Lion of fuch a fyttem, he tisould call, day after day, and the complaint which I had againa his Maie(ly's Mini(lers was, their not having thewn any ctilpoii tion to adopt filch a fyllem. They were placed in a fttuation with terpett to Ireland, on which no Mini flees had ever flood before them. It was now three years fince Ireland had been deprived of her Parlia• went by the meat - tire of union, under which a total change of ly3em had been promiled, but no ftep whatever has been tarn by Miniaers for a purpofe fo indilpenfible to the fecitrity cf the Empire. But if through their reprehen!ible inattention on this ground, ar.y refult injurious to the 'Empire fhould accrue, he would be one amongst the lira of thole to move for their impeachments at the Bar of another Houle. The quellion being put, the Bill w•as read a fecund time, and ordered to be cotnmitted for to-morrow. The Houfe in .1 Committee of Supply, to whom were re ferred the Elliot:Las for Espences of Tranfpurts and Prifoners of War, Sir Pn.

Mr. CORRY moved fur have to bring in a Bill for fufpending a Bill of the IA Seim, relative to the Reftridion of Prontiffory Notes and Bills of Exchange, in Ireland —Leave being given, he prefented the Bill, which was read the hat time, and ordered to be read the fecond time to-mortow. _ _ Mr. Cot ey taro prefented a Bill to continue an expiring Law of the tail SeiSon, for preventing the Exportation of Corn and Pota toes from Ireland, and encouraging the Importation of Provibons.

EIJORD called the attention of the Houk to an im portant alteralon in this Bill from that of the laft year, which took place in a very thin Committee on Saturday Ult. It WAS in fil int up the blank for the duration of the Bill, by the infer:ion of the words, " fie months" after the ratification of the Treaty of Peace, inftead at "Si weeks," which was the time exprcffed In the lift Bill. He did not mean to oppofe the alteration, but felt it his duty to call the attention of the Houk, as it had been made in fo very thin a Committee. The CHANCI LOR of the ESCHZVEII admitted; that the alter atlas alluded to by the Honourable Member, was certainly im portant ; but he trufted the Houk would agree with him that it was alio aeceffary. The former Bill was to expire in fix weeks after the COOCIUfiO4I of a peace, of the continuance of which the Houfe had not then experience ; but upon the experience the Houle now had, he trufted they would agree with him in the policy of extending the period to fix months, efpecially a, the Bill was fo worded that it might be modified as circumftanees Ihould hereafter require; for it might be altered at any time during the prefent &lon, and afterwards, Mould the period of months from the cooelufion of the treaty, under all caifting circunntances, be deemed too long, Parliament if not fitting might be called together an purpofc to repeal the law. Sir Wm. ELVORb acceded, and the Bill was ordered to be en grolfal, and read the third time to-rnorrow.—adjourned. The length et the Debate conftrai•ia us to delay till to morrow La night we received Paris Journals of the 24th and nth ult. Some of the previous dates have not been yet received. It appears by thefe papers, that the Fsasr COKSUL had returned to Paris—of courfe there is no truth in the report from Dover of his hay ing been wounded or killed by the foldicry at Lou. logne. American papers to the 7th ult. have been receiv ed. We have made fome interefting extracts from them. The Prefident's Speech, and the papers re lative to Louifiana are very important. The Jamaica papers received yefterday, contain Cc 'era' interefting artic'es. The Government has pro hibited the intercourfe which was partially allowed between the Negroes and the Englifh MilTionaries, oneof whom, after being imprifoned for feveral weeks, for perfilting to preach to them, has been liberated on condition of quitting the ifland, where another Bliffionary remained under imprifonment. According to thefe papers, Fort Dauphin, in St- Domingo, has capitulated to the Tuissus, of 74 guns. It is Paid, that the garrifon of Aux Cayes had alto offered to furrender, on condition that veffels were fent to hying away the troops. St. Marc's is Sated to have furrendered to the VANCVARD, and that the troops in the town were fent to Cape Fran cois, which likewife was expefted to fill in a very few days, the Freach fiddlers being reduced to an allowance of a plantain and a hail per day. It is Ilea, that the Sparsith C..ptaii.-General at Yutacsn has again demandtd the evacuation of Hoa. duras, sshich tt as of cr,atrf,- again refuted. It is , isith much conceit' we nate, that different people have falLtn victims to the yellow I.;vcr at Ja nusica.