Mr. HlNlXlSSONtiotleecl that the ratan goieg eff his farm and the &midst would =l 7 Pay their quotas under the tat. Thi s was ing the obforvation of the Noble Lord. It alto was &Ten ing of notice, that the amount of the produce of theft affetTed tares was confiderably inereafed once 1792, when it was propofed to allow the receiver a poundage of ad. The Noble Lord would fee the neceifity of enquiring into this cirenatftance. and confider whe ther, as the receiver,. would conicqueotly hare large balances in their hands. it would not be adrifeable to lower the rate of poundage. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHNITER admitted that both objets were worthy the attention of Government. After a few obfervations from Mr. ROSE, Mr. RAKER, tee. the Refolution was agreed to, and the Chairman reported propels. On tbe motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER it was ordered, that the Houfe do so. I morrow refolre itfelf into a Committee to confider of the Ads of the 43d and 45th of the King. BLICTION TUI4IIIIIO SILL. Mr. TIERNEY moved the Order of the Day, for tAe kbird reading of the Eleftion Treating Bill. Mr. .BLACKBURN had fuppported the Bill in Its pticipal Rate,. but , from the alterations which it bad undergone m the Committee. he was inclined either not to vote at all, or to vote againft it. The sandidato was now permitted by the "Bill, to convey lbw elator ' at his own expenee, to the place of ela tion s and he did not think that the Treating Aft. of which this Bill was meant to be explanatory, war. tamed any thing of the kind. The Bill, therefore, want to alter and amend the law, and not merely to fhebire it. He thought that th e Bill had now few friends on either fide of the Honk, and that it had etsa.ny of theta who were originally friendly to it. )le therefore moved, that the Bill be read a third time this day three months. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON &fay ed, that though the greater part of his objettions to theßill had beenremoved, yet he thought kinks prefent form, in. competent to any nfeful purpofe, and therefore fhould fopport the motion now m a de. Mr. MORRIS confidered the Bill in its prefent form as merely declaratory t and as it did not appear to him that any grave and ferions doubts trilled with regard to the Treating R. he thought it nnneeet AO There had been no contrariety of deeifi• nin tbe,Courts of Law, nor had any doubts been enter. tained by the judges with regard to the Aft. Nei. they had any thing been deloered by the Elation I ttftitsittees on the folded, in the fhape of jtufgment. ;We ground!, he thought the prefent Bill was sot called for by any neceffity whatever. Sir WILLIAM DOLBEN foggelted. thatthe ea. ttee attending eleftions fhould be made the joint iineetn of-all the candidates, who &wild depofit a fun in the hands of the Returning Officer, who might be sinpowered to grant a moderate gratuity to defray the eipences of non.refident eleftors. Thistle thought would be a good way for maintaining the purity of • elation'. Sir R. BUXTON, in reply to the fuggeßion of the Fioilottrable Baronet, confidered it as utterly uncoil. • filmdom% that any money fhould be given by a can . • didate to procure a feat in Parliament. Sir W. DOLBEN explained. Mr. BAKER profeffed himfelf a cordial friend to the Bill in its original Rates bat confiderable altera• linos had been Introdoced into it, and he now thought It very different from what it appeared when fir pro pofid. He then entered into a view of the arguments ' for the Bill in its original form, and atrfirered feveral of the nhjettiotts which had been then urged againft it. He thought that there was no way of - remedying the abaci cohmlained of, but by making the law lo ATM, that it could not be broken at all. Mr. TIERNEY obferved, that he now flood in rather an unpleafant flotation, glace, by attempting