a6led in perfea conformity with the powers with which they were invested. It must be obvious to every Gentleman, that there were many persons who were liable to be attacked, and who could not, • consistently with private nor public duty, lay be _ fore -a Court the fads necessary' to constitute their defence. • But this was not the only ground upon which the Committee recommended the Bill of In demnity ; they recommended it, because they were of opinio n , t h at t h e ' e f fi cacy o f the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus, depended upon the protedion given to persons in this situation, who certainly ought not to he exposed to danger, and left open to attack, without having the means of making their defence. It appeared then that the . recommenda tion of.the Committee was connected with, and did arise out of, the papers which had been .referred to them, because it was necessary to protea those per. son s who had afted under the Habeas Corpus Sus_ i Pension Bill, and who for the reasons he had stated, could not make their defence if they were attacked; and in the nextplace, on the efficacyof that measure in future depended the security which was to be given, after fair investigation, to the persons who had been concerned heretofore in carrying it into effect. As !odic insinuation which had been thrown. out, of a Joggle between His Majesty's late and present Mi nisters, he could not avoid saying that it was really unworthy of the Hon. Gentleman, though he disclaimed being a party to it.—[Here Mr. Tierney I 3 hoi his head.] He understood the Hon. Gentle n'4,4o.say that such an insinuation had been thrown O ut by wicked persons out of doors, but that for his "'n part he threw out no such imputation—But no such insinuation, even if it had come .from him, fir any other Member of the House, should de ter him from doing his duty '-• and no apprehension j Of bein g id ent ifi e d w i t h Hi s Majesty's late Mini. stets should prevent him from giving a conscientious vote for their protection, when they evidently de served it—There were. points upon which he dif fered from his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. P ITT), for he gloried in calling him by that "'me) and he was sure he always should ; but he was convinced that it was owing to the measures adopted by...shat Administration that the Country W as rescued, from the imminent danger with which it Was threatened ; it was to them that the Country r as indebted for the security it now enjoyed,— se Would not therefore be deterred, by any insi nuations of this kind, from supporting a measure !Or Protecting the Chtintry. He knew that in say !lig thus much, he was exposing himself to another u ninitation, viz.. that he should hereafter want that proteftion himself which he now Wished to extend to others. He certainly did not disclaim it,, but w hy ? Not. fromconsiderations that might present him, to the mi n d s o f some persons w h o h ear d 'urns but because he th oug h t t h at persons w h o served the Country had a r i g h t to i ts prote di on. Be felt no hesitation in saying he expected that Proteflion, and - should claim it, if he deserved it ; and he hoped and trusted, that if a Committee, con stituted as this had been, should make such A re. port of .their conduct, that from the justice of the House and the Country they would experience treatment. Mr. GREY, in explanation, said he belonged to the Committee to. which the Right 'Hon. Gentle- Mail- and others had-alluded; and though he did not concur in .opinion with the Committee, he cer tainly had not spolccm in disrespdtful terms - of it. The CIIAMCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was not the Hon. Gentleman to whom he ad alluded but to those with whom he was in the habit of act ing, 11,1)1/r.

AULEM 0115 DICE%I TALSUM ACDEAI LONDON, MAY 28, 180 i. THE Ilamburgh Mail due yesterday, arrived last night. It brings us, under the head of ham_ burgh, an account from Vienna, of Lord MI N'to having received intelligence on the loth inst. that Our Army had possessed themselves °fa Height which commanded Alexandria. The same account men tions, what ive were already aware of, that the GRAND VIZIER Was advancing to' join the British • Army. The intelligence of a French Squadron having been seen off LegLrn, is confirmed by • a Letter from that place of the ist inst. The article states an expc6tation of the arrival of Sir JOHN BoRLAsE WARREN. The intelligence from the three Capitals of the North, Petersburgh, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, is as favourable as the most sanguine could wish: Lord ST. Firt.i N's left Copenhagen on-the 17th inst. for Petersburgh. We have the pleasure to announce, that Mr. PAR ISH, late of Hamburgh, has received Letters from •Hamburgb,. officially from the Senate, by the Mail which arrived last night, stating the agreeable intelligence, that the Danish Garrison which had occupied that Town since the 29th of March, were to evacuate the City on the morning of the, 2311 of May, the day after the Mail came away. The. ROYAL FAMILY yesterday morning took an airing in .Richmond Gardens ; ' His MAiwri rode on horseback, attended by his Aide-de-Camps. After which the KING, accompanied by the PRINCE Of WALES, DUKES of YORK and CUMP R• LAND, and PRINCE ADoLpi-itis, reviewed the 7th Regiment of Light" Dragoons on Ashford Common. The Corps went through their manoeuvres with great credit, and performed the Sword exercise with wonderful celerity. Lord PAGET, after the Review, gave a grand en. tertainment to the Officers at the Bush Tavern at Staines : Their Royal Highnesses the PR INC ES were present during the dinner. The Staffordshire Band played a great number of new and favourite Airs. The Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the Ex_ CHEQUER after the Review paid a visit yesterday to the KING, and had an audience of His MA JESTY. On 'Tuesday the gth of June, TitTitEis MAI ESTIES will leave Kew for Weymouth. ON the same, day. they will dine at Mr. Ross's Scat at Cuirnells, where they will remain till the following Saturday, and will reach Weymouth on that evening. Colonel the Hon.

