A corps of French troops entered Rome on that day ; and, according to Tome accounts. they are likely to remain there, as tome change in the State is expelled. If public rumour may be credited, his Majelty King Jofeph of Naples will be crowned in the chut ch of St. Peter, at Rome. A few days ago, the flotilla which had been fitted up at Venice, failed for Chiozza, a fortified island, one mile fouth of that port, in order to take in their guns and ammunition—they are afterwards to pro ceed against the Ruffian and Englith Chips in the :idriatte Sea, which remain a dreadful fconrge to the trade of Venice.

A part of thefe regiments have already arrived here. Count Bellegarde, who commands them, is inttrufled to receive Cattaro, (which is to be evacuated conformably to orders ar tived from St. Petertburgh) and deliver formal poi f..flkn of it to the French.

The E ng fit and their adherents have fpread a report among ;he lower claffes of the people, that the time is not far ifiant, when the fines of 1799 will be repeated. • On the soth 1011. feed theft mihrable meekes t ' 'paid or reduced to ditlurb our tranquillity, forcibly entered C,afa Aturciana, where dißributing themfelves about the Arms, and ringing the alarm belt, they (mad a rumour that a numerous body of Ruffian and Englifb troops were sivancing. They br;:ke :npen the houfe of an individual, and got poffeffion of Ave muskets, wishing to arm the people—none, how e►er, would accept of them. At length being attack ed by M.

AUGSBURGH, June st—The Aoßrien officers at Ulm have received letters, Rating, that the de of tobacco pipes is ptohibited in the army, in conte. quence of accidents occafioned by fmoaking. It is afferted that the Porte has contented to cede Butrinto and the neighbouring difirie to the French as a part of the ancient Venetian territory—it has been in the hands of the Turks only fiace 1799, but this intelligence requires confirmation.

'fhe Baukrupt Laws Amendment 8111 was read a third time ant{ ROYAL FAMILY. Mr. VANSITTART brought in a Bill for grant ing Additional Salaries to the Younger Branches of the Royal Family, &c. Colonel WOOD raid, he took great fhame to him fed that he had not, by atietiding his duty on a fist:. ma evening, had an opportuoity of Bating his (intl. masts upon the fubje& when it was originally brought forward. That fuch a propofitinn fhould have been fubmitted to Parliament under the prefent circum• fiances of the country, and particularly by the Noble Lord lb difiinguifhed for the profeffion of economy, was to him, he confeffecf, no lel; a matter of regret than of aitnnifhment. The Houfe in general, indeed,' mnfl hate ben taken by forptife in this rine:ding, for w thing had, he ventured to fay, ever been 'brought before Parliament in a fimilar manner. He begged the Honfe to recolleft that the Noble Lord had in the Brit marrow introduced this meafure to the Houle, as a Bill merely to ratify a miftake in a former Aft, but immediately afterwards comes a propofition to make a confiderable inereafe in the fa laries allowed to the junior branches of the Royal Family, recommended by a Meffage from his Ma jefi y. When the fituation of the country was taken into view ; 'Olen it was confidertd that the income tax was railed to ten per cent. that feveral perfons of a certain rank in life paid feventeen and a half per cent. and that, indeed, moll people paid not lef., in ' public contributions,than fifty percent. of their whole revenue, the country mull be amazed to hear of this Bill. For the illullrious perfonages who were the objeLts of this Bill, he profeffed the utmoll refped, and he would be very ready to pay his own propor tion of any contribution that might be neceraty to the maintenance of their fplendour and happinefs.— If the Lords and Commons were alone called upon for a contribution of this nature, he would mat cheerfully affent to it ; but, feeling for the people, who were already fo borne down, he could not con fent to inereafe their burthens,particularly upon fuch grounds as were ft tted by the Noble Mover of this Bill. That Noble Lord dwelt upon the depreciation of money, and the enhancement of provifions, which fa much 2ff:fled other people, as a reafon for this Bill, but he took no notice of this fat, that the Royal Perfons to whom the Bin referred were quite exempt from the taxes which Co materially operated upon others, and that the amount of fuch exemption formed a confiderable virtual addition to their [ata xic.; and alto, that each of them poffeffed either a civil or military office, or both, yielding, in general, not lefs than four or five thoufand pounds a year.