Pergiosite., anti h.molumerts of certain Pub lic Offices in Ireland, which w•• laid upon the Table. Mr.-1.41111n, from the lii.h Secretary of State's Office. presented certain Accounts, directed to he aid annually before Parliament, from the Corn snibsioners of Public Accounts iii Ireland.—Or- tiered to he on the Table. Mc)l'lom irou TH %SAS. The Order of the Day, ti,r summoning their Lordships, being read, bird IVA acquainted the Hems*, that his Noble Friend (Lot d ), who had given notice of his intention to bring forward a mo tto,. for the thanks of the II iuse t.r Vice-Admiral Lord (..illingwood, and the ()dicers, ice. under his command, teat day, being un a ble to at tend in his place,, he had to propose that the said I Order be postponed ; be added, it was the intention, of his Noble Friend to appear in his place. ran Men.' sisy, when he would acquaint their I.mbhips vita/ the patticitlir day or. which he arr.uld b ing forward chat mottoes. Before he sat &ram, be n-gged to tn vire of any bionic Lewd, whether it were the ;hien tion of a Noble Earl (Cowper) )ow'. abseni,po whose motion the Ilriit‘e stood summoned tor Moodav, bring forward h proposed motion on that day ? Lord iIOLLANI) Caserved, that, in the ab sence of his N hie Fileatl (Earl Cooper), who was that day prevented t run attending, by'. slight indis position. he had authority to state, that vie Noble Earl did not intc:id, for obvioas reasons, to bring on his motion on that day. Under that imptession, therefore, he had no hesitttion to move, that the order fur summoning their Lordships, for Monday, be discharged." At a t iture opportunity, his No ble Friend would acquaint their Lordships with his intentions respecting the motion in question. A few observations were then intercharged be tween Lords Walsingham and Holland, respecting the point of form in discharging the olden referred to. After which, the order tor summontng for Mon day, was, on the motion of Lord Holland, regularly ditch-vied. Relative to the intended postponement of the motion, which stood for that day, The Duke of NORFOLK addressed a few obser vations to the House. He thought some particu lar reason should be a.signed. for deferring a mo tion of the peculiar attire mud importance of that in 4nestion. He recalled to the attention of the Hours. the great and eminent services to their country. which had been tendered by the Noble Admirals and the OLers, and Seamen under his ceramist', to whom it was proposed that even ing to vote the thanks of the House. It was that sort of proposition ' which every Noble herd in the Hoarse would feel the greatest pleasure in acceding to. He saw se necessity for postponing the mo tion, or why it should exclasively come from the Noble Secretary of State; it was one which may be forthwith proposed by any Noble Lord; but, in ge neral, such a proposition tame from the first Lord of the Admiralty. The postponement of such a motion was a very unusual thing ; in the present in stance, he saw no possible reason for the delay, nor was any auigned. Though be thought it incumbent on him to observe thus mach, he had no intention of coming forward on the occasion himself; but he wished that some reason were given for postponing the intended motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the wool sack, and shortly observed, that the Noble Lord in question had concluded himself in every step he had occasion to take in the business, with the greatest propriety and respal tuwards those who were to be the objeft of their Lordships' Thanks ; that he, himself, and, he was persuaded, all their Lordships entertained the highest possible sense for their most invaluable services ; and he doubted not. his Noble Friend could assign adequate reasons for the proceeding of that night. The Order in question was then postponed. The Duke of NORFOLK wished to know, whether it were the intention of the Noble Secretary of State, to bring forward the motion for Thanks on Monday Lord WALSINGHAM replied, the intent was to give notice on that day upon what particular fu ture day the motion shonld be made. Lord. HOLLAND then observed, the motion was, in area. deferred Sine the. Lord WALSINGHAM observed, that cer tainly, on Monday, the particular future day would be speeified. The House then adjosweed till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. ANSWER TO THE ADDRFSS. The SPEAKER.on his taking the Chair, announc ed eta the House had been to St. James's, and pre sented their Addseu, in answer to the