I.IIIPERIi3L PAR.LMMEN T• 11,0 USE OF PEERS, TUESDAY, MAY 7. Coos/sat, was heard in the Irish Appeal Cause, Rowe v. Power. To he. further heard on Thursday next. Lord nOILAND took the oaths awl his seat. '''STANDING ORDERS. Lord MULGRAPE, pursuant to notice, brought forward his Motion for erasing from the book which purported to contain the Standing Orders of the House, the Order, No. 30, which empowered any individual Peer to move the House to go into a Committee when he . wished to speak upon a question more than twice, or . with a view to enlarge the freedom of debate. His Lordship did not well know 'whetherhe should dwell upon the regulation as a Standing Order of the House, or merely as an admonition or remembrance, in which light it seemed to be considered by the Noble Lord on the Woolsack. But in whatever point of view it might l, ) e regarded, he could not but lOok open it as a Standing Order of the House, and 'as such he should touch upon the various reasons which should induce the House to diricontinue it. He had therefore to represent the abuse of such an Order as,pregnant 'with the most pernicious consequences. - It was not only incompatible with' the dignity of the House, and, the itnpartiality and solemnity of their proceed. in g s, but it -also went to infringe the privileges of the Howie, by rendering nugatory the interposition, in the CaSe of such CouDittees, of proxies or pro. tests. It would preclude every opportunity which any but great and powerfid debaters could avail themselves of. ro engross the - . whole discuasio r n of any question, however important, by continually resorting to the expedient 'of moving fora Com. anittee, under the cover of this Standing Order.— Besides, what , la powerful and dangerous engine might , it not prove in the bands of a de4potio ateroment, or of 'a turbulent and faetious Opposition, who, by protraeling any discussion that might in. valve the most important affair, must throw almost insuperable obstacles and embarrassments in the way of public business. He should not insist on site slighter inconvenience which an enforcement of such an Order might frequently produce, but the.ar. gumerosho had already advaoced againit its being longer continued were, in his mind, fully sufficient to justify him in now 1, moving, that the said Order lac vacated. AERNARPON opposed the Motion, on the very opposite L± , rounds upon which it - was sup. Filed by the Hon, Mover. 'He contended that it' .could never intetfire with , Proxies . 01 Protests, and that no measure could be ultimately decided on in .such Committee, but only after the .1 iouse. was re sumed,when Proxies and Protests might take their .nsual course,. Whatever inconvenience might at. ,tend it, the joeonvenience was nothiOg itt cumpari. son with the benefits with which it must be pregnant; . f or i t qpearerl, to him to be . the best Set;Ortty of freedom uf, alabate, which. the other Orders of the fitittse•tendeti 'to repress. Tbe LOW CHANCIILLUR did not well know how to treat the question. He never could look `town the Order - in question as areal Standing Or. of do:A.-louse, hut merly :13 an ;4(111166(4Th or remembrance, which certainly required much expla. nlrion, and the nioure'of that expldnation ‘ he . should 'endeavour to sulonie -t o the Hous e , .Lord GaRN if Lt. C. contended, that the Order ob. j , ....,eted to was never .Gll'o to have beet" ‘;etiended with inconvenience it ,been , enforad but. three : times during .rt aieriutl• . of nearly 200 years;,e , ven when it _ yviti: enVreed, it was oily upon ocoa. wins that, thorughly jO3tifirti the interpusttiuti of the Ottler.' - ,Lorala Roatirrait. and Sesacia coincided with the same line of argument ; while Lords HAttito y ;aid tt s wi t asouiti- supported' the Motion on the ; same grounds as the N,Aile Moyer. The latter Noble Lord principally enforced his argnmcnt tavour of the Molian on the ground that tt war not the House, that took advantage of it, or had a.cont told river that Order, but individuals, which certainly might be used, When so intended, in the most vexa. tit.osananoer., Mier a few words in reply from Lord MuLort 4v 1, the liousedivnied oi this ( . „,•!uetion Conteiati - Non-Connote No l ,..Coments • Majority its favour of the Motion —7 ArliQurri,d tau To-morrow 1 4 1,, ..Contents.

