To proceed again tea-morrow A considerable number of poblic aid private Bills were brought op from the Commons be difforent Gentlemen ; among these, the Militia RAdtlion Bill was presented by the See:etary at War; the Custom Duties Regulation Bill, and the Lacier Officers Remuneration Rill, by Mr. Hoskswei. The American Treaty nil., the: Neutral Ships and Foreign Vitae Ships Bill, by Mr. B os e. And the tart India Commander in Chier 'a Appooitment 11l by Lord DUIIIO. Several private Stile were presented by Sir J. %V. Anderson, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Fellowcs. The Bills upon the Table were forwarded in their respee tee stages ; and tilos:: recently brought up from the Commons were read a hr,t tune. . _ Lord IIAWN.ESBURY moved the filet reading of the Mi litii Reductioa 80, amt that the BM be printed, which were ordered accordsolly. hie Lordship Olen mired that the said Bill be read a Neon.' time on Thurwlay next, and that the Lords be summoned th.d day .-4.lrdertd. Lord MULGRAVE gave notice, that he should, on Monday next, move to have the order relative t the House resolving into a Committee on the mo tion of any Noble Peer, taken into consideration. To this he was pnncipally induced, by what took place last night ; and, on account of the construc tions which were put upon the order in question, in the course of the debate. Such an order was, he thought, inconsistent with the dignity of their Liird ships' proceedings, and may be procludive of the highest inconvenience, admitting it to empower any Lord at his pleasure, thereby to constitute himself a majority of the House ; arid, even when the most important public business may be regularly under consideration, to oblige the House to go into a Com mittee. An order construed so as to orrate in that way, was so objedionable in every point of view, that it should not be suffered to remain a moment longer than was necessary. He coneladed by mov ing, That the Lords be summoned for Monday next. Earl SPENCER observed, that though the No ble Secretary had not stated the nature of his in tended motion, yet it may, in some degree, be con jeEtured. As to the degree of inconvenience which that or any other standing order might induce, he should not then offer an opinion. He, however, could not avoid remarking, that the Noble Lord's idea, that" under the operation of the order alluded to, a-.y Peer may constitute himself, in effed, a majority of the House," would be an argument for the abrogation of every standing order in the book. Lord MULGRAVE acknowledged, he bad not ken sufficiently explicit in terms, as to the nature of his int►nded :notion ; but, when he had expressed his disapprobation of the order, in so marked a manner, he thought no doubt could arise as to his However, he should now give a specific at it was his intention to move, en Mon .. That the order in question be expunged. LORD CHANCELL OR. made some oh as in support of what fell from his Noble relative to the effects and consequences of the order adverted to. He was adverse from its being considered as a standing order ; its import and wording being different from all others of that dc scriptiisn. In the way in which it was construed by some Noble Lords last night. it seas the most incon sistent thing im.iginable ; tor, in the event of the usual notice being given for its suspension, on any particular occasion, how could they know but any Noble Lord may, on the very day it was appointed to he considered, move the House to resolve into a Committee ; a proceeding which might be urged any moment wide the order existed. An additional objeCtion against the order was its general imprac ticability ; because, were the order literally and folly enforced, their Lordships, while in such Commit tee, were required to sit, each in their proper places, according to their ranks and degrees ; a proceed ing which, in that new House, their Lordships would find it rather difficult to carry into drat. Earl SPENCER observed that, circumstanced as their Lordships were at present, the proceeding ad verted to would be totally impraCticable. lie re colleded, that some time since, a Committee had been appointed to settle and arrange the proper seats for the respective orders of the Peerage in that House ; but no report had yet bcea made upon the outlet ; that Committee should be referred to. In the House in which they formerly sat, the respective places were regulatly arranged; every Peer knew his proper place when it was necessary he should sit in it ; but, in the present House, that being not yet settle I, such a proceeding was impossible. The LORD CHANCELLOR spoke in explana tion, and slightly adverted to the ieconveniencies Which must sometimes arise frost too-literal an en forcement of the orders ; alluding to what had taken place last night, and its being contended that standing order admitted of no debate, but that it should be immediately aged upon; he adverted to the inconsisyncy of such an idea, which went to prevent a Noble and Learned Friend of his from demonstrating that it was impossible to comply with the order in question. Lord MITI.GRAVE perfettly concurred in what had been thrown out by his Noble Friend on the Woolsack. With respedt to their Lordships' being required by the order to sit in their proper places respeCtively ; he conceived it to mean that the Barons should sit together on certain benches, the Earls on other distind benches, the Dukes on others, and so on. This consideration was with him an additionally stmng and forcible oh jeetion to the order, which may render it necessary that their Lordships should, as at the word of com mand, arrange themselves in a species of military array, or fall into their respeCtive ranks, like soldiers on the Parade : but setting any thing like a ludi crous consideration of such a proceeding aside, it militated, as well as other serious and mere import ant objeetions, against the order . The Question was put, and their Lordships or dered to be summoned for Monday next.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on this Bill; Sir .1011 N NEWPORT said, that having al ready submitted to the House such objeflions as occurred to him on this subjea, he should not now trespass on their time by any farther opposition to it. The purpose far which he rose was to suggest to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. l'itt) a mea sure which might have a happy effelt us convert ing much of the indisposeable military in Ireland into a disposeable force. His objEt was to extend the provision made for the wives and children of Militiamen in Ireland to such men as should volun teer into the regulars. The deplorable rate of the women and children of those who had before so enlisted, was, after the embarkation of the troops from this country, a source of the most extreme wretchednes in Ireland. They were obliged to beg their way home, and the swarms of them were so great, that the streets in Ireland were sometimes covered with them After one emarkation at Ports mouth, them were upwards of 1000 of these un happy creatures left in that condition, and, if not provided against in future, the knowledge of these circumstances must operate as a great drawback on the recruiting. 'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the suggestion made by the Honour able Baronet had bfio means escaped his atten tion ; but the remedy for it was fraught with the utmost difficulty, and may make it a question whe ther a similar promise should not be made through• out the service. Another thing which made it a subjea of the more serious deliberation was, there being no poor laws in Ireland from which those persons might he relieved. He understood, how ever, that when the troops were embarked, the wo- men and children had a provision made for them from the liberality of Government. