VERNON, were stvc,rn and took their seats. TheiDuke of Antos., after a few prefatory nbservationi on the subjett, stated his intention to . move, that the Edinburgh Road Bill be read a third time on, Thursday. • the -Duite. of'CLAttENce immediately moved, .that their Lordships be • sin - wooed fur Thursday ; which was, ordered accordingly. The Duke of . ATHOL' then moved, ,thit the Edinburgh ROad 'Bill be read a third time; on Thursday. On 'the question being put, The Auks of. NORFuLK rose to oppose the mo. tion. He observed, that the Bill, as it now stood, militated not4mly against the principles of good faith, but the established custom. of, Parliament. He believed there was a clause in the general Road Aft, tending to exempt from toll, &c. all species of manure : the Bill in cloestion . contained no such provision, and; he submitted whether it was not unjustifiable, that :those persons who took lards contiguous to the road described by the Bill, cm the faiths of their being able to convey lime, Sec. to them as •manure, should be so injuriously ditty_ pointed by the 'operation of the Bill. He was t;t... tetioined ..to take the sense of their Lordships on the question, ' • • • The strangers were excluded ; after which a 'vision took place, when there appeared For. the Motion, GS Against it, - .3 Several private Wills were brought up front the Commons by diffezent Gentle Men, and read a Irst time..

CELLoR "and the BishoP of Sr. AsneH, the last Clause of the Bill was rejecled, 'as was a pan of the preamble of the Bill, and some verbal anund. ments were made. ,The. House then resumed, and ordered the Re.' port to he received to.morrow. The Bills upon the'Table , were forwarded in •heir respedive stages, after which an tOjuarnment wok. place. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, MAY O. SIR JOHN ANDERSON brought up the Reprt of the Committee on the Bill for improving the Port of London; which was agreed to. The Order of the Thy was read for the third itading of 'the Coroners' Bill. General TARLETON sail, he thought the state Ow Country was in at this period, was suffident to induce the Mouse to put a negative tin the Bill now under debate. He could . : not but express his surpriie, that an ipplic:itiort was at all made to Parliament to increase the income-. to Coroners, when it Must be well known to every Member in the House, that the sittnitii , n of a Coroner was very lucrative; and he knew that. many men hive often exhausted both their intere it and money ,to possess the situation,• which.ha3 been :described by several Gentlemen in that House, as scarcely worth accep. tance, He would beg leave to 611 the 4ttention of the House to some of those brave men who have fought the battles of their Country, and who ex. pcnded the whole of their lottunts to purchase their situations, in both ,Army and Navy, and after the greatest and "hest part of their lives have been spent in danger turd the service of their Country, they have been happy to retire in their aged (Lys (.0 filmy pound 3 a 'year'. These noble, and highly hoi:our» able ehargiers, were above making .an application to the House for : relief: yet it set of Gentlemen, most of whom are men of 14=e, lake every wafts, tp'put the different Con;ities to an additional ex. pence by applications of this nature. Ile thought. the House, in its wisdom, could not lend „itself to such a measure ; he, .therefore, would not hesitate I to give his vote against the Bill. • 11/It.kitia.sT said a few words in support of - the Bill. M r . slimy. LEFEV R E said, he rose to oppose the Bill ; the power the antericlment has: vested in the:Wgistrates, they never cou]d thcharge to:the satisfaction. of themselves :Ind those Who might be conneeted with that poe'er ;. thought that -the Amendapent would tend' to. prodpee much confusion .anti he should - therefore move, that In.' stead of the word . 4 ‘ now." be substituted' the words ,follikwing, 61 that this Bill be read this day tsix. months.", Mr. DENT said, he was surprized that the Bill slmuld.he opposed in its present stage, particularly. is-the Amendment had received the concurrence of the ilottse ; but, as so mucli had been s aid on i ts merits at different times, he should leave it to the silidoin of the Hearse, and he did not doubt, but they would see the necessity of passingthe Bill into 4 . Law.: 'I" he House then For the Amendment 61 Against it 63 '!'he Bill was .therefcr lost. A m e s sage f ro th t h e loird;; stated, that they h ar t agreed to several private Bills. The Soldier=.'-Relief Bill was read a second time, and ordered- to he laid before a .

