Ht also gave notice that some measures were in contemplation before a Committee appointed for such purpose; for enabling a number of Surgeons who had been in the service, to enter into employ ment to superintend the health of the Crew of va rious Ships in distant parts of the world—a system which, he trusted, would be attended with particular advantages to the Naval Service of this Country in particular, as well as serviceable to the general cause of Humanity. This, he observed, was a system the want of which had been much lamented by some of the most intelligent' men in Europe. — He begged parddn for not stating these things earlier, but indeed such pressure of business as the House had felt would account_for' this, and other measures not .being in a state of readiness at present. He therefore desired this to be considered as a measure intended to be brought forward in the next ,Session of Parliament. Mr. IRWIN brought up certain Kceounts of Im ports and Expotts up to the . sth of Janeary i 802, which were laid on the Table, and ordered to be printed.

We conclude, that it will be dissolved the day after. WE this morning received Paris Journals of the zzci inst. They contain official notice from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that persons wishing to return to England, must have their Passports in zpeeled by Mr. MEttit,Y, previous to their being permitted to quit Franco. • The French Funds were on the zz st at 54..35. The 116YAL PAMILY again , went to Ascot Races 75n Thursday. 'l;he PRINCE of WALES and a nu- . merous company were also present. The DUKE of 'YORK was in Town on business, but he went to Oatlands to dinner. On his way to Town from Ascot Rates on Thurs ;lay, the PRINCE of WALES dined with the DUKE of Aroax at Oatlands ; and a large party of Gentlemen of the turf, from Ascot, also had the honour of being of the party. Mr, CORBY, the Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland, will leave town for Ireland on Sunday or Monday. The two new Deans . are Drs, VINCENT and GOODEN6UGH, the first of Westminster, the other of Rochester. By their Promotions several good things fall into the Crown. The Hon. and Rev. Mr. WELLEsLry succeeds to the Prebend of West minster, and Mr. CHAMFIGNY to the Canonry of Windsor ; the great Living of . Hanworth goes to Mr. ilooK, and the other Prebend of Westminster to Mr. IRELAND. Lord CAME LFORD has not dispose 3 of his interest. at Old Sarum, as has been generally reported and 'believed. Mr. JEFtr ttys, the present Member for Coven try, has again offered himself as a Candidate for that City, at the requisition of a large body of the Inhabitants. Mr, Tr ERNEY, it seems, is to be opposedin the Borough of Southwark. It must be acknowledged that he came very easily in to that Borough, and it is probable he will. stricve hard to secure his interest, since he has relinquished all thoughts of a Yo_Yage to the East. • INikr. BULLER is certain of being returned for txeter. The contest will be between Sir CH ARIAS BrIZAPP,FYLDE and Mr. GRANGER, the Wine Mer cLant. W e understand . the Borough of Maidstone has been canvassed by its present Representatives so successfully, as to preclude the possibility of any in terference. It is difficult to. conceive why Sir THOMAS Os. BORNE, in his address to the Electors of Waterford, should recommend two Englishmen instead of,Ya, ti , ties, unless he supposed that in this Country we may return the compliment. The Breakfast given by• Mr. PENN, at Stoke Park, on Thursday, whether we consider the sur rounding scenery of that. charming place, the ttssem- Nage cif beauty and fashion, the exertions pf the professional singers, the elegance of the repast, consisting of every delic,4cy seasonbut, above all, the polite and assiduous attention of the accom plished Host, has not been 'exceeded, if eqballed, by any of the splendid. entertainments that have dis tinguished the present era.of national festivity.

