Lindegren made his purehsfos 3.31 1 If 9 " The amount of there commlffions, being 17,2451 its. 'pent , ing to us etorldhant, we moaned Thomas Boner, Anthony Stough , and Geo. Todd, El.:pikes, Rolla merchants, from whom we obtiinol mach general information us to the mode of con &aloe the trade. both in Ruflia and this conotry. * From th,evideire of there Gentlemen we learned, that it Is the general pradUce at Riga and Petertburgh for the merchants dip ping hemp to charge a coMmilfion of 1 per cent. at the former. and 3 per cent. at the latter place, (or their troubie in making the purcliafe and litipping the article, anti that as Agent fent to thole places mull employ a refidest metekant, or make his pinchers under very gteat difadvantsges. * With rrfpeCt to the rate of commillion dually charged by merchants in thi. country tor procuring hemp from Riga, and esenagbig the whole of the imfinefs attending the importation. it was fbacct to us by Mr. ROW end Mr. trough, that the Meal ceentrdilkon charged In fach'etfes was two per cwt. * In eonfequence of this information, the Comuldioners caned upon the Navy Board for art account of the rates of Commiffien granted en perns employerrby them to purchafe navel Rotes, Ma log the Mulct - real . ..war, when it appeared that they were for Rigs hemp, tw per cent. to the perfoos at home, and managing the im *ertation, and two per cent to the merchants purchafthg at Riga. As the rates of commifton on the purchafc made by Mr. Linde pen. exceeded by five and shelf per cent. what would have been allowed, if the hemp had been procured through eitablithed mer chants in the Ridge trade, agreeably to the former pradtice of the Navy Scud, the Commigineers endeavoured to sfeertain. whether . any advantage refulted front fending an agent, to eompenfate for ebbadditional ex puree ; andthuy found that Mr. Lindegren's erft lid a r•er his appointment, was to employ Mr. John Morten, a ..., • I.rf in the. houfe of Thorky, Morton, and Co. of Riga, who et, La, it in England, to purcha(e from 1 to ease tons of Riga hemp, under an agreement, thin he mould be allowed the fame comaniffioo as tea charged by other merchants of that place. Mr. Morilon befog authorised to draw upon Win. Godfrey Thorn. ton and Son, for the amount, accordingly (et out for Rip, and I arrived there in the beginning of March; Mr. Lindegren f01100.,d him, but did not arrive until the beginning of May, at .. inch time Mr. Motifon bad punthafed, or contratit d for the whole, ~r i greater part of the 4:00 tons of hemp. " It is evident. the:Jure. (fays the Report), es for as regards this quantity, that :f the or. ! der bed been riwn, In the NO initance, to Man , .

The evert, after Rating that the appearance of an Fnglifb Agent In the Riga market, was likely to create an expe...",ation of an muftial demand, and that from the Ratement of Mr. Ha:li. day, the price of hemp well *dually enhanced by the appearance of Mr. Undegren at Rip, next examines the advantages ex. I 1 pedted from employing Mr. Lindeeren. On this (übjtet it pro cads thus— " It is Rated by the Comptroller, that the cireurnitance which led to the fending of Mr. Lindegren to Rip, was the Intormatem 1 Which Government had received, tbat the Enemy were taking *rimtone.

