port the motions,` which Ise hoped s stralt not be voted against by any. person .avliO 44 ever con tended that controul over the notarial pxpendi- Cute, and reduction in it, were 4iitasary to the well-being of the State. , Mr. \W E LLESLEY POLE said, that if he had, not listened to the firstpart of this debate, and beard the motion of the Right - Hon. Gentleman, he should not have been able to foini any thing like cnvrect guess at the question before the House, flora the speech of the lion. Gentleman who spoke last, on the other side. He never should have supposed that they were discussing a motion brought forward, in an extraordinary Manner, for the production of the Civil LiA Accounts; he should have thought that the House was engaged in considering some motion respecting the ap pointment of Mr. Canning to be Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon—or, relating to the accep t*ance of office of some of that Right Hon. Gen tleman's friends ; for the whole of his speech, ex cept ,a very few words, at, the conclusion, was confined to those points. In the course of his speech, the Hon. gentleman was pleaSed to take notice of him (Mr. Pole), and of his acceptance of office, and to describe him of one oC the eon hexioni of that Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Can an hopour to which he did' not lay claim. The Hon. Gentleman said, lie could also see an _other, reason why he . (Mr. Pole) had come into office, _but that other reason the Hoo. Gentleman was not kind enough to state to the House. .The Hon-Gentleman had described himself as a party man, - and always soppOrting his party, when it acted_ upon the principles which, he,professed. He - gave the Finn. Gentleman credit for the principles' which he. avowed ; he had seen him for many years in that ,House acting as a party man with great ability, sometimes, with great' service to the public, and sometimes, in his opinion, with a very different effect. He remembered also, that when the Hon. Gentleman's friends came into of fice, so nice. were his notions of adherence to principle, that he could not even then support the King's Government, but opposed them—(Mr. %V. said, Hear, hear !) He was pot finding fault with the Hon. Gentleman's conduct ; he was stking these things to his honour. With respect to his own acceptance of office, be begged to say, that he never had any connexion with that Hon. Gen tleman, or any of his friends, to enable him or them to state the reason why he had quitted office, or why he had now accepted it. The whole of his political conduct was before the House and the Public; if the flea. Gentleman had . any charge to make against it, or any observations to to make on his acceptance of office, let him bring forward his statement, and he Was - ready to answer it. He had uniformly acted upon one principle ; which was, to serve the public honestly and faith fully in stations of confidence, whenever, lie could do it consistently with those political principles which he had always avowed. lie was- neither ashamed nor afraid to have the whole of his poli tical life investigated in the closest manner. With respect to the question before the HOuse, be could not avoid saying, that never in hiS life haul he .seen a motion so unusual=so unprecedented in its nature—so slightly supported. Not one of the Gentlemen on the other side of- the House had urged one satisfactory reason, to ibew the House wisp it should go into the proposed investigation now, rather than at the period when it must be regularly brought 'forward, viz, in April next. For what good purpose was the House:to go into the investigation now ? One Of the reasons as signed was, that Mr. Canning's 'appointment might be investigated; but had it not been discussed % • If the papers called for wens tea times before the House, that subject could not be snore discussed. if Gentlemen thought otherwise, why did they not give notice of a motion upon that subject.— Another object, which was mentioned', was the rumours in circulation, of the intention to build .4 Palace. Upon that point, his Right Hon. Friend bad giVen a distinct answer ; hut, would the pro - duction of the accounts called for give any further . infOrmation on that head ? Certainly not. An other object assigned was, the Duke of Welling ton's house at Paris ; bat was there _any reason why Gentlemen might not bring forward any noa • tion upon that subject which they thought pro per ? Every one of these points had been fidly canvassed and discussed ; and therefore, even upon the groundsadvanced by the I-lon Gentle men alietuselves, there-was no reason for assent ing to this .Motion. Mr. Potasosnrt felt no doubt that the High • ' Honourable Gentleman, who had jusesat dowus was ready at all banes to take upon himself the responsibility of office: on a former night he bad avowed himself ready to sustain the responsibility of all parts of the Administration.