The SPEAKER.—" Repeat what you have said ; is it all that you have to say in your do. fence ?" Mr. Jouss then proceeded to the fdlowiugef. feet - 66 I repeat, that I sincerely lenient, that the printer should have suffered any' inconvenience I•upois my account; and I acknowledge myself to be the author of thatamper. lam fully.aware of the respect due to this Assembly, nor was it my intention, in drawing up that bill, to reflect upon those privileges that ought to remain unquestion. ed, nor to asperse the private character of any Honourable Member; but I du Hot deny, that my object was to submit to a free and impartial dis cussion, the propriety of the public conduct of , public men ; audit, doing so, I was not conscious ' of being influenced by spy principles of innova.: non upon the rights and privileges of this As. sembly: I thought public character to be a sort of public property, and that it was not the least valuable privilege of Englishmen to comment, with freedom awl impunity, upon the official characters of those, who bad been entrusted by them- with the managemeet of their dearest in. ttrests. If, however, with such intentions; I have been inadvertently led into any offence against the privileges of this Assembly, it certainly becomes me, iu the language of suitable submission; to acknowledge the extent of my offence, and having so dune, to throw myself epee the haul gene° of this House. When I first drew up that paper,• I wan pot aware, that I had done more than exercised the indisputable right of a British sebject ; but upon again recurring to it, I find' that I have transgressed beyond those bounds which ought at all times to limit,public comments. ry epee she proceedings of this llouso ; for having doneio, I have to express my concern, and once more to throw myself upon the compassionate in dnlgence of this Assembly, of this House of Corn : mans uf England, which, as a great integral part of the Constitution, has been always with me an ob. ject of u.tiform and unfeigned esteem and regard." Mr, Junes having retired, 'Mr. YOKE then moved, after repeating his former profession of not being interested by any persuual motives, which assurance was warmly cheered front all Parts of the House, that the pa per of which John Gale Jones had confessed himself the author, was a gross and scandalous breach of the privileges of that H .use, which motion was agreed to nerninr co ifradicenle. Mr. YORKE next moved, that John Gale Jones, the author of the slew, be committed to his Majesty's Gaol of Ncwgate.—Ordered. . The Speaker issued his warrant accordingly, - and Mr. Junes was taken to Ncwgate. JOHN DEAN. 4 Mr. YORKE presented a Petition from John Dean, then the custody of the Serjeant at Arms. The Petition having been acknow . 'edging Petitioner's offence, and praying the ele.. Inciter of the Rouse, Mr. YORK.E moved, that John Dean he' now , brought to the bar of the House, in tinier to be discisOrged without paying his leis. Jobe Dean was thbo brought to thi.bar, when the Speaker addressed him to the following effect: " John Dean ; cemplaiot• having been made of a libellsausasaper roi:eting upuu the character of this House and the proceedings of certain of its Members, you, as printer of that paper, was or ' elered to attend and atis wee for that offence—ef that offence you have acknowledged yourself guilty, and stand convicted. of. priuting a gross and scandalous libel upon this House, in contempt of its character, and fit violation of its . priOilegm . —these privileges, upon the dignity and autho rity of which depend the rights, liberties, and privileges of all the Commons of this realm. Nevertheless, the Hausa taking into its corn. passivnate consideration the propriety of your demeanour at its bar; your candour in the unequivocal acknowledgment of your offence ; your professions of ;Jarrow and contrition ; and especiallg, you having thereby affunled them the means of coining at the greater offender and author, of the paper in question—the House, for these reasons, have, iu its clemency, ordered that you be now called to the bar for the purpose of ham discharged; and it has further onlered that you be discharged without paying your fees, and you are discharged accordingly.—Serjeaut, take him from the bar." It oar then ordered that the Speaker's repri mand be entered on the Journals of the House. SCHELDT PAPERS. Mr: WILLIAMS wyNNE moved for copies of all communications trine John, Earl of Chat ham, to any department of his Majesty's Govern. ment relating to the Expedition to the Scheldt, excepting so far as related to the Commissariat ; but after a few words across the 'bible from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we understood hiui to withdraw his motion for the present. - IRISH GRAND JURIES.

Lord PORCH ESTER having ,moved the Or der of the day for going into a Committee, and that the Speaker do leant the chair; Mr. YORKE, as dila!, enfnrced the Standing Order, sad Strangers were deluded. Art. arrigal of the Entreprenante, although no official dispitch is believed to have.been received. Letters brought by the Entreprenanto from Constantinople and Smyrna, concur in stating the uninterrupted continuance of a good understand. ing between Mr. ADM!' and the Turkish Minis• tors, notwithstanding the unremitting efforts of thu French Agents. The Divan is said to be now fully conscious of the designs of . Nirot.zox against the European territory of the Otsonians, and have resolved to persevere in the strictest neutrality.- The British Factory at Smyrna rested in perfect security that their tranquillity was at present la no danger of being disturbed. Timm was another arrival of Dutch acid French Papers last nighti "inst_ of no later date than what had *treaty been received. In ,the Moniteur of the sth of January, we find the long-expected justification of NAPOLEON ) on the subject of his interference with Spain. This curious document is voluminous—consisting,of futsr parts, each of which. contains numerous pieces—chiefly corres pondence. The piece opens with. a letter from the Prince of ASTURIAS to NAPOLEON, requesting the honour of an alliance with his family. This the French' Emperor construed into an intention of giving a turn to the affairs of Spain, opposite to his in , teresta—because the Prince knew that NAPOLEON .bad no Princess to give in marriage. • " Before the EMPEROR had recovered from his " surprize," aintter from King CitAttrAs an nounced the plot formed by the Pazaics to de throne him. NAPOt.zom immediately recognized " the plots of England," and instantly ordered 40,000 men to march into Spain, to be ready for every event. Then follow several letters and pro testations of the King of SPAIN ) and at last the Treaty of Bayonne. No attempt is made in this justification to prove the correctness of the suspicion that the 66 plots " of England" had any share in the intrigues of the family of lingAut.rs—and the only conclusion to which we can possibly come on this subject is—that NAPOLEON conceived the possep.d sion of the Peninsula a sine'quo non to the preset', vatiou of his own power. • , . . • The ilionitear has extendestlhe plan of that publication, by an examination of our Pertinent'. ter) , Debates.
