*nee to those of small property, and comidetablv dituniisheil the distresses, to which, under any oiler circumstances, they would be exposed. Ile dewed the right of the House to inquire into such a subject as that before them ; amt could not conceive for what purpose it had heel, discussed at all. An inquiry of such a nature was com pletely unnecessary. A• to the pamphlet said to have been written by hint, ; e would say but one word. Ile was cot the writer of ,t, nut the maxims it contained were deserving of his admiration. By the Union, the Church was the 61111 e in both countries ; and, if the tithes were abolished in Ireland, why not a bo hsh them in England? Ile o Gold .beg to state the great similarity between the sentiments of the nom Cefirlemi t ti n opposite, and those contained in the b..ilcs of Nlactieviii and Emmet; a great proselyte of those two authors, o as a moo who was certain of be ing hanged fur his conduct, and who aggravated his conic by disclosing upon Isis accomplices—he meant Arthur O'Connor. But the assertion, that the itholics slowed the burden of the tithes, was Ole c:otts,s- that body of people, unnterunr Ms they mffight be, were totally exempt front any such burden. Mr. Musirsuut MATTHEW ,aid, he thought that when the Right Hon. Gentleman (Dr. Duigeitaii) was appointed a Privy Couliarllor. he tsar to have been confined to mere ecclesiastical discussion; hut arnwithrtanding the Mbomou to muzzle the Disc. tot. he saw th,t he still would continne to talk up on t•iose subjects, from discussitig which he ought to have hero exeinpted. As to the tithes, what had been stated by the Gentleman alluded to, wee perfectly correct. He could call the attention of the Ctiaucellor of the Exchrqio-r to a promise which had been made to him, with respect to a petition from 'I ipperary, which he (Nlr. ;;vie NI i:orw) said lie would ',resew. He was prevent ed from pmentio the petition, by the or..inive of aii inquiry into the cause of co os . plaint. He did not know at that time that the Higt t Mot. Gent. (Chaim. llor of the Exchequer) was is slip". ry Gentleman. • The CUASICCLLOR of the EXCHFQU Fit said, that he tied eever held nut ally expectations with respect to the application mad.• by the lion. Gent. who just s He bad only st 4441, that it might be possible to propose -otnething in favour of the application. H• conceived tt the measnre proposed, with rc soect to the t& ell. was a iii hievous force, He could see no porisiole benefit that could result from au . The question was one which had been often agitated, and lie conceived that any represent ation of the kind was a fetal delusion ? lie con bitlere.l the deprivation of tithes as an absolute robbery upon the Clergy. By the tithes the Clergyman had an opportunity of maintaining the re,,ard of his parishioners ; and that complaint s would nrito, though the clergy were to be .aid out of the Exchequer. The people were sufficiently ditsitisficd at the manner in which the money was at present issued from thence, soil if an addition so disgustful was triode, would not the disapprobation be much inerrased Mr. HVTCIIIMI.OII said, if this country meant to • bold any faith with Ireland, an inquiry should be immediately instituted. England was pledged by the Act of Uniou to do all in her power to amelio rate the situation of the people of Ireland. Mr. WI Lammas:a adverted to the mis chievous operation of the tithe* ; it was of high cmsequelier to the people of both countries, that this Committee should be appointed for the pur pose of imitury—a purpose of praetieal wisdom.— If Ireland enjoyed a state of unmixed happi ness, the ease would be very different; but whets that country was evidently suffering under pain end poverty, the prtertit was a noble Op portunii:, t., thew the inclination to serve it. lie mach re:..tte:l that the House had not long *Mee sulfi•iently rut, red into the grievances of that coantrv, and adopted the meatus of arwedying them. Sir GLOICE HILL, said a few wools against the motion. The 1-I ,, nye then divided, when there appeared— For the Motion 44 Against it tta l arit On the motion of Mr. U. limos., the bill fur the better regulating the mode of passing the Ac counts of Overseers of the Poor, was read ■ first time. sad ordered to be read a second time this day month. Mr. Ccawatt moved, " That the House should fender itst If into a Committee of Supply." Mr. FIISTRIL had no objection to the motion. Sir JOHN NEweour objected that the House was too thin at present. Mr. Letitia FOSTER hoped that the subject of the drainage of bogs ill Ireland would come under the eonsideration of the llonse at as early day be fore the recess. His reason for being thus urgent was, that there was no money left. Mr. Pousomay, as one of the Commissioners, begged lease to state, that there was II thing called a Report upon the subject, which gave tin act:omit either of the expense, or of the mimes of the per sons employed, or of any ground of possible use.-- r hoped that, before any further sum was granted, these points would be cleared up. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a few observations; after whirl's The House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. Cuaweir moved a grant of 20001 to Cap tain Manby, for his invention and exertions for SRV• ing lives. By means of his improvement, no less than forty lives were saved in the course of last year. Mr. RoIEIT WARD seconded the motion, and proposed that the grant should be free of all fees and deductions. Mr. WiLataroaca said. that many persons in his part of the country were saved by it. The motion was then agreed to. and the Report ordered to be received on Monday nest. Adjourned at Two o'CLoca. FOREIGN 18TELLIUENCE. DITCH PAPERS. Rotterdam Currant Extraordinary, April 9.

