The Duke of BEDFORD was expefted to take the Chair, but not attending, Mr. For filled it in his abfence.— After the ulual toads were drank, the health of Mr. Fox was given, and drank with 'great applaufe. Mr. Fox returned thanks in a ihort fpeech, in which he took an opportunity to advert to the Meflage from his Majedy,delivered to both mottles of Parliament. He avowed himfelf a Ready friend of Peace, and pledged himfelf, as far as was con fident with the honour and fecurity of the country, 1 to prevent the renewal of hollifities with France. After tome other totals were drank, Mr. Fox propofed the health of Dr. Pau. He ptefaced it with a fhort fpeech, in which he dated, that he retie/led with pleafure, that at all periods there had been found men of talents and great learning advocates for the principles of libery. Of this defcription he ennfidered Dr. Pass, and he was, therefore, confident the health of that Gen tleman would be drank with great pleafure. DoQor Pass, in returning thanks, Paid, that no 1 allurements had ever induced him to lofe fight of 1 the principles of that. Club ; and that it would be a confolatton to him, during the remainder of his life, and in the hour of his heath, that he never bad fwerved from thofe principles which he con& dered Olindal to the liberty of his country, and the prefervation of the Conftitution. The Knits intended going to Key yellerday, but on account of the feventy of the weather, his Ittaissvir did not leave the Qt_teen's Houk. in the evening their MAJesrlre had a Concert at the Que;n's Houfe, and a facet party.

NOTTIIIGHAMCOMMITTEE, MARCII B—The pro ceedings of this day were dininguithed by the corn mitting to the cunody of the Serjeant at Arms of Mr. F— 5--, a tradefman of confiderable ie fpefiability, and, is we underftand, of very large property in the town of Nottingham, for prevari cating in his evidence before the Committee. He was examines to a variety of very important and material fatts,but the aniwers to the qualions put to him were altogether incontinent and contradic tory. The Committee &fired the whole of the evidence leo be read over by Mr: Goat: ay, the Short-hand-writer for the Houfe of Commons.— At particular paffages the Chairman earneilly re commended the witnefs to correet and explain what Ire had fwoin. It seas not the with of the Com ;Once to entrap him—but rather to allow him full time to recollect himfelf. The witnefs, however, perfifted in the truth of what he had (worn. The Committee determined to adjourn in order to decide upon the teftimony he had given, and in the mean time he was dented not to leave the Court. The Court retired for about half an hour, and on the return of the Committee, the Chairman, (I. H. Bsown e, Etq.) addrefed the witnefs in there terms :—" Mr. I am very lorry I am not commiffioned to give you an admonition alone, fevere as that admonition mutt have been ; but the Committee have resolved, that you- have wilfully prevaricated in your evidence ; that it ihould be reported to the Houfe ; and that you should be immediately taken into euttody by the Serjeant at Arms. It is fo very material, the delivering of true, continent, and good evidence, before a Committee; and the crime of calling Goo to withers that which cannot be truth, is fo great and heinous, that it is abfolutely neceffary to come to a fevere refolution. The Committee have acted on the impreflion your evidence has made on their minds, without any knowledge of your charther and life. Believing that yon are in a fittration, the confiderationof which would have been favourable to you, it, however, thinks that your charaCter, rank, and Ration in Society, render your offence infinitely more aggravated. I fpeak this merely of my own accords all that I am commi&oned to do is, as Chairman of the Committee, and by the • authority of the Committee, to commit your perfon to the cntiody of the Serjeant at Arms." Mr. Clemeatfou, the Serjeant at Arms, was fent far, but as he was attending the Speaker, he could not coma; Le therefore deputed Mr. font., the Meffenger, who was ordered to take charge of the witnefs. Mr. Jones raid it was neeeffary for hint to have an order from the Committee; upon which the tc.llowing refolution was entered on the minutes by te Short-hand Writer, and a Copy _delivered tot t'..e Me Irenger. Reinidei—That F— S—. the witnefe, has been guilty of wilful prerar.eation in his evidence before the Cenunittis, and that he be committed to the cultody of the bajeatit at Arms." The witnefs was taken out of Court dy the Mef• itnger, and the Chairman afterwards proceeded to the Houle of Commons, to make his report of the eircumflanccs. Refped far the Committee, and delicacy towards the individual, prevent us from mentioning the name, or the fide for which he was produced.

