Mr. LOCK:II/MT, pursuant t 9 his notice, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to suspend tife ,- .Att orate thirty-sixth of the King so far as it relates to .the voidance of Benefices held by Clergymen wilt) may lave subsequeotlyaccepted.Coracies augmantedtrilrn tueen Anti's Bounty. The ground on which he rested his Motion was, that many Clergynien, , not.. aware of the Clause in that. Bill, which rendered Be neticevoid in case the ineurnbenta accepted augment ed Curet, had, by accepting such Curacies,subjeaed theinselves, inadvertently and ignorantly, to the pe nalty of that At. The conequence was, that the Patrons of the Benefices were threatening them with new Presentations, and that they held such Be nefices wholly at the mercy of such Patrons. His,Bill was not intended to alter the law or decide the ri4lit, but merely to suspend the operation of the Ate till next Session, in order that the Legialatnre might have an opportunity of considering whether Clergymen,-under such circtimstances, ought to be 14t to: boll their' benefices at the mercy of the pa trout, or be deprived ,at thetri altogether. The.kill had the approbation of softie of the highest elunlae ters, and as it was only to . give Parliament ,an op portunity of considering the matter hilly next §es- COD, he did not deem it necessary to say more upon the subjea. He concluded by moving for leave, &c. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER would have great doubt of the.propriety of the Bill proposed by the Hon. Nleinber, if it was to atter the lain as it now standS, or to divest rights already vested by law. But as the 13111 was only to suspend the operation of the law now in force, till the subje& might be more tkilly considered next Session, he was:not aware of any material objeCtion to it.—Leave was then gi'ven. Mr; SuiainAN brought up the Bill for. the better 0 Betrulat ion of Licences for Alehouses, 46., The Bill provides, that where Licence has been granted in a preceding year. and afterwards refused, the cause of tinch refusal shall be given in writing to the party, who shall have an - appeal to the Quarter Sessions. The Bill was read a first.time, and ordered to be read a second time on 'Saturday next. T -E S UN. 604.4b4 21.111$ DlCSitt.AtitHs UD11.417 LONDON,' ?A/DAY, AUGUST 7' 1807. WlLire still unable to gratify our Readers with any information upon the important and interesting subjetit of the Expeditions, as no intelligence had arrived at the tiinewlien this Paper was put, to Press. A report was this morning circtilated, that a very successful sartio had been made by the Garrison Of Stralsund. It iA: stated that the E6ernylost in killed, wounded, and prisoners, near 0700 men. THE ,thrve Officers in Adrniral G4murza's Fleet, whose names have been so imprudently held forth in' seine of the Morning Papetg, cannot fail to feel themselves greatly obliged to their zealous friends fur promulgating to the world a line of conduit which, if true, would be deserving of severe re prelynsion. We have a much better ortnion of their discretion and judgment, to suppose t 6 on a matter in which trey , had not the shadow of a right to interfere. Surely Admiral Gamma, in appointing a distinguishedbffieet, of twelve years standing on the List, was not less crtrre& that? a Noble Lord, when he took for his first Captain a Civilian from one of the Public - }loards, whose standing pn the List was inferior by man . ) , to that of Sir Hosts POPgAn ; yet these three Officers did not venture to remonstrate with the Noble Lord. We cannot 'believe, therqfore, notwithstanding the positive assertions which- have been made' upon the subjeet, that any . dissatisfa6tion has been ex. pressed by the Officers alluded tot WE have strong reason to bellow' that the sudden reconciliation between the Emperor ALEXANDER and BONAPARTE, and the interchange ':of their re speaive Orders which followed, have createdalmost as much surprise and disapprobation in Russia, 'and in the Russian Army, as' in this. Country. When 'the EMperor Apt ;CANDEK re-crossed the Niemen, and joined his: Army, decorated with the Cordon of the Legion of Honour, he was not only . ieceived without the usual demonstrations of attachment, but ;here were even strong expressions of dissalis , faEtion. WE have received Halifax Papers to the 14th ult. which contain some further details reipeEting the engagement between the Leopard and tho.Clie sapeake. The following Observations upon the probable Efreets of a War between Great Britain and Ame rica, are extraaed from a New York Paper : " BONAPARTE'i hired Gazette, 'labouring, in its vocation and for its wages, endeavours to impress the people with an opinion that England cannot exist without Anierican Commerce, and that therefore it is good policy in America to attempt to intimidate that Country by a Non-importation A6l. This is natural enough fora French Agent, as it would answer the purpose to NaroLsori of embroiling the two Coun tries in a War. , But for an American to hold such language, would be to show himself either a fool or a knave, or both. Indeed the folly of the thing is not so great as its . wickedness, and it Is highly probable that the writer did net believe it when he wrote it. " Had the advice of the Democrats' been. taken twelve years ago, and their wishes with regard to England been accomplished, America would have been befOre this time but a prefecture of France. • " A contest between England and America upon Mr. JESFERSON'S plan of " see which can do ,the other the most harm," sounds well, prettily, quaint* ly, and Jerruasoti like. It was as peculiarly suite able to that Gentleman's style, as to hispoliey . and spirit : but it would be worth the while of the Ame rican People to consider, first, howler it would in jure Britain—next, what likelihood: there is that Britain.'would 'be bullied by 'the - apprehetision.of such an injury; and lastly i what th e consequence would be to America. ' " " The trite way to get at the first point, viz, the magnitude of the ,injury to Britain is ,to determine what proportion the annual advantages she, gains by the American trade bears to her whole annual property. It will be found to be little indeed.