PARLIJMEN7: HOUSE OF PEERS, FRIDAY, MAY 8: SCOTS APPEAL. THE HONOURABLE MILS. .HAMILTON FULLARTON, AND COL,. WILLIAM: FULLARTON, HER HUS BAND, V. SIR HEW DALRYMPLE, OF' NORTH II W rck, BART. • . Mr. GILL E s, second Counsel for the ReSpondent, was heard this day at considerable length. Their Lordships then defetred the. 'further hearing of the case till Monday. Mr. QUARME, Deputj , Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the Bar, and informed the' House, chat a Deputation from the Commons waited a conference with their Lordships, in the Painted Chamber : and accordingly the following Peers were nominated to manage the same, on the part of their Lordships, viz. the Earls of ROSL I N and GALLOWAY, Lords WALSINGHAM, AUCKLAND, DUNDAS, aid the Bishop of OXFORD. • On the return of the Deputation from the Pon. ference, the Earl of Rost I N read the Communica tion which he had received from the Comunims, to ether with certain Papers and Documents, relative to a more effectual mode for the promulgation of the Statutes, 'which, on..the Motion of his Lordship; were ordered to be printed. The various Bills before the House were forward_ . ed in their respelive'Stages. Lord AUCKLAND observed, that one of the Or ders was for the third reading of Campbell's Di vorce Bill, which stage . he 'should object to, taking place that evening. His .Lordship then adverted generally to the very aggravated circumstances of the case in question, 'which he thought be yond any other 'that . had. 'come before their in ter_ position and required the particular nter position of the House in. which 'view, should their LOrdships• agree to postpone the Bill, he. intended to move for theMitoiludion'of a Clause to prohibit the Adult as;`' .from intermarrying, in case opportunity should offer, with the Husband or h'er 'Sister, the person with whom _it was proved she.frequentiv had an adulter ousintercourse with, and upon wliose, account she was divorced. This being a. .particular case, and of a glaringly aggravatednature, he felt it strongly incumbent on him to come forward as he mentioned.. And accordingly he moved, 'that the Order for, the, third reading of the Bill be postPoned till Tuesday next. Which being ordered, .he gave notice, that he should propOse a Clause to the effet'l above stated. A great 'deal of private -Business was dispoSed : of, in the course of which,, after a Petition had been chily received, and an attested Copy of the Pioceed ings in the Ecclesiastical .Court, regularly laid be. fore theflouse, a Bill was brought in, and read a first time, to dissolve the Marriage of Corge Hayes, with Christian•his now Wife. The Order of the day being read, for di; corn. mitment cyf the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, the House accordingly a cool k i a Law tla6 , 4, 4 :4 WALSINGIIALI in the Chair. The .E;141 of !el DI R A rose; and addressed a riety of observations' to the Committee, in the' course of which he proposed it 'number of Amendments to' the Bill, pursuant to the notices 'he'llad repeatedly - gifen. He observed, that lie.eonsidered the prin ciple upon which Insolvent A\qs were grounded, one that arose from cOnsideiatiims of justice . as well as. necessity. He was perfealy aware of the respec... tive situations in which the Creditor and Debtor 'stood, and of the presumptiori . being against the lat. ter, who may in a certain point of view be torsi. dered as charged with a species of crime; and the evident tendeircy of the proposed measure was to enable him to make his defence before a comPe; tent Court. His LOtdship, in addressing the Coin. mittee, which was rather thinly attended,_ delivered himself fbr the most part in an. udder-tone of voice, which precluded us frOni hearing' some of his ob_ servations. He therilekPressedlitS opinion of casual Ads of insolvency,'%ia mention sri idea that was entertained of extending- the provisions of the,Bill to Ireland.