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it was very true that, after embarkation in this country, the Govern ment gave the women and children an allowance of a guinea and a half each, for their conveyance to the nearest port, but after arriving these, they were under the necessity of miserably begging their way to the place of their former residence. Colonel OGLE confirmed the account given by Sir J. Newport, of the wretched condition of those women after their return home. In the late war they were allowed at the rate of 4s. a week each, and had since only 2s. which was obviously insuf ficient for their support. The Bill then went through a Committee, and was ordered to be reported w-marrow. Adjourned. BRITiSIII LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3. It now appears that the late Paris Papers stated truly, that the Rochfort squadron was destined for the West Indies. The Arabella packet, which is ar tived at Falmouth in twenty-nine days from the Leeward Islands, has brought an account of its arri val at Martinique upon the 19th of February; and that on the 21st, one thie-decker, and two seventy fours, invested Domiuica, and made good their landing. General PREVOST had thrown himself into Prince Rupert's with what force he could col lea. Roseau and its dependencies had capitulated. The opposition of General PREVOST, we fear, must have been in such case of little avail ; as the pos session of the port of Roseau, and the heights above it, is a commanding situation, decisive of the fate of the whole Island. Besides, the Rochfort squa• drop consisted of five sad of the line, and finir frigates, with 6,000 troops on board ; a force which the Island, not more than So mites long and Li broad, and not strong by nature, was not in any event capable of resisting. There is, however, good ground for hoping that the enemy will not be able to extend their conquests much farther; as we have an effective force of more than 12,000 men, well disciplined, and ably commanded, in Bar badoes, St. Lucie, Trinidad, and Surinam ; and Jamaica is an (Ned, we conceive, beyond their strength. Had they any great enterprise in view, it is reasonable to presume that they would have un dertaken it with the great advantage to be derived from surprise, and the suddenness of the attack. In stead, however, of proceeding in this way, we find then give all the other islands an opportunity of mus tering their strength, and concerting means of de fence for the comparatively insignificant conquest of Dominica. It is, therefore, not improbable but that the main objet of the expedition is for the purpose reinforcing Martinique, which is known to have but a weak garrison. There was also a report yesterday that the enemy had proceeded against St. Lucie, bit it was not credited. The news had very little cffel upon the public funds. N,. farther accounts were received yesterday of the Channel According to some reports, it did not exceed twelve sail of the line when the enemy first shewed a disposition to come cut of Brest. It appears that the greatest exertions have been made to rend( rce it. In addition to the ships mmtioned yesterday as having sailed on Saturday, the Quern of !!? guns, Rear Admiral KNIGHT, the Dragon of 74, which was going with the expedition, the Min h/genet of 74, and the Dindrm of 64, sailed from Portsmouth on Monday morning. It. was seism ted, however, in the evening at Portsmouth, that the Qa.:es and the Dragon were recalled. The Hamburg!, Mail due on Sunday arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 27th last. An article under the head of Rome, March 2, states that Lord NELSON bad tetnrned with his fleet to the coast of Sardinia. These papers contain several articles of a pacific character. They state that the orders for reinforcing and supplying with provisions the fortrewes of Mantua and Pi t.figliitone have been recalled, and contend, that the report of 10,00ki French troops having marched by Mount Cenis tt'i Italy is greatly exaggerated. The conspiracy at Stn:gardt was revealed to Government by a Jew. It is said, that some of its ramifications may be traced back so far as 1790. The Urn. Gamic' Kiroa is re-eleaed the repre sentative in Parliament for the University of Dub lin, by a majority of 16; the whole number of voters was only 59. Mr. Fos r ER, one of the un successful Candidates, means to petition. A resolution was passed on Friday last by the Court of Directors, that all the Company's uthcers on furlough under the rank of Major General, who have been one year in England, shall return . to their duty in India, by the ships of the present season. We have authority to coatradhl the statement which has appeared in the public papers, of Sir Evan COOTS having resigned his military com mand in Ireland. _ It was universally expeaecl yesterday. that Vis count Met vitta's letter to the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry. moved for on Monday night, by rdr. PITT, in the Howse of Commons, would have been laid last night upon the table. A Clerk from the Commissi(mers attended, for the purpose; but he did not arrive until the SPEAKER was putting the question fur the House to adjourn, and consequently was too late. The letter will, no doubt, be laid before the House this day. Some heavy Sting was heard on Monday at Dover, supposed to proceed from our cruisers attacking some cf the enemy's small craft skulking along shore. One of the papers gives an account of places held by Viscount MILLVILL► and tamily, under Govern ment, to the amount of 61,0001. a-year, evidently for the purpose of exciting popular clamour. The inference which every fair and liberal man would draw from the statement, is, that Viscount Ma, vt its and his family must be strongly attached to the Government and the country. It the places are well hiled, what difference does it make to the country, whether the occupants be DuNDAssas, Porrs, Ancitooruns, or Gaaelvit.Las :~ On Monday night, this Lady gave one of the most elegant entertainments of the season, at hrr house in Hill street, Berkeley-square.
