IMPERIAL ~PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. TLIURSDAY, JUI.V. 26. SOME 'routine business .was transaaed ; after which, the Insolvent .Debtor3' Bill, the only . one before the House, was read a third time and passed, and a Message sent to acquaint "the Commons there with,. CORN BOUNTY BILL. Thi , Bill was brought up from the Commons by Mr. WesreArt and other Gentlemen, and, on the, Motion of Lord HAwicesnuar, forthwith read a first time, and ordered to be printed. At, . r a few words were interchanged between the Noble SECRETARY of STATE and. Earl STAN,. Hors, the Bill was ordered to be read a second time to.mortow, and their Lordships summoned thereon, Earl STANHOPE then obsetved, - that, as he undersmod the Noble Sr R OTAR Yof STATE to have expressed a wish, that some system were brouht forward for regulating and ameliorating the whole body of the Corn Laws, he had to acquaint their Lordships, that he was perfectly prepared, in that view s to enter into the general Subjeft even this Session'; and it was his intention to submit some propcsitions thereon to the consideration of the House to.morrow, shaped arid divided into three Resolu. tions ; these he should propose before the commence. mint of the Debate on the second reading of the Corn Lord. 11 AWKESBURY, in the case of to.mor. yaw, suggested the propriety of commencing the discussion earlier than the usual hour, which, at this very late veriod of the SesSion, would make no dif. terenee. Ile therefore proposed that their Lordships tlo tneet.a; four o'clock to.morrow, fot .the rtlrpuse i instead of (lye, Earl STANHOPE thought such an alteration svould make a material difference, and therefore ought not to be sull'ered. In the first instance, all the Peers who Were now absent would not he aware of it, and might therefore come flown to the House when possibly the Debate on a subjea of such great importance may be over ; it would also be rather in. decorous with retitled to such of their Lordships as vvcro absent. Five o'clock was the hour generally understood as lix(d for commencing discussions on public bthiness, and he thOught it should nut be al. toted ; hut were the alteration in the case of to. morrow persisted in, he could easily counterad its efEM, at least with resped to his propositlons,t by serving them as the Jmnd, instead of the first coarse. In another point of View it might be found necessary to rvler to certain Ads of Parliament relative to the Corn Trade, the reading of which, if moved, would aLurdattly euroume the hour. Upon the whole, he Nt• cold rccoolownd the Noble Secretary of State not in I,i , proposed arrangement, and to be 3a. ti: list) tvilh t, Lit his dinner an hour later. -cIiANCELLOR conceived it proper to S:iy 3t f:* wutds, Oil the occaslon.

LONDON, JULY 27, 1804. WE are happy to state, that Capt. 01,1vEst, of the Napo/Ilene, with the Bombs under his command, has made a second attack upon the French Squadron assembled at KIM, and has donethem considerable damage, the particulars of which we hope to be able to lay before our Readers to.morrow. THE Montezuma, which communicated the portant intelligence of our homeward.bound China Fleet having engaged and beat off LtNola' Squa. dron, left Batavia on the loth March, a few days before which, the French Ships came in. The China Fleet was to leave Canton early in Fe. bruaty, and LINOI3 was known to be cruizing off Palo Timon, at the mouth of the Straits of Malacca, the very point the return Ships usually make, on the 3d of February. Combining these with other circumstances, we are inclined to attach a strong degree of credit to the report of an Engagement having aCtually taken place, and if so, the return of the Enemy to Batavia, is decisive of the manner in which they have been bandied. We have the best authority fur stating, that so far from lariats' Squadron being ill fitted and manned, there never was a French Squadron in better condition, or better manned, than - the Marengo, and the three Frigates were, when they left the Cape of Good Hope. What will the gasconading LA TOUCHE TEKVILLE think of a few Mese manger: causing an eighty.gun Ship, and three fine Frigates, to run a way, not as he caused Lord NELSON'S Fleet to run away, but aClually to creep into the nearest Purt, to repair the eft:Cts of a severe drubbing I YISTRRDAY we received American Papers to the 24. th ult. Oar Readers will recoiled that we stated, exclusively, a few "days ago, that the Ameri: can Government, without waiting for any official representation on the part of Great Britain, had, in the most distind and unequivocal manner, disavowed to Mr. ME RU S" the unwirrantahle language held by Mr. Li vINGsTONat Paris, respeding the Correspon. deuce attributed to Mr. Dafice. Some of out Co. temporaries, whose reludance to believe any thing which is favourable to this Country is constant, aided to doubt cur information'; the American Papers, however, must remove all doubt upon the subject, for the American Governmentshave not only disavowed Mr. LIVINGt.T,ON'S language, hut, have Aually recalled him, It is supposed that General AghiSTRONC will be his Successor. There is great reason to suppose that the report of JEROME BONArARTH having C6C,I I Std to Fccrol, is untOunded. 1-le did intend to have taken his pas.. sage home in the Didv, Frigate, but the appeatetnee of the Cavtbrian and Borrow British Frigates in. duced him to delay his voyage. There arc some further detail; of the late dread. ful massacres in Si.

