A few Private Bills were brought up from the Cernmons by. different Gentlemen, and severally read a fir:, inle. • - The turrher consideration of HAYES'S and CREWE'S Divorce Bills, Were postponed till Monday. next, SOme rotttine and private, business was then dis posed of, after which the House adjourned till so morrow, when their Lorj-ihips stand summoned up on the second reading of the indemnity Bill. ufficient came why he shobld be•oteepted from the, benefit of this Clause. The grounds on which the other: rec,_liad been excepted hp did not recollect," but he was Convinced that they were good and suf ficient, and he thought it but a decent mark of re.. sped to that Parliameng which had enquired into the circumstances, not to depart from its decision when nothing is opposed to it but a wish of the Hon. Gentleman to have evidence laid before him self. Mr. Ti cRNEy spoke in reply, Me. MARTIN (of Galway.) observed, that the Right !ion. Gentleman, Mr, co R RY, was mistaken in supposing that, any of the four persons, excepted by name in the Bill from, its benefits, is the person who committed the fraud 'to which he had alluded. The name of that person was different from any of these specified in the Clause. He was of -opinion that the Clause ought to be expunged, because, though circumstances laid before the Irish Parlia_ ment might justify it in excepting them from the Insolvent Debtors' Bill,, passed by it, no circum_ stances are now laid before the House to justify it in excepting them, from the benefits of this Bill. It was the duty of those who wished such an excep tion to be made, to lay before the House the grounds on which it ought to be made, and it was not requi site that these men should state grounds to the House why they should not be excepted. The SPEAKER suggested that the best method of proceeding on this subjeft would be to adjourn the farther consideration of the reading of the Bill till it could be, regularly', knoWn by the House on what ground's the House of 'Lords have passed this clause. This suggestion was coincided in, and the further consideration of , the third reading' of the Bill de ferred till to-morrow.

JONES took occasion to observe, that he underatood that a great nut aber .of the ''fradesmen and Shopkeepers in London and 'Weitminster would be very 'much injured by the lateneSs of the period to which the influence Of this Bills extends, and that many of those indebted to them, who are able to took ativantage of the expectation of this Bill being paseed, to .throw themselvds -into con finement, in order to evade payment altogether. :With every wish, therefore, fot the telief of the unfortunate Debra,- he feeling .that the•interests,of the bir creditor ought as tnneltto he' considered as the relief of the Debtor, meant to move an Amend- 1 ment, to substitute in the Bill instead• of the. first of-March, the frost of jainiary last, and if this al teration should he made in the Bill, it must also be made in this Clause. He then in:wed accordingly.

WE have lately entered very much at large - into the 'subjea of the Papers which have appeared - in the 211Dniteur, and which, upon a most important point, speak either the real or the pretended senti ments of the Government of France.—Either that Government finds it necessary to conciliate the feelings of its People by a public avowal merely of a desire to enter into terms of amity With this Coun try—or that objest is, not the display of such SCII - for any collateral purpose, but ,a sincere de sire for Peace.—We wish we could say with confi dence that we could put the latter interpretation upon the statements conveyed in these Papers ; but without ailiaing to know all that has passed on the subjea of the intercourse which has taken place between this Country anti France, there has been a delay (to say no more) in bringing the question to a point, hardly consistent with the sentiments 'to which we have alluded, and which delay, we know, cannot be imputed to His MAJEsTY's Ministers. The favourable disposition to Peace which is avowed by France, is signified to a rise' from the moderati.lrr which has been shewn by Hls MAJ Esry's present Ministers, compared anti contrasted with the disposition of those who pre ceded them. - We believe neither the one nor tip other have ever required Terms from the Enemy, incompatible with the relative situation of the two Countries.—Compliments are always suspicious, when they proceed from the Enemy ; and the Chief Consul mistakes the present Ministers very much, if he supposes they will weigh at all in the scale, when. they come to treat for the Terms of Peace. Perhaps the , improved situation . of this Country within these few months, and the embarrassments of France, may' have led to these declarations. The Vitiory at Copenhagen, the favourable state of our affairs in the North, and the channels:of Commerce re-opened—the progress of our arms in Egypt, and the' prosped of driving the French from that Coun. try—the appearande of a plentiful harvest, and all ideas of the turbulenceand commotion which were eneCted to arise froM the Scarcity of Grain vanished, these are circumstances Which may have changed in some degree. the views which the Chief Consul had with respect to this Country.—To this we may perhaps add the difficulties which he has experienced in u.tjuscin the stipulations of the Treaty of Luneville, and the probability of a Coalition arising, if not in our favour and conneaed with us, at least hostile to the projefis of the 'Chief Consul.—li we consider all these things;and the difficulties for France which muse spring out of some . of them; we shall not be .surprized at the formal declaration of a desire for Peace, and we shall even suffer - ourselves to hope that the Chief Consul aay really entertain that desire with more sincerity.thai he has hitherto manifested. When we speak of the favourable changes which have recently taken place in the state of our Affairs, .we feel that much indeed is due upon that point to His Majesty's late Ministers. -- TREY the foundation of those recent Successes at which we so much rejoice. —Tx Iry prepared the sleet for Copen baser, and the Army for . Egypt.—lt is just that those who sow should reap, and we know the dis. positions of His Majesty's present Ministers too well to suppose them capable of arrogating to them selves the merits of others. They will prove to the world by their etindua, that they dqnot stand in need of borrowing fame from any men-1-they scorn the miserable palaver of some who pretend.to be their friends, and who,think that they never can praise them sufficiently without detraeting from the me rits of their Predecessors ; and they will equally despise this wretched species of adulation, whether it come from the pen of a time_ serving Journalist, or from the mouth of BONAPARTE. They have, like their Predes:essors, the real interests of the Country at heart, and they will (as the late Mini .sters would have done) embrace the first moment , for making Peace, whenever they can.effeet it con .sistently with tke, Honour and the Security of the Councry. WE yesterday stopped the Press to announce the receipt of Paris Papers to the !6th instant, one day Liter than those which had before come to i - tand. :They contain nothing of importance, with the exception of one article from Pau, which, 'if we could give credit to it, would be of consi derable moment. It states, under date from that plaCe of the 6th instant, the receipt of Official intelligence of a Peace having been concluded be oyeen Spain and Por:vgal, and thence it infers, between Pwirg.ll anti Fraece, the latter having aacd only ots the auxilfaiy of Spain, Louis BoNA.- TAI TT ) It aLKICaI 4M144. 10 , va. /- • , order to sign the Treaty.
