Mr. C. BROOKE : . said, he tlicsta s he induced to st.tifcr this : Bill to pass without oppoOtion, if he.was given to tintlerStancl that a•qc n cial. Bill was to be proyesed-in the next Session, for making a Rerma vent 12gulation ut t ort_this subje&. To whio . l\4l-. LASC LL ES assenting, toe Bill paesed a Counni t ree of the whole House. Reportseceivt4 immediately, and the Bill ordered to be ingios'sed, and read a third time to-morrow. - Sir E. NEP EAN moved, ." That leave be given to bring in .a Bill" for Establishing And Maintaining an Additional Force in Ireland :for the Defence of the Rea 1m.",--Granted.• • The SECRETARY at WAR rose to move for leave to bring in, a.. Bin for enabling the Subjeas of Fo reign States to erilist as Soldiers iri His Majesty's Ser vice, and for enabling His:Majesty to grant Corn missions to SubjeCis .of. Foreign_States to serve,as Oflicers,.under certainirestrietions, &c. and to:in. demnify 11ipse,,who, have adyised His Majesty to takesoclv Soldiers, .or: grant. such 'Commissions as aforesaid. This applied to a number of Hanoverian Troops taken into His Majesty's service. The number at present. was only sooo' men, and it was in contemplation to limit the whole number to be thus employed to to,ooo. He .did not think it ne. cessary to enlarge on the propriety of this propose? Measure,. because the principle of it had been already * recognized by Parliament. This, after a few words from Mr. CREEDEY, and Mt. FRANC IS, was grant. ed. • . Mr: KIANA,MI), in a' speech of considerable length, objeaed - strongly to the 'Bill.. He said, that if the objeFlinns against the former Bill Lad any. L weight at air, they seemed to have double force in the present one, because the circumstances of the two Countries were different. He disapproveil highly of reducing the Militia of Scotland, which was so material for its defence, was a lawlnl ins t i_ anion, and had been greatly improved. The Mi litia of that Country was extremely popular, owing to the military spirit of the Scotch. There was no Country in the world in which the eldest sons of persons of property were so much inclined to a mili tary life;. the Militia of Scotland, therefore, with out any disparagement to England, was infinitely better officered. Indeed, the zeal and military spi rit of that Country had rendered the Militia of Scotland interior to no: other species of force, in any point of view. With respect" to the means of raising the men, it was evident that the same machinery could not be attetnpted in Scotland, as had been sug gested as .to England. The persons intended to supply the Parish Officers in this Bill, were the heritors of parishes, who might otherwise he deno minated Country Gentlemen, who, in order to raise men, must be under the necessity of appointing an Agent. Such an. Agent, therefore, Would be nothing better than a ,Licensed Crimp, and the Heritors, finding it impossible to raise the men, would he meeting for, no other purpose than to fix an assess ment upon themselies in lieu of them. It would oi:erate more as a Land Tax than even in England, add ,would therefore be a breach of the Union be.: twixt the two Kingdoms. Mr. .R. DUNDA3 spoke in, .favour of the Bill, and answered several of the - ohjeaions of the last, Speaker. The SECRETARY at WAR said, it was no breach of the Union, with Scotland, any more than what several other taxes were. It would be absurd to say that an Union of too years standing should pre. vent the proper means being adopted for the put pose of National Defence. It was certainly pre ferable to employ Heritors to assist in raising the men, than to think of injuring the religious feelings of the People, by converting their Ministers or Clergymen into Recruiting Officers. After a few words from Lord ARCH/BALD HA MILTON, in explanation, the Report was received, the Amendments were agreed to, and the Bill or dered to be engrossed, and read a third time to morrow. IRISH COMMISSIONERS. Mr, FosTEft moved, that leave he given to bring in a Bill for appointing, for a time to be limited, Commissioners to inquire into the Fees, Gratuities, Perquisites, and Emoldnents which are, or 'which gave been received in the several Offices . in Ireland ; drat they do_ examine into any Abuses, if any exisi in the same, and report the same, with their opi. pion thereon, and• also as to the future manner of conducting-the said Office, &c. , Sir J: ,trx NEW PORT thanked the Right Hon. Gen_ tietnan for bringing forward a measure so necessary and so important as the present, to spew the neces 'sity of which he stated 'certain faCts, from which he inferred- the existence of Abuses in some cf the Of. „flees which were the objeCtS'of this measure. This produced a conversation of considerable length, in which Mr. ORMSBY lamented that a pre mature discussion might make injurious and un. .founded impressions against certain persons, whose case had not been heard. Mr. MAUR ICE FITZGERALD justified the condua _of the Lords of the Treasury in Ireland, being con formable to the usual practice. • Mr. CORRY supported the condul of the Col leaors of Revenue, and maintained, that an erro ,neous idea had gtme forth, of the balance in their :hands being stated at 600,030 i. whereas, in truth, it. was ruder 50,c001, and gave notice that he ..should move for a Document which would establish this to be the fact. • Mr. FOSTER_ justified his former statement. . Mr. FRANCIS thought these tontraditioty state. -Ments were good reasons for the House agreeing to a. Committee of Inquiry, •-.