THE LORD CHANC F t.t.utt informed the House, that Ills MA J V.STY h,td heeo waited upon with the Address of their LorthhiFl , :, to which His J ESTY had been pleased to return a most gracilus - Anzoi er. The considetation of the Scotch Appeals was postponed till Monday, and that of the fitat English Appeal fixed for Friday. • - • • .The .LORD CHANC ELLOR observed, that he had something to state relative to the Privileges of the H ,use, in con equunce of which StraEgers were ordered to withdraw, and were not again re.ad. muted. 'flop House adjourocd' soon after four o'clock till tomorrow. . . IRJULS E OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 34. , The SP EAK Pk acqnainted the House, that the Petitions complaining of undue Eleetions for the following places had not been renewed, viz. Hull, Lepinits4ter, - . Shaftesbury, and Boston. The Bill for entlning the London Vvct 41ck Company..to raise all additional hum of 500,0001. wai brought in and read a first time, EAST INDIA BONDS. Land C ASTL ERE AQII rose, pursuant to the notice he had given on Monday •last,- to bring forward a Motion' respetting the Eat 4 India Corn. pany!s BOnds. The objed of his Motion was to obviate a very serious inconvenience that arose from the npr_-ation:pf the Property Tax upon the Persons holding these Bonds. Those Bonds were liable to a duty, of s:per Coat. under that Aft, to which he did not objeel; bAit the means which had been pro. v ided for enforcing the payment of th" Tax were ex. tremely ineonveqieh.t. The measure he m eant to propose would nOt,in 1,1:e _least affeCt the amount of the Tax, it was'merely: a regulation by which the Tax would be collOed in' a more coriVenient man. ,rter 'to 'the Holders.Of the Bonds, withoUt being less productive to the'Public. The C o mp an y w e re go . 'vkrued by the same laws which governi.4 private S'ectrities, aird consequently could nut receive more than 5 per Cent: ' The Interest payable on Exche. waaat the rate of §l. 6s. 6J. a year, lie wished therefore to enable the Company to pay an ivereased interest on their Bundj, but not execeding .that paid on Exchequer Bills, His Lordship con. eluded with moving for leave to bring , in a Bill to -regultt , ,Bonds issued by the East India Company, an!tto aiigtnent the rate of interest paid thereon.— :Leave given. Mr. COUR Y gave, notice, that he should ,on Friday- next . move for 'at - Bill to continue the 4. striaion on the Bank of Ireland. e „ Apt()URNED DESATI. Mr. De moved the Oider of the Day for resuming the Adjoerned Debate o'n the Motion to excuse Mr. PEDLPY frtm his further attendance as a Member of the Waterford Committee. The Or; der living been read, Mr. Dt'PERALL said, it was not his intention . to occupy the time of the House, because they were in possession of the fiCts upon which this application was made. This Gentleman had represented to the House the pectiliar situation in which he stood, and the urgency of the case which required his imme. diate presence in Jamaica, and he had very little doubt btit that the House would grant his request, particularly as there _was on probability of its being drawn into a precedent, for 'he had no doubt hut that: the Bill for regulating the mode of trying Con tested Eleetions in Ireland would be altered before another Committee sat. AS to what had been said 'of the probability of the Committee being reduced below the number of Nine, it appeared to him not very likely. to happen, and the Legislature itself had contemplated this case, by allowing Com tnittees to proceed with only Nine Members. The ATTORNEY GENERAL admitted that this was a case of hardship on the individual, and he should he happy if the House could feel itself justified .in granting the request. But there was a chance of great hardship to the persons concerned in the Petition, because, if the number of Members on the Committee-should be reduced below Nine, a new Committee must be appointed, and the whole pro ceedings commence le xf,vo. He felt himself there_ fore reltglantly ;Impelled 'to oppose the Motion, particularly as no, precedent could be produced, in which a similar application had been grdnted. • - IVM. DUND AS also opposed the Motion, which he considered as calCulated to establish a . very dangetous precedent. ,this' application' was grunted, any other Member would he entitled tO, apply for leave to g o to 'lreland or to Scotland upon private business ; a n d he saw no ground upon which it could be refused if; this was granted, because it would make no differen.ce whether a Gentleman Wanted to gcilreland,' to Scotland; or to Jamalta. M. WARD, Mr. BURLAND ) and Mr. Bancae, spoke against it. The SPEAKER then stated, that, upon examining the Journals, there appeared eight Cases, in which Members had been discharged from their attend. ance upon Committees, in consequence of sickness or dcath of near relations. With regard to applica tions on the ground of private business, there were four Cases—one them was the case of Oak. hampten, where a Member, who held an important Office in a County, was allowed one day's leave of absence to attend the duties of that Office; another Case was that of Shaftesbury, in Whi c h Si r R ICH ARD WORSLEY, who was Returning Officer in a 80. rough, was discharged from his attendance alto,: gether upon the Committee, in consequence of an Etedion.being about to take place in the Borough of which he was Returning- Officer. The other two were striCliy cases of private business, and in both of them two days' leave of absence was allowed. The f - louse then divided on the Motion, Ayes +;, Noes ;+--Majority against it 9. When Strangers were readmitted into the Gal lery, we found the House in 4 Committee of Supi)ly. The following Resolutions were agreed to, viz. That 100,000 Seamen, including Marines, be employed for ;3 Cal,trittir months.

From Hanover it is stated, that a great quantity of artillery had been conveyed from Hafat/N on the Weser. to Nirmburg, where it was said the French would entrench themselves very strongly, and that six regiments of the Army of Reserve world come, thither from France. Other accounts state, that half of the French army in Hanover would shortly return to France. Another report affirms, that they' will concentrate themselves in the Lauer:burg, eva cuating all the rest of the country. , Nothing certain appears to be known upon the subjea„-except that the country is plundered and devastated by the French troops, who , will probably starthere as long as any thing remains capable of beciifiling the .ob. jetts of plunder.:,, '4ll/!! r;ept Paperi ;tece ved ,rll e EirOught ,ri for mation,from and Notfolk to the 12th of Otiober,. and from New-York to the t,ath.
