Lord HOIIAIIT prefented the following MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY. 01 GEORGE R. * His PirtAJZSTT Widish nen:Cary to acquaint the Houfe of Co.siness that u very confide:rabic Military Preparations are werysni on in the Ports of France and Boland, he has judged It espeallent to adopt additkoal aseafores of Precaution far the Security of his Doll2lolotll.

Lord HOBAN T moved, that M A Maje,ly's ITIOR tltncioui Mcfragc be taken into confideratitei to morrow, and that their Lordfhips be lummoned on the occalion ; which was ordered accordingly. Lord HONART then moved the firll reading of the Prince of Wales's Annuity Bill, which being read, he obferved, that the relpett which he, in common with all their Lordthips, mutt feel for she illullrious Perfonage who was the objea of the Bill, would have induced him to propofe an early day for the fecond reading of the Bill ; but he re gretted that the effect which a recent dometlic mil fortune muff naturally have upon the attendance of his Noble Colleague ( Lord Pelham), would, on that account, eonfirain him to defsr a motion for the fecond reading of the Bill till Monday next. No fu' Cher buboes being before the I look, an adjournment took place. HOUSE OF COMMONS. 1 General Fa taro PI wainscoted from any :iierdser attendance on the Coe - cosy Eketion Committee, in co:Sequence of the , death of big relation, the Doke of Bridgewater. Several Members had leave of abfcticc in confequence of in. difpo&ion. A Petition was pretested from the Chemin. , and Droggifts of Barone*, wind the Medicine Act.--Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. VAIIIIIITTAIT =Wed, that the accounts of the Ships be. longing to the ports pf London and Liverpool. for the laR three years., diftinurfhing each year, up to the soh of January left, be laid before the Houfe.—Agreed to. Sir kitten MILPANKE brought up a Report, Rating, that the Seledt Committee appointed to try the merits (Attie Bridge water Elcdtion, bad declared Jeffery Allen and John Pocock, Efgr_s. to be duly eleCted for the Paid Borough. MLISAAC HAWKINS BROWNS brought up a Report from the Nottingham Committee, Rating, that Frederick Shuttle worth had been called as a witnefs before the Paid Commit tee, and that be had been found guilty of wilful preYari•ation, in confcquence of which, the Houk ordered him into the cuf tody of the Serjeant at Arms. Several Road and Inclofure Bills paired through their diffe rent Rages. Petitions from Gtafgow aril other places were prefinted &gelid the Scotch Cotton Manufadurers' Regulation Bill, and referred to the Committee en the fecond reading of that Bill. Lord W. Russet'. brought up the Southwark Paving Bill, which was read a Mit, and ordered to he read a fecond time. A Perron from the Infpeetor Gsnetal's Office prefented Ac counts of the Imports and Exports, which were ordered to he printcd for the ufe of Members. The kith Maiming and Cutting Bill was read a fecond time, and committed to a Committee of the whok Houfe. On the Motion of Mr. VAus:l TACT. the Land Tax Bil! was poßponed to this day fortnight. The Report of the Committee to whom the Coroners' Peti- Pion was referred, being brought up. Mr. By No moved for leave to brine in a Bill, the purport of which was, to grant an additional Income pa the Coroners of the different Counties in this Kingdom. After a few words from Mr.lllc Kt Nom, leave was granted to bring in the Bill. The Order of the Day being read for going into a Committee upon the Cuftoms Bill, Mr. Coeur raid, that he wifhed to fubmit a few words upon this fubjea to the Houfe. When he gave notice of his intention of bringing forward this fubjedt, he had endeavoured to convey his in tention in the moll clear and Mina manner in his power ; but he found that Tome Gentlemen had unfortunately miltaken his intention. He found that whatever were the words in which he had given his notice, yet ,it was underßood; that in the fchedule of duties, nothing new was to be in • troduced, but that it was to te reftriaed entirely to the old Duties, and that no additional Duties of any fort were to be propofed. He hoped he (hould never in the difcharge of his Parliamentary duty, be found dircuMng the aria meaning of the words of a notice which he had given, or whether the notice was correaly underftood or not, he Ibould upon all occafions do that which he now propofed to do, viz. aa not