Ile cOndc cleiri with recorntriending the question strong ly to the consideration of the !louse, as a moat important and senores subiect of national policy. Mr. SAMUEL THORN'r ON contended that the contract between the Bank and the Govern ment was, on the fullest evidence, a mutual bene fit. These was tuuell strew laid apna the profits of the Bank, with reference to Cie vidends and the management of the national debt; but it was at the seine time forgotten, that the duties of that body were of w Des-lens and respon !Stile nature ; and he believed, on a review of their exertions, there could be found no persons wore inclined to do their duty to the country, and to the interests of the Batik P;oprietrits. Mr. Hvesisson defended the propriety of tieb arrangement. Mr. Tanastkom. Lord Herat pErry, and Mr. Sintnuten, thenzii differing as to mirtictilare l agreed in the main principle of the bargain.

We annontscei, yesterday, the arrival of the Massa frigate at Plymouth, from Madeira ; she has bemagist home six liAht transports, the same that took out the troops to that island. The &tai ga' belga intelligence, that on tier passage the *II in with the Amethyst {Amite, Captain Surleet/it, from which, she received information, that *e the preceding day the *leapt had fallen %wit% two /roach frigates, and had k.pt them eempany fog/ emend boors, but lest them in the night ; the jay before she fell fit with them she spoke the Emserfsid frigate, also on a cruise. The &enmities, of the French frigates is of course unknown. We have received some American Papers, but none of a later date than those preciossly arrived. They relate to the late embargo. We seabed, ins former Paper, that His Mites- Tv has given 20,0011. out of the sum derical from choirs of Actiniralty, to Ins bt.cral Highness the Duke of Vote. This is not the first sans granted to one of the Phases from the yams ettatca. The account, we believe, stands thus:— Date or time Limo° Inikt of Conimaaan 0 woos Dose of $210005 20.003 !puke of rukarccs tee ono Duke 0110VOSITSR Imo° Iherrese orsrstas 20,000 Dar of 101111. The nature of these droits of Admiralty is very well undo 'stood. They arc the produce of cap tures made by enterprising individuals previous to the issuing of letters of morgue and reprisals against the enemy, and which tim law sad the con mitution have vested in the Crown as 'distinct and substantive rig h t. Ii• them the Klee poems the produce, it may be asked, where is the temptation F to the individual to risk the exposes and danger. of the capture' The answer is anions ;it is usual for the captor to petition for compeusation, and for Lim bareceive two-thirds, one-half, or a third, se cording to the eitramstances of the case. It is of coarse only the residue that goes into the Ktso's eon's; and. therefore, the argument, that this mosey is the produce of the exertioas of the pub lic, mad, as such, ought to be applied to the public service, is not strictly correct the public, that is, the subject, having received a price fat his la bour. Three droits of Admiralty being then the undoubted property of the Crown, the Crown has a right to dispose of them at pleasure ; and surely, if an act of liberality horn a father to his son, in private life, be not of necessity an tins orthy use of his money, it cannot be deserving of censure in the case of the Sovsattox. This aegum•uts how ever, proves more than is necessary ; for the Mem bers of the Royal Family are not the only partici pators of His 111siterr's bounty, derived from this fund. The sum so applied is inconsiderable, com pared with that bestowed upon the public. His bi Al MT, front this source, lately gave 1,000,0001. to the public se-vice, exclusive of a previous rant of 650,0001. tasking together a rem of 1.650,0001. being more than ten times us murh as he has be stowed, fruit time to time, u,,on his family. It may be seen, in our report of the proceedings in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night. that Sir Passim BunoErr has given notice of a mo tion upon this .per' tic revenue of the Crown. and its application. The previous grants to the mem bers of the Royal Family passed without notice; nod the late rise to the Dike cf YURI( has attract ed public wince, merely because his Rojitl High- near hat been considered a% posessing aanare am ple provision than any other of the Royal Dukes, and the preoent is a nintuelit of severe and heavy pressure upou the people; schen, if Hi s MAJESTY had an; thi lig to ~pare; it. is . et iiecte.l that he would apply it to the purpose of reducing that preemie, and alleviating the burden of the countriy. This area, surest, however, does not touch or affect the right of Ibis ar tare. It is only saying, as might be said u, the case of any man in private life pos v.essing property, that lie might have made a more popular, a more Literal and titter use of it. So far it goes, and no Farther ; and therefore as the right is undonbted, we cannot presume that Sir FRANCta BURDEIT means to controul Ili, MA- JiSTV in its uppliention. The object, therefore, of Sir FRANCIS lie worn, as he stated lust night, is to ascertain the amount of this pat. ticular fund ; and if it shall appear that the protlnee of these droits of Admiralty is enor mous, and greatly exceeds any thing that could or have been in contemplation at the origin of this right, itmey then bc, leitt every other extraord:aary or unforeseen case, 6 proper subject - fur the interference of the Legislature. Of the Particular amount in the present reign, tewiltattnott form any idea, but it must have been much greater than in any previews reign, and infinitelyAreater, within the lust t 5 years, than in any equal space of time since the foundstino of the English Monarchy. in former reigns there hose been long intervals of peace; but the present reign has been little inure than a anceession and'extension of wars. England within the last dfteen years, declared war against every maritime state in Ronnie, and twice againWFrance ; and ns it is very well known that the Activity of speculation has, in must of these M iasmas*, taken greatly the start of the letters of filarque and reprisals, the produce of the drat, af Adrniralty must have increased is proportion. The public cannot be surprised at Lord Hoy aittssos's anxiety, tkat his official letters end eons antniceticlas should not he misrepresented or di.- toiled. It is a latrialde and natnralfeeling. dal Lardallip K.man of a nice renae of honour, and h as g high public character to maintain. lie has a character to maintain. .it only in his own coun try, but upon the Chiniessit.
