After presets (by the Riitsp of Ossnry, the junior Prelate) were real, them Lordships proceed ed to forward the Bids upon the table ; among which were, the English and Irish Militia Pay and Clothing Bills, the siihtia Subaltern Bill, and the Foreign Troops Bill, which several!) . pasied thsough Cetmmittees of the whole limve, and were reported without amendment. The b'cois Bankrn 7ts' Leis , Bill t-as read a second time, and the Crannti.:ee on it negs• iv'd. On the order for the third reading of the Woollen !Manufacturers' B 11 being read,Counsel (Mr. Harri son) on behslf of celtain Master Clothiers in the county of York, against the team of the Bill, was called in. The Learned Counsel shortly addressed their Lordships upon the sulijett. The sole ohjea of his Clients, he said, was to alter the term of the suspension, and with reference to the improbakility of the intended Bill of Gerttral Regulation being carried through this Session ; the term to which the operation WAS wished to be limited was six months. Atter the Counsel had withdrawn. Lord AUCKLAND made a few observations upon what had been advanced on the part of the Petitioners ; nothing of which tended to alter his opinion, that the Bill ought to pass in its present shape ; the Committee of the other House was sedu lously engaged on the subjeCt, arid intended. toms fide, to regulate the business in the brit practicable mode, and as speedily as possible. The Bill, how ever, ought to pass, and he did not. see how tie in conveniences apprehended. could arise ; he, there fore, moved the order for the third reading of the Bill. This was agreed to by their Loriships, and the Bill was road a third time, and passed. A tow private bills were brought uo from the Commons, by Mr. Blackburne and Mr. H. Lascelles, and read a first time. Mr. Young, from the Customs, presented certain annual accounts respell ing the navigation and commerce of Great BrUain. Mr. Warburton presented certain papers from the Court of Chancery, in Ireland, relative to the Ap peal Cause, Stafford v. Drewe. Both these do. cements were ordered to lie on the table.—Ad jourtaed till to-morrow. of the HOUSE OF COMMON'S. Mr. Barlow brought in a Bill for proteaing Sal mon, Oysters, and other Fish, in Milford Haven, which was read a first, arid ordered to be read a second time. Mr. Raker presented a Petition from the Insnl• vent Debtors. in the Gaol of New•gate. praying fur relief. Ordesed to lie on the table. The Rochdale Canal Bill WAS read a third time and passed. Mr. J. Martin presented a Petition from the , Mahaters of Tewksbury, praying for a Rep ea l of the A& of last year. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Hass, from the Bank of England, presented an account of the 51. per Cent. Annuities, granted ley neural ads, for raising a Loan of 16,000,0001. (the Loyalty Loan,) which was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Young. from the Customs, presented an ac count of the number of the Shirs, and their Ton nage, employed in Great Britain, for the last year. Ordered to be printed. Sir M. W. Ridley presented a Petition from the Boot and Shn:iin.:lcers, of Newc Istle-upon-Tyne„ against a 801 l now pending in Parliament, for dis solving certain societies of workmen. Ordered to lie on the table. The 10,000,001 and I,son,n(KA. Exchequer Bills Bills wete read a second time, and committed for to-miaow. The Irish Militia Service Bill was read a third time and passed. Die Meuse went through a Committee, on the Es. cite Expiring Laws Bill, respelling the landing of Rum and Sugar, from the Plantations, and the Re port was ordered to be Reported to-morriiw. The Felons' Transportation Bull went through the same stages. The Petition respelling the aJmeasurement of Coals, was ordered to be taken into consideration to-MIAs - ow, Mr. W. Wynne, pursuant to an order of the House, presented a cope of the Ci'cular Letters of the late Secretary of State (Hawk •sbury,) to the Lords Lieuteaants of counties, relative to the De tenet Bill, and the answers aid returns made there to. