tt ti,inourable &ere tat y of State. With that y:ew they tonenrred in the appointitient of Lord Cornwallis, and in the fubfequent one of Sir George Barlow, from which he was happy to perceive. that his Majefles prefect Mmillers approved of this courfe of umceP , liva. Mr. HUDDLESTONE confidered the motion important. He thought the giving publicity to there papers would counter:lft the Lae which the inter cepted letters, publifhed lab year in France, and in this country, were calculated to produce on the ene my. They would tend to undeceive them refpeCting *hat they vacceived the ruinous policy whichwe were parfsting in thvEaft. They will alto thew that the Court of Diredors were as maxim's to repair thefil as if they had themfelves occafioned them. They will refute an erroneous opinion that the Mahratta war was alone the caufe of the (late of the Comp& *y's finances. It *as the general fyflem, which led di that as well as to all other eapences. He the* highly praifed the Government of Lord Cornwallis, and expreffed a with that a Retaliation might be brought forward by the Minillry, pledging the Hoofs to a perfeveranceln the jull, moderate, an d - wife mac lures of that great man, whofe lots all India deplores. Mr. PAULL deprecated the idea of forming a judgment of the charalter of the Rajah of Bhurtpore, Trona the ftatement which the Houfe had kill heard from the Right Honeurahle% Member of the Board of Contrail. When the cafe Ihould be fully conGelered, be had no doubt it would appear that this much iv- Jared Prince has been inevitably compelled to that c randy& which was called the molt wanton and atro cious treachery. , _ - . Mr. FOX mottled the inchtigence of the Hindi, inertly to Rate. in allufion to what had fallen from the Honourable Direaor (Mr. Grant) that his Ma jefty's Minifters did not, in the appointment of Sir G. Barlow, mean to pledge themfelves to the purfbit, of any particular 'fyftem of Government in India. The faa was, that the appointment of the Honour. able Perfon referred to, for whom he entertained a high refpea, was made even before the prefent Ad- Imniftration was fully formed, in order to prevent the inconvenience of any interregnum in India. . Lord TEMPLE pledged himfelf to prove, that re enormous expence of our blood and treafu , re in be wax with Holkar was principally owing to the ,:reaehery of the Rajah of Bhurtpore . Upon this onint, as well as upon the others, from which Gen tlemen profetTed tb derive their grounds.of accufation =mink Lord Wadley, he had no doubt whatever that the condo& of that illufirinos perfon would ap. pear to have been completely juttifiable. Mr: FRANCIS entered at great letigth'into his emit political life, and the great Cervices he had ten dered to the Eall India Company, arid the zeal with which he had, for fuch a number of years defended their interelts. He declared, that he fliould hence. forth decline to fet himfelf forward on.thofe fubje6s. As a Member of Parliament, he might fupport the 'notion by a filent vote, but he would leave to others the alive duty of prote6ing India. He had pro teaed it for a long time, with all hii might, but be found it an unthankful office, and for the future, in. /Read of giving his attention to the intereß of India, he fhould, as a Bran Member of Parliament, en deavour to prate& Great Britain. from India. and from that embarraffmcnt which the derangenmet of the Indian finances-might bring upon this coentri._, Sir THEOPHILIYS METCALFE thought tht publication of the papers moved for would have a* ofeful cleft by countaaaing the reprefentation vrhiehl bad been circulated through Europe refpeaing thel sate of India, principally in confequence of the let.' tern intercepted by the enemy. He vindicated the tharaaer of Marquis Wellefley. Lori ?OLKSTONE confidered the fending out of Lord Cornwallis with orders to purfue a fyftem of conduit diametrically oppofite to that of Lord Wiener, as a direa cenfure upon the latter, at teat as an exprefe acknowledgment that Iris, fyllens was not, according to the opinion of the Noble Lord (Temple), perTealy jullifiable. Indeed, he thought the prefent fituation of the 'Company's affairs, their debts at home and abroad, fafficieut to waif), the ill effeas of the fyftem of Government purfued by Xord Wellefley—a fyftem which was now fo gene