SYr Po..rw mkt the . .sTobleLord right as to q noint Of ris;fla - adaidly to the higher ranks: This w:IS the case in many Regiments of Militia as• well is the Law. He. himself, and •several others of the hig - I;eroflicers in his Regiment, had been Subal tern . It was dangerous to innovate on the relations between the different kinds oftiorce, when there was 119 -raund for it but paltry economy. Mr. Alderman PRLVSEP was sorry to oppose any mea-ure of Government re;ative to the national delence ; but when a measure was proposed atfeCt ing the constitutional rights of any body, and with such Clauses as these, leaving so much to the dis cretion of Ministers,. he could not give his assent to it. The period at which ifwas brought forward was also an objection, and to this was added the dissatis fidion which would he felt.by the Militia Officers at a 'distindion of this sort. This was very impolitic in time of. War. Mr: WINDHAM said, that .the complaint, as to the lateness Of the Session, was nota substantive ar gument ; for, in order to make it worth any, thing, Gentlemen must prove that this was a great con, stitutional.questipn. Now. this he had before de nied, and did so still. He then proceeded to shew that they were entirely mistaken in considering this as an alteration of a fundamental principle of the Militia; and this he did by shewing, as he had done before, that the Legislature had dope, nothing more as first, than say, that when. the Militia were called out •they should be on the same footing with the Army. This appeared a very , proper -thing to them at the time, but it was never meant that this regulation should be perpetual. Besides this, the principle had not been atied on, for there was a distinction as to the half-pay and the q ualification . But hefurther contend ed, that theprinciple was not set aside by:thisßill, for even in the Army, the pay was only given where it was necessary 5 and as to tile principle, therefore, the Militia were still on a footing with the Line.--. He dwelt upon the absurdity ofthe supposed breach of faith; as the argument would go to _shew, that no A& of Parliament;could ever,. under any change of, ircumstances, be altered. This would be, in tdeed, making our laws' like those of the MedeS and Persians. But then they said "wait for .peace." .But the injustice and breach of faith would be the same in Peace as in War, and the difference • would only be in the degree. The breach of faith, lowever ; supposing it to be one, could not in time of peace be excused by saying, that it was a little one, any mere than the lady, by saying that her natural child was a little one, could excuse her breach of chastity. Upon the whole, he would; with confi dence, appeal to the Country, whetherthis pay ought to extend to the higher Militia Ofllcers,, • Mr. CHARLES WYNNE spoke in favour of the, after winch the House divided—For the third Teading 35—Against it 24—Majority it. On the question, " that the Bill do pass," some conversation took place between Colonel MITFORD and Mr. CANNING on the one hand, and Mr. WIND BADI on the other ; after which the House. divided again—Ayes 43—Noes c2—Majority 21. The Bill then passed. Lord NIORPET'II moved, that the Order for the further consideration of the India Budget be renewed for Friday next. Mr. BOBSON complained of the absence of 'Ministers at the time ,hat such important businest' was to come before the House ; and added, that if berea:ter there should not be a more full attendance -on the Ministers 1 Bench, he would do- every thing in his power to oppose the further proceeding in the business. AL . .GRANT adverted to the. proposition of a Noble Lord (Castlereagh) . - last night, that.a loan should be raised fin- the- assistance of the East India Company ; he took the opportunity which now of fered, as Indian affairs were mentioned, to state pub licly,, that such propositiOn was riot made with the kno Nledge or concurrence of the Dire&ors of that Commercial Body. PAULL declared, that he thought some fur ther explanation was necessary as to the state of the Company's finances, after the assertion which bad been made last night by a worthy •Aiderman (Parssep), whose word had certainly great weight, namely, that the' Company were in a, state of insol vency. Notting further on the subje& paiSed.. The ques tion for the Renewal of the Order for Friday next was put and carried without a division. Adjourned at Ten o'Clock. ' MAILS. AaazvED--t Waterford.

