IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF PEERS. MONDAY, JUN 30. . The Judges resumed the delivery.of their opi nions in the case of " Lucina v. Crawford." Mr. Justice Le Blanc's opinion we could not distinetly bpar. Mr. Justice Lawrence was of opinion that the Commissioners had not an interest in the ‘ pro perty, so as to of ea a legal and valid policy thereon. Mr. Justice Rooke, Mr. Baron Thompson, and Mr. Justice Grose' were of opinion that ,tbe Commis sioners had' an interest sufficient to enable'them to effeEt such a policy.' Load ELDON moved to postpone the further de livery of the opinions of the Judges till Thursday.— Ordered. • _ The Debtors' Relief Bill was read a second time, and committed for Friday. INTHA. Lord Viscount MELVILLE adverted to the in tention he had intimated on Thursday, of asking a question this day, respelling the Affairs of India. Seeing a Noble Lord (Minto) in his place, he wished to ask, whether there existed at present any Govern spent General of India in Bengal, .and if there did, . of whom it consisted ? Lord MIATTO, said, he felt no difficulty in answer ing the questions of the Noble. Viscount, to whom, as well as to every Noble Lord in the House, he wished to give every inforthation in his power, when ever it could be given with propriety. , He con ceived that the ,same Government General of India existed now in Bengal as there did when that event took place which war so much to be de plored, the death of Marquis Cornwallis. He had no hesitation in stating. that His Majesty. had been advised to issue order's for vacating the Commis sion under which the funaions of the Government of India were exercised. This had been done accord ing to the terms of the A& of Parliament. / There was, however, 'a provision made in the orders sent out, that all the Members of the present Govern ment should exercise their functions until the pub-, lication of a new CommissiOn at Calcutta. There would not, therefore, be a moment's interval be tween the cessation of the fun&ions of one Govern ment and the assumption of those fink-bons by 'ano ther. Lord Viscount MELVILLE said, he felt it neces sary to trouble the Noble Lord with another ones.; lion,• which was, whether any, intimation had been sent to Sir G. Barlow, that he only held the Govern ment until the arrival of a successor'? Lord MINTO said, that intimation had been sent to Sir George Barlow of the vacation of the Con mission of Government. The vacation of the Com- Mission of course applied to all. the Members of the Council, but only pro forma, it not being the inten tion of Government to make any change in the Council. This, however, as the Noble Lord knew, rested with the Court of Diredors ; all he could say was, that it was not the intention of Government to change any of the Members of the Council. , Lord Viscount Mb LVILLE maintained, from what the Noble Lord had stated, that there was at present, virtnaliy,' no Government General existing in India. Fr.in what had been stated by the Noble Lord,...4dded to the dispatches in the Ciaiette, which he had read within an hour of his coming to the douse, he could not help feeling considerable anxiety with re peat to the situation of affairs in India. His Lordship gatre notice 'of a Motion respelling the GovernMent General of India for Friday; for which 'day / the Lords were ordered to be summoned. • .Strangers Were exchidedfor some time whilst the House discussed some matter of privilege.

