Mr. Su IR, DA N %Tithed to Rik a queltion or his Majefty'sM ini- Rers, none of whom happened to be then in their places, whether any loch meafure as the foregoing, was in their contemplation on behalf of the families of Irithmen whether in the Militia or Army. He mentioned feveral cafes of fifties of the families of unfortu nate men of that part of the United Kingdom, who had loft their lives in defence of their country, and thought it fo highly necefihry, that lona means of relieving their famine , in future mould be Ina mediately provided, that if it was not the intention of Governmewt to bring forward a meanie of that kind, be should think it a duty Incumbent on himfelf to do In. Mr. ALL ZA NDE laid, that in the abfence of the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland, be could only fay, the matter had been men tioned ydterday, and that Right Hots. Gentleman had allured the Houle of the anxiety or the Government to do all in its power to forward fueh a meaftire, but that it was found to be a matter of iconfiderable difficulty. Mr. Su ea LOAN fail, he did not know the matter had been men tioned, *thaw& he mould not have taken notice o. it at that time. Here the converfation ended.

On the Order of the Day being read for the Houle to refutes itrelf into a Committee of Supply, The Cu A NCI ILOR Of the Excueojtua moved, that the accounts laid on the table by Mr. Vanfittart, and alfo the accounts from the Eaft India Company, be referred to thefaid Committee. Ordered. HIS NAJIISTY'S MISSAGS. Lord HAVIISSBUILY appeared at the Bar, and an nounced a Idell'age from his Malta)+, which being brought up, was read by the Speaker.—lt was lite rally the fame as that delivered by Lord Pacnais, in the Houfe of Lords, the copy of which will be found in our London News. Lord HAWLESSUILY then moved, " That an humble Addrefs be prefented to his Majority, to re turn his M..jefty the thanks of this Hoofc for his molt videos Menge, which affords a beat proof of his Ma)efty't increafing fo &hock for the (enmity and etendal interefts of his people.* The Addrefs was agreed to wen. con. and Ordered, - That the laid Addrefs be prefented to his Majefty, by fuck Members of this Houle as are of his Majeity's 1110 a. ho nourable Privy Council?'

The CHANCELLOR of the Exca lacy Ea replied in the affirmative, and added, the remainder was not intended to be defrayed till the neat Seffion. To a like queftion from the fame Gentleman, re. fpefling American claimants, he alto anfwered, that the fum voted this night did not yet liquidate their demands. The Refolutions being then carried, the Report was ordered to be brought up tomorrow. •DDITION•L CIILTOM6. The CHATICILLOIL of the Excitaosee moved the Order of the Day for the Houk to refolve itfelf into a Committee on the Additional Cuftom Duty On the queftion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, General GASCOVN s role to object to it. He Paid, he was as fully impreffed with the necelfity of railing taxes, and fubmitting to facrifices, as any other Mem ber could be ; but, in duty to his Conftituents,he muff oppofe a certain part of this Bill; the Duty on Sugars. It was no proof, he Paid, that, becaufe his Conliitu ents were able to pay thofe duties doting the Pate war, they were able to_ do k now. In 1793, the Weft India Merchants of Liverpool were under the necetE ty of applying to Parliament for relief, which was granted. In 1795 they did the fame ; and he was Corry to fay, they mull loon do fo again ; and all tl,efe applications were for relief againft the old duties, and to enable them to rapport the fame, whilft the Houfe was going to lay on new duties. He Willed it was a lofing trade. He did not afk for any exemption or diminution of the duty, but only a fufpenfion of it, till Tome ontport on the Continent Ihould be open to us. At prefent we had not one ,• and therefore could have no export. He contended alto, that every in created duty mull decreafe the confomption, betides the additional duty on tea muff decreafe the confump lion of fugar. That the traders in Liverpool were not like thole in London, agents who receive their profits on what they' difpofe of ; they were in the fame fitua lion as the Planters, participated in the misfortunes of the Iflands, and purchafed their goods on their own account and rille ; this had been done on en couragements dropped from time to time by the Chancel!.