•• land, -and to move for leave to bring •in: a BUI to empower the Lord Lientenant of Ireland, for the. time being; to appoint Corinnis'siorierS to inquire into the state of the public endowed Schools in Irelatth. He trusted that it would nOt be necessary for hiln to occupy much Of their time in commenting uppn the advantages that world be derived from improving the educatiOn of . the mass of the people in Ireland. It was a subject that had frequently occupied the attention of the Parliament of Ireland ; and an Aft was passed the 9, th Geo. lll.,cap. 38. for the purpose ofappointing Commissioners to inquire into the state of their Schools; .the consequence was, that a very di ligent inquiry did take place,-and a Report was made, which contained a great deal of very useful informa tion, by which it clearly appeared, that very great ablises bad been committed in the applicaticii of the Funds, Legacies,.and Endowments given for these purposes, and that great sums of money had been appropriat ed to the private use of pet sons who were e n t rus t e d . . • with the application of it for public purposes. ^ No steps, however, were taken in consequence of this Report, although the 'subjea was brought timer the consideration of Parliament in 170, and in 1799, when strong Resolutions were passed, declaring the necessity of improving the, education of the common people of Ireland. But notwithstanding these repeated efforts of the Parliament, the edu cation of ,the mass of the people of Ireland re mained unimproved by the lapse Of time. The object of the Bill which he now moved for would be, • to appoint new Commissioners, in order to institute a fresh Inquiry with a view of finding out some per manent measure to effed an objet admitted 'upon, al bands to be - so - necessary: , --Leave was given. PAPER CURRENCY IN IRELAND. Mr. BERNiIRD rose to ask the. Right Hon.' Ba ronet (Sir JOHN NEWPORT) whether he did not • Mean to bring thrward some measure to check the great issue of private paper in Ireland, and the abuses resulting from the banking systeai in that Country ? It was perfeEtly well-known, that persons had set up banks in Ireland with scarcely any capital, and had issued paper to an immense amount; and when failures happened, great—ournbers of persons were athaally involved in ruin ; he therefore hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would bring forward some mea sure to remedy the evil. Sir JOHN NEIP PORT said, he was perfe&ly aware of the evil of which the Hon. Member com plained, but it was a subject of great delicacy, and it was highly necessary that any measure of regulation which might be proposed should be most maturely considered. Therefore, he did n o t think it right to yropose any measure at this late period of the Session, but he certainly would call the attention of the H6use to, IC eaTly next Session. CORN INTERCEJANGE 3TLL. -On our re-admission to the Gallery, we found the iii a Committee on the Bill for the free Inter- Change of Corn and Grain between ,Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. FOSTER, after adverting to the great im portance of the Bill, stated, that the grand preventive to its efficiency, as it stood at present, was, that no uniform and general standard •of import and export prices was established, but the prices were differently regulated in the two Countries. To ob viate this, he proposed two Clauses to be added to the Bill, enacting, that the calculation should be formed upon the whole" average prices of grain in the Maritime Counties of England, Scotland, and Lifland. Sir JOHN NEWPORT acceded to the propriety of the clauses, but thought that their addition to the present Bill would occasion the loss of so much time in Procuring the necessary returns as would make it impossible to carry the measure this Session ; he, therefore, hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not press them at present, but allow them to be the subjet of an amended At in the next Session. Mr. FOSTER did not see the advantage of bring ing forward a half measure, to 'be regulated and com pleted next year. Without the regulations he had proposed the Bill would be of no beneficial effea I and he thought the Session would be long enough,to admit of their adoption. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH .and Sir ROBERT PEELE thought the general principle of the Bill of such im portance, that it ought to pass without the delay of particular regulations not yet digested, but which could be added when they were. Mr. FALKINER said, he rose to express the. great degree of horror he felt at seeing the business of Ireland so shamefully transa&ed in that House before almost empty benches. This was the second time- he had had occasion lately to notice this ; and,, as .representing the first county in Ireland, he consi dered it necessary, in order to prevent disgraCe from attaching to him.. . Earl TEMP LE said, nobody Would feel the dis grace more than be should; if the English Members of Parliament could be supposed Capable of negle6t ing the business of Ireland. He was sure, however, there was not a Representative in that House, who did not feel it to be equally his duty to attend to the concerns of both Countries, and he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would recant his censure. Mr. FOSTER said, however he might admire the warmth of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Falkiner), be could not but feel that his observation was not relevant to the present debate, as this was a mea sure as much English as Irish. After .a short debate between Mr: Scott, Sir Newport, Mr. Pattison, Mr. Alexander, .Lord De -Blaquiere, Mr. 'Western, and Mr. Foster, the clauses were agreed to, the Report was received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Fridan_ and the sill, with the Amendments, ordered to be printed. The Irish Pot Road Bill went through a Com mittee, and the Report wa3 ordered to be received this day. _ _ The other Orders were deferred till Thursday, and, at One o'Clock, the House adjourned. • DUBLIN, JUNE 12.—Yesterday 'His Grace • the Duke of BEDFORD nominated the Rev. Dean WAR BURTON to succeed to the Bishoprick of LIMERICK, void by the death of the .Right Rev. Dr. Jona BAR NARD, late Bishop thereof.

