5)11s) because, if the Glenville A. was 'to be tom% Itee_tealy of to Ireland, it would destroy in.. re 41 of securing the Freedom of Election.--With las g_ard to the Aa which had passed upon this subjel 1 ,2 year, he had in some degree disapproved of it, 7 c rs at4 e it departed farther from the Grenville 1 -__ct than he thought the necessity of the case ae‘tiatred. With' regard to what had been said 111 13 , 4 t the appointment of Barristers to ate as Com- Zssioners, it appeared to him that they were the t is '`:_lperest pers ons t h at ' cou ld b e se l e aed for that pur_ fes s !from th e nature o f t h e i r e d ucat i on and their pro. th s 'onal praaice. As to their being independent, he th °.ght they ought to be so, not independent from 4t `tr land e d possessions, but from their standing of Ile Bar, which was at least prima facie evidence b t " respectability of their charaaer. As to their ng.paid by the Crown, that appeared to him to hi m stro er objeaion to them than it was to the I. l ` ges who were also paid by the Crown. A tight j o ". Gentleman, Mr. FosrEa, had stated a Case w hich it might be n ecessary for a Member of r„ "ainent to attend to give evidence before the li k ()4 'rnissioner s i n I r eland : this was not a case very e 'Y to happen, but even if it were, an application t h i ghr be ma d e to the House, and he bad no doubt t a t t hey would give permission to any Me mber to en h e the Commissioners for that purpose. This "'d not mean to say would be no inconven ience, butw ben it was put in competition with the incon han'ente that would result from bringing over per- P s r ,a thousand witnesses, he again repeated that wh e ."ouse had to decide between the- inconveniencies thereleb presented themselves upon every plan that be suggested, and as he was of opinion that ther e o i were tower ohjetlions to this than to any ; t t l er plan he had heard suggested, he should give is Support. th colorzel BAGWPLL said, that he should support because he thought some measure of -this necessary ; and he had heard no other plan to lgested, which appeared. to him so little liable c'bjeaion as the present. He had been alluded ti , as having been concerned in a Controverted Eilcc :ln for the County of Tipperary, the expence'-of li: Ich had been stated within bounds , a t 20,0001. h adQ . such an idea of the expence- of trying- a r ,- Iritested Election in England, that if he had soon ii t ° . t es, and a person who had only so were to p e. -r l iG n against him, he would give up the contest.— Waft was, that if something like the . pr esent i o l t as not adopted, it would be hard l y p ossible ave a fair Eleetion in Ireland. JONES . spoke in favour of the Bill. the DAMES Ek)Kllv said he was aware of difficulties that attended a measure of this kind, tiTus the re f ore , b e was sorr y to oppose this Bill; t gL .as it appeared to him to be a complete depar o t , from the principle Of the Grenville At he Could oppose it.—The decision would by this Bill t i e ~ _.Completely vested in the Barristers, because as CeY were to give their opinion, it would probably adopted by the Committee and what increased his OhjeCtion was, that these Barristers were to be I l fkid by the CrOwn ; he should therefore ; if the gDose divided upon this question, be under the ne. dairy of voting against the Bill. th AG- A.

