His Grace. then adverted generally to the great importance of the proposition in some: points ,of view, and alluded to certain Ads of Par liathent relative to the privileges of the. Clergy, which were within the purview of the 'Bill : of course, its romideration would involve certain pnitita'of Clericol Law. 'The measure had the fa-• vourable opinion of a Gentleman of high legal an. thority, tVith whom he had conferred on the sub. je%. Whatever legal deficiencies, however, the Buil may be found.to contain, he trusted, would an tlis,cussion be obviated by the wisdom and informa-i tion of Noble Lord' wlrp were more conversant with, such subject than he could he supposed to be ; and were the principle recognized, On which the measure proceeded, it would afford him - no smilVdegree of satisfaainn. _ _ _ The Bill was theri.read a first time, and ordered; to be prinkd for the use of their Lordships.: Tho Orde r of the f/Jy, being read for the Com.' ntitment of the Volunteer Cork's Regulating Bill,. the Floose aceprdir,gly resolved into a Committee, Lord \VAL,st NCH AM in the The different Clauses" of the Bill were agreed to by tiieir .

Geniirman came Passenger in the shove Neu. tral, who brought dispatches fur the secrerazy of State, with which, upon landing, he set off for,Town. Admiral CottNwALLss has been able to keep his sttitinn ofF Brest, notwithstanding the % i iknt gales whleh,we have had within the last fortnight, a! (Ibis Fieeti we are led in hope, has sustainedijttle 110 damage, from the circumstance of none.of hi's Ships having came Into Part in rrfit within that p er i o d. The superiority of British spirit, seaman, hi p , an d skill, were never more happily exemplified than in Olt! persevering condo & of the Veteran Admiral and his Fleet upon this occasion. TEL E intelligence which we communicated on S . a_ turday of the aCt of aggression committeil by Baya. via against Amnia, and of she march of Anatrian r Troops against the Territories of the former, has given rise to much specolation: In truth, hovvever, tiro materials are so scanty aescarcely to allow of much rational speculation heiag founded upon them, depending, as it must, upon numerous conjeflures and unaccompanied by any clue to the causes of the dii. pute. It certainly is not probable that Bavaria would venture upon a quarrel with Austria without being secretly supported and encouraged .by some Power of greater 'magnitude. , It has been suggested that BONAPARTE, convinced of the impoisibility of succeeding in his desperate enterprize against this Country, may have 'thought that the only way of getting rid of his pledge to make the attempt would be to provoke a quarrel with,Austria, which would necessarily prevent him from carrying his projdl of Invasion into execution. We observed some time since. upon the danger to which Europe was ex posed from a man, who, with a large disposable force at his command, . was reatrained by no oblige tido of. Honour, no tie of Amity or Good Faith. — That danger undoubtedly still exists, and we should be by no nieani surprised to hear that BONAPARTE had contrived some way of indemnifying his -Army in the heart of the continent for the disappointment they have experienced in not reap, .ing that golden harvest in England which they were taught to exped would fall to their hands, at the price of little •or no exertiOn i not that we ,would be understood to imply that :the expedition against this Country is abandoned, but only this, that BONAPARTE looking merely to the means of gra_ tifying his ambition, or the more pressing estigenOr of satisfying the wants of his 'noon. has an alter native, and may tuff to' that side Which Present's the fewest difficulties, and the easiest accompliihment of the objeo iii' view, Having this in contemplation it certainly would be very easy for him secretly to excite Bavaria to quarrel with Austria, and afterwards' lopenly to trumpet forth the justice of the Bavari a!' eaute, - and tOembark in the contest its the supporter . , and asserter of the Tights and independenie .of that State. Bavaria is the Power, thro ug h t h e me di' uro o f which France could tTIOSI, : easily enter into a quarrel with Austria, as from her hatred to the latter she would, there is little doubt, beeolue the willing in., strument of BONAPAitTE' upo n . suc h an oCcasionv whilst °fall others she is that State best suited to the purpose, as from her connedion with Prussia and Rut. Siit t the support of the former might be obtained, and the latter Would at least be neutralized. All this is undoubtedly conjeaure, hut we, do not think it improbable i that Europe may, ere long, be placed in the situation' which . we have described;,—At any rate, - the ad of-hostility committed by Bavaria, novel and unexpeiletiar it is, naturally gives rise to conjeaure, and mark, peculiarly- so, -because •it is , a circumstance Wllich BotiAr4UTE, with the view 'Which' we have sleiSiEled,, would have beep anxious-to ploduCe.,• and one which he .oan . so readily turn to account to suit his own purposes. Subsequent intelligence may explain it to be an event of no importance, tut :it :. is egyable on the other hand, of leading to consequences of the itit. i most importance to Europe. .• , . , A Zap/ arrived this morning, brought to Falmouth by the Tortunsbend Packet in ten :day s .