—(No, no, from Mr. Pole.), It waadifficult, however, to recon . cite this declaration with the, fact—he was ever anieions to serve his cosintry " in high situations, and with a, proportionate share of responsibility," and yet what was he now ! Master of the Mint ! A very high situation, and a very heavy respoit: sibility. The Right Hon. Gentleman had asked, • of what use it would be to producethe papers now , He would tell hint of what use it would be, it would prove to demonstratiou that the Civil List was riot in a state to bear new expences. Nothing Ivas so much the duty of the House, in the pre sent.circumstanees of the country, as retrench a omit ; anal if a retrenchment in expence were ef fected now in what concerned the Crown, they %vault! endear themselreS to the Country ; and it st-as necessary to prove, that there was no subject - which demanded -attention, to which their en-• sp a r k s would not be directed. ' Mr. 13.-LTHIJUST contended it was not necessary: to produce the accounts before the t ta aa oaao kiy law, the sth of April. Ministers did not refuse information but they stood op for the period which Parliament had decided was that at which ea (m oi l s l a h e given. He thought at no part of ' the Sesaloo wai a toter attendance to-be expected than at the time when the accounts would be rorthcautiog. The law, as it at present stood,. in Td is opinioo„ gave the public security,•that the ac counts of the Civil List would be investigated whenever it was necessary. Mr. BAN es thought the timeat which the' Keeourits were usually given, was, too late for them to conic to any practical resolution on the subject in the saute Session, more especially .if a Coat ttittee were to he appointad to Lavk late it, Lie Wished for nbthing but to tiavethe suljeet brought fairly before the House.: Mr. TIEANgY was ready to withdraw the Mo tion, if the Right. Hon. Gentleman would engage to give the Howe information on the subject soon after next week ; but it Would be better at once to alter the law so, that the accounts should be gien made up to the sth of January, instead of_ up to the sth of April. This done,, the pa.,27- pers would be laid before the House by the mid dle of February, and in March or April they might be acted upon. Mr. LONG saw .no reason for alteringthe exisir Mr. T/ERNEY again urged the advantages of such a measure, as had recommended.. The .CEANcHt.cou , of the EXCHEQUER declined Pledging himstqf to any thing.; but thought the suggestion of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Banks) deserving of attention. Mr. TIERNEY said he would withdraw - his. mo tion, without, any - pledge for a few .days:; but he should renew it early next e e unless it .was agreed a Bill : should be brought in to alter the law with respect to the time at which the Account would be produced. Mr. BATKES, after a few further observations, was understood to offer to bring in a Bill, and the Motion was withdrawn.—Adjourned.

SM.:IM QU Is ut cERZ F,l A1.71)17,,t r ? LONDON, TP.EDNESD.II', NOPEMBERIC, ISM The Oielm-c Mercury of the 4th ult. which reach ed town this day, confirms the accotsut contained in THE SUN of the 2d inst. of a severe action which took. place on the 17th of September at Fort Erie. ,A battery had been erected, from which the Americans expected great annoyance ; and therefore, favoured by the weather, they made a sortie from the Fort, in, great force, and not withstanding the most spirited resistance on the part of the British, succeeded in obtaining possession of the Battery. The British, how -ever, returned to the charge,• and recovered it. The Americans having, in a great degree, accomplished their. purpose, retired into the Fort. The Enemy state that our loss (origi nally said to be 400) in killed and wounded, which took place chiefly on the right of our posi tion, amounted to. above 800,, and they boast of having nearly destroyed theßegiMent of Watte ville. Our own accounts, We understand, admit that the loss on both sides was considerable,and ascribe the success of the Enemy chiefly to the overwhelm ing force which they brought to the attack. Gen- BAtsles, in his General Orders recounting this af fair, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the British, declaring that they did .every thing that could be expected in point of spirit and abi lity, but that the great superiority of the Enemy temfered it impossible for the result to have been otherwise. Captain GORDON arrived in town this day vvitit Dispeches from General PuEvosT, respecting the unfortnnate business on Lake - Champlain. The Captain did not bring any account of, the affair at Fort Erie, above-Mentioned. No advices of this business had reached Government tins day. Since writink the above, the following has reached our Office :--- Yesterday arrived at Portsmouth tiie Antelope, of 50 pins, Captain BUTCHER, with forty trans ports, front Halifax. In the Antelope came home the Secretary of General VREVOST, with dispatches, dated Oct. 9. They state, that on finding our flotilla subdued on Lake Champlain, which misfortune defeated the design of General Yuzcosw in advancing to Platt3bar,gh, teat ()Meer retired with the British ./ army in good order, without losing,either cannon or men. The accounts circulated by the Ameri can Papers on this subject are thus.proved to he ()Toss falsehoods. After Gen. Drx:Cktorin retired from Fort Erie, the American army, in great force, followed him, ,and made a smart attack, which at first produced some impression, but the British forces ultimately repulsed them, and maintained their ground. We have taken two very large American schoon ers on Lake Huron, a success of high importance since it gites us the command on those waters. Sir JAMES YEll has launched his. large ship of 100 gun's' on Lake Ontario, and vris out eercising his men. Upon the whole the accounts are highly satis faCtory. The enemy has made no progress. We have seen a letter from Quebec, dated on the 10th of October, but, being of a private na ture, it contains no nots. We insert the followineas it has reached us— there are no dates given to enable us to appre ciate the value of the rumour (Fro . m the Exeter Western Luminary). " EXETER, Nov - . 15:-LWe have been favoured with the following, by a very respectable friend at. Dartmouth, and give as we receive it A Captain DUNMAN, whom we known here, has just landed, and informed us, that on the 27th ult. his vessel was near run clown off Lisbon by the Granieni frigate r Captain WISE, who inforthed him, that a - few' days previous he bad boarded a neutral vessel from America, Which informed him, that the Macedonian and United States frigates had been destroyed by us in New London ;. that tile American President MADISON had absconded, no one knows where ; and that the Atherican Ca binet was in the utmost cOnfusioli and alarm.— Two very rich Atueriedvships had got safe into Lisbon." • The style of the Parliamentary Debates, which have for these few• days excluded other matters from our eoltruns, requires very serious considera tion. In future it is our intention to curtail these -discussions as much as possible, and in the Mean time, till we can offer our sentiments more at large on this painful subject, we are sure the Public will join with us in lamenting the coarse and personal tone which _has been introduced into these De bates,; which are -certainly not in unison with the manners of Gentlemen, or with• the dignity of the British Senate. • Sunday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo-. reign Office at two o'clOCk, which sat till past four. : On Monday the' Duke of YORK. came to town from Oatlands. Yesterday hii Royal . Highness held his first Levee for the season at his - Office in the Horse Guards, as Commander in Chief, which was numerously attende(L The Gazette of last night - contains the distribu tion of the 26 offending Officeri of the Tenth : Hussars, into other regiments 'of cavalry, pur suant to their late.sentence." . The SOVEREIGN PRINCE of the NETHERLANDS opened the Session of the States General Of Hol land, on the 7th instant: nis Speech on the oct easion (which contains nothing of important velty) want of room obliges us to postpone tilt to-morrow. • Reports - , which we should be glad . to hear con firmed, reached town yesterday, stating, that Mr; INlArnsoNT's misconduct, in having left .the capital of the United S . tates, open to, a successful attack; and not even taking due precautionS for the re- moval of the national archives, had-been made the ground of an impeachment. By the arrival of his Majesty's frigate Nerehg at Portsmouth froM the river Plate, we learn that soon after the" capitulation of Monte Video was agreed to by the GOVernor VIGODET, a difference of opinion arose between the contracting parties, and the Governor hesitated to fulfil the conditions of the treaty. Meanwhile an Officer; serving un der the Captain .General, who had separated him self, with many followers, from Buenos Ayres' troops, was detected conveying a letter to Vico enconraging the latter to resist the giving up of the fortress, and - promising that his Captain- General would come to his succour with his forces, to the amount oflsoo men. Upon the discovery of this affair, ALVEAR, the Buenos Ayres General, resolved on an `immediate attack of the fortress, • and succeeded, sword in hand, in taking VIGODET, the - Governor, and - the whole of the garrison, pri soners... ALVEAR; upon this success, anticipating the arrival of. the Captain-General and his party, went out to meet them, and after a short action put the whole to the rout. The garrison of Monte Video then volunteered to join the cause of Buenos Ayres, and the -Governor; VIGODET, was sent prisoner on board a ship bound to Bue. 'nos Ayres. Private accounts from Paris state the arrest of General DUFOUR and a large party of persons as sembled with him at a coffee-house. No notice of the event, indeed, appears in the French Pa pers..; nor perhaps was it absolutely necessary that the Government should put the accomplices of these criminals on their guard, by a prema ture disclosure of the fact, or of its causes. in the French Chamber of Deputies, on the I Ith inst. the project of the law for the exporta tion of wool was carried by a large majority. On the 12th, the Court of Session met for the dispatch of business. Ail the,Judges of each di vision were present. The celebrated Mrs. CLARKE, it seems, is gone abroad.