By the Lisbon Mail which reached town yester day, we have received Papers from that City to the 3d invent. The MOVelllfllif, of the respective armies indicate the approach of souse serious ope ration. A divi.ion of the French had made its appearance at St. Felice., to the northward of Almeida, with the express intention of driving in our advanced post ; but in this attempt they Mire uppored by General B►•cKwtvit, at the head of the 95tli ride regiment, who attacked the enemy with great vigour, drove them Erick, and, in the pursuit, killed several officers and men, and took a few prisoners. The enemy's number. in this affair, amounted to about 6uo. The - British lost a Lien tenant, who was killed, and one or two other offi cers were wounded. A few British troops were also nounded.—These papers contain no recent intelli gence from Cadiz. ♦ copy of the Treaty between France and Hol land is given iii another part of our Paper. By this Treaty, the whole of Zealand, Dutch Brabant, &e. are incorporated with France. Holland, thus re duced, is to support a navy of 9 sail of the line, 6 frigates. and WO gun-boats, acid a military force of Ig,ooo natives and 6,0 . 00 French ; the whole to be excluinvely under the orders of Frilf All American produce which has reached the ceded provinces, also all imported into the rest of the United States, are placed under reque-tralion, to be disposed of as BON•PAZTL shall here titer think proper; sad, in return fur all this, Holland is to have Munsterland. We have received German Papers to the atl A letter from Amsterdam, datrd the March, states, that reports of peace had reached OA eti from Louilon,and excited an extraordinary senvat inn. It is no doubt a very con%irseing proof, if indeed any was wanting, to thew how una illmg all per sons of credit and talent are to embark in political situations with the present Adinini,tration, t4.,t nu soceessor to Lord Cu maid has yet be, it appointed. It Is now upwards of a month since Lord Citay it to retired from office, in cons►quence of the opi nion ettirreit.ed Lc Parliament of the unconstitu tional conduct which he had put.necl.—The aitua 'tion of Nt.i.ter-Grnerel cif the Ordnance is still vacent, and that too ■t a lime when en cfliciciit principal I. so neeefsery to ii.fitse vigour and ay came). into a department which has, in the courlt of this week, been censured for neglect by Perri*. agent, and in which a most .gtoss breach of the proiisioiei of a recent statute has been detected, and reported to pon ; and is the details of the Report en Mr. [inst., it is obvias,'-that much must be doue before tl# husiness' of that office is broil& into a good train. l'he truth we belie.% eto be, th ot Lord Poises, who has already oncegincurred seta. siderable t;apense in preparing for the Cosee mo „, a of Ireland, does not choose again to expose hie, self to the inconvenience, as he knows by ho w insecure a tenure the preAent Ministers held their and, therefore, the Duke of likvisese cannot return to England to succeed Lord LIAM. The same difficulty applies in finding s v itt ", fQr Lord MuLnitAVE—Lord CASTLE:IIE4CM hawing declined to act with his former colleagues, feelin t that the present situation of the country such at to requite a strong and efficient Government, ■ad s therefore, Lord MULGRAVS cannot he placed ratite head of the Ordnance. Thus, it is evident, that the greatest inconvenience and injury resut io the public from the continuance of the present fret* Administration, ah,ch possesses neither credit oat confidence.
