. , „ Ministers question mit noi , ripe for disc/maid:a, be; cause the documents on which it was to be founded were not - before the'Honse, and while the minds of those Ministers were urgently pressed by, other mat= ters of more immediate importance. He was con= vinced, that when the documents should be laid oti the:fable, the causes of the defalcation would ap pear from a clear, minute; and accurate detail, fully satisfa&Ory ;' arid the only ground of difference on • former occasions between the Noble - Lord and hirti= self touching this subject was, that the Noble. Lord had formed all his statements, and founded all his argutbentsupon estimates, whereas he, Mr. Johnson, always argued from results. Dr. LAURENCE supported the Motiori 'and observed, that it now appeared the Noble Lord's flattering statement of the abundantly prosperous state of the affairs of the Company in 1803, was founded on a prospe&ive supposition •of a permanent Peace;, whereas, in one month afterwards, His Ma jesty's Message was brought down to the House, an nouncing the explosion of a neW War. Mr. PAULL replied to the several arguments against his Motion. He denied that the defalca tions in question were chargeable to the account of War ; on the contrary, his obje6tion was, that when the War broke out sudicient expence had not been gone into in the preparation for its continuance, or the means of bringing it to a speedy issue. He *as prepared to prove, that the defalcation arose frolla a ruinous system of commerce, by borrowing money at twelve and fifteen per cent. for purchasing inyeatments,„ and ten per cent. paid for commis sion upon those investments.; by which, in the Ben gal trade alone, a loss of above p millions had ac crued, and in the whole above fifteen millions. ,The test he imp'uted to money. wantonly, lavishly, and unnecessarily expended under the clireaion of the Noble Lord late at the head of the Government there., The objeEt of his Inquiry was, not to cri nainate the CoUrt of Direaors—but to put the sad dle on the right horse, and to bring home responsi bility where it ought to .attach. Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON seriously depre cated. the prominent disposition manifested by the - Honourable Gentleman who spoke last, to asperse and criminate the character of a Noble Person not rmay present to defend himself— a nd thi s b e f ore any Document to sustain his allegations, or any regular inquiry 'into the Noble Person's conclua, was before the House. At least he was sure if the Honour able Gentleman .did not condescend to take the advice he now took the liberty to offer him, he Sad sufficient experience of the candour and libe rality,of the House to be convinced that such alle gations, thus unsupported by any thing but assertion, Would have no weight in thtir-opinion: The Question being now put, the several Motions Of Mr. PAULL were carried. Lord HENRY PETTY moved, that a Cortinaittce• be appointed to examine the Accounts between Great Britain and Ireland:—Ordered ; and that they do sit ,on Thursday in the Speaker's Chamber.. -. Lord TEMPLE moved, that the House' do •on . Thursday take into consideration the Greenland Whale Fishery Bill.—Ordereal. Adjourned till Thursday. MAILS.

THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDF.AT ? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1806. ThE I''w-York Papers, which _arrived yesterday ; • clown to the 26th ult. contain intelligence of a very important nature. It is with the utmost regret we find that the . Party in America whose hostility to Great Britain is avowed, have not only succeeded in_exciting a general_clamour throughout the United , States against the conduCt of the British Cruiz .ers, but have a&ually proposed to the Legisla ture a, Bill of such an extraordinary nature, and containing such unprecedented provisions, that if it should pass, and be acted upon, it must, be produCtive of the • most fatal consequences.---' The professed object of this Bill is, to put a stop to the praCtice which it is stated has been carried on to a great extent by the Captains of British Vessels, viz. that of impressing American Seamen ; and, in order to attain this objeCt, it enacts, that any person •ho shall impress an American Seaman, under the pretext or colour of a Commission from any Foreign Power, shall be adjudged a pirate or felon, and upon conviction shall sutler death. A reward of 200 dol lars is to be paid to any American subjea who shall ki.l4 any persons attempting to impress him. lt is also enacted, that if any American Subject shall have been impressed on board any k'oreign Vessel, and shall suffer death, or any other corporal punishment, the President of the United States is authorized to infiia the most rigorous and exaa retaliation upon any SubjcCtOfthat Government, whom he may seize for that purpose ; and finally, every American Subject so impressed shall receive Go dollars a month, which sum may be raised by " attaching any private Debt due from any Citizen of the United States to any Subje& of that Government by Whose SubjeEts he had been impressed." Such are the pro visions of this most extraordinary Eill, which, if carried into a Law, must have the effee - t of preventitig- Dot only any Commercial intercourse, "but all inter coure whate er - between Great Britain and the. V:rnited Stat :s. The Bill. does not define what ten- stitutes a run a.Citizen of Unit td States—it att . . riot state what doctinients shall be *considered as a sufficient 'proof 'Of liis claim to that Charr'.a:,..t, does, it inflia Any pitniShrtient ttpOn those who shall , . grant to Aliens false Certificates of their being Ame rican Subje6ts. 'lt would .be an insult Upon the.uu derStanding of bur Readers to offer any:titore"cOni- Ments upon this extraordinary measure; we Iliive; however, too high an opinion of the good sense of the Atneilcan Legislature, to suppose that they can, however inflamed by prejudice, or misled by tiiis representation, finally give their assent to it. Tau ,Squadron under the command of Rear- - Admiral TH6IIIOIROUGH has sailed 'from Ply mouth, in consequence of a report of four Sail Of the Line having escaped from Brest. A very gallant A&ion took place a few days agd between tile Contest Gun-brig and a French Corvette of (2+ guns ; the latter was driven on the rocks in Bertheaume Bay, .and would have been completely destroyed if - it had not been for the heavy fire kept up from- the Batteries.

DUBLIN, FEB. 22.—Lord REDESDALE yesterday intimated in the Court of chancery, that he would . bencetorth.only hear such causes as 'have beenin part discussed before him, and such motions as'were. of a peremptory nature, as his continuance in office could not be of long duration. A very numerous• Audience attended the repre sentation of Macbeth last night at Covent-garden Theatre. KEMBLE is by no means sufficiently recO-, vered to do justice to his conceptions •in the 'part of Macbeth : he evidently reserved himself for- the-con cluding scenes; in which he displayed great spirit ; but the exertion was rather too much for the present state of his health. Mrs. StnnoNs gave the fuli force of her talents to the daring and subtle heroine of the Piece; Master BETTY performed • Dozigla last nii2;lll - :it Drury-lane Theatre.