Ge- L -11 to Order, and expressed his astonishment that e ie s iloilld have objeaed to the course which t h e t ' r l'ed Member was pursuing, than whic h nothin g to i b' more regular: v v ;; l Q , e 'SPEAKER decided that Mr. MOORS was t - ` llO Order, by calling on the Learned Membe r s al Proeeed i - which he did, and supported the gene. Principle of the Bill. i n ,, At • W. IV YNNE said, he should vote for go -I,l4•blinto a Committee on this Bill; but he thought • - k „ 1 -1 1 of its pfovisions would require amendment. M. ALEXANDER was also-, for going into the .o"ntnittee upon this Bill- W. PoNsONBV thought the Bill con , `' n ed much objectionable matter, the r- CORRY . desired it to be remembered , t ha t e , vote about to be given by the House on this oe th;: s '" was on the principle of the Bill, and' fe,, e u're he trusted he should be excused for of fili'ng a single observation, and he should con e himself to the principle, of the Bill.. It has said, that this measure was a violation of 14 Principles of the Grenville Bill. In his hum shit () Pinion it was no such thing ; it was to sub hute a mode of trial by a selea . body of men , atia -s en by t h e H o use, and aging upon their , oaths ; this was conformable to the principle. of Mr. I t i r !.ntrille' s Bill, for that was a provision substi hotAill a body of men to aft in the room' of a la r g er t o "Y, and i nstea d o f a l oo se decision which was r f o r t Me rlY made by that large body of men who were acting upon their oaths, nor, perhaps, always so w a i ttenti ve as might have been desirable to the h ad in enee before them, and who in deciding on whi ch, been supposed formerly to be subject to some ic.que influence. Such was this 8i11... Also with po gait to parole Evidence, this Bill was likewise th . the principle of the Grenville Act. What wa s of t 'Bi l l, but a Measure to empower a seled body men to hear p aro l e E v id en c e , and to act ,upon oath to make a return, and to submit that to the suet. ? That was the principle of the Grenville suet The principal heads of this measure were ls oke for themselves, and the rest were mere regulationsin the which might be discussed and altered 11 th e Committee, without affeaing the principle. _ lYisr.eferring the examination of Witnesses to Com rittitsi.ons, there would be a great saving of expence. pis'f any Gentlemen thought that by pissing this th. 4 Eletlions would all be tried in Ireland, th a n' was a mistake as to the operation of the Bill, and th read, ere was a part o f the B i ll w hi c h b e wo uld d t _ sheaving, th at t he Committee would have to Lcr mine, in what uses the matter should be 4nired of in..lreTandi said, that upon its aPpeafing to - the said Committee from the nature of the case, and the number of Witnesses, &c. the same 'cannot be' in_ . squired of by the Committee without great expence, &c. it shall and may be lawful, that the same sha;l be inquired of by Commissioners, &c. in Ireland ;.and after all the provisions of this Bill should be put in force it would leave to the Committee the power of deciding upon the whole of the matter ; and all the proceedings were before Parties and a body of men ading upon oath, and the question therefore was, whether it was for the furtherance of Justice, and to the purity of eleffion of Representatives in Parliament, that such proceedings should take place ; and the clause - which was most objeaed to, made the nature of the written evidence still depend on that of - parole testimony. If the opinion of the Committee was with the written evidence, the • Committee would decide with it. If the Case was one that hung in balance upon the evidence, the Commissioners would give their opinions and transmit the whole to a Committee, and this was a course taken before by those who were chosen by the . Party themselves, and a&ing upon their oaths, and who were to judge of the credibility of the wit_ nesses who gave their evidence. If it appeared that the opinion of the Commissioners was in favour of the evidence, then it must be testimony that ought •to he received and allowed ; if doubtful, it ought t'o be received and finally judged of by the Com mittee. lithe opinion of the Commissioners was , against the evidence, then there was a further light, given to the Committee by the opinion of, such Commissioners being stated to them. Such was the - - outline of the Bill.and its leading provisions, and he trusted the House would determine to allow it to go into a Committee. Lord COLE said, that this Bill was called a Bill to lessen the exiience of Controverted Eleflions..— He was - doubtful'of its pioducing that effea, when !three Lawyers were to have the management of it.. Mr. NICHOLLS was proceeding. to speak, when Strangers were ordered to withdraw, after which the House divided, . . ' • For the.SPEAKER leaving the Chair, 58 ' Against it, .

The Committee at length agreed . to report pro gress, and ask leave to sir again; and the House having resumed, the Committee was ordered to sit again' to-morrow. The House having, resolved itself into a Com mittee to consider of defraying the expend of the trial of•Controverted .

Mr. BANKES moved that it should be printed. Mr. N. VATISITTART wished to know if the- Appendix was to be, printed at length, as it -ap peared extrenlely voluminous. Mr. B ANKES said those parts of it were mark., ed which it was necessary to print, - and would not be very long. It was however agreed to print the. Repor t -only, without the Appendix. Sir HENRY MILDMAY moved to discharge the Order for leave to bring in a Bill for the Pre servation of Black Game in the New Forest, on ac count of informality,--Ordered. Sir HENRY MILDMAY then moved for leave to bring in a new Bill for the better Presertiation of Heath Fowl, commonly called Black Game, in . the New orest.—Leave given. . He then brought up the Bill, which was read a first time,and ordered to he read a second time io,morrow: The Volunteer Corps Bill and the Militia Adju tants Bill were read a third time and passed. The Report of the Bill. for allowing the Army and Navy to exercise Trades, was taken into fur ther consideration and agreed to, and the Bill or dered to be read a third time to-morrow. -Mr. N. VANSITTART brought up a Bill for the better Prevention of SMuggling in Great Britain, which was read a first time, and ordered to be • read a second time to-morrow. . Mr. N. VANSITTART presented an Estimate of Secret Service Money, for nine months ; an Ac count of the Expence of taking an Account of the Population of Great Britain and several other Ac- Counts and Estimates, which he moved should lie , on the Table. Mr. ROBSON said, if it Was intended to vote those Sums to-morrow, he should certainly move that the House be counted. Mr. N. V ANS ITTA RT said, it was certainly his intention to give notice that these Sums would,. be moved to-morrowi but the Hon. Gentleman must pursue that course which he chose. RonsoN then moved, that the House be counted, when, there being only twenty Members present,, an adjournment took place, .at half past 'eleeen o'clock, till to-morrow.

