_: y abilities, and r•irtues. They a?I kneiv 'the ' - shde . thit he had in tin: viaory obtained over the - Spanish Fleet otf ,Cape St. Vincent's in the last War, and the signal destruation of the French Fleet by that Noble Admiral at Aboukir. It would also be remembered, how that Noble Person bad, under the walls of Copenhagen, dispersed the storm impending from the North of Europe, and dissolved the Con federacy of the Northero PoWers. The Committee would lastly remember the glorious Viaory obtained by him over the remains of the French and Spanish Navies that had escaped in the last War, which, by, a combination of circumstances, had united, and whose progress was some time a source of alarming solicitude. It would not be forgotten with what ardour and perseverance they had been pursued by 'the Noble Admiral to the West Indies, and thence mgain back to Cadiz, mud on their first attempt to leave that Port, he brought them to that a6tion which terminated so gloriously for the arms of Bri tain, and in which he so unfortunately fell. Such a death, however, was worthy of 'such a life ; and it. might be said of that Noble Person as had been said to a great man of antiquity—" Tit fidix Agricola, non tantum felicitate vitae sed opportuntate mortis," The Grant proposed was to be a living proof and testimony to, all future ages, that no - difficulties, no distress, however great, could extinguish the libera lity, or narrow the geberoSity of the British Nation, in rewarding such talents, such virtues, and such a life, so devoted to the service of his Country. The -Noble Lord concluded by moving the Resolution. 161 x. ROSE wished to know whether in t he 120,0001. %vas included any , provision for. 'the other mem bers of the Noble Lord's funny; or whether any far ther provision for them was intended ? Lord HENRY PETtY replied, that DO,OOOl. were to be laid out-in the purchase of a mansion and lands, to be annexed to the title ; that 10,0001. were to be given to Earl Nelson, to make such reparations or improvements therein as he should deeth neces sary, and that 10,0001. each were. to be granted • to Lie Lordship's two sisters. Mr. ROSE expressed great satisfnEtion at the Statementof the Noble Lord, because be knew that nothing had been so near ' the heart of that NOble person, now no more, as some provision, for thoge sisters. _ Mr. FRANCIS did not mean to oppose a Reso=: lution which went to reward en - tine - tit services. These were times of great services and of great liberality but it should be remembered also, that they were tithes of great difficulty and distress. The Grants Proposed were ,greater than the Rewards that, had been given to Lord 'Chatham, or to John, Duke of Marlborough. Mr-ROSE stated, 'that 'a sum of '5.10,0001. had been expended 'on Blenheim alone for the Duke of Marlborough, besides the Manor of Woodstock, granted 'him by the Crown. General TARLETON had always been 'an ad hiker of the military glory of the Duke of Marlbo rough'; but his Vi&ories bad not been achieved by English Armies exclusively. Lord Nelson, on the ontrary, had conquered with British Fleets. Never bad triumphs been more completely English than those ;acquired by him., Mr. 'WILBERFORCE bore testimony to the andeharader of the Mike of Marlborough. He admired the.principlOupon which the Hon. Gen tleman - (Mr. Francis) had spoken, but was of opi nion, that no reward for the services of Lord Nelson could be excessive, and he 'only wondered bow the Noble Lord could 'top short where he did. Fortunes were larger now than in the time of the Duke of Alarlbdrough, and the - Grant was no more than -stif •tcient for ale 'situation of the filthily. He recom mended that the lands and mansions should be pur chased in some place where they might be insight f our Fleets, to animate our Seamen, the instru ments 'of his Victories, to timilar achievements, by 'displaying - - to their view the splendid manner in Which The Nation rewarded -such signal services. Mr. FEANC;IS explained. Lord lIENRYTETTY agreed in the suggestion Hof The lion. Gentleman '(Mr. Wilberforce). The Idea had occurred to himself, and the Trustees, iii whom .the money was to be vested, would, he was sure, pay every attention to:it. The Resolutions Were then agreed to, and the Re- Port ordered to be-received to-morrow. An Address was ordered to His Majesty, on the Motion of Mr. ROSE, for Copies of the Reports of the Committee of the Privy Council for• Trade and Plantations, in the years 1.784 and 17411.!. IRON DUTY BILL. • ' The Committee on the Iron Duty Bill, which stood for Tl.u-sday next, •was, on the Wien. of Lord H. PETTY, deferred to Thursday fortnight.