PLYMOUTH HARBOUR. Lord HOWICK stated, that soon after he came into the Office be had the honour to'hold, it was represented to him that certain Embankments in the. vicinity of Catwater, in the Harbour of Plymouth, 'were likely to prove extremely injurious to that Harbour. - He immediately dire&ed a Survey to be made, under the . direaion of an eniinent Engi neer, the result of which went ,to confirm the representation made to him. He then order ed a , detailed,Report, which . was not prepared till tile 18th of June, so that the present was the earliest time at which he could bring it before the House.— He should now. move that a Copy' of the. Report, and:an Extra& from the Survey; be laid before the House, and referred to a Sele& Committee, that it may be ascertained'whether the embankthents al ready made were attended with such injurious ef leas as to render it necessary to destroy them ; or whether any measure should be adopted to prevent 'injurious embankments in future, such as rendering it necessary. to have the. consent of the Crown be fore any embankments could be ereeted in situations where any injurious effeds were to be apprehended. He moved, that there be laid. before the House a Copy of the RepOrt made to the Lords of the 4d miralty by Messrs. Rennie, and Whitby, on the 18th of June, relative to the Embankments at Cat Water ; with an Eicfrad of "the SUrvey of Plymouth Sound made by the smile Gentletnen, so far as related to the Embankments' at Catwater. The Papers were ordered, and imMediately -pre sented by Lord HowicK—on whose Motion they were referred to a Select Committee, to report to the' House 'the matter theieof as it shall appear. to them, with ' their opinions and observations thereupon. . . The SECRETARY at WAR wished .to know from an Hon. Member whom he now saw in his place (Mr. Ronso), Whether it was his intention 'to in stitute any proceedings on the Papers laid before the House some time since "on his suggestion,' relative to certain transat:lions in the Barrack Department in the hie of Wight .• Mr.' Rossolq considered the business as taken out of his hands by' the Chancellor' of the • Exchequer, who refused the Papers when moved for by him, and then moved for them himself three day's after. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer Would look after the abuses mentioned in the Papers, he would leave the business with him,' otherwise he would make a Motion on the Subjeti on Friday. . . The SECRETARY at WAR conceived that the ob jea of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in produc ing the Papers, was to make it appear, whether they could prove the abuses which the Hon-Gentle man said would be - made evident by them. He gave notice, that he would to-morrow move for further Papers on the subject., A Message froM the Lords 'required a peisonal conference with the.House : in the Painted Chamber; on a matter concerning the good correspondence be t Ween both "F,louses. A Motion to attend their Lordships. Was agreed . to, and a. Committee ap pointed to manage the conference, at the head of which was Lord HOwick. On the return of thb Committee, Lord HOWICK informed the House, that the Managers of the 'Lords had stated, that nothing. was more , wished for by•their Lordships ,than that a good understand ing should stet s:st betivken both Houses, and that as nothing could conduce more to this than a,cloSe attention to the forms and privileges of both Houses, their Lordships had taken into consideration the 14- solution of . the Commons - of the 18th of June, or dering Lord Teignmouth to attend at the Bar of their House as a witness. Their Lordships had sought after precedents for such a proceeding, but only one precedent could be found, that of Lord Balcarras, in the year 1779. Their Lordships, therefore, re commended to the House to consider of their Re solution, and this deficiency of precedents, and how it may affeCt their Lordships' privileges. On the Motion of Lord Howicx., it was or dered, that what had been offered on the part of the 'Lords, in the conference, be taken. into consi deration on Friday. Lord Howicx presented an Account of the Ex pences of the Subsidiary Corps employed by. his Majesty on the Continent in. the years 1800 and 1801.—Ordered. Sir W. lowa postponed from Wednesday till Friday the notice given on the part of Lord Temple, of a Motion on the . Oude,Chaige.against Lord Wel lesley.

Report of,-.the Slave Ship Bill was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a ttiird time to-morrow:The Irish Revenue Rezull tion Bill went through• a C s oinnlittee 5 the RepOrt to be received .to.morrow.

