adoption'of the Clatise; and the ATTORNEY GEN E. R AI. spoke oglinst it. Ti he conversation took a new turn, in consequence • of some ObSeTliatiODS which- felt / from Mr. DENT, respeding the Somerset House COrps ryf Volunteers, and their terms of service : in this the Hon. Gen. tlernan, MT. TI E RNEY, Mr. SHERIDAN, Mr. G. VANSITTART, Mr. Fox, the CHAN:: ELLOP. Of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. K. THORNTON, and Mr. C. , WYNNE, were the principal Speakers. Mr. Ti t RN rY was upon his feet several times in explanation, and repeatedly asserted that the Corps in question were mist anxiously desirous to extend their services to any part of the Kingdom. The, greater part of what transpired bole but very little on -the point under consideration. Mr. ROSE took the opportunity of one of. Mr. TIE RN i' s deelzrations, to observe, that in order to carry their wishes into effca; the Corps 1 , -,d oniy , to goininunicate them to His NlAjetoy's Secre tary of State. Mr.SH Ek I DAN'S sentiments of the Clause were hostile to it, as•involving a serious breach . of Par. ;eh:men:airy faith. . . Mr. Fox was of a contrary opinion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER siefrnded the cor4dod of Government with respect to the qportioning, the numbers of ,Volunteers in d•,ticrenr Counties in the Kingdom. The Mari time Countiei, especially those most liable to at_ lack had, he e,ntended, a proportionably increased cumber allotted to diem. Mr. CANNING shortly, but forcibly, censured the general sy stem of MiniEters with respeCt to the Volunteers ; in illustration of which, he instanced the case of that most important part, the County of Kent, for which the number of Volunteers accepted were mute than coon short of what had offered. Atter a few words from Sir jouN NiVROTT ESL EY, [Lc House divided. For the Amendment Against it 37 • 79 Majority . —42 Strangers were not admitted any more into the Gallery, but we understood that the further consi. 'Aeration of the Amendments was put off till to-mor row (this day). We were also informed, that Mr. PITT said that he understood that it was the intention of one of His M..jesty's Ministers to bring forward a Mo tion upon a subjett similar to that of which he had given notice for to.morrow. It was not his wish to press forward his Motion, if Ministers meant to adopt any measure upon the subject he would therefore postpone his IN/L , tion, until the Right Hon. Gcntleman hdd brought forward his - plan. At halt past two o'clock the House adjourned till this day. MAILS. DUE AR RIVED - I p'arnburgh o THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DiCBP.E FALSVM AUDZAT ? LONDON.

THis =minx we received our sets of Moniteurs to the tith instant. At seven o'clock on the evening of the 9th, GF.oR Es, and LERIDAN the younger, were arrested in the Place de l'Odeon. GEORGES was in a Cabri. olet, He killed with a pistol-shot the Peace-officer who stopped his horse, and wounded the other who went to seize him, He was armd with a poniard of the same English manufalure with that found on PICHEGRU. He had upon him a considerable suns in billets of the Bank of France, and. in Letters of Exchange upon London. , There is every. reason to believe that he was upon the point of endeavouring to escape, and to profit by the darkness of the night to get beyond the walls. He has without hesitation declared, that he has been in Paris for several months—that he came from England—and that his objei was to assassinate the First Consul, LIIRIDA.N the younger ? who was not upon the list of Brigands, is one of the four persons whom the Police knew to be in Paris, without knowing their names. He is known by the robberies which he committed for several months in the Morbihan. The Moniteur of the Bth contains some reflec tions upon the renewal of the War, so gross and so disrespedful to our beloved MJNARCH, that it is impossible for us to disfigure our Columns by a tran. slation of any part of them. The Paper of the same date contains the follow ing intelligence :—" Very copious news has been received Ir , on the isle of France. The Dispatches of Captain_General DECAEN and Rear-Admiral LINOL: contain the most satisfaanry details. The whole Squadron had anchored before Pondicherry, with the exception of