upon the aria meaning of the notice, but upon the manner in which that notice was underftood by the Houle, for nothing would hurt him more than that any Member of that Houle, or that any man out of doors could fay, that the notice be had given did not warrant the proceedings that afterwards took place. The al. terations which had been made were minute to that degree that they hardly deferved the notice of that Houfe, but to prevent all difference of opinion, be fhould propofe, except in the cafes of which he fhould give notice, to reduce all the Duties to what they were laR year. The additions which he had propofed to make. were not for the purpores of revenue, but merely for the purpofe of regulation. He had Rated to the Houle the alterations which he had propofed to make re- Ipeaing the Duties upon Licences, and he wifhed only to add, that the alteration was fuggefted to him by the Commillioners of -Excite in Ireland, but certainly with no view whatever to Reve nue. He fhould, however, in all cafes where there were any additional Duties, propofe to re duce them to what they were before his Motion. He (hould obferve the fame principle with regard to Drawbacks ; fo that the fyftem would be the fame as Tome Gentlemen underllood it would be from his motion. He %riffled, however, to be un derftood, that with regard to theregulations which had been made refpeeting the ad , aarene duties and the rated duties, he did not conceive them as com ing within the objeaion which had been made, he should therefore propofe that they fhould remain as they Rood in the Bill before the Houfe, particu larly ai they were adopted merely for the conve nience of the merchant. But if there fhould have crept into the Schedule any error or miftake, he fhould be moll happy, if it was Rated to him, to cornea it ; at prefent, however, he was not ap prized, nor did he fufpedt that any fuch error exilled. Having Rated thus much, it would be necellary for him to move to poßpone the Com mittee on the Irith Cußoms Duty Bill, and to move that the Houle fhould to-morrow refolve itfelf into a Committee upon the frith Duty Bills. With • regard to the Committee on the frith Cullom: Bill, he fhould move to poßpone the Committee upon it till Thurfday. Mr. Las rore, to respell that the Right Hon. Gentleman, inflead of making the Duties perma nent, would only now propofe them for one year; that would give ample time to confider the fubjeet, and he might next year propofe to make them per manent. At prefent he conceived that Gentlemen had not had tufficient time to confider the &kW); the statement of which occupied 107 pages of chore print, and they had only been one day upon the Table, before the Hoofs were called upon to make them permanent. In that flatement there were many calculations, and however corral the Right Hon. Gentleman might be, yet he, like other men, Was liable to error : he thought, therefore, that tome time should be given to invefligate the rub. jeft. This was a great financial alteration, and one that would not be proposed with regard to England, without ample time being given for consideration : he hoped, therefore, the Houle would adopt the lime line of condigt, with re gard to Ireland. Mr. CORRY raid, that the Houk ulna be aware that this was now the third Seflion in which he had given notice of his intention of making a perma nent provifion for the permanent charges of Ire• land; and he should have thought bimfelf deficient in duty if he had not brought forward a propofi. firm of that kind. Whether the Honk would con cur with the Hon. Gentleman, in wifhing that the Duties should at prefen; be only continued for one year, it was not for him to decide. It weld be I (efficient for him to ftate now, that the propet time to propofe any alteration of that kind in the Bal, would be on the Report of the Committee. He fhould therefore decline laying any thing further at prefent in anfwer to what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman. With refpea to himfelf, he bad no objea upon earth in the propofal be had made, except the difcharge of duty ; and, therefore, If any ground were laid before the Honk tp induce , them to think that the Bill for making thole Du ties permanent ought to be pollponed for another year, there was no reafon why he Iheuld objea to it. He wifhed, however, before he gave a decid ed anfwer, to have an opportunity of confulting with perfons for whole judgment he had the high eft opinion. Mr. CANNING was of opinion, if there were new calculations upon there Duties, that proper time Should he given to examine them. • The Committee on the Bill was then put off till I'hurfday. It was ordered, that the Houle fhould to-mor row refolve itlelf into a Committee on the Irifh Duty Bills. