deferred till the crest Session. , *lhat HoUse, he thought; should' be caiteful, ,and particularly in the absence of so many Irish Menabers;' hoir it interfered in the elective franchises of Ireland; and of Ireland only. Were it even early in 'the Session; he thought 14 days' mould he Insufficient for the 'consideration of a measure which involved the elediVe franchise of the whole of Ireland. ' The House then' divided on the question for thd Speaker's leaving the Chair, *hen there appeared; for it 27—.—against it 26—Majority 1. The House then resolved itself into i'Corfiniittee on the Bill, Mr. HOBHOUSE in the Chair. _Mr. ALEXANDER then stated his objedions to a Measure which affe6.ted the rights of all the Corpo rations of irelaud,, comprising not less than 300 ) 000 Eledors. He was called to order by Dr. L.AITRENCE, who thought it irregular that he should take that opportunity of entering on the vneral merits of the Bill. Mr. :4EXANDER was again Proceeding, when he was interrupted by Earl TEMPLE, who observed,' that it was then on the stroke of five o'clock, 'and that an under standing had .last night prevailed, that no other. sub jeet should be discussed till the examination of Wit nesses on the Charges against the Marquis Wel lesley Was concluded, and therefore moved, "'that the Chairman should report progress;and have leave to sit again on Monsy." The SPEAKER there was an ,understand ing that all other business sliould give way to the examination of witnesses, Colovel VEI?EKE,Ii considered this interposition' s'the exercise of Ministerial influence. Mr. FoO'ER. remarked, that it was irregular in the Noble. Earl to take advantage of his speaking to order, for the purpdse - Of making a - Motion ; the Noble Earl rose either in Order or iliOrder. The House was pressed'bylthe- Right Hon. Baronet into this Committee, and the clock had not since moved so rapidly, but be, might have foreseen 5 o'clock would arrive before the discussion could he over. Mr. S. BOURNE expressed his lamentation and surprise that the advocateS of this Bill should pro pose and press a measure at the same moment, or within a few moments of the time, when they were Obliged to propose that progress should be reported, and the Chairmad have leave to sit again. Earl TE.MP LE said, that he would not appeal to the Hon, 'Gentleman, but to the Committee at large, whether the understanding was not last night, that the examination of Witnesses in Lord Wellesley's case should precede every other discus- His Motion, therefore, was not liable to the invidious remarks made on the other side. Mr. 4 GEX/I.II , DER vindicated himself from having said any thing which could be called in- Dr. Lag/BENCE said, that when be bad the honour of being more acquainted with the Honour able Memberwho spoke last,- heconsidered him as a good classic scholar ;: but though the Honourable Gentleman might have changed his opinions, - the word " invidious" had not changed its signification. ,Sir J. NEWPORT explained. Mr. ROSE said, that• when he came into the 'House, he was astonished to find it dividing on a measure, the discussion of which must necessarily interfere with the arrangeinent of list night. Colonel VEREKER said, -the arguments of Sir J. Newport were unsatisfaaory'to him. He had shewn his ignorance in his statement, as . in Ireland the Clerk of the Peace, as welt as the Mayor, ;was an annual Officer. He then moved, as,atiAmendment, to substitute the words " this day three months" in stead of Monday next. The House then divided. For the Amendment Against it 27 - ,- 39 Majority - - —ie. The Cotnniittee was ordered to sit - on Mon Jay. Lc)Rti. IVELLESLE-Y. • , • On the Motion of Mr. P. 1,01,1., a return was direa ed to be made forthwith'to an Orderof the sth.of June, for Papers relating to the Oude Charge against Lord Wellesley, . . , On the Motion' of Mr. PA UL L,the House proceeded to a further examination of witnesses.O the :Oude Charge. • . . Sir ARVICiIt WELLESLEY asked, whether it y•ras• the intention Of the• Hon. 3Gentleinan to examine. any more witnesses: than Major Ouseley and Colonel Scott ? The objel of this question ,was, that those 'who were not to be called upon should: be at liberty to go away.- ' Mr. PAULL answered, 'that the tWo Gentlemen alluded to were the only witnesses he meant to exa mine this day, with the e xce p t i on o f Mr. Johnstone, a Member of the- House: He took this•opportuni ty of stating, that the Papers he hadyecently advert ed to contained very Material evidence to the Charge, without which he c0 , ..11d,.n0t proceed : further. He would, if the examtriation of the witnesses men tioned should close this night", propose to adjourn 'the' further proCceding :till Monday, in the hope that the Papers • would be by that time produced. Mr. JOIINS TON E 6ellig called upon as ,a wit ness, to answer a luestion, as to his fielding- a,high official situation at- Oti' took occasion;" before he answered the queStion, toreptesent the disagreeable situation in which - he was placed,by this examina tion. He should. have to give a vote 'on this Charge, andhe felt himielf ih a very anerneldifs situation .as a witness, considering he'should sdshtittly after have to give his vote as a ju'dge. .. - Mr. P.rIULL assured - theTHon. Gehtlernan, that he meant not to ask ,any question which could in terfere with the freedom of his vote, . . . Mr. Johnstone was then examined at considerable length by Mr. PAULL : he had .been a long time at Lucknow, and aded as British Resident there in the year 1794. He . had heard that the Vizier Asuf Dowlah was much addided to opium and spirituous liquors, but could. not state this of his .own know ledge. He knew that the system ofLord Cornwal, lis with respe& to Oude was, never to. interfere in its internal affairs, except in the way of advice and ad monition ; and that the,Vizier and his Officers were at that time treated with great respeca.by,the Officers of the Company. It was his opinion, thatif Lord Cornwallis had b - ei:m Governor' when the Vizier was deficient in. the 'payment of the sums, stipulated by the Treaty, he would, have examined to what this deficiency was owing, and if it proceeded f rom in ability, th a t h e would 'have reduced the demand, instead of seizing his territories. - After a long conversation upon the admissibility4f, 1-°s"? THE Anson Frigate, with 'a Fleet under Convoy from Cork, and the Certerus, Frigate, With-a Fleet under Convoy from Portsmouth, are arrived at Bar badoes. The Certenis sailed froth the latter place .on, the 7th of May; with the Ships under Convoy for Jamaica. WE have received American Papers of the date of the 24th ult. and are sorry to find that the clamour • which has been raised against this Country has by no means subsided ; on the contrary, a new cause of complaint has occurred, of which the Anti-Eng lish Party has not failed to take advantage.--It is "stated Mat the British Frigate the Cleopatra boarded an American Ship, from Londonderry, with Irish Einikrants, and took out of her fourteen men Who were Passengers, and an American Citizen. This damning deed," it is said, teas, committed with the utmost insolence .nnd'cruelty. 'We have' at present no means of ascertaining whether this stitetlit:,l be true or riot j u frorxr the rinatii li ier w,,bich the ha is .. 1: - tenti9'nect and commented upon in theAinterieati;Papers;. we are inclined'to think that it is merely .a fabrication to keep iire.that spirit 'of animosity. which the •People of America have lately imbibed against this Country. The respeaing the' Ekpeditioth of_ Ged. MIRANDA are extremely 'contradidtory, and some of , them clearly unfounded. It is stlted that Capt of the American Ship Speedwell, on'his return from La Guira, .:on the SpaniSh Main, tell in with His Majesty's Frigate the Mermaid, the Captain of which informed him that General MIRANDA had sailed from St. Nicholas Mole, where he was joined by six. British Frigates, -with an English . . General and 6000 Troops; corn posed .of Mulattoes and Negroes. ,I\iov it is perfe&ly well known that Admiral Coc fIFt !NNE late ly - sent home for instructions to 'govern 'his conduct with respe& to General MIRANDA; it is therefore , quite improbable that he should, before he received those instruaioni, have taken'such <1 decisive step as to assist him with so large . a British Force. CVs have received 'Paris Papers to the I 3th, and Dutch to the 15tIvinst.. , but they contain no intelli genceof importance. .A Letter frOm Naples con firms . . the account: of the Capture of , the Island of Capri by the &jab.