to remove the grounds of objeffion of thofe who bad originally oppofed the Bill, he had loft the fupport of tome who were then its friends. He now meant. that the Bill &could be merely declaratory of the Treat ing AR, and from the opinion of Lawyers, with whom be - had converted on the fubjedt. and from the deci fi ons of Eleftion Committees, he thought a declaratory Bill might be highly ufeful. He believed, that (hook! the prefent Bill be related, fomething fimilar would be found neceffary, in the court of a very few years, to remedy thofe abufes which too frequently attended Elations. Mr. FOX Rill adhered to the opinion which he had originally expreffed refpating the Bill, notw:thaand. ing the alterations which had been introduced. He Would ever objeft to applying fuch a remedy to abnfes at Elation* as might eventually leffen the number of Vetoes. A divition then took place, and there appeared For the Amendment, 42 Againft it, 17—Ma joriActs. Bill was therefore 1011. When re-admitted into the Gallery. we found Mr. BASTARD enquiring whether aU Volunteers were ..io be put on the June allowance, as he had heard, that an order had been iffued from the War-office for putting tome corps on that allowance ? Mr. WINDHAM Rated, that :no immediate al teration with regard to Volunteers was intended in this refpett cntissa MACULATION BILL. On the motion of Mr. WINDHAM, the Houle refolved hick into a Committee on the Chelfea Rego fati , n Bill. Sir JAMES PULTENEY wilhed a claufe to be in- troduced, empowering his Majetty to withhold the Chelfea Penfion from loch as might prove undeferv ing of it. - Mr. WINDHAM obferved, that a Court Martial would have it in their power to inflidt a multi of this kind. A converfation of Come length then took place on the fubjet of the regulations under the Aft not he fug before the Houfe, in which Mr. HUSKISSON, Mr. BASTARD, Mr. WINDHAM, Dr. LAW. - RANCE, and M. FOX, took a part. After tome further converfation, the Bill paired ; 'through the Committee, and the Report was ordered _to be received to-morrow. LINEN DRAWBACK DILL. gr. FOSTER, on account of the fmall number of :Ambers then in the Ho Ile, moved, that the fecond teeing of the Bill fhould be paponed till Wed. neitlay• Si: ARCHIBALD HAMILTON conceiving the Bill would be injurious to thole Britlh serehnots erl6 had given lame orders, moved, as at► amend meet. that Inflead orWednefday, the words this day throe months' Wok( be Wetted. Mr. MAGENS oppofed the principle of the Bill, 'as he conceived that in order to fell our own linens at the Weß•lndia market, we mull alto have foreign linens to make up the affottment. Mr. STEWART conceived, that there was no etc cation, and that Ireland could afford afloat:sent fur• ficient for the Weft India market. Lord TEMPLE obierved, that the law, sett Rood now, was not what it had been the intention of the Board of Trade : by tome Rrange millake in drawing up the Ail of Parliament, the drawback was not given to our plain linens, which it was the objea of the Legiflature to protelf. He feared, however, that any alteration at prefent would injure the rights of the nierchan , s who had been alluded to. Mr. FOSTER replied, that fbould the Bill go into aCommittee, there would dnubtle(s be every need:try care that thnfe merchants fbould not be injured. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought, that as it was confeufed that there was an error in the prefent AO, there ought to be a means aff .rded for reeifying it t he therefore was for the committal of the Bill, and hoped his Noble Friend (Lord A. Hamilton), would withdraw his amend ment. After a few words from Mr. ROSE and Sir JOHN NEWPORT, the amendment and the original mr.tion were both withdrawn. The Bill was then read aad time, and ordered to be committed on Thurfday. The other orders of the day were then difpored uf, and the Houfe adjourned. LONDON.

