FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MARCH 20. Copy of a Letter from Captain Scott, of his Majesty's ship the Horatio, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated at Sea, February 24, 1810. SIR—I have the pleasure to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, that on the morning of the 21st inst. being in lat. 33. 10. N. and long. 29. 30. W. we discovered a strange ship, and after a long chace and Turning ac tion of one hour (wherein the enemy manifested some determination to defend the ship) captured the French frigate la Necessitee, of a small class, pierced for 40 guns, mounting 28, viz. 22 twelve-pounders, and six 24-pounder carronades, with 186 men, commanded by M. Bernard Bonnie, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, from Brest, bound to the Isle of France, with naval stores and provisions. You will acquaint their Lordships that his Majes ty's ship has not suffered (except a little in her masts and rigging) in this trifling affair ; and that the Offi cers, ship's company, and Royal Marines, behaved to my satisfaction.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) GEORGE SCOTT. Copy of a Letter from Captain Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke, of his Majesty's ship the Christian VIL addressed to Admiral Lord Gambler, and transmitted by his Lordship to John Wilson Croker, Esq. His Majesty's ship Christian VII. In Basque Roads, February 13, 1810. MY Loan—Three vessels, as per margin* being part of a convoy of ten sail, laden with brandy, resin, &c. that sailed last night in thick blowing wea ther, wind W. S. W. from the Charante, bound to the northward, having got on the reef that projects from the point of Chatelaillon, between Aix and Ro chelle, I directed the boats of this squadron, as per margint, to destroy them. This was forthwith at tempted to be executed, when the enemy made a movement to prevent it. Our boats were eight and the enemy's nine ; ours armed in the usual way, theirs more formidable, all of them being gun-boats, carrying a 12-pounder carronade and six swivels, and rowing from 20 to 30 oars. Lieutenant Guion, of this ship, who directed the operations, made a feint of retreating, to decoy the enemy from their shore defences, when suddenly turning on them, they fled. The barge of this ship, in which he was, being the CE..deit. boat, advanced most gallantly along the rear of the enemy's line to their third boat ; but finding from circumstances, the rear boat was the only one likely to be successfully attacked, he boarded and carried her sword in hand. Two others were closely pursued to the he^. h by Lieutenant Roberts of the Armide, and must, from his steady fire within pistol shot have lost men. The gun-boat taken by Lieute nant Guion had two men killed and three wounded ; amongst the latter was her Commander severely.— The vessels alluded to in the margin were then burnt. I am very respectfully, &c. (Signed) JOSEPH S. YORKE. • A Chasse-maree, of 60 tons; ditto, of 40 tons; ditto of 30 tons; fully laden. f Christian VII. 3 boats; Seine, 2 ditto; Armide, 3 ditto.

The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER only desired to kriow the general nature of the infor mation required. However, if the motion referred only to extracts, he would take care to present such as could be laid before the ,House without detriment to the public service. Mr. WHITBREAD agreed to frame the motion according to the Right Honourable Gentleman's idea ; and he therefore moved, that there be laid ' before the House extracts from the instructions to the Marquis Wellesley, upon his departure from this country as Ambassador to Spain.--Ordered. Ordered, on the motion of . Mr. FITZGERALD, that there be laid before the House copies of the fol lowing letters, viz. a letter addressed by Mr. Knighti to Mr. Moore, on the 6th of last August—one from Mr. Moore to Mr. Knight, on the 15th of the same month—with another from the latter to the former, on the same day—together with certain letters froth the Adjutant-General, upon the subject - of the medi cal department on the late Expedition to the Scheldt. Mr. PARNELL moved for a Return of the num ber and the nature of the Civil Offices in Great Bri tain, on the Ist of January 1793, and also upon the Ist of January last, distinguishing the new created in the intermediate period—the time and circumstan ces in which such creations took place.—Ordered. PLACES IN REVERSION. Mr. BANKES rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Places in Reversion. The Honour able Gentleman hoped that he might assume that as a principle. There Was no objection to the Bill : the objections in another place were of a different nature. It would not be necessary for him to state any real sons for the Bill, further than what the House were I already in possession of, who were determined to pursue the same means constitutionally until the , ob ject was accomplished. If therefore any objection MS to be found in.any other place, he should not compromise the principle, in order to meet and satisfy those objections, but should recommend to the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Perceval) as his Ma jesty's confidential servant, to obtain the Royal con sent, and not suffer the prerogative to operate as a preventive to the free discussion and passing of the Bill. With this view, he had altered the wording of the Motion in some measure, not wishing to press it too pertinaciously, and should move— • For leave to bring in a Bill for altering the mode of grant ing such offices as heretofore were graited in Reversion for joint lives and for the benefit of survivorship." