Mr. Dit.t.Ctir Proposed a further anienamehi, 'that no search should be made except between sun, ri sing and sun setting; and if this ernendMent were to be resisted, he should propose that the Magistrate 'should be present at the search. A long discussion took place upon this Amendment, and open another Which was proposed to be substituted for it by Mr. Dillon, namely, that the power of 'search should be Confined to the proclaimed Districts. . , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEIi, Colonel BARRY,' Colonel VEREICER, the ATTORNEY-GENE'. HAL, and IVIr. DUNDAS, arge s ed in opposing.the Amendment, on the ground,. that in many cases it Would be necessary to make the search by night, in order to prevent the removal of concealed arms, and that the time when the power of - searching for arms would be most etreaual would be imme diately before a distria on the part of being disturb hd be proclaimed. It was contended on the other hand by Dr. LAW IIENCE, Sir SA.MUF:/: RONILLY, Mr. WHITBREAD, 1 1 4 r. WINDHAM,' Sir- J. NEWPORT, Mr. WILLI'ANI 'SMITH, LORI MILTON, Mr. GRATTAN, and Mr. SHERIDAN, that as the Bill was to extend to the whole of Ireland, the House. ought 'to secure the rights of the sullied in the undisturbed parts from the violence that might be offered to ,them iu car'- eying the provisions of this Bill into effect; that the Magistrate ought in case of suspicion to be present himself at the search ; and that they ought to be more cautious in .enacting any restraints upon the, rights of the Irish, because,,since the Union, any attack upon the liberties of. Ireland would be an at tack upon the liberties of England. , SHERIO4 N declared, that he had taken 110 part in the discussioit upon the Bill, because he -could not teel pleasure in amending so harsh and tyrannical a measure. The first amendment that ought to be introduced intothe Bill, was a Clatise requiring a qualification from Magistrates.- .rt Ire land was in a state to reqtfire this Bill, the Insur rection Act ouilit to have been made general, if it Was not, as lie 'contended it was not, then this Bill might, with equal propriety be extended to great Britain and Wales, because the undisturbed parts.of Ireland were as loyal as any part of the Empire. Cobini:l BARRY defended the Irish Magistracy from the attack of his Right - Hon. Friend. If they • we r e deserving of his represenattion, it must have heen'the fault of the,late Chancellors; and he. ap 7 .. pealed to an Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Pon-. sonhy), whether the late .Chancellor had not re quired from the County Members, and .the Gover nors' of Counties, 'characters of the persons in the CPnimission of the Pace, with a view to purity the Magistracy of the'County. ' ' ' SMERIDAX had not intended any libel on the Magistrates of Ireland.—fie, on the contrary, respected the Cbuntry Gentlemen of Ireland highly ) , but in proportion as Acts c)fthi,, kind were in tin. same proportion would those Gentlemen be indisposed to execute them. He again .reverted to hisreason foi not atteupting to amend the Bid, and reprobated its provi,ions. Mn PONSO.I4BY declared, that the late Chan cellor had act ;.1 froin a conscientious conviction that the Magistracy wanted to'be.Purged, and was pre vented only by the late change. A division took place on the Amendment, when the nurneers were—Fer the Amendment, 23--• Against it, ye. —Majority On our re-admission, the remaining Clauses were gone through, and some new Clauses added, the latter of which littiitS the duration of the Bill' to two years, and until the end or the. then next ses= sion of Parliament, after an 'A,tnendment had been moved by Sir Jcifi s et'Newpont to 'Milt the Bill to . one year, and until six weeks slier the commence neat of the then next Session Of Parliament, which was negatived without a division ; the House then resumed, and the fteport was ordered to be received this day. K• MILITIA TIIANSFER BILL. ' Lord CrISTLERE/IGHmovqd the Otder of, the Day for the third reading of the Militia Transfer Mr.' "WiNattim, Sir - ROBERT WILLIANS, and Mr..CAICRAPT, put it to the Nrnble Lord, whether be would press the third reading of such a Bill 'at such an hour in the morning one o'clock), when. many Oentletnen had left the House, under an im pression that as • the former ,bnokneas had extended t° BO late an hour, *this question would not have, been brought on. Lord CASTLERSA . pti. could not consent to the de ay stilicited. • Sir ROBERT WILLIhMS then moved, that, the House do now adjourn. A diviSion then took place :—For the Adjourn ment t3-Against it 7.l—Majority 55. • . On admission of Strangera, we found. Mr. Wrtin- StAm otr his legs, 'objecting; .it strong terms, to the.presiing the third reading , of. the Bill at that hour, and after so long and teazing a discussion as bad taken place 'for the last' eight hours, and ap. Pealed to the-House not to treat the Country and 'the crisis with aindiscreet a levity, as to hurrpfer 'word at that late hour the third reading of a , Bill of *ltch tt questionable nature, and fraught, with such Inomentous consequences.' Lord CASTL;IIREAGO replied. He defied even th e thatatteristic ingenuity of the Right Hop. Gentle man to start' a novel idea in any discussion on the present Bill , however prolonged. All that Could be said by the Right Hon. Gentleman had beetvalready eitaustadand fully answered ; and as to the ,state of the House, It,' Was, then much better attended than it would be at .four or five tO.tnotriAv evening. Mr. WINbIiAM explained. Mr. CA.t.cit.vi. Vindicated' the motives of " his night Hon.'Friend in wishing to defer the second reading to a snore seasonable opportunity, and moved' that the Flonse'do now adjourn. The S.PaAnin obje6ted to putting the question of adilUrninent arain without the intervention of a new, subjeet." had groutidedbis opinions . on the pre cedents of: the 12tf1, of March, 1771, and . 16th of !March, 1772. It had-latterly been the usage of the toUse, but an usage he' had no scruple in,' w ls •upfbunded. He did: not think the motionit the lion. Member regular, and he should not; there- , fore, put it.' • The question was then put,,that the Bill be now ' cad a third time : when, after a speech from'Lord ,11.,t1,1-01,1, 'against the• principle of the Bill, Sir Joni Ai twPoßr m oved tha t instead of the word " Now," . to_ tre inserted the words 4 ` Tills Y;" upon which 4 - eriament - the House divided—For the Amend :thingainst it 76.—Majority 61. kkr" excluded, eve bildirsi6Ol that another division took place of 92 and 73, when Lord CASTLEREAGH stated, that seeing-Gentlemen were determihed io press Ainendrnent lit%&'llruend menr, and keep the House till to-morrow night, Di' have their way, he should give them their sway; The third reading was then postponed till this : day. * 4 Adjourned at flAt4e-PAsT TWo. Tll E SU N. SOLED QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT , L Q ND Q IV, wEnbiEsimy, AUGUST 5 1807. The Order issued by Admiral BERKELEY, under which Capt. HUMPHREYS proceeded to search the chesapt!i/h,Americao Frigate, for British desertcirs i , will be found in a subsequent column. It confirms in every particular the account of that transaction which we laid before our readers. The . 'deserters. were openly paraded in the streets of Norfolk, in defiance of their Odicers ? under the .protettion of the :Magistrates. The applications 'of the Captains of the, British Ships fur the men who had deserted, and the British*Coniul, were treated with contempt. Under these circumstances Adm. BERKELEY issued the Order for searching the Ctiesupeal Frigate. And here it is proper to observe, that the Order is not ge neral,. to search all AMerican Ships of War, but the particular Vessel is named on board of which it was ascertained beyond all doubt that there were several British deserters. The Order.of Adm. BERKELEY is drawn up with temper and great caution, and at the Saute time that it directs the Captains of . our Vessels to search the Cheiape ak, it admits a similar right on thepart of toe Americans to search for deserters. It claims no right fur Great Britain which it dues not allow to America. Under ,these circumstances, we can only attribute the unpleasant occurrence . which took place to the rashness . and ,obstinacy of BAKtiOti j and we cannot believe that, upon a fair aid temperate • review of the whole : subjetit; .the American Goiernment Will approve of the conduct either. of the Captain of. tile ChesapNk, or of the Magistrates of Norfolk. It has been stated, and we believe accurately; that in order to prevent similar accidents fur the future, tbe light of searchiiid; Slops of War is to be givett - ,up oxi both sides; and peruaps it is better that ikshould.bo given Ud, ibr itttijob a is founded in strict justice and equity, it certainly is likely, even when most cautiously :ata 'temperately exercised, to lead toir: ritatioe and to serious disputes. . .

The exertions 'of the Board of Admiralty' to equip this immense Naval Force in.so short a time, have been almost unprecedented; and entitles them to the highest praise.

The unanimous election.of two Gentlemen of dif ferent politics to fill the offices - of Ch.tirman and e cretary to the Meeting held in the Park - yesterday, is a proof of the sincere desire of all to sactifice'on the altar of patriotism every political animosity, and cheerfully to co-operate with the nation at large in their detetinin4tion to resist aggression, from what ever quarter it may come.