Pit Mr. Thar ar's Eltelion Treating Bill was yeller. day thrown nut of the Houfe of Commons. Lord FINNIT POTTY moved an additinn of to per cont. on the Miffed Taxes, to fopply the deficiency created in the Ways and Means of the year, by the thandanment of the Iron Tax, and fubfequently of .he Tax on Private Brewing. With this he coupled r relict for portons having large families, and (mall ncomes, which relief confiiks in a deduction of fr ur per cent. for each child, and is to be applicable for all children above two (in proportion) to perfons paying Mrelred Taxes wider the amount of 401. a year. According to the returns of the To Office, this relief will extend to all incomes under toool. a year, and to many between wool. and aoool. The permanency and the convenience of this mode of allowing the exemptions were the reafons Ratel by the Noble Lord.for bringing it forward as a feparate meafure, rather than attaching it to the Property Tax AQ itfelf. A heavy firing was heard all day yeller,iy at I Dover, apparently from the oppofite coati. hut the weather was too hazy for the inhabitants t , ) fee sterols, and no veffel had arrived when the letters left Dover with any intelligence which afcertained the caufe of this firing. FOREIGN JOURNALS. We have received Paris Journals to the IR, and Dutch to the sth intl. alto the Hamhnrgh papers, which the Mail due on Wednefday lall drould have brought. The Mailers of the Both ult. contains a very long account of a tri►ial engagement between the French and Ruffians in one of the Wands (Leifina), in the , Adriatic. The affair, even according to the French reprefentation of it, was not very di(graceful to the Ruffian arms, bat we have no doubt that it i• much ersggerated. 'We think it likely that the Ruffians, teeing the poll where the enemy were intrenched too hong to be attacked, determined upon a retreat, and that they might have been harraffed a good deal in returning to their (hips. It is clear, however, from this intelligence, that no idea was entertained by the Ruffians, fo late as the end of April, that they were about to evacuate Dalmatia. The iflands of Procida and Ifchia, lying between Gaeta and the Bay of Naples, have, it is (Fated, been attacked by a Britifh lquadron, without fuccefs. They have had better fortune, we hope, in an enterm ;de of a fimilar nature, againft Capri, an ifland at the en• trance of the Gulph of Naples, which they attacked on the night of the s ith ulr. King Jossrn's armies are every where dicarmirg the people, a proof of the truth of his boafted car,S• dente in their loyalty ! The circumftance of Anfpach Rill continuing in poffeffion of the French, gave taile, on the cominent, to hopes of peace between France and England.— Thefe hopes were firengthened ally by the delay, on our fide, in granting Letters of Marque and Reprifah againft Prufflan goods and veffels. General ANDIEOISI, as we announced on Savor day, has returned to Vienna. Upon his arrival at Munich, on his way to Paris, he found frcla inaruc• tions, enjoining him to return immediately to the Auflrian capital, where he arrived on the zoth ult. The nephew of TA LLLLL •ND reached that city about the fame time, with difpatches for the Freud, Mi. niter at that Court. What can have given eccalion to this uncommon diplomatic activity His France any farther demands to make on Audi is ? or does the confider the important pledges in her hands as not, • ,lhficiant fecurities for the Gneetity and ftibmiton of the latter ? A letter from Ratilbnn hates, that no intelligeoce ache *dual evacuation of Cattaro was expeaed in that city before the middle of the prefent month. Gaeta continues to snake an obftinate defence ; neither the cannonading, nor the bombardment of the enemy, have produced any •ifible ere& upon the winks. The garrifon is finall—not, it is Paid, amounting to two thonfand men in the whole—but fully competent to the maintenance of this port, now become one of great importance. The few men who, three months ago, under the command of ah Irifh officer, took poffeffion of Citi• tells del Fronto, continue to make as determined a refidance as the garrifon of Gaeta. AMERICA. The Well American Journals received in tows, are the New York to the 9th, and Bolton to the I 3th ult.—The unfortunate accident of the death of JOHN Pisacs continues to agitate the public mind its the United States. The PILOSIMNT has iffued a Procla mation, in which he fays that Captain Wurrav did "commit a murder on the body of Joon Pince, a citizen of the United States, then poetising his lawful vocations, within the fame waters and juris dittion of the United Stat es, and near to their (bores," he therefore calls upon all perfona whatfoever, to arreß Captain Worm, that he may be proceeded againft according to law. All !hips commanded by Captain Warm., of the Leander, Captain NAIRIItp of the Cambrian, and Captain SIMPSON, of the Dri ver, are interdiaed from entering the harbours and waters of the United States ; all perfons are prohi bited from (brain:lag them with fupplies of any kind, and all Pilots are prohibited fromaffilling them. The turn which this affair has taken. items to have added to the confidence of the French patty in Ame rica, who indulge in every kind of invellive againft this country. The Antigallicans however are not filent. In many of the papers we find articles under fuch titles as thefe—" French outrage"—" French cruelty"—" French piracy," &c. containing ac counts of American vetch having been robbed and plundered at Tea by French armed (hips. In the violence of parties which has been difplayed on this occafion, the Federalifts are the molt intempe rate. Mr. RUFUS KING, foimerly Minifter here. has dißinguillect Itimfi.ll in the Meetings at New York, and the Refulutions about the death of Fleece. This can only be afcribed to the elections going on, where the two parties are forced to bid againft each other at the auction of popularity. Some think the Prell dent's Proclamation unmeaning and nugatory. and are for a declaration of war. The moll moderate, however, ezpe& that when the mat-ter is fairly and temperately Rated to the Britifh Government, redrefs will be obtained. The people of New York have applied for frigates to protat them, brit it is well known the G.vern• meet have none to give them. The LIAMPIat which had gone to Halifax for fupplies, failed from thence on the at a of May to refume her Ratiirn off New York. It was thought that Congrefs would be fommoned to meet in July. The George, Irvin, from Africa, arrived at Charleftoil on the nth of April ; which place fhe left on the 33d of March.

