fOund, on his part, to give the flighted oppofition to any meal - we which it fhuuld appear wife to adopt. Mr. Wizx tram fitid, that he certainly had oh ferved, with the deeped reluaance, many Ali& ingindances of wretchednefs of the poor in Ireland, ruch as delcribed by the Hon. Member who in troduced this fubjet ; and no man more fincerely withed than he did, that fome adequate remedy was pradieable, confidently with the circumftan ces under which Ireland was placed with regard to this country ; under the articles of the union, by which he feared, without fome new modifica tions of thefe articles, it would be impraflicable for the Government of the country to bring for- ward officially any meafure chargeakle at the pub lic expence, for relief of the poor in Ireland. By the articles of union, as they now Rood, the public and local expences of Ireland were partly charge able on Great Britain. He believed that a charge for the maintenance of the poor of Ireland, which was a charge by no means comprehended nor contemplated under the articles of union, would hardly he relifhed by the pe 'pie of this country ; and he doubted whether a feparate tax could, un der thefe articles, be levied on Ireland. In (bort, ' ,it was a fubjed fo new to that Houfe, and of fuch importance, that no proceeding could or ought to be adopted upon it, however defirable, without the fulled deliberation, and the molt ample afGa ance from thole Members who were locally inter. efted, and who were the molt competent to throw the' fulled light on the fubjet. For this purpofe, in the prefent indance, there was not time ; nor did he fee how any provifion could be appropriat ed for the purpofe, unlefs it was to be from any furplus over and above the public exigencies of the country, which might remain in the Treafury of Ireland for the year current, and which the Go vernment might be enabled to appropriate for the purpofe propofed. General TARLITON, while he was convinced of the earned difpofition of Lord Hardwicke, and bis Government to do every thing which was prac ticable for a purpofe fo truly defirable, yet was fully of opinion with the Right Hon. Gentleman who lad fpoke, as to embarraffing difficulties that mull attend the adoption of any procedure on the fubjea, without the fulled deliberation. The Refolutions to which the Houk had jult given its afrent, had they been sent, and now offered for the fief time, certainly would not have paid with fuels facility and promptitude ; but they were old and eflablithed grants, long fettled by the Parlia ment of Ireland, and had each undergone full in. veftigation in their original progrefs; betides that, they were finally confirmed under the aft of union. Any new grant of the like nature ought not to be adopted without the fulled deliberation. Mr. Bac ws LL raid, his views by no means went to any very enormous grant. Hiiobjed was mere ly a boufe in each parifh or diftria. for theriwoep tion of the lick poor—to which a fum of cool. in each might be fufficient ; and the Grand Jury of the feveral counties might be empowered to levy a futficient fum for the purpofe locally. Mr. S rofe to put an end to the conver • ration. by reminding Members of the Tuition be fore the Houk, to which the converfation was not relevant. The remaining Refolutions were then put and agreed to. They were afterwards referred to the Committee of Ways and Means..--Adjourned.