- of the Exchequer as to the continuance of Peace. He laid, that while Parliament was laying on 4.5. a cwt. duty on fugar, it was falling in price to the fame amount ; and if the duties were continued to be fo laid on, thofe concerned in the trade mutt with draw from it. He asked, if it was of no confequence that we were excluded from Hamburgh, Bremen, and all the ports on the Continent ? He did not blame Minifters for this, but they ought to confider whether they can remedy it. That if next crops came fafe, they would be the ruin of the Houfes con cerned in them, who having no market for them by export, would not be able to meet the bills that would accompany them. He allured the Houfe he was not inftigated by thole who are fo much interefled, to take the part he now did; for his Conftituents could not have known it, fo as to apply to him for the purpofe; he did it as an ad of duty, which he thought he owed them. He repeated, that he neither alked for exemp tion nor diminution, but only a rufpenfion. He there fore moved, 4 That it be an inftrudion to the Com mitter. to infert a claufe in the Bill, to empower his Majelly's Council to rufpend the Paid Duties on Sugar whenever, and for fuch period of time as it thould ap pear to them necefrary fo to do." The S informed the Houfe, that he was of opinion the Motion was neither regular nor neceffary. The Committee was the proper place for fuch a mo tion, and therefore it was irregular ; and, if irregu lar, it mutt be unneceffary. The Coasts ewe of the Excitsoyea fupported this opinion, and the Houfe immediately went into the Committee, Mr. Ai-axonal" in the Chair. General Gascovar then moved a claufe to the fame effeEt. On the queftion that the claufe be read a fecond rime, _ _ . Mr. VANSITTART role, and denied the affertions of the Hon. General as to the home confumption, and intifted, that, notwithßanding the duties, the con famption duriog the left war increafed no let's than 700,000 cwu. It was the fame as to the exports; for we are not now excluded from any ports on the Continent, from which we were not (hut nut during Taft war, except Hansburgh : and it is remarkable, that in the year during which we were excluded from that port, our exports were far greater than during any other year of the war. The Hon. General had laid, that the imports of Sugars were encouraged by the affertions of Minitiers relative to Peace ; but this he denied, and (aid, Minifters had uniformly cau tioned the public as to the pollible danger of raking too mulch on that (peculation. General TAILLTUN Paid, that taxes mull be im poled, and the country fupported. If at any time he fhould receive infiruilions from his conftituents on any fubjee, he thould be happy to obey them, if con fonant to his own opinion; but his conftituents had returned him free, and he hoped he thould always aft on the fame principles. Look, laid he, t• any pe riod i.l ten years during the Taft century, and you will find that, both in Peace and War, the town of I,.iverpool has increa'id in opilence, population, and confequence; and he believed, that if his Honourable Colleague would leave the inhabitants to follow their own fpeculations in regard to trade and commerce, they will hill be found as forware in advancing the commerce of their town, and the intereft of the na tion in general, and would as cheerfully pay the taxes they thould be liable to be charged with, as any other part of this country. General Gascovaa faid, it would have been more for the credit of the Right Hon. Gentleman, if he ' had made flikpropofition boomer. At the time the Houk was called on firft to agree to this duty, they were left in total ignarance of a faa then known to ' Minillers, and which Once came out, namely, that there WA• no: a Ingle port open to the trade of this country on the Continent of Europe ;—apd the chum-.l,:i.cattea to the mercantile interefts on this tip::, was by .. frigate, Rationed at the mouth of the Elbe, • hich warned the &hint flips, laden fug.ir, and . pproaching that river, not to enter, AS they wuald ..crtair,ly fall into the hands Of the enemy; ;nd thus thole ihips, with their Cargoes, were fent back to this country, with thofe very cargoes which were purchafes under the affurance of per. manent peace, given by the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Hon. Gentleman (peaks of the profits arifing to Liverpool from the prefent war is but a fhort