Mr. LEIGH' said; that he in conitnnti with other Members for Ireland, was of opinion that before a =an - re of , such importance as the. present was adopted, full rime should bt: given to the considera. tion of the suhjek% It was in that view 'that be nude. a ornpoßition of that kind , to his Right Bon. Friend, to wkom, he begged leaVe to ex prett his thanks for acceding to the proposition. He.by no means meant to say, that a permanent provision ought not to be made for the permanent charges of Ireland, hue he merely meant, as one of the. Representative; for Ireland, to obtain full time for the consideration of so important a subjea.

Fun:A the Proceedings in.the House of Commons last night, it will be seen that the lvf...zzarrA are to he forthwith embodied ;, . and to-morrow a Vote wi:l heproposed for an addition of Ten Thousand Se'amen and Marines to our Naal'Establishment„ SVE yesterday stated that: PAM WAR R ANTS had been issued on Tuesday evening. That night, ac critiling to some accounts, two or three thousand, but• we believe : more truly; about five hundred, able , Seamen were , pressed upon the River, and the ifv/ind 'Sloop of War yesterday morning came up to the Tower to receive them. By our, Portsmouth Letter, we find that a very hot press tuck place there on Tuesday night, by which, about 5°6 Seamen were procured. The Press occasioned the greitest suprize at that Port, as such a measure was wholly unexpeeted. .This day Proclamations Were to be issued, re. calling Seamen from Foreign Service, and offering a) Bounty for such as enter voluntarily into His M,ljestirs'Service. Ten Sail of the Line are ordered to be fitted fur Sea with all expedition. WE most cordially congratulate the 'Country on • the almost unexampled credit which either Branch of the Legislature has done itself in the unanimous adoption of the Addresses, which have been Moved to Hts MAJESTY on the present extraordinary and critical situation of Affairs.----In the House of Commons the attendance was the most numerous that has been known for many years; and all dis. tin4lion of Patties seemed to he lost in the general and manly disposition to suppiiit Ms MAJESTY'S GOVernmept, in the prompt and iii Utdiate 'adOp. lion of such Measures as the circumstances of the Country might appear. to demand. . 'ln' the language of Ministers, We perceive firmness without exaspe. ration ; and in that Of their Opponents a oreditabli abstitonce from its wonted. asperity. 'With one, voice the determination of the Legislature 'has been em. vhat„ically declared, of cordially • co.operating with M 4 i Rimy, should circumstances make it, nices. sary,: in .maintaining the 1 . -lonour .of his Crown, and in npholdinz the Ititerescs and Security of the Country. . Whatever may be the subjetfts of. discussion be. tween the two Governmmts, it is not possible for the most rancorous Enemy of the present Admini stration to suspet that any means have been ne. gleeted, or are likely to be, which are calculated to 'Cure the continuance of Peace, that were with the National Character, ;Ind `with a view to the present and future welfare of Great Britain. We' still hope that their efforts will prove success ful ; and are inclined 'to' derive no km:tile:ate degree of expeCiation of a favourable result from the dis. passionate energy which at present marks their con. duel. So far from participating in any alarm which these precautionary measures , &cern to have extited, our anxiety has been considerably diintnished by , then) I and w e trust that a retelling Public will readily assent to ° l lr opinion, attaching go peculiarly To !tic present crisis, that Modcratibn 'in Councils can hive no Ally so useful and siv heen'tning,aB well. timed vivour at a moment Viet\ dpubtful Negoti. „ tions are depen:iing.• - - • fi td ii posture preparation that lia!t been for ; and to obey with'4lac‘ity::,trelt a call no I::,,b milo ca n- hesitate.

