Jr, , is. with much pleasure that we find our. selves authorized to contradid the statements that have appeared in several of the Public' Papers, instnuativg, that Admiral CORNWALLIS, if he had not been recalled by the present. Board of Admiralty., had at knit been indrard by them to resign the Command of the Channel Fleet. We can:. state from 'authority, that the gallant Ad. tnitid returned home at his own request, to settle some private affairs, and that he will very shortly resume a Command in which he has acquired such disttoguished honour to 'himself, and, performed such essential service to his Country. The pie. cot &Lod of Admiralty, so far from_ wishing to recall the gallant Admiral, or adoiming any con. eutt that should induce him to resign, would feel, in common with the whole Nation, the deepest re. 0i -et at an event that should deprive the Country of his services. And, we have gaud reason to believe that the gallant Admiral, and the Fleet under his command, are sa well satisfied with the appoint. meat of the jsrerent Board of Admiralty, as the Board are with ,the services of that distinguished Officy r OU R Readers will, we are convinced, participate with us in the satisfaCtion we feel, in stating that the American Qovernment, without waiting for any bilidal Remonstrance on the put of Great Britain, have autholized Mr. MIIRRY 10 disavow, in the mast distinct and unequivocal manner, the unwar. rantabie language held by Mr. LIVINGSTON at teEpeaing the fhbricated Correspondence' tributed io Mr. MAKE, Evrny inforrnitin 'rirliich' has lately been re. ceivid s either 0 : Goverontent or by private indi. lamp Coa: . ,t of kratlce, a 0.4 cent movements in the Enemy's Harbours, indicate must strongly their intention of immediately 'fling t he decisive but desperate experiment of an /ova. biun of this Country. We stated some time ago, that the state of affairs oo the Continent was such as would force BoNAPARTE (if he were really serious in his intention of Invasion), to attempt it home. diately, or would furnish; him with an excuse for giving it up, if he found that his plan was impraelicable. But when we consider, that by giving up a measure of which rile has talked so long, and boasted so con fi dentlyi and for which he has . made such immense preparations, he would expose himself to the contempt of France and' of Europe; when we know with what little compunc. tion he would sacrifice the lives of thousands, fOr the bare chance of carrying a favourite point, we have no doubt which way he will determine. It is hardly necessary to say, that under these circumstances, Government have adopted every precaution which human wisdom can suggest, for placing the Country in a state of absolute security. •As there is every reason to suppose that the at. tempt by , ' the Boulogne Flotilla will be made upon the Coasts of Kent or Sussex, the Troops in these distriets have been considerably reinforced; all the' proper means have been provided for conveying them with rapidity to any part where the danger may threaten : a number of barges and other vessels have been provided at Gravesend, to transport the Troops from EsseX into Kent, without delay, in case of necessity, and we understand that orders have aCtually been sent from the War-office, for the whole Brigade of Guards which were stationed at Chelmsford and Colchester Barracks, to march this morning to 'Tilbury, from whence they were to be conveyed over into Kent. Thus prepared, we can only express our most fervent wishes that many days will not elapse before we have an opportunity of giving the world a proof, that to attempt to in. vade Great Britain is to rush on' certain destrudion. ACCOUNT4I, we understand, arrived yesterday at the Admiralty, stating that the Enemy ventured out on Friday last from Boulogne Harbour, with their boasted Flotilla, in such a manner as to spew that they really intended to try their strength with the Bri. tish Squadron before that place. Admiral Louts, with the promptitude of a 13ritish Officer, imme diately stood towards them with his Squadron, and being fortunately favoured by the wind, was en. abled to bring them to with promising success.— The Enemy, hoWever, soon found that the Tars of Old England were more than a match for them, and, therefore, endeavoured to get back as fast as they could into their own Port. The confusion was so great, that only few of their vessels were able to recover the Harbour, and the rest lay under the protetion of their own guns at the mouth of it, but were still exposed to a severe annoyance from our Squadron, which sent several of them to the bottom, and considerably injured others. We hope the Gazette of to-night will contain the particulars of this triumph of British Valour and skill over - an insulting Foe, who is always threat. ening to destroy us, and dares not make a vigorous attempt to carry his menaces into execution. YESTIMDAY the Elation for County of M id. dlesex commenced, and, owing id the great exec. tions of the Sheriffs, the business 'of the day was conduCted with as much order as could have been expated. At the close of the Poll, Sir FRANC IS BURDETT had a small Majority, in consequence of the uncommon exertions made by his friends ro get possession of the a venues' to the Hustings at an early hour. We have no doubt , but that the loyal Electors of Middlesex will make every exertion to rescue the County from the disgrace of being (Mated to by that desperate Faaion, of which Sir FRANC IS By RDETT is the nominal head, but the real dupe. We cannot indeed but feel some concern. for that weak and misguided young man, when we,see him the uncon scious tool ots 'set of infamous men, who are ing at his folly, at the same time that they are plundering his Fortune and destroying his Clime. ter. Sunday evening the ROYAL. FAMILY walked on the Terrace at Windsor; the evening being remark., ably tine, the Terrace was crowded. In the course of the evening His MAJESTY con versed with the Russian Ambassador and hie Family. Yesterday morning, Soon after breakfast, HIS MAiss•ry and the PEMCESSES took an airing in Windsor Great Pak. HER MAJESTY and the Vitipicessts took an airing through tighain in a sociable.

