IMPER lAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 17. AT two o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord PELHAM, and Lord WAL3INGHANI, His Majesty's Loi - ds Commissioners, took their Seats, in their Robes, on the Bench in the front of the Throne ; „nd Sir FRANCIS MoLYNEux, Bart. Gentleman Usher of the Black Red, was dispatched to order the attendance of the Commons. Accordlngly a very numerous assemblage of that House appeared at the Bar, with their newly. circled Speaker, Mr. ABBOT, at their head; he entered between Sir Wm. SCOTT, and Mr. LAS. CELLES. As soon as Mr. AL BOT had reached the Bar, he addressed the Lords Commissioners to the following e Ife : " MY LORDS, " His Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subje&s, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain rind Ireland, have, in obedience to His Majesty's Commands, proceeded to the exercise of their un doubted and antient right, in the Eleaion of one of their Members to be their SPEAKER, and I have now to inform your 'Lordships, that the honour of their choice has fallen upon me_ To their decision, and to His Majesty's Royal Approbation, I hold it rn;• bounden duty to submit. At the same time, cat,rot avoid expressing my earnest wish, that in eie present instance, His MAJESTY will be graci ously pleased to allow his faithful Commons to pro ceed to a new EteEtion, and thereby to afford them the means of fixing up )n a Person more worthy of their choice, and His Majesty's Royal Approba- lion." To this Address the LORD CHANCELLOR, as Organ of the Commissioners, replied nearly to, the following purport : " Mr. AB.no - r, His MAJESTY relying on the wisdom and firmness of his faithful Commons, and judging from past experience, .entertains no doubts of your sufficiency to execute the arduous 'duties of that high and important situation, to which his faithful Commons, in their wisdom and discretion, leave elected you : and His MAJESTY has command ed Us to inform you, that he fully approves of the choice which his faithful Commons have made. — We, therefore, by virtue of His Majesty's Royal Commission, and in his name, do allow and confirm you as their SPEAKER." On which, the SPEAKER addressed their Lo►d ships to the following effed: " MY LORDS, " I feel it my duty to submit myself to the ntmost to His Majesty's Royal Pleasure and ApprobatiOn ; and, I receive with the greatest gratitude,this further mark of Majesty Royal Grace and Favour.— Ccn,firrned in the high and important office, it be_ comes my duty as sr EAKER Of His Majesty's loyal and faithful cothmuns, in their name, and by humble Ferition, to claim for them, a continuance of the exercise of all their antient Rights and rriviiegcs, particularly freedom of speech in their pcbates, and exemption, in their persons, estates, and servants from all arrests and other molestations; and that they may have free access to_His Majes ty's Royal Person, as occasion may require, and that their Proceedings, on all occasions, may receive the most favourable interpretation. For my own p: .ft, have humbly to intreat that any involuntary error which may be committed by me, may be im puted to me only, and not to His Majesty's loyal and faithful Commons.'' The . answer made by the LORD CHANCELLOR, was nearly to the following purport : i‘ Mr. SPEAKER —We h.ive it in command from ;its MAJESTY, Who fully trusts to the temper and prudence of his faithful Commons, to declare that fits MAJESTY freely and fully allows to them the -enjoyment of all their Rights and Privileges, which have ever been.allowed or confirmed by any of His Majesty's Royal Predecessors. As to • your own part, Mr. SPEAKER, we have it further in command from Fits MAJESTY to state that His ;MAJESTY secs no reason to apprehend that you t nd in need of the required indulgence, and that His MAJESTY will be at all times inclined to pot the most favourable interpretation upon the Proceedings of his faithful Commons." • , After the Commons had retired, the -House was adjournel during pleasure, in order to give the Lords Commisioners an opportunity to unrobe. On its resuming,, Lord KEITH (made a Peer of the United Kingdom in the course of the last Ses sions) was introduced in full form, the Duke of NORFOLK attending as Earl Marsha!, and Lord (iwY DIR uling a Great Chamberlain, sworn and took his seat. His Lordship's Supporters were, she Earl of Mott:-4, (as Lord RAWDON) and Lord rELHA%.I. In the course of the Sitting a number of Peers were sworn ; among whom were the Dukes of NoRFoLK and Roxuußcii, tile Bishop of Dort it it, the Earls td CH, THAts.l, BESEORoUGH, DART_ MOUTH, ;;nd Po:AFR FT, and Lords ELL ENBOROUGH, CA7 IIC ART, TEY NH AM, and CARTER ET. At foul o'clock their Lordships adjourned until thiee to-morrow. II) :IS E OF C Olt i ili, 7 0 J-175., wEDNFsDAY, ;BOG. 17. A; fete rni7.tve , aftet two o'clock, Sir FRAN MOLYNEUX, Gentleman Usher . of the Black 1 d, sum - 1 ) a t h e House to at:end in the House cf. Peers to hear His Majesty's Coinmission read. On the rettlrn of . the Se E AKER, he