Speech of the Lords Commissioners to His Majesty. upon the Throne, who was graciously pleased to make an answer to the following aka : “ Gentlemen—l thank you for this loyal and dutiful address. Your condolence on the death of my brother, the late Dula of Gloucester, affords me an additional proof of your affection and attach ment to my person and fatuity. Your congratula tion, on she disposition manifested by the Emperor of Russia, the with you express for my maintaining an intimate conflation with that power. and the as surances given me of support, will, I trust, enable me to look forward to the termination of the present contest, in a manner consistent with the honour of my crown, and the interests and safety my do minione." Several private Petitions were received, and re fined to Committees. Mr. Johnson. from the Chief Secretary's Office. its Ireland, presented the Thiny-first Report of the Commissioners of Accounts, in Ireland. Lord Garb's took the oaths and his seat for Coc kernsouth. LORD MELVILLE'. PLEA. A Message from the Lords brought up a copy of the answer of Henry Lord ViscoUnt Melville, to the charges of Impeachment brooght against him in the name of the Commons of England, by the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses, in Parliament assembled ; which being read, on the motion of Mr. Whitbread, was to the following effect :—" The Noble Lord saves to himself all the advantages of the exceptions to be taken, in point of law, to the said articles, and all the rights and prerogatives be longing to his order. lie then pleads, that he is not guilty of all or any of the charges, in the man ner and form that they have been alleged against him, submits himself and his cause to the honour and justice of the House, and prays that he may be di , chaiged from those several allegations." Mr. WHITBREAD moved, that the said answer be referred to the Comm;ttee on the impeachment, tor them to report what further proceedings ate to be taken thereon.—Ordered. SEAMEN AND MARINES. Mr. WILLIAM DICKENSON gave notice, that he would move the estimates of the Seamen and Marines, for the service of the ensuing year, in the Committee of supply. on Monday next. Mr. Larkin. from the Commissioners of En quiry in Ireland, pr-rented, pursu.int to a 8 of Par liament. an account of the amount of the fees, gra tuitiet, and emoluments is the puldie olL.:es of that country.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. Alexander brought up the Report of the • Cn r.-etic: or. the eel:it:rig laws.-o.lfred to be printed. Lord CASTLPRKAGII said, that for the pnr pose of haring a more LH attendance, he was in duced to defer his motion of thanks to the Ares, seamen. and marines, engaged in the two List nasal vianries, to a future city, of which he should probably be able to give notice on Monday next. Mr. PAULL, gave notice, that on Wednesday nest he should move for the produClion of a letter dat-d the 30-. h of June last, (tom Lord Viscount Melville to the Cnairman of the Court of DireCtors of the East Indi h Company ; and that on Monday he should submit a motiou relating to the conduCt of the Marquis Wellesley. MARK OF RESPECT Tel TILE MEMORY OF MR. PIT P. Hen.'llF.NR I.ASCELLES rose, under evident and considerable emotion, and addressed the House to the following effect :•—•‘• I rise, Sir, for the pur pose of giving notice, that it is my intention on Monday next to draw the attention of the Home to what has, I am sure, been a subjeet of grief and melancholy throughout the whole country ; I mean the death of the late Prime Minister. The °tie& I have in view is to propose to the House a mark of signal respect to the memory of that great man." The House resolved itself into a Committee upon that part of the Address which promised .support to His Mesty's exertions; and voted, that a supply be grante d to His Majesty. