the bargain, either in a.Court of Law or Equity. In this instance, the late Duke and theDntehess-Dowa gor accepted of a ducal?. of 20001. per ann. pension to themselves. This circumstance alone would, he believed, according to the eonstrudion of law, in)- . peach the fairness of this traccathon. The LORD CIUNCELLOR was inclined to con sider, that, by the rules of equity in common cases, this Pension of 20001. per ann. ought to be applied to the property so 'entailed, and ought , not to.have been taken for the separate use of those who were but tenant for, life. He,was one of those to whom the claim had been originally referred • and he had coincided in the general opinion of the Grown Lawyers, that there was no reason for considering the Compensation inadequate. As to the • sove reignty that is now insisted upon, he thought-there had been no pretence for claiming it ; and, as to the . custom tinkles of the Island, it was clear they were granted for the purpose of paying the public ex pellees of the Island. Upon the whole he consider ed,. that it would be a most alarming precedent now to open again a transa&ion ,that had been closed so long as 40 years ago. The Earl of *SuErot,x, opposed the Bill, as did also the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM ; and it was sup ported by the Earl of WlisTmoa LAND ; after which the Duke Of Nosrotx moved, that the fill be re committed ; on which the 1.10u,e divided, coritcnts y Not Contents - 2 5 Niajority The Marquis.offluctuNottA! , t moved an Amend ment, that the Compensation to be granted to the Duke of Athol should not exceed 20001. a year ; which was negatived without. a Division.

Comnrime.—Cht the Motiori.that it be etigrossed, The ./17'TORNEY-GENERA Id, however uriwil. ling tothrow the.slightest impediment in the pro gress of the Bill, wished it to be consider,:(l, whe ther or not the wording of part of it might not imply that which he was sure.was not the intention of tiw Framer, namely, that by a Prorogation of. Rirlia _ment an Impeachment could be put an end to ? the introduaion Of such a Bill in the case of Mr. Hastings, it was decided, that neither a Prorogation, • nor even a Dissolution, could have that effea. Mr. IVHITBRE.eth said, that this Bill was a transcript of the one alluded to by the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, which was brought in by Mr. Burke, who was one of the strongest supporters of the opinion, that neither a Prorogation not a Dis solution of Parliament could put an end to an. Im peachment. It related not to the continuance of the Impeachment, for that was already before the Lords, but to the continuation of the Proceedings on it in this House. linlesS such a Bill were passed, the Committee of Impeachment could not report any additional circumstances to the House in the early part of next Session without going into a complete re-examination of all, the evidence. The SPEAKF i R stated,- that the Bill contained two distina provisions. The first was, that the ProCeed ing; in the articles, of .charge against Lord Melville, now pending in the House. of Commons, should hot be discontinued by any prorogation of Parlia, ment that might take place: The other, an which the House of COIIIIIIOIIS- would judge,whether it implied that which was apprehended, was, that the said articles of charge might be proceeded on in the same manner next. Session, as if no, prorogatiw had taken piace. It was for the House to decide, titer pr not by .this latter prevision .;..4ny doubt:was cast on the privilege whidi the Horse posse.!:sed, of proceeding in . the Impeachment notwithstanding .

We yesterday published a Letter which we received from a Correipondent in iloltnd,'dated the 3d instant, which does not. =lce any mention of' such intelligence. With respect to the report itself, it certainly is not entitled to the slightest credit. We know thztt the Crateux left Lord l'int.sog on the 14th ult. off Antigua, and that she had a very quick passage to England ; it therefore absurd to sup pose that any intteg,!nce of an 44tion hayina been, tougbt ceul(Lreach Holland, on the ,e9th, ±or that the day on ‘vhicb. it is said to 11, aye be'ol retsx,,ve,4 r,4 rorti however, el:peCt to hear litany reports circulated, 11mi : 1 - authentic accounts are receiVed*..om Lordship, whieli May' now be almost hourly ex' Peaecl- We have felt it to be our duty to caution the Public not to indulge in too sanguine expeaa-• tions of Lord Nk4SON being able to overtake the Combined Meet—not that 'we ,by any means think it an improbable event, because, relying upon the judgment of Captain liarrEsWowrn, and the confident , hopes expressed in . Lord NEL •ON'S Letters to his friends, we think there is great reason to hope for the most satisfactory intelligence; but we wish to gnard them from a disappohltment which they mayfeel if they are too :confident upon a subject where so much depends upon accident: If the Combined I'ieet ,should escape Lord NEl:soil,: and arrive. in safety ,in Port, still we have ample groun. , .' for triumph : 'lie plans which the Enemy formed of devastation and conquest have been completely frustrated, our West Indian Pos sessions have been secured from attack, and a great and powerffil Fleet has been forced to fly, with dis grace and ignominy, before an inferior British Squa dron. last night confidently stated, that Intelli gence had been received, that the Spauish 74-gun -Shit) which had hoeu,entieed out u CddiZ. airbour by the dextrous manceuvres of th'e Lindy Frigate, hild peen captured by,one of Adm.

We sincerely hope that this intelligence may prove true; but, at pre sent, no official MI icei k i ve been received upon the spbjeti, and we apprehend that it is merely a repeti tion of the report to which we have before alluded.