—(See our Falmouth letter.) A letter, beating marks of rcliteetahlc autlienticlty, received yen: -day from Pare, rays, that at a Lie audience the Fl F.T CON St/ /TZ.lde a violent /r/garaok (tirade) on the Milliner of the I.:ercron of SA :osr, •e that it was ,eflonithing that a little Prince like his nailer !lava the aadacity to countenance the Count d'E.:HAGUE, a French rebel, to re,de in his capital, and write againa Lim, tl.c Conful, and his Government." That the Saxon Minifter turned to Count MARKOFF, the Ruffian Ambaffador, fay ing , that the perfon in queilion was in the immediate fcr vice of Ruffia; it belonged therefore to him to fattisfy the Conful ; whereupon the FIRST CONSUL Paid, " that there were many bad fubjeas of Ruda who took :qual liberties againit him and his Government." M. Malt KorE inftantly replied—that perhaps he, the Count, was one of the bad fubjeels alluded to; that he would forthwith defile to be recalled ; and in the mean time declared that he would no more affift at the FIRST CONSUL'S audiences, and then withdrew. " I have heard a letter from a perfon of condition and veracity read, who profeffes fentiments inimical to revolutions and ufurpations, which afferts with confidence, that the FIRST CONSUL has written to his Minifler at Drefden, in a ftyle of authority, re quiring the difufe of Britifh goods, and to prohibit their importation into the Eleflorate of Saxony, on pain of incurring his refentment in cafe of difobe dience, which caufed much embarraffinent, and cou riers were forthwith difpatehed to Peterfburgh, Ber lin, and moll probably to Vienna. The Writer con cludes by faying, that, doubtlets, finiilar mandates will be fent to every other Prince in Germany, and be fubmittcd to." Plats, Nov. z4.—The FIRST CONSUL WaS prerent on the zsd at the reprefentation of Ag.tmenmon, where he was received with the fame acclamations which his pretence had excited on the preceding evening at the Opera. It is raid, that the Government has determined not to fubmit to the legiflative fociety during its pre fent feffion any butinefs exceptin the continuation of the civil code, and that the ditcullions upon that of commerce is to be further adjourned. It is, however, believed that Government willies to bring forward the projett of a law to prevent the increafe of fraudu lent bankruptcies. General HAUTPOLT is nominated Commander in Chief of the Cavalry of the Camp of St. Omer. The Prefed 9f the Department of the Lower Seine, being informed that a number of marines and artificers ordered to proceed to Havre bad not obey ed, and that others had deferted, has iffued his injunc tions to the Mayors of the Communes, where any fea men and deferters may be lurking, to point them out to the national gendarmerie, and to affia them by all the means in their power. Letters from Vienna announce the high probabi lity that the Eletloral Dignity will be conferred upon the ArchdukeCumiess ; a meafure which Authiahas much at heart, being alto agreed upon between the Courts of Paeriburgh, Berlin, and the French Go vernment. An article from Stockholm, in the Paris Papers, (fates, that Count WORON ZOW is to leave London to occupy an important place in the department of fo reign affairs at Peterfburgh. This appointment, it is obferved, offers a fingular contrail with the offers of Ruffla for a pacifx mediation. Even the nomination of Mr. W,NDNAM, as Mininer of Foreign Affairs to the Ess taloa of Rossi*, could not be more unlikely to anfwer the purpof-s the Entracia has hitherto avowed, than the above mentioned appointment of Count Woaowzow. An article from Vienna of the t ith nit. mentions, that a Courier arrived there on the gth from Count STAHRIMBERG in London, which accafioned the ra ting of a Council of t.itate. There are good reafons for believing, that the fubjet of its difeuffions was the prefent war between France and England, and that the Cabinet of Vienna has interfered in an amicable way for the adjuflment of thole concerns of the Ger manic Empire, which are in difpute between the two powers. From Copenhagen, November 8, it is Rated, that a Ruffian Officer had jolt arrived there with difpatches for the Ruffian Miniller at that Court, which they were Allred were of very grcat importance. From Peter (burgh, Oftobcr 28, it is aged as cer tain, that the Minilier of War had respelled his dif million. M. von DEDEN, the late Dutch Minifter at the Sublime Porte, has arrived from Conflawinople.— Accor ding to hint, tranquillity is entirely reflored in European Turkey, confidence returned, and commer cial relations renewed in their atiivity. The Otto man hlinittry appeared fatisfied as to the fituation of Arabia and Egypt. The greateß part of Abdul Wechab's army had forfaken him; and the Porte, made wife by experience, feemed refolvcd to take a more aftive part in the affairs of Europe, as well as to pay a proper attention to what is here termed the public opinion. The late exaggerations of the affairs of Turkey are farther confirmed by feveral articles dire& from Coillantineple. An Imperial rc:Cr'pt, very rcmarkable in its cir. citraffinces, has been pi tfr.nted at Ratiflar,n, in which the Emperor capreiles his allonifhment that the Pro. tenant Princes, who have hitherto formed the mino rity in the Diet, Ihc.uld now require a majority of v;,ices. Ilis Majdiy contends, that the Prete:llra. Lave no juR right to expeft a compliant:, as his wifhes are, that the number of Catholics uad Proteflants fhould be equal. He therefore expects that his Co- Oates %mid afford the fame proud nt moderation : but in cafe his hr pes fliculd be fruflrated, be trolls his cotemporaris and polterity 'ill approve of the refolation and fin means svhich his Majefly is deter mined to orpcfe, though with rtgtet, to fuch an in- Loration.

