I mote than WM'S. Chalmers and Cowie would have received, if t'ie herrings had arrived in proper time. Lord HENRY PETTY thought, that if this was not a claim u tided on sot& justice, yet it was one t. which tie House should pay the greatest attention, as it was necessary that the na tion should aft with h ralOy. With respell to pix.nelent, he did no' th nlc it would be a danger ous one, as was suit, d, for which reason he sup ported the motion ; and also because the loss sus tained had adually been 35 instead of 25,0001. Mr. BANKS was of opinion that it was nothing snore than a claim on the liberality of the public. This principle, he thought, should not be pushed too far, and he therefore moved, as an amendment, " that 12,0001. should be inserted instead of 25,0001." DoccLr LAWRENCE, after going at great length into a statement ct the circumstances of this case, and of those which bore a similitude to it, concluded by saying, that, as he could not separate the equity from the justice of the case, he would support the original motion. Mr. ROSE and Dr. LAWRENCE severally ex plained. Mr. HUSKISSON said, he had the means of knowing to a certainty, that although his deceased friend, who bad been alluded to (Mi. Pitt), had not objeded to the Petition of Messrs. Chalmers and Cowie being received, he was adverse to its being referred to a Commitee(of supply ; and, therefore, the subject was not pressed in the last St:sion. As guardians of the public purse, he thought the Home ought to have a stronger plea than that of generosity. for their disbursements : if this Motiai was acceded to, innumerable other petitions fur remuneration would be the result : the Newfoundland Traders would be equally entitled to say, they were induced by the bounty offered by Parliament to embark in the adventure, and were therefore entitled to compensation fur any failure of the markets. Mr. WILBERFORCE and Mr. HUSKISSON explained. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the Honourable Gentlemen opposite, who opposed the motion, did it with an ill grace, after the manner in which the Duke of Athors claims had been entertained by them last year. He considered the public to be bound in justice to indemnify persons engaged as the Petitioners in the present case had been, and that a loss should not fall upon individuals, incited to an undertaking for the public advantage. Mr. W.N. Sal ITH replied generally to the argu ments which had been urged against the motion. The extent of the loss sustained by Messrs. Chal mers and Cowie, including bad debts in the %%est • Indies, exceeded 50,0001. ; the remuneration he pressed for was not, therefore, excessive. After a few words from Mr. ROSE, Mr. HUS KISSON, and Mr. W. SMITH, in taplanatior, the House divided on the amendment proposed by Mr. Banks— Ayes I I —Noes 59—Majority 49. The original questiun for allowing 25.0001. was then c.alied. CORN INTERCHANGE lIII.T. On our re-admission to the Galt re, we fonr.d the House in a Committee on the Bill for the tree Interchange of Corn and Grain between Great Britain and Ireland. , - M.-. FORCER., after adverting to the great im portance of the Bill, stated, that the grand pre ventive to its efficiency, as it stood at present was, that no ur.iferm and general standard of impart and export prices was established, but the pttces were differently regulated in the two countries. To ob viate this, he proposed two clauses to be added to the Bill, enaeting, that the calculation should be formed upon the whole average prices of grain in the maritime counties of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Sir JOHN; NEWPORT acceded to the pro piety of the clauses, but thought that their addition to the present Bill would occasion the loss of so much time in procuring the necessary returns, as would make it impossible to carry the measure this Station ; he, therefore, hoped the Right H. a iurebk Gentleman would not press them at present, but allow them to be the subjeet of an amended Aet, in the nest Session. Mr. FOS lER did not see the advantage of bringing forward a half measure, to be regulated and completed next year. Without the regulations he had proposed, the Bill would be of no beneficial effect ; and he thought the session would be long enough to admit of their adoption. Mr. WM. SMITH and Sir ROBERT PEEL, - thought the general principle of the Bill of such im portance, that it ought to pass without the delay of • particular regulations not yet digested, bin which c Judd be added when they were. Mr. FALK INER raid, he rose to express the great decree of hrtror he felt at seeing the business of Ireland so shamefully transaaed in that House tOrc'er .' !)Order before almost empty benches. This was the second time he had had occarion lately to notice this . • and, ax representing the first county in Ireland, be considered it necessary, in order to preSeeet disgrace from attaching to him. Earl TEMPLE said, nobody 'would feel the dis grace more than he should, if the English Members ti Parliament could he supposed capable of ne gleiling the business of Ireland. He was sure, how. ever, there was not a representative in that House, who did not feel it to be equally his duty to attead *.o the concerns of both countries, and he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would recant his censure. Nlr. FOSTER said. however he might admire :he warmth of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Falkiner), he could not but feel that his observation was not relevant to the present debate, as tLis was a mea sure as much English as Irish. After a short debate between Mr. Scott. Sir J. Newpnr:, Mr. Pattitor, Mr. Alexander. Lord De S aquiere, Mr. Western, and Mr. Foster, the clauses were agreed to, the report was received, and • di-red to be takes into further consideration