLE, it was ordered that the Tortola Bill be read a third time to.morrow. —Adjourned at ten o'clock. THE BYENJAG STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, MAY s 3.

There was, as ufual at there races, a very mime• rolls and genteel affemblage r f vifitants. His Royal Highnefs the Prince of Waits honoured the enarce with his preknce. London teemed to have poured forth all its population to the animated fcene : and we will venture to fay, that fuck a difplay of car riages and cavalry was never witneffed on any for mer occafion. From fix o'clock in the morning the road from London to Eplom, a dilance of fizteen miles, was one unbroken line of landaus, landaulets, barouches, coaches, chariots, curricles, and phaetons, with four horfes; together with all the other various meaner dcfcriptions of poll chaifes and pair, tan dems, gigs, taxed carts, jaunting cars, tilted wag gons, domeflics, moving parlours, double dillies, fancies, fulkies, dog carts, and other fantallic vehicles which are now in vogue. It learned to be a contentiy ,of all the (porting fpirits in the metropolis—for it ' world have been ruinous to a man of fafhion to have been Peen in Bond-flreet. It would have been faid that he could not raifi the wind for the Derly. The grand fetus of attraCtion was to witnefs the decifion l of the Derby Stakes, a race peculiarly interefting from the immenfe (urns of money depending upon the refult. I'o win this race has lately been the fa vourite boa, horfi of Lord EGRASIONT, who has triumphantly carried away the palm in two fuccef five years, and from the known intera which his Lordfhip takes in the cornea, the odds were co to as, that the produce of Lord F.cat oafs Stable beat the field ; the winning horfe was expelled to be his Lordlhip's Trafalgar, againti whom the odds were only I to 1, with high betting againfl any other. At half pall one, the hurfes flatted, and as the Cootie is only a mile and a half; they ran it all the way. Upon 'turning Tottenham Corner, it was perceived that Lord Foca?, Paris was rather pulling, whilll the favourite was maling play, but the knowing one: fl ill loudly ',esti fernted Ea a s "roar wins EGRSMONT, &C." Upon coming to the diftance, frafalgar and Paris were auk and neck, in which fittiation they continued notil within a few yards cf the winning poll, when the lat ter work aprifi: ; and, Oh, dire difgrace I Trafalgar was beaten by Paris. The tumult that coined is in conceivable; the knowing Ms were compl e tely W en us, and it is fuppofed that Lord For-sv, by accepting the odds, mutt have touched at lea ft 80001.

The company who chore were *muted with a pitched battle, for a fubfcription purfe, between the beats of the Derby and Plate. The combatants were, Mors, a Sher?erton man who has been kept by the amateurs of bruiting, and a Baker of Merton. It was a contea which afforded but little amufement to the judges of the (port. There was confidetable buille upon the road to the metropolis all the evening. Yenerday her Royal Highnefs the Princefs ELIZA. lIVTH completed the 36th year of her age. It is at length politively determined, that Lord I-Immo - row {hall go to Ireland as Commander in Chief, for which country his Lordfhip will fhortly depart, attended by his Staff. Though not finally rettled, it is firongly believed that Lord CATHCAR r will take the command in Scotland. Mr. ADAIP. embarked at Haruki), on Saturday lan, on board the King George packet, for Holum. We ate happy to learn that Mr. FITZ•CLAIIIIICP, who was indiipnlcd with a flight attack of the fcarlet fever, at the Royal bliiitary College, was able to leave that place Lilt Tuciday, for change of air, and is now nearly recovered. We are able to Rate upon authority, that no inflame of the lame diforder exins at this time either in the College, or in the Town, ar•d that circular letters to this cad have been lent, for their fatisfaltion, to the relatives vi the Gentlemen at that laßitutioa. ADMIRAL VILLENEUPE. It know generally admitted, that this unfortnnate Commander was murdered by the tame hand. which aved Toussattcr, PICHSCRU, Captain WRIGHT, ,nd many others, of their lives. I' may not be units -refiing to our Readers to find he , e tome of the con -I.terations, which may dire& their judgment on this m y fictions event While Admiral Vizzearuvr was in England, he received repeated affurances from France, that his Gove•nment were fully