The Clyde, at tile Nore, was paid, off yesterday, all standing, and was this day re-commissioned by Capt. ',ARMOUR. THE PICNIC REGATTA. AFTER many changes, and great fluauat ion ofopi_ nion, the. Fete to be given by the Pic-Nic Society took place last night at Ranelagh, on the plan .ad vertised, viz. a ball and supper, GARNERIN'S night balloon to go up, and grand fire-works, the chief, a comet to be displayed, for two guineas and a half, entitling the subscriber to admission to a dinner breakfast on Monday ; when GARNERIN will go up with his Balloon. So little encouragement was given to this plan, that Colonel GREVILLE gave . it up; but, on finding a great expence incurred, which must be paid, he again persevered, and with considerable success, as the company last night was Both numerous and respeetable. They began to assemble about ten o'clock. - All the Tickets were taken at the door by the express desire of the Managers, and notice given to the Subscribers that new Tickets would be .ready, for delivery this day, for the Monday's Fete. The original design was, that the same Tickets should answer for both Fetes, but this plan was improved.' About half after twelve the fire balloon ascended, previous to which the company, which was seled as well as numerous, promenaded in the temporary room. The fire-works- were next displayed, and they were uncommonly brilliant. Two military bands played ; one for country dances. A guard of too soldiers of the Coldstream Regi ment were stationed around the gardens, and on the laWn; in die front of Ranelagh.house, ,to prevent improper persons from obstructing the Company in getting out of. their carriages. • Boodle's Room was the room for the promenade and dancing, and the. comphy supped in the Ro tunda, the same as tin Boodle's night. Indeed, the whole entertainment was 'very much the same, even to colour of the Gentleinenis . coats. .Subscriptions of two guinc , s and- a half for the two Fetes were taken at the door. The Royal Charlotte and Princess Aagusta yachts having lindergone a thorough repair, and brilliant decorations, at Deptford, are ordered immediately round to Weymouth,' to attend upon THEIR MA- It; STIES. The former is commanded by Captain Sir H. BURRARD NEALE, and the latter by Capt.' GREY. Covent Garden Theatre closed for the season last night, with the Comedy of The Busy Body, and the Musical, Entertainment .of &Irina. Being what is technically called a ticket night, the house was very, mrtnerously attended. After the Play, Mr. LEW is came forward a:. usual, :and thanked the Audience, in the name of the Proprietors and Performers, for the liberal patronage which had marked.the season. The Hay-Market Theatre opened for the season last night, with the Comedy of The Heir at Law, 'and the Farce of The Review.; or, The Wags of Windsor. The Comedy is so pleasant in itself; and is so well supported by the Performers throughout, that it retains its popularity. The Farce, though extravagant, is very tliverting, and is well aced. The company has been strengthened by the addition of MURRAY, and Mrs. ST. LEGER. DE CAMP is also added to the list. Mrs. HARLOWE performed Cicely Homespun instead of Mrs. G/BBs, whn, we understand, is in tbestraw. There was a numerous audience, and the entertainments went off with . great applause. Mrs. H. JoliNsTorr was delivered of a son yesterday Morning, and Mrs. GI Bas of a daughter. . The Rev. Mr. TODD has undertaken, it seems, to write a, Lite. of SPENSER the Poet. Dr. JoHN_ soN.did not include the Life of SPENSER in his Biographical Work, for want of materials, and so little is really known of that celebrated Poet,. that Mr. TODD will perform an acceptable service to English literature if he should he able to explore any genuine sources of intelligence. He must, however, proceed with caution, for the Critics and Antiquaries will watch him with suspicion, in every step of , his progress.' The report of Dr. PARR having received a pa ralytic stroke, we are happy to find is quite un fotitided. Mr. WILLIAM BELL, who lately appeared as a Candidatefor the Town of Hull, has declined the contest. The Address to that effed is both candid and horiourable. After stating, that he .considered his cause as that of freedom, he concludes : " I trust, that in these proceedings, I have done nothing to forfeit the esteem of my Fellow-Townsmen, which, if 'continued to me in my profession of an AuCtioneer, will en sure my residence among them, and leave Erie on that account less reason for rogret.

In the Sitting of the Tribunate of yesterday, the Proprietors of St..Domi7igo, Refugees at Nantz, de livered in a•Petition, stating their wish iii return to their property, and their want of resources for such a voyage, and praying that a gratuitous passage might bd . afforded :hem in the vessels at the disposal of Government ; and also the means of subsistence until their departure. This Petition was sent, together with several others, to Government. The great question, whether the Commerce to India shall be free, or a•Privileged Company estab_ lished, will he immediately decided. Mucli has. been written upon the subjeet,, and the result of the discussion appears to be favourable to the freedom of Commerce. STUTTGARD, JUNE 13.--The Gtrman Journals assert positively, that the NegOciations at Paris on the subje&of the Empire, have insensibly, given place to a sort of. Congress between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ambassadors of Austria, Russia andlrussia, resident at Paris. The result of the labours of this Assembly is to be sane_ tinned by the Diet of Ratisbon. The Ministers of Bavaria,. Hesse, and . Wurtemburg, Also attend this Congress. It is certain that for some time past the correspondence between France, Prussia, Austria, and ftussia, has been more alive than ever. Dur ing. the last fifteen days, fourteen Couriers have passed through Wezel, going from Paris to'Be:rliii.

C6NSTANTINOPLEi MAY 10.—The plague con; tinues its ravages at Smyrna, and has began to ma nifest itself in this City. According to the last in tt:ligence froM Egypt, that Country is also infeaed with it. The English Troops, for greater safety, have quitted Rosetta and Alexandria, and encamped at some distance. As to the • political situation of Egypt, it appears to he still the same. NAPLES, MAY 20.—There are now no other Foreign Troops than 3500 Russians, who will em bolic immediately for Corfu, for. which purpose three Russian ships and some other vessels arc at anchor in the Road. His Majesty will not , quit Palermo for the purpose of returning'hither, until these Troops are gone.

