IMP ER Ld PARLIAMENT. HOVSE OF PEERS. WIDN,ESDAY I MAX T. lord CRENPILLE said, that a Noble Friend of his had given notice of a Motion for Friday next, relative to the Proceedings against Mr. Justice Fox. In consequence, however, of a domestic misfortune, his Noble Friend had authorized him co postpone the Motion. He therefore moved to discharge the Order for summoning their Lord. on Friday (which was agreed to), stating, at the same time, that due notice would be given of some other day for the purpose of bringing forward the Motion. The ARL of SUFFOLK observed, that a mea. sure would shortly come before the House, previous to the discussion,of which it would be necessary for their Lordships to be in possession of some in, formation respecting the situation of Curates., He had a number of letters upon the subject, some of the information contained in which he should, on a futuredity, move to have laid before their Lordships. The it/SHOP of OXFORD hoped, that if the Noble Lord moved for such a description of infor. rrt' ation, there would also be laid before the House information on the other side of the question, as the Noble Lord had, in a former speech, made an Cr. 'oncosts statement with respeit to an individual in. stance. Some further conversation ensued between the Earl of Sur rout and the Bishop of OXFORD ; which was, at length, put an end to by the Loki) CHAN. CRLLOR, there being no question before the House. Previous to the House going into a Committee on the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Bill, * The Duke of Nottrout moved for an Account of the number and value of Advowsons in the pas, session of the Colleges and Halls of the two Univer. This Motion was objected to by Lorct GREN. VILLE,the Logo CuisocaLt.ozond Lord frlawites. "DAY, as tending to establish a dangerous prece. dent, in calling for an Account of the Nitrate Pro. petty of Corporations; and was at length withdrawn by the Noble MONer, The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill, in which a conversation of some length took pillar. The Bishop of OXFORD recapitulated several of the arguments he had used on a former evening in favour of the Bill, repeating his wish that it should pass without limitation. Lord Viscount SI W40;1,71'11 repeated his disappro. hation of the unlimitted manner in which, by the Bill, the restraint upon the Colleges was taken off; and suggested the expediency of introducing a Provision in a future stage of the Bill, to compel the Colleges, before they purahased new Livings, to increase the income of small Livings now in their ossession to a certain amount to be agreed upon by their Lordships. The Lotto CHANCELLOR. spoke decidedly in Ctvour of the Bill, but agreed in the expediency of what had been suggested by his Noble Friend. Lord HAWKESBURT agreed in opinion with the Lotto Co Awcsr,Loa. Lord GeRtiVll4,E, highly approved of the prin. eiple of the Bill, but thought the limitation propos" cd inexpedi , !.nt. The Bishop of LONDON spoke in favour of the The Earl of SUFFOLIC made some general obser. vations with respat to increasing the value of small Livings; and Lord 1-laattowur contended for the expediency of the proposed limitation. It wits at length agreed, that the Pill should pass through the Committee in its present form, and that in order to give time tor forming other provisions, the Committee should sit again on Monday. ,eldjtiutned till to.mnrrow Lillis day). 1/01,14 OF COMMONS, vitipttsspAY,, Jor t. rittctini . at sour Wein& the SPIAKIII entered the Howe, and there being arch" 39 Members pre. sent (ne tiltOrt, of Ithe number oe4hsary to make a House), an AdiArno:eta tool; place sir course.

LQNDO'IV, TviukspAy, MAY ;A) 'lBos* We are unable to confirm the Report of yeller shy, that Lortl NI t.soll was off Cadiz, blockading the French Toulon Fleet in that Port. - On the can trary,the Req/e Sloop Of Wir, arrived at rlymoutb, has brought a teport that the French Fleet, together with the Spanish Ships which were in the Harbour of ;failed from that tort on the 13th ult, and some gears are even entertained that 1.. , )rd NE t:sorr has bent Iris course towards Egypt, supposing the Enemy to have cone thither. We do not, however, understand that any ogicial account has been reecivoO by means of which any degree' of certainty- can be :4ttar.The4 to either of these contradiaory rumours. It is also Otatcdt that when the IrdibighaPi Packet lett Lisbon, on the 4 , 11 ult. i; jonn Oitnit was off Cape St. Vincent'4i waitinEluZ reinforce.

It will be re. collated that the French evacuated Dominica on the zd of Match : if they had gone immediately to Antigua, it is almost impossible but some account of it must have reached this Country before this time. We have very little doubt but that we were comet in our first statement, that the French upon leaving Dominica tetired either to Guadalcupe or Martinico. It does not appear that DESSALINES has made his grand attack upon the City of St. Domingo, but he 'had colleded a most formidable force for that pur. pose. A New. York Paper, of the loth March, mentions an exploit of the Spaniards, which is very far from refietling any credit upon their honour or their courage, and which will expose them to severe retaliation from DESSALINES• It is stated, that the Black Chief sent one of his Naval Cap. tains, sits Commandant of an Armed Schooner s to summon Porto Plata to surrender. The Spaniards received them with apparent satisfaltion, and in. vited the Captain, his Officers and Crew, consist. ing of 25 Men, on shore, to partake of an enter. tainment. The invitation was accepted ; but ,no sooner had the unfortunate Blacks landed, than they were surrounded and every one put to death except the Captain, who was sent to General FE/KANO.

