PArTRIMTICI FUND. LLOYD'S, JAN. 14, Igo6. 9r" Feelings of National Enthusiasm and Gra titude,-,excited by the Glorious VI CTO KY of TRA FALGAR, have been displaye.i in CONTRIBUTIONS of unexarnpled Liberality to this Fund, established for the Re ber and Encouragetneut of those engaged in the present mo mentous Contest. . . The Colledions after Divine Service,on the Day of Thanks giving, with other new' Contributions,exclusivel y appropriated to the Relief of those Wounded, and to the Families of those 'Killed, in His Majesty's Service, amount to 77,1741. The new Subscriptions for the general Purposes of this institu tion, amount to 43.4001..; 'and the Committee estimate, that after payment of-every call occasioned by the late signal Suc cesses of His Majcsty's Arms, a Surplus of t 95,5701. will remain to meet the future claims of British valour. In former Wars, Subscriptions were confined to the Suf ferers in memorable and successful Enpgements. At the commencement of the present War, this institution was founded on the more enlarged and liberal system of including the cases of all those who suffer in a6tion with the Enemy, on every occasion whatever: and extensive as the plan ap pears it finds abundant resources in the public spirit and liberality of the British Nation. j.

LORD MELVILLE's IMPEACHMENT. Lord MELviLLE appeared, , and presented at the Table his answer (pursuant to a former Order of their Lordships) to the Articles of Impeachment exhibited against him by the House of Cornmons It in sub stance avers, that he is.not guilty of any of the of fences alledged against him in the said Articles, as he is ready to prove before their. Lordships' Right Hon. House. The Answer having been read, a Copy of it was, on the Motion of Lord WALSINGHAM, ordered to be sent, by Message, to the House of Commons; and the Answer was ordered to be printed for the use of their Lordships. On the Motion also of Lord WALSINGHAM, Mr. PLUMER, Mr. Manx, .and another Gentleman, were assigned as Counsel for Lord MELVILLE. A Coimmittee was likewise, on the .'lotion of Lord WALSINGHAM, appointed to intpaire.intO, and report Precedents of Cases of - Impeachments for High Crimes and Misdemeanour. • MARQUIS WELLESLEY. The LORIJ ' C114410,L0R stated to the House, that he had duly transmitted the Vote of Thanks of that House, passed on the 13th of May, I$Q4, to Maarcuis WELLESLEY, and that he had re .ceived, during the recess, an answer from that No blemin: Understanding, however, that that Noble Lord was nów 'in England, and bad .been in that House; he thought it . would be more consistent 'with the forms of the House for the Marquis WEL 7 LESLEY to deliVer his answer in his plaCe, than for him (the LORD CHANCELLOO to read the Letter which he had received from the Noble Marquis. The further. consideration of the Appeal Caine, Ogilvie v, the Carron 'Company, was ordered to be resumed on Monday sennight.—Adjourned till to .morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, JAN.' 22. MARQUIS WELLESLEY AND TILE ARMY IN INDIA. The SPE/IKEII, on taking the'Chair, acquainted the House, that he had received a alter from 'Marquis Wm!. ESLEY, dated Fort WilliaM, May 30, 1803, in answer to his,Letter to the Marquis, dated May 4, 1804, inclosing the Resolutions of the House of the 3d of May, 1804, expressive of its approba tion of the condua of the Government and Forces in India during the War with the Mahratta Powers, and of its thanks for such coudu&. Tile SPEAKER then read the Letter to the House, in substance as follows :—'• " The No,bleMarquis acquainted the SPEAXER, that he had the honour of receiving his Letter of the 4th of May, 1804, transmitting to him the Resolu tions of the House of Comtnans, 'respeaing the condu& of the War that had been'caried on in India against the confederated Mahratta Powers ; that he had caused these Resolutions to be ,published, with the SiEAkEtt!s Letter, in General Orders to the Army, and transmitted Copies of the Resolutions to the different Officers and Corps of the Indian' Army to whose sel-it - les they referred. The Noble Mar quis then requested of the STEAK-ER to communicate to the House of CoMmons the dutiful sense, and liVeY gratitude. and . reSpe4, with which he received the Resolutions ; and concluded with a declaration, that so flattering a testimony of approbation So handsomely given fotlieir servites, could not fail to animate • every clesCription of the Forces employed to tirther and More 'distinguished exertions."