" Mr. Lindegren, Ender the authority given to him to preeent any fupply of flip hemp from going to France, purcluifed two then/land nine hundred and twn tons, ten hundred, one quaver, and eighteen pounds, which were Paid to have been obtained out of the hands of agents of the French Oevernment. _ " he toll of this hemp to the public, on an average of the whole qusntity. was 6cl. 17s. 6d. per ton. " 'I he invoices, which are all made nut by Mars. Thorley, Margo, and Co. Rate the hemp to have ben fold by them to Mr. Lindgren, and each invoke canalise a tharge of t °mullion, at the rate of two per cent. It rams, therefore, from there dram fiances, as well as from the tenor of Mr. Lindegren's correfpoo dence with the Navy Board, that this quantity, Inftead of having obtained out of the hands of Apids of the French Govern ment, was purchafed in the market, upon the ground, that it would othcrwife be bought up teethe (apply of the enemy. " It was upon this ground alone, that Mr. Lindegren could ex taut his purchafts beyond the four thoufand tons rpeetheafiy men tioned In his inftrudions; and his conduit in this penticular, kern e to have excited the jealoufy of the Navy Board, by their direlling him, on the 12th of July. t 795, net to purchge any more hemp, orders it bad been previoutly punctured for the enemy, and was alituallyihipping, or flopped, ou their account. " Notwithltanding this appearauce of fufpiclon, and the chore in Mr. Litidegren's inftrudion., by which he was unhinged to tale his belt endeavours :o prevent any (apply of Riga hemp from going to Prance, required that he Mould produce proper vouchers for lath a tranfaelion, yet the Navy Board, on miffing his account, did out require any particular vouchers for the purchafes Paid to he made from French agents. " commit:lions charged on the porebafe of this quantity of hemp were. Two and half per cent. by Mr. Lindegren, on the amount of the ffrft colt and charges at Rip 3433 la 3 One and a half pad cent, by Meffrs Godfrey Thorn ton and Soo, on the amount of the Brit colt, and all the charga,except Mr. 1104k-cm** commif -2,658 13 5 Two per COW. on the amount of the purchafe at Rip, charged In each invoice by Meats. Thorley, Morrifon and Company, on filch part as was not procured from Metres. MD and Halliday 1,316 I to " Thefts rates of comadffion ate conaderably leis than thole authorlfed by the original agreemeots with Mr. Liedegres and Mears. G Steel Thornton and Son, and which were allowed on the eurchafe of the four thoufand tons; hut they are Rill cool • deribly greater than would have been charged by the Grit Houk, !n the Raffia trade for the performance of the fame bands." The Re tort neat notices lame errors In the accounts refpeding tide rt-chafes, as palled by the Navy Board, but nine of any magnit.ele, and then proceeds thus " Ibe Second Statenseut made by the Navy Board of Mr. Lin degren's accounts fent the perdu& of hemp, is for that provided by him under the etimmifilon of the id of Auguft, 1796,amount ing to 167,73 tit 17x. ed. Zr this year hir.Lindegren went to Riga, and by the &idiom of the Navy Board, under authority from the Brit Lord of the Admiralty, given cn the ad of Auguft, purchared 2464 tons, 16 hundred. 2 quarters t and IS pounds, the colt of which, upon an average ot the whole, including the damaged, amounted to 361. 7a. 9d. per ton. " In the authority given to Mr. Lindegren, no Metoloo is made of the commiffions that were to be allowed on title tranfadioo; by the accounts, however, we find the following were charged' Two and a half per cent. by Mr. Lindegren on the amount of the Mt Colt and Charges at Rip £.3,149 ° S One and a Half per Cent. by Metres. Godfrey Thornton and Nia,on the amount of the Alit colt, and all the charge* except Mr. Lindgren's ons milfion - 2,431 1 0 Two per Cent. on the amount of the purchafe it Riga, charged in each invoice, by Melts. Thew ley, Morifon, and Co 5.544 is " The whole of this hemp was purchared by Metres Thorley. Morita' and t o. for Mr. Lindegren, and the commit:Son charged by them was overlooked by the Navy Board, as in the former a-of e, from the Clerk who drew up thelAbftratt and Statement having inferted the total amount of the invoices, as the prime colt of th e differ e nt cargoes, without any diftindion or notice of the commiffion and by ihia negled., we cannot but confider that the public futtatned a Ids, equal in amount to the coMmiffion charged by Maths. 1 borley, Morifon and Co. being 25441.32 a 7d. " The third Statement, made by the Navy Board, of Mr. Lindegren 's account for the 'mediate of hemp, is for that 'pro. aided by him in 1797, amounting to ars; tons, 7 hundred, q uarter., and , pounds, MX third of which was damaged and bad ; the co* of which, upon an average, amounted to fifty-eight poun d s a nd two-pence per ton. The different commiffione, charged and allowed no Mr. Llndeeren's accuuots, are the fame as in the Galt account, althoogh the Comptroller had previoudy agreed that Mr. Lindegren Mould be allowed two and a half per cent. eomrelflion on the purchafe at Riga, and Metres. Oodfret and Co. one and a halt per cent. for negotiating the benne(' to London, which two commlifions were to include all elpenee."