• • with prenounciag thigh enierginin 4 the tnnihniki difpofition, charater, and efficiency of the Volnn leers of Scotland. Y Mr. CANNING hoped, the Ha. and Learned Lord wnuld redeem the pledge he bid given, and Sew the Englith Minitters that he enuld, in forty. eight hours, frame a better Bill than that which had been produced in four months, by the united labour of this wonderful Government, from whom fo much was expelled, and who were raid to poffefs a concen tration of all the talents and worth of the Empire.— Thole men had, however, legilllared arangely . England, and he hoped the Learned Lord would bring in better and left objeAionable Bills for Scot• land ; but he mull remind the Noble and Learned Lord, that it was euflomary for perfons holding his h , vh official (Winn to communicate directly with Minillers, and *Muster meafures of this nature the Englifb Minifters thought right, the Sc-ts Knitter ihnuld go on paerVales for Scotland. Although the Learned Lord faid that be could draw the neceffary Ell in 4.8 hours, yet the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. Windham) had Rated, that he thought it ton late in the Seffion to bring in fuch a Bill. He confidered that this Bill WAS* breach of public faith, not only to the Volunteers, bat to the country that furniffied them. It was exprefsly Rated, that the provifions of the former Training Bill Ilsould not be alted upon, if the country fhould fornifft a number of Volunteers equal to fix times the number of the Militia. The country sot only performed its part of the contraft, but it did a great deal more. hollered even a greater number of Volunteers than the Government would accept. — The former Bill, however, was much better in its principle than the prelim. as-it acknowledged, and was founded on the ancient prerogative of the Crown, which the prefent Bill did not appear to admit. The prefent Bill alto contributed nothing to that objeft *hich was fn much writhed for, the procuring a dif poleable force. He would dtfy the Right Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Windham) to find out, in forty-eight hours, any fyftem which could contribute fo little to that objea. He confidered the eompulfion levere, which was to enforce this meafure ; and theretore he found hind:cif obliged to give it his molt decided op pofition. Mr. Secretary Vs'INDHAM began by taking no tice of the expreffinns which the Right Hon. Geode. man (Mr. Canning) Co frequently indulged in. about Minilters chaining all the talents and wtight in the country. This was a thing which appeared pecu liarly to rankle in that Right Honningnie Gentle man's mind, and in the minds of thole who fat near him. and entered with fo much rapture into that part of his fpeech. Neither Minitters, nor any of their immediate friends, had ever made ufe of any expref- Bon that amounted to finch a claim : He could not , fay whether it was an injudicious friend, or a fplene• ' tic enemy, who firft ufed that fort of language co ' !which the Kinourahle Gentleman Co frequently al luded. Minitlers, however, had repeatedly denied having ever put in fuch a claim, but they perceived that it g a ve the Honourable Gentlemen on the other fide an infinite degree of pleafure in reperging it ; while on the other fide they might be affured that it gave no pain either to him or to his friends.-=. The reafon that he had exprefsly affigned for not extending the Bill to Scotland in the prefent Seffion, was not from any diffatisfaaion which lie fuppofed to prevail there, but merely from the abfence of the Scots Members, whom he would with previnully in confult. As coropulfinn was the principle of the Militia Synern, it appeared to him molt Orange, that Militia Colonels fhould inveigh againtl this meafure as being compulfnry. It put him in mind of ao obfervation he had heard, that the moll plauli ble (Chem's for retrenchments and paying off the Na• time! Debt, often came from perfons imprifoned for debt in the King's Bench and Fleet Plains (a I lirergh). It alto appeared to him molt lirange, that this could ''n faid to be more enmpulfory, than the Training Al of a former Adminithition, when it was recolleeed, that in the prefent Bill, it is provid ed, that the fervice might be commuted for a fine, whereas under the former fyftem no fuch commuta tion was allowed. Gentlemen on the othlir tide had often hated, that certain expreffinns which he was fuppofed to have ufed at a former period, mull rend greatly to the diff lotion of the Volunteers. If it were true that he had ufed thole expreffions, which Ice denied, and even if thole exprelbons had been as improper as could be reprefented to have fallni from any individual, he fhouid afk, what fort of a volunteer army mull that be for a great nation to place its de pendence upon, who could be driven front the duties they had undertaken by the expreflions of any indivi dual, and who could be ditperfed like Virgil's Bees— " Pirlorrir exiprijatte ."' If many of the corps were ia pidiv decreafing in numbers, lie could affign a better reafnn for it. It was, becaufe mi.ny Offi:ozrs who had moll meritorionfly advanced large fume in th: igin of their corps, finding themfeives unable to continue thole advances, and perceiving that Government does net with to pay the expence' which were formerly defrayed by individual iubfcription, now teem to with to find Tome point of honour that will give an occa fion fora quartet, which would enable them to reign with a better grace. He