Some of die small Frencl, Pi/pi-inf . the 14111, yesterday reached town. It appears that DENANT and his wife, and tome others who were tried on the charge of being concerord in the late Conspiracy, and acquitted, have been sent to Ruchefort, for tl►e purpose of being transported to Cayenne ; ;And they were told, for their consolation, that they might think themselves very wall of, for under Runes_ ?JERRE they certainly would have been guillo. tined.

OFF BOULOGNE, JULY 2+.—Yesterday evening the weather being clear, and the sun shining upon the French Coast, we had a very good view of the Ene. my, and have clearly ascertained, that their loss in the gale of Friday and Saturday last has been very considerable., , We distinctly counted nine wrecks on the rocks between Porte! and Boulogne, and from the boldness of site Coast and the tremendous Sea when they went ashore, it is scarcely possible that any of the people on' board, five hundred in number at least, could have been saved—the en tire Coast between Boulogne and Porte! was co. vered with waggons and soldiers, clearing away the wrecks, and an immensity of small boats were engaged in searching the bottom for different articles. In the space of so yards, close tinder Porte!, there are a Gun.brig and four Loggers completely dashed to pieces. The few Brigs that succeeded in getting into Boulogne, seem to be much damaged in their masts and rigging ; indeed from the amazing surf, when getting in, it is impossible it could be other. wise. Altogether the loss of, the Enemy on Satur. day morning, has been the most severe they have met with since the commencement of the War, and it is highly probable that the soldiers will not, be so sanguine fur the Expedition after having had such convincing proofs of the danger attending it, and having seen out ships ,tide out gales of wind in per. fed aatety, when they have invariably suffered, both in wen and vessels. Captain HAMOND i 8 appointed to the command of the Lively Frigate, launched at Woolwich on Tuesday last, which is to be prepared for service immediately. A Ship of 74 guns, to be called the Piehr;our, is to be built in Messrs. Aomsts's Dock.yard, near Portsmouth. On the 23(1 inst. the Stag Rev Anne Cutter, o Rye, commanded by Mr. JOHN BRTTI, the Marc, fell in with, oil Beachy Head, two large French Loggers in pursuit of a collier, and gave chace to them, hut they escaped ; however, following their diredinn, he again got sight of them, just as they had taken possession of an English B:ig ; he soon came up with them, and after a few broadsides from the Cutter, the Loggers separated in different dim. Lions, leaving the Ves4el they had captured ; he pur. sued the leemost of the two, which he drove on shore at Dieppe. He then tacked and stood for the Eng. lish shore, in the direction where he thought the other Lugger arid Brig might he, and soon after dis. covered the Logger, having the Brig in tow, who perceiving the Cutter coming up, took his men out of the prize, and made sail for the French shore, to which he was chased by the' Cutter, until he got under the protedion of the Batteries of Treport.... The Cutter then rejoined her recapture, when she found her to be an Irish trader, with a cargo of pro. visions, worth 12,0001. The Master of the Brig, who was left on board by the Frenchmen, says, that they informed him (and which agrees with the ob servations of those on board the Cutter), that one of the Loggers had 16 guns, and too men, and the other to guns, and 70 men. The force of the Cutter was t a guns, arid 3o men. Saturday arrived in Leith Roads, His Majesty's Defence Ship Norfolk, Lieutenant SINcLA a, from the Downs ; and the Magdalene Armed Ship, Captain POPHAM, from Tonningen. The Mary, Capt. RENNAN, from Demerara and R trbadoes, is arrived at Liverpool she sailed from Demerara on the 9th, and from Barbadoes on the' sth ultirpo. Qn the toth His Majesty's Sloop of War &v. Capt . ClANcit, arrived at Barbadoes, with the outward-bound Convoy from Falmouth, crin,isting of about +6 sail, eleven of which passed about three dap before, and proceeded to the cast. Ward. The hired Armed Shih Mica, with the first May Mail from Falmouth, artived at Barbadoes on the Ith of June; she was attacked the preceding evettirg by a French Privateer of to guns and So men, Which she beat off. The Romitey Man of War, and the Convoy for England, were to sail about the aotlt of June. The Edquinson, of Newcastle, Car. RIJIIIRT BURN, seventeen months out, was de!ained in La Conception Bay, on the coast of Chili, February 12, 1804, information having been teceived there of a Spanish and English War. Wednesday morning a signal for r unishment was made on board the Flag.ship E/Sakador of ttz guns, Vice-Admiral Your4o, in - Hamoaxe„ when a Seaman of the Maltz, 8+ guns, fut pirati cally endeavouring to run away with is Priz e o n the Coast of Spain, and who 'was found guilty, and sentenced by a Court.Martiil to be flogged round thf fleet, received half his punishment, attended by the Boats of the Fleet, manned and armed. - He was then sent to the Royal Hospital, and when Itic baClc 14 cured he is to receive the 1141* of his ponislunent 6ENER.,4L ORDERS.
