And that "Several of the former arguments are Lonstrucied anew, and rescued from tliat hrevitt, which to Readers who an unacquainted with the nature of metaphysical argument s ' ifitOt Soisivtiiiies have rendered the conctussone apparently coot ust:d and indistinct." - IIVIPERML PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. MONDAY, 'ED. zB. Tu Royal Assent was given, by Commission, to the Bank Restrinion Bill. The Lords Commis sioners on this occasion tvere, the LORD CHAN CELLOR,' Lord AUCKLAND and Lord WALSING- HAM. The farther consideration of the case of Lawson u. Maxwell and others, • was, we understand, post. poned. Counsel were finally heard relative to the Scotch Appeal, Finlayson v.lnnes. After which the Lotto CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack, and stated his sentiments of the case at some length. He con cluded by moving, that the Decree of the Scotch Court be affirmed by their Lordships, anti that the Appellant do pay tool costs. On the question be, . tog put, the same was ordered accordingly. Mr. ALexANDER, attended by several Members, brought up the Militia Exercise Bill from the Com ' Mons. Three Return,Naturalization Bills were also pre-. seined by the same Gentleman. Mr. GR IMSTON brought up two private Bills. ' These Bills were severally read a first time. . The Dule . gf MONTROSE took the opportunity afforded him by the first reading of the Militia Ex ercise Bill, to throw out some observations on i ts peculiar impoiCance :..the Bill, he said, merited the best attention their Lordships could give it ; and so impressed was he with the consideration of the important Consequences of the Militia Force, that lie deemed the .Freedom and Independance of this Country closely connected with their well-being, order, and discipline. He did not then mean to propose any particular day for the second reading of the Bill, but merely took the present opportunity to say, that when the Bill shoUld come to be read a second time, he intended to call their Lordships' at tention to it, as a measure of very great arid pecu liar importance. `Some routine and private business was then dis posed of. The LORD CHANCELLOR again quitted the Woolsack, and observed, it was in their Lordships' recolleaion, that the farther consideration of the case of the Chandos Peerage, was fixed for Thursday next, ,in - the Committee of Privileges ;—his view in rising was to'apprise their I..,otclships of his inten_ tion of moving, in the Committee, on Thursday next, that the consideration of the said Case be far ther postponed : this he felt himself called upon to do, on'the same grounds which he had done when he last had the honour.of addressing their Lordships upon the subjeCt,.naMely, , on account of the un avoidable absence of the Noble and Learned Lords to whom he then alluded, and whose assistance in the discussion, would be essentially desirable. He was then unable to state at what particular time those Noble Personages could attend, but he thought it proper, under' the circumstances of the case, to make. this notification to their Lordships. , After q moment's conference with Lord WAL. $1 NGHAM, the Noble and Learned Lord stated, that he should, on the day mentioned, move to postpone the further consideration of 'the case for alortnight. The House then adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Nittrwhx, rE$• ,THE SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock. General No wrox brought up a Reporr,stating that Lord CHARLES SOMERSET MANNERS WOE unable, from indisposition, to attend the Committee al)» pointed to try the merits of the Liskeard Elation, in consequence of which the House excused him. Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS, brought up a RepOrt, ,stating that Sir EDWARD WlNNiNcroN's indtspo. sition prevented' his attending the ComMittee ap pointed to try the merits of the Waterford Elation. Pr. MILLIVIAN made an affidavit to the, same eft - at, in consequence of which he was excused from any further attendance on the said Committee. Lord EUSTON reported from ,the Dunfermline Committee, that' Sir JOHN HENDERSOi4 Was not duly elated, and that the Hon. Capt. A. CoCit. RANE was. duly eked ; also that the Petitions complaining of an ;undue Elation and Return for Dunfermline did not appear to the Committee fri volous or vexatious. Go a gotion by Ln.rd EUSTON James Trotter was ordered to be taken into Custody of the Ser , .jeant.at Ahm, for nonattendance as a Witness on the Committee, appointed to try the merits of the ,Dunfermline EleEiion. Lord Eui-to'N moved,' that the Deputy, Clerk of , the Crown be ordered to produce the Books of the Dunfermline Distriet„ in order that the name of John Anderson, and all that relates to him, be erased (twit the said Books. Ordered. :Several Members were sworn in, and took their seats, Sir WM. ANDERSON gave noticei. that he