Castle of Eschangc—Roblin on London is. LA night we received P.tris journals to the Atli intl. inclufive, and this morning a Dutch Mail arrived. The Monist& contains accounts from St. Do r:lt-Igo down to the middle of December, which, ''laugh they mention an advantage gained by the French, in driving the Blacks from Fort Dauphin, tend, on the whole, to confirm the fears that have been entertained for the ultimate Ate ofthecoateft. —The Negroes made an attack of thirteen hours on Lengane, and were repulfed, but they burnt •he plantations. On the oSth Noflmber they at. :aciced, and kern to have nearly carried by fur ;wife the Mole. The Blacks every where, whether n the French (rvice or on the plantations, pro mote the interefls of the infurgents. It is evident F. om the accounts that not one of them in the Mole c -Ad be trußed. The fuperi, , r arength and (=elks of the infur- Irma roe may calculate, fince they vined and kept poaTrl on r.f Fort Dauphin, near the Cape, a place not only •tlertial to the fafety of Cape Town, but Oat key to the Eaft, till the French received a rein :c r;:ment of five or lx thoufand men from France. But though the French are ht poffefflon of the chief towns on the coati, it is more than ever ma nifell that the Blacks are in poreffion of the whole of the interior of the country, and that there is little likelihood of their lofing it. The horrible Dories of drowning the Blacks by hundreds and thoufands can fcarcely be doubted, when we read in thefe letters, now ti anflated from the Paris Papers, that the French in St. Domingo " deal no longer in half meafures with the Blacks, who have neither mercy or pardon to expel!;" and that the Blacks " wounded in the attack on the Mole, were put to death !"—*-This war of ex termination is worthy of the Hero of Jaffa, at which place, Sir ROBERT WILSON'S book lays, the prifoners had neither mercy or pardon to expea, and that the wounded were put to death. But for a war fo glorious to the French arms, the Moniteur officially affures us no lets than fixty thoufand veteran foldiers have offered their Cervices, adding that the CHIEF CONSUL declines accepting them, the 15,000 who lately failed being fuflicient.— This very fine flourifh is fomething like the (tory of the Fox and the Grapes. It is well known that the French army di(likes the idea of going to St. Domingo, and the Paris Journals have conftantly informed us of the bounties offered for recruits, and the pains taken all over France, to fecure troops for St. Domingo. The repeated notices of this kind in the Journals, thew that thefe pains have not been attended with fuccefs. The fituation of Guadaloupe is defcribed to be very fatisfaftory. A letter from Vienna contains a flatement of the motives which led to the abolition of the Aulic Council of War. The defeels of that abfurd inili tution have long been witneffed by Europe and felt by the Auflrian Monarchy. The French Funds are 58 f. 6o c. It appears by various letters from Ratifbon, that the convention between the Auflrian and French Governments refpeding the Grand Duke of Toll cany's Indemnities, will occafion fome difcuffion. The Eledor of Bavaria is dilfatisfied with it, in afmuch as it encroaches upon the portion of territory which he was to obtain. It appears, however, that Count MA ILCOFT, at Paris, has ratified the Convention ; which probably, there fore, mull have been previoufly fuhmitted to the approbation of the Cabinet of Peterfburgb.— It is Rill very generally believed, that the acqui efcence of the EN P [ROI in the encroachments of France in Italy is the condition on which the GRAND Du KR has fecund advantages beyond the original fchcme. There is a report la the Italian Papers, that unlefs the Britifh troops immediately evacuated Malta, French troops were to march to Naples. It is by no means improbable that the French would employ fome method of this kind to com pel us to abandon their defined prey. We do not believe, however, that any fueh meafure is in con templation. Naples is too nearly eonneifted with the Imperial family to be at this moment attacked. There will be no Levee this week, but onThurf day her MAJIIITT will have a Drawing room. The Duke and Duchefs of Yoax were laft night in the Prince of WaLls's private box at Covent- Garden Theatre. The performances were The Cashinet and Animal Marseifren. Yellerday morning, at nine o'clock, his Royal Highnefs the Duna of CUMBIRLAND breakfa(led with his MAJRATT, at the Q2een's Honfe.

The company prefent were, the Marquis and Marchionefs of &tramway, Marchionefs of BATH, Lady GBORGIN• CACIL Earl of MORTON, Counters of CAROM/LW, Counteis AYLIIRRURY, and a number of other Nobility. Card tables were laid fur thofe who chafe to play. The Marehionefs of Sactuttrav arrived in Ar. lingtonAreet from Hatfield ye flerday,for the feafon. Ye(erday the Earl of Daast.sy arrived at his houfe in Berheley-fquare. The Earl and Countefs of Sr. Vnsciar arrived in Town yeilerday from their Seat, near Brent- wood.

