He ar Lord TEMPLE nVjved that the Order for the Com, mitment of the Tortola Free Port Bill should .be dis, Charged, Mr. ROSE did not objea to the delay ; but , con tended that no Amendment could be made to ob-- v.iate his objektions to the principle of the Bill. After a fey words from LorcliTpmpLn, the Order .was discharged, and the Commitment of the Bill ".Xed fOr Monday next. ThEt Irish Land Partition Bill, the ExCise Expir ing Law,., Bill, and ihe.Felons%Transportation Bill, were read a third time, and passed. The Ten Millions and a Half Exchequer Bills' Bill, and the One Millon - and a Half Exchequer Bins' Bill were reported, and ordered to he read a aiird time to-Morrow. WITNESSES' The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved . , thq second reading 'of -the Witnesses' Declaratory. Bill. Mr. PEECEVAL did not rise to oppose the se 7 cond reading, but he' hoped that some distant day would be named for the Committee. A great-many alterations ,would, at all „events, be required, hilt be yond that, .he was very doubtful whether the Bill was at all necessary. : It was very Obje6tionable, as it .did not state the Law 'exactly according to the opi nions of the' Judges. The ATTORNEY GENERAL did not wish at present to anticipate any thing that might be said On the subjel, but .he hoped'that the Bill would be allowed to go into a Committee, and objedions to the principle might be afterwards stated. The Bill was 'then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on 'Thursday-. Ott the Motion of Mr: WHITBREAD, the SOLI CITOR-GENERAL and Mr. SHERIDAN were ordered to. be added . to .Lord - I\lelville's Impeachment Coin, rnittee. M i r. 'Wright, from the Board of Controul, pre sented certain Papers relative to India ; which, on the Motion of Mr. PAULL ' were'ordered,to be printed, WAYS AND _MEANS. Mr. ROSE adverted.to:,tile, iptention of the No ble Lord opposite to him, to propose the Ways and Means of the year on Friday, and said that since the observations which 'he had last made on the sub ject, he. had' consulted the Precedents, and. found what he had said to be exaatly true, that no, example of , Ways and .Means having been brought forward before the. Supplies .voted, bad occurred since the Revolution. If the I.pan; as was said, was to be only 18 or 19 millions,•the Ways and Means for the Army must be, in a great measure, conjeaural. He wished anxiously to call the attention of the House to this subjeat, though the voting .of any sumi that might appear tc be; necessary would meet with .no opposition •from him. Lord 'HENRY PETTY replied, that oft Friday he : might not perhaps move to the full amount of 4iidAlaansTequirecl, but that they wetlid be subjeEt to any Saternent that might hereafter be made: , It was. probable that any defeats might - be supplied before the Resolutions could be acted upon. Mr. HU SKI S SON said, that in Case,of any defi ciency it might not, be so.easy to act.o:lllllodatt the 'Taxes to it, or to raise-or di ninish the Loan,: which certainly ought to be made after the Supplies had .been all voted. . . • Lord HENRY ,PETTY replied, that if the Con traetors would be satisfied on that point, there need be no objection froth any other quarter. . After a few words from Lord HENRY PETTY and Mr. RosE, the Conversation was interrupted by the SPEAKER, who said there was no question before .the 1-Touse. LORD,MELVILLE. Messengers froin.the ,Lords. Presented to the • House a Copy of the Answer of Lord Melville to . the Tenth Article of Impeachment. • The Answer, on the Motion of Mr. WHITBREAD, , was read a second time.—[See the Report of the Lords.] Mr. WHITBREAD then moved, That it should be referred to the Impeachment Committee, with or ders to consider it and, report what ought further to be done.—Ordeied. • The Committee then reported, That Lord Mel ville was-guilty of the Charges contained in the said -tide. • . On the Motion of Afr. WHITBREAD, this Repli cation was read a second tiync, and. ordered to be engrossed.