The Exler;rtenr and Ocr.vw, from Botany say, arrived at China on the 17th of December ; the Frederick, INGLIHAROE I from Gottenburgh, on the zzd of December, Ali:Lots 11141 arrived this morning, brought to Falmouth by the Iralsinsbatts Packet, in 14. days, by which we have the following Letter Ltssow, Apart, 14.—A Cutter has just brought' , intelligence of the arrival of the Toulon Fleet off Cadi* ; it consists of about z z Sail of the Line, besides Frigates: the Spaniards have an equal Force (badly manned) ready for sea. Sir JOHN ORDI'II Squadron, of 5 Sail of the Line, &c. was at anchor off Cadiz when the Enemy made their appearance, but notwithstandin; their superior strength, and the advantage of the weather.gage, they chewed no inclination to come to action. The Cutter left Si, JOHN ORDR off Cape St. Vincent waiting for re. inforcentents ; a Frigate has been dispatched after Lord NeLsort, who, it is ferret), is #one to the Eastward. There not being Forty Members in the House of COMMON yesterday at Four o'Ciuck, the House ad. juurned till this ddy. It is supposed that Mr. SHIP,IDIOI will this LIJy bring forward his Motion for giving the Thanks of the House to the commis. sioners of Naval Inquiry, which stood for yester. day.

The French Ambassador, who has been so long expeCted at Lisbon, is at length arrived there. A Ship of 7+ gone, to be called t h e Warslite, is ordered to be built at Chatham, IND lA.HOUSl.—Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held, when Mr. JO H N FOOTE, of }Ps Majesty's Dockyard at Plymotsth, was appointed Assistant. Shipwright at rrinee of Wales's Island, Captain JAMES MA,sson, of the Ship Ann, took leave of the Court, previous to departing for Madras and Bengal, Among other rumours at Paris, it is said that BONAPARTE intends to create Madame LAPA. GER IR, who resides at Martinico, and is the Mo. titer of his Wife, an Empress of the West.lndies, to be succeeded by her Grandson, EUGENIUS AttAUIIARNOTS, and that this accounts fur the nu. memos troops sant by him to that part of the world, where many think both the Brest Fleet anti Spanish Armaments are destined. The ninth performance of the Concert of Anoint Music took place is., light. Th e i r Majesties and four of the Pa INC t'S ES were present, Pa Itic Res Avous'r.s. is at Windsor, somewhat indisposed. The Earl of URN R Dag was Direttor for the night,. The room was crowded, and the performance highly admi red. Lord MILTON, in recommending Mr. GRA.TTAN to the Elettors of Malton, winded up a high pane. gyric on the latter, by stating that he was the in. timate, private, and public friend of Mr. BURK I. Lord Mit,Tots, however, may be fairly asked, if he thinks it possible that if Mr. Boaxt 'had lived to witness the conduit of Mr. GRATTAN he would not hove renounced all connexion with him with in • dignation and disgust I Mr. BURKS, it is wail known, was induced by a difference' of opinion, With respect to the French Revolution, to separate for . evier 0619 Mr. Fox, and his dearest political connexions. Is it possible then that after what has happened, he would' have suffered hithself to be **canted as the Fella of .IVlr. GRATTAN ! I I The Roman Catholics all over the Empire look up to Mr. Fox as the mini from whiim they expert a release from every restrktiOn that places them below the Members of the PrOtestantFaiih, Hence they not only expen to enjoy the dative franchise, but in time to possess every office of emolument and trust under Government. The spirit of TAMES Tli SECOND may therefore be supposed to hot►er over Great Britain, in the hope that its Kings hereafter may be released tram the Coronation Oath, as an odious restraint upon the Royal "On'. science. It is very extraordinary that the friends of a cero tabs Naval Officer, who have long been labouring to make the Public believe that his restoration to Power wait essential to the National Welfare, have said nothing in favour of his pretensions, since it appeared, that refreshing queries were necessary to stimulate sluggrib reminiscence, and since General GASCOYNR made so pointed a reference to a Court Martial, brought against a respectable Military Officer, for obeying-orders issued by the very per. can who instituted the charge, - Mr. Fox bbservgd, that there was a great dif. ference between a Treasury List fora Ballot, and One presented by an individual of Opposition. But it is proper' to ask, whether an individual of Oppo. sition is contented with simply' presenting a List to his friends, and whether he and his do not exert all their influence to render that List acceptable Mr. Foi; cannot but answer these questions in the affirmative, as we conceive must be the case, what becomes of his refined distinaion. rvlr.