-- The Noble Lord stated his reason for this Motion to be,. that he might - have an opportunity in the inter mediate time of proposing other Taxes in lieu of this, which, from what had passed on a. former eight, seemed to be disapproved of by a considerable num ber of very respettable Members of the House. Mr. Rose.' and Mr. WIL,LIAM SMITH compli mented the Noble - Lord on his candour and mode ration. • The Committee on the Property* Duty Bill :was deferred to Thursday. • Adjourned. From the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS. lir PARIS, MAY 4.—M soon as Prince 30SEP1l had ar rived in the Kingdom of Naples, he divided his Atiny nto three Divisions. Thefirst he. laced under the Com mand of Maishal MAsSENA ; the. second under ST. Cyn ; the thirdunder REGNIER. The first was ordered • la occupy Naples, the surrounding country, and to lay siege to Gaeta ; the second to occupy La Puglia, , the .peninsula of Otranto and Tarento, and the shores of the Adriatic ; the third to occupy Calabria. The Siege of Gaeta is carried on vigorously. Our Soldiers have apnroached the ramparts, and ereEted some strong batteries against the fort. The second division of the Army .had taken pOssession of the peninsula of Otranto, of La Puglia, of Tarento, and the Coasts of the Adriatic. On the 20th of March General &Grim. had oc cupied Calabria. Prince JOSEPH himself went to Calabria : at the beginning of April he was at Co - . 1 henka. He met wi th an enthusiastic reception from ; the Calabrians. The wreck of the Neapolitan Army, .1 which had been dispersed in the mountains, had . j united, and committed every .species .a disorder. General \TERMER marched against them with tbreo battalions, puriued. thexa from mouptaiu to . , , mountain, ;nd from rock tO. 'rick, and killed a great number of them, - took the ',greater part prisoners, and re-established tranquillity ; , 'General Doroutt distinguished himself by the adivity and the courage which he displayed in different affairs. The King dom of Naples is entirely subdtied. Although we have already giVeil the details of the various events which occurred in Calabria, our Readers . will, we think, see a 'complete account with pleasure. Our Troops could not display machs courage against such bad Soldiers ; but they gave proofs of great activity and much patience, in sup 7 porting fatigue, Calabria being_a 'country entirely decomposed by earthquakes and vOkatioes. On the 17th. of April Prince Jatra arrived at Reggio, having made-a tour to the extremity of his Kingdom. Zt is there, most probably, that he will learn that he has been. acknowledged King of Naples. tHere follows a long Report of the Operations of the Third Corps ot the Army in. Calabria.l Letters from Turin mention, that among the Pri.. soners brought from . Naples, there is a person of the name of BIANCHI, accused of being an accomplice in the horrible attempt of the 3d Nivose, in the, year 8. This offender will be conducted under a military escort to Paris:. The other Prisoners are detained in the Castle of Fenestrelles. Letters from Rome mention that the privy purse of his Holiness the POPE, containing 7000 Roman crowns, was lately robbed in the Palace of Monto Cavallo. • The Port of Cherboufg has obtained the advantage of becoming a depOt fin colonial produce. PARIS, MAY Aid-de -Camp of the KING of NAPLES (Prince JOSEPH) has brought ten Standards here, which were taken in the different actions. He quitted Prince JosEpti on the 18th April, at the moment when that Prince had been proclaimed KING.9f NAPLES. At the audience which took place yesterday at St. ' Cloud, Captains LUCAS and L'INFERNIT, whb have lately arrived from England, were presented .to his , Majesty. Capt. LUCAS commanded the Redoubleible, in the Battle of Trafalgar, and- conduCted himself , in the most gallant manner; be attempted to beard the Victory, Lord NELsoN's Ship. , Captain .L'IN FERNIT also behaved in the bravest manner. After an unfbrtunate Affair, it is gratifying to acknowledge such conduCt. His Majesty said to the Captains LUCAS and L'INFERNIT, " If all my Vessels had conducted themselves as well, as those, which you commanded, the Vielory would have been ours. I know that there are several who haVe not' 'imitated 'your example, but I have ordered their conduit to be investigated. I have appointed you Commanders of the Legion of Honour. The Captains of the Vessels who, instead of boarding the Enemy, kept s ont of cannon-shot, shall be prosecuted, and if con• vicard; made a dreadful example of:" REGGIO, APRIL 20.—The new KING of NAPLES' arrived here two days ago. The CalabrianS have distinguished 'themselves by the reception. which they gave their new Sovereign. Every one was still& with the 'eloquence and purity of his language.