should j make a few observations an the Report, relative to the Paddington Canal Bill, whenit- - watotaken into consideration. The Usher of the Black Rod having ,summoned the House to ,attend the House of Peers, th e SPEAKER, attended by several Members, went up, and on his return, informed the House, that the Royal Assent had been given, by Commission, to the Bank Restridion Bill. THE . •PRINCE OF WALES. Mr. 71' RiVIIITT said, he had the 'honour to address the House on a . sobjed of great im. pounce, namely, a COmmand from His Royal Highness the . Pripce of., Wales, to make the following communication, which he immediately read, That the Pat feex has felt with the most sincere and afrec. IlOtiate gratitude, the gracious purpose of Ills M u r y, in mommending his piesent situation to the consideration of Parliament. That having seen by the Vote% of the House of Coinmons, the manner in which they have received Majz v's recommendation, the Pa INCB deems it incum. bent on.him to express his warmest acknowledgment of their ) liberality ; at the same time the Pa i t s cc, though fully con- ♦inced of the propriety of resuming his State, and greatly re gretting any circumstance which tencrs to disappoint the wishes of His MAJ Err Ir.; or of the House upon that subjea, yet feels himself bound explicitly to declare, that there are still claims remaining upon his honoufand his justice, for the dis charge of which he must continue to set apart, in trust, a large sinking fund, and consequently postpone, until the period of their liquidation, the resumption of that state and dignity, which, bciwever essential to his rank and station, he knows, from dear-bought experience, could not, under his present circumstances, be resumed without the risk of incurring new difficulties. The Pa 114ez thinks that he owes it to himself, and to PO ' liament, - to make this declaration to them, with the same distintiness as he stated, it to His Majesty's Government, upon the first communication made to him of His Majesty's benign intentions. With resPed to the Prince's Claim to an account of the Revenues which accrued from the Dutchy of Cornwall, from the' year X 762 to• x 783, however' strong his confidence in the validity of his claim, a confidence fortified by the stropgest Legal Authorities, yet as he trusts that through the gracious interposition of 1413 MA31 , ..3TV, and the liberilir ty•of Parliament, he shall be enabled otherwise to provide for those dinnands on his justice, Which alone induced him to assert his right, he now cheerfully relinquishes his suit, and has direiled his Law Officers to forego all further pro ceedings. Mr. CALCRAFT.said, it was his intention on Friday next, (if that day would suit the CHAS CELLO& of the EXCREQU Elt); . to submit to the. House a Motion relative to the affairs of the PRISCE of WALES, the object of which would he, to enable His Royal Highness to resume his state and splendor immediately. Mr. ERSKINE observed, thatany Motion of a tendency similar to that just specified, was entirely without:the privity of the PaINCE of WALES. Mr. CALCR AFT said, he had no authority for it, hut he was aluated by his own feelings , ; and knowing the Prince ought to'enjoy his proper nity, - he Would,. at the time before mentioned, submit the. Motion, if that d;iy would suit the CHANCE,LLOR. of the EXCHEQUEIt. The CHANC ELLoR of ,the EXCHyQUER assented. Mr. SHERIDAN moved, that the communication of His Royal Highneqs the Prince• of Wales should be entered on the Journals. Ordered. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that it should be an instruaion to the Gentlemen appointed to bring in the Bill relative to the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to Make pro Vision for the repeal of so .much of the At of the 35th of His present Majesty, as , related to the application of 'the sum of 13,0001. annually out of the Revenues of the Dutchy of Cornwall, towards discharging the Debts incurred by the PRINCE of WAL ES.

'He also begged leave to postpone the consideration of the Ship-Owners' Petition. • The LORD MAYOR observed, it was his par. ticular wish that the Petition alluded to by the CHANCEL Loa of the EXCtIEQIIER, should be post. ppned to Wednesday se'nnight. Mr. DALLAS, Mr. WILII . ERFORCE, and several other Gentlemen had leave of absence for' various reasons; but on a Motion that Mr. Cuol.mort- DELEY should have the same indulgence for a few weeks, on account of private business, there was a general cry of No, No, prevailed—the nature of the Hon. Gentleman's. business being explained, the House granted him leave of absence. The SPEAKER gave, notice that from this day, no private business could be entered upon after pub. lie, except on days of ballot. Several AcCounts respeding Ireland were brought op.—Ordered to lie on the Table, The Pancras Workhouse Bill was read a first and second. time.

