The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed • • The Clergy Residence Bill. Was . 'read a third time and passed. Sir 11. MILDAJAY wished to know the mode of .preceeding, which the E ',Lox of thr,.. Q,vs,te Olcant to adopt, respeding the Taxes upon Landed and Personal P. - operty. 7heCIIANCEL LO R tipb r .EXCHEOUER he meant on Moeda) , to propose to unite tine two Bills, and to propose his' Amendments pro firma ; then to have it printed, and to enter upon the dis cossion of the,Bill ,ifi'MundaY mennight. . The Irish ,liak:Note 13111, and the Irish Militia Pay Bills, were read a third rime and passed. Mr. Atd•-gastoen, muted for leave tn hting in a Bill ter further securing the Revenue upon. Malt; and for regulating the tradc of a Diitilier in Ire. land, &c, • • Cal? ur rose to second the Motion,• and said, that with the permission of the House he ,would slate the substarcee of the Bill which it was now proposed to ,iotroducee . the objet 'of it was not .to raise any new duty whatsoever, but to attend the coliedion of the, Revenue. The first , use of the Bill 'elated to the mode. of charging • the Maltster; it was not proposed to a!t•er - the duty, 'but to change the mode of its collection ; .by the former. At upon this suhjed, the surcharge "on • Malt, was made according to the deficiency in-quan. tity of the Coro prey itably wetted ; it was now pro. posed to regulate tie 'Surcharge according tit the• deficiency in the Dtify previously charged. ,But the ainottot of the duty, and the rate of charge were to continue the same. The second 'Clause 'gave the Commissioners of the Revenue a power to reduce the quantity to be charged upon the Maltster. Pie next Clause autlrrixed Excise Officers to remove Grain, when making into Malt, for the purpose of . more accurately ascertaining the quantitv, and to rcounterad the pracliee of . pressing the Mait, : so a: to evade a considerable part•of the Duty. The next Clauses provided ;Mt Brewers, and Distillers frig Malt should not mix Malt of their own making with Malt made by 'others, and that they should ',keep them in seearate stores. They 'also prohibited . IVlaltsters•from selling any''Malt but of their own Making, .trtless they had Licences as Malt-ladors. This last regulation was necessar y; to prevent the frauds 'which were committed by persons nominally included in the Maltstetti L Lic.ences. These were " all the tegulationa which 'extended- to Malt. He . was sorry to go so notch into detail 'upon a'soltjed so uninteresting to many Gentlemen, but be - knew that the Gentletnen who represented that part of the United Kingdom in which this Bill was to ape. rate, were naturally and laudably anxious' upon . govt.-thins of this kind. With regard .to Distillers, it sv,,a propoSed that a penalty should be paid for thcd..ficieocy in the Distiller's Stock, as coinpared with the Officer's Return. This penalty- was neves. asry to prevent that collusion which was frequently prod ised bet ween the fraudulent Distiller and the Ex- Officer. It outse t happened, that after the Officer had examined the Stock of the Distiller, and a 'tho. rough onderstanding being e sta bli s h e d b et wren d iem, •when the Officer was gone, a considerable cluanti4 of Spirits was sent : out, which the Officer to •k ry goon care,not to meet ; and this led to a eery set:odus fraud on the Revenue, because this void, tilos ' , rented in the Distiller's Stock, might then he tiled : up • with illegal Spirits, whith had not, paid the-duty. It was therefore proposed to make the liable to a penalty for any diminution in his stock, %which was the satire principle that was aded upon with regard to Malt.—The next --Clause went to lay a penalty upon any Palish or Townland its which' any unlicensed Still was fOund. This was not a new penalty laid on, it was only proposed 1,1 alter the mode of colleaing it, so as to make it These fines were to be recovered by what %Spa called LONDON, j ULY 4, 1 8 3. A l)ispatch from Admiral Sri" * Tow: Co'vrors Was yesterday received at the Admiralty, giving rt riecqutit of the very gallirt Adion performed by La Cede, Fri ,ate, Capt. NIAITI, ofctit;;;lg Out French Guu,licig,' called i/e Yenlegtvi (lUM . 