G en tl eman h a d compare d t hi s ease to thitt of Lord RODNEY, on the taking of St. Eustatia but they were totally dissiMilar, for Lord RouriEy (and he lamented the inconvenience that Noble Lord had sustained) aced upon his own Judgment and his own responsibility ; whereas, Lords St. VINCENT and GREY acted, not upon their own respOnsibility, but in consequence of po- . sitive 'orders from Government. As to any other . Claim s being made by other Officers, that could not be the case, because they acted under the orders of Lords ST. ITINc tINT and GREY, whom it was now proposed to indemnify'. Dr. .LAWRENCE said, it was impossible that any other claims could be made,Thecause the present indemnity would comprise the whole. As to the comparison of this case with that of Lord RODNEY, there would have been no foundation for. such a c i oMparis on; even if_Lords ST. VINCENT and GREY had riot acted upon positive orders. Mr. .ONES .. objeaed to the great amount of the Law Charges, and alluded to an observation of Lord - -EN upon the great amount of Fees in the Admiralty Court.

WM.. BURROUGHS, Esq. the Company's Ad vocate General in Bengal, is, we understand, about to return to Europe; and it is expeeted that Mr. STRETTLE, the Senior Counsel of the Company at Calcutta, will be his successor. Lord and Lady CAHIR are expeCted to return shortly from Paris, where they have resided some time. A Paragraph inadvertently got admission into our Paper of yesterday, alluding to a' very amiable young Lady of high rank and fashion, which we most truly regret. It is ever far from our inten. tion to wound the feelings of any indiMual, and more particularly one whose rank and virtues entitle' her to general respe& and esteem. The Moniteur has written its recantation of the. abuse which it indulged in against the t nglish Newspapers, by stating, that the Article was copied from a new Paper, called The Bulletin de Paris, published twice in a Decade, or ten days. This proves, that the French Government thought the Article demanAed an apology. THE ORATORIO.— A selection from HANDEL was the Attradion at: Covent_Garden Theatre last night. Mrs. BILLINCTON sung in the first and second ad, and then went to the Ancient Concert. She sung Mad Bess with great skill and expression: BitAxAm gradually- enter 4 into the true taste of HANDEL'S music. The chorusses were adniirably totted and forcible. The house was very well attended. The Comic Opera of Rinaldo D' Alt; was Tented on Tuesday night to a very genteel audience, and, as usual, well received. The ballet of I eza, which followed, has as yet lost none of its attrac. tions; The Opera House was very numerously attended yesterday morning, at the rehearsal of Pqlifonte et Merole, which is to be brought fortirard for the Benefit Of BANTI; Indeed there was nearly as great a crowd as on an evening representa . tion. The music is some of the very best that NASO Wbas composed, and; in addition to its intrinsic.excel. lence, it has the merit of exa.4ly suiting the powers of the Performers. Mrs. BILLINGTON acquitted herself' sa - well, .that she obtained enthusiastic plause, and it was - generally admitted that she never appeared to so much advantage. -But much as. we may be gratified in the success of an English Singer, it is but justice to BAN TI Say, that she sings with:admirable skill ; and in point of acing, she is entitled to very high praise.

His Lord ship was taking a walk in.the New Road, and it is presumed was kited with an attack in his head, which coMpelled him to go into a house on. the spot where he was taken ill. As soon as he was in the house, he was just able to articulate, '" send for Mr. firAvlsiut," whom accidentally the fa mily knew. His Lordship direaly after became speechless, and senseless. Mr. 1-I"EAV tSIDE was sent for, and went immediately, and found his Lord ship in an apopleaic fit : he direaly wrote to Lady FAUCONSERG to bring instantly-a Physician ; and in thennean-time bled him in the temporal artery, and used other means till their arrival ; but unfor tunately his Lordship survived only an hour after. &tic:it - Jr.—On Tuesday afternoon, about ,six o'clock, a Gentleman of fortune and consequence in the City, put an end to his existence,- at Don Sal. tero's Coffee-house, in Chelsea. It appears that the unfortunate Gentleman had laboured under a state of mental derangement for some months, occasi oned by bodily afiliaion, and was at times so much affeaed, that his Sons had thought it necessary to have a confidential person constantly attending. him, and had induced a man who had lived many years in the family, in the capacity of Cutler and Steward, but who had taken a farm of his mas ter's in the neighbourhood of Hoddesdon, to relin quish it, in order to attend to his unhappy Mas ter. A house was taken for them in Sloane..street, Chelsea, where they have remained for SQMe . time ; but fit length it was proposed for change of scene, to visit Bath, and on Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, the Attendant left his Master in charge of the Footman, whilst he went to purchase a horse to assist in taking them the journey. About eleven o'clock the deceased prevailed upon this Foot man to go abot some business to the stable, and in that interval availed himself of the opportunity to make his escape out of the street door, when it appears. he took a hackney coach to Piccadilly, where it is con-- jeaured he purchased the instrument of his destruc tion. lie then took another coach, and ordered the driver to take him to Don Saltero's Coffeehouse, where he arrived about half past twelve o'clock, and enquired for a private room, and pen, ink, and paper. Having remained up-stairs some time, he asked if he could be accommodated with a couple of mutton chops for ,dinner, and as he was cold, requested a fire to be made. At four o'clock he dined, and after dinner ordered a pint of wine, which having been brought, he intimated to the servant that . he should not want him for the pre. sent. About half past six o'clock, it growing dusk, the waiter-thought it time to take him a light, • when, on going into the room, he fbund the un fortunate Gentleman laying on the floor,- weltering in his blood, and a small 'pistol a short distance f'om him, with which he had shot himself threugh the head. The man called:out for his master, and was so afFeaed with the shock, as to be seized with such strong fits that it required several men to hold him, and he now remains very ill. A Letter was found on the table, direted for the deceased's eldest Son, which was immediately dispatched to Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, a Coroner's Inquest 'sat upon'the body, and without much deli beration brought in a verdift of Lrorag; and about nine o'clock the-body was4e.snoVecilroathe coffee._ house to Sivanrz.streer, IvlAßcet 21'. - -v-e • ,stre,-.` LETTERS frntitMizdrid, fix the arproathing month of August for the journey of Their CATROL c MA JESTA'S to Ba,ece'loira., where they are to Meet the kl ! !
