This requeft was refitted by the Chair. man, Mr. ROBIRT THoaarom, who produced the following Refolution, palled the preceding day by the Court of Direetors, viz. " The Court taking into confide:Won, that the delays, whirl', at the Manatee of the • Buyers, have taken place in entering upon the prefect Tea Sale, may be attended with +ay injurious &ca., by prerisurig a due drculadon of Tea ammenet the Country Desks; and various either incanmeinices, as wdl Mods, to the Company us the Public : Ordered, That the Chef •Inan of the Sale, on raiday morn ing next, be lafirsaad not to poltpose the fame on any account whatever" This Refolotion. it was contended, did not advert to the Sugar Sale, but had only reference to the ad journed Tea Sale. to be held this morning. The Chairman, however, kept bis ground firmly, and in filled that it left him without any difcretionary power. After a long converfatioro, in which Mr. Kim's, took a confiderable (hare, the (Ale proceed ed ; the bidding. being confined ;o Mr. THORNTON, Clerk to Mr. MARTYR, of the Baggage . Department. The bone of the prefent contention is the dircon tinuance by the revenue of one pound weight draft in every hundred, or wl.at is called the Turn,' which alteration of the anal mode has been filed by a po fitive Ad of Parliament. _ _ The bidding: being only at xos. 6d. for goods marked 6os. in the catalogue, the fele was at length adjourned till Monday neat, when the privilege (agars will be put up. . . A pamphlet, purporting to be an Anfwer to the celebrated Treatife of General LLOYD, " On the De fence of Great Britain," has been pnbliffied at Paris by General Gaosasar, an officer who formerly (erred in La Vendee. In this anfwer he attempts to prove, but in Inch a manner as to fbew his complete ignorance of all maritime affairs, that the French can effett a defcent, notwithilanding every oppoli tion on the part of the Britifh Navy/ When there, every thing, in the French General's opinion, is fmooth, and Cafe, and certain. Ten days, he lays, would do the bunnefs. Sixty thonfand men are to come over in fix hundred tranfports, or one hundred and ninety pontoons. They are to bring bread enough for ten days, becaufe we might lay wane the coun try to London. He propores to land between Mar gate and Beachy Head, whilß a fleet of gun boats with pieces of large calibre are to fail up the 'Thames. He calculates that the pairage would occupy two days ;—that the landing would take up three more ; and that in five days afterwards, the French would be in London. He fuggells the propriety of leaving twenty thoufand men to befiege . Dover and Tilbury Forts, and to keep the communication open. Thirty thonfand would, he lays, be fufficient to march to, and talcs the capital. In the fondnefs of this French General for his plan. he totally omits one thing. He has entirely forgotten that we have any military force, and his plan does not contain the lean provifion 'salon refinance or defeat on !bore. This reminds as of an author who wrote a piece which he entitled Tla Th row eatissitml The manager to whom he bored it returned for an anfwer ' that it was delightfully writ ten, much battle, and a finely contrived plot, but that unfortunately he had made a flight omiffion-- He had forgotten to introdaw any Heroine into the Piece. -._,_- . _ :,. VOLUNTEER CORPS. An Additional Company of Volunteer Infantry for the City of Canterhitry, to confill of 400 rank and file, has been accepted by Government. Yefterday after the St. James's Volunteers had quitted the Park, where they had been infpefted by the Earl of HARR I N GTON , th e Roy a l Weftm infter Corps returned to the King's Mews; and having depofited their arms, were difmiffed till three o'clock, when they were ordered again to an:enable to take the oath of allegiance.

Lord HartatiroToll then rode up to the Commanding Officer, and told him he was furprifed as well as pleafed at the forwardnefs of the Corp, and that their foldier-like appearance merited his particular approbation. When the General had left the ground, the Corps formed a circle, and was told by the Co lonel in what flattering terms the General had ex preffed himfelf refpetitng their appearance and dif cipline.

Colonel Warso*, in a very impreißve manner, read over to them the Vote of Thanks of the Houfe of Commons. The Corps was then dif miffed. Notice has been given that Lieutenant-General the Earl of /IMMO moron has appointed the suth to infped the above Corps.
