The Learned Gentleman, on tome occafions, came , • forward to the aft with cannon and genius; on others, `merely as a lawyer. He difpenfed with the farmer this day, and teemed to avail himfeif only of the dexterity of a pleader. Indeed he diverged into no public topic ; but the Tingle point to which the at• tention of the Houle was direfted, namely, the tar diners of Minifters in bringing forward the meafure. Minifters fay, that fuch a charge comes with an ill grace from thofe who, when the country was ca roled, in their own opinion, to Molt alarming dan gers, were more than lupine in propofing meafures of defence, for they propofed none at all.—But the Learned Gentleman Pays, the danger that then threat ened the country was nothing when compared with that by which it is now menaced. That, however, was not the language of his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Windham); that Right Honourable Gentleman did confefs, at the time that the fiturion of the coun try was moil perilous—and in truth it was fo—lre. land was in a ftate of rebellion—the Northern Con federacy was forming—the Army of England threat ened our coats—yet what did Minifters do on that occafion ? What did the Right Honourable Gentle man (Mr. Windham) who confeffed the danger, then propofe to avert or repel it ? Nothing—he remain ed filent—yet he then held a place among his Majef ty's Minifters ; not that he complained of his holding a place ; all he complained of was, that he held his tongue, and that he betrayed the fame apathy and neglect with which he now reproaches others. As if a Minifter retains his place while he conceals his opinion, or refrains from acing upon that opinion which acknowledged the country to be in great dan er without propofing any meafure of defence.— Surely loch a Minifter was far from faithfully per forming his duty. Col. Pit i rrs (poke to order. Mr. Summit could not well be fulpeiled of a • difpofition to attack Gentlemen in their abfence, at leaft he was not very flack at attacking the Right ' Honourable Gentleman alluded to when he was pre -1 tent to repel the attack. For all that was now (aid of his conduCt, that Right Honourable Getitleman Ind to thank his Learned Friend, who obtruded the queflion on the Houle. Col. CR•VFORD was foray to find that a report had gone abroad that Minifters intended to confine lite operation of the prefent meafure to the railing of 380,000 men. If that was the cafe, which he trulted it was not, it would take away the whole foul and (pink of the meafure, which he hoped would have the (lied of railing and nourifbing a military fpirit in the country. He was anxious the meafure lhould be ailed upon to the full. The Seca IT•ItY at WAR obferved, that if Gentle- Mien had looked into the Bill, they would not have made thefe obfervations. These was nothing in the prefent Bill derogatory from the principle of the mea lure upon which it was founded. It pre poled the railing, in the firft infiance, of a force equal to fix time, the number of the original militia, a number which was as great as could be trained at once—but, it did not fo limit the number to be hereafter trained and difcipbned. The Cmancettoa of the Escutoxsa contended, that the only ()lien of the Bill was to extend the dif eretion welled inhis Mink. The ET wac then_paffed. Mr. SR lILIDAN gave notice, that en Monday next, he &told fubmit a motior. to the Houk refpeeing Volunteer Corps, which he imbed would accord with the feelings and opinions of every Gentlenfan prefent. The other orders of the day were then difpofed of, L and the Houle adjourned till to-morrow. tet them, has motioned the lots of feveral, by their going into ports occupied by a force direEted by our enemy. It is true, we have a ffrong force in the Mediter ranean ; and we are happy to (late, that our fleet in that quarter was well off Naples on the 28th of May; but the duty we owe to our country lays us under the neceflity of remonfirating againft our trade being left expofed in the manner it has been, when a few fri gates, properly difpofed, might have prevented the tnifchief. We hope, that, in the proper department, meafures will be immediately carried into effed, to prevent a continuance or repetition of fuch infults. Thefe letters alfo contain another difagreeable piece of intelligence. Dillon's Regiment has behaved in fuch a difgraceful and turbulent manner, that the Governor at hit refolved to dilband them, as the only way likely to prevent a repetition of their mifconduß. This Regiment was in a (late, to which fome of our letters hardly know what epithet ought to be applied —We have no hefitation in giving it the proper ap. pellation of a daring mutiny. Three days were fpent in haranguing them, to endeavour to bring the men to a proper fenfe of their duty, but all in vain. They were at lag told that they mull either fubmit to the difgrace of being difrniffed from the fervice for fuch unfoldier-like condult, or take the alterna tive of being reduced by force. They preferred the former, and were in confequence fent in final' parties into Spain. We hardly know how to view fuel a proceeding. , Our letters inform us, that the Spaniards are prepar ing for war—they have got home much treafure, and expe.t more daily from America—and we fend them foldiers to ;noted it ! In every port in the Mediter ranean, where the influence of France can be exerted to our prej , tdier, there is nothing like neutrality— they receive the enemy's cruizers and /mixes, and even make prizes of fuch 'elicit belonging to Britain as go into them for neceffaries on their voyage— and yet we Infer Spain to be neutral—till France can gain nothing farther—till all the rich (hips are arrived—till the enemy has obtained the real finews of war. Then we (hall boafl of our moderation in not having forced Spain into the war ! Refpetling the mutiny, we cannot avoid making tome obfervations which naturally prefent themfelves. We cannot help confidering the trefoil difagreeable fituatic. , of the garrifon, as in fome degree a necef- Lay cor.fequence of the recal of His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Knit. The lax Rate of difcipline in the garrifon when he was appointed to the com mand, is well known. It is silo well known, that the mutiny which broke out while he was there. refulted from the previous indifcipline of the troops, and the regulations introduced to prevent thofe feenes of intoxication which were a (land ing Rigma on that fortrefs. Was it wife, when the Governor by fpirit and prudence bad firppreffed the mutiny, to call him home ?—How would the troops argue ? " That their mutiny bad been fo fu (needs. ful as to difmifs a Governor !"—They would give the meafure no other name, and we have no doubt, that to this circumflance may fairly be afcribed the continuance of a fpirit which endangers the fafety of that important ?Omer*. If turbulent fol diets are to be taught by any meafures whatever, no matter how erroneoully they may reafon, that they have the power to get rid of a Commander, they will never be fatisfied under any one whatever, were he an Angel from Heaven. Gtartatraa, Just 24.—This goes by the Ml roy which takes home the Bth, the 33d, and asth regiments from this, which were relieved a few days ago by the loth, Di Roots's, and Ditzon's regi ments from Egypt. The 26th Light Dragoons, and a party of Artillery from Egypt, are alfo on board the convoy : about fifty merchant Tads are alfo in Icompany. . . " We have heard nothing from .