4Thier men. t!;e zatreries. or Lie isle at 13:13. This Brig tll wilts six 42 pound carronades, and four long zB.pounders, and'lLa 82 men onboard'. The ser. vice •was perfumed by two Boat's Crews of La Loire, Who seem to;haie:44ted tipon this occasion with all the characteristic gallantry of British Sea. rilVa 4 ntlie arli.nit. that this Vessel was ab. served by Lii Loire, then 'cruizing cff the Isle of Bas, and on the sine night three boats were detaChed froni our Frigate under the command of Lieutenant 'TEMPLE, for the 'purpose of boarding her. Ont of . the boats, froM• rowing heavily, could not get up, but the men of the' other two very gallantly boaided in the fate of the Prench crew, who were ready. to .receive them, and after a severe contest of ten mi. nines on the ileac, they carried the Vessel. . The' Second Captain and, ,two Seamen of tke French Brig, were killed, and the Captain and all the other :Officers and eight Seitaietl.were wounded. None of our People were killed, bui the Boatswain of Let Loire; lota Seamen and one Marine, were wounded. , This enterprize vies with the most brilliant ex. ploits of the last War, which it Was our duty and pleasure at the time to record ; and in' the spirit and courage of British Seamen we are certain :we may ever repose the most unqualified confidence. Ma. SUAW, the Messenger, landed from France on Saturday !morning. He had been sent over to solicit the release of the Earl of EL G I.N , so ovju i tly and cruelly detained in France, which has been re_ fused. llo,„4AhrAivrit, it seems, entered Calais at five o'clock on Friday evening, attended by a numer,us Suite, and a large detachment of his Gu4rd4, Ills i-,e6ption, it arvears, was not of that amm.ited and entl,uAi,,stic nature which his agrnts and sycophants . .

In the Mani/err.r is. a long article extraEted from the Afercure, which the Itioniteur has of course adopted as its own, and which we have given in another part of our Paper. 'the most curious charge against this Country, in the hodge.pudge to which we have alluded, is that of having adopted the Revolutionary Principles of Revolutionary France. Our Readers t will perceive, t h at a , var i ety of la. houred inferences are drawn from the Speeches of some Members of Parlianient, and from the obser vations tilsome of the English Journals, in order to prove that discontent exists in the (.I,untry, in con. sequence of the ''axes imposed for the prosecutiOn of the War. It quotes an article from Tuts PAPasts justly praising thc great talents .of Mr. PITT, and then.obsarves, that that Gentleman has quitted pub. lic business, and retired' from London. Mr. PITT, on the 'contrary, , has closely attended his' duty in Parliament, and with a noble patriotism has rendered every assistance to `Government in the present crisis,- and suggested the most material lin provements" in those measures which have been brought; forward to meet and to repel the threaten ed danger.

There were unfor. turpitely in Ireland a number of small houses, gene rally by the road side, the owners of which, with. out any licence, sold-Spirits, by_which means the, health and morals„of the people were m4terially, in. juted, and the Revenue greatly defrauded. There were provilions.npon this subjefi now in force, but - they hatrbeen found' lie .quite - insufficient. These ) 'were the principal regulations of the Bill, which he .shoul4 propose, with the permission of the House, to liave printed, when it arrived at its proper stage. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. ' Mr. LEE said, he was glad the Hon. Gentleman had explained all the Amendments he intended to 'propose upon these subjettsi,. for they were all, and particularly the Distilleries, matters of great int., portance in Ireland, and produced a .great psrt'of the Revenue ; and he was glad there was no new arrangement to rake away, any of the Taxes. The - -explanation now given had .prevented any mistake 'upon 'this subject. The question being put, leave was given ,to bring in the Bill. Tee'Report on the Lottery Bill was ordered to be receivtii on Monday. Mr. CORIY rose to give notice, that in the Cnmmitree of Ways and Means. on Monday, lie 'should nr:)ve for leave 11l bring to a Bill to empower the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland 'to raise by Treasury Bills the sum ~ of 1,ip00,000 Irish currency. This proceeding grounded itself upon the present ,state,of Publk Affairs, and upon the state of the Money Market in this Country and in Ireland. Those eir- Cp:n.S;3llCeS suggested the possibility. (though be hoped the thing was no at . all likely to happen) that these might be- such a bidding for the Irish J)ian t,000,0001. now .about to, be r a i se d, as t h e Irish Government might not think fit to' prnpose for the' approbation of Parliament ; in which ease the Treasury Bills had mentioned would stand in the stead of the suoi now proposed to he raised by way of Loan, but which Treasury Bills would not be necessary in case of the Loan being contracleti for. Vile measure was theref2re only a provi.;ional one, calculated to meet the pOsAbk case alltllkd r AdjULltned till Monday. Fran the L )VnON GAZETTE, z, Munillg-Street, jaite z.B, 1803.