Ego w kr mac, and several other persOns; . which was read, and t 1 e several Resolutions were I agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in uni- Wittily thereto.. FINANCE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved: ' ' the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned Debate respelling the amount of the Public Debt.r-- After that Order was read,'he said, that as he had some additional Regulations to propose, he wished ' for a further adjournment, in order that these Re. solutions might be previously printed and discussed along with the others. He then moved the Re.: solutions, and postponed the further consideration of this question till to.morrow. Mr. VANtiITTART said, that as he did 'not con ceive that this subject ' would be sufficiently eluci. dated by the Resolutioni that had been suggested, he would to.morrow move some additions, in order to render the inferences more clear and distinet.— For that purpose he found it necessary to move for the production of two accounts. The one entitled an Account or Estimate of the Duties of Customs and Excise, charged in Great Britain, or outstand ing upon Bond or otherwise, from the sth of April :303, to the sth of April 184, distinguishing the several Articles and Duties ; and the other, an Ac.: count or Estimate of the Amount of the Duty -t o. Property, due and outstanding; from the' same . date, so tar as the same can be made upe+Ag p ited to. CORN III!. I ,, lr'' '' . 4 0.44 Mr. WESTERN !mil& U • if.' for Regulating the importation and Exporpti ii of Corn, which, he said, was, in substance .and circa, in all its Clauses and Provisions, precisely similar to the one lately re . keted in that House, on account of the Amendments made by the House of Lords, except in so far as related to those Amendments. He hOped that the Bill would meet with the approba. lion of the House, and moved that the Bill be read a fir:t time. Lord ARCH. HAMILTON said, he had various übjetitois to urge against this Bill, but he should content himself at present with asking the post. ponement of it to another Session. There was one particular point to which he wished to draw the at. tention of the House, he meant that part of the Bill which went to regulate the Importation of Grain from Ireland into Scotland, which would operate to the disadvantage of Scotland by the average price being c ,, mpaieti, not by the prices in the different DistriCts in Scotland, but by those of the Districts in Ireland. tie wished to know, from . the Hon. Gentleman who moved the Bill, how such - mateers were 110.±V to .be regulated. Mr. 11 7 :;STERN said, the avowed intention of this Bill was to, regulate the Importation and Ex. portation of Grain from Ireland to Scotland, by the average prices of the four Maritime pistriet ! i of Scotland, in such a manner as not:to impede in the tonality degre , , the Importation of Oatmeal from Ireland into Scotland. The object 'of the Bill was also, in a great measure, toopen the Ports, and en. courage the Corn Trade between Great Britain and Ireland. The difference of the Prices was at any rate hut trifling in Scotland and Ireland, nor amount. ing in general to mare than i.Bth. He hoped, therefore, that the Hon. Gentleman would defer the further. statement of his objeCtions till the Bill was Conitliit • The Hill was then read a firstand ordered to. be read a second time to-morrow, and to he printed. Mr. Coital , moved, that the Account of Irish Linens expelled, which had been presented to the Home, should be printed.-Ordered. Adjourned. PRICE OF STOCKS, This OAT AT TW 'LYS O'CLOCK.