The two (loops of war here, the BErrsan and Tout- TelteLLll, thought they were not able to cope with her, and did not chute to go out to meet her. " About fifteen prizes have been rent in here face the war began.

"There fortunately happened to be only one Eng lifh (hip at Leghorn when they heard of the war, which en attempting to get out was immediately feized, and brought as a prize into the Mole. The Ligurian Republic, and alto the Gamete, are pref. fing feameis and fbipwrights for the French navy, by order of the Cisisr Consul., who Teems determined that nobody (hall remain neuter." " Jet. r a.—By the la* accounts from Leghorn and Genoa, the French colours were eying at each of thee places, and all Engiifn veff l wzre niade prizes of that put in there. At I.eg6rn they had taken two Englifh vefrds from AlexauJii t, one from New. foundland, and one from this place that had put into that port. _ " Several French privateers are already cruifing in the Gut : they have taken one Englifh fhip. " One of our Privateers took a French Weft India. man under the Barbary coaft,laft night,worth moool. Two Weft Indiamcn, her companions, anchored near Cabreta point this morning, and were boarded and taken by the boats of the Birrsan floop of war, and brought in here. The . crews all made their efcape on Chore with the papers. " The Garrifon has been in an unpleafizet date this fome time paft, from the conduit of Dillon's Regi ment. And to avoid an open mutiny, and all its dreadful confequences, they have been obliged to &f -lied the whole Regiment ; and to permit fuch of the men as AO it, to go into Spain by 4o and 5o at a time. The fir ft party, of upwards. of 5o men, left this Garrifon on the 3oth of June. It is furely Wilily impolitic ever to fend a Tingle foreign /direr to this Garrifon ; and it is hoped the eyes of Government will be opened to the impolicy :of fuch a meafure, when they find a Governor of fuch a Garrifon as this obliged, to avoid a greater evil, to allow great part of a Regin:ent to leave the Garrifon, almoft every man of whom will enter into the French or Spanifh fervice. JULY 3.—Accounts have been received this morning, of two more Englifh veffels having been taker in the Gut by the French privateers, who flop every thing coming in.

By a vela, which arrived on Thurtday IA at Plymouth from Jerfey, and which left that place on Friday laR, it appears that accounts have been re ceived there, that the French were in great force at St. Meloc's and Granville; that 50,000 troops were embarking, and their deßination Rated to be for an attack on Guernfey and Jerfey ; in confentsence of which, the troops and inhabitants of thofe made immediate preparation, and are in a Rate of rcadinefs to give them a warm reception, in the event of an attempt ; but from the Rate of Ireland, it is probable that their dellination may be for that part of the united kingdom. We hive this day received Come details from Gib. raker, which will be read with much intereli on many accounts.

Yet, fuels has been the fall. The forma of Gibraltar has bees blockaded for that Petiod by a fir.gle (hip of comparatively (mall force! The confequence has been, that though Come prises have been carried into Gibraltar, fince the war be gan, the enemy have abfolutely made a number of valuAle cartures; and the want of crnizers in the j '.lcditcrrancan to warn our merchantmen and inal NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