Highness the Patmot of WALES made a communication to the House of Commons, through the medium of his CHANC t Lt.o ft, which will. no doubt render nugatory the Motion intended to have been brought forward to.morrow night. • His Royal Highness, with that feeling which might . be expefted from his good sense, and just consideration for the political circum. cumstances of the County, wishes that all further discussion of his own affairs should be laid aside. His Royal Highness repeats his expressions of sa. tisfaftion at the arrangements which have been already made ; and here we have no doubt the agitation of a business will terminate, which we cannot suppose can have been very agreeable to the personal feelings of "His Royal 'Highness, after the assurances which .he had given of his entire saris. faflion with the liberal propositions of Ministers, and the consequent proceedings of Parliament, which so unanimously sanflioned the grant in his behalf. His Royal Highness's conduft upon this occasion we have no doubt will have its dug weight in the opinion of the Public, as diftatecl by those patriotic feelings which every Briton will 'applaud. Last night Thant MAJUSTI ES and the PRIN CESSES honoured the Concert of Antient Music with their presence, which was under the ditation of Earl DARNLEY. • Lords Net-sox and KEITH have both been at the Admiralty within these two days. If the French provoke us to War, we hope to see both these No. blemen speedily a-float. We know not in whose hands the honour and safety• of the Country could be better entrusted.' His Royal Highness the DUKR of YORK has in. timated to the proper Officers, His Majesty's Com. mand, that the standard for the Recruits that may be hereafter enlisted for the Infantry of the Line, shall be reduced to five feet five inches ; that the levy-money for men of that height shall be raised to six guineas, of which the men are to receive five guineas in money and necessaries ; and that the levy-money tin boys for general service shall be raised to lout guipeas, of which they are to have three guineas in money and necessaries. It is singular, that the Lord Mayor was enter. raining the French Ambassador at dinner, when that Magistrate was interrupted in order to sign the Press Warrants for the City. A meeting of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Freeholders of the _County of Middlesex, was yes terday held at the Mermaid, at Hackney, for the purpose of preparing an Address to His Mat Hsi IP, on the fortunate detedion of the recent conspiracy against his Royal Person. The Sheriffs took the Chair at half past twelye. Soon after Lord Ma'ats. rtELD, in a very neat speech, stated the ()Ned far which the meeting had been called, and concluded with submitting for. their adoption a sketch of an I Address which had previously been drawn.up ;and signed by his Lordshie ! : the Dukes o f PORTL A N D) NoRTE/U4B ER,LAND,. 'JEVONS,' I RE, the Marquis of Turclas t LD, and about thirty of the principal Gen tlemenof the County. His Lordship's Motion was seconded by Mr.WoorsaoaPE, and the Address was unanimously. agreedao. On thi Motion of the Mar, quis of TrrcHFr Et,D, it was then resolved that the Address should be presented to His MAJ ESTY by the SHER IP ' IoS and' a Resolution of Thanks was voted to them for their condut upon this occasion.

This Nobleman, during d j , long life enjoyed the world : as meek as am who have ever lived in it. He, was not distinguished for. talents, but he was by no .rneans deficient in good sense. He was very well acquainted withv mankind, and particularly conversant in all that relates to the Sporting. World. In the earlier part of his life he was conspicßous on the Turf, and once rode a match on the Newmarket Course himself. .He brought forward a machine, chiefly. of his own construdion, which run against time, and'by which he, gained a very large stake. He was very fond' of Music, and a very good judge .of merit in that province. Asa man of gallantry, he'has long beets the subjed of notice and raillery, but though he indulged himself freely in theplea. ,sures.attached to high rank and large fortune, the world has never heard of any afts of criminal pro. fligacy and deliberate ,seduetion., He was. of. a hospitable.- turn, and 'altogether a good-tempered man. If there are no striking proofs on record of his generosity, it May,,,however, be said, that few men have given less offence, and those who knew him best, thought best of his intrinsic charader.

This was to ha effeaed in the folloifing manner ; and for which it would be necessary to apply to Parliament for their saistlion to the Bill,. to which the Ministers had promised their most cordial co-operation (here the Correspondence be tween the Court of Diredors and Lord CAsTLE.
