C:i ging zti Order . the last Earlianlent - for, laying ly_ttbre the Hause certain Accounts relating to the Excise of Scotland, i hat- any motion . for 'discharging an order of a fernier. Parliament, or even of a former Scssion of the same Parliament ; was contrary to all Order'was not binding unless it was renewed, and the knowledge of this fae - ..t.Miglit be sufficient to save the trouble which it was intended avoid by discharging the Order. • uqage HOUSES Mr. WICKHAM gave notice, that he would on Wednesday move to refer to a Committee theplof 43d Geo. 111. relating to Glebe Houses in Ireland, and several papers conneEted with that sublet% RAF,R,VCK DEPARTMENT Lord HENtiY PETTY rose, pursuant . to , notice, to move for the prOduelion of the Minute relating to the I.l:irrack Department; 'which was transmitted ,to the "Lords Of the Treasury by. the Commissioners of Military Tnquiry, early :in the last autumn. Part of the. Fourth Report was sent to the Lords Commis 7 sioners of.the,TreasurY, who' were of opinion .that ,a Boarcllghonldibe:estabrlisbecl.to :consider the Re'nort, N'vnich receiVectrr.rhe Kin est!san6tion ; but the Privy Seal was not:iffiked to - the commission, and to which the Nobletord who now held that. Seal re fused to affix it. He trusted that no obstacle would be thrown in the way of the Inquiry; as there were: rem and enormous abues that required serious in vestigation. He therefore moved, that the said Mi note be 'laid before the House. - . _ The CHANCELLOR of - the ...EXCHEQUER said, it appeared to him that the mode _of itiestiga tion proposed would lead to embarrassment:, : The. Report alluded to contained a great' variety of matter, and as Ministers were in the situation of great re sponsibility, they-would 'not of course •proceed with precipitancy; }however great their wish may be .to reform abuse. He had no ohje&ioii whatever to the motion (which was put-and agreed to);- he should Merely. observe, that Ministers were justified - in-he sitating upon a measure the propriety of which was disputed by most.of the persons who were - consulted on -the subje& .by their predecessors. FINANCE. The House, on the motion of the clitiNdELLOtt of the L.:cue-fauns; resolved,itself into a Committee .on the Loan Bill ; Mr. HostrovsE in the Chair. ,The CH.:INCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had an Amendment to submit to the Com mittee, to t wilich he did not imagine there would be any obje6tiOn. The House was aware that . the intcrest of the Loan was provided'for without any charge for the present year. He was desirous to alter the pre sent Bill ati little .as possible, that the pledge made to the.Contraecors should not .be violated, and that the public should keep its faith with those who sub scribed ro the Loan. He therefore meant merely to wove an Amendment to leave open,the subjeci with tespett to making the War Taxes perpetual. His Amendment had merely that -,object in view, ~ ' as there was great oiajedion made froM different parts of the country to- perpetuating the Tax on IMports and Tohnage. He therefore propiiscd that the War Taxes should be applied to the objea till six months after the B.atification of the Treaty of Peace, and that the Tonnage and Import duties should then ce,i4e,and the cifferenoe be paid out of the Consoli dated Ftind. It was therefore right to defer all that was not absolutely necessary to be adopted in the present - ScssiOn, and he should propose'such Amend ments as in this view be thought called for. Lord :lENIIT PETTY had no objection to the Amendment. Sir Tlioi,i,AS Tvß?o expressed his decided dis approltion of the.lncoine Tax being made a perpe tual War Tpx, The CHANCEI.T.OIt of the Exciraueft said, that no part of the plan went to that eXtensioir. , Liir4 gEATI - ir PETTY said, the property . Tax Was exClw.l6.l under his arrangement, and it was left open for dieussion bereaCter,whether, it should be..ruade perpetual or not. • • • - Aiessrs. — ThDrutpn, Tierney, UigAisson, and-Van ,ittart, said 1 few words .each ; alter which' the Citairman reported progtess, awl obtiqued„ leave tu again t99-morrow.

IVE .yesterday comTunicated to our Readers an Account which had reached us from the Continent, cif the cOmbined British and Russian Fleet having ed the pardanellea;—weiare now happy to have it in our poet• fully to conf i rm that Intelligence, ay the foiloWing Official Bulletin, which was this morning ,ircula.ted.through the Ptablic Offices , 4cimiraity Office, April 14, 1807. *Dispatches from Lord Cot.i. I G' Q 9 D, dated .oft Cadiz, March ,9-8, received . this morning by hi 3 Majesty's Sloop Imoilen, arrived at Plymouth, con -tot .intelljgence that yice-Admjral Sir T. Dticx.- CUTII, 'finding, on his arriVal at ~TepedOs, that His Majesty's Ambassador had left Con r_antinople on tho o f January, proceed ed vith the Squadron under his command, to that f...;ity, passing'the Dardanelles against all-oppo soo i)0, the i§th ~of February. kips subse; vent 'op.eratiop - s were not lEnown to his Lord kut from the Spider tke afternoon of that day, and.the report of the inha bitant of Tetiedos, therein reason to believe. that the Ttirkisli Marine is destroyed. • • On the 14th of February His Majesty's Ship A jay caught fire and was burnt; the non. Captain BLACKWOOD, and about 400 Officers - and men, were saved." • The accounts which reached us from the Conti nent stated, that after Admiral DucKwoRTH had forced the passage of the Dardanelles, and destroyed the Turkish Fleet; he summoned Constantinople, and that the Turks immediately subscribed to the Cofiditions which were proposed, 'viz. " That the British were to keep possession of the Forts commanding the passage of the Dardanelles until a General Peace; and• that the Russians were to be put in pOssesSion of some of the Turkish fortresses, till a _General Peace, as a security for the fidelity of the :Turks." Although - these accounts do not come in an official way,' yet we have no doubt of their truth. The most - essential point, vii. the forcing the passage of the Darda nelles, is confirmed by the Dispatches received this, morning. The other facts stated, viz. the Suhniit,sion of the 'Turks, and the Peace with England ancl . RUssia,, must have followed almost as matters of course, be cause when the Dardanelles were passed, the City of Constantinople was entirely at the mercy of our Fleet. It would be idle to comment at length upon, the ad vantages which must ensue to the Allies from this event. The French Minister,' SEBASTIAN/, has left Constantinople, and the French influence may be considered as completely at an end. .A very large portion of the Russian Army which was employed against the Turks, will be set at liberty, and may be opposed to the . French, either in Poland or Dal matia. The Foreign Papers which we have received do not contain any intelligence of importance from the Armies in Poland. The rumours of a Negotiation are still in circulation. Ws have again to congratulate the Public on the decision of last night in the House of Lords, on the subjeet of the Marquis of STAPFORD'S Motion, rela tive to the cause of the removal of the late Ministry. By that deciSion we have the satisfaeiiJn to,find, as indeed we could not dotibt would be the case, that there is an entire harmony of Sentiment between the ,:reditary Counsellors of the KING and the Repre= sentatives of the People, upon a point of the most essential importance. .

On the 22d, His Majes ty's Ships Bellona and Bellisle, with 22 Sail :under convoy, arrived there. Accounts were received at Tortola on the 6th March, that four French Frigates arrived • at . Guadak)upe on the 27th February, had landed 700 troops, and were ordered to sail the fol lowing day.

The alarms excited by these movements are compensated by new hops of Peace. .All the letters from the theatre of war say that pro• posals of Peace have been made ; and It is known that the Negotiations to which the presence of M.
