Mr. CORRY said, that he had given notice of his intention to bring forward the Irish Business to-motro , A , in the COrn snittee of Ways and Means : this business had been unavoid ably postponed from time to time, owing to certain requisite Papers not having arrived from Ireland, and this reason still continued. In particular, he said, that the intended Irish Army E,stablislunent liadnot yet been finally settled ; and it . ;:ad been suggested to him, that to bring forward the other parts of the Irish Business at present, and the arrangements respeeling the Army afterwards, would be to give the House a great deal of unnecessary trouble. He was willing to com ply with the suggestion, and therefore should riot proceed on the notice he had given for to-rnolrow, nor name any other day, lest he should be again torred to put it off. Nlr. RQ. O SSON complained that there was a period of nine months of which he Gould find no mention 'among the Irish Accounts. , Mr. CORRY said the§e Accounts had, last Session, been laid before the House and printed ; to these he must beg leave to refer the Hon.

The Alien Bill was ordered to be committed to-morrow. The Report of the- Committee on the Cotton Apprentice BM was t/0.4 taken into consider.:tion. . _ A fief some conversation between Mr. HENRY I.ASO:I;LES, tad BELGKAVE, Sir Rosek . r Px.i.L, and Mr. WIL3EB FORCE, in which some of the arguments stated in the Com• rnittee were again brought forward, the Amenchheots were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. On the Order of the Day being read.for the se. cond reading of the Irish Law Courts Mr. LEI GI/stated, that it was the great objeet of this Bill to put the Irish Courts of on the same footing, and to expedite .justice. These obje&s had formerly been stated, and he should not now comment on the utility of the Bill, which - was undeniable. _ _ The fIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that to the principle of a Bill, which had for its ob_ jea to facilitate the administration of justice in any part , of His Majesty's dominions,' he could hays no ObjCaloll ; and yet this was a measure which required serious consideration.-44e knew from good authority that many persons not now present, were favourable to this Bill, but there was another authority to which he attached, and to whieh o he believed the House would attach, great importance, wanting upon the present measure, and to Obtain which time would be required.—He alluded to a Noble Friend of his who was ruwin Ireland, in the highest station of the Law : he was aware that any measure which had for its objeti the facility of the administration of Justice, would obtain his attention, and; if it had that , tendencV, his appro_ bation ; he was quite sure, that a measure of that nature would not be more favourably received by any individual than by that Noble Lord ; but he also knew it to be an opinion' entertained by that Noble Lord, that the provisions of this Bill should' re,o,:ive more consideration, by him at least, than he had had hitherto an opportunity of bestowing upon it.--He,was now in a situation where he had more opportunity thariany other person, of con sidering every part of this.subject:—His attention was now directed to it, and he was 'not without hopes that at a 'future Session of Parliament, or ra ther, he.should say, at an early period Of the next session, this Measure might be brought forward with advantage, after the assistance might re ceice from the attention of that Noble Lord, sup posing him to approve of 'the Bill ) to which ! how ' ever, he must not be understood to pledge his Noble Friend, although he had no reason to doubt his entertaining a favourable opinion of it.—Under these circumstances, he could not help expressing a hope it. would be the general desire of the House, that an opportunity might be, given to have the attention of a person of such talents and ability di reaed to the subject ; and after it had received that advantage, which at present it could not have, and which he Co,'uld not help considering as essential to it, notwithstanding it 'had received great atten tion from many Hon, Gentlemen, some who were now opposite to him, for these reasons he wished this subject to he deferred to another Session. He was however desirous not to be considered as un friendly to this Bill; or to he understood as doing any thing to obstruct its final success ; he wished it not to be thought that the measure was likely to be prejudiced by delay, in case the House should accede to that which he should propose, for he did it merely from a hope that the House would have next Session that which they could not have iii this, the advantage of the observations to he expected from the experience, knowledge, ta lents, and attention of the Noble Person to whom he had alluded.