At a late hour last night we received Ptiris Papers to the 1 ith inst. from 'which we hdve made very copious' and interesting extrads. • The song dis puted question respe&ing the evacuation of Cataro is at length finally settled, at' least it is officially announced in the IWoniteur. In consequence of this concession on the part of Russia, it is stated that the French Troops will be imtnediatelywithdrawn from . Germany, and that the Fortress Of Brannau will be given up to the EMPEROR of GERMANY. But in' an nounbing this intelligence, the writer in the French official. Paper takes the opportunity of making a most violent attack upon Great Britain. The Noititeur also contains a long article in the 'shape of a Note upon a Paragraph in Mr. Fox's Speech on the Mutiny Bill. It is couched in terms less acrimonious' than the former, but it displays the same spirit of hostility against this COuntry. The obje& of it is, to prove that Great Britain can never make any important Military exertions on the Continent : 'First, because she has no Allies: and, secondly, because the extent and number of her Foreign Possessions require so large a portion of her Military Force. Our East Indian Possessions, it is said, require forty Regiments fur their defence, and Gibraltar two. We really did S not expea to find such gross ignorance, : with respe& to our Military Establishment, in the Monitettr. .We have also received Dutch Papers to the 15th inst. which are nearly filled with details respecting the new Constitution. Messrs VERHEUIL and VAN STYRUM have returned from Paris to,the Hague, and have announced to their Countrymen that Prince Loxits BONAPARTE has graciously. condeScended to become their King, and that he would speedily visit his new dominions. He will be accompanied, for very obvious reasons, by a considerable body of French troops. A report was circulated 'in Holland that the new King had died suddenly; but there does mot appear to be any reason to give it the slightest credit. • Letters from .Berlin state, that Baron HARDEN BERG was about to depart for Louden on a special mission. , YESTERDAY the Funds experienced another very, considerable rise, andit was confidently asserted that a Negotiation for the purpose of restoring Peace had a&ually been opened, and that Lord YARMOUTH, who arrived in town a few days ago from France, had yesterday set off for Paris, with some Dis patches from the British Government. The Very commendable .secrecy which Govern ment has preserved with respect to the intercourse which has hitherto been carried on between the 'two Countries, renders it impossible for us to communicate any positive information. on this subject; we can only repeat the opinion which we gave yestei-day, that these reports are found ed merely upon conjecture,, and probably cir culated for the most interested purposes. The lan guage used in the. ast Illoniteurs with respea to England is far from being of a pacific or conciliating nature; and thtbugh the conduct of the present Chief of France is not governed by ordinary rules, yet it is , not very p'mbable tnat he would accompany. .propo sitions of a pacific. tendency, with language calcu lated only to inflanie ,the animosity which subsists between the two Couutries. Windsor-Terrace was extremely crowded on Sun day evening: their MAJETIES and PRINCESSES came on at half past seven o'clock. The company pressed upoh them sd much, that they could hardly pass. Among the company we noticed the Duke of Biro- CLEUGH, Earl CAMDEN, Lord SOMERVILLE, the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR, the Dean of WINDSOR, and a number of other persons of distinction. THEIR MAJESTIES honoured the Russian Am bassador and the Dean of Windsor with their con versation, and at half, past eight THEIR MAJESTIES had a Concert. Yesterday Morning the Foot and Horse Artillery were reviewed on Woolwich Common by his Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES ; after which Gene ral Earl Mont A gave an elegant entertainment at the Mess-house to his Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES, their Royal Highnesses, the DUKES of YORljib CAMBRIDGE, SUSSEX, and nearly 200 Mili tary, and other Gentlemen. The uncommon fine nets of the day attraated a vast concourse of spec tators, among whom were several persons of the first distinaion and fashion. Lady .LE DESPENCER ,received her frienils in masqueo last, night, at her house in Hanover square. The house was, of course, embellished in all the fashionable costume, and a very large CCM, pany, among whom was the PRINCE of WALES, kept up the spigit of revelry till very late in the morning. • ' Yesterday the snn was visibly eclipsed : it began at 36 minutes after four, and anded s minutes after five, •. /1k A IL E § the Naiad Fri gate-, Capt.