The .Noble Lord dis played great legal knoWledge, and manifested a firm . regard to the principles of the ConStitutiOn and the practice of Parliament.

THE Public Are still amused with floating‘ruMours of a Negotiation bet Ween this Country and France, but we have no reason to believe . that the authors., and promoters of these rumours have any . authority for their speculations. Whatever 'MeS'sage may have been dent to France has certainly not been con veyed' by Lord YARMOUTH. _ A Passenger frOm St. Thomas's, who arrived' at Tortola when the Packet was sailing . , reports,. that " three French and . one Spanish: Frigate had arrived at Porto Rico from , Cadiz, and thk four Fronchline.: of-battle Ships were at St. Domingo."

Even- , tually adecision took place.—For the question being put, r6.--,Against it, 46. On our. return to the Gallery we found Mr: PAtILL on - his legs, proposing an Adjournment, 'on the ground that the decision that had just taken place was in dire& contradi&ion to the praelice of. the ,House on 'thee preceding evening in the examination Of Lord Teignmouth ; sand thai .having prepared a list of qbestitins founded on the supposition that that 'praaice would be persevered in, he was not ready to . proceed at present. Lord ;TEMPLE Surged the propriety of proceed. ing with the examination of Sir Alured Clarke, as all, other public business had been deferred for the express purpose of hearing, as rapidly as possible, the evidence on _the Charge against Marquis Wel lesley. Mr. HUTCHESON, and after Mill Mr. Fox, strongly contended that the 'Hon. Gentleman Was justified in pressing an adjournthent. Mr. Fox de- clared himself' surprised at the decision to which the House. had just come, after ,what had 'taken place , last night. He could not Conceive on what reason= able grounds it had been determined that the Hon. Gentleman should not question the Hon. Baronet as to his opinion on,the subjet, the investigation of which, had been undertaken by the House. After a variety of observations from a number of Members, Mr. PAULL was* allowed to proceed with his'questions. Sir A. Clarke was accordingly call ed in, and his examination 'continued until half past eleven, when he was permitted to withdraw. The House was immediately 'resumed, the Chair man reported progss,- and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. On the Motion of Colonel WooD, it was ordered that James Salmon,' Esq. late Military Auditor Ge neral of Bengal, do attend the Committee to-moi-row to give evidence on the Charge against Marquis Wel- - lesley. The Training Bill was ordered to be read a second time to-morrow, ou , an understanding that the de- bate on it should take placein a subsequent stage. 'Mr. Secretary:.

NAPLES, MN*? 23.-'---The small slan.dof Capri has been taken by the English, but not without great resistance froth the small number .of French, who received the broadsides of four English Ships of the Line. Though without a single 'piece of artillery, they defended themselves to the last with their mus kets,,and made an honourable surrender to i 500 of the Enemy who had landed.. The whole of : the small, Garrison returned to Naples, according to the capitulation, except the Commandant, and a few mien, who were killed in the attack. The English approached Ischia and Procida, in sight of thi s Ci t y, a second time ; ,but as these small Islands are well defended, they immediately drew off, for fear of be ing destroyed by the batteries. • MAY 24.---The late Queen of Naples has caused all the pile - Jr:slaves io beliberated; and forined a-re giment out of their body, commanded by PANG DI GRANO. Some of them have been thrown upo n • the continent of Calabria ; and 150 of these wretches have been arrested, at Cotrona, .100 at Reggio, and6o at.
