Gentle run (Mr. Banks), who had r,niken so favourably efthiicolleElinn, as well as of the liherality nf the present o wners, hal supposed. that if the House '5l not agree to the purchase, the public might get cern for nothing. Yet he begged the Committee to e ,, n sider, that it the Horne did not agree to the ',recluse, bf the s•ime rule. the public might same not ge t them at al l Ile !ruined, therefore, the q ;ni , n he ha I ex p ressed in the Committee, that t he collection was highly valuable, and the purchase a cheap one. The Resolution was then pot and agreed to. All the ahove Gentlemen were on the Committee apMr. suits. .FO3TIER moved several Resolutions grant i• T the tlitlAi AIIMVATICef for Ireland, which were Se . •-.IIY raid and agreed to. • rile House was then resumed, and the Report 1 i ordered to be receiv-d on Monday. Ills House then resolved itself into a Commit , Ice of Vr.‘TS AND MEANS. Mr. PITT said thAt in gpening the Budget of resent Session, he had estimated the Surplus of the p the Consolidated Fund at 15,500,0001. He now &Owl, hetesterr, whether it would turn out to be more than 14,500,0001. He would wish, however, to take 15,500,00 including the 3,.500,0001. voted this night in the Committee of Supply, in conse quence of His M tjesty's Message. lie moved th:refore, That a 111151 not exre•Aine 14,500,0001.

The above Resolutions were then severally read land agreed t 0,,; the House resumed, a ul the Ite port ordered to be received on Monday. DUKE OF AM CLAIM. The 'louse went into a Comm ttee to consider firthf.r of the Petitimt on the Duke of A hors claim. Mr. PITT, Mr. Sitcaina4, Mr. Hos►.

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER gave notice of a motion for Monday to appoint a secret Committer to take into coulderation a certain part of the. Eleventh Report. The other orders were postponed, and the House adjourned at a Quarter before One o'Clock until Monday. THE BRITISH PRESS. I,4)NDON, SATURDAY. Ji Me ‘22. The debate on Thursday night in the House of Lords upon klis IslamTv's Message, and in the liouie of Commons upon Mr. Gait's Motion, has ennwn new I;zht upon the state of parties.—Lord ft ENVIL E said, t!i-At the interns] di,sentions of the Cabinet were become a matter of puhlic notoriety, and representei its Members as employed in mutual recrimination, and the discord so great as not even to permit them to save appearances. Mr . E.t, alluding to the same subjen, said, " When we .tr of hasty resignations and rapid reconciliations, parties remain together only because they ..maot stand without each other, I cannot think sack an Administration worthy of confidence.— .kllowing the talents of the Right Honourable Gentler')3n (Mr. PITT) to be thrown into the scale, I do not think the present Administration, therefore, more entitled to the praise of efficacy than some of those which have been condemned 4 . .)1' the want of it. Even from what has passed in the present Session, I think it imprissible that any 311. l:: can have any great confidence in it. But it has said, if you disapprnve of the Minister, why :tot move for hi; dismissal ? All I shall say upon this point is this, that if the persons who have it in their power to form an Administration, do not think this a time req.:hit - 1g a cordial and vigorous Admi nistration, embracing all the persons capable of serving the country, the people ought to tell them to. If such a Ministry be not formed, lam sure there is no chance of this country weathering the storm. Ido not mean this expression in the pusil lanimous sense, that the notion must he absolutely annihilated, hut that it may be reduced to a state of depression from which it may not be able to reco ver. As to the principle of exclusion. although no man condemns it more than I do, yet, I am sure there is no man, let his private views and personal ambition be what they may, who would state such ennsiderations to stand in the way of so great an objea." The t/IRD CHANCELLOR, in the Kruse of Lords, followed Lori Gannvinee, and Mr. PITT spolc‘ after Mr. Fox in the House of Commons ; but neither of them suffered a single word to escape them in an ewer to tilese direa charges and insinuetioas. Could they have been refitted, or explained in any way