THEIR Lordships, pursuant to order, resolved into a Committee of Privileges, Lord WALSINGHAM in the -Chair.- The consideration of ,the claim of Sir Cecil Biss'iepp, B :rt. to the Barony of Zouche, was' re sumed, and- several Witnesses were examined rela,. tive thereto. The LORD CHANCELLOR then rose and ad dressed the Committee at some Length, respeaing certain prominent features of the evidence. His ,Lordship concluded by moving, "That the farther consideration of this claim be adjourned till the i nth of April next." .Previous to the question being put, it was per mitted, with a reference to the convenience of Parties, that some Clerical Gentlemen should be examined relative to certain registries which were to form a part of the evidence; .and this proceeding took place accordingly. The•question - above stated was then put, and the farther 'consideration of Sir Cecil Bisshopp's claim was accordingly adjourned to the 17th of April. After prayers were read, the several Bills before .the House, most of them of a private' or .I=l de scription, were forwarded in their respeaive stages. Among these the %Vest India Dock Bill was read a second time, and ordered io be referred to the consideration of an open Committee on Thurs day next. _ _ The Appeal, M'Call v. His.

The ab;:ve was issued preclsely at t welve o'clock. The .number of Inquirers was not.then so great as on some preceding days, but we have no doubt they will be as nurnerogs as heretofore in the course of the-day. • During yesterday one of the Physicians was in Constant attendance His KO t bey relieved each other while riley went to visit their Patients. .About eight o'clock in the evening they met at the Oueen's House and had a consultation. 'Yesterday Gen. MANNEas and Mr. VILLIERS,' the Equerry and Groom in Waiting, attended at the Queen's House, the same as if Hts MAJESTY b:id not been indisposed. 'Obit Cruizers on ,he 'French Coast have . again been attive in intercepting Detachments Of thr Ene my's-Flotilla, creeping along shore to their place of rendezvous. During the greater part of Monday a heavy firing was heard at Dover, coming from the French Coast, and in the forenoon, the horizon be ing clear, several of our Vessels were seen warmly engaging some of the Enemy's Gun-boats Setween them and the shore. The French Batteries were 'likewise seen to keep 'up a heavy fire, upon our Ships. OP Monday night it was• stated that one of the Enemy's Vessels was seen in tow by one of our's standing for the Downs but we do not find that it had arrived there yesterday. Several of our Squadron anchored in Dover Roads yesterday evening, but no communication had taken place with the Shore when the Post came away. It was reported, however, that by the bursting of a shell over the iminortafiti Frigate, three Seamen were killed, and as many wounded. To_marrow hope to he enabled to ,lay some fuither details be fore our Readers. • THE Ceylon Goveram.eut Ga:;eue, of the ;3th Jury, has been received,in town, - and brings some turtlter particUlars of the lamentable event which was some time ago communicated in the'DiSpatches of Governor NORTH. His Majesty's Frigate Hussar, of 3S guns, corn mandei by Capt. WILKINSON, has been lost on the French Coast. The account from Falmouth says, that the Captain and eleven of the crew'only were saved by a French Fishing Boat, and put on board the Ville de Paris ; while our Plymouth letter states, that the whole of the crew were fortunately saved.. •We hope the latter account - Will prove the true one. WE learn through an undoubted channel of commu nication, that in the Treaty signed at Madrid by JOSEPTA BONAPARTE., guaranteeing the. neutrality of Spain, besides the sum to be paid upon the face of the Treaty, there was one equal to a Million Ster ling skulated for, 'which went into the private pocket cif the Bo igAP ART F. Family. TFlts morning we received some Duch Papers to the . 9;h.. instant, which furnish the following ticies of Intelligence : Low 2R ELBE (HAMBURGH), JAN. 2+,--Letters from Petershurgh mention, that the Livonia;, E3thonian, anti Courland divisions, have received orders to hold themselves as :cadiness to march, It is even added, that enrittaas have already been entered into for the transporting the baggage of the Army. Nothing, however, is said of the destination of this Army. This movement', it seems therefore probable, is to be considered as merely a demon.- -s t rat ion.—liaerieni Ccurant, Jan. 31. • ANTWERP, JAN. 26.—8 y the last accOunts from Boutogne, received from authority that may be re„ lied on, we are assurealliat the Expedition against Engtaid will not sail for at least these two months, as before that time the preparations will not besuf ficiently complete for is to be undertaken with any hope of success. The reasons assigned for this, in tile Letter's we have received, are, that all the Arnied . Vessels which make a part of this Expedition, or are to accompany it, are not yet ready : that a certain number of Frigates,. Corvettes, Sloops, &T. are expelled, which are not yet fit for sea, and also that the provisions for the Flotilla are not yet . ready. SCHIEDAM, JAN. 31.