The' Bombay Gazette, of 06lober 30 , 1805, says": " On Saturday last anchored in the Harbour the Ship Pearl, under charge. of Mr. HENDE.RSON, prize `to His Majesty's Ship Lord Dloican, Lieutenant SNEYD. The Lord Duncan, 'Lieut. SNEYD, sailed from Madras, on a cruize, in the month of July last, and, after a passage of five weeks, made the Island of Rederigues, 'where they discovered a FrenCh Brig .riding in the Harbour.; the Lord Dun can was hove_to, her Boats manned and armed, and sent in to board the Brig ;' in the mean time, the Commander, Officers, and Cr ew , a f ter cutt i ng h er cables, deserted her, and went on shore in theisland. The Lord Duncan's boats boarded, arid ,took pos .session of her; they found her principally laden. with fish ; but the wind blowing bard in, and a strong' current against them,' they found it impraaicable to tow her out : they set fire taller, and destroyed 'her. " On the following day she bore up for the Isle of France, and the day after making the Island she fell in with andicaptured the Brig Felicite,' of about 90 tons burthen,laden with plank ; .they saw, and chased-the Henriette French Privateer; she had just left : the Island cn a cruize, but being light winds, she escaped by..superiority of sailing. The Lord Duncan then' proceeded to the Island of Bourbon, where she fell ha with, and chased on shore, a French Corvette, carrying eight guns and four swivels. The Corvette was completely dashed to pieces on the Shore. . " From, the Island of Bourbon the Lord Duncan shaped a course for St. Mary's, on the Island of Ma dagascar : they met the most cordial reception from the Natives, who were exeedingly anxious ,to ply them with every necessary the place aftbrded ; here they continued nine days, after which .they weighed, and ran down the East Coast of the Island of Madagascar, looking into the. different ports ; and at Fort Dauphin they fell in with and captured the Ship Pearl, and destroyed' A French Brig ; the Crew of the 'Brig had run her on shore, where the Duncan's boats destroyed h6r. The Com= Mander and Officer s o f th e P ear l h a d cut her cables, set fire to the Ship, and deserted her, taking ieftige on shore ; fortunately the boats got timely on Ward to extinguish the fire, with the 'assistance of the Las cars they foUnd on board, and got, her' clear out: " Mr. ITEknEasoN was _pot on board the Pearl, as prize -master, having a part p . f the Ye/icite"s crew on board, and in. company with -that Vessel parted, with the Lord Duncan on the 2g t h alt. Finding the Felicitd 3 bad sailer, the Pearl parted company with her on. the 2d inst. making the best of their way to Bombay so that the arrival of - the Felie ma}r be daily expeEted. When they parted_ company with the Lord Duncan she Was steering for the Island of Bourbon." The Aurora, STRINGER,' Parthean, Mom, Nile, HANNA, and the Phybe,- JONES,' froii ‘Janicica for London, arc. arrived at Cork. Some mouths since the Leander was appointed to receive the flag of Adtniral BERKELEY, who was, as usual, allowedsto nominate his Captain ; and Capt. HUNIPHRIES had, iii consequence, been order e d t o supersede Capt. Wurr.mr. . Capt. HUMPHRIES sailed some time ago in the Vile de 11Pcin to assume his command. We are induced to recall these circum stances to the remembrance of our Readers, as they will account .for the removal of Capt.