The Hindoflan, SMITH, an American velrel, lately failed from the Elbe fur New York, with cos men, women, and children, paffengers. They are all Ger man emigrants, and for the molt part Hanoverian'. During a gale in the middle of IA week, feven pilots, belonging to the Ifland of Agnes, pealed near the Land'. End. A Guernfey cutter privateer, with a Dutch Eaft India fhip, her prize, approached the Elands, but having loft her rudder, it was not prafticable the day the pilots got on board, from the wind and tide not being fufficiently favourable,' to bring her into either of the harbours, at thefe ;lies; fhe was, therefore, brought to anchor as near as pof fible on the outfide. During the night, the wind became more adverfe, fo that they were copftraiaed to flip or cut; but as each veffel had a pilot on board, the boat, with the other five men, kept there company ; but the gale increafing and Ihifting to a different point, they were all driven off the harbour of St. Ives, (where we hear both fhip and cutter now are in fafety.) The menithen all took the boat with hopes of regaining home, but the weather growing wor.e, and they not being perfealy acquainted with that coati, were obferved from the land all to perith. Pasza Cans R....A very important caufe was roma days fince decided by the Lords Commiffioners of Appeal. It was a claim of joint capture in behalf of tire Royal Admiral privateer, for conftruftive affif tance afforded to his Majelty's chip the Trufty, in feizing the Nancy. a neutral veffel, bound from Ba- tavia to Europe, and laden Dutch property. Againft the claim, Sir JOHN NICHOL contended. ' that there was no inttance whatever. in which a pri vateer had been admitted to the benefit of joint.cap. tore from the mere circumftance of being in fight.... That the Court itfeif had, on a former occation, de. dared, that capture, by conftruCtion, had already been extended beyond the limits of the Aft, and ought rather to be narrontd, and brought within bounds, than allowed a farther extenfion. That in this cafe, there was no previous concert, nor was any actual affiftance afforded to his Majefty's (hip, as in fa& the boat of the Trufty was in poffeffion of tha prize, before that of the Royal Admiral came up.— On thefe groui.ds he contended, that the privateer could not be admitted to those lieu which would have arifen from joint capture. the Attorney Ce ntral followed on the fame fide, and Willed that there was no ground whatever fir afferting the exift. once of previous concert. So far from it. that tha Commander of the 'Crotty, in anfwer to a propofal of offing in coneer t, had declined complying with it. alledging as a reafon, that the Admiral was equally entitled with himfelf; and that he was not compe• tent to treat concerning any right which might sc. true to the Admiral. Dr. LAWRENCE. for the claimants, admitted the extreme importance of this caufe to the Officers of his Majefty's Navy ; but contended that the crew of the Royal Admiral is fully intitled to all the benefits of joint capture. As to the affertion that there was no previous concert, and that there was an athal re fufal of ailing in concert, he obferved that this refufal was grounded on a mere point of delicacy refpeaing the dafpofal of the Admiral's intereft ; for it appeared in evidence, that the Admiral himfelf had difpatched this very 114 with the intelligennce of the prize its queftion, and had directed her to of ft in the capture. 'The refnfal, therefore, could pot invalidate the claim. In reply to the arguments of failure of proof; as to adual alliitance on the part of the privateer, hc quot ed an inftance, in which the crew of et frigate claims(' there of a prize cut out by the boats of a privateer. and on the fame good fortune happening to them hives, refuted a participation of the tame advantages. though the privateer had never been out of tight. He Itrongly urged the maxim that aitual chace has always been conftrued to be atual affiltance ; in this cafe, both Chips were prefent, and both difpatched their boats at the fame Lime. The prior arrival of the Truily's boats was merely accidental, and there fore, be contended, could not vett in her the mitt five benefit wiling from the capture. The judgment of the Lords was referred for the following day, when the allegation for the Claimants was rejeited, but their expences allowed, and the Nancy adjudged to be foie and lawful prize to his Maieity's Ihip Trufty. • bow s .—A Banker's clerk was coma months ago knocked down in Fleet ftreet, and robbed of notes to the amount of near 30001.
