HOUSE OF LUROS, Dix. 17. The Lord Chancellor entered the House at three o'clock ; and the following Peers took the Oaths and their Seats—Marquis of Headiort ; Bishops of Chichester and Bristol; Earls .Carnaivon Egre mont, Jersey, Aberdeen, and Thanet ; Viscounts Gage and Wicklow ; Lords Auckland and Reap. Mr. Marriott, from the Crown and Hanaper Office of Ireland, presented, at the bar, the writ of return of the Earl of Charlemont, as a Represent*. tire Peer of that part of the United liiigdam, in the room of the Earl of Landatf. After which, it being four o'clock, the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker and about twenty Members met in the House, at the appointed hour of twelve, for the purpose of swearing-in the new Members ; but, owing to the tardiness of their coming forward, a House could not be formed until half past two. The swearing-in commenced it that hour, and con tinued until four o'clock ; when the House adjourn ed to twelve o'eloet to-morrow. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, ` l -IURSDAY, DtCIMVtR 18. The Harwich packets have resumed their former station. The last Mails were made up for Husum; to which port they wilt continue to be forwarded as lens as they can be conveyed with safety from that place to their resptaave destinations. It is confidently reported, that Earl Sscacatt will be appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, and be Succeeded in the Home Department by Viscount Howicat. A flew CH ANGEL LOR of die EXCHEQUER, in the room of Lord H. Prririr, is also spoken of. Report has assigned that place to Mr. TIERNEY. The force under orders for Ireland is stronger than we stated it yesterday. The following is a list of the regiments dist compose it ; —The First Dra goons, from Pier's-hill ; the 3d, 7th, and Bth, from Deal; the 9th from Shorneliffe ; the 14th and gist from Hythe ; and the '2,1 Battalion and the 80th from Portsmouth. The 3d, 7th, and Bth. as we stated yesterday, will proceed down the Paddington Canal, and embark at Liverpool, at which place transports are now getting ready for their reception. The 9th, 14th. and 91st, will embark at Ramsgate. Letters from Trinidad, v:4 Barbadoes, mention the arrival in that island of goo Chinese, who are to be employed in the various occupations of the sla►es. This experiment has long been in contem plation, and it is supposed will be found to super sede the necessity of future importations of slaves from the Coast of Africa. They are to receive an annual gratuity, which, should it amount to only ten pounds, is double the amount of the payment mad. for labour in China.—What are we to under by this ? It appears to us to be neither more ipor loss than opening a new market for slaves. To ilgt of giving them twice as much wages as they mould earn in China is a fraud. They cannot buy as much in the West Indies with ten pounds, as they could in China with five. Yesterday, a General Quarterly Meeting of the Proprietors of India Stock, was keld at the East India House, when the proceedings of the former Meeting were read over as usual; and, among• others, the Resolution granting a salary of 3,0001, per annum, to the Recorder of Prince of Wales's Island, which was confirmed without a di vision. A dividend was also declared of 5/ per Cent. from the Sth Jtiy last, to the sth of January nett ; after which, the Meeting adjourned. If we may judge from the late official and demi official articles in the French Papers, Bomar* arc looks upon the complete subjugation of the Conti nent of Europe as now accomplished, and &treaty , anticipates the moment when his military hordes shall re-cross the Rhine, and threaten again, with ten fold fury, the kvasiun of England.— The Reports of Tal♦.aaaAND , recommending the blockade of the British Isles, the determination of Bos aaaaaa , that frantic imposture, His Mes sage to the Senate, acquainting them with this great resolve, ahicn have already appeared in this Paper ;- and the speech of M. Ream AULT, Orator of the Council of State, to the Senate, on proposing the decree for calling out the Conscripts for the ensuing year, which is given in our last page ; all breathe the same ualurrn determined spirit of hatred and destrudition against England, and are, in that re spell, only echoes and reechoes of the same senti ment and principles of the French Government.-- M. AULT, in his speech, says, h is from the bosom of the Continent. which England sought to set in a flame, the a terrible war shall be hereafter made upon her." This um only mean, that the great force of t!,e Continent will be brought to hear •upon tLis hal!: I slam!. How has the moiety boaster fallen ! Toe Corsican Upstart, who boasted that England, single 'added, wa; net able to contend With . - France, alter all his recent s. ► ,es and viflo ries, confesses, that without all the rest of the Con tinent in his train, and at his back, he, France, is not able to contend with England. ludeed his letter to the King of PRUSSIA, previous to the Battle of Auerstadt, betrayed this important se cret. "Your Mans r v," said he, to the King of PRUSSIA, " will be conquered. Prussia