Petitions' were now left for the deter, minet ion of Committees, that were to be 'appointed for that purpose, but from those Members who were, Already serving oti'different Committees, andeothers, . who were absent, there would not be more than ,one hundred and thirty.fiveinembers who could serve, ' which number would' not be sufficient to form the Committees ,inquestion : and taking into considerae tion the quantity of business which'has been done this Sleision with respen to Petitions, be wished to take the sense of the House, whetherlt would not . be 'better to postpone the coe'elderation of the other' Peeitions till next Session, as business of great importance, is , 1 ikely to comelsefore the House. He should, therefore,, with the permission of the .House, move, tint the Order for taking into con sideration the .Petition for Radnor on Thursday e'nnight, he read and discharged, and that h be taken into consideration in August next. Mr. CQOI'ER said, notwithstanding what• had been so ably 'peed by - the CHANckLI OR of the Exciergueß, yet he thought the business of the House•ehould not be impeded. The Hon. Gentle:. man had said, that we have disposed of a great portion of business ; hut if we calculate the bu . - sineas thatewe have gone through, it will be found to be much less than that House has dispatched on a former Sessions. He observed, that be would' not subscribe 'to the delay which has been pro. posed, as it woad tend to ptoduce great mischief and dang er. 'Mr. iVILL lAMS WYNNit said a few words against delay. Mr. FOX" laid, as the CHANCELLOR of the .EXCHEQUER had expresied a wish to know the sentiments of the House on the resent question, he felt induced to say a few words, and he must confess he was of a different opinion from the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of •the EXCIIEQUER'o He thought th'at as the parties 6rinefled with the Peti, tions expeaed Committees to he formed to try 'the merits of each case, they would experience a great disappointment if the House sanaioned the tn,;tinn of the Rt. Hon. Mover. From what that Rt. Hon. Gentleman had said„it appeared that there were near 203 Members now in the House who-had not served on any Cometittee, therefore he could not at 'pre. sent see any reason that these Gentlemen Should he exempted from the burthen and fatigue which ac companies Konbers Whoeeerve on a Cominittee. Th e 135 M e mbers mentioned were all amenable to the rules of the House, consequently they ought to give their time and talents to Public business. Mr.Kewitt tits BROWNE expressed his approbation of the sentiment's just &Heeled by Mr. Fox. The CHANCELLOM of the •EXCHEQUER said, he only wished to ascertain, the opinion of the flonie on the present question : be could assure Parliament, that he wished the .bnsiness of the Committees: to be proceeded on,- with all possible dispatch : he therefore begged to withdraw his Motion, which „was agreed to, after Sir:LA WR aNC PARSONS bat' said a few words. The House went into a Committee on the East India Volunteer Bill. The Resolutions were then read' and agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be-brought up to-mortow. A new Writ was issued for the eleaion of a" new Member for. Callington, in Cornwall In the room of john. English Fortescue, Esq. Mr. ?v ry r 1.1.1! presented a Petition from, certain . Tanners in Ireland against the Leather Duty. Ur. CORRY said, th,rt many Petitions.bad been presented during the present Session against this Tax, He had upon former occasions expressed his intenrioN to move for a Committee- to take this subject into consideration, and that' the Petitioners +o n o nave an oppartonity of entering.fully into the exlmindtion of the' subjed. He, therefore, wished now to give notice, that he should move on a future day for the appointment of a Committee OD - this day three weeks, talake all these ,Petitions intO c o nsiiiiration. If any. circumstance shows! occur to render it inexpedient that thelCutnruittee• Should sit on the day of whiCh hc. him given notice, he would very, willingly propose any oilier day that would Iv ! mnre convenient to the Petitioners. The Petition was ordered to-lie on the Table. On 'the motion of Sir W, Scorr, rthe House_ resolved itself into a Committee'of the whole House on the Clergyrnen'S. t`lan-ReslacrlCC- Bill, . cfpoo the clause for exempting Chancellors; \riots Qeoeral,'Surrogates, etc. from ,the mcessity of Residence, a conversation of COnsidarablo length took place'. An AmentiMetit was proposed hy RYDER, the objett ,Qf which was, nor Co give them an absolute exemption- iron the necessity of resi. denronprio living:;, but to leave it to the... cretion of the 'Bi,hop. This AinCodment was sup: ported by . the A i rotiNcv thtNeit AI„ and opposed by Sir Wm, ScoTr, and the ettAtic ELLOa of .the, it • •• , Exc HE,QUEliatia nek . a . tived by in 9011ty of 47 to t 4. .toother division took place upon the exemption o f Minor Canons; the tx,etnntiOn was agreed to, but we could not ascertain the numbers of the, division, I,reon the •incstion for-mint sing the Libratian of the British Museum, 'another diseussion arose : it was contended that 'the office of Lilirarian to the Btitish Museum, was not neceisa. rily filled by a Clergymin that in faa the relent Librarian was not aClergYman, and that it would be better to augment the salary of the dice, than to eke it out with a LiVing, and twice it an excuse for non.residence. Sir 0 1 7t1. SCOTT said, he was not very tena. dons on this part of the clause, hut if the Committee were of opinion that a pOsitive exemption shoul4 be given to the person, 4octiog tots office, h e l ope d there would be no oblation to placing it is the second class.pf exeMptions, that is to say, ,to heave it in the discretion of the Bishop; which was asreed to; Contietsations also took place Upon the pro. posed Exemptions to the Masters and Isitets of- 1 4 tie schools a Eton,: Winchester,. and West., minSter, and Mao to the Fellows of the two Vtrsiries, urni . r cprt.sin citgUrOstanccs, niCKINSOArs jl4ti• supported 1 .14 F 3 emp.

