' • FRIDAY, FEB. 6. The SPEAKFR requested Gentlemen would take notice that he proposed taking the Chair at three o'clock, for the purpose of accommodat ing those Gentlemen who had private business to bring forward ; and that thus he might be free ro read to the House, any Motion of a public nature after four o'clock. A Petition from the Debtors in Ilchester Gaol was received, praying for relief. The Order of the day was read for entering on the adjourned debate on the standing order, prohibiting the interference of Lords Lieute nants, &c. in the eleClion of Members to serve in Parliament. Sir C. MORGAN moved an Amendment after the words " Great Britain," with these words, " That no Lord Lieulenant avail himself of any authority derived from his Commission, to in fluence the eleCtion of any Members to serve for the Commons in Parliament." Mr. JOHNSTONE thought it more expedient that Lords Lieutenants of Counties, who were Members, should resign their seats, than that any alteration should be made in an Order that had been held so essential a guard of the Liberties and Privileges of the House. Mr. Yoa could see no material alteration in the °Me& from the proposed Amendment, and it appeared to him very unjust that the Lords Lieute nants of Counties, who were appointed to those important situations on account of the conse quence and consideration they enjoyed in the places of their usual' residence, should forfeit the opportunity of serving for their respective Coun. ties in Parliament. The Question on the Amendment was then put and agreed to. NEW BREAD AMENDED BILL. The House went into a Committee on the New Bread Amended Bill, and the House being resumed, the Bill with Amendments was re ported, agreed to, and read a third time. Mr. ABBOT moved for sundry Accounts of Balances due by Officers of Customs and Excise, the Distributors of Stamps, the Receivers Ge nerdl of the Land Tax, the Officers of the Post- Office, and of the Crown Land Revenue, the Paymaster General of the Army, the Comtnis. sioners for auditing the Public Accounts, Audi tors of the Imprest, 84,. so far as the same can be made out. Mr. LONG moved that the Sr rA • xrit issue a new Writ for the election of a Member for the Borough of Old. Sarum, in the room of Sir G. YoNGE, who has accepted the office of Steward of the Chiltren Hundreds. COMMITTE E or SUPPLY. The House in a Committee of Supply, Mr. Ross moved the Estimates of the Army and Navy, and Officers on half-pay, Esti mates for building, repairing, &c. of Ships of War ; Estimates of Guards and Garrisons, &c. The House being resumed, it was resolved that the House resolve itself further into a Committee of Supply on Monday next.—Also ordered that an Humble Address be presented to His MAJES TY, that he would be graciously pleased to give dire\ion that There be laid before the House, a List of itegiin,mital Officers on Half- Pay ; an Estimate of . the sltarge of Chelsea Pen sioners ; an account of Services incurred, and not provided fox by Parliament, and the probable expenses of the Transport Service for 180 r. Mr. ReISII also moved an humble Address to Litt MAJESTY, to order the proper O ffi cers to lay before th e house an Account. of the Sums cf Money issued in consequence of Addresses of that House, and not,made good by Parliament, A Person from the VietuAing Office, and an. other from the Bank, each presented Accounts ordered in their respettive Departments. Mr. ERAGGE presented the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire what new Regu lations were necessary to be made in consequence of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland when it appeared the following Resolutions had been agreed to : Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com mittee, that all persons who shall question any Return of Members to serve in Parliament for that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland, that have been or may be made to Writs already issued, do question the same within zi days after it shall have been returned into the Crown Office of that part of the United Kingdom called Eng. land. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com. mittee, that all i)erons s ho shall question any return of Metnbers, to serve in Parliament for that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland, that shall hereafter be made to Writs not already issued, do question the same within fourteen days after it shall have been returned into the Crown Office of that part of the United Kingdom called England ; or by- lodging a s Petition in the Office of the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland within four. teen days after the said return shall have been brought into such Office, , Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com mittee, that when any such Petition shall be so lodged within the time before limited, the said Clerk shall make a Copy to be preserved in the said C 4 re, ' and shall immediately transmit the original Petition to the. Speaker of the Haase of Commons, to be laid before the House ; and in case no such retitiOn4all'be lodged within the time before limited; thekplerk of the Crown shall transmit a Certificate sigoed by himself or his l) , ‘. puty, specifying when the return was made, and that , no such Petition had been lodged previous to the Certificate. • Mr. BRAGGE said, the Pccnoltitiotts had gmle .r.to i;seater detail than mig4i have been exieekti he, therefore, rather wished they should to milted to the Otamination of the House. He moved, that the said Resolutions should be fur ther cotisidered on Motiday next, add in the mean tune printed. Adjourned at Five o'Clock till Monday next. THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERL FA LSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, FEBRUARY 7, ISol. THE statement' in all the Papers, of the people on board a Flag of Truce that had sailed from Dover some days ago, having been refused permis sion at Calais to land, is totally void of foundation. On the contrary, the persons on board that Flag of Truce did land, and nothing more occurred in this instance, than has been usual during the whole of the War, with Vessels dispatched from Dover under similar circumstances. The French Squadron which seems at kngth to have escaped the vigilance of our Cruizers off Brest, consisted, according to the observation made on board the Concorde Frigate, of Five Sail of the Line and Two Frigates. By the first ac. counts from our Fleet, it