contains not one third of the population of France." Mean ing thereby, that he could bring into the field three to one against Hit PRUSSIAN MAJESTY. Now could Bonaesava, granting him a Halcyon voyage across tie Channel with his flo tilla, bring a host of three to one against the armed force of England ? On the contrary, he sou Id not bring a tithe of it, supposing the invading army aflually landed to be 50,000 men. His threat, therefore, to the King of Prussia, means, if it meant any thing, that France is unable single-handed to cope with England. On the seas she dare not shew herself; on English ground she dare not appear ; and years must elapse before the whole energies of the Continent of Europe, the best of them wrecked and destroyed, could, by any possible management pf force and delusion, be brought into a common focus, to as in concert against England. The Aitbeie-Caisfr of the Duke of Beuuswfcx, who arrived in town a day or two ago, with the In signia of the English Order, which His Selene High wore, was yesterday presented to His MAJESTY. We do not find; that this gentleman brings any authentic intelligence, or even any generally be lieved reports respelling the operations of the ar mies in Poland. According fo the present arrangement, His Ma- JCS/ T'S Speech will be delivered by Commission, to-morrow, in the House of Lords. Five of the largest transports in General CRAW. rt.ao's expedition, have been driven into Ilfracomb, and 1,000 of the men have been marched to Barn stable, on the northern coast of Devonshire. The Address in the House of Lords will be moved by the Earl of JEastr, and seconded by Lord SOARERS. In the House of Commons, it will be moved by the Honourable WrOLI ht LA lose, and seconded by JOHN SMITH, Esq. brother to Lord CARRING:CON. Yesterday a Court of Direftors was held at the East•lndia House, when the following Commanders took their final leave of the Court, previous to de par tin% for their respective destinations, viz.—Cap tain Joust PATERSON, Duke of Montrose, for St. Helena and Bengal; Wu. J. EASTFIE4III, Admi ral Gardner ; and R. Cot if err, Castle Eden, for Madras and Bengal.—The Court adjourned at six o'clock, till Tuesday next. The 51st Regiment of Foot is on its march for Leeds and Wakefield, to be stationed during the winter. One division of this regiment arrived in Leeds on Thursday, and marched from thence to Wakefield, on Friday. The Altana., Gomm, from Liverpool, for Wex ford, is lost near Beaumarais. The Ruthy,—, of Liverpool, is lost near Bali mote (America), The T-io, PWRYIS, of South Shields, is arrived in Ramsgate Harbour, with the loss of anchors and cables, after escaping from- a French lugger privateer, under Dungeness. which fired several volleys into her, and much damaged her upper works, sails and r;gging ; the 7rio ran for the Ness Beach, and was nearly on shore, when the privateer sheered off, and stood for some other vessels to lee ward. We yesterday copied a paragraph from a Dub- lin Paper, purporting to be an extra& of a letter from Roscommon, stating that Mr. Fluxes!. Mem ber for the County of Roscommon, has had two en gagements with the Thrasher:, in which several have been wounded, and some prisoners taken ; among them is a person of respellable etanneaions, whose apt prehension, it is thought, will lead to important dis coveries. The Dublin Papers, received yesterday, assert, and we believe truly, that there is no founda tion for this statement. The Sheriff cif the County of Limerick has pub lished the following Notice :--" In consequence of a communication I have had with Gen. Facry o, request a Meeting of the Magistrates of the County of Limerick, at the Exchange of Limerick, at one o'clock ort.Motiday next, the 15:h inst. to consider of the most effeftnal nr.-ant to preserve the Peace of the County." It has been recently stated, with great confidence, in the City, that it is in the contemplation of His MOIIIIIICY'S Ministers to appropriate a part of the Sinking Fund towards the current Supplies of the year. We are enabled to state, upon authority, that there is no foundation whatever for this state ment. His MAJILiTY'II Ministers never entertained dse intention of diverting any portion of the Sink ing Food from the service to which it is appropri ated. We feel reat pleasure in being able to re_ prat. that the Revenue hat been, during the year, so prorlOtive, especially the Income Tax, that the Loan which will be required for the service of the ensui n g year, will certainly not exceed fifteen, and probably will not be above twelve, millions.

Mathme Grasiai never appeared to more advantage than at the fare. I well entertainment given to her by Lady Hamilton: there were present many of Madame Grassini's kind fi lends, to whom she was anxious to show the high sense she had of all their favours ; after sing. ing some very beautiful airs, her health was drank by the company with enthusiasm ; when rising from her chair, and clai ping her hands, she sang a most beautiful guttnspore description of her feelings, which, for pathos and delicacy of sentiment, might vie with the most admired Italian Poets. 7 -.