month fince it has commenced :—how then was a cri terion to be formed for fuch a coitclution, An Hon. General, too (his Hon. friend) had talked generally of the improvement of the town and trade of Liver pool no argument he had ufed could be conftrued Into a denial of that general profperity ; but he (Gen. Garcoyne) was fpeaking of a particular branch of trade, namely, the WeR Indian; his only object was, not to evade, but only to fufpend the duty, and he hardly thought the Hon. General would be bold ensugh to deny that the merchants of Liverpool wifhed for fuch a fufpenfion. The Hon. General had defired him to leve the merchants of Liverpool to themfelves ; this, indeed, had been pretty much the lradice of the Hen. General hitnfelf ; but, melancho y indeed was the profped, if the Atence of the Trea. fury Bench was to to be taken for their opinion upon the &Ned. He did think that Come relief would be thought necetlary to thofe now Reacting on the brink of ruin. _ _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the Excli acting faid, that no fuch inference as that drawn by the Hon. Member was to be fairly founded on the condo& cf his Ma jefty's Miniflers ; namely, that no communication whatever was to be opened for the trade of this coun try in any of the ports of the Continent. It would be difficult, indeed, for either power or ingenuity to prevent the commodity in queffion from finding its way into the Continent, of which this country held a monopoly, and which there as well as here was be come a neceffary of life. But if reference was had to the actual price of (mars at this moment, compara tively with that which they bore immediately before the war; if it was confidered that the article had rifen from 335. to 475. per cwt. fence the commence ment of hbftilities, it was a pretty ftrong proof the article (offered no deterioration in price in conk quence of the war. The Hon. Member, therefore, on this ground, muft admit that his conflituents were in a better fituation than they were fix weeks ago.— With fo much a higher price, and no dimini(hed con fumption in this country; with a large drawback upon exportation. and with a total monopoly of the trade in Britilh hands, he could fee no ground for apprehenfion either to the Weft India Merchants or any other (et of men concerned in that trade. So far from the additional duty of as. being an exorbi tant impoft, in the circumftances of the country. many judicious perfons, will converfant in the trade, were of opinion, that it would well have borne a duty of 3s. more; which it was, however, not his intention to propofe, though, had it not been for fome calami ties which the Weft India trade bad of late fuffered, he fhould have been difpofed to lay on a duty of 6s, inftead of as. Sir W. Po many thought the argument of Mr. Vanfittart was conciufive, if exportation ihould con tinue ; but the drawback was no fecurity for that.— If exportation did not continue, the price of fugar mull fall at home. Mr. &ilium fpoke for the claufe, and Sir W. Yoove againa Sir WiLLIAN Yount; thought the whole fyllem of the new taxes propofed by the Minifter extremely fair and impartial; and he himfelf, as a perfon con cerned in Well India property, cheerfully acquiefced in the prefent tax ' and thought it could not fairly be i complained of by the Britith merchant ; as, in fait, the Well India planter mutt be the principal fulerer. General GASCOYIII did not with to take his Ho- nourable Friend from his military duty. On the COQ. trary, he thought that his fervices in. the field wet c infinitely of more importance than 'n that Houfe. At the fame time, he did not with to kave the people of Liverpool to the chapter of accidents, as the Hon. General feemed inclined to do. General TaaLarom put it to the feelings of the Ho nourable General himfelf, whether he did not think it honourable to follow the duties of his profeffion ? The Cmaticatioa of the Exce Kyle declared that it was nneontlitutional to veil a difpenfing power, asto 1 the operation of an AR of Parliament, any where. Mr. EVAN BA ttitefaid, that fugar might be,bonded ; and, if we did not now agree to the tax, he thought it moll probable that we mull in a fubfecpsent year ; he therefore thought we might as well fubmit to it at once. Mr. Deux Paid, that a report which was in circu lation this morning, and which he feared was true, had excited a confiderable degree of alarm