Lord H. PETTY sakt, that the general ground of the application ‘1 , 23 a strong oce, as the rant lea short of what was intended at that time by Par liament, and as the circumstances of the family at present required the renewal of it. He could not have anticipated my ohjeßion to the renewal, at the three that the memory of int important vicliiry obtained by Lord Rodney was fresh in the memory of the people, and *heti they Still felt its beneficial consequences. ' Viscount CASTLES E AGH was not aware of any pledge of this kind having been given by the late Government ; but he thought it extremely right that the liberality of the country, in rewarding eminent services, should be exterried beyond the individuals by whom such signal viaories might be obtained. Grants of this kind were generally extended to three lives and he saw no reason why the same rule should not obtain it? the present instance. The Resqlution was then agreed to, and the re port ordered to be received to.morroW. Lord H. PET ry obtained leave to bring in a Bill to authorise the granting of new leases on the fotmer rents of ecclesiastical corporations. His Lordship also gave notice, that, in the Committee or tsupply, on Wednesday next, he -should move for compensation to be made to the Commissioners of Naval and Military Inquiry, and to the Land Tax Commissioners. The Committee on the Irish Militia Service Bill Ina deferred till to.mnrrow. rse ARCOT'S DEBTS. Mr. HOBHOUSE nsoveil the second reading of this Bill. - Mr. FRANCIS then rese, mil, after observing that it was a sutler!! well worthy dif the attention of the House, said, that he would endeavour to con ciliate it, by being as dont as possible on the sub. left ; though. in doing so, he w .5 aware that he must omit many circumstances well worthy of no tiew The sum claitned under the head of these debts, from the reechoes et the Catnatie. was 9,200,0001., of which he understood 3,628,0001. had already been discharged ; the remaining sum was 5.572,0001, from the atiolint of which, it should seem as if the monied men of the Stock FA. a.ge had game out ti ladle for the purpose of us Weakest, such east qeantities of money. All this must eventually come upon the haw India Company, r::thewhelebudgetre"n".ofest'o-as would rrow probably a ro means flaurishing. either at hoe* or abroad j and which c oul d, therefor's say slw . &ne it by borrowieg more, and tinning Fatther en debt.— In moat of this, he referred to the late peace made in great baste. and even suddenly. by Sir Georg* Barlow, with 4eindiali. Hollriir: and OWSOr TWo other powers, which he with the war. from the great want of money us all the Presidencies. By what he heard of the terms of the treaty. he bad doubts bow far that quickness and rapidity of making peace was advisable. Ccracessions were made to &India... of territories whist were never before his property I aid an Hi.nourabk Gestkonen. op posne to him (Sir A. Weilestey), would no doubt afford that information to the Hue*, which be was so capable of doing ; namely. whether this peace was concluded with proper prudence and caution, cm the part of the English Government ? What be wished to know upon that inbjed, par titularly. was. whether Sir G. Harlow. was. in point of ft sauces, able to continue the war any longer?— It had been stated. he said, that a great pan of the debts wet* fraudulent ; sad he en himself confirmed in the opinion, that, by far the greater were not well headed. To prove this, it was ry to examine who the persons were who med. and ha what situation they stood, at the e the securities were given. The lino. Gentle. then mentioned the Dames of Mr. Sullivan and Hellas). who were claimants ; the represents .. or the former, foe 27,3001.. and the latter, fur 35.0001. ; and he could by co mesas find out hcw the Nabob became liable to these debts. He ad vised the House to take great tare how they allowed these claims, as the fact was, that the Pr:nc:s of India had a public and a priv, a treasury ; and if they could gaits any advantage by giving an order on the former. they were ready to do it, as it never would be paid. Oa the whole. he wished that the seco..4 reading should be postponed for two or three months; and that. after a SWIM enquiry was made by His Majesty's Ministers, the matter should be brought co next Session. Mr. SULLIVAN entered iato an explanation of the claim set up by the representative of Mr. Stephen Sullivan, who, before his death, had ordered the hood to be cancelled; but his son did not think it prudent. en account of the embarrassed state of his father's circumstances, to give it up. Lord H EN RY PET FY differed in the conclusion drawn by his Hoe. Friend ( Mrs Fraacis). though he agreed with him that a great part of the claims were fraudulent. These, on inquiry, would probably be set aside; and as some of the claims were allowed to be just, he did not think the mea.ure should be delayed. The Noble Lard then expressed his wish that the Bill should he so altered in the Committee, as not to make any debts valid, which were not proved before it passed; and concluded, by sayiug, that as Parliament and the public were materially concerned, he thought it would be prudent to add a commission. to act tin the pan of the public with the commissioners who acted for the creditors. Mr. SULLIVAN and Mr. FRANCIS explained. Mr. GRANT went over the different arguments used by Mr. Francis, in most of which he differed