The amendments being read a fit ft time, on the Mari--n for the fecond leading, Mr. SFCRFTARY at WAR obferved, that the only amendment chid, he conceived to be very impor tant, was one in that clad:: upon which there had been fo much ditctiffion in this Houfc, for enabling the I.nrJ Lieu:mints of Counties to appoint Sub ::-itern Officers of the Line, ana unqualified per fons,•to Commiffmns in the Militia, as high .as Captaincies. The amendment went to enable the Letrd Lieutenants to promote Lieutenants of Mi litia to Captaincies, and his only realms tor riling was, that, by fome clerical error in this amend: men', it was not clearly intelligible.

Gentleman Ilzonld now propofe to bring forward o bufinefao materially interetting to the trade and commerce of this Country,without any communication what ever upon the important fubjea ~oar fo long pend ing with France, and about which he mud know the mind of every man in this e.iuntry was need fully folicitous. The Right Hon. Gentleman mutt know,that on the fubjea be now propofed tot): ing forward for dilcullion, a very general anxiety ex filed with the commercial interefts of this Coun try: be mull be fenfilsle alio, of the forbearance of the Members of that Houfe, who had taken a leading part on the fuhjea, from rent forward any confideration thereon, during the pendency of a Negotiation which involved the Country in fo much orfeertainty on the fubjea of Peace or War : and be could not help laying, when he confiJeted the very injurious :late :nzo which the credit of the , Country was plunged, that his bfajefty's Minifters incurred a high degree of culpability, by fo long' withholding all communication, and leaving the • Country in utter doubt and uncertainty on this cub lea: but he pledged himfelf not to fuffen the fuhjea now propofed to go into a Committee, without at lead taking the fettle of the Houle upon it, utilefs lime previous communication was made by his Majelles Mini:lets, which would enable the Houfe to meet the quedion with Tome more competent degree of knowledge than they now could have.

We cannot, as tome of our contemporaries have done, infer from this notification that matters with France are on the eve of being fatisfaftorily ac• commodated.

This day, however, the Stocks hpve kept im proving—a proof that in the City the hopes of Peace are ftrengthened upon the whole. At one o'clock the 3 per cents were at 631 for the May F account, and 67 for money. There was an uncommon bugle and agitation in the Honfe laft night among the leading members. No notice of any motion on the fiats of the nation was given, and as a Mefrage is expefted loon, it is probable that no motion will be made till the dill curion to which that Mame may give rife takes place. Nothing was laid in the Hoare of Lords. We underhand that his Excellency J. Monaca has been appointed American Ambafador at this Court. He is now at Paris, and is expeded in London in about ten days. By tatters ju ft received fmm America we learn, that jasraasom and Palma have difagreed, and that the latter has been difcarded.
