Sir J. NEWPORT replied, that if this tax really 7 produced mood. a year, yet, as it was prodoelive of 1. great difeontents, /relatively of the ar rrrrr of pay went, he fhould think it his doty to move for its re i mal e . , wl;liwcshheisti:onttiegniti.tionwofoolndn;aolifmubmit ore liagficsyle on the poor of Ireland, and be much mo►e unexception able than this, which gave rife to confidetable animo flies. Mr. LEE witted to know the extent of the pro. dace of this tax ? Sir J. NEWPORT &id, it was impoffible for him to Rate the full extent of the amount ; as, owing to the caufes before•alluded to, one third part of it had not been collated. He believed the receipts hitherto had not been more than 6 or 70001. but had they been to,oool. he Rill should think it expedient to repeal it. After Come further et.nverfation, the Refolutinn was agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in upon it. 1. The Loan Bill was read a third tim e and p a ir e d. Sit J. NEWPORT moved the further confideration of the Report of the Committee on the frith Bank Note currency. Mr. FOSTER faid, he had no intention of oppof iog the motion, but to obierve. that as the objeß of it was to enable the Lords of the Treaf u ry in Ireland to compound with the Bank for the Ramp duties on its notes, he though it had better be deferred till after the opening of the Li& budget, and more erpecially fa. as it was a well-known fait, that the great Hines of the bank notes of that country, were the means of depreciating the paper currency, and keeping the e, balance of exchange fo very much againß Ireland. Sir J. NEWPORT replied, that the objet of the meafure avowedly was, to allow the Commiffloners of the Treafury to compound with the Bank for the Stamp Duties; but what the quantum of that compo. fition ihould be, would be open for dircuMon when the bill fhould be brought in; but it mull be evident, that an extraordinary Wise of Bank Notes mull be (offered, fo long as the furpenfion of payment in fpecie was continued. He obferved, that the iffue of Myer r from this country was continued, until that article was at the rate of fs. 7d. per ounce, and there was a lofs of 410,0001. incurred upon it ; but ihould the price fall, he was convinced, that it would be the dirpofition of his Welly,' Minifters to renew the fame accommodation.—The Refnlution was then agreed to, after a few explanatory obfervations, and a Bill ordered to be brought in upon it. Sir J. NEWPORT moved—" For leave to bring in a Bill, to regulate the packing of Butter in Ireland, for fele or exportation."—C ranted. COMOIITTII OT SUPPLY.