the Transport the •Cote-d'or, which had remained behind. Twenty-four hours A'ter the arrival of Squadron, it was joined by :he Br's* dispatcht.l from Brest, and carrying the neWS Of the KING Of ENGLAND'S Message. Five S_liips of the Line and three Frigates had anchored rear the French Squadron. At midnight, the Rear - Admiral LINCIS, leaving at Pondicherry fifty men and the women who had debar)ced, cut his cables, went to sea, and steered for the Isle of France, where in twenty.flve days his Squadron " The Transport Cote d'Or was not long in arriving. An English Frigate fired several slot at her, which, however, did no damage, and con_ ducted. her to the English Squadron before Pondi cherry. The Governor-General of the Indies, who had received no intelligence from Europe, gave orders to release her, and the French Commandant at Pondicherry made her sail for the Isle of France, where she joined Admiral LINO IS. " On the 24th September, the Corvette Le . Bet-. ceau anchored at the Isle of France. She brought intelligence of the Declaration of War, of which the English were still ignorant. " The six Frigates, the Corvettes, and the other light Vessels of the Squadron, and eight Privateers armed in the. Country, were sent to sea to cruize. We hope they will avenge our Cotnmerce, for the numerous depredations committed by the English. " Anarchy had ceased in the Colony. The Militia were in the same state as the preceding year, and the Colony had 3oop good Troops re cently arrived from, Europe. " A considerable Dutch Squadron was at Batavia, and four Ships of the same .Nation were at anchor at the Lie of France. " The battle lost by the English against the Mahrattas was confirmed, as well as the disaster s which the British Troops had suffered in the Island of Ceylon." Another account in the Moniteur of the preceding day, the 7th instant, says : " Five hundred French had been landed to take possession of Pondicherry. The English delivered up to them the City and the Forts. They had raised a Battalion of Seapoys, and, supported by the Inhabitants, they still maintained themselves, according to the latest intelligence. The English were still ignorant of the renewal of the War in September." The Minister of Justice has published a list of the Brigands charged with attempting the life of the First Consul, and asserted to be in the pay of the English Ministry, with a description of each.

These Mon;teurs contain a great number of Ad dresses, couched in the usual strain. The French Funds were, on the 9th, 57. 50. These Papers say nothing of the time of the trial of the Conspirators. THIS morning arrived the Hamburgb M a il d ue on Sunday last. From Milan, of the date of February z 3, it is said that the approaching Spring may be expelled to produce events of the , greatest importance on the Coast of Italy and in the Me diterranean. The French Army in Italy is to be greatly reinforced, and several Corps were on their march for the Neapolitan Territory. The French Troops, it was reported, had received or ders to take possession not only of Naples, but of the Island of Sardinia. Lord NELSON, probably aware of this order, had already appeared off Sar dinia and the Coast of Genoa. Nothing is said of the sailing of the Toulon Squadron. A large augtnentation to the Turkish Army has ; been ordered. An article from Amsterdam, March 6, has the is We are aAurcd that the destination of Admi ral HARTSINK, on board of which are 2000 Troops, is Ceylon. An Expedition against this Island, for the recovery of our Settlements there, could not be undertaken at a more favo:lrable time." NEVER was there a more inauspicious day for a Minister, than that which occurred in the House of Commons on Thursday last. That Ministers, with the greatest exertions, should not have been. able, upon such a Question, to obtain more than eor Votes, must be to them a subjea of alarm, and must open their eyes “o the real opinion the world entertains of them. ,Lord Sr. VINCENT has conferred many personal obligations upon Mem bers of Parliament ; and if we are rightly informed, some of these favours have been recently conferred; and many persons have given as a reason why they did not vote for the produdion of Papers required for public imarposes, that some private benefit had been conferred—that a Son, a Nephew, or a Relative, had been, or expeded to be, promoted in the Navy. We understand that Capt.MARKH AM had said, that he should be ready to meet Mr.Pr TT upon the proposed Inquiry !