A Military Commission (or Court-Martial), took cognizance of the afriir. Twelve of the Citizens were condemned to death, and it ,is said they v: ere executed. The CONSUL was greatly afflicted at this sentence, but the deference he owes to the sol diers obliged him to be silent.-Courier de Londres-. The Catalogue of the last Leipsic Fair has been published.

As Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was most probably deprived of the pleasure of being introduced to, the CHIEF CONSUL, because he has not been presented, at St. James's, it is possible he may have revisited` this Country fox the purpose of being duly qualified.

Boutow ES and Co. had made their 'arrangements With the .Irish ‘Ooverntrient, ; He. con sidered jt unjust, that as they., had embarked in the same concern With Messis. BoßttowEs and Co. they should not enjoy the same advantages, by being allowed to make their remaining. payments in Dub :lin. It.was his opinion that Messrs. Box iOWES and Co, had no right to-bind them to. terms which did< not operate with equal justice on themselves, He contended, that every original Subscriber was as much a Principal as ,Messrs. BORROW.ES and Co,i . (who were in fact Agents) a ru . l'consequen tly ought to enjoy the same benefits with them._ Mr. ROB ARTS next stated, that the Irish Chancellor would be happy to afford any relief in his power:, if any plan could be devised to which ,Messrs. BORAtht ES and Co. would agree; but nothing could be done without their colysent;• as they appeared .to the Chancellor to be the personi considered as Contradors. If; therefore, Messrs. &A:Row-Es and Co. 'persisted in excluding tbem from' the Irish Market, it was a vio.; . ,ition of all good faith between min and man. It was here suggested by. a Gentleman, that Mr. BORROW ES was on the spot, and if it was the wish of the Meeting eie'. would attend, and answer any proper questions that they ;night deem necessary to ask him. 'This proposition was immediately agreed to, and . . Mr. BORROWES came forward, and in answer to several questions put by several Gentlemen, he explained the circumstance of having sold 188,bool, belonging to English Subscribers of the Loan. This was done the very day the bargain. Was anw)unced when he was in. Dublin. That sum had been dis:. posed•of to the Stock Exchange, and, certain'y was for the general benefit of the Loan.. On . that . tieca- Sion, there only was 13,0001. of his own, and in lad he had disposed of the sum in qUeition .(which was at a premium- of 21) and no Mlle, because he had no more he could sell.- 7 1-le was in the situation of wanting rather Stock than purchasers, and he had sold that with which he could take the liberty of doing so without specific authority ; and then he wrote from Dublin to-England, to other Subscribersi to obtain permission . to sell a further quantity at the same rate, - and that, for one, to his own brother. _Mr. Rortßowt.s farther, in the course of the con. versation, stated, that he conceived the Subscribers to be acquainted with the terms on which the Loan was to be executed. .The House of PR E tvC.Y, Bari- ROW Es and Co. was engaged to pay the interest here; and till they were released by their Subscribers at large, must adhere to the original plan, which Was framed upon a - necessity of providing for that engagement. It would be impossible now to change the triode. He, did not see how it could be done. The same complaints now made by the Englishi were in the Loan of z Soo made by the Irish Subscrib= ers, the latter wishing to get into the English Mar.. ken, as the former wished to go into the Irish Mar.. let. He conceived that had not the depression the Funds lately experienced taken place, there would have been no complaint whatever on the subjel. As to the exchange being taken at ten, he said it would be found tr fair average during the period of the pay thents; and+ it was in reference to the whole time that it should be considered,: not as it was at the passing moment, On Mr. BORROWES retiritin . _ _ _ Mr. SMITH rose and observa, that he.conceiveci 'Mr. Boanow E .

He would therefore propose a motion to the effeß, ci That Mr. I3oß 'tow Cs had explained to the satisfa&ion of the Meet; ing, the matter in dispute between the Contradotiv and Subscribers ;"' which motion was seconded, and carried by a majority in hiS favour. Mr. Sm tilt then moved another Resolution; thank. Messr. Boa ROW ES and Co. for the honourable and upright manner with which they cohdaled, the business'of the Lori. Mr. RonAßTs.app..rired sa disgusted at this pro. position, 'that he immediately quitted, the Chair, and left the room exelainiing that - he would rather lose an arm than be the channel of! passing suds a ridiCulous.motion. Mr. 13(ilt ROW ES had, however, fortified himself with friends on the occasion, and the Chair was soon filled by Mr"LANa.