— Bat if it were greater—five times greater' than it is—would it be sound policy in Britain to yield up for its preservation, points of infinitely greater pertance ?—NO.-:-She will not take her counsels from the advice . of BONAPARTZ and his agents, nor will she form her policy upon the feeble suul-less model of Mr. larreasoles Cabinet. • • " Let it next be considered what 'effea a breach with England would produce tht America. In the first place it is the British market which takes off almOst the whole of the richest produet of Ameri ca--its cotton. Suppose a Non-IMportatiOn 114 i were followed, as it certainly would be, by an ex , - elusion of AMerican produce • from the British market, what would become of the Southern Planter ? —Go to another market No. ! 'a • mound is thrown across the ocean by the Navy of There 'is not a corner of the world 'ta , . which our Merchants could trade, and not only the American Merchants would' be undone, but ,the Farmers would have their prodnce left upon their hands, and for wanrof d vent for the surplus of it, they would soon sutFer distress from the privation of , Many of the first comforts of life. The Merchant would be bankrupt--the Farmer would be bankrupt, and the Mechanic, having no one to employ him, would languish in misery and want, .while in every part of the world England would operr a market for herself, for her manutitaures—Then which could do the other most harm ?"

Minas, JUNE 30.—The following circumstantial account has been published by this Court, of the en- tire destruaion of the Corps which were lauded at 114ggio last month, under the command of the Prince , . of trEtsit PyILIPSTRA L. ft The Expedition sailed from Palermo . , under the command of the Prince, on the gth May, and dis embarked immediately. It was composed of the Chas. seurs of the Prince of Besse, the Apulian Chasseurs, the Samnite Grenadiers, the Regiment of Cavalry of Waldimazzara, and of some Cannoneers and Pon.* toneers. This was augmented by the letiy-en-masse," and by some Sicilian Troops. It must be observed, to the disgrace of the Laws of War, that some of the Troops employed on this service .belonged to the Garrison of Gaeta, although 'by the terms of that Capitulation they were not to serve pgainst the French for a year. The Prince had with him six pieees.of artillery, and an immense quantity clam+ ELECION PETITIONS. Mi. DENT, purmant to 'notice, moved for leave 'to bring in a Bilifor better regulating Reccignizances entered' into upon Petitions' on Controverted Elec tions for Members to serve in Parliament. The 26th of the King, he stated,* had not provided an ade quate remedy against vexatious Petitions. It re quired the Principal in a Petition to enter into a re cognizance of 2001. and each of two sureties into One of tool. but though it , required the sureties to give in their residence, it did not require theta the Principal, so that there was generally much difficulty to find hire in the event of the recognizances being forfeited.'lt was tn , obViateThia , difficulty, and to die " ,cOurage vexations Petitionl, that he proposed to bring in his kl li, which, when printed, he' should suffetto lie 'over till neat Session. One of the provisions of the Bill would, he to require of the Petition tri deposit 001. wi th the Barons of the Exchequer, which sum -would be to bc.returned, if the Petition should not :be- declared frivolous, or, - if it shoUld, to be disposed .of,,one half to the Sitting. Member, the other to his Majesty. _ That some such provision was necessary, !Would appear from what had happened the case of the Borough he-represented. There bad been no contest there, and yet a Petition had been malicionsly pt4linted agaimtr return, which bad been signed by, five persons, not one 'of whom was ,:at the time within 200 miles of the place. One was a barber, another a cominon ,porter, a third a day-laheerer, and a fourth a jack-ass driver, and all had, been bribed to give their sigoatures to the Petition. The necessity of the measure would also he obvious frOm the en curnstance, that of illty » four Petitions which - had been preset ted in last Parliament, eighteen had ''been abandoned, Without any. reeognizanees hav ing been entered into ; and, of the thirty-owe:l'e titions ,presented this; seven had-already • been gi, en up for want of recoguizanees. Having • stated thus much,* be*WaS sure it was unnecessary sae hiM to add any thing more to induce the House to allow him to bring in th Bill. He therefore snored for leave, &c. &c. Mr. .lioSEcould nOt help thinking that twine re . gulation was necessary upon this subjeCt. The Prac tice of presenting vexation. Petitions had berme too frequent,and it was not proper that such libels upon the sitting Members should be permitted. Ile hoped his Hon.