Ir appears by the letters received from Jamaica by the Mail of yeaerday, that Admiral DucKWORTH'S riflory had removed every apprehenrion entertained in that quarter, as no other French fquadron had ap peared, but that commanded by M. LEISSEGUESI erronenully called LF SAGE and La Ssicts, in the Gazette and other accounts. The dcaination of the other fquadrons which ef- taped from Breit at the tune time, with the cne de feated by Admiral Ducxwoarm, 11111 remains the fubjeft of conjeaute, and it lima very furprifing, that no accounts have yet been received of them.— The account given by the French was, that is fail fi the line, which failed from Drat, feparated, in a certain latitude, into three (quadrant, on the 24. th of December all. Of two of there fquadrons there is , up to this moment, no intelligence ; and it appears certain that they have not gone to the Weft Indies. A very brilliant exploit has been performed by the boats of his Majeßy's Ship la FRAICH tin, which have fuccreded in cutting out of Campeaehy, a remarka bly fine Spanifh man of war brig, of t 6 guns, and 95 men, although fupported by gun boats, a man of war brig, with s3o men, and a fchnoner of eight guns, which opened a tremendous fire upon them.— Our gallant countrymen, employed in this affair, were only fixty-four in number, and were commanded i by Lieutenants Donaxas, Fxsartmo, and Matins. The Plowden, Captain &divot, arrived in the River on Sunday afternoon, from Cuxhaven, after an un commonly quick paffage. She failed from that port at eleven o'clock on Friday night. In the courfe of the day, Capt. SMITH had gone on board his Majefty's (hip SYLPH, lying at Cuxhaven, to inquire if there was any danger in his protrading his flay, as he had heard it whifpered, that there was a probability of Britifh (hips being detained. The Captain informed him, he kpew of none; that the Commandant cf the fort was dining on board of him, and had received no orders to that effed. At the chili of the day, how ever, Captain SMITH received a communication from the Captain of the SrLvir, informing him, that he had better take his departure as foon as pofGble, as he had received advices by a cutter of an intended blockade; in confequence, the Plowden failed the fame evening. A fhip arrived in the River from Straltund is Paid to bring an account of notice having been received there of a PrufGan army being in full march to Swc difh Pomerania, but the occupancy of which, it is fuppofed, would be anticipated by a Ruffian force. HAMBURGH MAIL. The Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday laa, arrived this day. A letter from Vienna Rates. that the occupation of Bocca di Cattaro by the Ruf f ians, was the refult of want of information on the part of the Ruffian coin- , islander, and that the matter will be amicably fettled. This view of the matter we confider as extremely improbable. If the Ruffians had reafons to induce them to teize that poll before the figning of the treaty of Pre!burgh, they would be firengthened intlead of being weakened by that event. Betides, we find, by letters from Triefte, that the Ruffians have pe netrated Rill farther into Dalmatia, and taken pot. feffion of feveral other important polls. It is Dated in tome of the Foreign Journals that a good underfianding may loon be expelled to be re enablithed between Ruffia and France, through the mediation of a third Power—probably Pruffia. This fpeculation is unworthy of any credit. Our letters from Hamburgh inform us that the French troops in Cleves have taken poffeffion of Wcr. den, Elten, and Ellin, in fpite of the protenations of the PrufEan Commiffaries. The French claim thefe diftrifts as part of the property of Cleves, becaufe the King of PRUSSIA, laD year, introduced the efia. bliflunent of the States, and united the Deputies with thole of Cleves. The determination of the Cabinet of Berlin on this fubjed had not tranfpired. It is not probable, however, that any thing like effeSual re finance will be offered to this incroachment. In fall, whenever NAPOLEON than choofe to demand any other celTions from Pruffia, they mull be granted ! The (hutting of the Northern ports againll our sommerce was known 'at Copenhagen on the 6th. It is however, generally believed there, that all the Danifh ports will continue open to our trade. The Prince de PIOISSINO will, it is laid, have the Sovereignty of Switzerland conferred on him. For other articles received by this Mail, fee the fubjoined extrafts. VIiNN A , MARCH 29. —The furrender of the Bocca di Cattaro, in Dalmatia, by the Anlirian Comman der, on the fummons of the Ruffians, will, it is hoped, occafiiin no difputa, as it appears merely to have arifen from the circumnance, that after the figning of the 'Treaty of Prefburgh, the Commander of the Ruffian fquadron was net furnitbed foon enough with the neceffary counter-orders. Our Mi. minty has delivered to the Ruffian AmbalTador, Count Rafriumofski, a circumflantial Note relative to this affair, and requiring that the Ruffian troops (hall be withdrawn from the poll they have occupied. This Note has been fcnt by a courier to St. Peterf. burgh. The French Ambaffaclor here, M. Ds ROCHEFAU CAULT, has received from his Court the new French arms, viz. an Eagle with a Golden Crown. Letters from Trien mention, that various move ments were obferved among the French troops in Venice. This had given rife to a report, that the French, on account of the occupation of Cattaro by the Ruffians, were advancing again to Tritn, which report by the latell advice, is wholly unfounded. The Auftrian troops have formed a very (lrong cordon on the frontiers, on account of the difturbances in Scrvia, which begin to be very feriour- Our Ga zette of to day contains the following advices from Turkey : The fublime Porte continues the armaments againg the Servian rebels with the greaten ardrotr. The Pacha of Anatolia is advancing with a confidcrsble corps. Very preffing firmans have•fummnned the Paellas of Romelia and Albania to an a&ive and fpeedy cooperation. Slphia, Silifiria, and Min, are appointed for the principal rendezvous of the Tur• kith troops. In the mean time the Inforgents have gained feveral eonfiderable advantages. In Upper Egypt the Beys have gained the advantage in tome engagements ; the univerfal confullon and anarchy in that province inereafe daily. The Archduke Charles, with the approbation of his Imperial blAjeßy, has publifhed an order, by which the German and Hungarian regiments are all reduced to eighteen companies each. Srocsnozst, MARCH 28.—As one EaR India Company terminates this year, his Majefir has re folved to leave the trade more open to his fithjelts in general than hitherto. To this end a Regulation has appeared, granting an Oetroy for fifteen years, for the continuation of the EaR India trade. Several of our regiments have received orders to march to the fowl; part of the kingdom ; and the armaments at Carlf crone are a&ively profecuted. Co AAAAA 0111, APRIL 6.—We have received here the news, that the Ports and Rivers of the North Sea arc to be flint spina the Englith, as while the French were in Hanover ; Inn we knowto a certainty that thofe of his Majefly the King of Den NAIR, viz.

It is raid with tome confidence, that harmony is likely to be re.efiablifhed between Kuala and France. Prnpofals it is Paid, have been made by a third power, which, far from being rejeaed, have been re ceived with pleafitre. The Duke of Brunfwick has brought a letter in the Emperor's own hand to his Majelly the King of Pruffia. This letter is Paid to contain the firongefl afrurances of the continuance of his friendfhip.

He has taken a honfe for half a year. M. Alopaus, Ambafrador to the Court of Sweden, is arriv ed at Nienberg. TRIPST, MARCH 24.-I, is Paid the frontiers of Dalmatia will be extended. Ragttfa, and the three Grecian ports in the Adriatic, Butrinte, Prevefa, and Pargo, will very likely be united with it. According to the lateft accounts, the Ruffians have penetrated 10 further into Dalmatia, and, betides other places, have alfo taken poffelnon of the impor• tant port of Calla Nun's) and its harbour, in order to fecure their pofition in Corfu. The Montenegrins have joined the Ruffians. NAPLES, MARCH t i.—As Prince Hefre Philipßail Rill continues to defend Gaeta with the utmoß ob flinacy, and has rejefted all propofals for a capitula tion, the trenches have been opened againfl that place. The report that the Calabrians had cheerfully fubmitted to the French is falfe. The French army marches forward againit the Calabrians in three co lumns ; the centre is commanded by Mafrena, the left by General Lecchi, and the right by General Reg nier. The latter had lately a fmart adion with the Calabrians and the King's troops near Lago Nero. The Bifhop of Gaeta has in vain befeeched Ps ince Heffe to furrender that place, and to avoid the dread ful confequences of a liege. Our communication with the Sicilies is completely interrupted. We only hear from them by indireA channels. . FROSI TRI MAIN., APRIL. T.—IL if Cud now, that Marfhal Berthier will receive the principality of Neuf chatel, as a reward for his great Cervices.