confidered the affection, that this Bill was a breach of taith, to be altogether un founded and ablurd. The parties to the contract, were not merely the Volunteers and the Government, bat it was the whole community and the Government. The queltion, therefore, was merely whether the uncafure was right or wrong, whether it was good for elhe community or not ? If it were good for the com trophy. it would be moll ridiculous to tell the com munity that it would be a breach of faith to them to give them a meafure that was for their good; and that Covernment was bound by a contraft to them not to adapt fuels meafures as were necciary for their leen zit) and protection. Mr. R. DUNDAS hoped that the Learned Lord (Advocate) would, before the 'lnure role, give notice of his intention, (in defiance of the opinion of the Right Honourable Secretary) to bring in a Bill, extending the meafure to Scotland, it being, lie was convinced, the with of every Gentleman belong ing to that country that fuels fhould be the cafe. 'The LORD ADVOCATE did not underhand /plat the Hon. Gentleman meant by defiance. Ile came there as a Member of that kinufe, to do h•s duty and to declare his own opinion, not in defiance of the opinion of his Right Hon. Friend or any other perils°. From what he understood, it was not the wills of the Right Hon. Secretary to oppofe the meafure a,ing extended to Scotland, and with this ow:kraal:id. • Eng, by which the honour of kis sotistry tool& sot Puffer, whik at the fame time, from the near approach of the harvell, little progrefs could be made in the Bill in Scotland, even were it to be carried through this Seifion, he thought there could be no harm in hi. declining, now, un the 3d of July, to bring in the Bill till next Seffion. Mr. ROSE, jun. faid, that although the opinions of the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Windham) had not much weight with the Volunteers when he fat on Oppnfition Benches, it was a very different thing now he was a Minifier. If they confidered him not friendly to their eilablifhment, that C;ItlIT RADSe mug tendconfiderably to reduce their numbers. The iipmflion was then put, and the Houfe divided upon the motion for reading the Amendments : Aye:, 139—Noes, 33—.Majnrity, 136.—The Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day. Strangers were not admitted into the Gallery after the div:linn.—Adjourned at tern o'clock. LONDON. AR MY.—To Ott:Article with this title, from Bithal, but without fliniature, we would cheerfully give infertlqn, but that we think its publication woold tend to hinder rather than promote the objea which the writer has in view. FRIDAY, JULY 4. This day at one o'clock, Confols for opening were at 641—Reduced at 634*—and pmnium at 74 — Exchequer Bills par a ,ss. dilbotter. It is fill ►.onfidentally ruMoured, that Lord floc- LAND will aflually go to Paris on the bulnefs of the Negociation, reported to tie witng on. Monday next is now named for the day of his departure. Lail night in the Houle of Commons, an intereft ing Debate to• k place nn the Report of the G Tam also BILL, for the particulars of which we refer the Reader to the preceding columns. The ufual bleffage from his bhp {TT, previous to the termination of the Seflion, was bronght down to bcth Houfed of Pa, haircut. AVote of Credit will, of courfe, be granted to enable his M•Jsarr, In the words of the Meffage, 44 to defeat the enterprifes of the enemy, and provide for die exigency of public affairs." It is fuppofed the SefEon will not continue above three weeks longer. B goes out to the Cape, as Colonial Secretary; Mr. A Li:astir t accompanying his confin, Lord CaLEDoW, as his Private Secretary only. The latter will, however, hold tome other Ci►il Office at the Cape ; but who Office is not yet determined. Letts's from Harwich announce the arrival there nt the Phy fician and Mailer of the Horfe of his Se. rene Highnefs the Doke of 13sunswicx, Father of her Royal Highnefs the Princefs of WAL23. Thefe Officers have been fent foritard to make preparations f r the reception of his Serene Highnefs and the tell of his fuite, whofe arrival may be limn expeeed. It is believed that the suit of his Serene Highnefs has relation to the delicate invelligation that has Idle. ly been the fubjeft of Inch general converfati.,n. If it be true, as was Rated by the cartel from the Cape, that Admiral GUILLAUMIT'3, or jetto733% lqttadron, was teen off St. Helena on the zoth of Match, it mutt hare had . a quick run to the coati of South America. Should it prove true that the lqua dron in question has been at Sr. Salvador, and left it on the 3111 of April, all idea of operations in the Eak Indies molt be abandoned, and nothing appears left but to try to get Isle home. To go to Martinique could ferve nn objea, for it earl hardly be imagined that the operatiwns of Jusosta's tquidron,after t..king a cruize of fit weeks, in the latitude of St. Helena, could be combined with thofe of any other, at feet for ati m, in the Weft Indies. Apparently, the ob jea of It ROM a's expedition, whether it was the Cape. or to lie in wait for our homeward. bound fleets, or to proceed to India, perhaps, in company with that defeated by Sir Jona Ductwoavo, has failed ; and it feems by no means improbable that he may be in. tercepted by (brae of our various fquadrons that are' in purfuit of him: An inter:lling converfation took place on Wednef day night in the Finish of Commons on the fubjea of VACCIY INt•cuLiviors, oecalioned by the Motion which the CMANCeI.I.OI3 of the EacHtopic 131311 . 