Some of the Agents concerned in this nefarious business have had the auda. city to state, that this upstart Paper is vir tually Tut STATESMAN, under a different name; and some unwary persons have actually been imposed upon by such misrepresentations. Bribes have also been offered to some of the News Venders to induce them to substitute this new paper for THE Sri ris a.s v; and one of them has been dctected in substituting one paper for the other, against whom an action at law has been commenced, and stands for trial next term.

Lord lior.i.Ann very pro. pod/ brought this subject before the Heusi of Lords, his object being the very important one of restoriaz the whole of the produce of those Ec. clesiAstical Revenues to their PitOrEit. OWNERS, Cie poor Glergg. The ARCHBISHOP of CANTER. DV RY—• " liis fist ACT: comes forward, forward let him come, Ye VULGAK, at your peril, give him room"— His Grace Of CANTER.JURY knocked on the head, by a single blow, the equitable design drily Lord HOLLAND. His Grace must have learnt boxing, mid transferred the science into a de. bate, (a debate among Lords)' or be could never have put in such a complete blow.— . But the best way is, to give our Readers a little history of all this affair of the TENTHS arid Fl KST FRUIiS, and then we shall all see the dexterity of his Gancz's argument. The Aucitutsuor says, he 'Axing taken away a certain ground on which the Noble Baran's Propositions stood, of course they had nothing left to stand on. We mean to see how that is—in truth, we mean to enquire if they do not still stand on the'purity of our Holy Religion ) on the good faith . of man ) and on the Taws which give security to all Property. The Revenues in question, the Twilit:l and FIRST FRUITS due by Ecclesiastical Dignities andllc. ueficett in England and Woks., were, by the Act of the 26th of illsenT VII!. (to go no further back than necessary) annexed to the Crown, and by the act of the 2d and 3d of ANN given to the Poor Clergy, as is stated in the following RCSO. lutiutt " Resolved, dthly. That in the Act of 2. and SANNE•e• 11., enabling her Majesty, by her letters patent, ander the Great Seal of England, to incorporate sorb persons, as her MAJE sr Y shall therein nominate, into a body politic and corporate., to have a common seal and perpetual snecession, and to grant to such incorporation, in trust, for the augnientatiou of the maintenance of• tha.Poor Clergy, all the revenues of first frdits, and yearly perpetual tenths of alt dignities, offices, be negacs, and promotions. spiritual whatsoever, payable to her NIAJESTY, her heirs, and successors, by virtue of an Art of Parliament made in the reign of-King Tinnier VIII., it Was declared and etutets.d, that all and every the statutes and prn- visit's's, touching or Concerning the ordering, levying, true an swering, and payment or qualification of the said first fruits and tenths, or tonching the charge, discharge, or alteration Of them, or any of them, or any matter or thing relating thereunto, which were in force at the time of making this Act, shall be, remain, and continue in their full force and effect, and be observed, and put in doe execution, according to the tenors and purports of the same and every of them." Thus far we hive a very plain story ; nor does it, like the plot of a play, afterwards get entangled for the purpose of a clever and happy develope ment. The House of Commons, who have often done well, eamo to the following Resolution, which ought to he recorded in every poor Clergy. man's heart, although little known to them, be cause their education does not lead them directly to that point, and because their occupation leaves them no leisure, but barely to eat the bread they hardly earn. " Resolved itlily, That with a •iew of relieving the dis , tresses of the inferior Clergy, and of avoiding all unnecessary addition to the burdens which a long and expensive war has entailed on his Majesty's People. and n ith due regard to the great increase of the Ecclesiastical Revenues which has token place of late ,years, it appears to thi% House, that the first fruits and tenths, by law appropriated to the augmentation of the maintenance of the poor Clergy, ought to be made more effectual to that purpose, in conformity with the true intent and meaning of the above recited Acts of Pailiament." That Resolution seems as if it had passed last night in the Rouse, fur the apt application of every ►word of it to the present hour. But inde pendent of the resistance which wi.s given to this reasonable proposition in one House, the other we know have something c6e to do than to think of the means of relieving the poor clergy, without adding to the people's burden... To tlo any thing without adding to the people's distresses, is a diffi cult task, anti they have no time for any more difficulties. The proposition, however, is a rea sonable one. Let us see what the ucxt Resolu tion is Resoled Stilly, That a Committee be appointed to prepare an Address