DUNDAS, as in vention and falsehood from beginning to end. The event will prove whether we are right or wrong in haiardingthis opinion. The Rev. Dr. GOODENOUGII, under whose tui tion Mr. ADDING.TON. and his b►'other were placed after they left' Winchester, is confidently spoken of as the new Dean of Roche'ster, in case of Dr. DAM PI E R's being advanced to a See.

These papers, as may be supposed, throw a very broad light on the po. litics of all the Courts in India, and expose a scene of as much fraud and treachery, as ever the human mind had an opportunity of contemplating. By the most convincing documents it is proved, that' previous to the Peace of Paris in 1783, when our Government was fighting the battles of the NABOB of ARCOT, the latter was at that time in treacherous correspondence to betray the Eng lish, though he was believed to be the most sincere Ally they had in Tridia. From the same peiiod up to thedate of the captuie of Seringapa tam, the same intrigues prevailed, for dispossessing us of our power ; and in the Correspondence we have alluded to, it is found that the Court of Lucknow was not ignorant of - what was passing, nor unwilling to give its assistance when the proper time should arrive. The relatives of the late Mr. JOLLIFIVE have opposed the probation of his Will, which went to devise some very extraordinary legacies, particularly one to a celebrated Comic AUress at the Opera House.

A Board was held at Chelsea Hospital- yester. day, for the examination of discharged and inva lid'ed men from the Army .for Chelsea Hospital, out of which 468 were admitted. An extraordinary circumstance occurred at the late festivities in Holland, in celebration of the YeaCei The Officers of the French 17foops in garrison at the Hague, when invited to the Fere, declined attending it ; and the soldiers, on being offered a small gra tuity, refused the money, desiring it might be given *to the Poor. DispatOes were onWednesday received from Sierra Leone, which state that the jimmanys had, on the morning of the t t th April, made a second and wholly unexpeaed attack on the Town. and Fort. They were repulsed after a very short conflitl, and closely pursued to a considerable distance. On the part of the Colony only three men were killed, and a few slightly wounded. The jimmanys being in the habit, of carrying their dead and wounded off the field, even during the heat of alion, it is not easy to ascertain their loss. Thirty-one dead boa dies were Jell behind them in their flight: The enemies of the Settlement appear to have colleaed all their force . on this occasion ; the faci lity, however, with which they were defeated, and the heavy loss su\tained by them would .afford a decisive proof of the supsnority of the Colony. Great praise is given by the Governor and Coun cil to Captain LLoto, comannding' the British Troops, and to' Etisign KING ,Ltv, for their very gallant condua, as, well as to all the Soldiers. The Maroons, and Nova Scotia Settlers are . also said to have acted with touch steadiness and resolu tion' in repelling the enemy. Not one of the servants of the Company was either killed or wounded. Died,. On Monday last, at his Seat at Rushton Hall, Northamptonshire, .the Right Honouriti)lz CHARLES CociwlNE, Lord Viscount . and Baton Cu I.LE N, of Ireland, in the gad year of his age : he was born Sept. ad, 1710, and attained the i,b)ve advanced period of life in,the enjoyment of an Un interrupted state of good health, of excellent abili. ties, and of a very cheerful turn of mind, to which he united the inestimable virtues cif true beneVolence and unbounded generosity. His Lordship was of ancient lineage, and pa tErnally descended from ANDRE ASCOCK AYNE Lord of ' Ashburne, in Derbyshire, in the reign of King HENRY the Second ; whose descendants fre quently represented that County in Parliament : with otheri of his maternal ancestors mu be named, the O'BRIENS Earls of THOMoND, mid the Lords WILLOUGHBY of Parham; of the elder branch of the former we understand his Lordship was the Re. presentative, and by the ' latter he derived his de.. scent from the illustrious Houses of Yo tilt, LAN CASTER, ARUNDEL and RUTLAND. His Lordship was twice married, first to ANNE, 4 (laughter of his uncle Bottt.Ats WARREN, Esq. of Stapleford Hall, in the County of Nottingham ; and secondly, to SOPHIA, daiightcr of JOHN BAXTER, Esq. by his wife ANN, sister and heir of 6-EORGE WOODWARD, Esq. of Stoke, in the County of Ox. ford, and has left issue by both Ladies.