consisted of Seven Sail of the Line and Three Frigates, so that probably Two Ships of the Line and a Frigate had been obliged to put back to Brest, either by having suffered damage, or from their inability to get out of Berthaume Bay along with the others. We had some time ago occasion to mention our opinion, that this Squadron was destined for Domingo, and not for Egypt, as some of the Papers of yesterday asserted. Among the tea sons which we have fur persisting in this opinion are, that no one in France has,• during tho last two months, called in question the destination of this Armament : that General SAt-tvcv ra &ESP AGNAC ) Commander of the Troops, and Citizen, ESC: LIE R, the Civil Commissary of Government at Si. Domingo, are on board Ad miral GAN rft EAUME'S Ship ; and that the Bishop of Si. . Domingo, and some other Priests, whom TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTUR R requested to be sent out, were also there. We deem the following to be sufficient reasons for believing that the French Ships arc not destiged for Egypt. In the first place, our Expedition against that Country, was begun a fortnight or three weeks ago, and the French Government have long been in expedation of- it : it is hardly pro bable that it would, in such a case, have been guilty of the imprudence of risking Five Ships of the Line, which could hardly fail to meet with our Force in the Mediterranean, of more than, double their number, who, we may be well as sured are, in the present circumstance, incessant ly cruising within sight of the Coasts of Egypt, and particularly of the chief Ports of Disembar kation. The number of men, besides, which the French Squadron carries out, is not sufficiently great to afford much assistance to the French Army, or to be of sufficient importance to ex pose, to the risk of loss, the vessels which carry them out. The information of the Officers of the Concorde, strengthens our supposition, for when the French Squadron was first discovered, it was steering to the Westward. After having thus stated the reasons on which our opinion is found.. eel, we do not call on our Readers implicitly to adopt them. We may be deceived, and the fad may prove different from what we conceive ; but until that shall turn out to be the case, we must give credit to the information which has reached us, and which we consider as derived from good authority. It is both our duty, and, as far as we "can pursue it, our custom to follow the most rational course of informatiOn. It is known that the fifth brother of BONA PARTE is on hoard Adm. GANTH AUME Flag_ Ship, and under that Officer's immediate con troul. This young man has been sent thither to expiate the faults of youth of which he was guilty at Pie:]s, and in the hopes that the sea service will correct the effervescence of his passions, and tame his natural arrogance. Three 11am:burgh Mails still remain due. THEIR MAJESTIES and the PR I NCESSES left Town yesterday morning, for Windsor Lodge. We untlerstand that the Levees of the SPEAKER of tI House of Commons commence to-morrow. The Earl of ' LucAN, who was introduced by Earl SPENCER at the Levee and Drawing-room, on Wednesday and Thursday, is the Brother-its.

I THE Dhgator, of Liverpool, a fine new West Indiaman, mounting 24 brass guns, in returning from her first voyage to Demerara, was unfortu nately • wreckedat Rosebegh, in the Bay of Castle. main, County of Kerry, on the sth ult. and out of 6o persons who happened to be aboard, only three sailors were saved.. The shores of that wild re_ pion being covered with bales of cot/on and pun, cheons of rum, and all the other precious contents of a very rich cargo, were for three days exposed to the pillage of the natives, as no Magistrate re. Sides . in that neighbotrrhood. On the fourth day, however, Mr..tVimisuxt.i., late High. Sheriff of the • County, who lives 40 miles off, arrived in time ) , by means of great - exertions, to save part of the cargo for the owners. Bills, and Bank l Eng land Notes to the amount of 20,0001. were re., . scued from destrutlion ; and 12,0001. worth -of property was discovered to belong to the heirs of a Gentleman, passenger, from Berbice, who had perished with the crew, and whose body, being found and identified by the three surviving sailocs, was interred with all due decency at Inch, LISBON, JAN. 26.

CORDE FRIGATE, DATED PLYMOUTH, FE/).4. " Ott the 27th of January; Cape Finisterre bearing distant is leagues, we disco.. vered, at . nine at night, by Moon-light; seven large Ships about two miles to windward, tin, der easy sail, steering to the - Westward ; be.. ing on- opposite tacks,' two bore up for us., One however, in a short time resumed her course, and joined her fleet ; the other continuing iii chace . of us, we stood on, until we supposed tie Fleet'distant about six miles; somewhat in . our lee-quarter, .when having brought to, we made the private signal, which not being answered, convinced us she was an Enemy. When she was within hail, and.during'some preliminary conver sation between the Captains, I had an opporttinity of observing her, from our comparative size, to be a Frigate of very large dimensions, with a poop; any further observations were prey ented by a vol ley.of musketry, and an. order to strike• to a French Frigate. he then ranged up on our lee.. side, receiving and returning our fire as she passed, till' she shot .to far ahead as to bring-us on her quarter ; in which position we kept her warmly and closely engaged for about half an hour, when the Enemy's fire entirely ceased, he re ceiving our broadsides, ,kvhich brought hit; boat and other wreck from his stern and quarters into the water, without returning a shot. k'rom this we concluded that his people had deserted their quar ters, and that he had surrendered ; but we soon found his attention was engaged in making' his escape, as we perceived him making off from us before the wind. Our braces being shot away, some minutes elapsed before we could pursue him ; and though_ every exertion was made by Captain BARTON, we could not again, bring . him to aftion, At three in the morning we lost sight of .him, and perceived. him again at daylight ; but his fleet soon appearing to windward, obliged its to relinquiSh the pursuit, anti steer for England. Though the presence of a very superio r .force has deprived the Officers and brave Crew of La Con.: cord the honour of adding a fine Frigate ,to the British Navy, yet the consciousness of having
