mon charge in 'Parliamentpry debate. A.Vhen ( . --ahi Mr. ‘Vhitliread_ acro,s the table.) The 1.101. Gentleman hatl Said he should not have ap pl such,lMigliage to him, but the word was up _ plied to the proposition,. and not to the Member by whom it was ntacfe. Previously to proceeding fit rther lie must applV for instruct ion to tirt Chair. ** The SPEAKER.--11 the term were ;Applied per sonally,-it would be highly disorderly, but not, if spylied to any proposition. 74r. WHITBREAD being informed, that the term wrap patEitneat:iry, acquiesced in the opinion-of the chair. .The Sr kKBil understood the term to have been applied tea proposition. Mr. STEPHEN resttmed.. If a question of this nature were to be included under Parliamentary pi'cllege, it was a most indecent and indelicate use of such privilege. The Hon. tientlennin bad assumed as a fact, that this question had no longer any existence, and besides breaking noo the secrets of conjugal relations (hear, hear), he now thought proper to proceed still farther. The motion was a most wanton exercis,e.of curiosity, having for its object to drag the .Illustrious Per sons before the public, b y the discussion which it would necessarily provok e. What would any in dividual think, it his daughter or sister should be dragged in such a manner before the public, ani if • an abortive negociation should be mate the subject of debate The Chancellor of the Exeshe oaer had stated, that he was not authorized to make tiny communication, and here the subject ought to have rested. If ever any motion re quired a previous notice, this surely did, both from the importance of the subject and the deli cacy of the ease. It tended to plate Ilinisters in • . $1 7oost unfair predicament, by taking ti em . by sur prise ; and a,motion was the only way by which this could be effected. RonixsolY observed, that no previous inti- Mation had been R ivet) of the coutNe that was t o be pursued. A question . had been asked ; and then, t o there was no authori: - y.to answer it, a %notion bad been made on a subject of which Parliament - had no knowledge. No communica- . firm had been made to Parliament by the Prince Regent on the' subject of the marriage, nor was the House apprised. of any negociation on the subject. The question and motion were of ex treme delicacy, and were merely front the rumours of the streets. lie regretted the warmth that had been displayed ; but such a subject was the last that should be tarown hastily before the House. Sir M. RIOLEY, in explanation, stated, that it Would be contrary to the principles of the Con stitution, should the Princess Charlotte be obliged to leave the country. Mr. HoRNEtt - agreed with his . Hon.Friend (Mr. Whitbread) as to the importance of the subject, lioth co account of the Illustrious Characters al luded to, and the interest of the State.: but he totst also confess, that there was much solidity in the reasons assigned for treating it with more deliberation, and making it the subject of a dis tinct notice. He viewed the subject in the same light with his lion. Friend, -but thought the House should meet it with full' deliberation before they came to any decision. He thought the mo tion should stand as a notice, and had no doubt should concur in his views of the subject with his lion. Friend. Mr. WHIRBREAd said, that there was no Mem ber to whose advice he ' would listen with more pleasure and respect, than his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Honter). He must, however, say that if he wished tti take advice about the man that was most discreet, most temperate, and Most decent, for bringing forward a motion, so far from consulting the lion. and Learned Gentleman who sat near him (Mr. Stephen), he should avoid bias and tan out or his way. Ile begged leave to apo logise to the Hottge for his part in this discussion,. though the question of the Hon. Baronet had not been put in concert with him ; and the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite being mute as usual, he had used his Parliamentary privilege, which he conceived to be of the utmost import ance at all times. He was ready to withdraw his motion, and to wave all discussion now, as he had no wish to take the subject out of the hands of the Hon. Baronet, and should be ready to bring forward his m.ation on a future day. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. PRINCESS OF WALES. Mr. PONSONBY wished to know if the Hon. Gentleman opposite persisted in bringing forward the notion of which he had given notice for to- inorro;:. Mr. METHUEN was proceeding to make some remarks on the subject of the notice, when the Speak& requested be would state the day. Mr. Me - rnuF.N . then said he should bring for v.-ard his motion to-mOrtow. SLAVE TRADE. • _ Mr:- WILBERFOR (;;, after some remarks, which Were inaudible from the noise in the gallery, pro posed to postpone his motion on this subject to :9toaday next. After some observations on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Po4isortby, and Mr. Bathurst, respecting the day far discussing the Treaty, previously to which Mr. Wilberforce's motion must necessarily come on, Mr.. VVillygrforce fixed his motion for Monday next. Mr: EIonNER gave notice, that on Friday next he should move for' ail the Documents on the silltject of the Slave Trade that had been brought forward in the communications made to tho Al lied Powers. Mr. W. SMITH moved for a return of • all•the' ships brought under the Slave Pict into any Cq luny of Great Britain, spccifyin7 the -mullet, the size, the number of slaves, and the place of desti mition. 