L 0 N D 0 N, TIIUi SDAY, JULY 17, 180 G. WE received last night Dutch Papers to the 12th inst. A Letter from Vienna, dated the 26th ult. states, that the Austrian Troops destined to take possessiOn of Cataro, previous to its final surrender. to the French, sailed from Trieste on the 17th, so that there, can be no doubt that the French are by this time in possession of that important position. It now remains to be seen whether BONAPARTE will, en his part, comply with the terms of the Treaty 'of Presburgh, and withdraw his Troops from Germany. The Archduke CHARLES is indefatigable in his efforts to replace the Austrian Army upon its former re speclable footing. The letters tiom Paris speak of the Negotiation pending with Great Britain ; but add, that from the care taken by the Governments of both Countries to conceal the particulars of the Ne gotiation, it is impossible to ascertain what progress has been made. ALL the person . s who have lately returned from France concur in representing the situation of the mass of the People of that Country as being dvklorable in gle extreme. The total stagna- tion of Commerce has l rodncea • althost. universal mtsery,,, and though' the unexatr pled vigilance, and severity of the Government pr6r,ent the people from openly Manifesting their , discontent, yet B - ONAPARTE cannot be ignorant of the distress to which his ambitious proje6t4. have reducekthem. The result of the present Negotiation will sliew whe- Aber he is disposed to Word them the only relief in' his power, by consenting to. a Peace with - Great Bri 7 ; tain upon fair and equitable terms. The only communication which we can make to our Readers on the subje& of the pending Negotia tions is, that Mr. BAsmico is still in town.; but . his departure is every hour expeaed. It has been said, that the delay has not arisen so much' from ,any'in creased difficulty the 'nature of the Negotia tions themselves, as from the situation of Mr. Fox, who has not been sufficiently recovered' to . . . • enter into business with that degree of attention which must _necessarily ,be .required in a matter of such magnitude and importance. But all that has been 'hitherto reported is mere conjeaure, for Mini stets h2n - e condtiaecl the whole proceedings with such Cautions 'diseretion, that nothing iias' really 'been snared .to itranspire, or will certainly!beknoWn • till the affiir has'assumed such a shape as promises a decisive issue - His MAJESTY is expe&ed in town to-morrow. It is understood that the Kitchen in St. James's Palace is shortly to be shut up. . There is no essential variation in Mr. Fox's health . this day; but if he does not absolutely continue . to get better, it is ceat'ain that he has had no relapse, and that his medical attendants are favourable in their predi&ions.

The Russian Forces that landed at Cataro havd received positive orders to re embark ; and the Austrian Troops, who were-to receive' that place from their hands, a&ually got tu-' der weigh from Trieste on the 17th inst. On the other hand, a Courier, who arrived here on the same day from Paris, has brought to our dourt the official assurance of the approaching match of the French Grand Army of Germany for France. M. D'Ounam, having learned that affairs were so far - arranged, and having received from St: Peters burgh - his final instruCtions, went from hence on the 23d for Paris. From this mission a reconciliati6n• between the two Powers is generally expeeted. In the interval, the Austrian Government • wishes to avail itself of the first moments of repose to re'. establish its affairs. Among other things, 'the Go vernment bestows particular attention upon the Army, IS to be regulated under the auspices of the Archduke CHARLES. , The Austrian Officers on leave- of absence have received orders to join their respeCtive COrps without , delay.

NEW-YORK, JUNE 14.—A letter from a respea able Merchant at Curacoa„ to a Gentleman in Bos ton, dated May 6, says-- MIRANDA'S scheme of making a revolution on the Spanish Main, is entirely frustrated; be only escaped by the superior of his Ship. Two of his Tenders, laden with all kinds of ammunition, and 60 men of his troop's, have Ellen into the hands of the Spaniards ; he himself timght fora quarter of an hour, with a Sisanish armed Brig, near Porto Cavell° ; but Le was obliged to cut his cables and run. After touching at 'Jacque*l, to solicit assist ance from the Blacks, which he tOuld not get, he came to Aruba ten days ago, gave t 000 dollars for a pilot, and went from hence to Bonaire, where he remained two days to prepare for action,, and, pro ceeded further to:the Spanish Coast, incompany with two Schooners. He fell in with two armed Brigs ,near Laguira, who engaged him, and captured: the two Tenders. Every individual there L under arms, and well prepared to receive him. ,He fought with out colours. This information was received by our Government here ; and it is since confirmed from every part of the Spanish Main." _ _ • . NEW YORK, JUNE 14.—We learn by the Brig Resolution, from Trinidad, that a few days before She sailed, Admiral ComiasNr. dispatched his Son, ,in: the .Tason Frigate,' with the Flying 'Fish Tender, to cruise for MIRANDA off the Coast of BarcelOna and Carraccas, and to give hint assurance, that every ; assistance in the power of the British Squadron should be given to forward the suCcess'of his En terprize. The Plying Fisk had returned to Trini dad, and the Lilly Sloop of War had been sent to replace her. No intelligence by the Tender had transpired; but the prompt sailing of the Lilly gave rise to much speculative opinion. No account had reached Trinidad, of the capture of MIRANDA'S two Schooners. A report prevailed, that che Ar mourers employed at 'Cumana by•the Spanish Coe; vernment had been apprehended and executed on a charge of having rendered unfit for service the mu"- kets that had been entrusted to them to repair.. The East Devonshire and Northumberland Mi litia will relieve the Royal Cheshire at East-Bourne, which is to march to Lewes. A Fitth Edition is•announced of Mr. SUR n's Win-. ter in London.