— w This account," the Report lays, was Paged by t h e Commit 'Mu'• to Much, t 798, and it Is Rated by Mr. Gambier, that it wail Masolned and compared with the official lament by the Mens• hire of the Committee thernfelves, fo as to fatisfy them that the account was cerred. It may, therefore, fern, furprif ing , t h at t h e charge of commiffion by Media Thorley, Morifon, and Com pany, Mould have been allowed; the amount of which was, Two Thoufatid Seven Hundred and Seventy nine Pounds, Twelve Shillings, and Ten Pence." The Report next lays, 0. It having been Wroth red, upon an ex amination of the account of Mr. Lindgren, for the purchafe Of malt in 1797, that the invoices contained a charge of cornmiffion by MeffH. Thorley, Morifon and Co. of al. per tent. the Com mittee futonitted the propriety of this charge to the Board at large, who derided that the charge was right, as Mr. Lindegrem being detained here, by order of the board, tor the purport of puffing his accounts, was allowed to employ an Agent at Rip for the put , chafe In (lecithin." The Commiffitmen, on the contrary, contend in the Report, that if Mr. lindegren was to he allowed a cons utiffion, it ought to have been a very (mall one..-and adds, " Mr. Lindcgren himfelf admits, that merely writing the letter to aldrpcniorl t y, hlorifim end Co. ordering the hemp, was all the fervice he performed for the hum of aisoL ills 2d. the amount of his continiffion on this trarifidion." The Report neat Rates... That the Comptroller, on the 6th of March, a 799, au therifed Mr. Lindgren to purchafe ammo tons of hemp, for the performance of which he was to be allowed a eon,- mifLun of 41 per cent. for himfelf and agents, upon the amount of the diffiurfements,Under which order he purchafed 2244 tons, up on this rate of commifiion 'get per cent; and thus (lays the Re port la flop was put to the extravagance In the amount of com rniffions.' It alto Rates, " that in the fame year, the Navy Board purchafed at Portlinouth and Plymouth, loco tan of hemp, all of a grand quality, twat an average. 451.74.6 d. per ton ; whereas that pr :sdad by Mr. I.lrilegren, upon an average of the whole quan. tit coft fie. 6d. notwithilanding one.foorth of it was dating [ ed.or of ( tuba quality as would not have been received from Coo- I tradtors." Here ends the fie* part of the Report, which excinfively re lates to the purchafe of hemp, from which it appears. that Mr. Lindegren received, upon his fevers! pur.:hafes, a rum which might have been lived to the public. of 58,529 L 3► 2J. being the amount of the extraordinary oorrimiffions. Tbe fecond part of the Report, which relates to malls, ftates, " that Mr. Liodegren purchakd. by authority, a large quantity of milts from the French agent at Riga; that he put at board the deeps which brought home there roafts,a large quantity of firtimb,r, lath atilt lire wood for his own ufe, without paying freight; that this proceeding was aftcrwar,lsfandtioned by the Nary Board; that the addi•onal cape/sec of employing him to purchafc the mails was unnetclbry, all no advantage was gained from it, that Iliight riot be matted /ion tha riory.eftahliihed tours in the Ruilla trade." This part o the Repailihrther (testes frversi erroris and inaccuracies in Mr. landegnetes amounts I charges him with receiving gratuities from hies agents, Media Thorley, Morrirour and Co. and with applying the public mono/ to his private advan tage; and adds, " Upon a review of there tranf.oflions, we feet ourfelves called upon to Rate, that by a a want of futlicient know ledge (which (hould have been preyloufly obtained) of the eircum- Rance' aatending the employment of an Agent lent trona this coun try for the pureisitar ild Naval Stores, and the negicdt (hewn in the examination pf Lindcgren's accounts, a very ennflderable and unneceffary exposes has been incurred." The following Prefentatinns, in addition tp thole we mentioned yelterday. took place to Flaa Mai as- TY, at the Thawing Room: Lady Lucy Barry, by Lady Gramlle.

We are authorized to contradict a paragraph , which appeared in our Paper of February the 28th. Rating that the Right Honourable. Sir Michael Smith, Baronet, Mailer of the Rolls in Ireland. was to re tire on a penfion. His Hamar is not removeable at pleafure ; but holds his lituation, as the judges do, ImanteEm, eta. No arrangement has been entered into, or even fuggeßed to him, for his retirement ; nor does the Rate of his health, which is good, feem to render any fuch arrangement neceffary. Saturday left, the Court of Chancery in Dublin was extremely crowded, to hear the Chancellor take his leave of the Bar, as it was reported he intended, to do, at three o'clock on that day ; inflead of which his Lordfhip intimated that the Commiffion had not arrived, not was expe&ed until fome day in this week ; and that in confequence, during his day there, he would not fuffer the public Winer. to Rand, but would continue to hear attires as ufual.
