N. 4 PAL INTZLLIGENCE. After Mr. YORKE made his motion last nighi to 1 erclude Strangers from the House of Commons, a , partial scene of confusion took place: Some persons• in the front row of the Gallery, who were of course :Imagers, rudely put en their hats and turned their backs on the House, accompanying these gestures with hissing : this conduct called forth some expres sions-of indignation from the Members present. But this was not all ; for a short 'time after the Gallery was cleared, a lond cry of ag Withdraw, withdraw 1" was heard within-doors, and in a few minutes the Duke of CUMBERLAND and Lord MULGRAVE were seen coming out of the principal door of the House into the Lobby. It was understood, therefore, that I the order for the exclusion of strangers had been ex tended to them allo. It is not expected that the measure of thus excluding strangers from the proceedings in Parliament will be of long continuance, as it is more likely to give cur rercy and credit to partial, and, perhaps, unfounded statements of what is going on within doors, than to tti•ve the objects which Mr. Yotticr. affects to have in View. The . following vessels are now cruizing on the Cork station, under the orders of Admiral WHIT SHED, who arrived at Cork from this port, on Mon day se'nnight, in the HELENA sloop :—Dat:ln frigate, Captain Sir 'WILLIAM BOLTON; EMERALD frigate, Capt. MAITLAND ; JA LOUSE sloop, Capt. MORRIS; ARGUS sloop, Capt. STUART; HELENA sloop, Capt. Wotan ; Rnsora:TE and VIRAGO gun-brigs ; and E.l-liL SPENCER cutter. The EMERALD, Damn, and .I.lLousE, sailed from Cove on Saturday last, on se parate cruize. Several ineffectual attempts had been made to weigh up the BRITANNIA, which i. sunk in a very dangerous position in Cork harbour; the REsot.url, a few days ago, in working out to givechace to a privateer which appeared off the coast, ran foul of the wreck, and received some damage, which obliged her to put back to repair. The privateer brig sent in by the •AmAzox, mentioned in my two farmer letters, has been astonishingly successful; she has been cruizing upwards of six years, and during that time, has captured near 200 merchant vessels, of different descriptions, no small number of which belohged to British subjects. The AmAzoN-had great difficulty in coming up with her, and was nine teen hours in chace. Another French brig privateer arrived last night, captured off the Penmarks by the NARCISSUS frigate, ll leagues from Ushant ; she had taken five prizes, and sent them for France, during her last cruize. The NEIMAN? has recaptured two vessels in the Channel, which arrived here this day. Three American vessels arrived this day, laden with flour, timber, and other American produce; and another, of the same description, made signal in the ofFug for a pilot, about three hours since. Arrived. the SeietoN, 80 guns, Rear-Admiral SToP FORD, from Basque Roads, which she left on Monday last—Also arrived the CROCUS, 18 guns, from a cruize; and the OntstF.s sloop of war, from a cruize off Scilly, with a dock yard lighter, which was supposed to have, been lost on her passage from Ireland. The crew of the AclfiLLtt, 74 guns, Captain Sir RICHARD KING, were this day paid six months wages in Cawsand Bay, preparatory to the sailing of that ship for the French coast. Dtlfinz the Administration of Lord Nonni, the friends o 1 that Minister conceived they were serving his Lordship's interests by shutting the doors of the House of Commons against the Reporters. Some Low or other, however, the Newspapers were filled, as usual, with Parliamentafy Debates ; and it was even alledged, that they were furnished by the Members themselves. Lord Nolan, at last, stepped across the House one day to Mr. Fox, and said with great good humour, " Really, Mr. Fox, since we have turned Reporters ourselves, the speeches arc so clumsy, there is so much misrepresentation, and. so much 14 nonsense, that we must open the Gallery door in u our own defence." ESSEX ELECTIOX.—State.of the poll the 5d dAq : For JOHN AR6itit HOIJALON, Esq. - - 152 For MONTAGU BURGOYNE, Esq. 44.5 Majority in fsvour of Mr. Hoy It LON 1147 testerday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain PETER CAM EROS was sworn into the command of the ship Ann, con signed to Madras and Bengal. Letters from Amsterdam, written on the very day in which a popular tumult was said to have taken place there, arc silent respecting any such event. We may therefore consider the report as unfounded, or the fact as having been greatly exaggerated.— A re port of an insurrection having also taken place at Madrid is, probably, equally groundless. A letter from Plymouth mentions the arrival there of a trawl boat, with six Portuguese sailors on hoard, from Oporto, who state, that they had effected their escape in consequence of an insurrection having broken out at that place. None of the particulars are mentioned. This report is not credited. . MEL—Saturday morning, Captain COVENEY, of the West Kent Militia, and Lieutenant Alumni ' O'BRIAN, of the North York Militia, attended by their seconds and a surgeon, met in the Mote Park, near Maidstone, at halt past six o'clock in the morning, to I decide IM Affair of honour. Mr. HILLSLEY, Constable of the Corporation, having received intelligence of their interitlun, very meritoriously exerted himself to > prevent the fatal effects which might result. The seconds graving fired the pistols by way of proving theta, Mr. HILLSLEY was attracted by the report, to the spot they had retired to, and arrived with his as sistants, at the instant the parties were taking their distance. With some difficulty the peace officers got possesion of the pistols, and took the parties into cus- , tody. They were taken before G. BURGESS, Esq. the Mayor of Maidstone, and were bound in sureties cf £2OO to keep the peace. The elegant Marine Maiasion of Albion House, Ramsgate, built by the late JAMES SIMMONS, Esq. and sold by his Executors to the late Duke of PORTLAND, was on Tuesday brought to the hammer, and with a piece of garden ground at the back of Albion-place, knocked down to Mrs. TOWNLEY for £3970.