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. W. Wynne, then moved the second reading of the Dublin Paving Bill. Lord DE BLAQUIERE hoped the House would excuse him, if he shortly animadverted on the me rits of the Bill. The Bill, he said, had only been printed this morning, and from the slight considera tion he could give it, he obeervad that it was not what was vulgatly called an Irish Bill, btu an ac tual Repeal of the Bill of last year, and in his mind repugnant to the vital principles of the constitu tion The loniser Bill gave the Lords Lieutentants a power to suspend the corporation, which he ex ercised, brit this Kill went to stay all proceedings at law, by the creditors of that corporation. He did not think there were any precedents for such a wee sure ; tor if a man trusted that corporation to the amount of 10 or 120u01., he held it to be extremely unjust, that he should be debarred from prosecuting his claim• or having any remedy at law. Me. W. WYNNE replied, that there was no in tention of prejudging the question between the Lord Lieutenant and the Paving Corporation ; but observed, that the five Commissioners who now superseded them, and who received no emolu ment for their trouble, had reported, as appeared by the letter of Lord Harthsecke, that the accounts were in such confusion, and the funds so insufficient, that they had nut yet time to investigate into, nor money to di charge the claims of the creditors. 'lnas was the can of this Ilia. which was only tem porary. and as the writ of a Right Hon. Friend of his (Sir John Newport) was already come to England. and as his presence may be et p-cted in the Committee en Monday, he wished the fits aasitia to be deferred till that time. LONDON, FRIDAY. M•RCH We have received letters from the coast, which enable us to corret several errors is the account given in this and the other Morning Papers, of the Flag of Truce which arrived from France, on Wednesday. The vessel which carried the Flag of Truce, a mean fishing boat, was seen steering . direct for Dover, a little after six o'clock on Wednes day morning. About seven, she was boarded off the South Foreland by the Venue frigate, who took out of her a French of leer, and a packet, of which he was the bearer. The officer shortly after re turned on board his vessel, and the Venal proceeded to the Downs with tie packet. It was addressed to Lord KITH, and received by his Lordship, at Ramsgate, early is the afternoon. The packet con tained two letters, one direeted to the Right lion. CH•atts J•stts Fox, and the other for Baron •cost, the Prussian Envoy Extraordinary, and Mi nister Plenipmentiary at our Court. They were both enclosed in a letter to Lord Kr i 11 from the Com mandant of Boulogne, requesting his Lordship to forward the enclosure immediately ; and adding, that the answer might be sent in a Bag of truce. ifs Lordship accordingly forwarded the levels to town by express, and they were received in the evening by Baron JACO/11 and Mr. Fox. From this statement it appears, that the report mentioned in some of the Papers of yesterday, a..-.oounc;ng that the dispatch was received in town Wodnesda, fore. noon, communicated to His MAJIST Y. and taken into consideration by a Cabinet Council, at Mr. Fox's office, when the basis z,f a proposition for peace, which it contained, was held inadmissible, Vi the ss psi f some fruitful lanes•, and had no louse- dation in fact. Ihe contents of the letters can, 14 course, be only matter of cos jecture. Some think, that they relate merely to an exchange of prisoners ; but we believe they sue of a pacific tendency. The business of prist ners has been for some time in dis cussion between the two commies, and managed in a differ nt way ; wberest the dispatch to Lord KLITO has every appearancr of a new affair, and opens a new channel, and a communication %%ids persons, of all others, the most likely to addres s upon a pacific overture. Besides, we cannot c3n ceive that the French Government would introdu:e the Prussian Envoy into the business of prisoners; nor, on the other Land, that it could fed warranted in making a communication in such a way, and through Lord KEITH, to that personage, upon a :matter in which this country had no interest. The probable conclusion therefore that the hitter Upton .1 actosi contains a request to interpo se his good offices with our Government fur some particular °Nal, and we know of none so probable as that of peace. 'I he flag of truce, when left ►y the Ver.ne, went into Dover Road, and two or three boats were manned, and went off to her. Several Gern.emen, also, from Dover, visited her in the course of the day. The French Officer appealed to be a person of distinction, and wore a star upon his breast. From the information collated on beard the flag of truce, it appears that the packet of which he was the hearer, was received by the Commandant at Br logne, on Tuesday night, w•it:r orders to send it •ff immediately; and to deliver it to the first Cluiser that :.ad a King's Offi cer on board. It was brou3ht to Boulogne by a Cos. tier, and in pursuance of the orders received, the Offi cer immediately embarked on board t.l-,e Rag of truce. He could not of course know any t!