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. LORD H. PETTY% MOTION. Lord CAS f'LEREAGH said, though he did not 'tea Noble Lord (H. Petty), in hie-place, he wished to know whether any of the gentlemen opposite to him thought himself authorised to declare whether it *ere the intention of that Noble Lord to being for- Ward, so early as Monday next, the motion of which ihe gave notice for that day t He was the more particularly anxioes for farther delay, as he must confess, that in their present state of mind, neither he, nor his friends, could expeCt to be then capable of the personal exertion which so important a dis cussion would require. Mr. FOX---f‘ In the absence of my Noble Friend, I believe, I can undertake to say, that, in the present circumstances, it will be impossible to bring forward, on Monday next, the motion of which he gave no tice. But, as it is reasonable to expect, that, in the course of a few days, the state of the country will be more intelligible than it is now, I think it highly expedient that this important subject should be brought forward within the shortest period praeica ble. As to the notice just now giver: by the Hon. Gent. (Mr. Lascelles) under the galleti, he knows best himself what it is he means to propose. If it should be of such a nature as would lead unavoid ably into the discussion deprecated for the present, I think it had better be deterred till the other ques tion shall be disposed. On the other hand, should it be of that description which Gentlemen could support, without what they might think a derelic tion of public duty, I do not suppose that there would be any objeetion to it. That, hoWever. is matter which the Hon. Gentleman and his Friends will, no Jurist, consider." The House then adjourned till to-morrow. • THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, 1 -•NUARY 23. Various plans of a new Ministry were circulated yesterday, but none, we believe, upon any substan tial grounds. The Lord Cis AnCiLLOR, in the Loris and Lord CAST zzzzz Oil, in the Commons, were the only Members of Administration who attended in either House of Parliament. The attention of the rest was probably occupied with the business of the new arrangements. Earl Cow PEk'S Mo tion, fixed for 'Monday, in the House of Lords, was postponed Sint Ss. Lord HESIIIIr PCTTV's motion, announced fir Monday, in the House of Commons, is also to stand over ; Mr. Fox having admitted, that. in the present circumstances of the country, it will be impossible to, bring it forward on that day. Ile at the same time expressed an expedation, that in a few dap the states of the country will be more intelligible that it now is. By this expression, we are to understand, he meant that the new Ministry will be arranged to a certain ex tent. The Prince of Watts and the Duke of Yost( arrived, yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, at Windsor, and returned to town, at half past four in the afternoon. The objed of their •isit is , supposed to be conneded with the new arrange ments. It was thought probable that His M a- JESTT will come to town this day, to hold a Privy Council, when some steps will be taken in this important business. The Coalition, we understand, remains firm and united. The Gitemvi ties rely with confidence on the old Opposition, and the latter are not to be detach ed from the Gs tis•ti.r c party. If they stood the test during Mr. Pits's Isle, how much more crimped and steady must they be, now that he is gone i If the love and esteem which the G Ls. VII. Les bore fur that great man. :Ind the influence of his address and talents, could not effe't division, there can be no possible chance of splitting the coalition now. The Caen vi Luis, who refused to ad with Mr. PITT, will never coalesce with Viscount SiDSIOUTN, or Viscount CASTLE ALAGN. Orders have been sent to the Con:inept, for the return of our :rnops, and dire Ling their immediate erribarkation for that purpose, on board the trans ports is the Weser. This proceeding is the result I of a Convention entered iwo brtween the Ri ni of PAUSII A and lime P s a rt., by r . hich the tom e , is to occupy Hanover V , di his troops, until the conclusion of a (icneral The Conven tion ext e n d s , we most pr••su^r , to the Swedes a•td Shassians, who are also t•' return to their reTpeeliv e homes.—lt Nei:od not he consistent with the sent. rosity and knows hcalitir of the British natiwn, t o. Consult only its own interests, reg irdless of the safe. * ty and welfare of its Allies. 'l'he return of the British trews is evidence that the o9ett' whi c h brott:;ht them into Haniiver, with the SAesi:i and Russians, is abandoned ; and if so, the continuauste of the two latter in that colour!, can be no longer necessary or deniin'ile. The ultimate fate of Hanover, can be only matter of conjeaure.—Prus sia will certainly exp. 5t an equ'valent for those ter. ritories in Plane oda, of which she has been despoiled, to eke um a linAdom for 0. eof llott flea a 6'60 ites.r Sovereigns. In accept;il ; .t H anover .t, a trust, may, therefore, have an eve to its permanent pra session. It is, from its si u.t:ion, the most obvhiii,. quarter to which she can look for indemnity, g ni that which the policy of 8t.)