HOUSE OF PEERS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER IS, Tilts day His Royal Highness the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE (Prince ADOLPHUS FREDERIC) was introduced in full form—the Duke of NORFOLK attending as Earl Marshal, and Lord GwyDIR as Great Chamberlain of Eno-land, sworn, and took his Seat. His Royal Highness's Supporters were his Royal brothers, the DuxEs of YORE and CLA RENCE. Sir FRANCIS MOLYNEUX, Bart. the Principal Usher of the Black .Rod, in consequence of indis position, did not attend, but Mr. QUARME, the Deputy Usher, officiated upon the occasion. Some private business was then transaded, The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the,following Bills : the At to prohibit the Distil lation of Spirits from Wheat in Ireland ;—the Ad to permit until the Ist day of jury, 1802, the making of Starch from Rice or Potatoes,. or any mixture' thereof, and the Importation of any such Starch from Ireland free of Duty.—An Ad to con tinue, until the sth day of July, 18oz, an Ad made in the 35th year of the Reign of klis present Majesty, for permitting the importation of Organ_ zined Thrown Silk, Flax, and Flax-seed into this Kingdom in Ships or Vessels belonging to any Kingdom or State. in Amity with His Majesty. And one Private Bill, the Seend and Soinerham Road Bill. The Lords Commissioners were, their Royal Highnesses the DUKES of YORK and CLARENCE, and the LORD CHANCELLOR. Their Lordships then adjourned till Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, DEC. 15. AT a quarter before three o'clock Mr. QUAR ME, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoned the House to attend in the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given to several public and private Bills. The SPEAKER having returned from the House of Peers, stated, that the Royal Assent had been given to the Irish Wheat Distillery Bill, and seve ral other public and private Bills. The House then, on the Motion of Mr. VAN SITTART, adjourned to Monday next. THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICSIti FALSUM AUDILAT LONDON, DECEMBER 16, 18ox. CONSIDERATIONS of delicacy, as - well as of a public nature, for which we trust our Readers will give us credit, deterred us yesterday from laying be fore the Public some very disagreeable informa tion which- we had . received respeCiing the Fleet in Bantry Bay, the Crews of which had manifest ed symptoms - of a mutinous disposition. In now making this communication, we have, inexpressible satisfadion in being able to add, that it has been . entirely suppressed by the decisive measures and spirited exertions of the Officers, • particularly of Rear-Admiral CAMPBELL, on board of whose Ship, the Temeraire, it broke out. It seems, that on its being understood that four or five Sail of the Line were to be ordered to the West Indies, the Crews•of the Temeraire and the For midable declared, that, as the Peace was made, they would sail only to England.—They came on deck, and declared their determination not to weigh anchor, if called upon.. Apprehensions were enter tained that this spirit of insubordination would ex tend to the whole Fleet. This account was received on Sunday night ; in consequence of which, Mr. ADDINGTON set off very early on Monday morning for Brentwood, where Earl ST. VINC rNT has been for some days on ac count of his health, to consult with his Lordship on the steps that should be immediately taken. Mr. NEPE AN and Sir T. TRow BRIDGE met him there. A Cabinet met yesterday on this very iMportant occasion, whirl: sat three hours, uthich_was.atie r ul_ ed by all the Members of Administration, and at which we understand, the most vigorous and 'deci sive measures were determined on. nese have hap_ pily been rendered unnecessary, by the glorious and creditable efforts of Adm. CAMPBELL, Capt. EYL and the Officers and Marines of the Temetaire, who behaved in, the most exemplary manner, obeying all the orders given with the greatest alacrity.