What'does nfean by aOing ottensive4 ly on the Continent? What war is there on the Con-` tinent ? Who are the Allies . of England in this war ? Is it Prussia ? But if we rightly read the declaration of England, she has ordered the Prussian Vessels to 1 - ,e detained; and in that we cannot'recognize a stipula tion of alliance.—ls it Austria ? But. befor e . we suppo,e Mr. Fox think s so , we must set him down as ignorant of the Treaty of Presburgh. is it Russia. ? We must also suppose Mr. Fox does not know that which is known, to 'almot all Europe at .this Let him be well persuaded, that the Court of Saint Petersburgh does not kn ow w h at s h e h erself has v.., fear froMEnglarid .upon the se as an d i n the East ; and that she is ignorant that the „affront which has been offered to her Ambassador in China has b•.ezt produced by the i n t r i gues o f th e English' FaCiory, We must suppose; in fad, that Mr, Fox is ignorant that the 'Mouths of the cataro have been restored to Austria ; • that Btannati is in censequencp restored to,the Emperor of Germany, and that the grand Army, in the course of a few weeli_s- will be'niiited in Paris, for'the Fetes which were intended to take place in the month of May. It is true,. that the :in trigues of . the English retarded thes e Fe tes t h re e, months ; but it would be easy for us to prove, that the _power of 'France has - beeri, increased by the de lay, and thitt her system has bee"n censohdated.. it is thus that the efforts of England . always turn to our advantage.__. . . . _.. . . " If she :will only make Peace when sh' shall have recovered all that she has lost on the Continent; which probably means when she ..,,hall have elfeaed the re-establishment of the Stadtholder'ln Holland, of ' Austrian Belgium', of the ,Doges at . Veniee,anti Genoa, and.of her vielitn at Naples, this dedaration" is by no means consoling for.the creditors of the English debt. Mr. Wr ND FI ANI himself, excellent an officer as he is, knowp that it will require twenty campaigns to ' 'succeed' to , this extent ; and the re establishment of the Princes who owe'their fall to nothing else — than England, does not offer a very en 7 couraging'proSpea to the new Allies who I.Vould engage in' this fourth Coalition. " Bui, if we are to believe these Orators, their new military-system is to change every thirig. What nonsense! At no period have armies purely Englisli ever rendered themselves conspicuous on the Conii nent. Thus the troops of the Black Prince Were composed of Bretons, Gascons, Normans. CHARLES the Bad, the DukeS of BURGUNDY, the great Feu datories who betrayed their Prince, produced the stic. cess of England. Thus thearin les of MAR/Ali-mutual: consisted of Dutch and Germans, and, only a smal' number of English. It is true, the DUKE,of Youi: commanded an army wholly English when he peared in our days before Dunkirk; but we know the result of the . battle of Hondscoote. It is true, that this, same Prince commanded an army -entirely. English when he landed in'Holland; but the - retrtat of Alkmaar will not be compared with that of the Ten Thousand. It ii.true, that more,lately . also, and in the last war,.the English landed in Naples but they only appeared' there to overturn the throne; and, after, having thus destroyed-it; thty, did - riot hondur its fall with a drop of their blood. "Theyhave also appeared in Hanover ;• but here their triurriphs were limited to the power of re-ern— barking—an advantage whi c h they owed solely to the King of Prussia, that Prince whom they treat al this moment with so little consideration. " Should it even be true, that England had con siderable armies in the time of Louis XIV. and XV. we are to draw no conclusion from that respe&ing her actual military. Powers. She had not then the great extent of possessions which now belong , her. We re her Army as great as it h as b een , it would be anni hilated.by the eStablishnients which these: detach , • ments require.- Thus, she is obliged tp keep fort, Regiments in the East Indies, ten in the West, two at Malta, two . at Gibraltar, &c. A Nation of nine milliOns - of people, which before it can have a man for its own defence, is obliged to send fifty Regiments to. the East and West Indies, to oppose the entire Indian population, the Negroes, the Canadians, and theyel- . low fever, can never be a military power in Europe ;. and it is in these circumstances that England has lost - twenty-five thousand 'Hanoverian • - soldiers—a loss which she will never repair. The English are laugh ing at the Princes of Europe, when they suppose that .).