% AP •ATt would most probably sugget. It would be strialy congenial with his pi ins for excluding England from Conti nental coutieaion, which has been, whether in peace or in war. a favourite maxim in his policy. It will be remembered too, he lately declared, that the Eleaorate of llanover would, probably, presen t the greatest diA:iilty in the arrangement for a :e. neral peace. %\ !.:a he made a eeclaration to tiA effeili, he must have Lad something mote in view respeaing that Eletorate, than its temporary occu pation by Prussia. The Hon. HENR• LAS:ALLIS yesterday gave notice, in the House of Commons, of a motion, on Monday, for a mark of testae& to the memory of Mr. PITT. Mr. Weir a a TAD ; We understand, means to bring forward a motion, in condemnation of those persons who have allowed Lord Ia s Lyon's coftin to be thewn for money in St. Paul's Church. Mr. MILLS, the Messenger, arrived in town, tom abroad, on Su:.day. On Monday, Mr. Peewit, the Messinger, I left tewn for abroad. The Prior William, armed ship, with a fleet under convey, for Llsiume, is arrived in thi Wm, ber. The .4dir tire, WA rsos. from Malta, for Lon don, is tntally lost at Jersey ; ceeee saved. • The isree,..:e, Busy, from Malta, for London, has hrundered at sea ; crew saved. 'the Wi.'l;ant, SOL' Lis v. from London, for Maltx, is take 1, and carried into- Algesiras. On the e9rh last, the Gibraltar fleet, consisfine of 25 vessels, sailed under convoy of L' Amiable 1r - gate, Cordele and Ch./dery sloops of war, one of which (name unknown) was burnt. being in distress. 'On the 15th inst. the Hamill° parted company in a I gale of wind, about 120 leagues to the S.W. of the Lizard. The Wiffienr, Soessev, from London to Malta, is captured by the Spanish gun-boats, and carried into Algeciras. The Amend,/ frigate is to be repaire.t for imme diate service, at Woolwich ; at which place the Clyde frigate will be commissioned in a few days. The . 1 / a re, Mort R Isom, and the O'Hera, from Jamaica, arrived at Charleston, on the 22d of De cember ; sailed with th., fleet, consisting of about ,;0 sail, and parted en the 12th of December, in lat. 24. long. 70. Advices from Madeira, of the 24th December, state, that the erincess Mary, (laves, Pert,reraucc. and Uerve, from the West Indies ; Herald, from Newfoundland ; Rcpt, bound to Oporto, taken by the Rochefort squadron, were carried into Tenerife, there unloadei, and disposed of. The Mope was purchased by some Portuguese, and sent for Lisbon. The East India ships, .Inn, Masson ; and Tigrib. GRAHAM; bound for Madras and I3engal, were getting tinder way from Madeira, the 17th of Oc tober last By private letters from Bengal, we learn, that the. indigo crop this _e ,sun has been very abundant, ar I of excellent quality. It is computed, that the expo. t • atiun cannot be L•ss than 60,000 maunds (a mans) is 7albe.) which is nearly equal to the exportation of the two Lot seasons put together. Luckily the Arabs have purchased between 6000 and 7000 maunds, which is so much out of the European mar ket, and promises to open a new channel for that eammodiry, a well as u-I cur Lures as attain. The Perri ins used formerly to I , e saophed from the upper provinces of Hindustan, hot the warfare there, and more particularly the claillions of intermediate petty Sovereigns, leave prevented the Indigo, &c. from goiag by land, and obliged the purchasers to come round and supply th';i:• selves in the Calcutta Market. This gives t; e Bengal Indigo a chance if competition, Imo: favourable to it, as well from its quality, as because it can be supplied much cheaper to the Tersians by sea, than by its former tedious lard carriage. In this way, too, the injedicious exa;llio of the native Princes will punish itself, by the tot.i loss of a considera;de branch of revenue. Letter', received from an Officer of the 9th regi ment, by a Gentleman of Plymouth. stare, that about 400 of that tine regiment were, in the !Ate hurricanes, forced on the coast of France, near Cala,s, in ore of the trarvirorts. They were all saved by the hu mane exertions of th: people of Ca and part of their hag:: tge. An eminent merchant, whose name, for obvious reasons, is not mentioned, near Calais, came very ban I>omely forward, and offered th.: Commanding Officer of the 9th, airy money lie might want tor the accommodation of the Or.i:eis and Men, to purchase their necessaries, previnua their rnst en into 01-r interior.
