['OUSE Ott LORlJS—Fatosr, Jimimar Si. The Bishop of Clonfert, one of the Irish Repre senrittve Peers, was sworn, and took his seat. Th.• private hills before the Hon , e, chid? Natu ralization, were forwarded in their respedive stages. PIKEIGN TREATIES. After some time had elapsed, Lord MULGRAVE entered the House, and ob served to their Lordships, that in reference to what he had stated on a former evening, he should have, by command of His 111;_jsty, to lay before the House, on Monday next, some additional papers, and documents, relative to the Treaties, copies of which he Lid on the table last Tuesday. Of these, the prints were ready for delivery. When the addi tional documents should be before the House, on Monday, he should have to trouble their Lordships with some observations, ur on Tuesday, at farthest, respefting the nature and effefl of those Treaties, and the seasons for the farther communication of papers to the extent to which they should be laid before the House, and why a farther selection of papers was deemed unnecessary. He hoped what he then said would be sufficient to induce a full at. tendaace of their Lordships, for the consideration of what he should submit. Alter some routine business was transalted, Lord MULGRAVE again rose, and stated, that on further consideration, he thought it would be proper, in order to insure a full attendance for the discussion of a subjen of such public magnitude and importance, to have their Lordships summoned; and, as Tuesday next would most probably be the day on which he should have to submit the consi derations to which he alluded, he should move, that the Lords be summoned for Tuesday next ; this, on the question being put, was ordered accord ingly. The house immediately adjourned till Monday. HOWSE OF COMMONS. •••••••• Mr. POOLE, pursuant to an order of the House, presented an account of the Ordnance Service, an provided for by Parliament. He said, this was for the purpose of enabling the treasuty to issue money for the set vice of that Department, till the general estimates should be laid before the House. and gave notice, that be should move, that it be referred to a Committee of Supply on Monday next. The ac counts were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Alexander brought up the Report of the Committee of Ways and Means of Wednesday— which was agreed to. Lord STOPFORD reported, that His Majesty bad been waited on with the Addresses of that House, for a Monument in St. Paul's Cathedral, to Captains Duff and Cooke; and the Address for burying Mr. Pitt at the public charge, and erect ing a Monument to him in the collegiate Church of St. Peter's, Westminster. Mr. JAMES FITZGERAI.D said, that wishing as mach as possible to assimilate the laws and re gulations of Great Britain and Ireland, he rose to propose a measure similar to that which the Speak -5r himself took the lead in, fur the benefit of Great Britain. Nothing could be more beneficial to the interests of any country, in respea to its physical crength, its agriculture, and its industry, than to ascertain the amount of its actual sod growing po pulation. He acknowledged, that Ireland was very deficient in the documents necessary fore informa tion on that subjed, as there was no regular regis. ters of births, marriages, or burials, nor any poor houses, which might facilitate such enquiries.— What he meant to provide was, that the Magistrates of Dublin, and other counties, should be empow ered, at Quarter Sessions, in aid of the assistant barristers, to appoint one or more housekeeper or housekeepers, properly qualified. to certify the po pulation of the different distrifts, and that the ex pences should be defrayed by assessments on the ba ronies, after the manner of presentments by grand juries. After the bill should be read a first time, he should move, that it be printed, and defer the second reading till after the Easter holidays. He then moved for leave to bring in a bill for ascertain ing the population of It eland—which was agreed to. Mr. Huskisson brought up a list of the public accountants, pursuant to Mt of Parliament. Or dered to lie on the table. Mr. KEENE moved for copies of the correspond ence of the Governor-General of Bengal, respeet- ing the claims of certain individuals upon the late and present Nabobs of Oude. and what proceedings were taken by the Court of Direaurs relative there to; which Wat agieed to. Mr. STURGESS BOURNE gave notice, that he would, on Monday next move, that the Com mittee on the Middlesex EleCtion be deferred from the day on which it was fixed, to the Friday lowing ; in order to have, more probably, a fuller attendance of member. The SECRETARY at WAR, before mewing that the House should .go into a committee on the army estimates, expressed a hope, that in the pre sent circumstances oldie country, the House would depart from the usual