Read a first time, and ordered I t to be read a second time to-morrow. TRAINING BILL. On the Motion of Mr. Secretary Wit/Di-14m, the House resolved into4a Committee for the further 4 consideration of the Training Bill. The discussion of the various Clauses was re sumed. On that which related to the appointment of Peace Officers, Lord CASTLEREAGH took occasion to comment on the annual expence of the System, which he stated to .be=---For Constables, 60,0001, for Drill Serjeants, 108,0001. , and for the Custody of the Arms, 30,0001. making in the whole 198,0001. Mr. IFINDHAIII combated the Noble Lord's statement, which he asserted was grounded in fal lacy. Every Parish would not require either a Drill Serjeant or a Constable. With regard to the ex pence which would attend the keeping of the arms, the Noble Lord seemed very much alarmed at the idea of paying 35. each for 200,000 stand of arms, although he had formerly agreed, without hesita tion, to allow 'Gs. Bd. a stand for 350,000 stand of arms under the Volunteer System. Lord CASTLEREAGH, while he allowed that Some Parishes would be united, contended that' others must be divided. Taking the Parishes at 11 or 12,000 in number, and on the average supposing that each would require a Drill Serjeant, even in that case each Serjeant would have from 15() to 200 men to drill. Mr. WINDHAM observed, that the greater part of these Drill Serjeants would be attended with little additional expence, as they would be drawn from the Regulars and the Militia. Lord CASTLEREAGH :deprecated this mode of breaking up the Army. - A longdiscussion ensued on this and the follow ing Clause, in which Mr. Yorke, Sir W. Young,, Mr. Percival, Dr. Lawrence, Mr. Windham, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Johnstone,, tord Louvaine, Mr. Bastard, Mr. ShaW lefevre; Mr. Hawthorne, Sir John Wrottesley, Sir Jobn,Ne*port,.Mr. Paterson, Mr. Rose, - and Lord De Blaquiere participated. Much and various-interlocutory discussion took . place on several of the subsequent Clauses of the Bill, and several. minute verbal and explanatory . Amendments were made in most, of its. pro visions. When the . whole of the- Bill was gone ,through, - • Mr. Secretary WINDHAM brought up two Clauses for regulating the exemptions front service under the Aft ; which were agreed to, and ordered.td be added to the Bill. . Sir ROBERT LAwLEY gave nOtice; that, on the Report, he should bring up a Clause for supplying :what he thought a material deficiency in the Ad relative to the discipline of the Volunteers. Mr. YORKE also gave notice, that on the third reading of the Bill he should bring up a Clause simi lar to the Clause, contained in the former for authorizing His Majesty. to suspend the operation 01 this Adt in distrids where the number of Vglun te rs shall _amount to a certain proportion ,of the mn,ui• to be trained.. The House was then resumed, and the Report brought up. On the questiOn that the. Report be now received, Mr. YORKE had no obje%on to its being brought up, provided it was the intention of the Right Hon. Secretary to move, that the Bill, as attlended, be printed, and the Report taken into fur ther consideration on some future day. The SgRAKER stated the regular course to, be, to have the Bill, as amended, printed, and taken into further consideration on - some'day after it should be printed, unless it - was proposed to keep the Report open for further' Amendment, in which case it was usual to let it Re on the Table without ordering it to be printed. The Report was then, on the Motion of Mr. Secretary WINDITAM, ordered ,to be taken into fur ther consideration to-morrow' (this day). The Reports of the Committee of Supply, and of the Committee of Ways and Means (Army Extra ordinaries), were brought up and agreed to. Mr. VANSITTART gave notice, that he should' move for leave to bring in a Bill to'consolidate and amend tWaseVeral Ads for improving and render:- jog more. commodious the approaches to the, House of Commons..--Adjourned at Half past Twelve.

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT? LONDON, TUE:iDA.Y, JULY 1,180 G. THE Hamburgh Mall which was due on Sunday arrived last night. If we may give credit to the in telligence which it brings, the intrigues of BONA.: .• PARTE have succeeded m producing an entire chang6 in the politics of the Porte, for it is stated that some Russian Ships that were conveying Troops to Corfu have been refused a passage through the Canal of Constantinsple,ancl the reason assigned by the Turkish Minister for this refusal was, that if the Russian Ves- Sels were allowed to pass, it would give offence to another great Power, meaning, • of course, France. We cannot take upon ourselves positively to deny the truth of this. stateMent, but we think it ex tremely improbable. It is perfeally well known that there: are very few Papers on the Continent that will insert any article that may be consi 7 dered as offensive to the French government, and the great 1 . 4*(4 . 1..ty of the I'arrs are un,(1 . 