DIR E To shew the extent of depravity of which the human mind is capable, and to prove that With Out a sense of religion " the-heart iscallcus," you are re_ quested to insert in your useful paper the following extraCt from she Annual Register fur the year 5771, page John Chapman was executed fur rob. ping Martha Hewitt : on setting out . for the place of execution, a hook was put into his hands by the hangman, Which he no sooner received than he threw amongst the populace ; a Clergyman then got into the. cart, and enhorted him to behave with more decency, and to think of his sudden change : instead of attending to his admonition, hg got up in the cart, and (being pinioned) drove his head into the Clergyman's belly; and tumbled'him out of the cart ; after this, he flung himself out, but was prevented escaping by the irons with whk , was loaded, he was then seized and tied by ropes in the cart, and so carried to the fatal tree ; at his arrival there, he refused either to hear prayers, or to pray himself; two men with the hangman attempting to lift him up with the rope about his neck, he by some means gOt the hangman's thumb into his mouth, and almost separated it from his hand ; he was at length tied up, and died exulting in -his offences." This wretch, however, did not by. a seditious harangue, endeavour to seduce others to follow his miserable-example. :h he MA11.4. DUE. 1 'ASIR Wit D. Holland - French. . liarnburgh 0 • • • . • ....

At.a Meeting held yesterday at Lloyd's Coffee house, of the Subscribers, a Motion was made by Mr. 4NGERSTE " That on account of the emi nent services . Earl-Set= a a has rendered them and the Country at la'rge, during his late Administration, his Lordship's Portrait shbuld be placed in the Sub scription-room, as a testimony of their esteem and regard." A very spirited debate took place in copse.. quence, and the sense of the Meeting appearing tO be against Mr. NGERST ' E IN'S proposition, an ad. journMent was moved. This motion was over• ruled; and the following .Resolution was at lengih agreed to : " That notwithstanding the very high sense the Subscribers entertained of Earl Sr Ericta's meritorious services, they could not, consistently, adopt the Motion in question, as it might encou• rage motions of a similar nature in future." The Dublin Papers contradia the report of n pro. posed abolition of the Vice Regal Court in Irelnn,l, which was circulated there as well as here some. time ago. The York Hgrald, received yesterday, contradias the report that several persons last week were ap prehended and committed to York Castle, on charge of High Treason.

An Influenza. has been prevalent here for the last formighr, but happily not so severe or fatal as that which has raged at Paris. The CHIEF CONSUL, it is to be hoped, will at length be reconciled to the People of Jersey, when he learns that the Liberty of the Press is at least curtailed in that Island, if pot altogether -restrained, and that too by its Civil Government. In consequence of a riotous disposition having manifested itself amongst the Seamen employed in the Greenland trade, at Shields, the Cagsfort fri gate, which was under orders for sailing to the Nore, has been detained.--Another gun-brig ar rived last week. • A curious seizure was made last.week at Portsea. Upon occasion of a marriage, - the Bridegroom gave an entertainment to his friends at the Society and sent the wine froth his own house : soon- after the Company were placed at cable, two Revenue Officers entered and seized all the liquors in the room : they had been purchaSed at the Custom house, but the Gentlethan had negleaed to take our a permit for removing them from his own house t 0 the place of entertainment. A very serious fracas took place last week at the Portsmouth Theatre, occasioned by some drunken young . Bucks of the Navy. They interrupted the performance, threw a lighted candle into a Box among some Ladies, and otherwise conduced them. selves in a very riotous manner. The Peace Officers being afraid to ad as the young men were alt armed, the Military were called in, upon which a cry of fire was raised, and the whole audience thrown into the greatest alarm and confusion, and several serious accidents were the consequence. The Gentleman, who not long since advertised for an accomplished wife, with a moderate fortune, was received in due form by a very accomplished female adventurer, at the elegant house of a family now absent from England, no doubt through a con nexion with those who had the care of it, and passed for an heiress to a considerable fortune. After receiving a few rich presents, suitable to the occasion, the Lady appointed a time for fulfilling her promise of running away, as she was under age, which she did before the expetled time-:—not, how ever,. by running off with the Gentleman, but With the jewels I