It ha been said, that education would as well be varied on by Laymen as by Ecclesiastic's - : on this sleet he'entertained a very differept opinion, and deired the House would compare the fruits of the edcation of Leyden and of Gottingen, and the Ut h iversities of Oxford and of Cambridge; and he' hi no doubt but the Morality, the religion, and th erudition of young men educated by English Eclesiastics, could with success be put into the sole against the fruits of Lay German P , ofessors.

We have already given our Readers reason to bLlieve that positive orders were sent by Mr. SYLVESTRR on Saturday evening, for hi 3 Lordship to come home, unless a full assent were given by the French Government to ..ur maw!, which seems highly improbable, and is not at all expetted here. It is useless to disguise the v_ nerd feeling in the higher Political Circles, that W ar is inevitable..—By to-morrow, we expect}, we shall hear of Lord WHITWORTH being on his way home. Our Letters.from Plymouth state, that on Sunday night the hottest Press yet known took place at alai Port. Four Sloops 'of War were lying in Ply mouth.,Sound ready to sail with Dispatches; and on the evening of that day one of them, the khrgi.4Al4, sailed to the Westward with sealed Orders. We learn, that. last. night the Packet for Lord WHITWORTH usually transmitted thrr.lugh the Post. . Office by. the French Mail, was not sent for trans. mission.. There can be no doubt of hiA Lordship having left Paris yesterday, If not o' Monday • So much arc the minds of 1 1 tinisteit made up urcp t the, cAuestion of \Val th4t we ttn , kistand the enota whole of the Correspondence between them and I French Government is already printed, ready tube distributed to the Members of both Houses, as promptly as possible after Majesty's M es sage is delivered, and the Official Documents ordered to be laid upon the Tables of the two Houses of Par. liament.. It is very volUminous, consisting of up wards of thirty folio sheets. It cannot fail to be highly interesting. • The UttlniSt activity pretails in making wsrlike, a. • preparations, and fortunately, now, in a quarter where increased exertion was particularly necessarY• .• 4k. hot press, .and from all Proteetions, is now tali• ing plate in all our Sea Ports, and it is hoped that . Men (without whom our Ships are of no use), may be procured, in a sufficient number, to send, with promptitude,' a strong Squadron to Sea. Admiral CORNWALL IS will 'command the Channel Fleet, Lord KEITH in the North Sea, and Lord NELsort in the Mediterranean. Three more able :Admirals never hoisted a Flag. We hope that their exertions, in the cause of their Country, will not be datnptcl by that want of harmony and confidence, w hich, • for the last twelve months, have uitfottunately vaded that Department, on -which the Country most essentially relies , not only -for the ioppor..l its A P H A ; i n a o m u e r n , t b a r u y t l o n f Independe n w c e e brienl,iieSifeec,tti about to be instituted, which will no doubt, be the means ;, of its being publicly known to what causes these , Misfortunes are to be imputed , and to Whit degr ee 1, they exist. This Inquiry, we u nderstand, will be !, set ,on foot by a Member of the House of Common s ): whole Charatier places him above the imputation of Party motives in making it, and whose t alents ate . fully equal to the management of a business so gralo' and important. From what we have. already stated of the liea4s of the British Ultimatum, and the renewed propositions of the French Government, it ing sufficiently apparent that Malta is the great r upon which every thing turns.. We• required, we understand, that we should keep it for Five, or ac, cording to other accounts we have heard, for Spvta ! Years. This the CHIEF CONSUL positively refused. Wemight keep it One, but with a stipulation tha his t we should evacuate it a t the end of that time. but T , would be convenient enough for BoNnvitt-re, very ruinous to us. It will be near a year bell° he is "read to renew his designs upon EgyPt , a throllgh that upon India and we should Imo 1110 , expense of, keeping Malta till he is ready ; and then resign it to hiidominion ; for we are oov fujir tisfied, that, evacuate it rzybeil 'we 13( ::,, Aa PARTE rtaill gain immediate pares tion 1 m .2 ilde Upon this ground our I\.'litlistry bal e a , made stand; it is fortunately no t too late to r ret en firm and" successful one , Upon our tion Astata, it is obvious that the safety, of our in di : Dominions- depends. We have thus a National Jett to pursue ; but with the Fr ench the case is c t)r • eSt different' The People of. France have no 1 . 06- in Malta--it cannot extend their co or conduce in any shape, to their National weilare to security—they will therefore be plunge,' agaill in , n a War, because the personal ambition of the niblis who happens to be their Ruler is , thwarted, and private enmity 7against the commercial prosrrl.l of this Country is curbed. This is acopious r and we shall probably resume it, for the henefir, so much of our own Countrymen, as for that of 1_ 1 . : People. mmerce, .0r of France. In the degraded -state of the r ` itl licPr p ess in that Country, they ca n learn o f `h oleic own situation, and the pr omul g ation of 'IN • vf is ever conducive to: the general it:ine's v mankind. We have been favoured with some Privat e Leti octan t rers from France, which afford much and ialP • r icitis • information. A general dislike to a \‘ l . • n iton England . pervades that Country, with, the '4.°l iii - of the Army, who are eager and ciarnOrolls ilt)vre The hopes of the Royalists too tar r otn v' La the idea of War.