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHrctpu appeared at the Bar and delivered a Meffage from his Ma -1 jelly, to the fame offal as that delivered in the Houle of Lords. The Meffage having betn read by the Speaker, The CFIANCILLOR of The EXCHEEUIER faid, he (hould at prefent abllain from making any refe rence to the fubjea of the Meffage which had jufl been read, he (hould content himfelf with moi ing that his Majelly's Madge (hould be taken into confederation to-morrow.—Ordered. The other frith Duty Bills then went through Committees, and the Reports were ordered to be received to-morrow. • In the Committee on the Irifh Poft Office Bill, Mr. CORRY laid, that the regulations of Members Of Parliament were contained in a Special Privilege Bill, and of courfe the Privileges of the Members of both parts of the United - Kingdom were the fame. In Ireland, the privilege of Members with refpea to Letters hitherto extended to two ounces; in this country only to one. The privilege in Ire land was now made the fame ax in this country. Colonel BAGWELL Paid, he was glad to hear what the Right Honourable Gentleman had flat,- ed, becanfe he wifhed to fee the two Countries affimilated as Much as pollible. Adjourned at fix o'clock.

Aim 9-46 Various, contradiaory, and unfounded rumours have been circulating for thefe two days paR, the real caufe for the depreciation of the Funds has however at length been made public. Another fait hullo dikovered, which fome, and we confefs ourfelves to be of the number, would nos have credited without feeing it—that even under our prefent adminißration, whole prudent fecrecy has been fo much the fubjett of panegyric, Cabinet fecrets have been allowed to tranfpire, which fome men knew how to turn to their own advantage at the expence of the public. The Maage from the Throne communicated to both Honks of Parliament fail night (which we could only infert in a part of our impreffion) explains the caufe of the great and hidden fall of the Funds. It informs Parliament, that the prepara tion, which are ping as as the Port, of France and Holland require additional Iseveastiew, though the prep ratiocu in quyion are r4irienteif by thsFratch Govern nstnt to he intended only for the Colesire ; and that certain ifiliiiions are now flnyiflig &town hi: Maystrr and the French Government, the risk of which it =certain/ That great warlike preparations were making by France, we announced fome time ago, and , repeatedly ; and, even after our ftatesnents had been honour ed with what might be confidered as an Official contradiction in the Honk of Com. mons. We knew our information was derived from feurces not to be called in queftion, and we cautioned Minifters not to ref too confident. ly ckp their intelligence. Need we add, that the event has confirmed the correanefs of our Rate. ments, and juftified the fears we expreticd at the time ! On the Metfage we tall Cay nothing at preen", as it will be taken into confederation by both lloufes of Parliament this evening. It is a duty, however, which we owe to the Public to put them in poffeCGon of all the information we can, refpea ing the proceedings in different Official Depart. ments, which fecm at all to be conneeted with the fubjeti of the Mettage. We have already announced that a Cabinet Council fat On Monday, at which matters of great moment were ditculted. The Mcffage to Paths. ment was then determined on, and the meafures to be immediately retorted to in the dif.i cut rk partmcnts of the Public Service. An Admiralty Board has been fitting to a late hour every day fence Satirday, at which Earl St. Vomits'. prefides. In the interim, Lord Nittoi had a lonrintereiew with Earl ST. ViIICIII T at hi honk in the Admiralty on Monday. Orders were fall night difpatched to Chatham to get ready for fea, as quickly as poffible, ever) (hip at that place, that can be equipped for fervice. Orders have alfo been lined for the artificers in his Majefty's Dock Yards to work as much extra time as they poffibly can, in completing the re pairs of the (hips of war now in Dock, Ind of thofe ordered into Dock, when there may be room to receive them. We announced ycfterday that orders had been ilTued at Portfmouth for the Captains of every (hip in harbour there to repair to Spithead, with all poffible difpatch. Orders, wearing a fimilar com plexion, have been alfo fent to Plymouth. ' Several Naval Officers who diftinguilbed them. felves in the late war have been fent for to town. The gallant Sir Tirora•s Boman* THOMPSON, who loft a leg in the Bar.t.ori a, in the battle at Co. penhagen, is among•the number.