- Mr.- M. FITZGERALD explained. - The CHANCELLOR of the ExcliEQuErt gave . no. t ice,. that. he .shouid,.on Friday next, in a Committee of-Supply, bring for Ward a measure re) itive to the Civil List, and also one on the subject of the Duty on Stamps, which had.been opened-at a former period of this Session. . Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON - preStllted a Peti_ ton from the Freemen and Guild of the City of Glasgow, against the Resolutions which have been farmed on the Report of .the Committee on the sub. jet} of the Price and Sale of Corn, alledging reasons why they think them injurious to tlie Trade, &c. and praying relief.--Ordered to be laid on. the 'fable. - Mr. MORR is presented a Petition on behalf of a Gentleman, as we understood him, of the name of Greese, stating, he, is now a Prisoner in the custody of the IM4rshal, &c. for Debt—stating his long Ser_ vices for his Country, &c.. and praying to be in.. .cluded in' the late Aa for the Relief of Debtors, &c. r --Ordered , to he laid on the Table. Mr. FosTEx brought up the-Irish Stamp Duty Bill ; read a first time, and ordered to be read a se cond iime to-morrow—,as was also the Exchequer Bills Bill. Mr. JOI-INSTONE moved, that there be laid before the 1-luibe a Particular of. the Account made up to the Lit of March, 1804., by which the East India Com_ pant-claim from Government the sum of 4,0 t B,oocl. r--Ordered., Mr. ROSE moved the Order of the Day for the House taking into further •consideration the Report on the Liverpool East India Prize Goods Bill. After a long conversation, in which various opi nions were' urged .as to tbc legality of permitting East India Prize Goods to be disposed of in Liver poo}i instead of being brought as usual to the gene ral -market in the City of London, the several amend me'nts, suggested 'in the. Report, were agreed to, and the Bid, With ille.Amcnetnents; were ordered to be engrossed, and to be read a third time to- morrow. SCOTCH ADDITIONAL FORCE. DILL. The SECRETARY AT WAR moved the Order of the Day for the consideration of the Reptirt of the Committee on the Bill for raising' an Additional Force in Scotland. Lcrd ARCH. HAMILTON 'said, that he could not ,well discharge his duty i .if he were to suffer this Bill to pass into a. Law_ for Scotland, when he felt Precisely the same, if not greater objeftions to it, as thosp lie had entertained' against the . simitai Bill for England, which had lately passed that HoUse, He neither approved of the. mode in which the men were to be raised, nor the manner in which they were to be diSposed of when raised. He conceived that the Bill, as to its immediate objet}, was com vletely nugatory, and as to its perrnaneocy, it was quite treonstituttonal, • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQC: said, •he ~ voulci acknowledge, that all the general measures 'Of the applied equally: to the present •The minner of Recruiting was somewhat dif ferent ; .for in Scotland, it was prinFipaily to et=.led' Oie 'exertions the Heritors, instead of Parish Ocers.

Ing. W E received last night the Moviteurs to the 13th inst. and the Dutch Papers to the i 7th. The Trials of the State Prisoners are at length brought to a conclusion: contrary, we believe, to general expcc. tation, MoREAV has been acquitted, at least of that part of the charge which affected his life; but he is senq,nced to two years imprisonment : we are, how ever, .7 to-)Pg!y inclined to think that it 14 ill prove an imprisonment fur life.' GEORGES, of coune, was found guilty, and has, `we have no doubt, been executed. AR NtAN9 Po LIGNAC is allot)* those who were sentenced to Death, but BONAPARTE has consented to pardon him. The French-Tapers con: tain very little other intelligence that is interest- Dispatches have been received from the Captain_ General of Martinique, giving an account of some skirmishes with the English, in which of course the French are represented as having all the advan tage. The new EMPEROR has published a kind of Aft of Grace, by which prisoners confined for small debts are discharged, and a pardon is granted to all deserters from the Army and Navy, who shall sur. render within a limited time. The Funds are at 57. 70. JUST as our Paper was putting to Press we re ceived Moniteurs to the i7th instant. MOR EAU is said to be dissatisfied with the Sentence of the Court, declaring him to have been concerned in the Conspiracy. Great joy has been manifested in some parts of the Army, on the Coast,. that he has not been sentenced to death. Several of the Prisoners have appealed to the Tribu. nal of Cassation. One of those condemned to death (de RtviERE) has been pardoned, in consequence of the intercession of his female relatives. LA Jo. LAIS has also been pardoned, at the intercession of his daughter ; and BOUVET at the request of his sister. THE great Majority with which the Additional Force Bill was carried last night in the House of Lords, in confirmation of the sentiments of the House of Commons, affords the most decisive proof of the probable efficacy of the measure, as well as of the Constitutional Principles upon. which it is founded. Party, we presume, will now sink abashed into silence, and no longer at . :. tempt to overthrow a Minister who has the con fidence of the People, and whose Plan for the Na tional Security has the full sanlion of Parliament. YARMOUTH, JUNE 2 . 5. - Atrived the Baltic, DARNELL, from Memel. Several Ships passed through the Roads this morn ing from the Baltic for London, under convoy of an Armed Ship.