rally reprobated, that he was furprifed settle ap. pointment of Sir Geo. Barlow, who was known to, be among its principal fepporters. ' WIC ADDINGTON difclaimed any intention, to pronounce en opinion upon the conduit of Lord' Welder. Mr. GRANT endeavoured to vindicate the con dos of Sir G. Barlow, by Rating, that although he followed op the fylken; ,of Lord Wellefley for fome time, yet the moment he received an intimation from this coentry that a different courfe was determined on. he expreffed his readinefs to conform to it. Mr. FRANCIS explained. Mr. WALLACE (poke egainßiany attempt to prejudice the cafe of Lord Wellefley. Mr. JOHNSTONE semarked upon the difference which was known to prevail as to the fyftem of Go vernment which ought to be *fled upon in India, between the opinions formerly expreffed by Rime of the prefent Minifters, and the courfe now purfuing in that quarter. He was glad, however, now to have the doubts which naturally role out of the difference alluded to, completely removed by a declared change of fentiment. Mr. FOX obferved upon the lo gic and the prudinze evinced by the laft fpeaker. His logic, he thought, by no means jut, and his prudence was certainly not laudable. For as to his logic, it did not follow that litcaufe Gentlemen thought proper to adopt a certain line of •policy, under certain circumstances, they would be fubjea to the imputation of inconfiftency in purfuing a different line where thofe circumftances had undergone a material change ; and as to the Ho nourable Gentleman's prudence, it Purely was not laudable to prefs the charge of inconfiftency upon any men who might Phew a difpofitioo to abandon opinions which the Hon. Gentleman himfelf pro nounced erroneous, and to adopt thofe which he pro. felled to confider correilly right. The feveral papers moved for were ordered to be laid before the Houfe. asilasca, The Moore in a Committee oh the Amer's= Trent, Adds, re folved, on the motion of Mr. VAMITTART,ihat the Chairman be direcled to more for have to bring in a Bill to continue the .tet of the 37th of the King for carrying into execution the Treaty of Amity and Commerce entered into between his Majetty and the United States of America...ale Report was ordered to be received to-morrow.

We are happy to find, that the accounts in the French Journals are in one point at variance, refpe.ling the fate of the Q2een of Naples. The generality of them agree in dating, that one frigate, a brig, and fifteen tranfports, loaded with furniture, arms, &c. were obliged by the virulence of the wind, to anchor under the battcries of the coati and surrender to the French ; but that the frigate on board of which the Queen was, though much damaged, had cfcaped. It is a little fingular, that the French accounts re fpeeing the fubjogation of Naples (honld have fur nifhed no intelligence refpefiing the Br itiftt and Ruffian troops whiCh were in that kingdom. The report of the cefLon of Anfpach by Pi ram to the King of Bavaria is confirmed. On the 24th oh. Marfltal Brari•oovra Mired a Proclamation, Rating that in confequence of an agreement by which Pru ffia was to occupy Hanover, the French troops were to occupy the territory of Anfpach. He therefore fe quetters the revenues for the benefit of the military chew. Frnm this proceeding, Rated to be in con juktion with PrufFra, it becomes more and more pro bable. that if the latter remains on gor.d terms with France, Hanover is the indemnification fht is to re ceive! The French troops ; it appears, are to form a cor don, &etching from the banks of the Dany he through ihe Upper Palatinate, and along the frontiers of Do• hernia to the Lower Rhine. It is raid they are alto to occupy Weflphalia. The army, flationed, in there different petitions, forms a prodigious mars of men; and it is conitantly increafed by Contitipts from the Interior of France, who are immediately diatiblted Among the regiments that have reffered moil in the Taft Campaign. The unfortunate countries occupied by them are in del - pair, being compelled to furni(h lubfillence, and frequently contributions to their un- welcome guells. Such is the prefent poStion of the French troops, that the! aftually invesl Prof La. This may either be in corferpence of the warlike attitude of the Rut: flans, or to overawe Pruilia, whole ambiguous poll. tics