The ADVOC•TIRIIIRRAL (Mr. Nichol) replied to the obfervations of the lafl fpeaker, and faid the ob• fervation, as to the danger of drawing down the vengeance of the Admiralty, was belt anfwered by a fa& ; that Capt. Cochrane (the mover of this quer tion) had not been difmiffed the fervice, or had fuf , fered any injury in his profeffion, on account of his bringing . forward this Memorial. Captain HARVEY was of opinion, that this was a proper qiieflion to be enquired into by the Commit fioners already appointed for that purpofe, as it was particularly provided that they fhould enquire into the abufes relative to Prize Caufes. Mr. WILEERFORCI thought, that if ever a motion deferved to be received, the prefent one was of that defcription. The objeflien to it relied merely upon the high charafter which his Majeßy's Proftor bore ; at the fame time it was admitted, that the thing in itfelf was highly indecorous. No fewer than 207 cafes had been Rated. It was not necelfary to fay that there caufes ware not vigoroully defended, becaufe on what ever fide they ended, confiderable gain would arife. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHICky ER faid, it was not true an application had been made to the Board of Admiralty, and difmiffed by it without attention : it was referred to his Right Hon. Friend, who had diffolved the unfeemly conneftion complained of.— His for moving the ditcharge of the order. pro ceeded not only from a confideratton of the cafe, but from a regard to the regularity of proceeding. Mr ALEXANDER and Sir W. Geaav were againft the motion.—The order was then difcbarged. The Additional Excite Bill was read a third time. On the queltion, that it do pats, Colonel HurcHINSON rote to oppofe it, on the idea that itmilitated very much againft the Ira Diflillers, and was a dire& violation of the Aft of Union. LONDON.

Colonel Hurc it in son raid a few words in explana tion,and the Bill was paffed,and ordered to the Lords. ci.eaor assinanca nits. The Order of the Day for taking into confideration the Amendments made by the Lords in the Clergy Refidence Bill being read, the Amendments were read a first time. The &rata& called the attention of the Hoofs to the nature of fome of the Amendments. It was, he (aid, extremely well known that the Houfe 4 Corn inons had ever been very jealous of the privilege they claimed of originating all Bills of a pecuniary nature ; that one of the Amendments jult read, ins poled a fine of nos. by way of penalty, which was fo (tiredly in the face of the Privilege of the Commons, that be fuppoled fome Gentleman would rife in his place, and move that there Amendments be takes into confideration on fome very diftant day. Sir Ws. SCOTT laid, that he was fenfible the amendments alluded to by the Speaker were an in fringement of the liberty of the Commons, and he accordingly moved that thee amendments be taken into confideration this day three months.—Ordered. The Bill was of courfe thrown out. Sir Wist.tan Scorr then rote and Paid, that as the privileges of the Houfe bad now been maintained and fatisfied, and as the BiU just rejeEted on account of filch amendments as were of a pecuniary kind, was of the higheft importance to the community, and as it was neceffary that the provilions it contained fhould be carried into drat as fpeedily as poffible, he moved for leave to bring in a bill to the fame purport. The STRAZIR, kid, that the Houle having attend. ed to its privilege, it certainly had been the ufage of Parliament in cafes of great importance, and cereal's ly none could be more fo than this, to give leave for a new bill to be bought in en the •fame fubjeft.— Leave was thensiven to bring in the faMe: SCOTCH ARDST RS S amt.. The Houfe went into a Comnsittee on the Scotch Army of Referee Bill. The Seca avaar at WAR laid that the Bill was Seedy fimilar to that for England. The principal alteration being the quotas to be railed in the differ ent Counties in Scotland. It had been originally framed on the fame calculation as that for England ; but on confideration he found it would be better to let the quotas be regulated in the fame proportion as was adopted on railing the Militia in Scotland. The Report was then brought up and agreed tu, and or• dered to be further confidered to-morrow, and the Dill to be printed.—Adjourned. The intelligence from Holland, given in this Pa per yefterday, announced officially, that the Beta. via Reprifie, at tie Ally of Inure, it •i4rd to tab part ix tie pleat veer. Need we remark that Spain alto is the Ally of France, and bound by treaty to furnifh ?hips and men to that power, in cafe of war with any State, whatever and that as fear as it (hall fait the convenience of the Curer Comm, it will alto be obliged to declare its intention openly in the fame manner as Holland has done. As the Ally of France it is obliged to do fo. That being the cafe, found policy certainly demands, that under the prefect cit.- canallances, and in an affair of fo much importance to this Country, we &mild cnnfult our own fafety in preference to the coevelience of the Cm... Consul.. By our Falmouth letter it will be teen, that about a hundred and fifty Spend:it veffels mull, at this time, be on their parfage from Is Plata to Spain, all tidily laden. It would indeed be convenient for our eos in's. to Won the arrival oldie treats*. Aar, ought we to fuffer it ? certainly not. The fame policy that dated the detention of the Dutch vefrels, before that power had abfolutely declared the part it was bound to take in the war, calls loudly on Miniflers to follow a fimilar line of conduet refpeeling Spain—and the country looks for it. This is not a time for danger ous civility. There certainly could be no harm in conducing there veffels into Britifh ports, and detain. ing them till the intentions of Spain be declared. We have received the Paris Journals to the 25th inclufive. The Monisear of that date prefents our !aft Budget, accompanied with a comment drawn up in the ufual Confular flyle. Our Readers will not fail to obferve, that in this prodation, the tax upon income is reprefented as a tax on the Funds. For this idea, however, it is but fair to confefs, they were in debted to a blunder of fome of our contemporaries, who at Brit viewed the tax in that light. PARIS, JUNE 24.