among the merchants. The dearnefs of fugar, he thought, was not a fit criterion to judge of taxation by. He thought it much more our duty to confider the Rate of the Country. He knew it was not right to hold out defponding language to the people, though the fi tuation of the country was certainly deplorable enough. Mr. jonarroas obferved that, by a Convention among the Northern Powers, they might fend (hips dire& from the Weft Indies to their own ports, there land their fugar, and fo make it neutral, and then fend it all over Europe. The Americans too might injure our trade confiderably. The port of Hamburgh was alfo reported to be flint againft us. It therefore ap peared to him not advifeable to lay on a heavy ad ditional duty at a time when there was a probability of fuels obfiruetions to commerce; and when there wu fuch ground for alarm among the mercaatile pan of the country. The Cantett.t.oa pf the Excingy ea thought, that the arguments of Gentlemen appeared to him to be founded muse on fpeculations in trade, than in the deduelions of found reafoninig. It did not appear to him that the difficulties to which they alluded would be at all aggravated by the circumaince of the Houfe agreeing to an additional duty. Neither could be think it altogether right, at the prefent conjundure of public affairs, for Honourable Members to mention unfavourable reports in that Houle on the foundation of a mere report, and when there was no document or authority before the Houk to that effeB. For his part he knew of no filch event having taken place as the Honourable Centkrnen had alluded to. After a converfation of confiderable length the Hossottrabla Member contented to withdraw his mo tioo; ott the fuggeßion of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer th i at t was an unconnitutit nal meafure, de claring that it was not his inclination to place greater confidence any where than was confißent with the principles of the Con dilation of the country.

The following is a Copy of the Communication made to the Batavian Government refined to in the above Meirage STATE PAPER. HAGIUT, Jana 8.- 7 -The following nom was pr* fenced on the 24th of latt month to Citizen Van dor Goes, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, by Mr. LISTON. the Englilh Envoy : 4 , Sir—By orders from my Court, I take the libertr of requefting th,at you will be pleated to fubmit to the BatavianGovernment the followingconfiderationt. The Ramo is animated with the liveließ deftre to pras vent the new war, which is about to break out, from extending to Countries which have had connetftiona with France, and from involving in its calamities Nations which have taken no part in the events gut have given rife to it. His Monery, however, can. not obferve towards the Batavian Republic that cOat duet which fuch fentiments would dißate, unlefs thtr French Government be dillsofed to adopt a fyftem. If France will confent to immediately with. draw its troops from the territory of the Republic I if it will exonerate the Batavian Governmeht frogs the obligation of furnifhing it with any kffiflancp either by land or by lea ; in a word, if it will permit the Republic to obferve a fincere and pyry feet Neutrality during the courfe of the war, His MAJIISTY will engage on his part, to adhere with fcrupulous exaanefs to a reciprocal neutrality a and in that cafe, the (hips which may be provifon. ally detained, null be immediately releafed e r- ? But filould the Flair Cowsui. unfortunately perfiß wifhing to occupy the Batavian territory, and to convert the refources of the country into means of hoftility, and attack againft Great Britain, his M4' Jassy will find himfelf compelled by the duty he owes to the farm of his Rates, and to the drama intyreas of his people, to have recourfe to thole wear" which Pao/mance has put in his power to fruftrato the defigns of his enemies. To conclude, it will be with fentiments of the moll profound grief, that his MaitlTY will fee the Batavian Government drat ged into a war, which mull be as little agreeable to its intentions as to thofy of Ms Moneys." To the information conveyed in the above dome menu, we have only to add, that the Dutch kept defined to endure; Rate of degradation and mifery from which they can never extricate themfelvese while 0 , the brazen Coloffus, at the feet of which 41 Europe depofited their arms," flail continue to Rand upon its feet.
