ria "Ir% ..: r without having yet taken any steps to supply the deficiency which was known to have existed, at least for the last six weeks. That he (Mr. Whit. bread) was proposed as one of the Committee, he unquestionably esteemed an honour. if appointed, , he should endeavour to discharge the duty entrusted It to him conscientiously ; or if a more proper inaaV ' should be proposed in his room, he should submit with all deference to the opinion of the House. The motion, that a -Committee be appointed to examine the Physicians, &c. was then agreed to ; as was also a subsequent motion, that the Committee stoosiit of '2l Members. • . • The Gentlemen whose names had been mentioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer were then pointed to form the Committee, with the *addition of the Chaneell it of the Exchequer himseitlig the mover of cite proposition), and the substitutiott of T. SherlocleGooch, Esq. for the Right • C. B. Bathurst, he being out of town. The following motions were - then made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and severally agreed 10 : • " That the Committee have power to send for the Physici ans, for the purpose of examining them." " That the Committee have power to adjourn. from time to time, and from place to place, as may beconveoient to them , and t h at they have leave to sit, notwithstanding any adjourn.: went of the House." " That no Member of the House, not a Member et . the Committee, do attend their Meeting'." " That the Committee do meet immediately in the Speak er's Chamber." " That lye be a Quorum." • • . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that it was desirable to insuie as full an attendance as possible at the approaching important discussion. He thought there was reason to expect that the Report of the Committee would be deliver. ed on Monday. Of course it must be printed. It was, therefore, his intention to propose Wednes. day as the day on which,the House should take the ' Report into consideration. To that day, there. fore, he would move that tbo call of the Houk be' postponed. - It was consequently ordered that the House should be called over on Weduesday next.—Ad. journed to AlOnday. Mr. LOVELL, with the most unfeigned gratitude, requests to ,•etprn his heartfelt thanks, to his numerous Friends, who hare honoured him with their kind enquiries its to his health, and their cominiseraZieN for his present unfortunate con. jneinent ; and to those (previously unknown to him) who have, in coalmen with the universal sentiments which he is led to believe pervades the kingdom, as to his SENrEATCE, favogred.hies with their enquiries, - he begs to make his best acknowledgments.

COI; NSELS ; and it .ippears,, that eferttxrrlital now is to makogood out argument. 'Tip . sr INDIA station has been long subject to insult and ravages,: 'from the shameful neglect to ensure naval means of . protection to that quarter ; and although England has lately taken the Isle of llourboti, and thrtat. cued the Isle of France, we have Dow to record ass almost unexampled disaSter to our ships of wit in those seas. The Sirius, Mcogiciennei and Ife. reifle frigates had been adereti to attack . hie French frigates which had . gut into a port in tlie ,Isle of France. Unfortunately they grounded; anti after suffering a prodigious loss -is—killed, wounded, and drowned, they were ootivpOlied- to surrender to the enemy. This . is a thltforttitte; it . may be said, that may :happen 'to. a gallant force. We are not goiog to examine, air, into the singular circumstance of losing three gates in an attack upon two ; but the general mt.: uagement of the station is the present object of our censure.

By the proceedings in the two Houses last night, our Readers will perceive that the two States of the Realm hare at length begun at the right end, under the present melancholy circumstances of thc conn. try. Uow car they Will continue to proceed, step by steiy until they shall have found the due and full remedy, we cannot now anticipate. When we have seen the Report of the Committee; and have been a little let Jute the policy that is proposed to be Sraftis 4 .:Out . 11.4e•ileppt,ts together with a little of the temper of the Muse, we Day heee ',Rough to offer ; but at present we content Ours dies with silently watching every step of this momentous pro. cceding, on which the fate of dm Empire chiefly depends. Last night, French Papers to the 6th instant, were rewired. The Illonileur has given in detail the correspondence between Mr. MACKENZIE, the English Commissioner, and M. DOMOUSTIEN, the French Commissioner, in their negociatiun, at Mor. . laix, for a GENERAL EXCHANGE of PRISONERS. Gr a subsequent column, we have given our Readers all that is important in this Correspondence;. be cause, from the first, we felt this to be a most into. resting subject, and were willing that our Readers should, as mach as possible, have the power" of jadg. ing who was sincere, and who was not in this nego. tiation. It is scarcely to be believed, that the French Government ever designed to establish a General Exchange upon any basis, notwitli. standing the sophistry of the Monileur. But, at present, no • cennot go into this long and intricate discussion ; much less into those many imptirtant reasons that may bear on this case. Tho French Papers, besides the long article just men tioned.) contain the following : " PARIS, DEc. 2. ' 6 This day, Sunday, Dec.. 2, the anniiersury of his MAJESCY'S coronation, his blar Err ir having taken his seat on the throne, and being surrounded by the Princes Grznd Dignitaries, the Ministers, thu great Officers, and the Officer, of his Household, received the Senate, who were conducted to the au. dience by the Master of the Ceremonies and his Deputy. " His Excellency Count GAttrutn, President, presented to his Nimcs . ry the following Ad,lress " St ac,—The Senate has heard, with the liveliest emotion, your Imperial and Royal Majesty's letter.

The Monitear of the 3d contains the following note on a paragraph in the Morning Chronicle of the 27th November . Morning C'hronicla.—" We have reason to believe, from the letteri. received by the last packet, that Dittmar has actually MASSESA with 15,000 men, and that the siege uf les has commenced."

Yesterday the Duke of BEDFORD arrived in town from Woburn. The Duke of Montrose packet, which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, after a short passage of fifty-six days, from the Brazils, has brought ligence of great importance relative ter - the state of affairs at Buenos Ayrea. It appears that Ad. miral Ds Couitcv had . received dispatches at trio Janeiro by the Alivefloe 'schooner from the Plata, on which he itnniediately sailed fur that place in the Foutlroyant, and orders were given fur all the ships of war on the station to pro. ceed for the same destination. • The departure of the Commander in Chief, and the force under his command, is attributed to• great commotions which had taken place at Buenos Ayres and the neigh bouring provinces. It is indeed stated, that Lt i nuts and five of his associates have been tried and 'executed by the new Government a Buenos Ayres. They are stated to have been convicted of treason able practices against the legitimate Government of FERDINAND VII. and , were put to death on the I.6th of August last, at a short distance from Hue- Am Ayres, amid the acclamations of the populace. The cummotion's which had occurred had induced the British Naval Commander to place Buenos Ayres in a state of blockade, and the following notice to that effect was yesterday posted at Lloyd's :-- ":The Spani.l ship Leila, Captain Aguilar, from the Ca naries and Si. Catharine's to Buenos Ayres, put into (tie Ja neiro, the 13th October, ho consequeuce of the blockade of Buelloo Ayres by the British."