— If, therefore, the fituation of theft dillinguifbed per fons were compared Cu that of the Nobility of the country, who paid taxes, how much would the reve nue of the former prove to be fuperior P and yet to this revenue the Noble Lord propofed to add one third, which, by the by, upon further explanation, appeared to be one-half. The Honourable Officer expreffed his regret that the Noble Lord to whom he alluded Should not have been prefent to hear thofe obfervations, which a fenfe of duty urged him to offer, and which he did not mean to addrefs with any feeling of oppofition to the Right Honourable Secretary, to whom he did not mean to impute the flightell blame. For that Right Honourable Secre tary was doing nothing more than his duty. But, upon the firll occalion that Should occur in the pre• fence of the Noble Lord who moved this Bill, ht: would enter further into the fobjeft, and folly flate his protefl agaiolt fuch improvident walle of the pub lic money. Lord TEMPLE had no doubt that the Honour. able Gentleman ailed from his conception of public duty ; but he could with at leaf' that the Honourable Gentleman could have reconciled, with that concep tion uf duty, to poilpone his obfervations until his Noble Friend, to whom they were mote particularly addreffed, Should be prefent to hear them. Had the Honourable Gentleman been in the Houle tr. hear the arguments of his Noble Friend on a former even• ing, moll probably the objections which he urged this evening would never have been Darted. If, in addition, the Honourable Gentlemanhad been aware of that which was propofed only WI night, namely that the ellabliffiment of tables, coals, candles, ke. here tofore allowed to the Princes, was to be withdrawn, and which eftablithment was nearly equivalent to the propofed augmentation, the Honourable Member would have been, perhaps, Dill lefs difpolid to refill this Bill. The Noble Lor was perfuaded, that every jut refleSingman mull feel that an adequate inereafe of falary Should be gr anted to the members of the Royal Family, at a time when the rotaries of even the Subordinate clerks in the public offices were gene rally augmented in cunfequence of the depreciation of money and the enhancement of provilions, which formed the ground, upon which this Bill profeffed to relt. Colonel WOOD role to reply, but the SPEAKER (aid he was not poffeffed of fuch a right. Sir WILLIAM ELFORD fupported the Bill. But he difclaimed doing to from any with to wort the illufttious perfons to whom it referred ; not one of whom he had the honour of knowing or of being known to. From a fenfe, alone, of public duty, and a with to futlain the honour of the Monarchy, was he induced to vote for this Bill. The motion was agreed to, and the Bill was or dered to be read ot fecond time to-morrow. OAR sai' AMDNISIIII. _ Lord TEMPLE rote to make a motion ; of which he had not given notice, but the propriety of which he thought the Houfe would confider as rendering any notice unneceffary. There was a claufe in an Aft of James I. which prohibited every perfon from purchafing hark who was not a tanner. But every Gentleman mull be aware of the impropriety of any fuch refirillion. On this Claufe, however, he had. Ilearnt that various informations had been raifed,which might fubjed individuals to vexatious penalties ; but as it was nut pra6icable to repeal the Aft in the pre fent &Ginn, he a ifhed only that the operation of the claufe thould be fulpended, and therefore moved, that the Ulnae do tomorrow refolve itfclf into a Commit tee to confider of fo much of the Aft as related to the regrating and engrofling of Oak Bark. Mr. FELLOWES fuggelled, that the fufpenfion fhonld alto extend to that part of the AEI which pro hibited a farmer or butcher from felling hides to dny one but a tanner. Lord TEMPLE acquiefeed in the propriety of this obfervation, and the motion was agreed to. FRITILIGIS OF THP P 1515. Mr. BANKES moved the Order of the Day, for the Houfe taking into farther confederation the Re port of the Committee to whom the Lords Metiage on Privilege was referred. The Rcport of the Committee was then read and agreed to nem. con. and the (aid Rawer was ordered to be communicated to the Lords in a conference, Mr. Bankes being ordered to go to the Lords to re quell the Paid conference. INSOLVINT DIIIBTORS' BILL. Mr. HOBUOUSE brought up the Report of the Infotrent Debtors' Bill. Sir WM. ELFORD sainted the Bill to be re•com mimed to a Committee up 'airs, as he had time elaufes to propofe s which could be more conveniently propofed there.* The SPEAKER reminded the Houk, that dais' was the ufual enema in a Bill of this kind ; and a Committee was then appointed. INDIA. The Hon& refolved into a Committee upon the Nab , b of Arson's Debts Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEWEIt propofed Claufes to empower the Comm,&nets under this Bill to apprehend perfons rdufing to at tend, and to commit perfons refofing to anfwer quer dons; alto to order the Corn niffioners to make a re port of their proceedings to Parliament at leaß it days after the meeting of the &Mons, and from time to timeafterwardai loch reports to tomprebend Ells of the claims preferred, and of the deeirloae Pravifiaa ally or abfolutely made thereon, tog ether with a Ratement of the grounds upon which fih" Were made. h decifions After fome converfation between Mr. c.ercendi Mr. Windham, Lord H. Petty, Mr. Paull, mr• Grant, and Mr. W. Keene, there amendments w. `c agreed to. The Houle refumed, and the Report WAS ordered to be brought up to-morrow. CALICO raorreas. Mr. MOO RE role. purfuant to notice, to call the attention of the Houle to this fubjee. The evidence to which this motion would refer had now lain before