stAted, that it was his duty to accrtint the house that . they had been in the Floosc of Pcers, where the Lords, au emrised by virtue of His :siojesty's Commission, had signiFed His Majesty's ai T robation of the pro ceedings of that i louse. He had there, in the name cif-the C:,intrmus, and on their behalf, according to ancient tumble Petition, laid claim to all Righis v Pegcs, Freedornol S 1 ecch in Dr:hate, freedom from At rests and from ail Moles lir ion, for themialves, their Sr rvanzs, and their Free access to his Majesty ' s presence, as occasion should require ; and that all their proceed. ings should receive a favourable construaion. All which claims His Majesty had been graciously pleased to confirm by his Commissioners, in as full and as ample a manner as they had ever been grant ed by His Majesty, or any of his Predecessors — He had now only to observe, that in entering upon this important Office, it was his duty to return his acknowledgments for this great mark of their confidence—it was also his duty to remind the House, that the dignity and authority of their proceedings must he maintained by a dne observance of the Rules and Orders of Parliament, most of which demonstrated their own importance and uti lity, and all of them would appear, upon examina tion, to be founded upon the same pradical wisdom. The first proceeding would be for the Members to take the Oaths and subscribe the Declaration—and he begged the House would preserve Order while Gentlemen were taking the oaths. The SPEAKER was then sworn, after which Mr. LEY proceeded to call over the names of the Members, taking the Counties alphabetically, and the oaths were administered to several Mem bers. At a quarter before five o'clock the House adjourned till to-morrow. MAI LS. ARRIVED. DUE. French PRICE OF STOCKS, THIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols 67 I Ornnium - xo disc.

Yesterday a report prevailed both in the City and the West End of the Town, that the Toulon Fleet had put to sea, and it was added, that it had been joined by a Spanish Squadron from Ca rthagena, which made the united force `Twenty Scven Sail of the Line. Upon what authority this report was circulated we could not ascertain ; ri.;r did we hear what particular destination was assigned to this Fleet, if it has adually put to sea. It was yesterday reported, that a change is about to take place at the Admiralty Board, 'Elie Earl ST. VINCENT, it is said, is about to retire—hut this we state merely as a report that was yesterday prevalent. , Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held at the East India House, when Lord WILLIAD4 CAvEN VISH BENTINCK was appointed to toJeceed Lard CLIVE as Governor of Fort St. George. Mr. WILLIAM LYNCH was sworn into the com mand of the Harriett, extra ship, destined to Coast and Bay, as was Mr. JOHN DOBREE into that of the Carmarthen, for St. Helena and Bengal. The Extra Ships stationed last week were timed as undermentioned, viz. _ Harriett, fur Coast and Bay ; new ship (Wil liam) for St. Helena and Bengal, and the Experi went, for Bombay, to be afloat 9th December, x 802, and sail from Gravesend 9th January, 1803. New ship (Woolmore) for St. Helena and porn bay ; ditto (Callender) for Madras, to be afloat 23d January, *BO3, and sail from Gravesend 63d February. The Earl Heave, for Coast and Bay, was also ordered to be afloat z3d January, 1803, sai‘ to Gravesend 6th February, stay there 3o days, and be in the Downs 14th March. Orders have been sent to Woolwich, to reduce the number of Artillery going out to Ceylon, from six to three Companies. The new Barracks, and the Riding-House, which are now b u ilding at Woolwich, are extremely mag nificent ; far exceeding any StruCtures of the kind in this Country, or perhaps in Europe. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Fox arrived in town yesterday forenoon from France. They landed at Dover in the course of Monday night. On Tuesday evening, in consequence of a search warrant, issued by the Magistrates at Union-Hall Mr. STAFFORD, the Chief Clerk, attended by a numerous body of Police Officers, went to the Oakley Arms, Oakley -street, Lambeth, where they apprehended Col. bespard, and near forty labouring men and soldiers ; the Major part of them Irish. They were all, taken immediately to Union-Hall. The whole of the party yesterday morning underwent a long private examination before R. C. SMITH, T. EVANCE, and P. BROAD. LkY, Esqrs. when Mr. Despard was committed to the County Gaol of Surrey, on suspicion of being concerned in treasonable praCtices. Twenty were committed to Tothill-fields Bridewell, several to New Prison, Clerkenwell, and some others who were in a room below were discharged. It is said that printed forms of an oath, administered to these deluded people, which has a very seditious tendency, were found. Sir R. FORD was present at the latter part of the examination. The alarm and imminent danger that the inha bitants of this metropolis are thrown into almost every evening by the fire balloons, make it neces sary that some measures