5 its immediate influence and controul. The intelligence, tberefoT, which is now contained in the German Pape -.; mug:. be received with as much caution as that whi h i; inserted in the Paris Joulrnals. RI is impossible that the Porte can be ignorant of the designs which • BONAPARTE has, formed upon the Turkish ProvinCes Hborderirig - upon the Adriatic, and distinctly avowed them; and it must be equally ob . viiitis to . the Turkish Government that nothing can prevent hini from carrying those designs into execution but the Russians having powerful force in the Adriatic. The Emperor ALExAxins has declared, in the most unequivocal manner, that he has no intention 'of making any acquisitions from Turkey ; and his charaaer is too well-knows to permit any doubt to be entertained of the , sincerity of his .declaration. Under these circum stances, nothing but absolute infatuationcould induce theTdrkish Government to throw itself into the arms of France, and to incur the hostility of a PoWer whose objea, and whose interest it is to preserve the inte- Igrity and independence of Tnrkey. The Negotiatidns for adjusting the differences be - 0 tween Prussia and Sweden are continued with great aEtivity. His SWEDISH MAJESTY had an interview on the loth ult. with the Prussian General ClAint KALEREUTH. We are sorry,. however, to fiud that the Prussian Cabinet Minister, Count KELLER, who 'was recently appointed to that office, has resigned ; so that the influence of count HAUGWITZ over the Councils of Prussia pow rekains without controul. Reports still continue to be circulated that the French Armies are on the Point Of evacuating Germany; but we still retain the opinion which' we have unjforilllT expressed, that they will not return to France until. _ the changes which BONAPARTE has planned in the Germanic Constitution are completed. we have not yet received any authentic information re" speeting the nature or , extent of these .changes,, for we do not give credit to the repOrts recently.re ceived through private cfiannels from the Contincot- We cannot, however, long remain in ignorance 11P on this interesting subje&, for : it was generally be' lieved on'the Continent, that the new Plan would be presented to the Diet of Ratisbon on the 27th lilt' An . artiele from Mitnich, dated the 12th'ul t . states, that a French Courier had passed through that City with Passports for the Russian' Minister,. M. D'Ounatt. ; but the last letters frorti Vienna , which are dated the 17th, are pertealy silent urn the subjed. Tax important investigation, concerning 141 01 so many reports have prevailed, is now said to be concluded, and the Report is expetted.to be mode to-morrow. It is confidently asserted, but we law vt not upon what authority, that the High comnaitteq who have been occupied by this interesting 111(10 11 1 mean to limit their Report to a statement of th 4 Evidence, and not deliver any judgment of their Qwn• I / ord MELSILLS, conformable to his notice, arose last night, in the Upper House, and seeing Lord MiaTo in his place, begged leave to ask the Noble Lord whether there was, at present, any GOiern°r' General in India, and. if so, what was the o° l ' s of the present Government ? Lord MisTo, in all saver, stated, that the .Government in India e xisd . d in the same state as at the time of the lainekite4 death of Marquis ciaaNwA4,Lis. His MAJESTY had thought proper to vacate the Commission ; bit the present Government was in possession of eYerY power vested in the preceding Government, and would continue to exercise that power till the ap pointinent of a new Governor-General. Lord MEL.' VILLE then requested to know if Sir GEORGE i.ow was not actually recalled ? Lord MztgTA re. plied, that Sir GEORGE BARROW was certainly re called, and only waited for ' his successor ; but that no interruption is the Government doulc.ftake place, as his fundions were to continue till' the ar rival of that successor, and that no.change whatevett was to take place respeding - the Council: , sequence of this statement, Lord IVI EiviLLE declared that in fact there was no efficient Government `in in dia—nO Government proper to treat with the Native. Powers, and - such as they could look upon with con fidence. The Noble Lard therefore gave notiCe,_that he should on Friday next bring forward aMotion on this interesting and important subject ; and • their Lordships are summoned on the occasion. Sunday evening the IioYAL FAMILY did not walk on the Terrace, to the disappointment of a n un eious company. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK arrived at Windsor - from Town. We, are sorry to say that Princess MARY remains very. - much indisposed. None of the ROYAL FAMILY were seen, out yet.- terday. On Sunday their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK and CAMBRIDGE, and her Royal Highness the DuchesS of YORK, Colonel UPTON, an d a party of distinguished fashionables, took an aquatic excursion to Greenwich. Mr. Fox continues to improve in 'health, and hie friends begin to hOpe that he will in a .short time be entirely recovered. At one time there were symp toms which excited their apprehensions in,ho shght degree.