—lt was engrOssed accordingly,, and then ordered to be, carried by Mr.. Whitbread to the Lords. Mr. WHITBREAD gave notice, that, at the proper time, he would Move that the House of Commons uo .attend.. the Trial .as. a - ComMittee of ;be . whole House.. • ORDNANCE TREASURER'S BILL. Lord HENRY PETTY moved, .that the House . resolve. itself into a ComMittee on the Ordnance Treasurer's "Bill. In moving this, he, stated, that the objea of the Bill was, -to bring the Expenditure of the Money for the Ordnance more, immediately un der the public eye, mid to prevent the Treasurer from Making any use of that Money. .It was not as yet so preCise as it ought. to he, and therefore he -.yould be ;lad of any assistance in making the necessary al- Aerations. • . The Bill, being. committed, Mr: WELLESLEY POLE declared his appro . bation, of the principle of the, Bill ; but observed, that several alterations , were necessary to make it answer the purpose whith •the Noble Lord had in View : he explained why 'Such a Bill had not been hi - Ought forward by the late Government. It was the intention of that Government to have proposed such a Regulation betrerthe i oth Report of the Corn ! . missioners of Naval; Inquiry had been laid on the .Table ;• but afterLomun,isioners had been appointed "to examine i.11:s• liepartment, itiwas thought better to wait till they had made-their Report : heitated the 'A.UlezidrnentS' Which he meant to propose, and mentioned that•thefe.Was nothing in the Bill • con 7 periling Ireland, which he understood , to arise from an intention of p4n2inz the ordliance,of that Counr try underthe management of the Lord Lieuienant, which lie strongly deprecatpd. . • , Ixrd HENRY P ; TTY in the propriety of the .Amendments ; and stated, that the reason Why it:was -brought in - its present shape was that had been - sent to th,e person at the head of the Board of Ordnance, who had expressed no objection to it. With regard to Ireland, the only objeat - was to sub thit the expenditure of the Ordnance there to the controul of the Lord Lieutenant, and even this had not by any'means been 'finally decided 'Upon. • After some further conversation between Lord HENRY PETTY, Mr. POLE, and Mr. HUSIUSSON, the Clauses were hrought up and agreed to. The House , _ having- resurpot the Report was received, and ordered to be furtherconsidered 7 oll -Monday next. The Bill was ordered .tto be printed as amended. On the Motion of Mr. VANSITTART, the House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, the Pa pers relative to Miscellaneous Charges presented by that Gentleman having been previously ordered to be referred to the Committee.—The usual Motions respe&ing . the Supplies for the French Emigrant Clergy, Highland Roads, Bow-street Office, ..&c. &c. wre made and c.greed Adjourned, • , MAILS.

THE thopkmentary Gatette,,,published last night, contains the most ample details of the late: most glo rious and decisive Viaory. It Would be a waste of time to offer to ,our -Readers any observa . tions upon the advantages which must. result to this Country from the destruaion of so con siderable a portion of the remaining Naval - Force of the Enemy ; but we think there is .:strong reason to hope, from Vice-Admiral Due:won-nH's Dispatches, and frOm all the private iniorn-kiiic i n which we have received, that We may soon hear of some captures in the same quarter. It. is evident that the intelligence which the Vice-Adisnral re ceived before he reached St. Domingo led him to believe, that the Enemy's Force amounted to ten Sail of the . Line and several Frigates, and he distinaly states .that when he first got sight of the French Squadron, which ,:wer, then dander a press of sail, he conceived that they were. endeavouring to form a junaion with their remain ing force; and. we understand thgt the French Officers who were taken, all concurred in stat ing that they expeaed to be joined in the Bay. of St. Domingo by another Squadron. If this were not the case, it is difficult to account for their re maining so long in the Bay after having landed the Troops. The, French Admiral must have been aware that his arrival at St. Domingo could not long remain a secret, and he - must - `also be conscious of the danger . to which he was exposed by re maining so, long in, an open Bay, where, it .ap pears, that he could have derived no proteuion from the Batteries : we cannot, therefore, account