-.lng of the na ture of the dispatch. Upon other sufjeds, be was very reserved, but behaved to his visitors wit's great politeness. He said, a general excha ge cf prisoners was speedily expetted in France ; bnt little else could be learned from him. Mons. BONCVATE, a I•'rench pl't, who seas in the boat, says that Boulogne is becom- a I•rn2's port; no merchant vessels, privateers, or even prizes, are suffered to enter, unless loaded with ordnance or military stores: there has been a very large baton made to hold the flotilla, which contaiaa feet water at high water ; and the port is said to contain ten at low water ; a large harbour is alisa made at Wymill, and at Vimenux, with immense fortifications to defend them, and the flotil:a it again equipping. About one o'clock, the ebb tido larn4 and the boat weighed out of the bay, and stood over for the French coast. At a Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock, held yesterday, it was resolved to divide di per cent ae usual, and that whenever the profits arise to 5 pet cent, they should be divided among the Proprietors. they have agreed to lend Government the three millions, until bia months after the conclusion of a Peace. Mr. W. Wv vs E observed last night, in the Prase of Commons, that the writ of the return c f Sir Joao N swroar, for Waterford, had arrived, and that ai worthy Baronet will take his place this day or Monday. Mr. WINDHAM will not Wing forward tarp plan on Monday. Yesterday, Lord C•TCH ART transuded budnets ith Mr. WINOW Am. Yesterday, at one n'clnck, Mr. For had an au ence of the Prince of W• sus.

NIIIArAky PLAN. General TA RIE FON, though he did not sec a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Windham) in his place, wished to put a short question, which he supposed could he answered by some other Minister. It was to know, whether, according to the notice given, the Military Plan, so long cxpeaed, would be proposed on Monday next Mr. Secretary FOX replied, that he did not understand his Right Hon. Friend to have given any regular notice for that day ; nor coulil lie undet take to say, whether the sut•joa wonld then be brought forward or not. If the Man were pre pared, however, he made no doubt that proper notice would be given of it. After some other business was disposed of— General TA RLETON rose again, and was re peatiug his question, when Mr. Windham entered the House. The General seeing him ie his place, then distinflly asked him, whether the plan would be hi iiught forward on Monday ? He a<ked it, because there were several gentlemen, living at a distance, who would like to know the precise Jay, as they meant to attend the discussion. Mr. Secretary NVINDHAM replied. that he had givt n no regular n 'tier of any such intention, but that its citnong •Le Howe, it was his intention to anticipate the tpestiou, by stating, that it tts ttuld not be brought forward on that day. He did not understand the ground of the vast impatience for it, manifested on the other side of the House, nor should he hurry it one day sooner on that ac count. lit knew of no such impatience in the pub lic, whatever means might have been taken to ex cite it; and he was satisfied, that the delay would be attended with no inconvenience. He had therefitre no other answer to give, than that when he was prepared, he would tic a day for bringing it for ward. Gen. TARLETON rejoined, that there was cer tainly a great impatience and anxiety with respect to the fate of the Parish Bill, and also amongst the nu merous Volunteers of the coentry. Mr. DILLON moved for an Account of the num ber of Parishes in Ireland ; and, also, the number of Churches and Glebe•houses, with their distribu tion. from 1791, to the latest period. Dr. DIJIGLNAN said, the motion was unneces sary, as there was a Paper to that effel already be fore the House. After a slight conversation on the subjell— The SPEAKER put an end both to that and the motion, by stating, that the Paper already before the Hons.. purporteci to be an account up to the 10th of July, laos. The foregoing Paper was then ordered to be reprinted. Accounts were then ordered to be presented of the number of Writ♦ of Rehear Corpus and Nrlpanas, issued from the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, for a given period ; of the quantity of Irish Spirits imported into Great Britain, from Ire land, with the amount of the duti ,r s thereon, in the years 1801, Q. 3,4, and 5 ; of the amout of Sugar and Hum imported from the Island of Tortola, in 1504 ; and the quantity of English produce ex ported to the Island of Dominica, for the last four years Mr. Windham brnught in a Bill for Regulating the Trade and Commerce of the Cape of Go , d Hope, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow, Adjourned.