Sir JOHN ANDURSON presented a Petition from the Vintners' Company, praying compensation for toms sustained by the construction of the London Docks,—Ordered to lie on the Table. SIR HOME POPHAM. Sir A..HANtortO presented a Petition from the Navy Board, praying the House lo order Avast laid before it Copies of the Letters of that Board to the Admiralty, dated 4th of 'moyi,, in vindication Of the Commissioners ,of that BOarid from the wit sions cast on.them by the .I.4t,ter of Mr. Tucker, late of that Blard, now before the House. On the Motion, that Copies. of these Letters of the Navy &Lad he laid ,before the ,Housei 'Mr.: Kt trtiAtits atated, that it wouhl_ be proper favhim to postpone his notice of Motion relative to Sir Home Popham, - if the Letters contained any cons. prehensive range of matter. If they contained only a reply, to the charge Made by Mr. Tucker, of the omission of .a large portion of time in the second Statement of the Romney's Accounts, he was pre. pared to go on with the Motion. •Sir 4. iIi,I2IIOND believed the Papers now moved for contained a complete answer to this charge, but they involved other parts also of this extensive subjea : he expected the Papers, which were short, would be printed by the time the House would meet to-morrow. Mr. TIERNEY conceived the whole question to be at present, whether Mr. Tucker's Report on the subsequent corredions were well founded. It was certainly desirable, that the charader of a gallant Officer, tmPatient to take his share in the service of his Country, with a reputation unstained and un. spotted, should be brought to investigation without delay. Ile thought the whole case ought to be re. ferred to a Committee of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, understood it to be the intention of the Hon. Gen. tleman (Mr. K t NNAI RD) to move, that the business be referred .to a Committee. In that case them was no occasion for delay: He thought it right to state decidedly, that there could be no understanding be. fore the debate, as to what. the proceedings would be which the House may think proper to adopt.— gallant Officer who was the first objed of the Motion may think it right to have the opportunity of clearing his conduit before the Committee, or before the House, previous to the appointment of the Conintittec4 The Navy Board may think it necessary to take steps for its own justification.— Others also wete implicated ; but there wore points of far greater importance involved, points es. sentially conneaed with British justice, and the freedom and rights of the Subje6ts. The cunsi. &ration of how far abuses existed in departments of the highest importance to the safety of the Coon. try formed a material part of the subject ; and it a Committee was to be appointed, it was. to be under.. stood that all these obOs may form a part of its charge. Atter some further, observations from Mr. TI R II EY, Mr. Kt NNA Iszas...ltis_irst4o , un to move, That the Papers be reterred to a Committee ; that'he was far Ircirn - abandrining the Charge against the Hon„':Offieerithough the Navy Bbard was now so ptuch implicated,. The Capers were ordered.— They , • were afterwards presented by Mr. W. Dm. K c 41614, and ordered to be printed. Severaf Accounts relai to Ballast furnished by the Tnnity House &Ice 1783, and the Charter of that SJciety issued by Queen Elizabeth arid Charles the 11. were Ordero , l to be laid before the House. • Th;n sI. tratum but one Ship u laidtdown in the - King's Yatdt, rrattO' for with tita,;inerchants, arty to Lord Melville. lea t that he had voted With child April, against that Noble Lori in justice to his Naval Admin exertion-had been made in it from the state into ~vhich.k i t has gence of F.,:irIST. V I NC ENT. pone his Motion till Thursday, Some further conversation followed; in which Mr. Tieutittry called for 'lnquiry, and Mr. GREY challenged it, , and Mr. Jim ERYS declared, from the attention he had paid to the subjeCt, that the House would find he.had pot brought forward the subject without ant. ple grounds. The Motion was then withdrawn. The House went into a Committee on the Curates' Residence Billt;• which was ordered to be reported tomorrow se'nnight. The House then went into a Committee on the Property Tax Regulation Bill. A number of Clauses were introduced by the CIIANC ELLOR of the ExcneQue a, on some of which along and desultory conversation took place, The House having resumed, the Report was or. dered to be received on Friday. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply; which was agreed to. The Committee on the Irish Land Apportioning Bill was deferred till to.triorrow.—Adjourned. MAI LS.