—The FIRST CONSUL fet out yef terday for the Departments of the North. He will reach Amiens on Saturday evening.—Moniteur. The Moniteur gives a Statement of the receipt and expences of Great Britain for the year 1803, accord ing to the fall budget of the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer. The different articles are accompanied with remarks by the French Editor ; and the whole is in troduced by the following obfervations 6. We Shall here give the budget which was prefent- 1 ed by the Minifters to the Englifh Parliament. It requires no (mall degree of fagacity to difcover the real Situation of England amidft the forms and ob fcurity under which it purpofely envelopes itfelf. The reafon will there be ken why this Nation has been at length induced to tax the 'ltalic float! a nieafure which may be claffed along with that which authori fes the Bank to fofpend its payments in calls. There united meafures are the cries of diftrefs, and the in fallible precurfors of bankruptcy. 41 In 1802, the Eoglifh Paid; that thirty-five years of peace would be neceffary to pay off the national debt; and yet in 180 3 they have been Co inconfide rate as to kindle up the flames of war, under frivo lous pretences, and without any real motive, imagin. ing, no doubt, that they will always be able to termi nate it at a prciper time. We (hall here exhibit their Situation, fuch as it was eftablithed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer before the war. During the late war they increafed their expences 13 millions Sterling, from 1793 to 1802, as is proved by the annexed ftatement—expences which cannot be leffened without many years of peace and profperity. [Here follows a Statement of the receipt,and ex peaces of Great Britain for the year 1803, according to the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. —The Monireur then gives the amount of the ex pences relishing from the Increafe of the public debt of England from 1793 to 1803, and the produa of the duties granted to pay the intereft till the sth of January, 180 3 , with the following comment.] 4 , The eStimation ofthe duties granted daring there ten years was 13,557,6681. the deficit was 774,2911. the deficit on the laft year deferves the molt ferious atten tion.—This year was a year of peace, and yet the de. cit *as 5,20 5 , (tool. Reding). Some politicians have thence concluded that the date of profperity to Eng land is a Rate of war, and that in peace the expendi ture of this power is far below its income. If this confequence be jot we ought to deduce from it ano ther confequence of great importance, and very un fortunate for Europe and for England itfelf ; which is, that it is neceffary for the general repofe, to ex clude fi om all continental affairs a power which is never in a ffourifhing Rate, but when others are tor mented by the fcoorge of war; and that the focial (Late of tngland, is in regard to other countries, deftrudive even of the objet of Society, which is peace. Let us believe that this nation, which has been rendered illuftrious by fo many wife men, and fo many real philofophers, will give up a clodtine, which though it might be ufeful to it for Tome time, would at length infallibly involve it in the univerfal ruin. " If the ambition and avarice of one power could dillurb the whcle globe, without being attacked in thole places where it carries its tyranny. it would be a happinefs for the world that there &odd be near it another power capable of checking that ambition and avarice." ( In this paragraph we fuppofe the author of the article alludes to our poffellions in the EaR.) The Mosher► alfo contains the following obferva titins upon his Majelly's Me(rage refpeding the de• claration of war againfl Holland If his Britannic Majelly had ailed with regard to the Batavian Republic, as he has ailed with regard to Spain; if, without his having feised on any of the (hips, either of war or of eommerce,.belonging to the Dutch, Holland had, in confequence of the treaties which bind her to France, declared war againil Eng land, England might juilly fay that the calamities of war brought down upon Holland were the confe quences of her connedion with France. But his Britannic Majeßy has.engaged in a war with Hol land, by ads of hollility, on the fame day that he commenced hoililities again& us; and at the very moment when the Meffage of the King of England contained a declaration of war again& Holland, So Dutch (hips were already in t►e Britifh ports, into which they had been carried, not Iff pHvifeers. but by brigs, frigates, and cruisers belonging to the royal navy !—And they will venture to appeal to the opi. aim of Europe, *Me they do not belitats to con mit every ad calculated to excite the jet indignation of all Europe ! Their public law is enough to lhame Tunis and Algiers; but it is worthy of them !" Ju m s as—The fhip Aimable Agathe of Bourdeaur, on her pairage home from Martinico, was taken by the ViCtory, of too guns. The Englifh put on board of the prize (even men, leaving three of the French crew : the latter feized the veffel, made the (even Englifhmen prifoners, and carried the veffel into the port of Gigeon, in Spain. _ _ _ The merchants of Chent have voted the fum of 700,000 francs (30,0001. ficrling) to be employed in conffrufting flat bottomed boats and gun-boats. The Municipal Council of Louvain have offered the fum of 30,000 francs (12501.) for the conftruEtion of a flat-bottomed boat of the arft clafs. The Municipal Council of Bruffels have voted two flat•bottomed boats of the fecond cies. The Mayor of Dunkirk has caufed to be repaired, ornamented, and furnifhed, the molt beautiful edifice in that town, for the reception of the Cuter CONSUL. In cafe BONAPARTE fhould be defirous to infpeet the Rate of that port, and to examine it in perfon as far as the mouth, a barge manned with thirty.fix rowers, all drefled in white, has been prepared for him. The city of Turin has opened a fubfcription for building and fitting out a frigate of 40 guns. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. FALMOUTH ? JUNK 26.—Sailed the King George packet. Capt.
