The more effectually to guardagainst I in position, the Purchasers of the Aromatic Vinegar are re quested to observe, that on the Stamp of each BOttle a,re en graved (by permission) the words " Thomas and William .Henry, •Mahehester," to counterfeit which is a capital fe lony ; and that Messrs.

TOR R INOTON, and Mortar, took the Oaths and their Seats. Lord HOE ART, in pursuanc e of the Address to His Majesty, lately moved by the Earl of CAR - LISLE, laid on the Table the dates of the different Dispatches that had been transmitted ro our Settle ments in India, relating to the King's Message of the ?th of March 1803, and up to the actual com mencement of hostilities. Earl SPENCER moved. an Address to His Majesty, praying -that he would give orders, that the dates of the different Dispatches transmitted , to the Go. vernor or Commander of the Island of Sr. Helena, subsequent to the presen t war, should be made out for the use of their Lordships. POSTPONEMENT OF ['HE MAR'QUIS OF sTAr. FORD's MOTION. Lord - HAWKESBURY rose to state, that he trusted the Noble Marquis whom he now saw in his place, would consent to postpone, for a few days, the Motion of which he had given notice for this day, relating to , the State of the ..Defence of the . • Country, and in eXpeetation of which a great num ber of Noble Lords had ,come down. There were some circumstances existing, which induced him to apply to the Noble Marquis for this temporary ac commodation, which were not necessary for him to enlarge upon, but which were sufficient in his mind to authorize him to request that it may be deferred for. a few days. .The Marquis of STAFFORD'had no objcdion, provided it met with the concurrence of other No. ble Lords, to accede to any proposition for delaying his Motion for a reasonable time. • Lord)GRENVILLEE declared,, that it would have afforded him more satisfaction, it the Noble SECRETARY of STATE had communicated to the House the nature of those circumstances which in. duced him to request of his Noble Friend to post. pone the Motion he intended zo bring forward on this day. On such important and delicate occasions, it was usual for persefts standing in the situation of the 'Noble Lord to be more explicit. If tee de lay solicited war for the purpose of suiting the particular convenience of the Noble Secretary, al though that certainly was not such a ground for deferring the Motion of his Noble Friend, as could be stated to be a very strong one, yet he, for One, was not inclined to refuse any reasonable accommo , dation to the Noble Lord ; but if the reasons. which induced the Noble SECR ETARY of STATE to cal for the delay of a few days, rested upon higher considerations, it would be better that their Lordships should know that such was the fact. Let those grounds be explicitly stated, let it be fair ly avowed, that such were the motives that have operated to request this postponement, and he was persuaded, that nothing would appear on the part of Opposition to impede His Majesty's paternal efforts to appoint smelt an Administration as would best provide for the-honour, the interests, and the seen.' rity of the State. He would not oppose postpone tnent of his Noble Friend's Motion fur afew days ; and as he thought the, Noble LORI incapable of tri. fling with the feelings of the House, or the feelings of the Country, he would not.only concur in his re quest, but .propose that their Lordships should ad. journ to that particular day to which his Noble Friend was requested to defer his Motion. Lord HAWKESBURY said, that after having stated, that peculiar circumstances existed, which rendered is highly advisable that the Noble Mar. quis should dein( his Motion to a future day, hedid not think it very candid on the pact of any Noble Lord, considering the, situation in which he stood, to call on him for an explanation of the circum stances. He would state again to their Lordships, and he would state it not only upon his official cre. dit,, but upon his charader as a man, that the cir. cumstance he alluded to were neither light nor trivial, but, weighing sufficiently upon his inind to induce' him to make the application he did to the Noble :Marquis. He could not concur with the Noble Lord as to the propriety of an adjournment ; he saw no necessity for it. There was. nothing in the state of the Country, or of public affairs, to jus tify such a measure; on the contrary, it would be productive of extreme inconvenience, should the whole course, of public business be stopped, as it most certainly would be, should the proposition of the Noble Lord he adopted. He had said 'every thing that he thought necessary, upon every.consi deration of public prudence, to induce the NoTiTe Marquis to postpone-his Motion ;if he should not succeed, it would be the subject of regret to him, and in that alternative, he would not hesitate to meet the Noble Marquis, and to enter fully upon the subject. The Earl of CARLISLE wished that the Noble Secretary, had spoken mote plainly and explicity, as to what his reasons were for requesting his Noble Relative to postpone his Motion. He knew but one circumstance which ought to weigh will) the Noble Marquis and the rest of their Lordships, to cause the postponement of the great Question that it owas intended to submit to thetn—a circum. stance which he was persuaded would send every Noble Lord; and eve!) , man in the House, hone contented and rejoiced—and that was, the certainty that His Majesty's Ministers were to retire from the situations they filled at present. Lord HAWICESBURY again declared, that he grounded .his present request on his conviaiun of the public necessity of the case. He had felt himself at. tacked, not-by a common Party deairous . of obtain. ing parliamentary smisfaetion, but by .a ~_ 1