The Airly Castle East India Ship, Capt. J. MACK tcrsti, came down from the River, and remains. A person who arrived the day before yesterday at Newhaven, in a neutral vessel from France, states, that an immense force is now assembled between Dieppe and Boulogne ; that every thing appeared to be, prepared for their embarkation, and that the Soldiery were in daily expeEtation of being em barked. Dispatches received at the Admiralty from Lord Wl.,:t e riim STUART, Commodore of the blockading Squadron' off Ostend, state, that the Enemy seemed disposed a few days since to make some movement, both in that Port and Flushing, but were prevented by the judicious disposition made of our Squadron. The Enemy's Flotilla at Ostend is stated to be so numerous, that it is scarcely possible to ascertain the number of vessels. Sunday being Midsummer Day, a Common Hall was held yesterday at Guildhall, for the purpose of eleding two Gentlemen to serve the office of Sheriff for the City of London and County of Middlesex, for the year ensuing, and to transact other annual business. Several Gentlemen were, as usual, put in nomination for Sheriff's, but . the greatest shew of hands appearing for THOMAS GRIFFITH, Esq. Citi zen and Clothworker, acid J A MES EPHRAIM LUKE NgALsorsr, Esq. Ciiizen and Draper; they were accordingly returned to the Court of Aldermen, who retired fora short time, and then declared them duly eleded.' There was no alteration in the other offices.

The Season closed last night at Covent Garden Theatre, with The Cabinet, and Valentine and Or son. At the end of the Opera Mr. KEMB LE came forward, and, in the name of the Proprietors and Performers, delivered a short but emphatic address of thanks to the Public, for the success which at_ attended the Season.

Mr. STURGES BOURNE moved the second reading of the Bill for preventing the Counterfeiting of Doi lars issued by the Bank of Engldnd, and of Tokens in Ireland. Mr. PRINSEP objefted to this Bill on various accounts, but particularly, that . it was an' imposi tion upon the Public for Government to allow the circulation of any coin, except that which was issued from His Majesty's Mint. Mr. DENT thought the Dollars a considerable be nefit and advantage to the Public, and was in favour of the Bill. Mr. STURGES BOURNE, in answer to what had fallen from Mr. PRINsEP, observed, that those medals (as the Hon. Gentleman styled them) or Coins, were issued not as from the Royal Mint, but upon the Credit of the Bank of England, as Silver Promissory Notes. It was not compulsory on the Public to accept them if they did . not chuse, ally more than to accept the Paper Notes of the Bank ; but as both were an accommodation to the Public, and would be equally accepted as such, the question was, whether it would not be politic to guard - the Public against fraud; by the forgery of Dollars as well as on "that of Bank Notes ? Sir Ill: BLOXIMM, a 3 a Banker, thought the issue of Bank 'Dollars of very great public conve nience, and supported the Bill, which was read the second time, and committed for 0-morrow. The Irish Linen Mapufaaure Bill was read the third tithe, passed, and ordered to the Lords. SLAVE TRADE. On the Motion of Mr. WILBERFORCE, the House proceeded to hear Counsel on the Slave Trade Abolition Bill. 'Mr. PIGOTT having been beard at length, Mr. PLUMER was ptoceeding, when Mr. FULLER expressed his wish to defer the further hearing of Counsel ; and hoped the House would indulge the Petitioners against the Bill, with liberty to adduce evidence at the Bar, as they could make out a new case. Mr. PITT objected to this, and said the House was already possessed of volumes of evidence . ; that Counsel had offered nothing new, and, therefore, to hear them further was unnecessary. He conclud ed by moving that the Bill be engrossed, upon which the House divided, Ayes 5 z Noes - 9 The Bill was ordered to Lc read the third time on Wednesday. Adjourned. MAILS. Dux. ARRIVED.