" The nomination, by Governor LECL F RC, Of ROCH A 1‘111E•U, to fucceed him, certified by his Aid-de-Camp, is now explained by the complete and entire dete&ion of a curious fpecim,:n of French Loyalty, Interity, and Policy. "General Duo us was fecond in command to LECLERC, and was in truth the real Commander in Chief, being high in the confidence of BON A. FARTS, who was much attached to him in Egypt, and fent him out as Adjutant-General to St. Do mingo. This man had, from the similarity of Ja. cobin Principles, attached to hi m fell General Hest • RT, who commanded in 1799, the troops landed in Ireland, and a few days betoreLFCLEac's death, it was difcovered that thefc two hanour•abl.• men had received very large firms of money from CHRIS- T() pH E and DEssatimrs (the Black Generals who had deferred from the Cape to their brethren in the mountains) for confiderable inpplies of powder, mufquets,lead,and clothing, which Duo Ira had un der different pretences, ordered forward to polls in the mountains, which Hu sr at ar and he abandoned to the Blacks. They were paid in money and plate plundered from the planters ; and it was through Tome intelligent perfons of that defcription, that this treachery was difcovered. LEC L tac's nomitia Lion of Rocwastssau (hewed to DUGUA and Hymnal-, that they were deteeted. They both took opium, and deftroyed themfelves. The fum is Rated to be 14.,000 livres, and the condition, that they should be placed at the head of the Black Republic. ag The diftrefs of the planters, now all enrolled as militia, is beyond all imagination. All property, in money and Flores, as well French as American, is put int- zquifition, and the ports, which had been filled with American veffels, loaded with provi. lions, on (peculation, are now quite empty. Bills drawn by LECLERC'S Commiffaries for fupplies, are now returned from Jamaica and New York, pro teßed to an immenfe amount, which, of course, has clofed all the Jamaica (tore houfex againft them. M. Da NOAILLES, a Chef de Brigade, much in the confidence of ROCHAMSEAU, came to Port Royal the lafk week in December, to open a loan, or in other words, toborrow money from our merchants to the amount of a million of livres, by bills, which he propofed to negotiate for dollars at the Ha vannah. He offered the profit of 22 per cent. but was not able to raife (=Aiding. ROCHAMBEAV had received 3700 men from France, but *was Rill on the defensive. The fol. diers were chiefly Italians and Germans of the worn fort; and it was announced, that the foe cours that would be fent were to be recruits for the regiments at St. Domingo ; but no entire corps, Pave a Polifh Legion from Italy, and a Belgic Legion from Holland, the old French corps &vat; refifid to embark" If this raft affection Ise true-end, from the very rtfpcdtable fource we have received it, there is no caufe to challenge ksve racity—all tbe garconade in the Moniteur about the 60,c00 Vtlarn. two who offered their Cervices to St.Domingo.is idle and falla cious. It would be madnefs, indeed, for men. who formerly dif dnguiftied themfdves on the molt trying occatigos, and now enjoy the reward of domeftic collision. in the bafom of their friends, to precipitate thengelves in their grars. Yefterday a Court of Directors or the Eaft In dia Company was held at the India Houle, when Lieutenant Colonel WILLIAM LANE was introdue eel, and took the ufual oaths on being appoir.tei Lieutenant Governor of the ifland of St. Helena. The Court adjourned to this day. Mrs. Errs N lets out from Edinburgh nest week. for the purpofe of refuming her fituation in Co. vent Garden Theatre. where the is engaged for the remainder of the feafon on very libefal terms. There was a Grand Concert ai Rochelter on Monday evening. Mils TEMNANT and Mr. Et tior were engaged from. London. After the concert there was a ball, at which about one hun dred couple danced, and they tripped on the light fantaftic toe till a late hour yefierday morning, THY COUNT/SS or CORK'S THIALTKICALLIIIII sight, at her houfe in New Burlington-ftreet, were very fafhionabty attended. The Theatre was formed in the large Ball-room on the .ground floor. All round the flage was ornamented with Tefloons of rotes, interfperfed with variegated lamps very taflefully placed. There were neither boxes nor gallery, but benches riling gradually above each other. The ceiling was ornamented with wreaths of laurel, roles, and lamps, with different fquares of glafs, that refleled admirably, and had a moll delightful effeet. The windows, which looked into the garden (the lattice in the Gothic flyle) flood open ; and the Garden had a moll grand appearance from the great number of lamps with which it was illuminated. Mr. La MIER had the chief part of the management of the Theatre. After feveral entertaining French Proverbs, the Play commenced, (which was The Friar) at ten o'clock. There were three rooms elegantly lighted up for the reception of the Company.one of which was the Supper-room, in which a Cold Supper was laid for eighty perfons. They fat down at two o'clock in the morning.—Mrs. Rioar enter tained the company with a Fong. THE Duna OF BRIDGLWATER.—YeIIerday morn ing departed this life,. his Grace the Duke of BRIDGYWATER, after a Hunt illnefs. He was born May al, 1726, and fueeeeded the late Duke Jones his brother. in the year t 74 and remained nn married. He was the third Duke of BRIDGE wars It. Of thofe illufirions charafters that have done ho. nour to the Britills Peerage, the Duke of BRIDG a waria deferves to be placed in the firft rank. That time and fortune which too many others have devoted to purpnfes, if not injurious to ft:wk ly. at (tall ufclefs, his Grace fpent in purfuits that entitle him to be called the Benefaam of his Country. By his alive fpirit, and his 'Whalen perfeverance, he amaffed immenfe wealth. But the public grew rich with him, and his labours were not more profitable to hi mfelf that they were to his country.—The Dukedom is vain& but the Earldom Of BtACIILSY goes to General Ec salon, Member for Brackley. The return of the late Duke of BRIDGEWATER on the income Tag was t so,oool. per annum, the greater part acquired by his own exertions, and derived from circtuullances of the hishett benefit 'Do his comity. Yeflerdav we received New YJek Fame up to the loth of Fein ex: y. They hi iti,4 nothing hi.in St. Domingo. The affair of L milim.t hill excites much lineation. Mr. Mostini., who is to negotiate the affair with the French Government, was to fail from New York in the beginning of re,ruary. He is authorificl riot only to adjust any p?e:',nt nano. derftanding, but to conclude forme arrangement to prevent any future difpute. Hopes arc enter tained of a eatisfatflory adjullment, though fome of the violent fpirits propufe nothirg leis than feizing upon Honduras and Louitiana, and then negotiating with France. In the anfwer of the Senate to the fpeech of the Prefidcnt, is the follossing paffage " We arc happy to find, tvitwithflanditz the unwarrantable co• dad of the sparifh Intendant at N w Orleans, to prevent the f of the Mi1.f11;„•i. that „Alt:auk of complaint iU proh.bly he ranoeLd by wile and temperate meafun s on tlie p.rt sr the Executive if the bat it we lhouel be tliNpiniided in tia.,t refpeet, we la w 4. bighcit con6d•.nce with your Excellency that every ry r• ;oil will be oat! by our Citizens to vindicate our national rights againit any power by which they may be invaded." According to letters from Tenneffee, the eon. dua of the Spanish Government, in (hutting up the port of New Orleans, mull make the merchants of that part of the country bankrupts, and the far mers get nothing for their crops. Although threatened with the heaviell loffes by this violation of treaty, the people feemecirdifpored to remain quiet until they fee what the Government of the United States will do. And (hould Government not refolve to ad promptly and decinvely, the peo ple are determined to arm themfelves, to defcend the river in their boats, and to force all oppoation. In this projed there will be an union of th e p e opl e of Kentucky, the north weftern and Mifflinppi ter ritorics : it is hoped the States will immediately declare war againa Spain : if they do not, they will necelTarily have an inteaine commotion.—The Commercial eldvertifer. NEW YORK, FEB. O.—The brig Jefferfon, Capt. DEAN, has arrived at Wilmington (N.

