V!*• . * . imPERIAL PARLHAVISNT. HOUSE OF PEERS, MONDAY AUG. I. Titu several Bills before the 1-louse were for , warded in their respeaive stages. Col. STANLEY brought up two Plivatc Bills from the Com nom, which were read a fittit time. Their Lordships proceeded to the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Bristol Ilarbour Bill, on whi'ch occasion Counsel were further heard respeaing the measure, viz. Mr. Vintner on behalf of certain Petitioners against the Bill, anti Mr. Adam in support of it. The Bill was then read a third time and passed, and a Message sent to acquaint the Commons there with. Mr. ALEXANDER and others brought up, from the Commons the East India Trade Encouragement Bill, the Customs Regulation, and the Two Millions Vote of Credit Bills. • Mr. ARCHDALE presented the 1,g00,n001. Ex. chequer Bills Bill. The Woollen Manufaeturers' Protection Bill, and a few Private Bills were also, brought up from the Commons by different Gentlemen. These were severally read a first time, after which ther Lordships adjourned till to.morrow. • and important measures that had been brought for. ,ward aincc that time,' they would see thdt it, twas really impossible tli. , t this subjed could have been propnsed ,at an 'earlier period. The flotist of Otange baiy undoubtedly a claim upon the Gene. rusity of this Country, in consequence of the services it had derlYed from that illustrious House : but it had also a claim upon our Justice, because when a Negotiation was entered into with the , vian Republic • respecting the Indemnity to the FlJusc of Orange, they offered to giant that In. &amity on condition that we would give up the Ships we had taken at the Helder. This of course we could.not assent to, the consequence of which was, that the Indemnity was not granted. Upon these grounds it appeared to him that tile Prince of Orange had a claim ueon the justice as well as upon the liberality of this - Lmontry. He begged however that the House would observe, that this was not an Annuity for any specific term of years, but only during His M.,jesty's pleasure, and which therefore must from time to time be brought wider the con. sideratiun of Parliament. Upon these grounds, he hoped the House would give its assent to the Bill now before ihcm. Dr. LAWRENCE said, though he did not mean to oppose the Bill, yet he did not think that the reasons urged by the CHANCELLOR of the Excti e• QUER were by any means satisfaftory ; he did not like to hear of an Annuity during pleasure to the illustrious House of Orange. He agreed with the Hon. Gentleman who spoke first, that this measure ought to have been brought forward at a much 'earlier period of the. Session. After adverting to the Negotiations upon this subjel at the time of the Treaty of Amiens, he concluded with giving his as sent to the Bill, The Bill then went through the Committee, , and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Stamp Duty Consolidation Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to. morrow. The Irish Sugar Impoitation Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to. morrow. The Tortola Port Bill went through a Com. mince, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow, The House having resolved itself into a Com• mime of Stipply, • The CH,INCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER rose to call the attention of the Committee to the case of a Mr. Duhois, an American Loyalist. At the time of the contest between this Cquntry and. America, the family of Mr. Dubois . espoused the Royal Cause, which was followed by a loss of his property. ,At 'the Peace 6f 1783, however, the claim of Mr. Dubois was nut admitted in this Country, because though he had been deprived ,ot his property in America, it had not been ahsf•lutely confiscated, his parents being dead, and he not .be. ing of age. After the Peace Mr. Dubois went therefore to ,America, in the hopes of regainieg hi s property, instead of which he was thrown into prison, and could not obtain his enlargement till 1 . 800, at w hich time he returned .to England and laid his cast: before Government. • Under these cir cumstances he hoped, the. Committee would concur in the resolution he should propose, which was, to grant him the sum or 50001. which was considerably less than the moiety of his loss. Dr. LAWRENCE supported the motion, which was agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be received to.morrow, The Prizes. Duty Bill passed a Committee of the whole House, and the report•ordered to be received to.anor row. The Order of the Day for the further considera. don of the Warehousing and Bonding Duty Bill be. ing read, it was postponed, on the Motion of the CIIANCELLOR of the Exctiegtm, not because he expeeied opposition to the measure, hut because be wished to introduce some improvements into it.— As a proof that the Bill was not now likely to be opposed, he read a Letter from some of the most respeBable Nileichanis of Liverpool, the only quar ter from which any opposition was expated, the substance of which was, that they did not wish to oppose the Bill,- but wished it to go into a Com. mittee of the whole RIUNC, Wheie they huh no doubt it would receive the Amendments they conceived it wanted. • The Order of the Day• for the further considera tion of both the English and Scotch Assessed Taxes Bills were delcrred until to.morrow, on the Motion of Mr. V vrtAR T. The Bell Rock Light-House Bill passed a Core_ mittee of the House, and after a short conversation, supported by the Lotto MAYOR of LONOON, Mr. H. Beowetv, M. JOHNSTOVE, and Mr. STAN'. FORTH, 'the report was ordered to be received on Thursday next. Tie! Scotch Army of Reserve bill was ordered to be read. a third time to-morrow.—Adjoutned. MUSE OF CUMAIONS, MONDAY, AUG. 1. THE LORD MAYOR presented a Petition from the Debtors confined in Newgate, praying relief.— Ordered to lie on the Table. Lord Gmtrati FAY la brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the state of the Journals of the House of Commons, which was read and agreed to, and an Addtess to MAJESTY' voted, stating, that the House would make good the expences of printing the same.