—Knowing, as he did, that no ma. terial inconvenience, but on the contrary, that great advantage might result from the delay, he should move, that instead of the word " now," the words " this day three months" should be in. serted. Mr. LEIGH said, be did not wish to press the Bill at present after what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but, if the Bill should at present be put off; he should expeft the support of the Right Hon. Gentleman in a future Parliament, if he had the honour to meet him there. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa id, he was indebted to Gentlemen near him for a sug. gestion that if the amendment, as he proposed it, " for putting off the consideration - of the measure for three months," was agreed to by the House, it might possibly convey an idea that the House had thrown some discredit on the Bill, that being a mode generally adopted to express a sentiment un_ favourable to a measure in its principle, which he by no means intended to convey upon this occasion : he should therefore submit to the House that per haps the better way woulkbe, to let the Order nciw standing upon the Bill, drop ; and then no in ference whatever could he drawn of 'the disposition of the House being-unfavourable to the Bill. The Athendment . %ia - s therefore not made, and the original Motion - for reading the Bill now, was, with the leave of the' House, withdrawn. The Insolvent Debtors' Bill went through a Committee, the Report to be received to-morrow. The House then went into a Committee on the Controverted EleCtion COmmitiee Bill. Mr. BANkE3 renewed his opposition to the Clause of the original Bill, which appoints No minees. Mr. M. A. TAILOR contended, that the pre sent Arne ndthent'which was suggested to the original Bill, was 'nowise conn& - I.t'd with his present Bill, but ought to be made the ground of a separate Motion_ Qn the question being put, there was not a suf ficient number of Members on' the Committee to divide. On being re-admitted to the Gallery we found The ATTORNEY-GENER AL on his legs, oppo sing the Kent Insurance : Bill. He said, that there was no reason .why any 'particular County should be allowed a Chartered lnsurince Company, when all had an equal claim. Sir W. YOUNG wished that the system might be extended to the other Counties also, as surely no species of Corporations so' much required Char ters, as Insurance Corporations, which had security for their objet. S;r JOHN - ANDE RSON thought the present Bill would be an injustice to the London Insurance Offices, who had lately paid great sums for losses by fire. On the question being put, if the Bill should be read a second time, there not being 40 Members present, the House adjourned at seven o'ciock to-morrow. From the LONDON G4ZETTE, May 25.

LONDON, MAY 2 6, 18oz; OUR Readers will recollect that, a few days ago, we gave it as our decided opinion, that nothing hostile towards us was intended by the refusal, on the part of France, to admit the produce of this Country into her Ports. This is confirmed by a Report which, has gained general credit, that the French Government has aaually proposed to ours an Arrangement for a Commercial Treaty. If this is true, as we are strongly inclined to believe that it is, it cannot fail to remove, (especially when coupled with other Public Documents), all possible anxiety with respeft to the pacific intentions of France towards this Country. WE this morning received the Paris journals of the 23d instant. They contain nothing of im portance. The Moniteur is filled with the Speeches in the Legislative Body' on the Definitive Treaty, and the Columns of the other Papers are occupied with the Letters from St. Dem;nge, which appeared in the Official Journal of the preceding Day. The French Funds on The 22-1 were at g 6 4. We yesterday gave the Official Dispatches re_ ceived at Paris from St. D. , ,lingo, the length of which precluded us from Offering any comments at the time upon their nature and tendency. General LF.CLETtC, in his two Letters, gives a derail of the 'movements of dill; rent Divisions of his Army, and of their successes against .cer tain posts which had been attacked ; but these prove little with respea to the probability of speedy and complete success in the object of the Expedition, viz. the complete conquest .and esto. ration to order and subordination of that extensive and valuable Colony. On the contra'y, we