to his Majesty, humbly praying that his Majesty wou:J he graciously pleased to appoint Cumtnissionera under the Great Seal, with power and authority as well to examine and search for the true and just value of the said first fruits, by all the ways and means that iiiey "can, as to compound and agree for the same; and tlca hi- Majesty would be grad nasty pleased to command his 1. crd nigh Chancellor of Eng land to direct into every Diocese of Lngland and Wales, Commissions in the King's name, under the Great Seal, to such persons as his Majesty shall name and appoint, com manding and authorizing thesaid Commissioners to examine, search and inquire, by all the ways and means that they can, by their discretioas, of and for the true and just whole and en ire yearly value of all Ecclesiaslical Dignities. and Benefices, and with such deductions as are specified and allowed in the Act of t 6 Ii all V c. 3. and none other; to certify the same to the Chancellor and Barons of his Majesty's Exchequer; in order that his Majesty, with and by the advice of his Parliament, may direct the whole or a part of the tenths payable therefrom, to be levied and ap plied to the relief of the inferior Clergy. and may take such other steps therein, as to his Majesty and his tan Houses of Parliament shall seem just, equitable, a n d expedient. Now this is what my Lord HOLLAND wants ; and how any man cats oppose co fair, so just, antY so necessary a proposition, is a matter of asto. nishment ! We are certainly getting worse than our forefathers were—it is no longer a cry of the Wotp, the Wor,r, but the %VOLE' is here!--- Well, but how is all this answered by his Grace of CANTERBURY ? Oh, here is the Clause?-..here is the pugilistic blow ! He answers with a clause of an Act, and he reasons that a clause of an act is law. No doubt of that ; but let us see how the case stands. The following is the clause his Grace produces against former law, and against reason and humanity. Clause from the Act of the 2d and 3d ANNE, e. 11, being the last clause of the Act. ‘ YE. And whereas four bonds far four half-yearly pay ments of the First Fruits, as the same are rated, and also a fifth bend for a further value or payment, in respect of the said First Fruits, have been, required and taken from the Clergy,to theirgreat and unnecessary burden and grievance." For remedy thereat*. he it enacted and declared by the au thority aforesaid, That from and after the twenty-fifth. day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hun dred and four, one bond shall. in such case, he given or re quired far the four payments of the said First Fruits, which said First Fruits, as well as the Tenths payable by the Cler gy, shall hereafter be answered and paid by them, according to such ratrsand proportions only as the same have heretofore been usually rated and paid : And, no such film bond already Oven shall, front and after the said twenty-fifth day of March, in the year um thousand seven hundred and four, be sued or I recovered. This Clause is not consistent with the meaning and intention of the Act of which it does some- Way happen to make a part. It is not consistent with the intention of her Majesty, nor of her Majesty's advisers, nor of the Parliament invited by the Government (and wisely so invited) to give the poor Clergy al( the Tenths and First Fruits. nut a Clause steal into a Bill by it pious or wicked fraud, vitiating the whule intention of the Act, (hen such Clause is in law as well u reason Tom, and of no EFFECT. " What say you to that, Master DEOGIIFItay ?" And need we say any more ? We will ask any reasonable man, if we need ?—Yet two words more—let special pleading, or what is worse; the pleading of the words of a clause against the spirit of an Att, and against justice and humanity, let that be con. fined to the BAR. There it is no disgrace; fur it is the man's calling mad bread. IV4r4G INTELLIGENG`E. rifitTINOUTII,MAY 29.-6•Arrivel the Goshawke. from a cruise. Sailed the Linnet for lluern,ey with a convoy.

Last Monday night the Duchess of Defoxsoiste gave her first grand rout at Devonshire (louse, which was numerously attended by all the first rank and fashicoi in the west end of the town. Upwards of two thousand cards were delivered on the occasion. EAST INDIA ARMY.—The Bill now in the House of Commons, relative to the raising and billetting men for the service of the East India Company, enacts, that the recruits raised for the service of the Company shall be Whetted, quartered, •and provided for—and that the same allowances be ea. tended to them, and carriages provided for their conveyance, when necessary, as if they formed a part of his Majesty's service ; they are also to be enlisted by his Majesty's Officers, to the number limited by the 39th of the King; new forms of oaths arc to be administered, and they are to he attested before magistrates in the way the King's recruits are attested, and similar certificates of attestation are to be granted.