L 0 N 0 N, wr.oNss-DAy, MAY 14, 1866. Ma. jACKsog, the late British Minister at 'Berlin, whose arrival in England we announced yesterday, has, ,, we 'understand., brought over with himlhe final determinatiou.of the KiNGof PKIIstA, and we Ire sorry that that determination is such as 'to afford. the. most decisive proof that His Prussian Majesty is aaing under the influence, or rather 'the 'coniroul, of France. - in consequence ethe inforMation corn municatea 'by Mr. JACKSON to the British 'Govern ment, measures ef a6tive Hostility have 'been te solved upon against Prussia, and Letters .of Marque will be 'inimediately granted ag Prussian., Bre riietV and Pappenburgh Vessels.: The whole of the North d Europe will, if we are not muf± mistaken, be involved in all the calamities of War. The Cabinet of Berlin ; it appears, has at length:deter mined upon the Invasion of Swedish Pomerailia.. Orders have been issued for 'reinforcing the Army under the command of General KALKREUTIT, which is on the frontiers of Pomerania; and it is said that the command of the Expedition is to be entrusted to the veteran Meld-Marshal 4.VioLLEtcnoay. WE yesterday stopped the Press to state the ar rival of French Papers to the 7th inst. and we have since received Dutch Papers to the nth. They add - very little to the intelligence brought by the' Mail. The Russians ) so far from having evacuated Cataro, are natively employed in strengthening themselves in that quarter, and have taken posses sion of the island of Cuzola but upon this subjeet the French Pipers preserve a marked silence. With respect to Naples, it. is asserted in general terms that the whole of that Kingdom has submitted to the French, and that the Inhabitants have testified the , most lively joy on the exclusion of the old. Dynasty, and the appointment of JOSEPH BONArARTE to be their King. This, statement; however, does not . accord with the Proclarriation lately issued by - Prince Joseph, in which he declares that the retell ous 'Condua of his new • subjects have toreod him to -adopt measures 4 . .4' extraordinary severity, .cratraiy to tiro vellticahn• clemency' of his • digposition . ..-:-The - rortre§s. of Qact4 is at presed too insignfficaq to be noticed in the Avinteur, though if it should dn'fortanately be 'convened to surrender, that Official P*er will diScover its importance. . Lora HENRY PETTY yesterday moved to postpone the consideration of the Pig lion iitiity Bill till to morrow fortnight, and signified that he:should in the mean time-endeavour to discover some atibstitute that may be less' objedionable. .:" a., • Mr.'PLomtk continued his defence <A Lord MEL VILLE this morning, with great earnestss and force of argurnept..

HOLKAR was . reduced to the necessity of thus throwing himself Upon the mercy of his Opponent, not only from 'the, severe piivations Which lie hut so long endured, but from the circumstances of 'his having been deserted by almost the whole of his 00-icers, and a great part of his Troops. The overture of 1 . *3 submission having been made so far back as the mouth of Decenaber, there can remain no doubt of all matters ha‘ving ere this been completely adjusted ; and hence .May the expeaation be reasonably entertained, that tjie next advices will announce the re-establishnient 4f a Ge 7 neral Peace in India, upon a permanent and lasting foundation.

A Tender, belonging to His Majesty's Ship Culloden, with 'Dispatches tbr Penang, was the only other prize she had made : she, of course, would be of little value, as we hope the DispatChes have been destroyed. It is said, that the.

The Commanders Of these Ships were put on board an American Vessel, bound to Bengal. On the 4th inst. St/RCUFF fell in with, and captured the Ship_ Robust; Capt. WATERS, from Calcutta, .after a chace to the N. W. of 13 hours. He fell in with her the day after she had left the Pilot, at which time four other Ships were in s sight, viz. the Coromandel, Tay, Lady Leith and Eliza. These Ships left Calcutta in company with the Robust, and owe their escape from the Enemy to the superior sailing of that Ship, and the long chace she gave him in consequence. Capt. WATERS was put on board a Portuguese Vessel, and landed from her at Pondicherry. MADRAS GAZETTE, Nov. 2, 180 S.
