[PERIM, PARLIAMENT. ;E OF LORDS...Mow DAY,RET of the Day being read, for the fur ideration of the London Clergy Bill ; of ST. ASAPH rose, and comment ale speech in support of the Bill, by a elaborate hist°, y of the revenues of the he city of London, with a view to re fabulous notions on that snhjid. The at first in the form of an offering ; but less the tight of the Clergy, and was so , and maintained as such by the law. Ili., quoted many documents, ecclesiastical as ; and, in twinging down the histrry to Charles II chewed, that the London then entitled to a certain rate in the AO of Charles II after the great file. as doing them a great wrong, in fixing .e able income, in lieu of one that would keep its relative proportion to the expence The present Ad, he considered as re . wrong, though only in part; and he feel ' he weight of any objedion that had against it. The objed of the Hill was, t decent maintenance to the London for their individual gratification, but itenance of religion. Ina word, it was national purpose ; and he would not ask of individuals If individuals, in some lust in one way, they had an import another. And this was the nature of that to which legislation must be sub would ask, if individuals were a,t.;griered whT had they not complained? This t kid in a corner. It had been brought Session. It was brought forward again . It had been before Parliament, since cast; and what had been done by those . said to be aggrieved ? The Chamber of the London referred this Bill to a Commit ,o referred it to another Committee, their mode of doing business. Those reported to the Court. that hay. into view all that regarded the i the incumbents, and the other par did not see any reason to objed to the Committees spr , ke in behalf of those . said to be aggrieved. Afterwards, in- City of London iurA in their Common present a petition against the Bill, in the stage. and at the very moment when the . about to expire. He did not know much poutics, but :le supposed this might be in the Common Serjeant, who has his fee sod who came to their Lordships bar, but enough not to trouble their Lordships ten . the complaints of his clients. And this only petition against the Bill. He could • this any weighty objealon to the Bill ; rite reasons he had given, should vote be now read the third time. 'BD CHA NCELLOR said, he had em time which had intervened since the last of thus question. to satisfy his mind on e had then expressed. He was happy to think the Clergy of the city of London ' Lel a treated by th e Leg islature in a manner . themselves ; and •• this Bill ini.,i-ht per without itsbeing d r aw n i nto 4 piece dent and But he must strongly protest against . 'multiple, that because it is right to pro . great general good; you may do so by tax property of individuals. He must protest this relief being given to the London Cler - principle that may make the claim equit all Cle-gymen who have insufficient in s relieved by a tax on their own pa . He protested against the principle of extending to the whale mett,ipolis, to the -, any thing but the city of London. He . their Laus:ahips to beware, lest they bring forth those numerous and extensive ti the part of the Clergy, that would pro jealousy between the Clergy. and their That many of the Clergy had not an r decent m ‘intertaiice, no one would feel ashamed, his Lordship observed, are compelled to speak on this sub feel disgraced. as Christians, that the Clergy have such scanty, penurious But it is the public, and not indivi '. should be tax -d to provide more dccently His Lordship then went, at cuibiderabe the history cf the revenue of the Lon- He sn.etved, that the offerings which their revenue, were, b 7 custom, and corn. .., grown into a right. The offerings came settled by custom, as a rate of so much in the l'he fixed revenue, given in lieu of this im . income from the rate, he conceived to have enacted by the Law of Charles 11. with out t h e c the ckrgy, and that was important to the But above all what he had found in frac whole history most important to this bill, se Legislature had often made particular London Clergy. If the bill, therefore, grounds particular to the London In should he glad ; and if their Lordships opinion, be should be relieved from his of ROS;LTN developed the history of of the Clergy, in a most perspicuous And tner. He considered the act of Charles iniquitous compulsion on the clergy. dark history of that day was looked at, be wondered at. The plain intenti , n was, to destroy the Protestant religion. persons then in administration two were inAalsls, and the fifth a preshyterian. The church,therefore,had little chance among present bill partly repaired the wrong of Charles 11. But how partially would be seen had calculated how much in the pound the London clergy would amount to, advance made by this bill ; and it was not ee in the pound. The old rate was, on the about 2s. 9.l.