should be adopted to pre vent them from being let off. On Monday morn ing last, an uncommonly large Balloon was found in the yard of Allan and Smyth, Wine-merchants, in Mark-lane, when the men came to work in the morning, which must have fallen during the night ; but the light being extinguished before its fall, it did no damage; otherwise it must, by reason of the great quantity of straw generally in the yard and about the premises; and, on Saturday night, the timber-yard of Mr. Restall, in Mansell-street, Goodman's_fields, had a narrow escape, as a large balloon fell on fire among the dry timber ; had it so fallen unperceived, or after the men had gone to bed, the whole of the premises would soon hav4t been in flames. CONI'O CATION. EARLY yesterday morning a Convocation, virtue of the King's Writ, was held at the Charcr house, in St. Paul's Church-yard. About half past eleven o'clock the Convocation began to move in grand procession from the Ch,ip ter-house to the west door of St. Paul's Cathedral. They moved in the following order : The Archbishop of Canterbury and his Attendants. Then followed a great number of interior Dignified Clergy', two and two. Sir Wm. Scott, Chief Judge of the Admiralty Cour t, and the Right lion. Sir Wm. Wynne, Official Principal Archbishop's Court of Canterbury, in their full Robes —they were followed by between forty and fifty Doctors and Proc tors, two and two. They were met at the door by the Bishop of Lo ndon, Bishop of Rochester, Dr. Vincent, the Dean of Westmin ster, and a great number of interior Clergy, who received the Col?'" vocation very respectfully, and the procession by Chorister' joined the procession two by two. The Vicars Choral, two and two. The Vergers,• two and two. Minor Canons, two and two. Canon in Residence. Tha Bishop of London and Rochester followed the Arch bishop of Canterbury The Prayers and Litany were read in Latin b y the BI S H O P of ROCHESTER. of the The Sermon was preached by the Archdeacon of St. Albadis. He took his text in the original Greek language, and preached the Sermon in Latin; it lasted twenty-five minutes, but of course not t ° the edification of the major part of his numero ° congregation. After the whole , of the Service, the Attcll ISO° Of CANTERBURY gave the Blessing in English. In the course of the Service, the Alithem 0 prat for the Peace of Jerusalem," was sung by the Gentle' men of the Choir; and after the Sermon they sun% " Gloria in excellcis," composed by TA 'Ads. The Church was crowded. , The Cathedral has been shut up fISr some time account of the repairs that ale going on, but Wli opened specially on this occasion. • Public curiosity has seldom manifested itself more strongly to obtain sight of an individual' than it did yesterday to see the French Ambassa dor. At a much earlier hour than it is usual fog' any person to be seen about St. James's o n p ublic days, every avenue to the great staircase was Corn' pletely filled. The pressure at St. James's-s treec gate became so troublesome, that it was foun d A n e- Cessary to circulate a report that Mon s. D REOSSI was not to be at Court until the ing week. This produced a momtntarily g ( /' effea, and the ranks were a little thinned. Whe : the General arrived, it required all the e xerti°n : of the Officers of the Palace, assisted by Towns end ! &c. to keep a dear way to the. stairs. The Ain b °:... sador was accompanied in his carriage , a g reeob'e to etiquette, by Sir STEPHEN COTTRELL, Most e • of the Ceremonies, by whom he was condated ra , the Royal Presence. He was dressed in a Generi i , uniform of the Consular Guard; - dark blue doll' coat, longer and fuller skirted than our pres ef l; fashion, with pantaloons of the same. The cdv of the coat, and over the button holes , were belif, tifully embroidered with gold, on a scarlet b row the pantaloons were ~rn am errted with gold lace; 0°, 0 ; half-boots, with gold lace and tassel, °rc. waistcoat, richly embroidered with gold ; a 13. 1 ,1 g broad sash round his waist (on the outside-o f coat) of scarlet silk net, richly wrought with 01 : 3 '` ' o ." a large cocked hat, with three tiemendouslylfrc feathers ; he wore a sabre, like what our Jibe Horse wear, which hung about his heels and hit : ti c ground; the scabbard of steel, highly polished,; r handle of solid gold ; ,he wore hair slightly thrown into his hair. The equipoge iG nothing to make it such an objea of curiosity astic excited. The servants were attired in dark.b °t sfr green coats laced with gold; scarlet laced '':_aiact coats, and green small clothes ; hats with bear, gold lace, and the National cockade. Tiletf,of riage, which evidently exhibits the workmans wr e a, both countries, was painted a plain bottle g re o f with a silver. raised work round the uppe r PArbteets the middle pannel. The body appears t o have 00 an English built one, the carriage French, avai l ' remarkable for strength than ornament. On Monday arrived per post, at the VI Clerk's Office, Plymouth, the long expo red Wrif Mandamus, moved for in the Cour t of XI, Bench.