—ThetrifFrtant considerations of the period of the operation'of• the Bill an the , extent of the sum, or• the amount- of debt to be' affe&ed by it, were specifically proposed by his . Lordship, and the blanks filled up accordingly ; the former was the first of March, and the second. was • limited to /poi. His Lordship stated the effea of a number ?of the Secondary or inferior regula tions, as the various forms to be complied with under the provisions ,of the AI,, and ,preyious to liberation . ; and the circumstances or. particular pradices . which should preclude indiViduals from . reaping any benefit from the Biil,—The various amendments pr0p3.,0(1 by the Notle Earl were then agreed, to by the Conimittee,' 'and the Chairman, as we could eolleCl,b.iog dire4edio report progress and ask leave to sit again, that proceeding, on, the House being resumed, took place, and the commit tee were ordered to sic again on Monday, to which day the House'adjourned. . .110 USE OF COMMONS. I'RIDAy, MAY 8. THE Hornsea, North Frodkrigharn, Staxton, and Molscroft Inclasure Bill; were presented, and read a first time: 'rig: Bill far settling Disputes between. Masters and Fervants was brouglif*A d re-committea. t (Pi tv - 11 General GitscoynrOg r a've dotice that on Mon, day next he shouhi move for leave to bring in ft Bill to amend the A teipetting the tanning of Bides and skins, . . Mr. I,u u BOCK presented' a. Petition from. certain' persons trading to the Levara, which was Ordeto to be laid on the Table. Mr, W. DUNDAS moved for sundry Accounts to. be laid before • the House, relative to the Anati.4l ItevenUe 4 and also the • Annuli . Charges for the 'Provinces of Bengal; - Rabat, and. Orissa, Of Benares and QuiAc, of Fort Sr. George, Bombay, for the three years up to the latest Advicos, ' .Mr. JONES enquired whether any of.those .Papers moved lbr, would give an: Account of -a t e_ Expellees of the Manilla Expedition, which he had been told cost Soc,oool. although it had got no farther than the of 'Bengal, - and two of the Vessels had been sunk. Mr. TIERNEY also spoke a few words. Mr. IV. DUND A S said, when the Acc i punts moved for were laid before - the House, he should move for their being printed, after which Gentle. men would have an opportunity of ex.-training them on the übjeet __referred to. _ _ On his . Motion being agreed to, a person from the:East lndia'llouse attended at the Bar anal pre settled thesi 'Pi&ounts, which were ordeied to be laid upon the')Tabie, and afterwards to be printed. Mr.:Au ia T moved, " That a Committee of that House be appointed -to manage t Conference *ith the Lords respecting the expiring. Statutes ;" which being agreed to, a number of Gentlemen were ,im. mediately. appointed of the Committee, who . with. drew to manage 'said Conference. The House waited during the interim, till Mr. YORKE (S6cretary at War) reported at the Bar, that the. Committee had been to hold a Confer. ence with a Committee of the House of Lords, aid had delivered to the Earl of Ronts, the Chairman, the Report of the. Committee to %Atom the, Inquiry respeUii)g the expiring Statutes, had been, referred. THE CE s ERCY's EXCLUSION BILL. . Mr. ADDINGTON moved the second reading of the Bill for - removing Doubts tespeeting the hility of persons in. Holy Orders .to sit in that House. Sir FRANCIS DURDETT said, he rose to express his '•deeided -disapprobation of the whole principle of the Bill. - It was not his intention to take the sense. of . the House upon it, in its present state, nor to oppose its ••going into a Committee ; but when in a Committee, he declared his deter mination to'go more at large into the subjeft.—For his own part, he did not believe that any modifica.: tion which it could then undergo, could reconcil e . hint to the principle of . it, whic h considered to be .unjust, for i ,beeould see no ground for going the leng* of atiglivaizing any set of men by disfran chisement-. ' The Clergy were not more likely io be influenced by the Crown than men of any other profession, nor could he see any reason why a man wearing'a black. coat was more dependant on the Crown than one wearing a red coat. The Bill went upon two grounds, each of which appeared to him to be exceptionable. The first ground was,. that which went-upon a superstitious kind of notion of some. indelible sanctity attached to the Clerical charaeter ; a notion which he could not but think savoured of Popery, and ought not to be held by any - member of the Protestant Chtirch. In the Preamble of - the Bill, also, no