The 'Lotto MAYOR informed the Court, he had received a letter from Mr. Alderman LLIAMi, requesting tiermissiop to resign his g own as Aldcrnian ; which being read, the Court agreed to accept Of his resignation, and requested his Lordship to hold a Wardmote for the election of another Alderman. . It is-expeaed that - CH AR I. Es Ft.nw ER, Esq. who lately served the Office of Sheriff; will be the new Alderman. On Saturtray EDWARD GALE BOLVERO, Esq. nominated Sheriff, paid a tine of 4601. and 20 marks, ro be excused from.serving that Office : this is the third Gentleman who has fined. The accounts brought from Botany Bay by the Riffra/o;:represent that Colony us in a very flOu.. riShing state. It has been considered as an extraordinary Cumstance, that though the last Paris Papers come down to the z3d instant, they state nothing respea, ing the march of the French Army against Parisi.: gal, while the preceding Papers brought us accounts from Burgos of the zSth of April. There seems no reason to suppose that the Army has made any-hall, and we might have learnt hoW far it had advanced as late as the Bth or loth of this month. However this may be, we are convinced that if the Cabinet of the Thuilleries be not immoveably fixed ; in its resolution to invaie .fororgai, M. D'ARANIo will have had sufficient time to terminate successfully the NegOtiation he has undertaken, before any thing serious can,, have been undertaken by:the French and Spanish Arrnyagainst that Country., ,„ Among the Correspondence which was found- at the capture of the Danish Islands in the West Indies; there were letters from the Governor of Guadatoupe, describing. the :melancholy situation of that Colonyi which was in the. utmost watit of provisions :and cloathing, and desiring that means should be found foe supplyinrit. It is theretbre not improbable we may hear of some favourable news from that qUartet.

Charles Couhov was indited for that he being a servant of John Younger, did receive and take into his possession, by v,irtue of that employment, divers sums of money, amounting ,to as. Bd. in the name and on account of the said John Younger, and feloniously and fraudulently did embezzle; secrete, and make away with the same, against the statute, &c. The evidence it .the case was such as to induce the Jury to find a verditi of Guilty. The remaining cases were scarcely worthy of notice.

A fire broke out yesterday motning at eight o'clock, in Dorset -street, Portman-square. Not withstanding the almost immediate arrival of seve ral Engines, and every exertion to extinguish the flames, they continued to rage until near'eleven o'clock. The house in which the fire made its ap. pearance was left a mere shell... All the etrefts • of value, and most of the furniture, were saved. The Siege of Acre, like the Storming of Seringa patam, has firmly engaged the attention Of the Public ; and those who visit the Metropolis on busi. ness or pleasure, make their parties to the' yceum as a matter of course, in the round of interesting Exhibitions which at present offer thems'elves to public notice in the various parts of the Town. The Dolphin Packet, -, from Spain to the Havannah, is capturedby the Dart Privateer, and sent into Bristol, AM? HAMBURGH, 111.af THE Vienna Letters of thasq3th inst. contain the important intelligence that Lord M I NTO was in. formed on the zoth inst. by a Courier from Con- Itantinolle, that the English had made themselves masters of a height before Alexandria, which 'CM. mantis ,a part of that City. When the CObrier left -the environs of Alexandria, intelligence had reached the English Hea&quarters, that the GRAND Vt. zria was advancing to join the British Army. As Alexandria is not so strong on the land as ort the:sea-side, the English flatter themselves they will be able to take the place by storm. On the 9th instant, a Courier from -the British' Court arrived at Lord Mx wro's, and soon after continued on his way to Constantinople; he brings instruetiots to Lord ELGIN, for Admiral Karrtt, to abstain from all hostilities against the Russians and their Navigation.

HAGUE, MAY 19. TH g Committee appointed for a revision of -the Constitution, has this day given in its Report to the First Chamber. It is assured, that according to. the new 'Constitution, the Direetory of Fi.vi Members will' continue ; the two Chambers which compose the Legislative Body will likewise remain, but will consist of a much smaller number of mem bers than before. A Council of Elders will like-. wise be introduced to dust the . members of the Le. gislative Body: The members of the Departmental Administration will be endowed With considerable authority, and have a great resemblance to the late States of tha.Provinces. It is alio said that these States will be restored to the same footing as at the commencement Of the Revolution, instead of the eight Departmentawhich now form the territorial division: LULECK, 1 Ii v 2t. ON the r9th the English Fleet was still off Bo 7 Ithatlt. According to the accounts received herei the Russian Fleet sailed from Revel on the 3d,. for Cronstadt. Lately, was committed to the House of Correc tion, at Worcester, a woman who calls herself Le. cretia Monk, for obtaining money under false pre. tencel, This person is a fortune-teller, and was brought before the Magistrate by a young tartni% man, who had gone to her (as had several others in his neighbourhood) to know his destiny. She.told him he must, in the first place, go and buy her a pound of lead, and bring it to her; which accord ingly he did—melting part of this lead, she poured it into a bowl of water, and _pretending minutely and most sagaciously to examine the metal in the state in which it then was, she informed him t:ut a most beautiful and rich young lady was dying fat love of him; that she would disclose her passion in about four dayi ; that they were sure to .be :mar ried, and that she saw in the water no less than eleven fine children. All ethis the silly clowri believed, ,paid her her tee, as. 6d.. and departed in the highest spirits ; the four days, however, had no sooner elapsed, than they begun, to be depressed, and Measter Ntimps was so enraged at the, fraud that had been praised upon. him, that he was determined to be revenged by informing against her. This woman appeared with the ut.. most composure before the Magistrate, and when he asked how The dared to defraud in the manner she had done the poor and ignorant, persisted that she was no impostor, that she had,a foreknowledge of every event' in every person% life, and knew what would happen to them Why then,"'said the Magistrate, " how come you not to be aware that my warrant was out against you, f)r it has been issued this week ?" She coolly replied, "that of kite her head had been so much engaged with other people's fate and affairs, that she had not time to give a thought about her own." The numb,e of people that had been duped by this woman asto. nishing.
