He then moved for feveral returns of official accounts from various Departments of the Revenue in Ireland, which were ordered accord ingly, and afterwards prefented at the Bar, and ordered to lie on the table.

Thefe were the (hips which were teen by the Princefs Elizabeth Packet, according to our Falmouth Correfpondent, off Cape Tiburoon, on her paffage to England.