can perhaps be as little relied on by France as by any of the 4411etPowers. Hitherto the French have not entered the PrufGan difitias, nor the tertitories of Hcfre ; fl. as are however entertained, that the for bearance with refpetl to the latter will be of no long continuance. But thst will depend probably on the turn of the French politics wi h regard to ProlEa. The rearm of LUCCHlsnot's return from Paris is Paid to be, that during Bo 's abfence with the armies, he had written a letter to Italy, his native country (be was born at Lucca), raying that hopes were entertained that Europe would foon be freed from the yoke of BOaa►aaTl. This Bo &&&&& TS difco. vered; by the letter being intercepted, and on his re. turn (hewed Lich marked diflike to him, that the Marquis was compelled to folicit his fecal. Such at hail is the account given in private letters from Berlin. THE DUTCH FLEET. Notwitbflanding the authority on which this fleet was reported to have failed teemed inconteftible, we can now 'tate, that either there was tome malaise in the report, or the Beet mutt have very fpeedily re. turned into port. The FLORA frigate arrived at Yarmouth on Mon day from a cruise off the Tezel, and taw the enemy's fleet et anchor there, both on Friday and Saturday, on which days the Dutch had only (even fail of the line ready for tea. The FLORA met Admiral Russel. with his fleet, atfea, and in confequence of this infor mation, Admiral Russet. returned to Yarmouth Roads, where he brought his fleet again to anchor on Montley afternoon. The report ofthe Dutch fleet havingput to tea was to firmly credited, that Admiral Lprd Kum failed from the Downs yefterday afternoon, to affill Admi. ral Rosati in his purfuit of the enemy. We nn'detfland that the S has given k as his opinion, that Mr. Poetic:Afar does not vacate his kat in Parliament by his Law appointment' in Ireland, as there are abundant precedents of Commoners holding the Seals in Ireland previoufly to the Union; and as there was no dilqualification in the former cafe,neither does there exiftwny by-law in the preterit.

WISTMINSTIIt MlBTlNG.—Yeeerday a Meeting took place in Welinsinfler Hall, to confider of an Addrefs to his Majcily, congratulating on the accef fion of the Dew Maniary to office. _ _ Mr. WISHART moved an Addrell to the above elfett. The queßion being pot, Mr. Hines., a young Gentleman, came forward, to oppofe it. He Rated, that he was a houfekeeper in Weßminfter, and fully entitled, of courfe, to deliver his fentiments. He could not agree to the motion, which he thought ill•titned, and pregnant with danger.— Though he greatly admired the character of Mr. For, yet that Gentleman was now leagued with men nf every kind, and of every opinion; he was acing with men who could not in conjunai.in bring forward any general meafure, without a total dereliflion of their original opinions, which were well known to be of the molt oppofite and conflicting nature. He then ad. vetted to the appointment of Lord Exxstiaoeouon, the bill meacuic of the new Adminiftration, which he condemned as highly injurious to the Cordlitution. IWhat could be thought of another member of the new Government, who at one time had recommended 1" a vigour beyond the law ?" What alhirance or what pledge had the meeting, that t; nue Inch mea tcures might not be reforted to on the molt trifling pretence He therefore thought i' would be better I to drop the bufinef,, and with that view he thould move an adjournment. Mr. Naar refined this amendment. The Eleflors had known Mr. Fox for thirty years, and had tini• faintly found him the Ready and inflexible friend of the people, the bold and independent affertor of their . rights and liberties. Upon she fubjeft of one of the Members of Administration having formerly recommended a vigour beyond the Law," he had only to remind the Elators. that %%hen, by the inlidi ous machinations of dd . ...fleeted men, the Coatitutiou was in danger, prompt and vigirons meafures were neceffary. Without them thi, country would have been a prey to the anarchy and enaction which had I ruined France. As the Adminittration was now con • Rimed, it was inspoilible that any IllealllTCS could be adopted not confident with the efiablithed rules of jurifprudenee.—The quettion was then put, and eroded ye the original motion. ~~