NAVAL ADMINtSTRATiON OF EARL ST. VINCENT. Mr. .7EFF EAY (ot .Poi)le) rose to make the Motion of which he had given notice, fur the pro. dation of. Papers on this sunjeft. lie disclaimed all party motives, hehig entirely unconneeted with party, and having co,mmunicated only with a few persons unconneeted with party, and one or two on b o th sides Wf the House, whom he thought most in. terested in the subjeti. From the attentive exarni. nation he had made, he was sure the House would be of opinion, on the produdtion of the Papers he was about to move fur, that the present depressed anti degraded state of the British Navy.was owing to the neglea of Earl Sr. VI NC ENT, who, if he ha 4 continued.. much longer at the head of that De partment, would have ruined it altogether. The Hon. gentleman concluded with moving for a long List of Accounts, to the number of 3o ur upwards,. relative to the State of the, Navy, and the manner of supplying the Dockyards with British and other Timber, Building, Repairing, and Breaking up Ships, & e . f rom 1783, inclu.ive, down to the pre. tent year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER w i s h e d fo r time to consider the MJtioos, as he was apprehensive they may contain matter, the disclo sure of which would be incontistent,with the Public Service, _ Admiral MARKHAM stated, that nothing could be more highly grat4ing to the Noble Lord now accused, and those who acted with. him, than the fullest examination of their Conduel. He allowed that the present State of the Itritish Navy was not satialattory, and that the cause ought to be enquired into. tie trusted the Warne would not rest with Lord ST. VINCENT. lie thought it matter of se. rim; consittation to unfold the whole means and methods of supplying, the EritiNh Navy since 178 i, Mr. Gi'MY, as a friend. of Earl ST. VII4 NT , challenged the fullest inquiry into his condutt. could not cuneeive that the British Navy was de. grade:l and disgraced. He hoped it never would be Pfm) , tierCiiion tillt it was under at present, he was sure would not be found chargeable to Lord Sr. V U`4CENT, under whose Administration It had gained so IrtilOll glory in ;very quarter of the world, and -under whom none of those events had occurred that gave room for lamentation. /11i'. 7E/7E/6'B said, it was the good fortune of Earl 1 . ..,1" VI NC ENT, that a Navy worthy of the British charader had been litit into !pis h an di, w it h e such a Navy he could not f a i l to h vittorions in ever y quart er. It was his fault ;o have left after him a Navy totally inadcquatc, Durso his whole WE lament that we are still. unable to communi. Cate to the Public any authentic intelligence re speding the final destination of the Combined Squadron of the Enemy : the East Indies, the West Indies, the Brazils, and Ireland, have each been mentioned ; we have no doubt, however, that a very short time will remove all uncertainty upon the subjeCt. With respeCt to the report which has been circulated of Lord NaLsoN having gone to Egypt, on the supposition that that was the des. tination of the French Fleet, we expressed our disbelief of it when it was first mentioned, and we are now enabled to contradiCt it positively, for we are enabtci to state, on the best authority, that ;Joni . NELSON'VIaS seen from Carthagena, on the 13th ult. standing for the Streights with a foul wind ; and it will be recolleEted that it was on the 9th • that the French Fleet passed the Gut. On the i zth the Spanish Squadron was seen by the Beagle about eleven leaguei to the westward of Cadiz, beating to the westward. I t is evident from the course Lord NELSON was steering, that he had received intelligence of the Toulan Fleet having passed the Streights, and if the wind should have come round, so as to pet. miL his Lirdship to pass the Gut, there is great reason to hope that he Might come up with the Cadiz Squadron, and in that case there can be no doubt that he would give a good account of them. In the mean time Government are adopting every possible means to augment the Naval Force of the Country. We stared some day s ago, that it was intended to lay an Embargo upon all the Ports in the United Kingdom—that measure has already taken place to a very considerable ex. tent, and a great number of Seamen have been procured. IL was natural to suppose that when the Enemy had ventured their Fteets to sea, 4s. they would make some demonstrations at Bou logne, in order to draw our attention to that point ; accordingly we find that the Troops in the Camp at Boulogne have been augment.; ed, and reports of an immediate attempt to in. vade this Country have been circulated with great industry. Whether it is really intended at last to carry this long.threatened attack into effect, or whether it is merely a feint to conceal their tie. signs in other quarters, we cannot pretend to de. chic, If they are really serious, the measures adopted by Government for the defence of this Country have been such as to remove all uneasiness with resped to the result of the attempt. By a Letter from on board the jurfitiir Neutral Vessel, arrived at Plymouth, four days from Ruch_ fort, we are informed, that a these Decker and a two Decker sailed from that Port on the Ist inst. full of Troops. An.. Embargo had been laid upon all Vessels for eir,ht days, which terminatekon the day following (viz.), the second A Letter from Ilarhadoes, dated 231 March, say, " It was judged prurient to send the Ships (Mout So sail) for Jamaica, five days since; but great fears are entertained for their safety, as ac. , CO:111t3 were iatt night received that They IN:10 be. calmed near Martiniget. If the French shOuhl fall in with them, the loss will be immense. N 4 hat is very unusual at this time of th e year, we have had a calm for four days, and not the least prospeft of . a returning breeze." dam0m.1 01 .....