• Among other meafures refolved on at the Ca. binet Council an order was figned for a general prefs of feamen for the Navy. Laft night th,:, order was carried into effed, and a great number of prime feamen were imps effed—many, however, entered voluntarily. This augurs well for ti.c fervice, fhould a war prove unavoidable. Indeed, after the numberlefs laurels reaped by our brave tars in the late war, it need excite no wonder to fee them entering voluntarily to defend and main. tam the honour and independence of their coun. try, Ibould their fervices prove indifpenfible. The men firft impreffed have been ordered to be fent to man fuch Chips as are at Deptford and Woolwich, to expedite their getting to the Nore. Preis warrants were iffued generally this day. and fent off to the different ports, fo that we may loon cape& to hear of a great body of feamen being provided for the navy. The number impreffed on the river fine laft night is reported to be up wards of aOOO. The HOUND floop of war has come up from Deptford to the Tower, to receive the impreffed men. The meafures that have been adopted to vindi cate our national dignity by an appeal to arms, if neceffary, have not been confined to the Naval department only. Orders have alfo been ;Toed to increafe the Army; and, to facilitate this objea, his Royal Highaefs the Duke of You has inti mated to the proper Officers his Majefty's corn mind, that the flandard for the Recruits that may be hereafter enlifted for the Infantry of the Line than be reduced to five feet five inches; that the levy-money for men of that height 'hall bt railed to fix guineas, of which the men are to re. ceive five guineas in money and neceflaries ; and that the levy-money for boys for general fervice (tall be railed to four guineas, of which they are . to have three guineas in money and neeeffaries. Nor have the orders iflued to the military and na val Commanders in his Majefty's fervice been con• fined to our immediate Coatis. Difpatches have been fent to Portfmonth to be forwarded to the Mediterranean. The nature of the difpatches hat not tradpired ; but, judging from the aleafures I adopted in all the home departmeits, there can be I i ttle.rioubt that they contain orders to give up no. thing that may Rill be in our poikffion, till the Commanders receive (relit inflruelons from Bri tain ; for it would be abfurd, when the poffibility of a ftefli rupture is admitted by his Majefiy's Menge, to put ourfelves into worfe ciltumflatees than we adually are, by any voluntary aft of one own, till the matters under difcuffion be brought to an ifue, In the frigate which is to carry out theik IRA patches, Capt. DODD, Aid du Camp to his Royal liighnefs the Governor of Gibraltar. goes out again to that Garrifon. He carries with him difpatehes to his Royal Higbnc the Puke of KIDT. The 'matures which we have juR been amain'. have had the effeEt to deprefs the Stocks very con• fulerably this day. At one time 3 per cent, Con. Cols were as low as 6af for money : at one o'clock they were a little better, fay 64. Onsnium in the morning was at 16 pet cent. difcount ; at one o'clock it was 131. It is impoffible, in the nature of things, but that a confiderable degree of alarm muR be excited by the prefmt hoftile afpea of public affairs ; but the meafures that have been adopted may ultimately prove the belt means of prat - crying peace. To enter farther into the queßion, before waiting the dif eui4on of his MAJCSTY'S Meffage, would be im proper. We have taken proper pains to pet our Readers in poffeffion of every fad that has been Coffered to traufpite, and they need no comment from us. Another Cabinet Coma fat this day for a eonfiderable time. Nothing was [offered to tram fpire. His Excellency the French Minißer bad s long interview yefterday with the Right Hon. the Lea, MATOI.