110 als moved for a similar return of ships brought into Great under the Act fur a bolishing the Slave•Trade.—Ordered. 3.7ORF,tuN TROOPS. _ _ . _ On the sill)k:et of Foreign Troops, Mr. WYNNE expressed a uish that it notification of the number shmild be made to the House. 114 e CHANCELLOR of the ExCHEQIJER Said a few words in reply, IliCh we were unable to collect. The Ei(e.hequer Bills Bill was' read a second time, itifit iol'itered to he committed to-tnorrow. SNRIT INTERI7OIII.4E BILL. T' , e House went into a Conti - Mace on the Spirit kattert"ourSit • _.- • - • .'Tie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, lie ► sliould shortly explain' the naturea the tcmpor try Measure he Beta to, propose. It kvissto allow for . as time the Importation of Spirits into either Conntry, from the other, without being subjected .• to \ any drawbas7k, or without paying such du - tic's •as hail been formerly imposed on itsixortation. • Air. W. Smiro trusted the ineashre 'tvould be - entirely :liififrent in its principle ;roll that of i'Blo I. and ISI I , which was as unjust toSvards Great Britain as the total sitspension of - the intercourse. would be towards Ireland.. Hs %visited to know whether spirits already made Ireland would be allowed to be brotig,lit into this country,: as such. permission would be a irtost todair advantage to i the Irish over the English Distiller, the.latter having none at present for exportation. Sir Jon:: Nnweoser contended, that thisadvan tage ought to be given Anider the faith of the Act of Union, of which, from 1806, up to the present moment, there had . been, in respect-of this inter course, - continsled violittions. He hoped a ques tion of this magnitutle would be amply and im partially discussed. • A desultory conversation ensued, in which Mr.. liusx3ssos: am! Mr. rerzGeisst , D spoke, at some • length. The latter Gentleman wa in favour of encouraging - the Irish Uistillcr :he 'explained that one intent of the Bill was to alter the rate and increase. the amount of charges on Irish Stills. • [About this tide the Emperor.of Rtissia and the Duchess ofOldenburgh, attended by another Lady, . entered the side gallery.] Sir J. Newroter replied. lie would not be sa.s tisfied with any thing short of the full terms of the Act of Union, respecting .the spirit inter course. Ile asserted, that Mr. Pitt had said, that the Act was so framed, as to give to Ireland • a material advantage in her distillation ; and, in short, that she might look therein for indemnity for any disadvantages which her other manufac tures might undergo, in consequence of the Union s lie hoped the 1-louse would act, on this measure, the saute as if the two Parliaments were inexistence, otherwise lie should regret the day that he had given his assent to that Treaty. Mr. W. Ssii'ru would say, - that the lion. Da- ' roves must have been totally misinformed. it was impossible that 'any such sentence could even haVe fallen front Mr. Pot's mouth. At all events, to seek for what Mr. Pitt said, or .was supposed to say, fourteen years ago, was a singular waysO . f treating the subject. He cer airily never avowed such an opinion in that House ; or, if he bad, the landed interest would have answered him from one end of it to the other. Mr. FITZGERALD, in explanation, said, that it was alvvays intended that Ireland, should derive certain solid advantages front the Union and that, if Mr. Pitt did give the opinion alluded to, it arose naturally from that Gentleman knowing the cheapness of the raw material in Ireland, and also, that capital was there almost exclusively devoted to the cultivation of the soil. The ad vantage intended to be given to Ireland was only what she had a right to expect. • Mr. Pumetr's spoke in behalf of the English Distillers, as did Mr. FINLAY fur those of Scot land. Mr.•Postsosass descanted at some length on the necessity of adhering to the full intent of the Act of Union. The CiIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER .declared, that no man could possess a greater respect or veneration for the Act 'of Union than hitnself. The measure before the llouse *as calculated to come nearer to the intent of that'Act than those which had been before proposed ; but if it ap peared objectionable, he would not wish to sup port it. The Bill was then brought up, read a first time, and ordered for a second reading to-morrow. !fire other Orders . of the Day were then disposed of.—Adjounsed. AMERICAN I'AMtS. BRITISH EXPEDITION AGAINST OSWEGO. NEW YORK, MAY 20.—The accounts of the at tack on this . very important depot are extremely vague and contradictory—the hirelings of the ad ministration endeavouring to misrepresent the consequences attending it, in order to screen the administration from the effects of their gross mi. glut \ of it.

They cap tured the fort, and made ,a few prisoners ; .our: troops, under Colonel' Mitchell, retreated to the Falls, .11 miles, where they made a stand, and were joined by a party of militia. Expresses were • sent in all directions, and nearly 2000 militia were on the march ; but they proceeded no far ther than Liverpool, where they learned that the British had re-embarked, after being 'in posses sion of Oswego for 15 hours, burning the bar racks and military store-houses, and taking away or destroying about 40,000 dollars' worth of pub lic property. Oar loss was 14 killed and 40 wounded. Several vessels, of which the Growler was one, with 10 or P 2 large guns, were scuttled and stink by our people, on the approach of the fleet. - A letter from Utica says, the principal part of our public property is at the Falls, where it is safe, the enemy baying re-embarked."