reasoo was assigned, only it was simply stated' to be an Aft in conse. quence of doubts having been entertained, but with out specifying any inconveniencies which.had arisen from the entertainment of such doubts. This Bill went, the length of taking away the rights' of a 'l;reat body of men ; he hoped therefore that it would not be-precipitated, but that time would be.af forded fOr the taller consideration of the measure. As an individual, he shbuid content himself with simply opposing-the second reading, reserving him self for a fuller declaration of his sentiments in a future stage of proceeding. Mr. 110 .1? la TOOKE said, he rose - for the first, and he . hoped for the only. time in his life, to differ from his . Honourable Friend. He rose to declare his concurrence in the Motion for the second read ing of the Bill. He confessed that under all the sir. cunistances of. the cage, he did not think the Right Honourable Gentleman by whom it was proposed had any other .alternative. In the situation in which that Honourable Gentleman was placed, one ounce of discretion was worth a whole ton Of rheto. ric. When justice was the objed, he thought it un fair to take any advantage; but when injustice was attempted, he thought that every advantage ought to be taken. He did . not then see a Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir W. SCOTT ) in his place, who, on a former mighr,•had advanced a very singular position respecting the • istdel ibi I i ty of the Priestly Charater, but • he hoped ' , gam of that Gentleman's Friends would inform chuff that he might come down ready prepaied andAvell provided in a future stage of the . Bill, to mike good that statement, for he hoped to Prove that the Right Honourable Gentle Man was in, capable of maintaining his position, either from - Reason, Law, Protestantism, the Bible, or from 'nutter of faa. Such a statement of the situation of the Priesthoodhad been brought forward as-one prindipal reason for entertaining this Bill. To go thoroughly into this point, the Committee •of that HOuse would he conipelled to be converted into an Assembly of Divines. He would not' now stop to inquire how far it 'was proper to introduce this Bill in the first instance, or whether it was proper to in. traduce it in the present fen - tale faihion of nakedness, ii? Which it appeared. If it had been proved that any inconvenience- had arisen front . the occasional admission of • Clerical men within these walls, he should have been the first to support it, but no such inconvenience had been stated ; bat if any existed, he hoped they would. If. any such inconvenience could have been stated, from his sitting in that House, he would have been ready to have got up and quitted it. The World, he apprehended, would consider thiS as a personal measure against himself. a cry. of No, No.). He, himself, did not mean to say that it was personally intended against hint," because he .was ready to believe the solemn disa voWal of the Right Honourable Gentleman ; he spoke not of what he considered it, but of what the Publie - W6L s tlcl be sure to consider it. He would tell chelioitse tlie . ie l e . n why there had been few Parlia ments wiOlooi pi: sons in Holy Orders sitting in til? them, .beeante,nconvenience had arisen from the Occasional introduction of such persons, nor had any alarm been excited' until- now from their sitting in that blouse. But it •was said, such things might happen sub sileuti.2. But he would ask, how came it - -to pass, when a doubt had been started upon this subject„ . about-sixteen years ago, and a Committee . of investigation had been-appointed in Mr. Rush_ worth's case, that they had decided in his favour ? How came it to pass, that nothing of this sort had been done, and that such inconveniencies had not bnriapprehended tilt the resent time ? How camp it to pass, that the Clergy lr - aki not risen in a mass, and rushed into the House, to take their share of the good things which were supposed to be found in it ? But not a word was spoken till he chewed his lace, nor a Bill of this sort proposed till now. He hoped that something more than a mere decent time would, be allowed for going into the Committee, when he assured the House he