A new Writ was ordered to be issued, to elect * Member for Downtun, Wiltshire, in the "room of the Hon. Joxn WM. 'WARD, who bas accepted the Office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. The House went into a'Committee on the Ex. piring Laws Hill, and the Report was ordered to be brought trh to.morrow. The Property Tax Bill was read,a 'third 'time, andAtassegt. Mr. VANSITTART then propoeeti several Clauses, which were lead and agreed On the Order of the Day 'being read for the House to go into a Commits of the whole House, ‘n the Prince of °anima's Annuity Bill, Mr. C ALC R a said he was one who had given his support to the Treaty of 'Amiens ; in that Treaty, it was stipulated by the Ilrench, and the other Powers -who hart entered into the Treaty, that a provision should be made for the Prince of Orange and Family, but he wes sorry. to say, that the promise of that Treaty had .not been enforced try England.; and now War had commenced, an ap. plication was made to the Muse for the support of the Prince of Orange., lie was ready to acknow. le,ige that the Family had, for many years, and at diff:rent periods been highly tnieful:. to - •England i and he should not have stood up to have .oppns ed the present measure had Ministers made the application at an earlier period of the Session. Though the sum proposed for die Prince n and fa. roily is not very large, yet this was not a mo. menu to lay Taxes on. the peoe and he could Hot but repeat that he thought M in isters ought to hole, enforced the fulfilment of the Treaty of Amiens As to the political use of the' Treaty, he for one tboughu it - a fortunate thing for this Country that it was concluded, as it chewed the People, that it was the wish of this Gayer's. went to live at peace with, not only France, hut • every nation ; and it also went to quiet the politi. cal fever of the day This being done and the nation being now satisfied th at Peace with France* at present is more dangerous to our rafcty than War, we have gained ,by the Treaty fresh energies to sopport a new Contest. no C 4NCELLOR of the is' XCIIEQUER said, it' must he in the teettnattoh of the House and of the lion.

OUR Port Litters of this morning announce tic capture of twu French Privateers, the one of guns and tso men, and the other of 4 guns and 5 , tric n Vie are sorry to state, upon the authority of a rut up latr yesterday at Lluytist, Coffte. House, the capture at tne jaw 1 4 agate, Ot 32 guns, by a French Scrtadron off Toulon. This Scoaclron, whatever may be its destination, will hardly escape the vigilance of Lord Nauort. Total was no fresh arrival from Ireland this morning. We present some additional fans relating to the late Insurreetion, chiefly furnished by pri. vate Letters received yesterday. We entertain the hope that tranquillity is restored in that Country upon permanent grOunds, though the Proclamation which , we, gave yesterday of one of the Rebel Leaders,. proves that their audacity at least is not much diniiniihed. THR Ilamburgb Mail due on Sunday, arrived last night. It appears by Letters from the //apt and Amsterdam, that the unfortunate Batavian Re. public has been called upon by the First Consul to make exertions as much beyond its strength as they are contrary to its interest, and repugnant to its feelings. The will of the First Consul, however, must be obeyed, and the Dutch Government ha. voted too Gun.boats, to carry three x 8 and t 4. pounders each, and aso Flat-bottomed Boats. There is, however, a material difference betivein' the voting, and the glual equipment of a Naval Force ; and we know that the Dutch are not pro verbial for the celerity of their motions. Citizen SCHIMMILPINNINCK has been ordered to attend the First Consul at Brussels, and the Batavian Go vernment has received direEtions to receive 26,000 F!ench Troops into their pay, and to furnish an aux illiary force of 16,000 men. The Hamburgh Paper states, but we kno . w not, upon what authority, that there are 180,000 men employed in the construdion of Flat.bOttomed Boats in France, and that not less than 4000 of them will be finished by the Autumn. was a rumour yesterday, of some strong measure being about to be brought forward last night in the 1-louse of Commons, on the part of Go. vernment ; but nothing was said, o; any notice to that eiTeEt given. --'the measure was supposed to relate to the Suspension of the Habeas Cotptts Ad.—That there are several United Irishmen in London we know, and we believe that several per. suns conterned in the recent Insurreftion in Dublin have made their escape to this Country..—When too an Individual can dare to stand up in a Politic As. sembly and say that . "it is impossible for an honest man to lend an assisting arm in the defence of the Country," and when such a Sentiment is by that Assembly applauded, it is full time for the Govern. meet to be not merely vigilant but vigorGus......The ardent loyalty, And the martial spirit of the Nations Will, we have no doubt, be fully equal to defeat the utmost efforts of the foreign Enemy ; we look to the firmness and timely exertions of the Govern. ment to guarditta against the secret or avowed tie signs of domestic Traitors. Mr. Fox was in the House of commons last night, as was Sir le a / a rc's Bottom. We hope the for mer did not come down with the intention, had an opportunity offered, of supporting the sentiments of the latter, The absence of Mr. PITT from Parliainenr at such a crisis is much to. be regretted, but after having been chiefly instrumental in measures being passed adequate -to the defence of the Country, he is gone to carry thiin in persop into execution. He is raising in the Cinque Ports a corps which will form a Brigade of three Regiments of 600 Men each, which he will in person command. Would to God that at this awful crisis his great talents were more appropriately employed in dilating the Affairs of the Nation . . Sunday evening Windsor Terrace waft extremely crowded with the 'neighbouring Nubility and Gen. try, as well as others from a distance.
