He teaist all Amendments, and support the kjOilcons. Galoael ALLEN insLted that the Noble Marcris (Wellesky) waned upon the same principles as those which bad been re aissended by Lords Maeartney, Powys and Cornwallis. The Wbef Arcot, he maintained, was not to be esteemed as an in • a f eadent Prince, hut as a person who held his situation cotirely lOU on the lb itish Government. To that Government he a econsiderably in arrears, and his perfidy to that Govt.rument p i nenifest, front the secret papers of his that were disce.vered t f !be British Officers.

Mr. WINDHAM, on account of the lateness of the hour, and tie timber of Honourable Members that had yet to speak upon ix subject, proposed that the debate should be adjourned to Iksday next.—Ordered. The few remaining Orders on the List were then fixed for future Lasso°, and the House adjourned at half after one o'clock. EXCHANGE OF THREE PER CENT. BANK ANNUI TIES FOR LIFE ANNUITIES.

Mr. PINCKNEY, son of the American Minister at the Court of London, and Mr. LEWIS, who lately arrived in the Osage, having finished their business here, have by this time probably sailed from Falmouth, in the Osage, to return to America. They reached Fal mouth on Saturday last, where every thing was ready for their dcpaiture, and they were to sail on Monday. Mr. NOL7rSE ren:ains still in London. It is understood that the discussions between the American Diplomatists and our Cabinet have been conducted with the utmost harmony. Mini sters have, it is said, intimated to Mr. PINCKNEY (as a mark of their amicable disposition towards Ame rica), their readiness to pass an act by which the United States shall be considered as the most favoured nation, and shall enjoy in all our ports and settlements ;he rights and privileges that may have been enjayed at any time by any other Power in amity with Great Britain. And further, some arrangement has been proposed as to the carriage of the produce of West-India Colonies to European ports, without touching in Great Britain ; but the particulars we have not learnt. The right of searching merchant ships is not and will not be surrendered. If these pro positions shall not be deemed a sufficient test of cur amicable spirit, then the United States may act as they shall judge fit ; but this is to be considered as tke British ultimatum. Of course no answer could be given by Mr. PINCKNEY to these propositions ; but they have been transmitted to America. By a vessel airived at Plymouth from Lisboa, and which left the British squadron cruizing off that port on the 3d instant, accounts have been received that the Russian squadron are very much in want of pro visions, and it is expected they will soon be obliged to attempt to run the gauntlet, if the French will allow them to do so. Letters have been received from Oporto in eleven, and from Lisbon in seven days ; at both these plates it was understood that an embargo would be imme diately laid upon all American vessels, by the special command cf BONAPARTE. Information has been received from Cadiz to the same effect, as far as respects the ports of Spain.— This has been learnt from the Captain of a vessel, 1 which left Cadiz on the 25th alt. Letters were received yesterday from Jeremie, in St. Domingo, to the 50th of March. These letters repeat the intelligence that Port de Pair, as well as Jean Rabel, were in the possession of PETION. There were about 5000 of his troops at Jeremie, under the command of a General GEnarau ; several hundreds of whom were employed in dispersing the brigands, who had taken refuge in the neighbouring hills and woods. It was pretty generally understood before the late Expedition left the Downs, that every idea of an im mediate attack upon Flushing bad been laid aside. Perhaps it was never seriously entertained. We learn, however, from a per sea who lately effected his escape from flushing, that such fears were there entertained of a visit from our Expedition, as to induce the enemy to send the greater part of the ships that had been assembled there, back again to Antwerp. The ()pi nion was very general at Flushing, that had a British force appeared there some weeks ago, all the ships at that port must have fallen into our hands. Yesterday a cartel arrived from Harlingen, having on board the crew of his Majesty's ship FLORA. The order to make Sir GEORGE FITZGERALD HILL a Privy Councillor, has been sent from London, with the oral - respecting Dr DVIGENIAN. The LORD MAYOR has nominated the following Gentlemen to be in nomination to the Livery of London for Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, viz.— ALEXANDER CHAMPION, Citizen and Fishmonger; 1011/4 Cow LET, Citizen and Clothworker ; CHRISTOPHER TADDT, Ci tiro' and Grocer; THOMAS POYNDER, Citizen and Tyler and Bricklayer; WILLIAM HAMMOND, Citizen and Draper; THOMAS WHIPU AM, citizen and Gnidzintibt MARTIN PEARKIS, Citizen and Goldsnlich ; JOSIPH I.iloe, Citizen and giover CHARLES \Valour, Citizen and Goldsmith. jrM o these rights were eset pwus for every thing he h sco:ss of the British arms, tl pa throve.