—He respected the modera- . which this Bill was proposed, and receiv the public. He augured well from this No objeCtions had been made by indi nom of property. But if snch were to should scarcely be inclined to receive would not be forward to hear a man _. that by which his family and his chill. benefited in the most esseatial pert. The Bill he more especially considered as an affair of SLAM It concerned Clat which was AS high, as great, as any part of it. It was not easy to say, among essentials, which is greatest ; but if any were in the state, it was that which regarded the existence of religion and morality. A late experience had ehewn how important that was ; for when that is gone all the rest is a wreck. For these reasons, he gave his hearty support to the Bill. The Bishop of LONDON said, the history of this whole matter, and the reason of the spic,tion, had been so ably handled, that he w , uld only now express his hope that the Noble Duke would with draw his former Moticn for postponing the Bill for three months. The objet of the hill was, to re pair in a small degree the gross wrong done to the London Clergy by the Ad of Charles 11. to give some comfort to most des-rving men, who had lived on penurious incomes ; and to support the cause of th- established religion. He therefore hoped the Noble Duke would withdraw his opposi tion to it. The Duke of NORFOLK said, the objea of the Bill WAS as dear to him as to any r•.ian in the coun try. He wished to see all th.• clergy maintained as became the dignity of their eiaraeers. It Mai no objeaion with him, that other clergymen would make applications for an increase of Erconi,:, if this Bill should pass. He hoped they would. But his ohjetion to the Bill remained as before. It was no:, that the objeif should b. , &feared ; hut that i: ought not to be obtained at the expence of indivi duals, and by an inroad into the principles upon which property rests in this country. After what he had heard from the KAI, Lords, it would, how ever, be presamption in him to divide the House. But he held himself bound to give his negative to the Bill. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE concurred with the Noble Duke. He Mt great respe3 for the clergy, a.td wis.ted to see their incomes suit. able to their dign:ty. Rut he would not attain Any obje&, however great, by destroying the principles on wdich men fuse lived with so much security and confidence under our incomparable system of laws . The Bill w•as read the third time, and passed, witha at a divisicn. The commitment of the Insolvent D. btors' was postponed till to-m mow.—Adjourned. ..,-----e------ IMP , • HOUSI . • The Order c ; ther considerat .

A message from the Lnrjs informed the House that the Lords had agreed to the Volunteer Amend ment Bill, the Stamp Duty Rill. the Loyalty Loan .us.l the Nassau Salt Exportation Bill. !1N \NCE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that theorder of the day tar resuming the ad j 'urned deba•e on the subjeft of the Public Funded Debt, be read which being done, he moved, that the flame be further postponed till to-morrow; by hick time certain resolutions he had to move would be printed for the use of the Members; and an op portunity would then be afforded for discuisiTi the subjea more fully. He then moved resolutions, stating the amount of the Funded Debt of Great Britain at this time, the amount of the quanity of debt redeemed by the Commissioners for liquidating the national debt. and the amount of the debt which remaine4 unredeemed. —'These resolutions were agreed to, and the debate was ordered to be ad journed till to-morrow. Mr. VANSIT FART gave notice that he would, to-morrow, make a motion, the objet of which should he to make this suhjet more clear and du,- tina than it already appeared to be. But, prepara tory to what he me sot to bring forward, he would now move that there be laid before the House an Account or Estimate of all the Duties of Custom!' an Excise charged or outstanding on the sth of April, 1 SO3 aid len distinguishing each article. and those that were classed under the head of Per manent Duties. He also moved that there be laid before the House an Account of the Duty on Pro- perty due or outstanding on the 3th of April, 140 I. so far as the same could be made out. Buth these motions were agreed to. CORN. ..... On the motion of Mr. WISTLIN, the Report of the Committee on the Corn Laws was brought up, sad the tesolutions were ag-eed to. After which a Bill vr,!s ordered to be brought in upon the same. Mr. WtsTERN then brought up a Bill for regu lating the Importation and Exportation of Corn, which was read a first time. He said, be wished to state distir.ftly to the House, that ill's Bill WAS. in all it provisions. similar to another Bill which had recently been passed by, and received the approba tion of, the House. He hoped, therefore, that it would not now meet isith any opposition. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMII:CON said, there was one point in the Rill up.sn which he should beg leave to put a question to the Hon. Gentlemar.. He had understood the provisions, of the Bill. sn far as they related to the importation and exportation of corn into and from Scotland and Ireland, had remained as they stood in 17111. But he since found that this was not the case. And he was sorry to observe, that those which were now con tained in the Bill, were lieely to be very prejudi cial to the people of Scotland. They would not now have the same facility in procuring oatmeal from Ireland, as they formerly had. Mr. WF.STERN said, that the prices by the importation and exportation of grain betwe-n Ireland and Scotland were to be regulated, worild depend on the average aggregate prices of four distrias in Scotland, which was the fairest criterion that could be adopted. And he did not conceive that this could in any manner impede the importa tion of oatmeal from Ireland to Scotland. There was one feature in the j3ill attended with peculiar advantages, which was, that it would open the ports between Great Britain and Ireland. If, how ever, the Noble Lord objeled to any particular provisions in the Bill. be thought the proper time to notice them would be when the Bill came into a Committee. The Bill xas then ordered to he read a second time to-mo,row•, and to be printed. Mr. CORRY moved that the iteennnt of Irish Linen esnorted from Ireland since the 'twit). which had been presented to the House, be intuted.