the Houle for a confiderable time, without any re port being made upon it, and this could not ire con fidered by any means fair towards any of the parties concerned, but particularly towards the Petitionem who had been for many years applying to Pun. meat for redrefs. Their cafe was of fuch a nature as to call for a fatistaeory decifion, and he felt ea couraged to perfevere in his exertions to obtain its from the refult of the inveßigation refpeting the Woollen Manufafturers which the Hods had heard to day, and which he bad never relined his endea vours to produce. While the parties in that cafe were left in fufpcnle, the determination of their ballads being long poßponed, great diltrefs prevailed among them; and fuch mull naturally be equated to arils among the parties in this inflame alfo, if the Hou6 declined much longer to decide upon the aka of their application. He did not mean is pupas that the Hoofs should come to a final decifion upon the fubjeta in the courfe of the ordain Seim's, bus merely to refer it to a Committee, who would not, be yen lured to Rate, require more than one hose's deliber ation to determine upon it, in Itch a tray as &mild fatisfy the parties, and form the balls of a legiflative • arrangement, which her:age s! hlmfelf to bring for , ward early in the nesti • Colonel STANLEY was glad to nadsrfland that it was not the Honourable Ckodeman's intention to : propofe any legiflative provifion in the made of the • pedant Sedlon, as the attendance was fo thin frogs the Northern part of the country, to which bin by • eels was fo particularly intereaing. The motion was agreed to, and a Committee or pointed to At to-morrow. 1111•11CII. Mr. HUSICISSON gave notice of his ;steatitic to move on Friday, certain Refoluticms refpeeiog the Revenue and Expenditure of the Country.—+ Thefe Refolotions, the Honourable Gentleman at/ ded, would not be of the fame nature with thoGs which had been annually fubmitted to the Houfe for • Come years back, but would relate rather to the mode of making up the public accompte. SUPPLIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the HOu fe Gould go Into a Committee of Supply, and that therelltoold - be infirueions to the Committee to make compenfation to the Corntnif- Goners of Naval Inquiry, and to make Tome allow ance to the Commit:Goners of Military Inquiry, anti that the Veterinary College Petition, and the Bell Rock Report, thould be referred to the Committee. —Qrdered. In the Committee the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Rated, that the 6rR refolution which. be Should !live to propofe was one reffittling an in 'reared allowance to the Princefs Sophia of Gloucef. ter, founded on the particular circumfiances of her cafe. The other Princeifes had not loft their parents, *ad had the benefit of furvivorihips, which was not the cafe with her. Inflead therefore of 4,0001. annually which had been voted before, he would sow move, than an allowance of 5,0001. a year Gould be made to the Princefs Sophia of Gloncefier, in lieu of 4,0001. which had been charged on the Aggregate Fund— , and alto an additioual allowance of a,oool. to cont. mace from the death of the Duchefs of Gloucetler. Agreed to. The next refolution which he had to propofe was a compenfation to the Commiffioners of Naval In quiry, who had drawn near to the dole of their la bours. This, no doubt, would be granted with plea. fore by every Member of the Houle. He therefore moved, that the turn of a 6,5001. &mild be granted to the Commiffioners of Naval Inquiry, as a recum pore for the diligence and ability with which they had difcharged the troll repofed in them by Parlia ment; and that this turn &old be paid without fee or any dedtalion whatever.—Ordered. He next moved, that to,sccil. fhould be granted on account to the Commtffioners of Military Inquiry ; and that this (WA! be paid without fee or any de duElio n. Mr. PAULL agreed int:R cordially in the grant that had been made to the Naval Commiffioners ; but as to the prefent Refolution, he thought that we ought to fee a little more of the labours of the Mili tary Commiffioners before fuch a furn was voted for them. As yet they had done nothing to deferve it. But he would not infiß on the obje(lion if the Noble Lord was refolved to carry his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid that the fum was different from that granted to the Naval Commiffioners, and the furn was only granted on account. He agreed that we had not equal experience of their Cervixes, nor could we as yet, but as nobody could fay that they had not done their duty fatisfadorily, it was reafonable to grant this Run on account. Betides, the Honourable Gentleman Gutted to have forgot that they had already prefent• ed a laborious Reps.rt to the Houle, Rating a parti. enter abide, and he was happy to have it to Rate to the Houle and the public, that in confequence of the difcovery which they had made, and the Reps taken ' upon it, Government was in poffeffion of iecurity for tae balance doe to the public. Mr. WINDHAM laid that the principle upon which the Honourable Gentleman's argument fecal. ed to rooted was " nc ablfe, no pay." (4 lase) AMP