on P.iday ; and the Bid. with the amendments, ordered t . be printed. The Report of the eintrairtee on the Thread Lace Bill was deferred till this day. The Irish Post Road Bill went through a Com mittee, and the Report was ordered to be receive tbis day. The other orders were deferred till Thursday. ' nod, at One o'Crock. ti.e House adjourned. • 1 - i _, THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, Jima 17. We noticed the improved state of the funds to wards the close of last week. Yesterday, about two o'clock, they experienced a great change, the 077- 7imm having risen sodienly from 29 to 5 per cent. premium, and the other funds having advanced * in proportion. The Stock Exchange was crowded to excess, and the greatest life and hustle retailed in the city. The funds maintained, and left off, at the close of the mat LI, at these advanced prices; a circumstance which shews that there was some solid foundation for the rise.—Various causes have been assigned for it; among which we consider as the most probable, a report that a Message from His MAJESTY will be speedily delivered to Parlia ment, stating his gracious intention to open a Nego ciation for Peace with France. To a question, last night, in the House of Com mons, relative t) an exchange of Prisoners between this Country aid France, Viscount Howlcic an swered, that though several Naval and Milttary French Officers had returned to France, and some English subjea, not legitimate prisoners of war, had been suffered to return home. no regular cartel was yet settled for the exchange of prisoners. We received yesterday some Dutch letters and pa pers from Amsterdam and Rn:terdam, brought by vessels arrived nn Saturday, in the Dassns. One of the letters, dated the I I.h inst. stares, that Lou is Bo- N•FARTS, the new kr% had died sudden ly, on his way to the Hague. Ti.;. report is enritlei to notice only as it affords a proof of tha hatted of the Dutch, to their new Sovereign. Louts Bus A- , r A as; was at Paris ont the .srh, and the Paris Papers state that he was not to set out from that city, ui.til the beginning of the ensuing week, about the I I th. •, Amsterdam and Rotterdam Papers are not of a later date than those which we received on Sunday. The Vi'enieire frigate, arrived at Portsmouth rrnm the Cape of Good Hope, spoke, on the 2Gth May, a Brazil ship, the master of wh;ch informed her, that JENOI4II BOSAIPAR res squadron had put into St. Salvadore sickly, and was to sail on the 22d of April, supposed for the West Indies. The Ifiggiaron schooner is arrived at Liverpool, from Jams•ca; she parted from the following ships, viz. the Aitrom Sl - '11412[11; H sa• ; Jo NES j and Parthian, MOSES. for London ; Ch,Trd, Et is • ' and the Defiance, M.L ACCALIN . f or B r i sto l , on the 6th inst. in lat. 46. 30. long. ly. The LO:a. don ships intended to pet Intl Cork Admiral Russet:. sailed with his squadron on Si. turday, from Yarmouth, to resume his statics off the Tezel.

The Bonds* tiosetir, of ORober 30, 1803, .ays: " On Saturday last anchored is the harbour the ship Pearl, under charge of Mr. Henderson, prize to His Majesty's ship Lord Donrouo, Lieutenant Sneyd. The Lord Moron, Lieutenant Sneyd, sailed from Madras, on a cruise, in the month of July last, and, attrr a passage of fire weeks, made the Island et ilederigu,s, %here they discovered a Frerch brig, riding in the harbour; the Lord Disc caw was hove to, her boats manned and armed, and sent in to board the brig ; in the mean time, the Commander, Officers, and Crew, after cutting her cables, deserted her, and went on shore in the Island. The Lord Durmast, boats boarded, and trek pos session of her ; they found her principally laden with fish ; but the wind blowing hard in, and a strong current against them, they found it imprac ticable to tow her out ; they set fire to her, and de stroyed her. On the following day, she bore no for the Isle cf France, and the day after, making the Island, she fell in with, and captured the brig f.tarte, of about 90 tons burthen, laden with plank ; they saw, and chased the Hearsetea, French privateer ; she had ju , t left the Island, on a cruise, bat being light winds, she escaped by superiority of sailing. The Lore DarraN then proceeded to the bland of Bourbon, where she fell in with, and chased on shore a FreiOr corvette, carrying eight guns, and four swivels. 'I ire corvette was completely dashed to pieces on the shore. tt From the Island of Bourbon, the Lo►d DISMISS shaped a course fur St. Mary's, on the Island of Madagascar ; they met the m st cordial reception from the Natives, who were exceedin.:ly antious to supply them with every necessary the place aCord ed; here they continued nine days, after which they weighed and ran down the E ist coast of the Island of Madagascar, looking into the d.ferent p-r is ; and at Port ilaraphin they fell in with and captured the ship Pearl, and destroyed a French bri,; ; the crew of the brig had run her on shore, where the Danirae, boats destroyed her. The Commander and Officers of the Pearl bad cut her cables, set fire to the snip. and deserted her, taking refuge on shore ; fortu nately the hots got timely on board to extinguish the fire, with the assistance of the Lascars they found on board, and got her clear cut. Mr. Henderson was put on board the Pearl, at prise -master, having a part of the Feoroe'r crew on board, and in company with that vessel ; parted with the Lord era on the 119th ult. Finding the Felre•re a bad sailer, the Paeri parted company with her no the 14 instant, making the best of their way to Bombay, so that the arrival of the Fri/vire may be daily expetcred. When they parted compary with the Lied Craws, she was steering far the Island of Bourbon.' t _s• ....,, , r , 4 .---•••;.,,- t . _.... . -, ~.... • ir/ V TAUXILILL.
