Mr. - 4114H, who attelltittied 3S Counsel against the Bill, in one of the M)st able and eloquent speeciies we ever argued ag,:ihst the Bill holwe the kiouse, and against the general sy.,:em of our Poor Laws, as thay related to Work - iipuses.—Crinsel 0. and the Bill being read • a second time,' Mr. Dicks NS spoke shortly in favour of the Bill, and moved, that it should be coMinitted, though he 'admitted, it was nut intended to att upon it im. rtwrijareiY. 4'ir R. BUXTOlrsaid, the sturt'requited for this Work,house 'was no less than 4.0,0001. ant be thought that at a. time when such great burthens were 'laid 'upon the SubjCt, so peat a suteaa 40,000 1 . should not be levied without the most sa tistadory evidence, that ,it was absolutely necessa, ry he coneluded, with opposing the Bill. • Mr. ROSE said, he did not know of thjs Bill till he came into the House, and though he by PO means. approved of worlc.houses, or that part of the system of our Poor Laws, yet he , did not think it would be - right. to throw out this Bill until sonic other- and less , objeetion a l. system was atiopted.• He argued * ll ' Olll Y against the disadvantages and expence which attended 'the pitin of maintaining the. roar ii work:houses, except' the aged or the insane. He stated the great advantages which had resulted from the institu(ion of friendly societies, which he said had increased so much that there were at present no less than 600,000 Members. of those ,societtes: But however he might disapprove of work.houses; still until some other systelt.was adopted, he could not consent to throw out this Bill, Mr. HURST said, it had been admitted that the Bill was not to be carried into execution, and if it w.is nor, it could trot: be necessary. He understood the present w p ik.linuse was not in so bad a st ate b ut that it might be. repaired ; he therefore would 'not consent to the expenditure of such a sum of money for the ereCtion of a new work-house. Mr. A/ORL AND said, the present workhouse had been examined by skilful surveyors, who were of opinion that its safety could not be insured for many months, He adverted, to what had fallen "11.-Ami - who said, that the poor-rates for Sr. James's Parish atnounted to zr,ocal..a.ye,ir, and yet that there were only between -6 and 700 paupers. Mr. Mott LAND said he was informed, t ha t the expellee of maintaining the pampers did not amount to more 6.1, a week, one with another. Mr, MAlttrir opposed the Bill, Sjr WiII,•PCILTENEY also spoke aglinst the Bill. It had been sail that if the Bill w.t., passed, it would not, immediately he carried into execution, but if the work house was iri the, ruinous slate presented by those wllosupported the Bill, nor an hour should be lost in pulling it down. The Hon; Gentlemin who spoke last said, the maintenance of the Paupers only cost. 34. 6d, a week, one with another, but it that was the. case, he wished to know what becalm of the remainder of the 2 110001. .that was, annually raiscd fOr the Poot Rates. egpressed his ditapprohatiorwof the plan of Work, houses,,,and adverted to the case of liambilrgh, where they had io,ooo poor and only to,Oool, a year to maintain them, and yet they had contrived to lower that, sum: Mr; Fs t.t.owss also opposed the, Bill, . a nt i 0 14 Motion for its comtriittmcnt was negatived withoot a division.

THE SU N. *OLIN QUIS.lllCkiel rAtsum ♦uDilT ? AONDbIV, &:NE 2,t, 1803, AN Attack is apprehended upon the Islands of Guertitt:y and jersey, or at least upon the latter, in consequence of which Five Frigates sailed yester dly from Portsmouth for that station, and several more Ships of War are under orders. When we recoiled that Sir Pam SAISMAREZ commands by Sea, and that General GORDON' is Lieutenant-Go. vernor, and Commander in chief of the Troops in Jersey, we entertain no apprehensions for the safety of that Island. ' , A French National Brig, of zo guns, from Mar. tiniqne, been sent into Plymouth, by His Ma. jesty's Ships Dragon and Enilimicm. WE yesterday' stopped .the Press 'to state the re cFipt of Paris Journals to the 19th instant. The Afolliteur Of the 17th •gives the London news from The Sum of the 13th, and the article stating the King's unexpeetedly coming to town on that day, is a Note which informs us of the nature of the Dispatch which the. French Messenger brought who reschecl London Of) the Sunday Evening. He brought over the Capitulation of Hanover concluded by Gen. MO it T 1 e tt, for .-its M A J . gpTY'S Ratification, the 'CH 1E P CONSUL waiting for the K tic's kali ficatiox before ,he rtstifiesi it himself ! The insolence of this measure could 'only spring from a little and malignant mind „A statement appearq in the /lioniterir of the 16th,' issued frum the office of the Minister of War, of the entry of General. MORI' I Elt into the City of illmover ot:the sth intiani. It 'is said in this statement that the most.exait disApline was preserved amongst the French Troops. The French Army found in the City 15,000 Musquets, 'co pieces of Artillery, 'and various oche!. stores. In the Fortress of also there were 500 Pieces' of Cannon. General. FRE R E had marched, for C;ixbatven to in. tercept the passage of all English Vessels on the Elbe; and General RYVAUD, who was in possession of Perden, was charged with the execution of a si milar purpose on the Inscr. General Mon'r rER adds, that although there was little public money found, the means would be furnished of paying the French ,Troops, without the assistance of France: of this there is _little doubt. The Hanoveri a n A rm y i s stated to have consisted of 26 Battalions of Infan. try, of 500 men each, and 4000 Cavalry. Letters dated from Hanoier of the 7th; inserted in the other Papers, assert, that the greatest tran quillity prevailed there, and that the French con. duELed themselves with the greatest hortgio. In .these Letters, as upon every occasion relating to Hanover, an opportunity is.taken. of levelling the most scurrilou'vand contemptible abuse against the English Princes. The sarne.Letters state, that the Elbe and the-Weser were open to Neutral Veisels, but shut against the English, .and that the French had found at Stadt a r rive of 3o guns. From Bream, of the Bth, it is stated, that the French were in the neighbourhood of that City; that an pmWr a o had been laid upon the English vessels ; as an indemnity fof the liremen vessels which had been detained here ) and that all Bills of Exchange froii gnialula orLPlfirolfanil gem4Nrgh, had been 2' Fatettecli A few, and a very few Captures of English V. ith are detailed in the Aloniteur, which will be fount) under the 1 1 .11i3 head.' These Pdpers` give no account of the departure of the Flttsr Co NSU t. for Brusieh, but the Miniater of Marine set out for that city on Monday the 13th, and a detachment of Mamelukes, destined for the escort of the Ft RST CO NSU L, left Paris on Wednet. day—the latter therefore is probably on bib journey to Brussels: he would probably set off on Saturday last. Letters from Consta;z6oA, inserted itf the French Papers, as they have invariably done for some time past, give a most flourishing account of the state of French influence at the Porte. The purpose of these accounts is obvious. -Leghorn has been declared in a state of siege by order of General R AT, and all the English the re declared Prisoners of War upon their parole. To English vessels in the port, richly laden, are staled to have fallen into the handi of the French. i. Tie City of Antwerp has been placed under litary execution, for not having furnished its con' tingent of Conscripts. The F:encli Funds were at 48. go. . , Tms great length of our Report of . the Pro ceedings of Parliament on Monday night, Pr e ' vented us from yesterday offering any °l)ser . v c a g t E i 0 1. 1 . 1 1 5 t 1 0 . o n at the y for a d din g a " "proposed steod theby ;4l:y - Strength of the Country.