ad vantageous to the parties concerned, it is not likely that Ministers would have negletned so fair an op portunity, an opportunity amounting indeed to a positive challenge and defiance. If then we wanted any corrohorating proof of the difference alleged to subsist hi the Cabinet, the silence of Ministers upon this occasion would perhaps be sufficient confirmation. But it may be said, is then a difference of opinion in the Cabinet, a disorder so desperate as te afford no hopes of cure, and necessarily induciag dissolution ? Certainly nat. Lord THuatow, we are told, used to growl a little in the Cabinet, and Mr. Wiene•ie eery lately declared in his place in the I louse. of Commons, that he did not always agree w 4 his as sociates. This sort of difference was, however, more a proof of the si:itit, the independence, and strength of the Cabinet, than of its weakness : and it never suffered in public estimation upon that account. — But the schism which. now prevails is the Cabinet is of a very different description ; it is not any little hasty ebullition of jealousy or ill-humour ; it is not a discontent arising from any personal slight or disappointment, to be appeased by a little address and increased attention: it is an aaual attempt on the part of Vie:taunt Stostmern to make the CbIANCELLOI of the EICAEQI:i.E, to whom the Country has b:en accustomed to look as the leader of the Administration, subordinate to the Lord President of the Council. Mr. Pier must there fore consult the wishes of the ADDINGTUMS, and bend to their will, in which even Viscount Sin mom' would be, in he, Prime Minister, whatever may be his place and office, or he must reinforce him., If by some new arrangement. We are among those who think we have lately observed a spirit of moderation in the language of the old Opposition in the (louse of Commons towards the Minister, and a conciliatory tone in the manner of the Minister towards the old Oppesition. We are assured, how ever, that no overture, direaly or iadirealy, has been mode by Mr. PITT, or his friends, to the old Opposition, nor from them to Mr. PIT r. Suppos ing, however, the present state of things to lead to such an overture, we fear there are many difficul ties in the way of a successful result. The Grtra •letes Party are as firm and resolved in their oppo sition to Mr. PITT as ever. The Earl of tir steces . is supposed to be the only member of it who cold be detached from that body, and even this is only conjeaure. Supposing. then, Mr. PITT ready to unite with Mt. Fox and his immediate friend:, k is not to be presumed that they would ac quiesce in any arrangement which did not em brace the G Et:VILLE Party, who aged so disinters este Ily and honourably towards Mr. Fox upon the formation of the present Ministry. To them diffi culties may be added the obsernetions that must na cesserily arise from the personal interests and feeling of Mr. PIT is present coadjutors. Were an Ad ministration to be formed, comprising all the charec tees of the country in rank, talents. aid political in. formatioe, the HAWKESSLILYS, the CA,4NISIG3, the FOSTERS, and the BOC:t S ES, must fall into the back ground, or totally disappear. And perhaps it is net in human natu:e that they should submit to their fate without some little pains to prevent it. D:Ci culties to the same extent do not present themselves in the way of an arrangement between the new ocialitien and the Anoint:from ear: e. Bat even here it is o doubt matter whether Lord could be brought to acquiesce in any arrangement ni" which Mr. Pere did not form a part. —The epprti don which the Gasarviee. s have sheen to hint is entirely free from all personal considerations ; and, peratioxical as it may appear, is, in lA, the highest compliment %%hie they could pay to lii% ta lents. A fixed and inflexible oppinetion to the pre sent Admininiatien they consider tie surest mode of forcing him iuto a Ministry upon a broad basis, such as they p:oposed on the resignetien of Mr. ADDINGTON, and the country thee expened ; an a dministration comprising all the leading men of rank, talents, and property, and suited to the extraordinary crisis in which the venni) , is placed. Had Mr. P; sr fat the. necessity of such an administration as