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER still retained the same opinion which he held last ses sion. He had never considered it a measure of great importance. The Honourable Gentleman should not find any obstacle from him, but at the same time the idea which he had, and which he should propose in the Committee, was that the Bill should only be operative for a time to be limited ; that was, in his opinion, the more preferable course to be adopted. The SPEAKER observed, that the forms of the House would certainly allow that alteration in the Committee which had been suggested by the Com mander in Chief. Leave was then given ; and Mr. Bankes and Mr. H. Thornton were ordered to prepare and bring in the Bill: MR. IiONTAOUR, Sir C. POLE rose to move for the ,production of certain papers respecting the examinations to be taken on the admission of candidates for commissions , as Lieutenants in the Royal Navy. The Honourable Baronet was induced to move in consequence of the hardship experienced by Mr. Montague, son of Ad miral Montague, who having completed his time of servitude, in order to his being made a Lieutenant, was refused, on the ground that some Orders in Council intervened to prevent him ; the Examiners stating, which was not the fact, that Mr. Montague had one year to serve. Having stated that Mr. M. had received his education at the Naval College and was serving in the Mediterranean, he concluded with moving— " An Address to his Majesty for the instructions contained fa the Orders in Council of December, 1506, relative to the Exa.., mination, and praying that these instructions may be transmitted to every Naval Officer on foreign Stations, and to those persons appointed to examine candidates for Lieutenantcies, &c." Mr. ROBERT WARD could not see any case made out by the Honourable Baronet; he, however, would shortly state the facts upon which the motion was grounded, and which turned upon an inadver tency. Originally an Establishment had been formed for the Education of Young Men, under the name of the Naval College, since termed the Royal College, the term of education was three years. Since that period, however, by Order in Council, the period was fixed at four years, and no person was competent to be made a Lieutenant until he had been four years afloat. In this predicament stood Mr. Montague ; that subsequent to the alteration in the Orders in Council his term of servitude expired, and he became entitled to his Lieutenantcy ; but upon being examin ed it was discovered that according to the last Orders L he had one year to serve. A memorial was presented by Admiral Montague to the Lords of the A dmi. ;inky on behalf of his son, and as the case- was a hard one, and involved a question of law, it was referred for opinion to the Counsel to the Board of Admiralty ; the opinion given by the Counsel was, , that the law was against Mr. Montague, for that the new Orders had abrogated the old ones, upon which Mr. Montague was entitled to claim his commission. It was however intended that when the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown were taken on the subject not to prejudice Mr. Montague, but to allow him to take his seniority from the date of his application. Admiral MARKHAM thought that there must be some strange carelessness in the conduct of the Admiralty, when one officer could be thrown back, as Mr. Montague had been, and another, like Mr. Jenkinson, passed on the 3d of December, and made a Lieutenant on the 11th. The conduct of Lord Mulgrave to Admiral Montague looked pointe4 after what had passed betwecn them, and it hhd tem, made the topic of much conversation out of doork. When Lord Barham was going out, he established the new code. What was then the meaning of say ing that it was not in force till 1808 ? Was it not known, that in this instance, Lord Mulgrave, not a - - professional man, differed from the whole Board of Admiralty ? Some reparation to Mr. Montague was necessary; but the resource of antedating his com mission was a most dangerous precedent. Cases had occurred where this was the proposed remedy ; but Sir Philip Stephens, a high authority in such matters, always resisted it. Mr. R. WARD said, that if the motion were pres• sed, he must move the previous question. Mr. CROKER vindicated the conduct of the Ad. miralty, and denied that there was in any parson be longing to that Board any disposition of hostility to wards Admiral Montanus,. We (said Mr. Croker). b referred his case to our Counsel, Mr. Jervis, his opi. nion was against the claims of Admiral Montague.— We then (continued Mr. Croker) called upon, the gal lant Adminil to furnish as with his own statement of his own case, drawn up by his own hand ; the gal. lant Admiral did so. The last statement given. in was referred by us to the Attorney and Solicitor Ge neral ; their opinion was in favour of the young man's time. Gentlemen then must see that it could be .t question of no ordinary difficulty when three Coun:iel of such great professional authority differed upon it: merits. We (said Mr. C.) did not think fit to decide upon it ourselves, not being - all of us professional men. Some of us were, to be sure, more immediately cones necteci with the navy as a profession than others.. of us were—we mere not all lawyers, and therefore we thought it expedient to refer the case o legal opi nion. A gallant Admiral (Markham) opposite to me (observed Mr.. Croker) has thrown out a broad insinuation, as if all the professional Lords of tLe Admiralty differed generally from the opinions of the Eiist Lord. The gallant Admiral had even asked me if I could deny it ? I . do deny it ; and this I take to be a sufficient answer to the question put to me by the gallant Admiral. The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded at some length to contend with great warmt4 that they, the Admiralty, were well disposed towards Admiral Montague, and well inclined to grant him every favour they could. There was not a parson at the Board that did not feel so disposed to wards the gallant Admiral. Mr. WHITBREAD was rather surprised at the liveliness with which the Honourable Secretary to the Admiralty took up the speech of his Honourable Friend (Admiral Markham). He expected it to have warmed him into a vigorous opposition ; but could not express his pleasure at finding him gradually sub siding into a meek and most complying suavity. In the course of his peroration against the Admiral, he (Mr. Croker) had slipped out the pleasant confession, that Captains were not Lawyers. 