custom of leaving the esti mates a week on the table before they were voted. The reason why he proposed their going into a committee immediately, was the danger of the grants of last year being exhausted, and the mi litary service unprovided for, should the House, as was probable, adjourn for a fortnight. There was he said, a precedent for this. in the year 1799, when the estimates were laid on the table the Ist of Oc tober, and voted on the 3d. The House then resolved itself into a Committee, to which the several Papers were referred, and agreed to the following Resolutions, after the Se cretary at War had apprized them that the Estimates were drawn up on the principle of last year, with only two additions, first, in the exercise of the re gular forces, and 2dly, the Militia, pursuant to the Act of the 44th of the King. 1 st.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, Fszaumtv 1. I.ord GRENVILLE waited yesterday upon the Prince of Wain. at Carlton House. Ile nest proceeded to the QuclN'S I louce, where he had an audience of His MaaisTy, that lasted from two until about half past two o'clock. His Lordship then went to the House of Earl SPENCER, in St. James's Place, where he was soon joined by Messrs. Fox, Wisnita sr, and GREY, with whom he re mained in consultation until four o'clock. A repor t had generally prevailed, that Lord GnENVIL C had only revested the delay of Thursday to settle his plan of a new Ministry, and prepare it for the Royal consideration. It is supposed, that his Lordship, accordingly, submitted it to His MAJESTY yester day ; hut, from the magnitude of the subjen, and the shortness of the interview between him and Lord GRENVILLE, we cannot presume, that it yes terday received, even in part, the Royals to lion. It was, reported, indeed, last night, that Mr. Fox is excluded from the new arrangement ; but we mug be slow to credit such a story. It appears to be only a suspicion arising from the re-appearance of Viscount Sinnovra and Lord Howl:Etat:ay upon the political theatre. The LORD Chl ANC LL i.na and Lord HAWKESReItV had audiences of His MA. arsr sr last night, from eight until ten o'clock.— Lord HOLLAND, Mr. GitET, and Mr. SHERIDAN,. visited Mr. Fox yesterday, at his house, in Arling ton-street ; and, at one o'clock, Mr. Fox had a con ference with Viscount Sr cosourn, at his house in Clifford-street. Earl CA urns and Lord H• WKES. sue v dined yesterday with Viscount CAST L to E AGH, at his house in St. James's-square; and on Thursday evening Viscount SIDMONTH had a conference with Lord C sev viLl.t and the other leading Members of the Opposition, at Earl S [NMI'S house in St. James's- place. This confideptial intercourse of all parties both in and est, would almost leas us to think, that the new Ministry will be formed even upon a broader bottom than was first intended, and that Viscount Si nsroer tl is to be President of the Cauncil, or Lord Privy Seal. The aMivity of Viscount Cosi. Eft- NEAGH and Lord I IAWVASBURY may, however, be' accounted for by reference to the death of Marvis CORNWALLIS. By that much lamented event, as we stated in a former Paper, a blue ribbon, the order of the Carter, the lucrative military sin:cure of Constable of the Tower, and the Colonelcy of the 33d Regiment of Foat, are become vacant.— These, surely, arc good things, which fell fairly within the Ministry, of which these Noblemen no at present two component parts, and will probably be torestalled, as was the case of I.ord IV4rden of the Cinque Ports, before the new Ministry can come into activity. Some of the Papers of yesterday announced, that the new Ministry will be Cozened this night, but they are evidentlyroo sanguine in the.r expecta tions. Lord WINN A•E stated yesterday in the House of Lords, that he should have His Moats"- v's commands to lay before them some additional pa pens respecting the Continental War on Monday ; and, on his motion, the debate upon that subjeft was fixed for 'Tuesday. Some days will therefore probably elapse, before we have a new Ministry. If, as we stated yesterday, it can be compieted, before Friday next, the presumed extent of his MA.. JEATI% Kay in town, the country will have no reason to complain of delay. We have received fiamburgh Papers to the 19th instant. They contain several entertaining articles ; and one certainly of ia - iportance. It is stated, upon the alleged authority of private letters from Vienna, that tiO,ooo French troops, under the corn. mend of General MARMONT, are to join the Aus trians, and to take possession of Bosnia and Servia, for the Emperor of Geaseasy. Coupling this with the former assurance, that Austria was to be indemnifiel in the East for the spoliations decreed by the. Treaty of Presburg, we are confident that art attempt will soon be made to sever these two Provinces of Bosnia and Servia from the Toikish Empire.