— The Admiral himself seizeJ several of the Ring leaders; and when the account came away, per_ feet tranquillity and subordination were by these timely marks of spirit and determination, restored on board the Ship where this disgraceful disturbance first broke out. There was every reason to be lieve that the Ships under Orders would proceed to sea with obedient and .repentant Crews, of whose misconcluta, we trust that thi3 will be the last in_ stance. His Royal Highness the DUKE of C4::ERIDGE yesterday took his Seat, with the usual formalities, in the House of Peers. He was introduced between His Royal Brothers, the Dog.Es of Yotu arcs CLA RENZE. The Duke of Noitrotx and Lord Gwy. DIR attended in their OfEcial Capacities as Earl Marshal and Deputy Great Chamberlain. His Grace the Archbishop OfCANTEMWRY read prayers. WE daily receive the most distressing accounts of the effeds of the late stormy weather. These have been dreadful on the .Coast of Holland, and we learn 15) , ‘ a Neutral Vessel arrived at Harwich, that no less than °eighty-Jour English Vessels have been wrecked between the Texel and the Maese. Eighty dead bodies had in one day been found on the shore, and carried for interment to the Britle. The damage, we fear, has been equally great to the Southward, Last night the Hamburgh Mail due on Sunday. se'nnight (the preceding one to that received yes terday morning) arrived. The KING of PRUSSIA has written a congratu. latory Letter to the KING of ETRURIA, on his en tering on his Government. The arrival of the STADTHOLDER has produced a very great etre& on his partizans in Holland. They begin to entertain the greatest hopes, and they already believe that that Prince will soon again be their Governor. Every thing is at a stand at Ratisbon, and it is to Amiens that all look for the settlement of the great interests which remain to be arranged on the Continent. The Legislative Body at the Hague assembles / every day, except Sunday and Monday, and com mences its Sittings according to the ancient custom, with prayers. The Corps of General BLucKER continues quiet in its Cantonments on the Ems, without taking posses ion of the Bishopric of Munster. The Batavian Republic is making every effort i.ith the Chief Consul to prevent the Port of An:- rcierp from being made free. The Mail which became due on Sunday is not arrived. His MA J ESTY held a Levee this day at St. James's ,htlace. A Council of His MAJESTY'S Ministers was yes terday held at Lord HAWKESBURY'S Office. New Clothing for the Guards has been sent down to them to Winchester Barracks, whither they were :first to march after their landing at Portsmouth yesterday. A circular letter has been sent by His Royal Highnesss the COMMANDER IN CHIEF to all Com manding Officers of Cavalry and Infantry through out the kingdom, direaing them to discharge all such men belonging to their several corps as are above the age of 46, and all those labouring under ailments and infirmities. Letters Patent have passed the Great Seal of Ireland, dissolving the Board of Ordnance, and Colonel I'AANLEy of the Royal Artillery, Lieut.- Colonel FisnE R. of the Royal Engineers, ALEXAN DER SCNAW, ROBERT. COLtNTAN, and CHARLES HOCHSTETTER, Esqrs. arc appointed as a Board of Respetftive Officers to manage and condua the Ord nance Department in that part of the United Kingdom, under the controul of the Board of Ord nance of Great Britain, in pursuance of His Ma. jesty's Warrant issued for that purpose. Mr. PITT . is at present at Cambridge. This day a grand entertainment was to be given to him by the Members of Trinity College, and to-rriorrow he returns to town. On Monday the New Exchequer Bills, bearing only 41. i is. per cent. interest, were sent into cir culation, and sold at par. Yester;lay Exchequer Office began to py the interest due on the Bills that are funded; and the transfers will take place this day in the Funds. We do not believe that there is any truth in the report of Mr. TIEttNEY succeeding Mr. N. VAli. SITTAItT at the Treasury. All the Members of the House of Commons con. neaed with the Distilleries retired before the di. vision, from motives of delicacy, or the majority for opening them would have been greater. Among those who retired..wfits Mr. Sirt IN; who is very deeply concerned in the Scotch Distilleries. Nothing can be mare conclusive than the reply of Mr. MILEY ADDINGTON to Mr. ROBSON'S assertion, that we are indebted to Peace for the plenty we, now enjoy. While he ably, and in contestibly, exposed the absurdity of an inference that has been drawn by several others, he vir tuously ascribed this blessing to its 0.. y fo!intain, " the Bounty of Providct:ce in an abundant Harvest." Yeuter,lay a meetiaivor•the-rrirreipal -Primers arid Booksellers in .the metropolis was held at the CroWn and Anchor Tavern, to take into considetation the high price of Paper, and the moat propermode to be adopted to of ed its reduction ; when it was stated to the meeting,- that steps to that end had alre a dy been taken by a selet few of the Booksellers, who had drawn and sent to the Minister a Memorial, in which - they set forth the grievances that the Printers and BooksellerS laboured under, from the high prices of- Paper, and prayed that. some relief might be given them, by taking off part of the heavy. Tax ,already laid on that article, or by permitting a drawback on all Books newly printed. It was by some thought that the application would have had more weight, when understood to be the result of a general meeting of the Printers and Booksellers, than from a few individuals concern ed in the-,trade. It was then suggested to lay before the Meeting a Copy of the , Memorial which had been sent to the Minister, together with any other proceedings that may have taken place on the business. This made it necessary to adjourn the Meeting until Tuesday hem, when they will determine either to confirm what has already been done, or proceed on anew plan, agreeable to the sense of a General Meeting. Yesterday a Court of Dircaors of the East India Company was held at the India House, which ad journed to this, day. NAVAL NEWS., PORTSMOUTH, DEC. I. His Majesty's Ships Aurora, Pearl, Cleopail and Careilia, with,several Gun-boats, are order° immediately to be paid offal this Port. The Inectstarzt Frigate is ordered for Sheernet for the same purpose. We hear that the Tartar, Ht sox mister, Whip sailed from hence yesterday for Gibraltar, is 61 ' shore near Cowes, and full of water. Yesterday afternoon, with a North East Wir' el sailed all the outward-bound, the whole of wili cl) are this day put back to Spithead, Motherba4 and Stokesbay. Arrived the Hileria, DUNII, from London Gibraltar, having tarried away her windlass, riding in a gale in the Downs on the 9th inst. Arrived about Twenty. Sail of Ships from 06 Downs, mostly outward-bound. This. -day the gallant 42d, and 3d Regiment" Guards, from Egypt, landed at this Port. ItARIVICH, DEC. Ig. THE Earl qf Lecerter Packet, Capt. THOMPW f ' and the King G e or ge , C a pt. D EANE , arr i ve d las t night from Cuxhaven, with the Flambro' and Br e ' men Mails. These Packets experienced a deal t ) tempestuous weather on their passage ; the large r left Cuxhaven so long as Saturday the sth instant. By a Neutral Vessel arrived from Holland, th e accounts from thence are melancholy, of the le and damage done by the late gales, particularly t ° our Baltic Fleet—no less than eighty-four English Ships are on shore between the Texel and tlio. Maese, and not less than eighty poor sufferers were found on the shore in one day, and carried to th e Brille to. be interred. The like accounts are re' • - • ceived of damage done all along the .Coast of 1-10I' land to Dunkirk.—A great many American sh/P 5 / Danes, and Swedes, are on shore upon that part the Coast. SHEERNESS, DEC. ts. THE Raison, which has been fitted as a Recei g# ing Ship for Leith, came into Harbour from Nore this day. POOLE, DEC. rs. THE Outward-bound West India Fleet passed by yesterday. The Hope, M ANIS Likvirs, in hes- pagesspe_AV Cl Cherbourg, passed by a great deal of wreck, sisting of yards, sails, &c. but it blew so hard rha t he could not venture to attempt to take it up., The General Post:Office has given notice, ' ll°f the communication by Post between this Coal and France will be re-opened by Packet boats fr", Dover and Calais, on Friday next the atia and the Mails will continue to be dispatched fr' l this Office every Tuesday and F r id ay , as forinerl_ / that measures are taking to accelerate the re-e 5 4.4 blishment of Packets between this Country Holland,, by the way of H arw i c h an d Helvo er sluys—and that the commu n ic at i o n b etween kii ir , with and Cuxhaven will be still continued. A letter from Sr. Petersburgh,. dated roth P h) ; vember, says, " The lasi week has been . the 0 °5 5 tremendous weather in our recollection, and ha completely stopped all business. An hundred l e 'of British ships arc re a dy f or sea : b ut t h oug h t , l e snow lies very deep, and th e f rost i s sever e, trust they will yet get away.