On Sunday afternoon a defperate affray took place between a number of Ira labourers and Tome Ame rican feamen (belonging to (hips in the Llndun Docks) in the Brhadway adjoining the Docks.—The quarrel originated between an American and an Ira man, refpedting a woman of the town. A. battle en fued, and the friflunan having got the worn, went away,. and returned in :he rout& of an hour (about five o'clock), with a flrong reinforcement of his cont. trymcn, armed with iiroomftick., bludgeons, pokers, &c. which they brandifhed, and with violent impreca. lions, dared the ranker:, as they termed them, to the fight. The Americans, who were nuttier nit, affernbled in a body for their own protelion, init did not attempt to commit or provoke any breach of the peace. Their, forbearance, however, only tended to render the Irifhmen more furious, and they (hewed every difpofition to commence an attack.— Some of the Americans, induced by the threatening afpeet of affairs, procured from on board a few area. pnnd, but not diffident to arm the whole. This was taken by the Sons of St. Patrick for a challenge, and they inftantly made a ferocinus attack• rn the A nit deans, who defended Mcmfeires houtly, but wale defeated in the end, with broken heads, legs, dir. after a ma revere and bloody cornea. Upwates of twenty Americans were wonnd.d, lie of them 10 dangeroufly, that they were obliged to be carried rif the ground. A young man had his fkull traent et], and lies without hopes of recovery a' the White Hart, Neptune Street ; one had both hid legs broken, and was taken to the London Hofpital : another had elle leg broken, and is by no means free fr-m danger. An American Captain is, we underhand, among there moll hint in the affray. The fuccefs of the frith made them quite outra geous; after the refolt of the battle was known, reinforcements were con- Randy arriving, who enliiied under the banners of Murtoch Sullivan, the reputed leader. They hoifled their hats on their weapons, and vociferated loudly, " Liberty and Vinegar Hill for ever." • The commotion excited a general alarm, and no. tice of the proceedings was tranfmitted to the Police Office in that diflrift, when Sir D. WILLIAMS, Mr. Matra, and other Magiltrates airembled, with a large poffe of conliables and police officer*, and re paired to the (pot, where the lioters•were hill para ding in great numbers. About 40 of the molt naive were apprehended, and lodged in the feveral watch !mules in the vicinity of Tower Hill. Cuafds from the Volunteer Corps in the dihria were placed over them all night. Yeflerday morning they were efcorted to Lambert flreet Office, where they underwent an examination. About is of the wounded Americans (all who were able) attended to give evidence. Oz invefligation, it appeared that the Irifhmen were the aggreffors ; 23, out of the 40 brought up for examination, were clearly identified to have taken an adive part ; ts of theft were fully committed for trial, and eight, who had been left violent, were fent on hoard the tender. A woman, who was identified among the crowdlm the nuffide of the Office, as the perfon who gave an Irifhmen, at the time of the conflA, a clafp knife for a weapon, was taken into cultody, examined, and fully committed. Before the American feamen were fuffcred In de part the Court, one of the Magiiit aces called their at tention to a few words he had to fay. He reminded them of a riot which took place f• me time ago, in the neighbourhood of Wapping, in which Come American • Icemen were principal afters. On that . ceafion, the Americans were found culpable, and punifbed accord ingly. He did not mean to fay, that any of that pre. fent V , ere c oncet ned, but he wifhed to impede upon their minds that the laws of this country were equally.ad miniiiercd to perfons of all nations. The Americana wet in this intiance the injured parties, and jollies Ihould be done them. He w.s happy to fay, that from all that appeared, the Americans had condulted theinkives in this unpleafant affair.