Yefterday morning the BA T of London gave away at his houfe in St. James aquare. two cart loads of potatoes to the poor inhabitants. of the parifh of St. James's. A very revere accident happened a few days lime to Captain Was'. of the Nast'. He was fencing with his Fencing Mager, when the latter making a ilrong lounge, the foil broke through the maik, and breaking, the fplinter piece entered his mouth, and penetrated his throat, lacerating his neck in a very dreadful manner. He has been delirious ever fince.and it is feared the accident may produce the 'Loa ferious confeqncnccs. TRI,ILS FOR HIGH TREASON. S:ECIAL COMMIS.SION. NEW SESSIONS-HOUSE, IN THE BORMIGH. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1803. The Court returned its fitting at nine o'clock this morning, and the Prifoners were brought up and put to the Bar, viz : John Francis John Doyle John Wood James Sedgwlck Wrattan Thomas Phillips William Lander Thomas Broughton Ar. Graham Thomas Ncwman Samuel Smith, and amid Tyndale John M•Namara After fifteen challenges by the Crown, and thirty-one by the Prifoners, the following Jury was (worn, viz : GEORGE EVANS, StreathaM JOHN WARING, Ba.ne, 3 RICHAKO SOOTHE?, Bann-Ica 4 ReaLRl I.,VNTON, Burton 5 Jour( I'iioe, Mortlake 6 JOHN BARER, Mortlake 7 JAMES PUILLIPS, Ditto 8 JOHN TRITTON, WalldfWOrth 9 DANIEL LANGTON, Ditto 10 JOHN ARNOLD, Brtlerile/ 11 juitt4 WINTLI, Leatherhead. 12 BARTHOLOMEW El V, Ditto The Indietment recited the fame charges as on the trial of Colonel Defpard. Mr. Armor? opened the Wings on the part of the Crown, and enumerated the counts, and de fcribed the overt acts. The SOLICITOR GENERAL Rated the cafe in a brief and mafterly manner ; giving a fhort outhne of the facts, to which Evidence was defignecl to be brought forward, and the nature of the overt :Leis conftituting the treafon of the prifoners, and he concluded with obferving to the Jury, that if they fhould have any doubts relative to the degrees of g uilt in the accufed, it would be their duty to make a diftinition ; and he was confident, that in doing fo, they would aft confonant tojuftice, and the dictates of their own confciences. The evidence was then entered into, which, by the prohibition of the Court, we cannot detail in this Qage of the bufinefL With a laudable delicacy, and regard to moral appearance, it is thought that Wm. Francis will not be brought forward in the profecution of his Brother. The Prifoners did not appear agitated ; and, one excepted, their drefs accorded with the mean nefs of their condition in life. LIEUT. COL. ELLIOTT. We are happy to fay, that the paragraph, co pied from a Morning Paper, which [hied that the above Gentleman was dead, is altogether untrue, as will appear by the following good-natured Card from the Colonel himfelf:— a lima, Feb. 7,11103. " Lieut. Col. ELL:or?, of the King's Dragoon Guards, will thank the Editor of the STAR to bring him to life again, as he finds by the Satur day's Paper that be died of a paralytic aroke." The Empalme of Russia has given orders for equipping two wire!' to fail in a few weeks on a voyage of difcovery. The objea of this voyage is particularly to make difcoveries on the Northern coals of Afia and America. We underhand that Colonel Defpard continues Hill to be as unaffelted with his fituation as during his trial. His indifference teems to have grown with the determination of his fate : his fpirits are become lighter ; and Mr. Ives, the Goaler, has very properly adopted the precaution of placing a perfon in the room along with him, apprehenfive that he might attempt to avoid fome portion of imagined ignominy, though he cannot fly from the guilt, which the judgment of his Country has confirmed upon him. The following are the exalt particulars of the burning down the plaphoufe at Daventry on Fri day la& The play that evening was to be The Heir at Law (befpoke, and a full houfe expeeted). Providentially none of the performers were come I to drefs, nor any of the audience afrembkd.— About five o'clock, Mr. RICHARDS, the Manager, went into the Ladies' dreffing-room, previous to opening the doors, and found it in flames, a coal having dropped upon the mat, and communicated to the canvas which lined the walls of the building, which being a thatched barn, the whole was loon in a conflagration; and, before any aftance could be given, it was entirely confumed, together with the fcenery, dreffes, &c. of Come confislerable value, the property of Mr. WATSON. The building and the carpenter's property who erclted the 'nage, boxes, &c. were infured, and alfo the theatrical apparatus; but it is imagined not to the value dellroyed. - - I .