VINCENT at the Board of Admiralty---Ordered to lie on the Table ;, and on the motion of Admiral MARKHAM, to be prihted. THE ADDRESS. Lord FRANCIS SPENCER, from the Committee ap pointed to prepare the Address in reply to His Ma jesty's most gracious Speech to bOth Houses of Par liament, presented their Report at the Bar. • The Report was brought up, and the Address read a first and second time, and agreed to. It was then ordered, on the motion of Lord CA§- TLEIREAGEI, that.it be presented by the whole House, and that such Members . of the House as were of his Majesty's Privy Council should wait on his Ma jesty to know when his Majesty would be graciously pleased to be waited on therewith. HIS MAIESTY's SPEECH. Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that His Majesty's most gracious Speech - be taken into consideration to morrow.—Ordered. CONTINENTAL TREATIES Mr. GREY desired to be informed, when the Co pies of the Treaties with the Powers of the Con tinent, which had been adverted to in the Speech at the opening of the Session, would be laid before the House. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that no time should be lost in furnishing the House with every Docu ment conne&ed with this subjeCt, that could either be wished for or produced. PERMANENT ADDITIONAL FORCE BILL. Mr. SHERIDAN rose to submit the Motion ,of which he had yesterday given notice to the 'House. As he understood that no opposition would be made to the produlion of the Papers he wanted, it was unnecessary for him to occupy the time of the House with any preliminary observations: He should, there fore, content himself with moving, " That there be laid betine the House a Return of the num ber of ctredive Men that had been raised under the Act of the 44t1v0l His Majesty, entitled an Ad for Raising a Permanent Additional Force, &G. up to the period of the last Return, together with an Account of the number that have been re cruited per week, distinguishing those that have been raised by Parish Officers, and those by . his Majesty's Officers for the:, Parishes. —Also, the number of those that have volun teered from this Force for general service."—Ordered. • Similar Returns were also ordered, on the motion of Mt. SHERIDAN, for Scotland and Ireland. Mr. CHARLES DTINDAS 'took this opportuni ty of presenting to the House a Petition from the Magistrates and Freeholders of the County of Berks, on the subject of the Additional Force Bill, and pray ing its repeal. The Petition was,sigded by all the respedable Magi:3trates, Gentletnen, and Freeholders of the Connty, and had been unanimously agreed to at a most numerous Meeting of the County, held for the purpose of considering the subject. It had been found by experience that the At was imprac ticable, and the Petitioners, - of necessity, felt thern selves compelled to apply to the House for its re peal. They stated in their Petition, that of the whole number which the County, under the At, was 'called on to raise, only eleven had.been procured by Parish Officers, which had not arisen from any neglect on the part of , the Overseers, but from the impossibility of carrying the Provisions cf the Ad into execution: The Petition also stated, that in consequence a sum of 63251: had been imposed on the County for penalties, which operated as an op pressive and unjust burthen . upon the landed inte rest, and was particularly severe upon the small limners. The Hon. Member after thus' stating the substance of the Petition, declared, that under such circumstances, he should have felt it his duty to submit a Motion to the House for the repeal of the Bill if the subied had riot been taken up by the Hon. Member (Mr. SHERIPAN) who had given a notice respeCting it, and who was far better quail, fied for the task than he was. At the same time, however, that he felt satisfaCtion at seeing the busi- - ness in such able hands, he could not let slip the present occasion of calling the attention of the Gen tlemen opposite (and particularly of the Noble Lord who had last night spoken on the subject, and inti mated an intention of His Majesty's Ministers to Make some . alteration in the Bill) to the matter of this Petition. He was convinced that the measure was impradicable, and that nine-tenths of the land ed interest of the Country would not be satisfied without the total repeal of it. Experience had proved it totally insufficient to the object which it was de signed to aceomplish, .and in its operation it had been found a grievous, unfair, and unn.ist imposition upon landed property, and very unequal in different Parishes. • He had but • one observation - more to make, and that was, that whatever a imin's property in the Public Stocks or Funds might be, he was not called on to find a single man; a circumstance that shelved how heavily the pressure must fall upon landed property. He hoped ; therefore, that His Majesty's Ministers would_ re-consider the subject, before they formed any determination to continue such an Ad under any mOdifications. The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to lie on the Table. LORD MELVILLE.. IVIETB.B4,ID, pursuant to his notice, moyect, , that the Resolution of the riouse i resped ing the appointment of a Committee of Impeach ment against Lord AIELvILLE, of the (26th of June, FBO5, ghoul& be read--; also the Act of last Session, for continuing the proceedings respe&ing that Im . peachmeht, notwithstandincr any Prorogation cir isKiluticn of Parliament,. be read.—Ordered.

Admiral RussEL's Flag 'Ship the Majestic has arrived at Yarmouth, and the Princess of Orange ; of 74 guns, for whose safety some apprehensioLs were entertained, has also arrived at that Port. It has 'for some days past' been reported, that a second Squadron had - escaped from Brest, and that an Enemy's Fleet of 14 Sail of the Line had been seen at sea. There is no foundation for this re port ; it originated from the statement. of the Captain of a Swedish Vessel, who was under the convoy of the AretAusa, when she fell itywith a Squadron of seven Sail of the Line and four Fri« gates, - which we mentioned. some time ago. Yesterday in the House of Lords, Lord MEL vtitE put in his Answer to the Articles of Im peachment exhibited against him. The Answer i% a general Plea of Not Guilty to all the Charge-3.

All the English, who were very numo - were living at Stettenbosch, net being per- . mitted to reside within the town. Bengal piece-, goods were much in demand, and provisions scarce and dear. Much discontent prevailed among the Troops for want of regular pay; the inhabitants were also dissatisfied with the Government; and it was the general opinion, the Governor must sur render on being summoned by an Enemy,_ as there were not more than '2OOO men, and those Out to be depended on ; su confident were some of the Mer ' 'chants of the Settlement soon being in possession of the English; that orders have been received to get ready particular assortments of goods, to be shipped immediately for that market, as they are in want o 4" all European commodities.