It is understood that a Tiraty has been in contem plation smile time, and is now about to he executed. be t wcen the Courts of Paris, V ienua, and Petersburgh. for the expulsion Of this Mahoinetan intruder from among the Chris tian nations of Europe. The Couriers that pass and repass continue very frequent, and almost daily. " You have received most probably before this time the Decree published here on the 'Sill. It is not an unexpected blow, and it will be a very serious one. considering the ion meme quantity of American property its this country. As to a mitigation of its severity, you know it is cot to be ex : pected. • " The buz respecting a peace between England and France has, like other unfounded rumours, died :may, and we no more expect it now than we did before it was mentioned." Letters from the Flemish Departments of France state, that a courier. was dispatched from Antwerp by the Escrenoa in person to the Emperor of Russia, with an important communication, sup, posed to relate to their mutual designs for the sub. version of the Ottoman Empire. • From Antwerp we are informed, that by an Imperial Decree, pub lished there, all colonial produce in the towns of Breda, Bergen-op-Zoom, Herzogbusch, and others, ceded to the French, is to be sequestrated and sold immediately. The Director of the D-nianiers of that city addressed a circular letter for this par. pose to the Agents under his orders. We ace happy to learn that a Treaty of:Com merce has been arranged with the Ministers of the PRINCE REGENT at Rio Janeiro. The'stipu. lations were brought over by Mr. llree, who left that capital on the 14th of February. The engagement not being yet ratithel, we cannot state the particulars, but this much we may be allowed to say, from the most satisfactory authority, that this adjustment is likely to be of great utility to both parties. A Lieutenant arrived yesterday morning with dispatches from Sir .411E4 SAUMAREZ. the Com. wander of the British fleet in the Baltic. • It surely is quite proper, in point of consistency, that if the privileges of the House of Cie emons arc to have the King's ATTORNEY-G ENERAL as their Advocate, they should have the Treasury So. licitor as their Attorney. Sir F. Burinerr, it is said, may sign judgment against the SPEAKER arid SERJEANT, because no appearance has been made to the actions by a corn , petcnt person. Fentneeten's.Court is pretty well kept. He begins the day iiith hearing mass; he then break fasts, their hears mass again ; then rides our, and lecterns to dinner ; there is sometimes a third mass. I There arc sometimes concerts. Billiards, and other similar games, serve to fill up the vacancies of a life, which ho complains is very tiresome, and by no means suitable to him. CHARLES IV. has recce. vered perfectly from his late indisposition. Ile amuses himself in the vicinity of Marseilles with his former favourite pursuits of fishing, shooting, &c. His Queen MARIA LOVISA ; his daughter, the late Queen of Eraunta, her son, and the Prince of Peace, lire with him. The pensions guaranteed to them by the Treaty of Bayonne, are very irregularly paid ; and they tulles much inconvenience in consequence. It is rumoured at Paris, that FERDINAND VII. had some time since attempted to escape front his confinement at 'Valencia, butt falling in with some of the numerous parties of soldiers quartered in the country around his chateau', he exce=ed his unsuccessful enterprise, by saying it was merely a prolongation of his ride. Admiral Sir E. PELLEW, Bart. is stated to be going out to takelhe command in dr Mediterranean. Vice-Admiral IVst. Yousc, Commander in Chief at Plymouth, will, it is said, be appointed to the Channel Fleet, vice GAMBIER. Certain it is, that the worthy Admiral is on the'eve of retie. ing from the chief command at Plymouth, in which he will be succeeded either by Admiral BICKERTON or Lord RADSTOCK. The Triumph's boats, after the late hurrkane at Cadiz, picked up near 700 boxes of quicksilver, which, for the purpose of being taken care of, 'were stowed in the different store-rooms and the hold ; but the heat having caused the boxes to crack, several tons of the subtile fluid ran through the ship, and completely salivated the peciple ; upwards of SW of them were shifted into trans. ports ; several of them have lost all their teeth, one man his tongue ; -and many others - are affected in so serious a manner, that it is feared they can. not recover. The provisions also partook of the pernicioris influence of the quicksilver ; and the Triumph is ordered to Gibraltar, to be cleared immediately. Young BETTY, the boy actor, that so long - con. /inked the metropolis with his theatrical clecep. floes, has declined taking orders, as he first in. tended, and purchased a pair of colours in a marching regiment. Ile took no degree at Cam. bridge, where, indeed, he discovered neither ta lent or disposition on which to found a hope that Ile might become a scholar. The pieces of ordnance, to the number of 61, have been removed from the Tower Wharf to Woolwich, and are to be replaced by flew ones.