—The Flotilla at Flushing will shortly be augmented with, 103 pressed vessels, which had been detained by the late frost from pro ceeding to their several places of destination. The Conimanders at Flushing, both by sea and land, exercise the soldiers and sailors daily, to qualify them for the important Expedition.- Vessels are still continually paising Gouda, from the North of this Republic, to join the Flotilla at Flushing. Thursday last a great number passed that City, intended to serve as Transports, and were condulled by two armed Brigs and two Gun boats. FEB. B.—Nothing is omitted at Flushing, to render the Flotilla there complete in all its parts, and to guard against every: probable emergency. The S.Jdiers are instrutted to row and to steer, and the Sailors co use the small arms. These exercises are daily praaksed. Private letters from Dunkirk say, thit orders are arrivsd, there to i linish all the Vessels on the stocks, destined for the Expedition, before the 6th of March, on' pain of fine. Admiral \Tr RHEA) L intends an alteration in some of the Gun_ boats : instead of a 6.pnuuder at the head, a 24-pounder/will be placed in the centre. , Last week about 4o English prisoners were escort , eci into Middelburg, being the crews of five Eng lish Prizes taken by the French Privateer of Capt. IILANKmAx, belonging to Dunkirk. This Priva teer has been remarkably successful ; for, besides these five Prizes, she sent in another to Veere, on !he 3oth ult. taken on th* > lagliali.COatt;' freighted svith porter, vinegar, mustard seed, &c. Poor STORY, the friend, and the enemy of all parties by turns, is at length safely caged at Cleves. The testimonies adduced in his favour, regarding his peaceable conduet there, will probably avail him but little, as his well known inclination to Peace has produced the misfortunes which h 'th himself"and his country have to mourn.--The New Merchant. The second realing of the Volunteer Bill, which st ood for this day, will, we understand, be post. poned till Friday or Monday, The PRINCE of WALES is perfectly recovered from•the efFecis of his late indispo c i - t i nn , an d a bl e t o gratify the feelings of filial reverence and affeftion. His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES has been pleaSed to appoint Mr: SHt.RIDAN A,- civer General of the Duchy of Cornwall, in the room of Lord ELIOT, deceased. There is no truth whatever in the statement in a Motning Paper of yesterday, of Mr:PITT having on Monday had an interrieW with .the CHANc Lott of the EXCHEQUER, at his huuse in Downing street. Carriages are setting down and taking up at the Palace gate continually from twelve to three; but by means ,of the activity of the Marshahnen, the greatest order prevails, nor has there been the least disturbance or confusion with the coachmen since the first day the inquiries commenced at the Palace. • Cteat ,apprehensions were yesterday entertained in the City, that one of our East India Ships had been captured by the Enemy, SOUTHWARK ELEcTioN,--In consequence of the Committee having, the 'preceding day, decided a plnst tLe ad , nissiol, of what were called the " farmed" votes, viz. those occupiers of small te. nements who, on the condition of a trifling advance of rent, had their taxes paid,by the landlord, Sir THOMAS TUR TON yesterday declined proceeding further in the PetitiOn. The Report of the Malden Committee was made on Friday. The Sitting Member was declared duly elected, and the Petition voted frivolous and vexatious. Mr. LINIIO, the merchant, who went to France some time ago, in order to recover a very consider able sum due, to him by the French Government, in which objeft, as we have already stated, he suc ceeded, returned to London on Monday night. He came from Rotterdam, • a,)kl was only forty.five hours on his passage. Mr. LINDA was treated with. much civility at 'earls. Ameri'i.an Papers to the Eth.ult. are received, hut bring no intelligence of importance. The Com missioners and Troops of the United States not hay. ing reached New Orleans on the 14.th . 0f December, that place stiil continued in the possession of the French.

THE public mind has been in great anxiety ever, since it was known that. the Candians, on the.l.3a ult. had, without any notice, broken the truce Which had hitherto been religionsly observed on both sides, and surprized the outposts of Giriegarnme and Gal' legiddere. We have since received the dreadful intelligene e of the massacre of the British Troops which form. ed the Garrison of Candy, upon the 26th ult. after they had evacuated that Fort, under a solemn Capitt'' lation that they should proceed with arms and al o ' munition, and without molestation, to Trincomalee and also, that the sick should be taken care of, and carried down to Colombo after their recovery. The details. of this horrible event have been r e ' laced by several natives, eyewitnesses of it, as a l r e by a Corporal of the 19th, w ho w as l e f t f or dead '- the massacre, but who found means to escape in•t l , lB night-time to Fort Macdowall, wh ere h e gave w e intelligence to Capt.