4 , No, Sir, (said Mr. Whitbread) thank HEAVEN, we are not so badly off yet; we have our Statesmen, our Orators, all Lawyers; nay, our Admiralty Secretary must be a lawyer too ; yet he has his merits ; he will not overlook hiring merit; for he manufactured my. old friend Major Cartwright into a Post Captain after he had given up his trade forty . years. The Secre tary does honour to even the dead ; to whom, in the spirit of his posthumous promotions, he has given a new rank—he, Sir, I say, for the whole weight of the Admiralty seems, by his own account, to rest on the shoulders of this bustling personage, who couples himself with its Members by the monosyllable we, with ridiculous familiarity; and then comes down to tell us in the dialect with which he has the perpe tual art of raising a laugh, that his mighty move ments are too deep for parsons who are not profes sional men," Admiral MARKHAM would only recommend it to the gecretary to the Admiralty, not to put him self into too violent a passion. Mr. CROKER replied, that he was for a long time at a loss to make out what the Honourable Gentle man meant by imputing to him language that had never fallen from him, but he now found that the object of the Honourable Gentleman was to make a Ijoie, and therefore he must forgive him, though the joke . was not, after all., a very good one. At the same time he must request of that Honourable Gen tleman, the next time he intended to make jokes, not to ground them upon misrepresentations of what had been said by him (Mr. Croker.) After some further conversation between Admiral Markham, the Attorney-General, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Taylor, Sir Charles Pole agreed to withdraw his motion for the present, on an understanding that the required accommodation would take place. SCHELDT EXPEDITION. Mr. BRADSHAW, after a short conversation with Mr. Se cretary Ryder, changed his motion for this day into a notice for to-morrow, when be will move for a Return of the Regimental Effective Returns of the Sick from the commencement of the Walcheren F.xpedition down to the 17th February, 1810. IRISH DISTILLERIES. Mr. HUTCHINSON moved for copies of all com munications made to the Chancellor of the Exche quer for Ireland by the Commissioners of Excise in that country, relative to the progress of the Bill pen ding in that House respecting the Distilleries in Ire land. Mr. FOSTER having stated that such a commu nication might lead to unwarrantable breach of con fidence, and Sir JOHN NEWPORT not conceiving the infor mation so necessary, the motion was put and nega tived Without a divison. Mr. O'HARA moved that the several petitions from the county of Sligo and other counties in Ire land, be referred to the same Committee.—Ordered. Mr. O'HARA was next proceeding to move two u s e p p o a n r a te parishes clause si nr e l lr ea t l i a v n e dt oi nthe wh m ic o l i i ie of levying illlcitst fi nes found, when The SPEAKER reminded him, that he was at liberty to move such clauses in the Committee. The House then went inn , Committee on the Inch - Distillery Bill. Mr. ROBERT SHAW (of Dublin) observed, upon the great evils resulting from the great thictua - n in the that had hitherto so unfortunately prevailed n the Distillery Laws of Ireland, the consequence was, that it damped the spirit of trade, by rendering the fairest speculations, at the best, extremely hazardous ; but in no instance would any change that had yet taken place, be felt so severely as that by which the small stills were now to be suddenly encourages], at the expence of the large ones. A great deal of capital had been hazarded, upon the faith of the permanent encouragement of the larger stills ; if that encourage ment was now suddenly to be withheld, all that ca pital would be forfeited, and the ruin of some of tbe first houses in this trade in Ireland would be tq *us and melancholy consequence.

LIFE BOATS. Mr. CURWEN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whe ther it was his intention to bring forward any proposition for re warding Mr. Mznby for his industry and skill in the construc tion of the Life Boats at Yarmouth ? adding, that if answered in the negative, he should himself feel it his duty to submit a mo tion upon this subject. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered in the negative. Mr. CURWEN therefore gave notice of a motion for Friday. JOHN BOWLES AND CO. Mr. ORDE expressed a wish to know whether the Report laid before the House last Sessions with regard to the misconduct of the Dutch Commissioners, had been yet referred to the exa mination of the Auditors of Public Accounts, or what was the intention of the Treasury upon the subject ? This question he was induced to put, because he had heard tint the Dutch Com missioners had presented a memorial to the Treasury deprecating the reference alluded to. 'I he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated in reply that he understood there had been some communications to the Treasury upon this business, witil regard to which he would in quire and furnish the Honourable Gentleman with all the infor mation in his power to-morrow or Thursday. LORD WELLY.SLEY'S MISSION. Mr. WHITBREAD inquired whether there was any objection 'to lay- before the House the document to which allusion was made last night, namely, a copy ..)f the instructions given to the Marquis of Wel- , lesley upon his departure for Spain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wislud to know upon what points in these instruc-1 tions the Honourable Gentleman desired information? Whether with regard to our Military or Financial Aids to Spain, or the advice which the Noble Lord was instructed to offer to the Spanish Crovernment ? Mr. WHITBREAD felt it impossible to state what parts of these instructions, of which he was wholly ignorant, it would be desirable to lay before the House.' He should be ceiitented with the pro- , " Blanc, Esq. v. the Earl of Cassilis and others," . nilly was heard for the Appellant, the Solicitor aland for the Respondents, and Sir Samuel Ro- -Further papearavg te-morrow.