strioiely as Lord Geenviees and Mr Foe. he certainly would not have rt:tu-nei to office in the way he did, unless indeed he hope I, that wee s in power he would be able to etfea it by his iefluence and address. it mast be almitt also in his justification, that he then reckoned upon the pee el tul aid of Viscount Minn, Le, a man of great abilities and indefati gable industry. Viscount Ma. v ILIA, instead of a support, is now rather a ieeiger that oppresses him, and he hallo and that the • i•lers of tie Coalition are st euncli, a , ,1 i • sep r ihie t -.ni each other. A reconeilintion the s between Mr. P:r r and te:e count Si OMOUTH is the only court. that remains, but that can only be a hollow and delu . sive truce, and after she manner in which Mr. PITT turned out Mr. Ao- DINGTOM, and Mr. A onto o ropi, now Viscount SI D in En, has acquired an ascendancy in a certain quarter over Mr. PITT, we do not see how a full and complete confidence can ever exist between them. Mr. PITT gave notice last night in the House of Commons, of a Motion, on Monday, for a Secret Committee to enquire into certain parts of the Eleventh Report of the Commissioners of Naval En quiry. Thursday, soon after two o'clock, Sir SAMUEL Hoon had an audience of His Majesty. In a short time after, His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, which was attended by the Archbishop of C•NTIll- BVII V, the Duke of MONTROSE. Earl CAMDEN, VisC AIRE SIOSIOUTH, and Lord HA w e essulv.— The Council did net break up till near five o'clock. Thursday, about two o'clock, the RUSSIAN AM BASSADOR transafted business at Lord Mucoaaves Office. Thursday morning the MASTER of the Rotas visited Mr. PITT. __it iliatid that Parliament will be prorogued upon the 15th of July. Government, we understand, have received dis patches from Admiral Da CR ZS, of the 14th of May, on the Jamaica station, at which time he had heard nothing of the combined fleets. This renders the American report more improbable. There is a report that Government have received intelligence of another Spanish squadron of six sail of the line having escaped from Cadiz, previous to the renewal of the blockade. We could not ascer , tain whether there was any foundation for it. No case of any public interest occurred yesterday in the Court of King's Beach. The JalNtlieg frigate. with a fleet under convoy, sailed on Thursday from Portsmouth, for New foundland, Halifax, &c. On Wednesday last the Caroline armed ship sailed with a fleet of viAuallers under convoy, for the squadron off Ferrol. The Erp,rinerett and Orean, Botany Bay ships, laden with teas, sailed from Canton for England, early in January last. The Carlew sloop of war, with the fleet under her c.sevoy, which sailed from Portsmouth on the 19th March, are arrived safe at Newfoundland. A letter from a Gentleman in the West Indies, dated April 25, says—" On the fith, the transports. with the 90th, or Perth Regiment, :,ailed from Bat badnes for St. Vincent's, where they arrived on the 10th, immediately disembarked, and relieved the 613th regiment. The 9')th Regiinent is divided be .tween the two posts of Fort Charlotte aria Dorset shire-hill ; they have been very unhealthy during the last lour weeks: they lost no less than three officers, among them the Ai'jirtant and Quarter matter—rn Any others are laid up. Two C. pains and 4 Sutralrern are going home on sick certificates." The Twelfth Light Dregvans have just marched into. &Argots' Barracks. This Regiment caries itinnedietely from Ireland, where it has been since ies return, from the Mediterranean. It is Said that the Lanark Militia, a very fine body of men, upward; of 800 strong, at prese t in barracks at Faversham and Ospringe, is to be asked to Major-General Moose's brigade at Shoraclitte. The West Kent Militia will march from Rims ' gwe in about a fortnight's time, where they have been stationed daring the winter, for Essex, and are to he replaced by the Northumberlal , d Militia. Tuesday morning, the Ist Division of the 3d West York Militia, marched through Faversham on their route to Ashford, and was followed on Wednesday by the remainder. On Monday next, being Midsummer-day, ac cording to annual ealtom, a Common-hall will be Bolden to ele3 the Sheriff,.