i , him, and though t th at t h e p resent agreement die payments of t h e d e b ts was goo d and valid in ar.d must be fulfilled, unit * a superior power posed. • ' ARTHUR WELLESLEY shortly observed nature of the treaties -which had been lastly . by Sir George Barlow ; he did not, lie s Hsi, much *bust them, but he believed they were as goed a; could be made under the existing cir cumstances, and he supposed Sir George aged ac cording to initiations. Mr. R. THORNTON said, the Court of Direc tors thought these treaties were for the berwit of the Comtany ; and he was convir.ced, that on Wed • • . I 11541,1 net, the ll , ieettnn would vote their appeo batioa of thee olden of oar George Barlow. • Dr. LAURENCE went into parelculit strt nsent of the origin eV vine of these debt:, de greater part of which, be ec-isidered, were frandttlea.— Tt:e Honourable Gentleman then adverted to the claim of Gen. Sydenhani r 3‘ 13 . tilat the °Pi nion expresed by the Court of DireSoir of the valid ity of the debt upon one bond; ought nut to be held as a recommendation for the payment of three others, which constituted a new demand. A lull scrutiny ought to be inuitoted into these claims. as thv annual outgoing of 136,0001. which, according to their present complexion, they would require of the country, WAS a sum worth looking at. He wished fur a public Bill, appointing a Committee, and requiring the Members to repot t, from time to time, what might he elicited by their inquiry. The• • uses to be introduced by the Noble Lord (Petty), doubted would he inefficient to the end desired ; wever, the Noble Laud might try the clanses in Committee, and he (Dr. Laurence), should re ve to himself the right of objeatng to the Bill (-Tether, on the third reading. Mr. GRANT explained. Viscount CASTLEREAGH thought that Par ent ought to have the clearest proofs of fraud, see they arrested the formality of the covenants which the claimants held as security for the debts. Three was no ease made out for stopping the pro greu of the present Commissioners, and Parliament had never interfered so far as to proceed itself to the appointment of Commissions of the' nature proposed by the Honourable Gentleman (Nlr. Francis), except in eases of a jealousy of the Execu tive Government ; bet in this case the appointment. he thought, rested with that Executive Govern ment. Mr. H. MARTIN thought, that as, by the Ad of Incorporation the public had an interest to the arnimat of 503,0001. in the affairs •-f . the East India Company, that 'Company had not the power of binding the public by agreements. When first the sutijeet was brought before Parliament, the claims amounted to less than 4000,0001. and might have been compounded for 600.0001. ; but the come- queues of the inquiry in the year 1704, was, that for principal and premium, the sum of 1,570.0001. was paid. He thou g h t t h e Bill very obits }humble in its principle, and therefore gave his hearty sup. port to the motion of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Francis). Mr. HOBHOUSE supported the bill, and thought that the creditors hid an equitable lien on the revenue of the Carnatic. Those gentlemen who sappbsed the debts fraudulent, should;he conceived, be the readiest to erns the Commisiioners with ex tended and lull powers. Dr. LAURENCE and Mr. FRANCIS ex plained.. The gallm , was then cleared, but the bill was read a sewed tins* without a division. and ordered to be committed. Mr. Hobhouse obtained leave to bring in a BM farreplating the Duties upon Malt. The other orders were disposed of, and, at Twelve o'clock, the House adjourned. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, Jute S.

They state that the objea of General Mi t asna's expedition has been defeated ; and that he has been oblzed, by a man of war biig, and a schooner. sent from La Guira, to fly from the coast of Cumana, in the Fender, leaving the two schooners, which were in her company, behind. Se veral of his officers were un board the schooners. We have received Hamburgh Papers to the 2fith last, and Dutch to the 4th lila. The P.ris Papers, the contents of which we gave yesterday, stated that M. D'Ousait had arrived at Brussels.

They also announce that Bose., a ts. intends to visit Boulogne. The French Funds were, cm the 30th, at 65, 10. Some of our contemporaries appear to hare made, yesterday, a wonderful discovery. They have found out that a negociation is in train between England and France; a fad long since announced, and daily repeated by this Paper. Like all other con verts, they; however, hope to prove their sincerity by an excess of zeal. They who, a few days ago, treated the idea of a negociation with ridicule, are now ready to fly to the opposite extreme, and con fidently assert, that Mr. Fox has a treaty of peace ready signed and sealed in his pocket, but that he will not produce it " until the nes; Session of Par liament, by which time he will complete the re. establishment of his health, and be able to bear the fatigue of debating." We quote the words of an Opposition Prim, as a proof of the honor which it entertains of the eloquence of its patrons. night ly!, indeed, most be that debating, to avoid which, Mr. Fox would sacrifice a moment of peace. We stared long since that a considerable „ . . progrns had been mate in the nzgociation, and d u i in the event of Lora Hoccoon's visit to Fran- t i t would be for the puipose of signing a defiaitis k treaty.