811 t forward, for the purpofe of obtaining the Opinions of the ant Medical Men in the kingdom as to the truth of thit: Great Dircovery. His Lordfhip, as well as every other Member who (poke, appeared to be fully perfuaded, that its effiacity was infallible, and its utility unbounded. The great objeft of the prefent Motion appeared to be, to remove the prthithee: that lately began to prevail in this Country against nation. And his Lordflrip Rated, that in confequence of there abfurd prejudices, the number of Annual Deaths, from Small Pox infection, which had been reduced from t,Sts to 622, had again rifen to 1685 tail year. The Members who delivered their opinions on this important fuhjett were repeatedly cheered fro:n all quarters of the Houle. The Gallery was crowded with Medical Gentle men, among whom we obfcrved Da&ors JENSKR, THORNTON. BLAIR, &C. &C. Lord &wens again took up the fubjeft laftrqght on fimilar grounds in the Houle of Lords, and we have no doubt, that from the concurrence of the high authority of both Houfes of Parliament, the prejudices complained of will be fpcedily and totally removed. It might be harfh and at bitrary to compel parents to vaccinate their children, and therefore we ate per• fuaded no loch meafure is in contemplation ; but, on the other hand, no perfou,even for their own lardy or that of their family, ought to be allowed is future to propagate the Small Pox by inoculation. The giflature has not only a right, but a high duty int. poled upon them by the fans that have been ellablifh• ed lince the introduftion of vaccination. The Litter is a difeale that can be propagated in no other way but by athial inoculation but the Small Pox pel;i• lence is propagated by infeetion through tile ;strum fphere from inoculated patients ; and furely it will not now be contended, on any ground whatever, that people ought to be permitted ftill to leaner abroad tire brands and death.

BARRETT, I!SQ 4 This was an Lndidment agninu the Ddfenchnt, Sa muel Barrett, Efq. a young Gentleman of high rpi. rit, who was dated to have lately come from the Univerfity. The following fads appeared from Mr. Gaitaow'sopening,and were afterwards proved in evi. dente. The private profecutor was a Mr. J. Curry, a tradefman, refitting in Mancheiler !tree. He had two.houfes at the Weft End of the Town, which he lee to a Mr. Plotter, a Gentleman of fortune front the Wed Indies, and brother in law to Mr. Barrett. Some of the Profecutor's furniture having been da maged, it was agreed he Mould be paid for the fame, and having called at Mr. Plorner's to alit for his money, the Defendant faw him at the door, damned him for an impertinent fcoundrel, druck him a vio lent blow on the fide of the head, and afterwards boafted of what he had done. Mr. MARITATT, for the Defendant, admitted, that he had committed the afratilt, but maintained, the provocation was fo great, that it wos hardly potliolo for the Defendant to avoid it. The Profecotor ufed the moll impertinent language to the fervent of Mrs. Plomer—" I defire," laid he, " that the will make reparation for the bed which has been fpoilt.d, and liltewife fend back the pillr,ws which fhe has (Wert ; and I will have her up to bow-llreet if the does not make gond the reparation fur the bed, and return the pillows." Mr. Barrett 'liked him " what he trenn. by fuch language ?" The Profeeutor then laid—" You are a d—n'd fwindling fcoundrel f"—s. A fwindling feoundrel ! What do you mean by that ?" laid the Defendant—" Yes, you are a fwindling let altoge tLer," Paid the Profecutor, and then followed the Defendant into the !tree, and feveral times told the Defendant he dared n't (bike him ; on which . the Defendant. thus infultcd and goaded, gave him what he merited, but what would not be , 1 1 .1ified in a Court of Jake, a good (harp blow with a cane. Elizabeth Smith, who had been fervant to Mr. Plomer, but who now lived in Walthamflow, and out of his family, proved thefe fads. Lord ELLANDOROUGH obferved, that as the afrault was proved the Defendant muff be found guilty.— What was to be done in the cafe afterwards was quite another queßion. On which the Jury found the De fendant Guilty. THURSDAY. JULY 3. lITIOCCILY V. 'CHU LLLLL ItG. This was a new trial—an :salon for Ufury. It ap peared, that the defendant had advanced divers fums of money to aflift the Marquis Chambonas, an emi grant of dillir•.6ion, in his mercantile (peculation. and that he was to have two guineas a day for every tool. fo advanced. The proof produced of the ()fury was the account kept of the feveral fums advanced, and the returns made ; but as Lord E LLLLL 0101/011 obferved, that, for anything the Jury knew, the money might hairs been advanced as a partnerthip in thole very fpeculations it was meant to affitt, the plaintiff was nonfuited.

In this, as in the lag cafe, the defendant, late a General in the French fer vice, had advanced large funs' of money to Ail the fpeculations of the Marquis Chambonas. It was agreed, that the defendant fhould have an intereft equal to 2501. per cent. but as the evidence of the fan depended wholly upon the memorandums made by the Marquis's female (avant, in her pocksie book, and as in every other tranfanion the Marquis kept his own accounts, the Jury, ddhelieving the girls found a verdia for the defendant. The penalties fixed for amounted to a tomoL FIAILY 1116.11.611111 V. JONI MOORS. This was an Mina fur flander.