--• 11- TALE BRITISH ritEss. • LONL!,)N, TUESDAY, JULY 24. Letters from Warsaw of the sth inst. mention the arrival in that city of a Russian Nobleman from St. Petersburgh, with a letter written by the Erii iLllOß'S own hand, and addressed tu Louts XVIII. ping of France and Navarre, containing an invita tion from the RUSSIAN MONARCR to His Most CNRIbTIAN MAJNITY to fix his residence at Mittau, or in any other place in the Russian Empire, where all the honours due to his rank, virtues, and misfortunes, shall be paid to him. At the desire of the Emperor of Russia, Lou:s XVIII. has made known to all his faithful subjects, ilispersed, and persecuted in diffi.reat Continental States, that they have a point to rally round in the Russian Eia• pire, where they will be proteded, ern?loTed• had .uccoured. According to the same letters, two new Corps of Emigrants are to be establ.ched, and taken into the Russian service, called " The Royal Legion of Honour," and " Legion of D'Err a I or." The former, report says, is to be under the imme diate command of Lours XVIII. his royal burgher, and nephews. The command of the latter will be offered to the Prince Ds Cos o e and Duke of BOUR- Ins. Should a rupture take place between Russia and France, these Legions are to form the advanced guard el the Russian Army, where the Royal Stan dard of France, the Oryanse, will be ere&ed, which all loyal Frenchmen, who can escape the degrading tyranny of the Cos sican Adventurer, are ordered to join. A few nights since, in a hea;y gale of wind, the enemy had two gun brigs And three lugger' sank, and sevetAl others driven on shore near Boulogne. At the close of the Poll yesterday, at Brentford, the numbers were, for Sir Foornoss BUIDETT, 611, for Mr. NIA ts .vAtrNo, 5°38; leaving the former 83 a-head of his opponent. The Matilda cartel, Capta:n DRINA:r., reit, ar rived off Portland, after sending several packets on shore, proceeded for Harre de Grace, to land 300 French prisoners, which she brought from Pondi cherry. This ship left Madras, the 27th Oftober, and Pon dicherry, the let November; arrived at the Cape of :at d Hope, the 25th January, was detained there till the Bth M ty ; arrived it St. Helena, the 23d, and sailed from thence the 116th May, when the lirite.mia And Meow Castle, outward-bound, re mained with the Georgivia packet. His Mut-sr v's ships, Plesternet, of 74 guns, Captain Di Cocacv, and the Egyptiersae, of 40 gnns, Captain FLLMING, were left at Sr. Helena, waiting to convoy the homewarl-bound lndiarnen, none of which had then arrived. It is again confidentially reported that His bia- Je will attend in the House of Peers on the last day cl the present Session, which, it is supposed, will not be protraded beyond the Slat instant ; and in two or three days after the prorogation ut -Parlia ment, Their MAJLSTILS will set of for Weymouth, where preparations are rnakirg for their reception. We learn that the Governor of the Cape of Goat Hope, General J AN,EYS, has treated the English with kindness and humanity, wbiais regrets on him the greatest honour•; the numerous British subjeSts residing there, having hitherto been ldc in the full enjoyment of their property, and without the least restraint on their persons. Sir JA M ZS PI:LT LVLY left town yesterday morning, to resume his command on the Sussex coast,and the army in that distria is immediately to have an ad dition of 16,000 men, among whom are to be the German Legion, and several regiments of Militia. The Hon. Major-General FINCV, who commands the Chelmsford distriet, received orders express, nn Friday last, to have the troops ready to march for immediate *Rion ; and, in consequence, the Brigade of Guards were under arms the principal part of that night, and still continue prepared to march at a moment's notice. A letter from Dover, dated July ft. says— ,' The Faroante hired armed cutter arrived in the Roads to-day. being blown off her station of Ostend hs the late gale ; •after taking in some provisions, she sailed again to her station. By this vessel we barn that the French continue to send a number of craft from Flushing rs Ostend ; they do not, as be fore their late eng.t:Tement with Sir Sidney Smith, send them by sea, they now it o up the Scheidt t o Antwerp, and d own by the inland navigation.— They have got a great number there, and at Calais they have 40 schuyts, 6 gun-brigs, and 4 large transports ; they contrived, by the favourable op portunities that occured, to get them round to Bou logne, where these are already upwards of 1200 sail of all descriptions." The Brunn Gazette of June 21 contains an ankle from the frontiers of Turkey, wl.:ch is as follows s— “ The Turks, on the 19th inst. made a sortie in force from Belgrade. and endeavoured to carry the redoubts furnished with artillery, which the Serviette had ereded in front of their line. The attempt was unsucceesful, and after a very bloody conflid, they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat. The Dar. who commanded the attack, had, it is said. his foot shot off.