ADDISON, Efq. was found guilty by the Senate of• the State of Pennfylvania, of the charge prefented againft him by the Houfe of Reprefentatives. Twenty votes were given for declaring him guilty, and foul not guilty. The following is the Sentence prnnon nce d again!!him by the Speaker of the Houfc of Re prefentatives on the fucceeding day, viz.

Letter from the Prefident of the United States to the Governor of Kentnekey Sit—Your favour, of Nov. 30, has bent duly received, The occulfion of the port of New Orleans, by the Spaniards, which is the fubjeß of it, was cakulated to give great alarm throughout the United States, and dpocially the wedeln parts. Information of it was re mired here from New Orleans on the 6th loft. and meafures were taken to bare the proceeding rec tified. We think the evidence tolerably coneitifire that it was not the confequence of soy order from Europe, but aterdy an irregularity of the Intendant. Meafures were immediately put in motion for duly impeding him with the confeguence• of perfeverance ; and the *pandit UMW: here, twang ids entire enoviebon, that the prohibition was nnautliorized, un dertook immediately to ranooftrate to him alpha it, and all* to thfpatch a Letter to the Oovernor-Goneral who it. fides at the Havanaab, to interpok efficacioully and with• out dela .

For the prelate it is the intemil of every part of our Republic to chcrllb peace,and await a friendly ratification of the Injury; and I have no obe, that feting our prefent &nation in a true point of view, you will concur in inculcating a reliance that the government will not be wanting in a juR interference to Ke le:rye the rights of the nation.