should not then be round to propose any sort of alteration that went to opposes any reasonable desire to prevent the Clergy`from sitting in that House. , „ Mr. HARCOURT' spoke briefly in-favour of the principle of the Bill. - - The Bill was theri read a sccondlinikt. ,- )..1 f. Mr. ADDINGTON said he meant tO)hitve pro posed Monday next for its commitment, but to meet the ‘vUes and convenience of Gentlemen who were desirous of a longer delay, he would now move, • " That the Bill be committed on Wednesday next," • which was agreed to. A . Message from the Lords stated, that their'. Lordships had agreed to the Rice Importation Bill. Mr, AB aor brought up the Report of the Corn- mitt= pn the Fourth Article of Unions, relative ; to the number of Members holding places of trust - and emolument in Ireland, sitting in that House, which was ordered,to.lie on the table. Mr. Cblter presented several Accounts contain.: ing : retbrus. from the Treasury in Ireland, which._ Wcre_ordeio to be laid on the BANK NOTE FORGERY BILL. On the first reading of the Bill to prevent the For. gery of Bank Notes, • . Mr. DENT said, he co nsidered' his as amomen tous measure. He trusted the Bill wos.lia he looked into narrowly, and that Country Bank:Notes would not be put in the same circumstances with - Notes of the Bank of England. Sir . W.ELFORD said, this Bill only went foy the better prevention of the crime of Forgery, and „ the protedionof private property. Mr. ELLISON concurred in the same sentiment, This Bill added nothing to the credit -olithe Coun try Banks, nor would it injure thelianic,9l.k.ngland. Mr. -CORRY apliroved of the r j}i• as lying for its objed to secure the Public from the injurious con sequences of Forgery. In Ireland, the number oC Forgeries upon the Private Banks, beggared all cal., culatton, which caused a great loss to the Public, as well as to the Proprietors of the Private*Banks. Mr. JONES said, thave,uch was the overflow of 'apex Currency as to cause a great scarcity of Coin; He was credibly informed that the Bullion Trade was' at this - moment by . tar !he most ad vantageouiv that a person could follow ; . and he was positively informed that in more pktces than one, Advertise. ments had appeared in windows, stating, that a Gni. nea was to he seen as a curiosity. Mr. DENT explained. The &It was then read a first time, and ordered., to be read a second time on Wednesday next, and to be printed.

TRUSCOTT, of the Navy a ` ' arrived at the Admitalty, with the Official Dispatches' .of Sir RALPH ABERCROMRY and Lord KEITH; reik lative to the landing in Egypt, and the Battle of the 13th of March. The Dispatches are dated on the t Bth of that month, 'so that they do - not include'the Adion of the zist. We understand . that the 5e... - counts are to the full as satisfactory as we have had reason to suppose them to be. These Dispatches will be published in the course of this Evening. The Officer who arrived, came home in the Brig which we had an account of yesterday, as being of Gibraltar on the t7th ult. and which was seen by The Joseph Cutter, which reached England a few hours before her. . The joJeph on her passage fell in, on the 2 scl ult. with four Spanish Ships of the Line ffolll Brest, and on the following day with five other Spani4h, Ships of War, The Mutine Sloop of War arrived at MiNorca on the 7th ult. She had on the 4th_ ult. fallen in with GANTHEAVME's squadron, between Sardinia and Malta, steering for Toulon. The Squadron under Sir Jois; BORLASE WARREN was • in Chace of the French Fleet, of which it was in sight, and was gaining fast on it. The French Force consisted of Seven Sail of tha Line, two of which . had lost their foremasts. tl The- British Was in number the tame. Our hc,114 ars-Wopgly excited by this intelligence, that we niarsoali s havc' to communicate to thePu . tilic anothc‘r Naval Vidory, We learn by ' the French Brig Privateer tic l u _ piter, captured on the Ist inst. off Bourdeaux, and brought into Plyrnouth, that an Embargo had been , laid on all the Privateers in t h e, Ports of France.. The Chief Consul is probably desirous, by this measure, of giving some appearance of 'consistency to the threats he has thrown out against this Colin... try.