can perceive, through all the artful colouring of the French General, that ToossAINT is strong enough even to aet offensively , when he finds it his interest to do so. After having been defeated at Contrives in the latter end of February (if he really did sus tain such a defeat), he was soon in a condition to think of throwing the whOle Department of the North into a state of InsurreEtion. General La_ CLERC tells us, " that after that defeat he retired into the woods with only Soo men, but that he had 'soon after been joined by another body of 500, and by CI-IRISTOPHE with 300," which enabled him to form the above offensive projen. But this occa. sional dispersion and rejunlion of his 'force is a part of the System of Warfare which TOUSSAINT means to pursue, and which will enable him to carry on with success indeterminable' hostility against the greatest number of European Troops that France can send against him. It is not his interest to oppose a large body together to the superior taaies of the French. When he means to take a detachment of the Enemy by surprize, he can coiled a force sufficient for the purpose, but his general . sys.tern is different. It -is by attacking - in small parties.upon different points at the same time, by rapid movements, by continual changes of the mode and places of attack, that ToussAttit will succeed ; for by such means must the French force be daily 'diminished either by fatigue, by sick ness, or the sword. But their means, even by the account of .the Fren&lt General, seem in no degree wanting for amore regular warfare, if such it were the interest of the Blacks to carry on.—ln Fort Ceite d - Pierrot, taken on the 24th of March, after a blockade and bombardment of .several days, ' were found- a Magazine of Powder, and Fifteen PieCe6 of Cannon, besides r stores. In other places, perhaps. not so e asily ac cessible to European TreKl)s, it is reasonable t° suppose they have Magazi:ies still more coosidea able. At PLisance, ToryssAterr is stated to have been repulsed; but this by no means dis!leg rten " ed him, for proceeding to Danidott and La gar' malade, he excited an Insurreaion in his favour amongst a part of the inhabitants, and presented ,%h with againhimself before the Cape. It - easy to pe rceive from the French General's accoun t, that the e was in a condition to melee so - bold an attemp t, an d in a grea t m easur e t o succeed in it, the representa, tions of his force made by General L ECLERC must difc ul been ravaged, and that the ; s aved. If To vssAlN.r i,oowl,en Pain‘ilis had h be erroneous indeed, and which we have no ciouhf of their being. He must either himself be deceile a r or is making the weak attempt to delude the Frenc h Government and People. Flow easily, indeed, [no r he suppoae either or both to be deceived, when says , " That his Troops had been eoptin t ! al/Y marching for forty days, but he was determine a they should march on, and not leasie the En cra time to breathe." What more could : his L ' lacj- Enemies wish for, than that the European Troops should be kept constantly in motion ? It rassing them, and wearing them out with fatigue, 1 which in that Country invariably ind uces 'ata disease, that the cause of the Blacks is s erved , 35 it is precisely the'ohjed of the incursive and r e. datory warfare which they themselves mean to ° l ' l l on. Those who know the effea of a West-Indian ex pose 4 Climate upon an European Constitution , to its vicissitudes in the midst of exertion 011 f 3 ' tigue, can alone estimate the probable joss of th : French Army in the six weeks o f t h e ir cootin °3 u i rmarches. We never entertained very sang . hopes of the immediate success of the Fr ench, in the great work they had undertaken of co nquerin of Domit,go. Ey these accounts, our hopes, even their ultimate success, - are very materially —I nihhed. The loss of the Blacks, in the different described by General LE CL E RC, is stated to 001 to 3 000 , while th a t o f the French in Killed ibctl Wounded, is no more than, Soo. This Mai his true, but the French General "says nothing of loss by sickness, a more fatal Enemy than 1.°:(j11 SA INT and all the Blacks he can muster. f 'tQ tf " f The Account given of the cruelties the sAtxT we can readily believe, though l' c ' 43°P s LE number of his vinims, as stated by_Genera‘. .of b P, f re roci Edi •° a c: d ac, m v ay blond, f ew exaggerated. of the iw,iattnlsacbasroslhuatepppiolyvvberayncndapiutoltioate conceptio n. llof;teur of_the. 22d, is gi/e nt -he P the of G At—Cots, the Orator of . the Tribu nate ' Le g i s l ativ e Body, on the Treaty -of 11 . 7411/s. jot,.