—How has he met him by denying him the Information upon which he proposed to found that Inquiry. But some part of the information—two Qf the accounts demanded, out of five, have been granted Was there a pretext for this miserable and shabby proceeding, so charaderistic, so worthy of the mind of Mr. ADDINGTON ? It was not pretended that any danger could arise from the information required. What then is the ground for granting a part of what was asked, and not the whole ? Why could not Mr. ADDINGTON, upon such an occasion, sum mon up the firmness and the manliness to grant the whole, or to refuse the whole ? He says the Pa pers he refused might require explanation, and lead to Inquiry—and may rv , t those he has granted ? But Will Lord ST. VINCENT thank Mr. ADDINGTON for such a defence ? and what interpretation can the Public put upon this proceeding, except that Mr. ADDINGTON thought that Lord ST. VINC ENT might possibly stand blameless upon the information given, but that upon that which was refused, his condua. would not bear investigation ? The Papers granted are a comparative view of the number of Ships &c. in commission, and the number of Seamen borne at the present time and at former periods. Now, if it appears, as it undoubtedly will, that of some descriptions of Force there are less now than .there were at former periods, will it not require explanation to account for this deficiency ? The Papers refused, were accounts of Ships, &c. built in . the King's Yards, and in private Merchants' Yards, at different periods. Now, what interpretation eanthe put upon this refusal, except that the Adniiralty have been (as is generally believed) very negligent upon these paints. -- For this plain and obvious in ference, Lord ST. VINCENT is indebted to Mr. ADDINGTON. The Minister has upon this occasion so contrived, that Mr. PITT shall not have the means of stating to the Public what he conceives to be neglea on the part of the Admiralty, , , and that Lord ST. VINC ENT shall not be freed from the imputation of conduCting 111 the Naval Department. It the objet of Minis turS had been to slur the cbarac'ler of their Colleague, and to dissatisfy the Public, they could not have taken a line better calculated for that purpose, than that dictated by Mr. ADD iNcroN. Yesterday soon after three o'clock Mr. ADD I NG TON had an audience of His IYMAJes-rr. Yesterday morning about eleven o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at Mr. 4DDI N GTO house. Ab two o'clock, another Council was held at Lord HAwKssßußY's Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR and most of the other Mem. bers. Yesterday the Earl of CIIETF,RFIeLn entertained the Royal Dukes wil,s an elegant dinner. The DireElors of the East India Company have taken up the following extra ships for the Company's Service, on condition they are approved by the pro. per Officers. Monarch, 600• Tons, Mr. Mestaer. Atlas 54 0 New Ship, 511 Building by Ditto, at Liverpool. Ditto, 6.D0 Ditto, Mr. Lock; Weymouth. Indus, 59° Air. Temple. New Ship, szo Building by Ditto, at Newcastle. Ditto, 600 Ditto, Mr. Mestaer, Southampton Sovereign, 600 Ditto, Mr. Locke. American Papers to the gth ult. are received. The Captain of a Vessel, arrived at Charleston on the 3d of February from Jamaica, informs, that when he left there, the prospeCt of a Spanish War was quite over. The Spanish Sloop of War- cap tured by the/F.9/ra Frigate, after a proper explana tion, had been restored, and was repairing; a num ber of other Spanish Vessels, which had' been de taited in different Ports, in expectation of the War, were likewise released. Sir HOME POPIIAM's code of Telegraphic Signals have been adopted by the Court of Dtredors of the East India Company for the use of their Ships. They are the most simple and yet comprehensive Sig.: nals that have ever been discovered, and do honodr to the naval skill and ingenuity of the gallant and interprizing Officer who invented them. The Army Agent's house which stopped pay.. meat a few days since, is said to have failed fur 800,0004 NAPAL NEWS.