-I'he price for Albion House was ig3300 1 for the garden gronnd £670. Thursday the Bleaching-ground belonging to Mr. . BAi u of Garrat-lane, Wandsworth, WAS robbed of StO pietes of tambric. A Melancholy accident happened last Thursday evening, near the Castle public house, Kent-road, about seven o'clock : as an elderly woman, who gets her living by bringing sand from Blackheath, to sell about town, was returning from her customary journey with her daughter, about 15 years of age, the darkness of the evening having induced her to leave her cart behind, and ride upon her horse, the girl, contrary to the wish of her mother, walked by her side is the road, when she was overtaken, and thrown down by a Greenwich stage, and her head so much hurt, that she expired in a few minutes. About two in the morning of Wednesday last, a most alarming fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. RICHARD SHOOBRIDGE, builder, at Tenterden, which burnt with great fury till the whole, together with some adjoining stables, were entirely consumed,-- Great fears were entertained that many houses and buildings in that part of the town would have shared the same fate ; but by the prompt attendance of the engine, and the exertions of the firemen and the in• habitants, it was got under Without doing any fur ther damage. No estimate can at present be &reined of the amount of the loss sustained, but it must be very considerable; not is it conjectured by what cause the calamity was occasioned. The rapi dity of the flames, aided by the combustible mate rials, was such, that nothing within the building could be saved ;" and among the loss is to be added that of the tools of the workmen in Mr. SHOOBRIDGeS employ. Five p. m.—A French transport brig, under cartel colours, is now reported to be standing into the Sound.—Arrived the Sisters' Providence, from Te neriffe for London, with barilla, &c. was captured the 13th ult. by the French lugger privateer Inspector, of 6 guns, from St. Maloe'-, and recaptured the 19th following by the Piii-AsAxr slOop. The Providence fell in with a large French frigate, from Cherburgh, deeply laden with a number of troops on board, for Guad:tlotipe ; she took two seamen out of the Pro vidence.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for a Rule to spew cause why as person of the name of Jay should not be admitted to be a Burgess .f the Borough of Sudbury, and that the writ of manda mus be directed to the Mayor of Sudbury far that purpose. The grounds of die modon,were, that be was reOlsedhle fret - dont of that corporation, to *lnch (by its atoms) be was endtled by right of apprenticeship, in consequence of his master's refusing to acknowledge his servitude, the affidaVit of the t posis tively stating that such apprenticeship had been d al Z k o a e n ered. Rule gianted; WtTsrtssrs. On the motion of Mr. Gan 'Loki?, a rule was granted,calling up on a persOn tb chew cause why an attachment for contempt should not issue against him for not obeying a subpoena, demandingitit attendance to glte evidedte in a trial at Nisi Prius in that Court. It appeated that this man's testimony was most material in the cause at i*eue, andthat he wilfully absented himself.—Rule granted. HABEAS minis. A motion of Mr. Raine, for a writ of habeas corpus to dis charge•from his Majesty's service a foreigner, was refused by the Court, as the affidavit upon which the application was founded, was made by a person who only heard that the man was a fo reigner, without giving other grounds more satisfaciory to the Court, upon which he formed his information. A like application was made by Mr. READER, on behalf of an American, which the Court assented to, it appearing that the perion on whose behalf the application was sua?e, was not only a citizen, but a native of the United States. Their I.ordships then proceeded to bear motions in the pc. remptory paper fur nee, trials. • TUE KING t. Tnt BATOR OF TOOLE. - - In this ease the ATTORNEY GENERAL was tobavesbewfteattSe against a Rule fur in Information in the nature of a M O IC arralfto to question the lilac of Election of Mayor, long practised in the TiAvn and County of Poole. He stated, that the ground a com plaint 'against Mr. Strong, the present Mayor, was, that he had been elected under a custom which could not be proved to have existed more than two or i3OO years. He was . quite confident that Mr. Strong's Election had been perfectly regular, and that there would be not the least difficulty in sustaining it, but it did appear that there was in existence a very ancient Charter, without ate, wh.elt described a mode of election somewhat diffe rent from that so long practised ; and therefore the Court would not decide it upon this motion ; but that as it must, for form's sake, be sent to a Jury, he consented that a Rule should be made absolute, with out going into the circumstances at present. WOOD, BART. v. E ESQ. This cause again came before the Court to-day, upon th• en larged Rule nisi, obtained last term by the Defendant, for setting aside the Arbitrator's award. The Rule was obtained, as we then mentioned, upon the Defendant's own afiidavit, which was fully answered by affidavits for the Plaintiff; r.nd the question which stood over was entirely upon the language Of the award. This question was discussed to-day, when the Court were unanimously of opinion that the award was expressed wirh sufficient legal pre cision, and therefore discharged the Defendant's Rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JANUARY st. LORI) LEICESTER v. THE PROPRIETORS OF A MORNING PAPER. This case, which is fresh in the recollection of the Public, was called on fur argument. it was an action for a libel on the Earl, and £lOOO damages were given. Last term, application was made for a new trial, when the Learned Judge expressed his regret that such an action had been brought.—bistead of a new trial the defendant's Counsel was ad• vised by the Court to nova an arrest of Judgment, On the grotind that the courts in the declaration had net been made sot by eel. dente. A conditional Rule having been obtained, the cause was this day called on for hearing. Mr.,Serjeant BEST, as Counsel for the plaintiff, prope oe d to relinquish £5OO of the damages, and to drop all further proceed. inv.—The' defendant's Counsel, however, considered it bates sary to consult his clicut on the proposition, and the case iris or. detect to stand over till Saturday next, to afford him an °plume. airy of so doing.