for his eondua in any other way than by supposing that he waited there for the expe6ted reinforcements. We understand, that immediately upon the arrival of Admiral DucKwolern at Jamaica, the whale cif Ad miral DActin's Squadron sailed for St. Domingo, ih the 'hopes of falling in with the other French Squa dron, supposed to be under the command ofjERORT.E BONAPARTE. It is rather a singular circumstance, that some private Letters lately received from Paris state,' that information had been received in .that City, of Eight Sail of the Line having been captured in the West Indies by the English, in two engagements.;' , There is 'every, reason to suppose that the Squa dron which Admiral DUCKWORTH clnsed on his passage was not the • one which' he afterwards en gaged ; and it is' probable that the' ComMander of the former Squadron might be deterred from going immediately to the 'place of his destination, by knowing that a powerful Englioh Squadron was on its passage to the West Indies. There was a mistake in the Gazette Ea traordi nary, , with respt to the Officer who brought home the Dispatches ; it was Capt. N. D. COCHRANE, and not the Hon. Capt. COCHRANE, as there stated. We are also informed that the French Admirals name is LE SAPE; not LE SIEGLE. Tuts morning the Hambargh 'Mail, due on Sun day, arrived ; we also received a Lqden Paper of the 21st. The principal articles of intelligence which they contain will be found in a subsequent Column. THE' Gentlemen who intend to .bid for the loan waited on the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER this morning, to ascertain the amount of the Loan, and the terms' upon which the bid dings . are to take , place on Friday.-- We un derstand•that the 4rnonnf of the Loan is to be 22 Minions; .18 for Great Britain and 4 for Ireland.L— ,OLthe latter; two Millions are 'to be raised . in Efitland, and tiro. in Ireland.

He th en paid a tribute of respe6t to the newly-appointed' Lord Lieutenant Of . the Tower-Flan-jets, Earl • of AIONIA, and of grateful applaus e to the memory of Marquis CORNWALLIS. After enlarging, on two or three appropriate topics, Mr. Roßses read the Ad dress which he had' composed,, and which was iul rnediatelE adopted by.the Meetin g , D RLCE Avis,. F t -q sea:aided the several Motions which were.made, The Address is conceived in terms of great mo- . deration, and expresses such sentiments of _ale K,INO'S more immediate AdVisers as We thitik must needs become every well-wisher of the Country. Sir DANIEL WILLIIW4 opened the proceedi ngs by, reading a Requisition which- had been made to, him by fiv-epe-puty-Lieutenants he -presided with that candour, firmness, and-ability, which ever dis tinguish him. The Thanks ,of the Court were Una, nimOuslys voted him ; as they Were to Mr. ReEseN, for 'his exertions on the occasion. THE Axis.--In,nb one year live so many splen did- colle6.tions of Piaures been - brought to public sale as in the present. , The colle6liori .of the late Mr. HULSE, of Blackheath, .attreded considerable nofibe at Cifaisttes last week. it was very fashion ably attended:, The Pi&u res o f highest price tell tq the Marquisses, of , Buekingham and Headfort, Lords Fitv.villiarn,l3esborough, En nisrnore f and Mr. Ewen.

This Lady, we understand, is a Miss TAYLOR. She is young, beautiful, and inte resting in her person.—Her figure is very elegant, and .her face is prominent, regular, and capable of varied expression. A s'an Actress it would be confi dent and uncandid to decide on her pretensions, as her powers were very. evidently restrained by timi dity. As far as we could venture to judge, we augur fivourably of her talents, and conceive, that .though she. may not be able to take leading charac ters, she may be found useful and interesting. Her voice is pleasing, and her deportMent not. ungraceful. The Audience received her with great kindness, but all their liberality could not dissipate her diffidence. KE4BLE. never exerted himself snore ably or snore successfully in OCiavuin. • The fire, tenderness, and romantic desolation of the charaeler were admirably varied and sustained. The applause he reeeive4 from a numerous Audience was quite enthusiastic..