fatitfi Ott. contine Such was the information diredly tranfmitted by the Marine Minifler, Drees s, and corroborated by va rious letters, not only to hindelf, but to his Offi:ert. There Officers were unanim, us in reprefenting his plans on the day of battle to have been judicious, his mancenvres andials bravery exemplary. He had, in his inarudians to his Captains, anticipated every mode of attack that could be adopted by the Englilh, and had even provided for the attempt to break his line in two columns, which was fn fucceff. folly made. In effeding that bold enterprife, Lnrd Nazroa'S cr lumn was vigoroufly oppofed by the Be. c•nt:ur, Admiral VILLSNEUTS. and the Redoubtable, Captain Lucas. But it is aliened by all the Officers, that eleven fail were ina&ive. Several inflancet of bravery occurred in the French fleet. The condo& of rapt. LUCAS is well known. Capt. farm' es-, of the Intrepids, refuted to follow his divifion in its flier, obeyed the orders of the Commander in Chief, and fought till his 'hip, ,he worn fader in the fleet, could no I , nger be kept afloat. We believe that. tool every fhip of the enemy fought with equal bra very, the number of captures would, perhaps, have been Cliff greater, bot our loft would have been more cnnfiderable. Our prefent abject is to prove that Admiral VILLCUR ova was not refpon fible for the lots of a battle, which in any eircuro. dances not depending on accident, would have railed the Britilh name to the loftieß height of glory. Ad. miral Viz:Jimmy' was not vietortons, becaufe Lord NELSON was invincible. Admiral Viztati cur, was conquered, becatife Lord hiscsna was itrefitlible. Biro AAAAAA r has publicly laid that the battle was imprudently engaged. Does he mean that Admiral VIL LE/levet attacked the Englith fleet ? He knows that the laver began the attack, and that the former could not avoid the engagement. Does he mean that the Admiral left Cadiz impudently ? He rec , Beds the orders of his Minifter to iIizzsMIRUVF hirer set pur ity to be blotted up in teem. Ifft can tear the Ws of • few Aft, tut are cannot hear 4:10 of our honour. The Admiral did more than obey; he chafe the moll_pru. dent time, when a large detachment had left the Eog iith fleet under Admiral Louts. So confident was Vrzzseauva of the propriety of his conduit, fo eager was he to court invelligatinn, that he warmly and repeated!" folicited pertniffion to re turn to France. Baffled by the coldnei. of the laR Admiralty, he found in the prefent the molt curte ous liberality, and confegnently left this country with the Officers who were with him. He had been fe 'parated above a year from a wife, to whom he was tenderly attached t he had direr cd her to meet him in Paris. Within a day or two of that hterview, he is faid to have (hot himfelf! l'he naked truth is, that BIION AAAAAA knew that the Admiral was in p , ffeffion of the resfons why the battle was iwprwiendy engaged. He knew that his own iippetuofity had forced VILLISMII to rilk an en gagement. He knew that an inquiry mull either take place, or nor. If it did not take place, he felt that conclufions, derogatory from his power, would be drawn, as it would be an acknowledgment of the immenfe fuperinrity of the Englifh Navy. In the other cafe, he knew that an inquiry would produce difcoveries far from reputable to his own political fagacity. To free himfelt from this dilemma, he or dered a brave man, whole only fault was to have fought under loch a tyrant, to be put to death. A finsilar dilemma induced hies to murder our magnanimous countryman, Captain Who my., alter a ferias of tortures unknown to the moll uncivilized ages. This faa cannot be too extentively known.— We mean, therefore, in a few days, to put the len& hility of our Readers to a revere trial, by the molt dilmal relation which they have ever perufed. _9 I i I dr A Court of Dire Elora of the Eafl India Company was held on Tuefday, at three o'clock, which conti nued to fit until nine o'clock in the evening, to deli berate on the propriety of recalling Sir G. Baatow from the fear of Government in India. The proceed. ings of the Court were kept in profound fecreep—Lot even the Secretary was permitted to be present at the difeuflion of the queflion, which, we are informed, was extremely animated. At nine o'clock a divilion took place, when there appeared, for the recall of Sir G. BAR LOW,four—againit it, righters. ROBERT Hawsmaw, Efq.
